MAYbe the busiest month ever
Hello everyone! We hope you are doing well. Everything is going great out here in Fort Mill, SC. Before we get into everything we just want to reiterate that our hearts are truly to stay connected with you as much as possible. And this little blog is just another way that we can make that happen. So, with that said ... let's begin ...
BABY IN A WEEK?
Yes, it's true! At our last Dr. appointment they told us that if Autumn goes into labor next week they wouldn't stop it. So, we've packed a suitcase, washed his little clothes, and set up his crib. Now we're just praying that he comes soon. If it's possible want to make it out to my brother's wedding on July 20th. So please pray with us.
GEARING UP FOR theCall
The primary focus of our whole ministry base right now is mobilizing and praying for theCall in Nashville, TN. We've rented out LP field, home of the Tennessee Titans (football team), for 7/7/07. That's less than a month away! The stadium holds 100 thousand people and we're believing God to fill it. This massive gathering in Nashville is a call to the entire nation to fast and pray and cry out to God to turn the heart of America back to Himself. There will be no fees and nothing being sold. Just 100 thousand people worshiping, repenting, fasting and calling on God.
MINISTRY & TRAVELS
Greensboro, NC
We started out this month by helping out with a High School camp up in Greensboro, NC. I preached and Autumn led worship one of the nights. I gave my testimony of being delivered from drug addiction. Rarely felt the presence of God come in such a manner to set the bound free and the hurting healed. 90% of the kids were crying, repenting and praying ... and most of these kids aren't even Christians. Four kids gave their lives to Jesus. Some other highlights were a 100 ft. water slide, campfires, hanging out with the kids and capture the flag :).
Georgia
We can officially say that we've been to "the deep south". Autumn and I took a team down to Georgia and led worship the whole weekend for a preCall conference. On Sunday morning I preached at a church in Waycross, GA.
M.L.K. Jr.
On our way back up to South Carolina we stopped in Atlanta and visited the Martin Luther King Jr. district. Amazed at just one man's life. We prayed that God would do the same with us in His grace. Praise God for Martin ... He freed his people WORLDWIDE!
California
In the middle of May we traveled to California for two weddings. They were so unique in their own ways. Congratulations Ryan & Amy, Mike & Katie! While in Visalia, CA, Radiant Church had a 17 hour worship and prayer gathering from 7pm to 12 in the afternoon the next day. Autumn and I led a two hour set. I think i got about one hour of sleep.
Charlotte
Visited Trinity Prep. again. We led some worship and spoke to the kids.
theCall Simulcast
Autumn and I led worship for a conference/simulcast. More than six churches nationwide were involved and GodTV, TBN and other networks broadcast the event live, and will continue to broadcast the event until 7/7/07. We played a song that Autumn had written called "Sound of Rain". GodTV alone has over 30 million viewers! It was a little overwhelming to say the least. We'll let you know when it will be played again and how you can watch it.
theCause Conference
We were both asked to speak at a conference at the end of May. We had a great time with our friends.
West Virgina
We just got back from Bluefield, WV. Autumn and I took a team up there and led worship for a preCall conference. Four times in one weekend is pretty good for a pregnant mommy! Sunday evening I preached. Everything went great! We love the people of bluefield!
LIVING BY FAITH
We're still living by faith. Obedience is what we long for and we're just trying to obey what He has called us to do. Sometimes I try to reason my way out of what He has set before us, but when I sit before Him, He still calls us to live by faith. If you'd like to support us please let us know. You can reach us at Daniel@Jhop.org or Autumn@Jhop.org.
We love you all!!!
