HOUSE OR HOME?
For some of you this might be no big deal, but for us this has epic proportions! Moving from house to house to house and now finally having a place to call home is overwhelming at times. It's a little 2bd/1bth 925 sq. ft. Condo that will fit our growing family perfect. We still can't believe that we bought this place. As soon as we're done painting (whatever color we want to ... because we own this house and we can paint it whatever we want) we'll show you some pictures of the inside.
MINISTRY
We've done a little traveling this last month. In the middle of march we went to Nashville, TN to lead worship at a Pre-Call Conference. It was rad! We were inside Titan Stadium dreaming for America. At the beginning of April we went to Knoxville, TN to lead worship at a Pre-Call Conference. We had a great time with our friends preaching, praying and leading worship. We've also been helping in leadership with theCause base here in Fort Mill, SC. Whether it be preaching, teaching, leading worship or admin. stuff we're serving here as well. This last month was great. We met some great people, had some great travels and developed a heart for country music ... no ... not really. Just a heart for Tennessee.
A LITTLE FRUIT
Have you heard about the Supreme Court ruling on Wed. April 18th. There was a ruling of 5-4 to uphold the ban against partial-birth abortion. We have concentrated our prayers upon the Supreme Court, the President (1Tim. 2:2), and Abortion in the last three years. Since we've been praying we have a pro-life President, two Supreme Court Justices have been elected and they're both pro-life and this recent Supreme Court Ruling has made it illegal on the federal level to have partial birth abortions. If we didn't believe our prayers would be answered why would we pray?
CDMAYBECD
Please be praying for us. We could be recording a cd pretty soon. We feel it might be time to capture what's been going on inside of us. More than funds for the project or where to record, we're more concerned about the timing of the whole thing. Just pray that it happens in God's timing. We'll keep you updated as best as we can.
BABY TALK
Everything is going great with our little boy. Autumn is going on 7 months and doing great. Our little Mr. Katz is healthy, strong and obedient. He doesn't really give Autumn any trouble. We're not sure on a name yet so please pray for us. We want to know what the Lord is saying over this child every time we call his name.
FINANCES
We're living by faith. I had a dream over a year ago. No pictures or colors. Just a voice. it said "You're Missionary NOT Stationary. Now Go!" When I awoke the Lord spoke to me and said "Don't get a job. Go where I call you. I'll provide for you and I'll be with you. Don't be afraid". So, six months later, on the way out from California to South Carolina, we were at a conference and a man called me out of the crowd and prophesied to us without knowing any of this. He said "You are like Abraham! God is telling you to go and you will go even if you don't know where you are going. The Lord says He is your paycheck, He is your provision and He is your provider." Now walking this out is the challenging part. I'm trying to be faithful to what God spoke to me and believing that He will be faithful to what He spoke as well. If you want to support us please let us know and please pray for us. We really need your prayers. If you want to reach us our email addresses are DANIEL@JHOP.ORG or AUTUMN@JHOP.ORG.
We love you all and would love to hear a response.

A BOY OR GIRL?
What is your guess? Most of our friends and family we're saying it was a girl. Autumn was leaning that way and I had no idea. But, to our surprise, at our ultrasound we found out that ... WE'RE HAVING A BOY!!! We are so excited! So, Autumn is picking colors for the baby's room and we're thinking of boy names now. Only about 3 more months until the arrival of "little Mr. Katz".
MINISTRY
There has been some transition in the ministry of theCause lately. Autumn and I were on a leadership team with a couple other people leading the House of Prayer under Lou Engle and Chuck Mervin. The other two leaders both felt called to step away from leadership in the House of Prayer to lead in other areas of the ministry. So, naturally Lou and Chuck looked to Autumn and I to step up in leadership. We feel we both have the grace to lead more prayer meetings, worship sets, and oversee administration of the House of Prayer in a greater way. Pray for us that we can bear the responsibility of leadership. To lead is to serve.
