PRAYER MISSIONARIES
At the age of 24 and 25 it seems kind of weird to say "I know what I want to do with my life", but to be honest ... we do. We have committed our lives, as prayer missionaries, to stand in the gap as intercessors for men and also to minister to God as priests. Most people think it's honorable to pray for people. Some think it's noble to pray to God. Men have written books on prayer and many pastors and leaders will agree with sermons on prayer. But few will actually pray. The bible clearly speaks about living our lives out of a place of prayer; a must for all Christians. But, Autumn and I are called by God to be priests as a vocation (not everyone is called to this). Just as in the days of old, as the Levites ministered to God night and day, 24/7, we are called to do the same. This is what's going on in Kansas City with the International House Of Prayer (IHOP). For the last 8 and 1/2 years the IHOP Missions Base has been praying night and day, 24/7 nonstop.
GETTING CONNECTED
We have met with a handful of leaders here at the IHOP Missions Base these past few weeks and we're excited that we're getting plugged in. We are going to be coming on staff as full-time worship leaders and intercessors, giving ourselves to 40+ hours a week of prayer and worship leading.
We are also going to be involved with The Luke18 Project, TheCall and IHOP Student Ministries. We believe in these ministries, and their leaders and we're excited to be a part.
If you would like to support us as prayer missionaries please let us know. We currently have $300 support raised monthly and our goal is $2,000. It's overwhelming at times to believe this could actually happen, but we know this is what God has called us to. Please pray about supporting us on a monthly basis as missionaries. We need you.
For Jesus,
Daniel, Autumn & 1 year old Samuel

Hello everyone! We have officially moved to Kansas City, Missouri. Life has been crazy these past couple of months with the move, but we wanted to let you know how we've been. In the future we hope to update our blog every few weeks instead of every couple months. We're sorry if it's seemed like we dropped of the face of the earth ...
WE OWN A HOME IN MISSOURI
April 1st we moved into our three bedroom two bathroom home. After looking at literally hundreds of houses for months we somehow found one. It's been completely remodeled and we feel humbled and undeserving of such a beautiful home. Not only did we get an amazing deal, but it's everything we wanted in a house. Samuel has his own room with lots of toys and his little clothes are on little hangers. God is so faithful ... even to my little wayward heart. Check out the pictures.
CHEESECAKE!
We didn't want to jump into ministry until we got settled in our home
and got our life together so Daniel got a job. He's a server at The
Cheesecake Factory. It was the Lord who opened the door because he just
walked in and got the job while they see 1000 applications a week.
OUR HOUSE IS PUT TOGETHER ... NOW WHAT?
Pretty much the whole month of April we were putting together our house. From painting and decorating to unpacking and taking care of Samuel we had our hands full. At the end of April we had both our families come out and see us and our life out in the Midwest. We were super busy but it was so much fun.
We are now feeling ready to enter into ministry and get involved with TheCall and IHOP. We're going to meet with some leaders pretty soon and we will get a better idea of how we will fit and what we will be doing out here.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or just want to say hi. If you would like to support us financially you can send checks to 7314 Harry S. Truman Dr. Grandview, MO 64030. You can also email us at DanielandAutumn@Jhop.org. We miss you, love you and hope to see you soon!

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.
