A Week Away

it's Thursday night. A week from today I will be on the bus to California. Please be praying for us as we embark on what the Lord is doing over California. Please be praying for safety for our trip and supernatural faith and boldness!

I am doing good. I am very excited about California, I am asking the Lord for an increase in faith, because I don't want to put expectations on a God who is totally and completely Transcendent, and wholly other than us. The Lord is so faithful! I am so blessed with a wonderful family, and friends. Thank you all for your prayers!

As far as classes go we just finished an overview on Song of Solomon which is full of revelation! I can't wait to dive into that deep end! It is so awesome that we are being served so much of the Lord! But it's like being starving at a huge banquet, even though there is abundance of food, you can't eat it all in one sitting. Ok, well I've got to go to bed so I can wake up in the morning! Thank you all for your prayers and support! I love you all!

Blessings!

Friday

Thank you all so much for your prayers!

Soon we (The students at IHOPU) will be going on our trip to California and to before we embark we are joining many college students across California in a 21 day Daniel fast. We will begin fasting on Oct. 24th, and will end Nov. 13th right at the end of the California trip. I would really appreciate prayer in that area because, frankly I'm not so great when it comes to fasting; who on their own is? I would love it if you could pray for grace from the Lord for me to fast. I don't know why I titled this post 'Friday', except the fact that it is Friday today. I need to be going to bed right now. I'm so tired. OK, that's really all I have to say I think. oh and I would love for anyone to post comments or whatever, anyone can do that. I think I want to start posting some of my sermons on here. I have been meditating on this one verse

Psalm 27:4. "One thing that I desire, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. To gaze upon the beauty of the Lord, and seek (inquire of) Him in His temple".

God is stirring the students at the International House of Prayer University (IHOPU), and I have an opportunity to be a part of history in the making. In November, I will be joining hundreds of other IHOPU students in a missions-strike called the Blitz!  that will target the heart of Southern California.

I was excited to attend IHOPU this fall, and I was full of expectation of what God would do in my life. Beginning in November last year, God has been pouring out his Spirit on the students of IHOPU in an unusual way. In fact, IHOPU has been having Awakening services most nights of the week for the last 10 months; hundreds of people have been healed physically, and hundreds more have been delivered of emotional bondages like depression and suicide. Not only that, but since all of the Awakening meetings have been streamed live via the internet, people have been touched all around the world.

Last Spring, IHOPU students descended the college campuses of Boston. They wanted to see the same manifestations of God’s power break out amongst college students at Harvard, and Boston University (and others) as we had seen at IHOPU.  God met them with power and they saw salvations won for Christ, as well as healings and deliverance power breaking out.

Now, we have set our sights on Southern California. In November, IHOPU students will descend on Los Angeles, Pasadena, Laguna Hills, San Diego, and other locations in the SoCal region. I will be preaching the gospel to the lost, praying for the sick, leading prayer meetings in local churches, and strengthening college students at local Universities. On November 11th, I will join thousands of college-aged young adults at the FIGHT!, a call to mobilize the next generation of missionaries who will finish the commissions to take the Gospel to every nation, tribe, and tongue.

This missions-strike isn’t covered by my tuition, and I’ve got to raise the monies needed to get to SoCal. I would like to ask you to pray about partnering with me financially to help me get to California. I’ll be in contact with you soon. 

If the Lord so leads you to partner with Him and His movement on Southern California then please e-mail me at:

 or call me at 832-492-5570

Thank you! God Bless!

Oh Boy

I want to thank you all so much for your prayers! The work is hard. But it is totally worth it. they really put you in a place to connect with God, and they force you into a place to connect others to God haha! But I'm loving it here. If you guys want to pray specifically for me I would like prayer for focus on God and a wholeheartedness on His work in me. I am doing ok financially learning to not spend so much money since I don't have a job (God specifically told me not to get one) so you could pray for that as well. I am very blessed! I am home sick and I'm eager to come back to visit home. Right now the soonest I will be able to visit is in 10 weeks (Thanksgiving) but I am right where God wants me I'm sure of that. Also if you could pray that I continue to hear His voice more and more clear every day! thank you so much! God bless you all!

and if you see my family members tell them I love them!
