Don't quit now

I'm finding that obedience is a new lesson we can learn everyday.  Simple obedience.  God has asked His children to do some pretty outrageous things.  Its obvious to see while reading the old testament.  Its always the things we don't want to do that seem just as hard to obey even more than the outrageous requests.  I'm also finding that warfare, worship and obedience all tie in together.  Lately when I look warfare right in the eyes, I immediately go to worship mode.  Which leads to peace, which leads to revelation.  In the midst of the storm, we always ask, 'Why God, why?'.  Then after we stop freaking out and just worship Him, the storm will pass and then we will get a revelation of why we are going through such trials.  The revelation is if we didn't go through storms, trials and life; we wouldn't seek God.  If everything was hunky-dory, we would just live our lives.  Our relationship with God would constantly be stagnant and we would only go to Him in a time of need.
As time draws near to the end of lecture phase and the beginning of outreach phase, I find the enemy is not happy about what is about to happen when the Fire and Fragrance teams invade the nations.  He has been hitting our whole school with all kinds of distractions, sicknesses and nonsense.

Team Amsterdam leaves in two weeks on March 28th.  Please be praying for us and for Amsterdam.  Pray for more unity in our team and that the hearts of the people in Amsterdam would be open to receive the Gospel.  Your prayer and support is much needed and much appreciated!!

I am still raising financial support for the two months I will be in Amsterdam if you feel led to give.  This is how you can partner with me:
