"Slow Down and Make Me a Priority"

This is an unusual thing to hear from the Lord when you are in full time ministry, or maybe it's not. This is the busiest I have felt in long time. Chris and I are currently staffing our Discipleship Training School at YWAM Honolulu. It has been a blast getting to know the students and working with our staff. I can not say enough about how awesome our staff are. They truly believe that God loves them and will use them in radical ways. If you spend any time in our prayer room you'll hear prayers by young people who really believe that God is all powerful and loves them and wants to use them to radically change the world. I feel very refreshed in this season. God is moving in our midst. We've seen the miraculous from physical healing to young people's eyes opening to how the Lord sees them. It's been a lot of fun.

Along with working with the DTS, I am also blessed to get to travel and teach at other YWAM bases this month. Currently I'm in Kauai teaching about how to study the Bible and get a passion for Biblical truth. The students have been very receptive and fun to work with. I'll write a longer blog about this time soon.

Next week  Ywam Honolulu's DTS & Ywam Kauai's DTS will join with Kona's schools for a corporate week at the Kona campus. I'm looking forward to seeing lots of good friends and for the opportunity to worship together.

The final trip I will go on this month is to Ensenada, Mexico to teach on the book of Hebrews in their Biblical Core Corse. I'm excited about this trip because 2 years ago I was part of a team which pioneered that school in Ensenada. It is so exciting to see how God multiples works and raises up leaders. I love seeing that school going strong.

Maybe this is why the Lord has spoken to me about slowing down and making Him a priority. He's been reminding me that it is not what I do for Him  in which my value lies but in who I am as His child that He delights.

Chris and I would really appreciate your prayers for a few areas.

* Unity and love in our marriage to continue to grow as we prepare to lead the DTS.

* Safety and grace for traveling

* That people would want to partner with us financially and follow through with that desire. Finances continue to be a monthly struggle. Also that we would gain more wisdom about this area.
