Falling for Jesus

Thank you so much for walking with us. The last several months have been a blast! Here are some pics and updates on the adventures God has taken us on since out last post. We appreciate all your prayers, love, and support, we couldn't do this without you guys.

Detroit/Ann Arbor

My time in Michigan was so sweet, the Antioch church that I was working with is on fire for Jesus and their training school is amazing. We carried the cross through the streets of Ann Arbor and Detroit. I was blown away by how open the people were. Once again I'm reminded, that looks can be deceiving, Jesus is on the move.

Dominican Republic pt II

That's right, I headed back to the DR (Dominican Republic) this summer, but this time with my family. We were there for 27 days, partnering with ICM (Iglesia Comunidad Multicultural, a sister church of Antioch's), and some US Antioch churches who had sent teams to the DR as well. It was a really powerful time, a lot of people gave their lives to Jesus and I even got to be on 5 different news channels, sharing the love of Christ. On longer trips like these, I am reminded of the reality of the cross, what Jesus went through for us. There is no place He wouldn't go.

Los Angeles

While in California we visited Fullerton, LA, Venice Beach, and Hollywood. My time in the City of Angels was intense! In downtown LA we saw Jesus move on the streets, people cried, we cried, we got to pray for people and share the love of Jesus. At Venice Beach the gloves were off to say the least, we were walking through crowds of thousands, it was straight rough, lots of people were really angry, yelling and saying things their mother taught them not to say. In the midst of all the persecution, there were still open people that were hurting and needing a touch from Jesus that we got to pray for and share Jesus' love with, we just had to keeps our eyes open.

Utah

Utah was such a great trip. We got to walk all through Salt Lake City, share the gospel, pray for people, and lift the cross up over the entire city. One sweet story, a couple saw me carrying the cross, stopped their car to take pictures, and I  asked if I could pray for them. When I started praying, the woman began to cry, really hard. After I was done praying, she said she had seen me and they had driven back to talk to me. She said a couple days before, her ex-husband had passed away. The night he passed away, she couldn't sleep. She could only hear his voice, saying "It's time to get right with Jesus." As she told me this, she began to cry. She said, "I love Jesus, and I believe He's real."
People are hungry and searching for something real, I'm so honored that I get to be a part of showing people what Jesus is like. Thank you so much for partnering with me, in searching and reaching the lost with the Love of Jesus.

Follow the Cross, Spring edition

Hey guys, first of all we want to say "We love you!"and we hope you enjoy our pics. These are some from our last few trips. We've been to Kansas, Dallas, Houston, Bryan-College Station, Colorado (twice), and Florida (twice). I have had the opportunity to speak a lot in churches and training schools over the last few months, and Juliegh's also been able to travel, lead worship and speak. All this has been an amazing blessing, God is on the move, and we are so excited to get to be a small part of it. The last season has been full of people coming to the cross, crying, repenting, and worshiping God. I can never say it enough, but Thank You for all your prayers, and your support. You guys are really with us every step of the way. May the Love of God fall on us this next season.

Awaken Miami (mission trip with the Orlando church)

Our whole family got to go and be apart of a mission trip with Antioch Orlando to Miami. We carried the cross, did dramas, music, and dance, we had a blast! One sweet story, while we were on campus, a student saw the cross, started crying and ran up to one of the girls on our team. She said she had woke up and wondered if God loved her and would ever forgive her. She said when she saw the cross, she felt the love of God deep in her heart. She wanted to know who we were, and then she said "I want you to know, today will forever be the day, that I know God loves me." Isn't God great?! He is always longing to show us how much He loves us!

Walking with the Cross in Fort Collins, Colorado (Yeah, Snow!)

Carrying the cross downtown in Lawrence, Kansas

Our whole family went together to Lawrence, Kansas where we got to speak at the church and their training schools. It was a really powerful time. We got to share the Love of God, people cried, and we also got to connect with old friends.

Cool pic, walking in Waco

Thank you for supporting our family!

The last few months have been full of God's favor. He's been opening doors and giving us new opportunities to reach others with the message of the cross. We also have some exciting news! We have been asked to be part of a summer team that will minister to the Syrian refugees in Athens, Greece. During this time Juliegh and I will be working with the refugees in Athens as well as carrying the cross. We will also get to travel with the cross to some of the other countries in Europe that are working with the refugees as well. It should be an amazing time. We will send out another update soon with more details on how to be a part of this next great adventure with us. So keep an eye out!

We love you guys, we couldn't do this without you.
Blessings and Love,

Aric, Juliegh, Riah, and Kanon
