The winds of change are blowing! We are in the midst of the most wonderful story as the people of God. I love dwelling on the reality that we are living in-between the first and second coming of Jesus Christ. We live in the moment where we have His saving power rescuing our very lives, His word being written on our hearts, and our lives being aligned with His to walk out His will and see the lost saved while preparing a way for His second coming. What a sweet reality… Catch us up in your story God.
…I arrived in Kona January 15th from Orange County, CA.
Here is a bit of the journey!
Meet some of the family from Orange County. 
This is a picture from thanksgiving day as we celebrated in complete joy!
Meet the Brennt Family, Sue Gray, and Rick Wilkerson.
This was a small part of our outreach team in Orange County and we are all on board to serve in all the circuit rider schools this summer! The schools start in June and run for two weeks. The locations are Los Angeles, Denver, Orlando, Kansas City, and London!
After departing from this incredible family I was off the Kona to lead worship for the corporate DTS week… let the journey continue!
Made it to Kona safely and was so excited to see Kona family again! I arrived in Orange county August 14th 2011 and landed in Kona January 15th 2012 thinking it would be a short trip, but God caught me by surprise and I find myself still in Kona today, February 18th. I love this phrase from Ignatius Loyola,
“Ignatius Loyola described the ideal Jesuit as “living with one foot raised” always ready to respond to emerging opportunities.”
Living with one foot raised… that is a liberating statement for a missionary!
Shortly after I arrived to Kona I rushed straight down to the Marshallese community. About a year ago I began to go spend time with a group of children an hour south of the YWAM base. There is a community from the Marshall Islands that live in Kona. They are some of the most beautiful, hospitable, tender people I have ever met. I always look forward to what God has in store as he continues to pour out His heart for these people.
Random side note about this bag before I move on…
While I was in the airport heading to Kona, an extremely kind woman gave me this bag because the Lord told her to. I was so caught off guard! It was definitely a moment of receiving from the Father! So often we get caught up in being in the giving position that when God turns it and wants us to receive, He simply wants us to always know His great love for us. I was in awe of the simple love of Jesus Christ as He put this new bag in my hand. I love the kingdom. Everything belongs to Him.
After being a part of the corporate DTS week in Kona I began recording! I don’t even know what to write about it other than I want to message of joyful obedience and sweet surrender to cover the globe! He is worth it and He is worthy and encountering Jesus’ love and salvation power will only lead you to want to take up your cross and follow Him. It is a 3-song EP album with three songs that encompass the simple revelation. ‘The sweetest surrender unto the greatest awakening,’ is the title. It has been so much fun! Chloe Brennt, Seth Yates, Kumu Vasconcellos, Christian Fox, and myself have been working as a team to get it all done! It truly has been a team full of joy and courage, lots of laugher and lots of grace.
I successfully just finished this update bright and early on a Saturday morning and now I am off to chat with my beautiful friend Sue Gray from South Africa who is in the picture above!!! Blessings!!!!!!!!!
