Almost Done Here!
















Wow!!! I can't believe that I have been here in the Philippines for 6 weeks already! It has been an absolutely incredible time and God has blessed me in many many ways! The graduation for the Bible School students is Saturday in the morning so its been a very exciting time. Because this was the last week of classes there were "Presbytery Services" where all of the graduates were prayed for and many of them received prophecies and words of direction; it was awesome! I was also prayed for and God spoke some amazing things to me about missions and music! It was so wonderful because I had all these ideas about what God might say, but none of them was right at all. Haha! God has a way of humbling us like that! But, even though I didn't receive the words that I was expecting I still got conformations about my call in the ministry of music, youth and, most importantly, worship! He is just to good!

This Saturday afternoon I will be giving a concert in Manila at one of the churches where they are having a youth rally! I will be playing 5 of my own songs and then havinjg a time a worship where I am praying God will move in a powerful way and work in the hearts of the non-believers who will be there!!! There will be a few hundred people there, saved and unsaved. Could you pray with me about this!? I know that God has given me this opportunity, and I am desiring more than anything that He will be glorified at this "Youth Revive" meeting! This generation needs to become more desperate and passionate about Jesus and the lost, and I believe God wants to release his spirit in a great way as we relentlessly seek Him! Alright! I am so excited about what God is doing here in the Philippines and look forward to seeing what He is doing in Spain! Please pray with me and be a part of the Lords work in these countries.

I will be leaving for Spain on Sunday at 6:00pm (your Sunday morning at 5:00 am). After I arrive on Monday afternoon I will be helping with a Youth Camp and possibly leading a guitar workshop! Also next week I will be working with some YWAM'ers at an outreach in the city of Malaga! After that, who knows!!! I love God and want to encourage you that He is alive and active in our world! The US is no exception! I pray that when I get back home I can use what God has given me to help win our great country for Christ!

I know what some of you are thinking too. That I am super passionate because I'm on the mission field and when I get back this fire might die. Well, your right! I am excited because of what I'm seeing and doing here. And your also right about it maybe being a "flash in the pan" or a shooting star of emotion and desire for Christ. I have been thinking about this and I am praying that what God has done will not be lost when I get home. Because the fact of the matter is, that's what always happens. Ya know? So I need your prayers! Yes, I NEED them! Because its only by the grace of God that I am where I am, and its only by His strength that I will be able to maintain this level of heat! You need my prayers too, and you will have them, because I want all of you to achieve as much in God as you can! AS always I have so much more to say but not enough time :) I love you all and hope you keep checking in to see what God is doing!

TEll me waht you though of this post! God bless!

  2. Hi Bro. Hope to see you again next semester at the bible school; as God directs you! Your presence with us in the bible school is a blessing! To keep the fire of God's calling in your life is to continue to do some of the basic christian discipline; like reading His Word, engaging god in your talk with HIM! Keep yourself busy in the ministry of your church, especially using your God given talent! Will miss you Bro! Von voyage! God bless you as you travel and minister to people! Just keep in touch!
