Days of Thunder: Cross Edition

this is not my hair believe it or not!

Hey guys, its been a little while since our last update. Let me get you up to speed on the last few months.

This summer has been full of tears, salvation, and laughter. It started by transitioning out of working with Day Elevate. After 4.5 amazing years of investing in the lives of students we felt God was leading us to focus full-time on carrying the cross. This means that we'll be staying in Waco and living on full-time support. Since we are no longer receiving a stipend from Elevate, we will need to raise support to make up for that loss (more details on how to give below). We are so excited to see Jesus change the nations by the power of His love displayed through the cross.

Summer of the Cross

Amen

At the beginning of summer I felt led by the Lord to walk with the cross 50 times. It took Me 70 days to complete and has been some of the hardest and sweetest times yet walking with the cross. If i could some it up in 2 words it would be SALVATION and TEARS! Below we have some pictures we wanted to share with you from this time.

The best part of waking up is the cross! (take that Folgers)
Just a few friends who were able to carry the cross with Aric

Jump Camp
This summer Me and Juleigh were given the wonderful privilege of speaking at Antioch's Jump Camp, a summer camp for the junior high group. We were so touched by their openness to God and their response to the cross and Juleigh's message. There was lots of laughter and tears


Hands down one of the most fun things we've gotten to do!
San Diego

I just got back last week from hanging out with All People's Church in San Diego, California. I got the wonderful opportunity to speak in the training schools, with 2 college services, and carry the cross around town and on the campus.

God is doing powerful things, the church is just on fire with His presence. People were so open to the love of God and the message of the cross. We saw salvations, people cried, we got to share the Gospel like crazy, it was awesome to get to be a small part of what God is doing there.


Blasting San Diego State with Jesus!


The college ministry is on fire at All People's Church


Zero gravity with the cross!
