A Visit to Maine

         
            I'm kind of nervous to report anything...because the trend of the past few updates has been for our plans to change dramatically about a week following any update! Well if Hebrews says we entertain Angels, I don't mind giving them something to laugh at once more with this update. :)
            I'm writing this from the city of Lewiston, ME. Lewiston is very unique in that it has a population of nearly 20% Somalian refugees living in it. Somalis, for all they've been through in their war torn nation and horrific refugee camps have some of the warmest smiles and handshakes. Being able to live next door to Hope House, a Family Support Center that opens its doors to families from all over the Lewiston/Auburn area I've been able to see a glimpse of some of the timely ministry God is doing back in my home state. It's also exciting to discover that the Burn 24-7 movement to establish prayer rooms all over the globe have led to 24/7 prayer meetings all over my state! So far I've discovered gatherings in Lewiston, Portland and Waterville!
            Introducing Jubilee to her aunts and uncle and reuniting her with her American grandparents has been so special. She loves her cousins, and they can't help but gush over her right back. :) Reconnecting with our home church at EABC, as well as a new house church ministry and countless friends is such a joy, overwhelming to think of all the people we haven't seen yet!

           We'll be staying at my home in Maine for the Spring and Summer months. Our goal is to be back in Kona before the Fall quarter starts at the University of the Nations. We'll continue to staff with the Elevate School of Worship which we're really blessed and honored to be a part of. This SOW has been life-changing for me personally. God has been sharing so much with me in the areas of intimacy, son-ship, and the marriage of intercessory prayer/ worship and the missions movement. We're committed to the training and sending out of devoted worshipers, prayer room pioneers, new songs and industry changers through the School of Worship school throughout the rest of the year. My family is personally praying into and discussing two outreach locations where we'll see new schools pioneered. Those locations are both in East Asia and as we get closer to a commitment I'll post more details. Please be praying for the necessary support to be raised on during this trip home, as well as vision to be cast, destinies in the Lord to be realized, and hearts to chase after out Lord of Love.
