East Coast Circuit

Sammy, my ministry leader and partner, and I made a trip out to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. We felt a tug in our hearts from the Lord to make a trip to visit the community there and seek out ministry opportunities. Again, I keep writing and rewriting the intro to this blog. Again, there's nothing else, other than the fact that God is moving is ALL of America

The first week in Harrisburg, we connected with the staff and students of a Discipleship Training School, being run out of the YWAM base in Harrisburg. We were able to pour out and be poured into during this first week. The most important thing that we noticed from meeting the students of this new DTS, was that the Lord is truly raising up an entire generation. That this outpouring of His Spirit wouldn't be ushered in by one face or one name, but that an entire generation would bring in the harvest. As I met all of the students individually, I noticed that we were carrying the same message, the same heart. That the a new wave has started off of the coast of America and we were all riding it together. I met many people that I believe will run with me for a longer period of time. Praise Him.

The second week, 10 of us mobilized in a 15 passenger van, packed our bags for the week and started driving. Our first destination was Resting Place House of Prayer in New Jersey. There, we got to minister to the hearts of many and get filled up with the Holy Spirit for the upcoming trip. 

We, then, drove down to Virginia to visit Regent University. At Regent, we made contact with a person we would meet for the first time. He blessed us with an open place to minister and called a group of students together. We were able to share our vision, our heart and at Regent, 40-50 students fully surrendered all that they had and said yes to the cost of revival

Similarly, we were able to share at Liberty University in Virginia. We had an audience of a few dozen students, most of whom received prayer from us and truly caught this vision of revival. We had testimonies of healing, radical surrender and restoration at Liberty. We believe that Liberty is key in this coming revival with the influence that the university carries and with its many students.

Lastly, before driving up 10 hours back to Harrisburg, we visited Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee. There, a group on the campus gathered for us a group of about 150 to 200 students to worship and hear our message. We, once again, dropped the message that our Father has been developing in our hearts. The message of full surrender and revival culture. From this university, we also had testimonies of healing, experiencing the love of the Father, inner-healing and just the power of the Spirit in so many ways. 

The Lord is doing something in this generation. We see this coming revival and, obviously, so does the Lord. He is preparing the nets. He is harvesting the harvesters. So that, when, not if, revival breaks out, we will be ready. We will be capable of leading and discipling the 80 million, He will release. We need to be laid down lovers. We need to be all in. 

Revival is here. Let's Go.

Wide Open Doors

I wrote and rewrote multiple introductions to this blog, but they all feel a little off. But it's as simple as the fact that the Lord is good and that He is doing amazing things all over America.

In SoCal, we visited multiple colleges including all of the major universities. What we are finding on this universities is that there is always at least one. At least one of group friends, one club on campus, one ministry nearby or sometimes just one person, on fire, burning for Jesus, sold out for revival. Running with the same zeal and hunger for breakthrough on these campuses. We have connected with these clubs/ministries/friends with plans already to meet, hang out, pray and seek the Lord. At USC, UCLA, UCSD, UCI, UCR, CBU and others that I can't recall at the moment. 

As an example of the open doors; at CBU, Cal Baptist University, we held our first meeting with a group called WAKE. We got together a few days previous and sought the Lord for guidance and direction. The following Tuesday, we spent the afternoon handing out flyers, inviting student to a night of lifting worship to the Lord. We gathered about 150 students and spent 3-4 hours worshiping God. During these 3-4 hours, many students first experienced the love of the Father and many of them fully surrendered their lives to Him. We even saw a brother receive salvation on the spot. At a Baptist University. 

We have already been given the opportunity to come and speak into many of these ministries that are on these campuses. To release the message that the Lord is cultivating in this season. The message of the simple gospel, full surrender.


We also made a week-long trip to Northern California. During that week, we had the opportunity to connect with a few of the ministries in the area which were already tapping into revival. As we took part in these ministries, we were able to serve/pray for/speak into the ministry and their leaders. The Lord is releasing the same message all over America. Simple gospel, full surrender. 

We were able to serve in a ministry called One Voice, which is a ministry focused on the younger generation. Raising up students at a younger age to carry the message of revival, and fully surrender their lives to the Lord. They held a 12-hour prayer meeting, to End Rebellion & Restore Prayer. The event was powerful, gathering much youth and influence. For 12 hours, they shifted the heavens and petitioned the Lord for an outpouring of His spirit over America. We believed, together, for revival in people's hearts and in our nation. Many of the youth got filled up with the Holy Spirit and exalted the Lord with all they had. Devoting their entire lives to live out the gospel of Jesus. 

I am currently on the East Coast, working with YWAM Harrisburg to ride and set up the circuits in the universities on this side of America, just like the West Coast. We will be heading out for a week long trip to 3 different universities to stir the message of revival again. Praise.

The earth is moving, the heavens are shifting. I believe revival is already happening. A new wave is rising. 
Simple Gospel. Full Surrender.
