Here's an attempt to highlight points from my life in 2010 and give you a picture of what I am looking forward to in 2011...
January - March 2010 was the beginning of my DTS in Amsterdam. Living in Dutch culture all during lecture phase taught me a lot about the beauty of the Lord. I took away confidence and learned about the Lord’s dreams for me...

March - May My outreach in Thailand and Holland was a shock to my worldview. I learned how to love people without the luxury of the use of words. I learned love by action. Ministering to village tribes, loving underprivileged children through sunday school lessons and games, helping mentally and physically handicapped adults with the daily struggles of life, and loving prostitutes. This was what I had the privilege of doing for my outreach...

June - September were my first months staffing. Learning how to disciple people through humility and love, and teaching about identity in Christ through fresh revelation that God daily poured out on me. These months were a precious time of breaking and building up, to propel me into the months to come...

| Awaken Crew: I love you all |
September - November I co-lead a team of 8 people to Nicaragua and Costa Rica to literally serve wherever there was need. Our three months were lived by the leading of the Holy Spirit, and were focused on loving God and through an overflow of His love, loving others. Our time was a sweet breaking of our pride and physical comfort.

This year I am committed to staffing the Awaken DTS in Kona in the summer. In the months prior, I will be on the road, visiting Churches and gaining perspective on what the Lord is doing in the church in America, while also doing ministry. At the end of the road trip, I will be in L.A., California to focus primarily on ministry and impartation. At the end of this trip, there is a possibility of going to N K for a couple weeks as well. I can’t believe how the Lord is lining things up already, but I am excited and ready to jump into it again.

I pray you are doing well! I also want to be in contact with anyone who is interested about the possibility of becoming a supporter. I absolutely need prayer as well as financial support. Thank you for your interest in my life! I am thankful for what the Lord is preparing to do this year. I have never had such anticipation for a year to begin and for what the Lord would reveal. God bless!
