Dear Friends & Family,
It's more than overdue for an update. How's everyone doing? We'd love to hear updates on your lives and how we can be praying for you. Please send us a message over Facebook or email us. Stay in touch.
We've been staffing this January school, serving a lot in the kitchen and behind the scenes. We've also been doing some media/marketing for our base as well as being on the planning team for the Prayer & Missions Conference that we hosted as a base.
You guys, it was incredible! God is so good. We gathered six different YWAM bases, an IHOP worship team, and a local church to seek God together through intimacy and to pursue more unity within the body of Christ. It was so amazing. God spoke to so many people that testified throughout the week. People got healed emotionally and physically. Shoulders and knees and backs were healed in the name of Jesus! A bunch of us girls even got gold dust on our hands. Because God loves to "kiss" his children, he made his girls "sparkle."
The worship was so annointed and we were so blessed to have Ryan Kondo with us that really imparted what he's learned from being at IHOP. Then having Josh Cole from New Zealand and our own John Faull, as base directors, share the word of the Lord. It was so inspiring.
And, the church let us use their facilities for FREE!!! They were so gracious to let 200 young people use their facilities. Thankfully we were able to give them a love offering, but they were incredibly gracious.
We believe God is stirring up the church, in general, to seek more intimacy with Him and out of that flows the unity and intimacy we can have with each other. There needs to be more unity in the body of Christ. It shouldn't matter which denomination you come from or what organization. Even if you don't agree with one another, we are called to LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
This January school is just about to go on outreach and we are excited to send them off into the nations of Nepal, India, Uganda, Peru, Fiji...to name a few. It has been amazing to see the transformation in their lives this school. Two girls on the school even made decisions for God, coming into the school questioning if God is real. They've found their answer and now are just learning how to grow as a believer. Thank you for sowing into us, so that we can sow into them.
Lately we have been planning a lot for our school and will continue to do so up until it starts June 18th. Pray that we get more students. We have about 8 right now, hoping for a few more. There is another school running alongside ours so we'll be doing some lectures with the "Around the World" school. We've got some great speakers we are really excited about, including Dan Baumann who was imprisoned in Iran for 9 weeks. We are excited for him to share his testimonies with us.

I have three "one on ones" this school. Sadly, there were not enough guys for Josh to have a "one on one" this school, but he's been finding ways to be intentional with some of the guys. Victoria from Rio, Brazil on the left and Catherine from Chicago, USA on the right. Not pictured is Ludi or Lydia from Germany. They are amazing girls and I truly believe that they will change the world for Christ.
- Our school that starts June 18th. Pray that we are able to get the right speakers and will lead it as we are led by the Spirit.
- Finances - that God would continue to provide. So far, we haven't met our goal in monthly support, but God has provided in miraculous ways. We even got blessed financially by a man we don't even know. And it's been so cool. Even though we've had less, we've given away more than when we had full-time jobs. HA. God's kingdom is so upside-down.
