Let your Praise Change the Atmosphere!

Dear Friend and Prayer Warrior,

Michelle, Jacob, and I just returned from the Ramp Conference in Hamilton, Alabama. This high-impact, high-energy event really shook us from our complacency and led us into a  raw encounter with God.  

On the final night of the event, the place exploded with violent praise and worship. In fact, the worship leader could no longer lead as the band played with all their heart, soul, and mind to the Lord. 

This lead to an invitation to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. What an amazing, powerful time as many were visibly moved and touched by the presence of God and spoke in a heavenly language. 

In Psalms 150, it says, 

"Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heaven! Praise him  for his mighty works; praise his unequaled greatness! Praise him with a blast of the ram`s horn; praise him with the lyre and harp! Praise him with the tambourine and dancing; praise him with strings and flutes! Praise him with a clash of cymbals; praise him with loud clanging cymbals. Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord! Praise the Lord!"

So, if you feel like you stuck in your circumstance, just begin to worship! Allow God to breathe new life into you and strengthen you for the journey ahead!

This actually came after a great time of "21 days of prayer" at Christ life Church of the Highlands! We gathered each weekday morning, and on Saturday morning, to pray and seek the Lord as we move into the fall and winter. 

We thank God for this awesome time in His presence.

JACOB- Trainee Program at Ballet Magnificat

The NACD program Jacob has been in is coming to an end. And, although he will continue working on school in the evenings, he will start the trainee program at Ballet Magnificat on a full-time basis. 
Please pray for him as he starts in this new direction. 

The trainee program at Ballet Magnificat is much like a Bible school. It runs from September to May. Jacob is believing for $1800 to pay for this nine month school year. Tuition is $145 per month. And, if you include some supplies, the monthly payment will come to about $200. 

We are unsure if he can keep a job at the same time as participating in the school and studying in the evening. If you would like to help Jacob reach his goals, we are looking for a sponsor (or sponsors) who might be able to fund this activity. If you would like to help, please let us know.

Also, if you would like to to commit to pray for him, that would be greatly appreciated and very needed.  We thank God for Jake and look forward to this next season.  

FAMILY

Meanwhile, Samantha is doing well. Since returning from Australia, she has secured a part-time job and remains very active in praise and worship at the Church. Marcia has entered her senior year in high school. Abigail is excited to dance! In fact, she is hoping to compete in ballet this next year.

We thank God for you! Thank you for standing with us as we continue on the Lord here!
