Returning....

It's been awhile because I left my laptop behind on accident and I just got back from my 10 day - 5 event travel stint. God moved so greatly in the services I was a part of. God rocks my face off!

First 5 days: Roanoke, VA & Rural Retreat, VA
We had a great time at the fellowship of Christian athletes regional retreat. Approx. 160 leaders and students total and the wonderful Spirit of God moved among these God seeking teens. We had several that were touched and that even professed Christ in a deeper way. Hunger on many of the faces of the students I prayed for. It was in a word AWESOME. Some great leadership help make this event well put together. I then followed that up with some friends in Rural Retreat. More on my trip to Virginia Tech memorial on another blog. It was a great 5 days in VA.

Next 5 days: St.Louis, MO and Cape Girardeau, MO
I follow up the previous event with hands down one of the most well put together confrences I have ever been invited to speak at. I met a great band there by the name of CIRCLESLIDE and they brought the house down leading us in worship as well as their concert. This tri-sectional event was well lead also by the leadership as hundreds of students flooded the altars making Jesus Christ the LORD of their lives. I have spoken to several that have had life changing encounters with the Holy Spirit during the conference. The evening service at St. Louis was powerful. We had a special, sweet move of the Holy Spirit with the Lord leading me in several word's of encouragement to people I have never met. In talking with them afterwards, the Lord showed me correctly on the topics and details. Only God can make things like that happen.

I am exhausted after a 7 hour delay at Philadelphia International but I finally arrived home with my family. I made some great friends and connections and I feel like this is the beginning of something great with the motherland state of Missouri. Thank you for those who prayed for me and my family. I never take that for granted.

Time marks us while we are marking time. Leave your mark!

I wanted to say thank you for listening to the LORD. That evening at St. Louis was the first time I was filled with the Holy Spirit. I felt like a went through a bug zapper but it was a good feeling for days. Thank you! The Lord placed on your heart to say that GOD keeps HIS promises. I have realized since then I need to trust in every situation that HE knows best, not me,my plans aren't what my mission is, my mission is what HIS will is.

Thank you & may GOD fully bless you!
