This week we have Lou Engle speaking to our school. What a great and obedient man after God's heart! I remember when he spoke in our youth group in around 1996. I vaguely remembered until I spoke to him about it and then the memory of him weeping came to me as he was sharing with me how God spoke to him at that retreat so strongly.
So, how refreshing to be listening to him again. What a man of God he is. He started 'The Call' and has a huge passion for praying for this world. Praying for revival in America and throughout the nations. His heart burns with zeal and it's contagious. The things that are happening through his life are inspiring to walk closer to God...to have the encounters with God like he does is what I hunger for. He's got some great stories.
We are excited for what is to come. And that we get to be a part of it. Sometimes I can't believe that we have been chosen for this time and that we will see great things yet to come. And it will be all in the name of Jesus! Thank you Lord for what you are going to do in these nations. In America. In Canada!
And, Let me just say a great big THANKS to you who have sown in to us financially. We are so forever grateful! We are still needing to meet our goal and need about $4000 (which is overdue). Continue to pray and see if God would speak to you about this. (monthly or one time gifts)
We are also so very GRATEFUL for all your prayers that come our way! Thank you, thank you! Those are SO important...more than money. God will provide but prayers are continually needed for this little family.
We love all of you!! xoxo
On another note, the kids are doing great! The girls are enjoying the school program here and are pretty well adjusted to the busy schedule we all have. It really is non stop from 7am till after dinner. They love it though and fit in lots of play time in at the park right by our apartment.
It was Madison's birthday yesterday and we had a little party for her over the weekend on my birthday. We got a cake and had all our friends come and hang out for a BBQ. It was really nice.
Judah and Sarah (who watches him everyday) are getting along great. He really enjoys hanging out with her and is excited every morning that she comes. They seem to have a routine going on that starts with swimming every day! He'll be 2 next month! Time is flying.
Sarah seems to have adapted well to Hawaii too. She loves it here and has had lots of adventures...I'm waaay behind in that area! Hoping to catch up though. There really is SO much to do on this island. It features 11 of the 13 climate zones of the world. So, you can just imagine the amazing things to do and see here.

This was at a lady's house that was touched with our community outreach we've been doing near/at a beach that's a bit run down. So, she wanted to bless us and invited us all over for dinner to her place! There were about 200 of us there - if not more! What a blessing to all of us. And what a beautiful place she has!!
