Sept./Oct. 2002  







Dear Friends, Family and Church Family:

HELLO again!!! Life in Germany remains such a blessing! Thank you for your continuing prayer and financial support. Without your help I could not successfully fulfill the will of God for my life.

In my last newsletter I mentioned that 13 kids had given their lives to Jesus. Since then, our heartbeat in the Kinderhaus has been to teach the kids to keep the fire of God burning. It is so awesome to see them growing in the Lord. They are also realizing how cool it is to pray and to be prayed for.

Recently I had the opportunity to preach in one of the youth services here at the CJO. I conveyed the most important thing God has revealed to my heart: knowing how to worship and Who you are worshipping. It is evident that if I had turned to anything else but God, I would not be where I am today. Daniel 11:32b: "the people who know their God will be strong and do exploits." At the end of the service, we spent time in worship and rested in the presence of God as He touched our hearts. On September 22nd, for the first time in the history of Oranienburg, the government allowed us to have an open air praise and worship service. Even in the midst of rain, around 200 people gathered together to offer up pure praise/worship and prayer to God openly. During this time we specifically prayed for this city and Germany to be reached for God. Also it was the first time that all of the believers in this area were joined in one place. We are really believing for God to come and move in this town like never before. I was asked to lead the worship section of the music. We sang in German and English. All glory and honor was brought to God! For many it was the first time they had experienced charismatic worship. This is a time of new beginnings in many ways! Also this same weekend I attended the �Berlin Worship Weekend` with Matt Redman and other worship leaders from Germany and the U.K. We gathered to worship God and prayed for Him to move across Europe. It was such a powerful time and so refreshing to worship God with many other Christians from Germany and other parts of the world. One of the main themes was the desire to be the dreamers of God�s dreams and fulfill them. Their vision is for stadium gatherings summoning the youth all across Europe to worship Jesus Christ, the Champion of this world. This weekend was filled with so much prayer, praise/worship and the prophetic. It was a very strategic time for all of Europe.

Most of my days center around prayer for the Kinderhaus and team. The desire of my heart is to stay in tune with God so I can pray in the right direction. Our main prayer for the team is for unity and drawing closer to God daily. We desire to see great miracles and a constant increase in the ministry here. Following are the names of the workers in the Kinderhaus: Andres, Doreen, Annika, Naden, Sven, Denny, Galee, Uta, Sandra, and me. If God speaks anything to your heart about me or the team feel free to email me.

Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to help you also fulfill the heart beat of your life. You remain in my prayers. May the blessings of God be upon your life.
"May our lives be like a love song to the heart of God!"
LOVE GOD, LOVE PEOPLE