On a different note, a few weeks ago, I got invited to preach at a high school in Charlotte. This school is similar to a continuation school. A lot of drug users, drop-outs ... just broken kids. But, this school is actually a prep school. It's a second chance for those kids who truly want one. I preached on heaven and hell for about 45 minutes. I had a quote from Leonard Ravenhill brewing in my spirit "God did not come to make bad men good, but to make dead man live". I felt unction to shed the sweet light of eternity upon their hearts. I invited those who felt anxious for their souls to come up to repent and confess Christ as their Lord and Savior before the whole school and staff. It truly was a move of God because about half of the school gave their lives to God while the other half watched in amazement. Thank you Jesus!
Autumn will be traveling at the end of March to minister in California. She's going to be teaching and leading worship at a conference in San Diego. Her focus will be the children. Imparting passion and love and giving these little ones a vision for the future is what she's looking to do.
WE'RE BUYING A HOUSE?
Yes it's true! This amazing offer just fell into our laps. We weren't looking to buy because, well, we have no money. But, the 925 sq. ft. little condo is selling for so cheap that it actually fits into our tiny budget. We'll be closing on the 21st of March! As soon as we're in we'll take pictures and put them up on the site.
SUPPORT
While our friends and family fund us at random times we still have no consistent supporters. If you have it on your heart to fund us monthly please let us know. We're trying to raise about $1000 a month. Our mortgage will be about $600 leaving a couple hundred dollars for food, gas etc. Again please email us at DanielandAutumn@JHOP.org if you would like to support us for a season. We love you all!
Greetings from South Carolina! We hope the holidays were good to everyone. Our Christmas and New Years were amazing. We flew to California for about three weeks and spent time with family and friends all over the state. We couldn't have asked for a better time. On January 8th we celebrated one year of marriage! We had an amazing day in San Diego.
MINISTRY
While in California, we ministered at Glory Mountain in San Marcos and had an amazing time. Also, we went to San Diego for the Rumble West Coast and led some worship there as well. It was a three day conference with the last day being a day of fasting and prayer from 10am to 10pm.
We're now in Fort Mill, SC again and theCall Re:Launch conference was on Thursday the 11th of January and went on through the weekend. Some of the speakers and worship leaders were; Mike Bickle, Lou Engle, James Goll, Jason Upton etc. We led worship for the conference Friday afternoon and Sunday night.
The House of Prayer is going well. The new internship has just started, so the base is filled with new people and lots of excitement. We are helping out both in the internship as well as the meetings in the evenings. We are also meeting with a core team regulary regarding new ideas and structures that will be added to the house of prayer in the future.
Ok, ok, Autumn and I were both asked to take some pictures for theCall's new look. Little did we know that we would become the poster children for theCall! It's kind of awkward to see yourself on a 15ft. banner. Check out the website theCall.com.
SETTLING IN
We moved into our condo right before we left for California. We had enough time to get our room somewhat unpacked, but the project of peeling wallpaper is taking longer than we thought. I am learning how to become quite the handyman working with power tools. We're really excited about our new home. We'll be posting pictures in just a few weeks after the mess clears up. Autumn says she'll feel at home when she's cooking a homemade Italian dinner.
We find out what the baby is in just a few weeks and we're sure you'll know about it as soon as we walk out of the doctor's office.
SUPPORT
We are still in need of consistent support. We're asking for $1500 monthly for support. Please let us know if you want to fund us via email at DANIELANDAUTUMN@JHOP.ORG We appreciate your prayers and love.
Well, TheCause (the prayer ministry that we have joined up with) has opened their arms to us. They have asked us to join their staff starting December 1st. So, we will be helping lead the Justice House Of Prayer International. We will be leading worship, prayer and teaching as well. Also, a two bedroom / two bathroom condo has opened up for us as well. We will be moving in at the end of November. We are excited yet humbled at this opportunity to serve with this ministry.
We have this blog now that we will update every few weeks or so. Also, we've changed our email addresses. They are now - DANIEL@JHOP.ORG and AUTUMN@JHOP.ORG or if you want to reach us both DANIELANDAUTUMN@JHOP.ORG

We will be posting pictures of the condo when it nears close to our move in date. As for our weekdays, we spend a great deal of time in the house of prayer, leading worship and teaching. It's very intense now that we are coming close to the November elections!
We hope you all are doing well! We love, miss and can't wait to hear from you all!!!
