January, February & We're Moving!
January
Kansas City-
Over the new year we stayed in Kansas City with some friends. The annual OneThing conference was amazing hosting a crowd of about 20,000. On New years eve we had a Call event. Spending the whole day fasting and praying, we were contending for breakthrough in our nation.
During the first week of January the Luke18 Project was launched. It was perfect timing for us and we were able to support our friends in their vision. They asked us to lead worship a few times, so we did. The vision is to simply raise up leaders to plant houses of prayer all across the world. All three conferences were amazing in their own ways. Both our hearts were changed and provoked to love Jesus in a more intentional way.
Michigan-
We drove a really long way. All the way from South Carolina to central Michigan. In the middle of January, we were invited to lead worship at a conference with Steve Fry and Stacy Campbell. Its focus was bringing together the generations. We now have some new friends up there. The highlight was the first night. We worshiped late into the night after the message and God came and revealed his bridegroom heart to us all. It was our first time ever going to Michigan and it was amazing! Lots of snow and sub zero temperatures.
February
Florida-
At the beginning of the month we went down to Orlando, Florida for a Call gathering. The Bound4LIFE team invited us to stay with them down there so we went along. More fasting and more prayer. More tears and more praise. TheCall Florida was awesome. The section that struck my heart the most was the message of wholehearted devotion to Jesus. No matter how many times I hear the clarion call to love God with all my heart, soul, mind and strength it always sounds fresh.
The next two days were spent at Universal Studios Florida courtesy of Bound4LIFE. Thank you so much Matt and Kim! You guys are awesome!!! We were really excited because Autumn had never been there before. Our time there was so much fun. The Hulk ride and Spiderman were the best ... we took a consensus.
WE RECORDED & FREE SONG FOR YOU!
We were asked to record the old Baptist hymn "What Can Wash Away My Sins". We arranged it ourselves and put it in a minor key and it changed the whole feel of the song from praise to prayer. Gat3 Studios is where it all went down. They are awesome and we highly recommend that everyone go and record there. Bound4LIFE paid for the recording and they are giving it away for FREE in hopes that people would sing it, pray it, talk about it and give it away as well. It's all about the blood of Jesus! It's our only hope for this nation. Please download this song from their website at Bound4LIFE.com and tell everyone you know about it, that mercy would be given to this nation.
THE LONG AWAITED MOVE ...
We've been trying to sell our house and get out to Kansas City since November and it looks like it's finally going to happen. Our closing date is at the end of the month so we'll be in Kansas City in no time. There has never been so much resistance in both of our lives on one concentrated issue. The devil hates us and the enemy is real, but glory to God who opens the door that no man can shut! See you in Missouri ...
PRAYER MISSIONARIES
Our hearts desire is to be in the house of the Lord all the days of our lives, never ceasing to give Him praise and always crying out for the nations. We are trying to raise just $2,000 a month to live off from monthly support. We aren't looking for luxurious lifestyle, just enough to pay the bills and eat. If you could support us at all financially please let us know. We currently have about $400 monthly support. Please pray and consider supporting a family of missionaries. Thanks
Please check out our new photos and don't forget to download the song. Samuel is doing great at 8 months old. He rolls everywhere when he's on the floor and when he is being held he loves to bounce ... and he grabs everything. We'd love to hear from you so please email us. Daniel@Jhop.org or Autumn@Jhop.org.
