I hope your enjoying the Journey we are on so far! i know its not the real housewives but at least you feel uplifted afterwords! Well its been a crazy busy two weeks! Our team went to Ywam Los Angles to fellowship and prayer with our LA family. Also to check out some places in Orange County! God has spoken for us to have our ministry base there. We learned there isn't a ywam base in OC also there is around 200 universities in the area! During prayer God has been speaking alot about college age students!!
When we first arrived in LA we ate dinner met some of the people there and that night Brett and Karen (ywam ships visionaries) shared amazing stories of their 25 year experience on YWAM Ships and how the Lord spoke to them to start YWAM SHIPS Orange County!
After story sharing Joy Dawson one of the foundational women of ywam had a word of encouragement. She shared how God spoke this to her many year ago and has yet to see it fulfilled. She was thankful to see it in her lifetime. 85 years old the sweet Joy Dawson is a legend in YWAM's history. 50 years in ministry is an amazing accomplishment! Only by God's grace and love for his people! We are excited to see all the amazing things God will do from here.
Early the next morning we left for Orange County. We prayed and God spoke some direction and we were off. We went to Huntington beach first. Its a thriving surf spot, young people go to surf and relax by the beach, then to Corona Del Mar the same spot the Jesus movement revival in the 70's went down. We also went to Calvary Chapel the Church they went to for the word by the legendary Lonnie Frisbee spoke & Keith Green. This is so near and dear to Patrick and my heart. We have gotten many words of the Lord that we have the same "anointing" or characteristics as these men and women who were apart of this amazing movement. Patrick also is very interested in revival so its another confirmation a wink of the Lord so to speak..http://www.one-way.org/jesusmovement/
We were also meeting with a pastor in Orange co who was interested in teaming up with us in evangelism. When we pulled into the parking lot we realized we were at the sanitary! We were meeting with Jay Hazelip! He is a professional skateboarder/pastor and Patrick and i would watch his TV show call The uprising. Jay and his friends would go to skate parks and skate being noticed all as famous skateboarders they would minister the gospel in such power. This was all on film and we watched every single episode. We were beyond encouraged! I looked at Patrick and said wouldn't it be amazing if we were to do ministry with these guys. We just felt a burning passion in our hearts. Who knew we would be there two years later with him asking to do ministry with us? GOD knew! Another confirmation. i cant name all of them or else this blog would become a book. we were beyond blessed on our adventure to LA & Orange county!
