What amazing past few weeks we have had!

The DTS has finished there second week of lecture phase and what an amazing opportunity its been to poor out there hearts and really give there all to God. There are 14 students this school representing 5 different nations. The diversity is incredible. I am one of 6 staff including our school director. He has asked me to take on the role of being 2ic which is a real honorable and responsible role that I feel privileged to take on. Having knowledge and

experience comes responsibility and I am so happy that this i

s the way God is using me.

This past weekend after an awesome 5 day teaching of intercessory prayer and hearing Gods voice I had the opportunity to take the DTS guys out to this famous surf break called Raglan. So all 7 of us guys piled ourselves, 5 surfboards and wetsuits, sleeping bags, and food into the school van and we headed off to what we like to call a “Mans Trip”. We drove about 2 hours to get there and jumped straight into the 5ft+ surf and got an amazing sunset session. That night we made it over to friends house and we through together a giant pasta full of meat, cheese and garlic, all the things men love. We woke up the next morning feeling sore from the living room floor we slept on but excited to get back in the water. We surfed for a few hours then came back and made an absolute gigantic breakfast for all 10 of u

s including our friends. We made 2 dozen eggs, a pound of bacon and sausage, hash browns, toast, it was “the works”. We made a mess but it was such a success. All of us guys just being men together. After our breakfast we went out for our final surf of the weekend and it was sunny and warm for a winter day. We all went out and had the times of our lives then packed up and drove back tired as you could be but the whole time smiling. What a privilege for me, to have the opportunity to take out all the guys in the group and allow them just be men together. To admire Gods beauty, make a mess while making food and fun, to surf and laugh together. Men NEED experiences like this. I am so thankful and so honored to have the opportunity to encourage and push the importance of men seeking the Father for adventure and having men to be adventurous with. Thank You God for such an incredible weekend!!

Prayer requests,

Lately I have been thinking a lot about home, being with my family and friends. Its tough because It can distract me at times and make me feel homesick a bit. I would love your prayers for me In this area of living in the now and staying focused on the task God has given me at this season of my life.

I am currently trusting God for his provision over me financially in both airfare and staff fees. I had gotten and invitation to go spend 10 days with my school director and his family to his parents’ home in west Australia in December right after the school. I have been looking at flight prices and got an estimate for about US$1400 to go to Australia then back home to Los Angeles. I am really praying a lot into this area for it can be a stressful issue but God is an amazing and trusting God and I strongly believe in his calling for me being here.

Thank you so much for reading my latest blog and look forward to a new post being put out in a few weeks time. Blessings and love to you all.
