August Update



First of all thank you so much for your faithful partnership. Each month is bringing me closer to fully realizing my desire to be full-time at the House of Prayer. This summer has been a whirlwind of activity. First I helped with CRI training in Canby OR, two weeks later we had the Awakening Teen Intensive at IHOP NW. We had over 30 teens for five days of intensive teaching, worship, outreach and games. It was a joy to see so many teenagers eager to worship Jesus. One night the worship went well beyond midnight.  We will be starting a youth meetings on Thursday nights for 12-19 year olds in September were we will have a teaching time and intercession. I am really excited to see what the Lord will do during these times as we equip and train young people in the knowledge of God and the necessity of encounter and intersession.
 We have also had Outreach Weekends throughout the summer were Tyler Johnson the co-founder of The Dead Raising Team (DRT) in Shelton, WA. His DRT has 8 confirmed raisings from the dead!  Their hearts beat to see others come into their destiny in the realms of power and intimacy with Jesus. During these weekends we focus on going out into the community, praying and serving people.  On the 28th of July we had our first free car wash in our parking lot. It was a huge success and a lot of fun. We had music playing and served hotdogs, hamburgers and soda for free. As cars came and we talked to people and offered to pray for them, it was great to see God touch hearts and show his love for people. It was cool too when people would ask, ‘what is the catch?’ or ‘how much is the donation?’ at which we said ‘no catch, no donation, did you want a hotdog to go with that car wash?’ We will be doing another free car wash on 25th of August.
Currently I have dusted my guitar off and started to learn how to play. Right now I am enjoying making music and finding it relaxing.  In the future I hope to help out with worship teams at the house of prayer.
