Just the Beginning!

Hey Party people!

It's Patrick & Lindsey with good news! JESUS IS LORD! & We are also staffing a Discipleship Training School (DTS) this coming January.

What does this mean?

The Discipleship Training School (DTS) is more than YWAM’s entry-level course; it is a wild pursuit of God and His heart for the nations! As staff we will lead students from all around the globe as they are immersed into a community dedicated to effectively reaching the world with the Gospel. Teachers from all over will come and empower us with the Word of God, and stories from their experiences.

Patrick and I will be hands on praying for the students as needed. Leading them on local outreaches, times of prayer and worship. We will be their encourager's though out the whole school.

The Outreach Phase is an intense two or three month opportunity for us to apply what we learned. No location or people group is off limits. Along with a team of fellow disciples,  we will seek to advance the Kingdom of God through fighting injustices and through proclaiming Christ’s love. You will feed the hungry, clothe the naked, mend the brokenhearted, free the captive, and heal the sick.

Where will the DTS take place?

On the beautiful Island of Catalina for the first month. There we are teaming up with an Christian organization called Mountain and Sea Adventures. http://www.mountainandsea.org/.

For the remainder of the school we will be in Kona, Hawaii. Our team was invited by the founder of YWAM Loren Cunningham.  His heart for the ship ministry is huge and he wants to work with our team one on one. What a privilege. After our training is over we will sail off on a three month outreach these possible destinations: Papa New Guinea, Ukraine, Italy, Egypt,Norway, & the Caribbean. We will know after the school starts & prayer with the students.

OC Uprising!

Welcome to our blogspot! Here you will find stories of joy, stories that inspire. Thanks for Stopping by! Please sit back, relax and let Jesus touch your heart.

Here is a quick  update you on our recent outreach to Orange County! Eight people from our team plus 250 young fired up missionaries from YWAM Kona & Denver hit the streets of Orange County to do evangelism. We saw hundreds of people come to Jesus, many miracles, healings, and radical salvation to the lost. We all got together in the mornings to share testimonies, pray, and praise the Lord. After we were pumped on the exciting stories we heard we went out to the streets to see Jesus do his thing. Then at 7pm we had a tent set up right on Huntington Beach for all to come and enjoy the Lord with us. There were several local pastors who came to share testimonies. Jay Haizlip and Christian Hosoi, who are two world famous skateboarders, shared their radical testimonies and blessed us with some amazing teaching. People of all ages went up front to receive Jesus as the Lord. Many people were touched and brought up their cigarettes, drugs, and hearts to "give to the Lord". We were able to encourage many people. We are now so excited and empowered for what God is doing in Southern California.
Exactly 40 years a revolution called the "JESUS MOVEMENT" happened.. Now this is the generation that is rising up and ready to see God sweep through this nation and change lives in a revolutionary way.
We are so blessed to be a part of what God is doing. Our desire is to be Gods vessels that manifest Jesus Christ throughout the earth! That the Glory of God will cover the earth as the waters cover the seas.
