Jesus is Lord over the European Union

Only three days left till I fly out to Zurich, Switzerland, and I am becoming increasingly excited. Preparing for this trip has been almost surreal, it has flowed together so easily with provision, support, and confirmation from the Lord. For example: before I had told anyone that I was going overseas a young lady that I had met in Canada nearly two years ago wrote me a large check signing that the Lord put it on her heart to give toward my mission work. Many a friend has walked up to me and handed me money that they felt impressed to give. All of which adding up to the amount that would get me going on this journey; the Lord is so sweet, and His faithfulness, can it be emphasized enough? Not only has He given confirmation through monetary gifts, but also through an extremely supportive family (that’s you)! Who through these last few months have been rallying behind me, and supporting me and my ministry in deep intercession, people rising up with me who have a burdened heart for the dying lost. Adults spreading the word for prayer, and young people who have been seriously crying out for God to go before Tim and I in Europe and telling us what the Lord has shared with them about our trip. One young brother even last night called saying:

“I was praying for you the other night and the Lord showed me a vision of a man coming after you to attack you with violence, but as he came at you, you turned around and fought him, and won! Not only did you win, but you won with a huge victory! And what I feel like the Lord is saying through that is that the enemy is going to try to attack you big time while you are overseas, but not to worry because you are going to overcome in a mighty way, totally defeating the devil”

I believe that this trip is not only a once impacting trip for two young guys who love Jesus, but I believe that this is a picture of what the whole Body of Christ will be doing on a common basis in the soon future. That the Bride of Christ is rising up to its true calling to “Go in the all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature!” The picture of my friend Tim and I leaving to these foreign nations will be a statement of our generation’s willingness to obey Jesus’ commandments.

I leave Thursday, July 2nd and I will be flying back home August 31st between those periods of time I urge you, pray! pray! pray!

1. Pray that God pour out His Spirit to convict the lost to urgently repent from sin and that they would turn to Jesus!
2. Pray that every resistant spirit would be broken, that every hardened heart would be broken, and that argumentative mindsets would be silenced!
3. Pray that the believers that we meet in Europe would be given a burden for the lost, and a power and boldness to testify of the resurrection of Jesus.
4. Pray that Tim and I operate in holy unity, pure hearts, and that we follow after Love in all things.
5. Pray that we are obedient in all things, and that we do not become anxious for anything, knowing that God will provide our needs.
6. Pray that the Holy Spirit would testify of Jesus through us and the believers with us through signs, miracles, and situation specific wonders.
7. Pray that the Lord would give us traveling mercies.
8. Pray for the Believers in the Zurich area who I will be joining up with on their evangelism outreach to Sweden, that they would have unity, conviction, and beautiful boldness in reaching the lost.
9. That the European Church as a whole will wake up and begin to live in obedience to Jesus in holy fear (please pray that for America as well)!

Thank you so much for interceding for and with us in this mission trip. This is absolutely the most effective thing that you can do for us, and the Church at large.

Here are a few ways you can be pro-active:
-E-mail Tim and I with prayers, encouragements and updates:

-Think happy thoughts toward us (just kidding)
-Make donations through Paypal on our websites
