From Europe to the Rock.

Aloha!

The long-awaited update is finally here! I don't know how long awaited this blog actually is, I just realize it has been far too long since my last one. After not posting for over three weeks, I could feel the itch in my fingers to share with you about life and the move of God on the Kona campus and what we, as AWAKEN staff are anticipating for the future. 

The trip to Amsterdam was incredibly insightful. Since the last video update, we were able to learn so much from different ministry leaders and people who have invested their lives into the city. The Holy Spirit is moving on the hearts of people in Amsterdam, and hearts are being softened to the Lord. One example of this is the ministry of the Tabernacle. The Tabernacle, or “the Tab” is a prayer house in the middle of the Red Light District that has been in operation for the last 3 years or so. Since they have been praying for the city and other initiatives, the city of Amsterdam has closed 1/3rd of the windows that prostitutes advertise in. Needless to say, the Spirit of the living God is moving, and the hard ground is being cultivated.

This summer is proving to be one of change and more anticipation of the Spirit moving. I have been back on campus for a little under three weeks now, and what I feel God is doing in my own heart, and campus-wide is emphasizing that our identity is found in Him and Him alone. He is who defines us. Outside of Him there is only works and a constant searching for worth in a title or position. Through His kindness, God invites us in as Sons and Daughters to show the world redemption and identity. I believe strongly that this is what He desires to do.

Prayer and Support!

Prayer points for staff and the DTS: That we would continue to live in knowing our identity and mentor these young men and women in their identity in Christ. Out of that mentorship, our desire is to see faith-filled students launched into missions and see change happen in the nations.

Also, finances is a huge need. If you desire to see a detailed description of my current need, check out my mission tab. Briefly, I am in need of 80% of my goal of $2,000 a month. I know this looks like a large amount, and I am totally trusting the Lord for the details. I have some amazing supporters who are keeping me in missions, but the need is on-going as my life for the foreseeable future will continue in missions.

Thank you for your interest in the life of a missionary! Many blessings!
