Jesus is doin stuff

Yup. It's true. He really is. And that shouldn't come as a surprise. I mean He loves us all. By us all, I mean like - every single human on earth. From the dirty homeless guy in Portland, to the oppressive government official in Argentina, to the weird  DTS staff at the YWAM base in Montana. (mostly meaning me on that last one) So what's He doing you ask? we-----ll, let me tell you. In our first few weeks, we saw men and women being healed from years of hurt, guilt and shame. We saw freedom from oppression of the enemy. (demons and crap like that) We saw SO much wisdom imparted and more importantly taken in and applied. That's all cool, but what is it for? Proclaiming the gospel! It's the friggin Word of God. And it is true. And it is good. And it is life changing. So we drove a whole bunch of big vans across four states to do just that! Salem Oregon. One of our other staff (Chase Fowler) has family there and his dad pastors the Salem Alliance Church and they were extremely hospitable. We slept in their youth building and used it for lectures and dinners and what not. From there, they set us up with a bunch of awesome ministries. We got to work with the city of Salem building gardens for a foods and lifestyle teaching and training program with junior grade schools. We were able to work with homeless shelters, food banks and thrift shops as well. Plus, of course, we got to head out into the warm green streets (it was plus 10-15 everyday) and meet people. Hear their stories. If they were into it, we got to love on em with prayer too! Jesus wants us, nah He commands us to share His love. Sometimes that means actually (gasp) telling people about His love and what that all means and blah blah blah you need it to change and all that stuff. So we did. And it was good.
    So now we are back in Montana. Sitting and learning in lectures. Mostly I am helping my Argentina co-leader prepare for outreach these days. I am in the office way to much, yet apparently too little... there's just always more to figure out. But it is all coming along and God's got er figured so we aren't worried. Yup. that's my life in a nutshell at the moment. What's that? You wish you were a part of it? read the next chunk -

I am still struggling with my finances here. I do not want to guilt anyone into anything. What I really want, and what I believe Jesus wants, is people to join me. To partner with me and Jesus on this awesome adventure. The truth is, that I work for a non profit and I am 100% reliant on the support of people like you! Proclaiming the gospel requires finances like anything else. And thank goodness God is big and good and knows my needs. So please pray. Pray that I remain faithful in bringing this to God in prayer and fasting. That I do all I can. and If you also feel lead to join me in proclaiming this good news and love to people, then check out the link at the bottom of the page. Or email me. Or facebook me. If you have any questions at all, please ask me.
I love you all. Thanks for the support even just from reading what I am up to.
love and be loved
