JUnE & JulY
HELLO HELLO EVERYONE! We hope you're all doing well. Obviously we're doing amazing out here in Fort Mill with the arrival of Samuel. We want to be as faithful with this update as we possibly can. So lets take advantage of technology ... shall we?
WEIGHING IN AT ... 6 lb. 0 oz. ... "SAMUEL ... JOHN ... KATZ!"
He's here! He's here! Autumn woke up at 5am with contractions that seemed "a little different". After four hours at home we called our Midwife and she told us to come in. To our surprise we heard the words "Well, You better get to the hospital right now ... YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A BABY TODAY! ... You're six centimeters dilated!" We got to the hospital at 11:00am ... and four hours later, at 3:09pm, Samuel was born! It was the birth from heaven. Autumn didn't shed one tear, didn't need drugs and barely raised her voice. And Samuel was born with no problems ... perfectly healthy! :)
Now he's three weeks old and we're all doing great! WE STILL CAN'T BELIEVE WE HAVE A BABY! AHH!!!
40 DAYS OF PRAYER AND FASTING
Leading up to theCall on 7/7/07 we were involved with a 40 day prayer strike. theCall isn't just about a "one day event". It's about a lifestyle. We had an amazing time leading worship and prayer sets. Sometimes six a week.
7/7/07 theCall NASHVILLE
Over 70,000 people gathered to practically fill Titan Stadium in Nashville, TN. We hosted a solemn assembly with a day of prayer and fasting. From 10am to 10pm, in 93 degree Nashville heat, tens of thousands of people were repenting, worshiping and praying for Jesus to come to America once again. It was amazing!!! No bands or speakers were announced preceding theCall and it was trumpeted as "It's a fast not a festival". We were overwhelmed to see how many came not for a man or a band, but for God and God alone.
BACK TO CALIFORNIA!
When we flew back from California during May we were put on another flight and they gave us two free round trip tickets to use anywhere in the States. So praise God, we're flying back to California for free! We'll be there doing ministry and seeing family for a while.
WANT TO HEAR OUR SONG?
The Lord graciously hooked us up and we have recorded a song that Autumn wrote. It's called "Sound of Rain" and you can listen to and purchase it at www.myspace.com/danielandautumn. You can also listen to it here on the right. It's in the audio category. Click the pink icon. Tell us what you think.
LIVING BY FAITH
Autumn and I are completely living by faith. We believe these next couple of months are going to be the most challenging, yet by far the most rewarding. Why? Well, they have to be! God has to come through! We have no plan B and no second options. The Lord told us to live by faith very clear and we are trying to be obedient. If you would like to support us financially please let us know.
THANK YOU!
We love you all so much! Thank you for your prayers and support from the beginning to the end of this pregnancy. We know it was a great experience only because of your prayers. We hope to see some of you in California in just a few short days! If you want to get a hold of us you can email us at daniel@JHOP.org or autumn@JHOP.org.
We love you!
