DC Update/Pics

Thank you so much for your prayers and support.  The DC trip was a huge win.  We got to talk to hundreds, literally hundreds of people and pray in front of the White House as well as the Capital Building.  

So excited to see what God is going to do with our nation.  "All things are possible for those who trust in Him!"

Dream

I feel like God wants to resurrect America and give her new life.  While I was there I had a dream of walking through DC and there were tombstones as far as the eye could see.  As we walked past the tombstones people were coming back to life, climbing out of their graves, shining, happy and full of life.  Let it be!

Enjoy the pictures, this would not have been possible without both your prayers and financial support.

Prayer Points

• We're in the midst of raising financial support to meet our current needs.  At this point we could really use $500 monthly in additional support. If you would like to be a part of our financial team, please email me at...

• Pray that God would continue to open doors for us to carry the cross and minister in various churches and training schools.

August Cross Update

Icon Update

Icon went really well.  For those of you who don't know ICON is our International Church Conference where we get together once every two years with our international church plants to seek God and pray.  This year was wonderful as we met in Winter Park, Colorado.  God touched Juleigh and I in a special way, it was so great to feel his presence.  Riah and Kanon had a blast in their class!

We got to carry the cross while we were in Colorado.  People stopped and talked to us and we got to pray for people.  One man even stopped, started crying handed us $50 and said Jesus is his favorite too!  We even got interviewed by a professor for a book he was writing!  So fun.

Prayer Points

• Thank you to all who gave as ICON cost $2,200 to attend.  We still need about $1,200 to pay off our trip.
• Pray that Jesus would speak to us concerning the next several trips.  Our current goal is to take about 6 trips per year.
• Riah is starting preschool this year!  Please pray that we would find the right one.

Love 

Aric, Juleigh, Nariah and Kanon
