The Mother Land (sort of)

I got back from Croatia last night around 2AM after about 24 hours of travel!

Sorry I didn’t blog in Croatia, I didn’t take my computer, and we there really wasn’t much time for the internet anyway.  So I will do my best to catch you up not that I’m back.

The trip was AMAZING.  One of the best mission trips I have ever been on.  We saw God do so many things.  He showered His love on the Croatian people and let us, his kids, be a part of it.  What a blessing.

We worked with churches, youth groups, as well as did street evangelism.

There were many salvations, miracles, and healings.  I saw God bring restoration to so many people on this trip.  It was so amazing to see countenances restored, and people get a touch from the Father.  There was a visible difference with so many.  You could see the heaviness lift and joy come in as our team ministered.

The team was so great.  We had a unity that could only be described as supernatural.  We loved and honored each other at every opportunity.  What a privilege to serve alongside this team.  We laughed so hard and truly enjoyed one another’s company.  What a blessing!!  I am grateful for the new friendships I made on this trip.

I also got to visit a house of prayer, one of my favorite things to do when I travel.  It was group of powerful people declaring the kingdom of God over their nation.  There was such an open heaven over this place, and you could feel the sweet presence of God in an old barn turned into a prayer room.  We prayed, encouraged, and refreshed them as well as did some prophetic acts.

I will put up pictures asap!

Thank you so much for your prayers, encouragement, and support!!!

a little reminder from the good Book…

Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest secure,

because you will not abandon me to the grave,

nor will you let your Holy One see decay.

You have made known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

Psalm 16:9-11

CROATIA, HERE WE COME!

I am going to Croatia a week from Thursday.  I am getting excited!  I have the “I’ve gotta get to another country” itch for sure.  It’s been almost a year since I’ve left the homeland, and I can feel it in my bones.  I have been so blessed by the training I am in now, and can’t wait to bless the nations with what God has blessed me with.  My team is incredible, and I’m excited to get to know them better.

My prayer is that I will bring hope and joy into this place just by being there.   I want to be able to shift atmospheres simply through the presence of God in me.  The Lord led me to this verse the other day and I think it’s for this trip.

“As they pass through the Valley of Baca,

they make it a place of springs;

the autumn rains also cover it with pools.”

Psalm 84:6

The valley of Baca was a place of weeping, but when David and his worshippers past through on their way to Jerusalem it became a fertile land.

Will you pray for me and my team as we bring the refreshing presence of God into this once war-torn land?

Please pray for:

protection

favor-divine appointments

intercession that leads us to work in partnership with the Father’s heart

insane team unity (that they will know we are HIS by our love)

salvation, signs, and wonders

encounters with the LOVE of the Father

Thanks so much!
