The Little Children and Jesus!

Dear Partners,

Hi! Thank you for standing with us as we witness the Lord moving mightily across Asia and in our lives in Mississippi.

THE LITTLE CHILDREN AND JESUS

We all look forward to heading north on Friday, August 3rd, to share the love of Jesus through the VBS program at Grace Fellowship Church of Titusville, PA.

You know, people brought little children to Jesus. In fact, the disciples rebuked the people for doing so, but, when Jesus saw this going on, He got angry and said, as recorded in the gospel of Mark 10:14, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these."

Jesus went in to present a truth: that to receive the Kingdom of God a person needs to be like a little child. A little child trusts, believes, humbles himself/herself, and innocently walks in obedience to his/her father or mother.

In Mark 10:16, Jesus went on to take "the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them."


I ask you to pray and give in support to us this week as we seek to be a blessing to the children who come to the GFC Church VBS program. Pray the heavens open and God`s presence and life will flow into each child. PTL!!

BALLET MAGNIFICAT - SUMMER INTENSIVE

I want to thank you for praying so that Jacob and Abigail could attend this years 2012 summer intensive. God blessed in unexpected ways!

As we attended the finale this past week, God allowed us to receive a harvest of what it means to believe and trust God with your children and the next generation of who God wants to raise up for Kingdom purposes.

Thank you and let`s believe God in the days to come!

FAMILY UPDATE

We, as a family, look to see family and friends as we head to PA/OH. Samantha continues to finish her High School program and prepare to graduate. Marcia continues on as usual and will be starting 10th grade soon.

Michelle and I sense God`s hand in our way. We count on your prayers and believe God with you for harvest on every seed sown into us and this Reign of Grace Ministries. THANK YOU!

Reign of Grace!

Dear Partners,

Hi! we love and appreciate you very much!

In Acts 13:47 it says, "For this is what the Lord has commanded us: `I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.`"

The Lord is moving mightily across Asia and in our lives in Mississippi.

BALLET MAGNIFICAT - SUMMER INTENSIVE

The summer intensive 2012 at Ballet Magnificat has enjoyed a great first two weeks. Jake finds himself at the half-way point of his four week program in the pre-professional level.

And, we are so proud and excited to announce that Abigail has joined the intensive for the final two weeks. As you may recall, a student may come for two weeks or four weeks. She has joined a brand new group of kids and we know and believe that she will not only learn more of the dance, but also grow in her relationship with the Lord.

Thank you for standing with us for Jake and Abigail!

VISIT TO PA/OH

At the beginning of August, we all look forward to heading north to see family and friends and share the Love of Christ through the VBS program at Grace Fellowship Church of Titusville. Pastor Phil at GFC has shared with us that he anticipates a good turn out and we so look forward to the opportunity.

Michelle and I sense God ordering our steps in this way and know we can count on your prayers for us as we go.

MISSION OUTREACH - JAPAN

Mark 16:15 says, "He said to them, `Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to all creation.`"

As we wait on Him to receive new and fresh power "from on high", we continue to connect and believe for missionaries serving God`s Kingdom in Japan and Asia.

We personally sense that God is about ready to burst forth in Asia with fresh revelation, new alignment, new assignments, and greater vision resulting  in further Kingdom advancement.

Even Michelle and I are sensing the leading of the Holy Spirit to visit Japan sometime this fall. We not only have need to renew our re-entry permits and keep up our permanent residences, but also we need to experience what God is doing in this nation of our calling.

Our hope and desire remains that we all as a family may be able to travel over and spend about two weeks. We continue to wait on Him and see the ordering of our steps in this area.

This remains a bold and adventurous challenge for us, but we know God is able.

ISAIAH 52: 7 "How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of these who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, `Your God reigns.`"


PSALMS 96:3, "Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous works among all the people."


Do you want to help bring the Gospel?


You can play an important role in bringing the Kingdom to Japan and Asia. Your partnership allows us to fulfill our call to Japan/Asia.

Thank you for your incredible love, prayers, and support! We love and thank God for you.

Together we do make a difference!

Dear Partners,

It has been just about one year (already) since we relocated to Mississippi.  We are so thankful for each of you and your generous support, prayer and words of encouragement on the way.  Each of the kids have had a successful year of school.  Samantha will be graduating in a few weeks and is looking forward to the start of new things.  Jake is at the Ballet Magnificat Summer Intensive for the month of July.  Many many thanks to everyone who has given towards his time there.  We so appreciate your love gifts and prayers for him.  Marcia and Abigail continue to work hard on Japanese summer homework and look forward to spending time in Ohio and Pa later on in August.

Did you ever go to VBS?  I remember VBS as a very special time in the summer to get to know the LORD more and to see God move in other kids lives.  We are looking forward to a special time in Titusville for a very special VBS!  We will be helping out Titusville Grace Fellowship with a great VBS program, August 5th to the 9th.  Join us in prayer for the transformation of children's lives and even for those who will meet the LORD for the first time ever!  We are excited about this time up in PA!  We hope to see lots of you while we are there!

From Michelle.... I am doing fine.  These days have been exciting as I have had more opportunities than usual to pray and prophecy for people.  I have been challenged to press in to the LORD more and as a result,  more doors have opened for prayer and giving an encouraging word.  God is SO good!!  Ephesians 2:10,  "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."

MESSAGE

Have you been longing for a deeper more intimate walk with the Father?


Recently, we have enjoyed watching the old classic sit-com "Father knows best" on Netflix. Our loving Heavenly Father cares, loves, and knows exactly what is best for us. And, when we put our trust in Him, we may truly experience abundant love from Him.

My prayer for you today remains that you will experience the love of God in a fresh, greater, more heart-felt way than ever before. 

More specifically, God has been leading me to focus on several areas during this time.

  • Honoring and Glorifying Him - No matter what the circumstances, God wants us to worship, praise, and celebrate what He has done for us at the cross. Praise changes the atmosphere!
  • Declare His promises - You know, life and death are in the power of the tongue. When we speak forth His promises, God arises in our midst and brings breakthrough.
  • Wisdom and Counsel - When we seek His wisdom, He reveals the "how to" of how to fulfill His calling on our lives. Also, the Bible says that in the multitude of counsellors there is victory in war. In the same way, we need to seek counsel from those God has placed in our lives.
  • The Word - We constantly need to be washed by the "Word of God". Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. As we saturate ourselves with the Word, we grow in faith and see the enemy defeated.
May God refresh our hearts and renew our call in this season!
