On May 31, through June 1, we had 28 hours of nonstop worshipping the Lord, and interceding for the nations of the world!   We gathered 16 worship teams and/or worship leaders, as well as prayer leaders, artists & dancers, to stand in the gap for regions, nations, or topics near to their hearts.  Each worship leader was asked to choose a place, or topic to focus on.  Among the choices made, were: Israel; San Diego; Northern nations of Europe; Syria; youth in Israel & Russia; the United States and issues of human trafficking, as well as governmental & societal issues in our country; Himalayan regions of the world; Islander nations; Cambodia; African continent; China; Thailand; and women in the Middle East.  The outpouring of the presence of the Lord in this endeavor, was truly amazing.  The accomplishments for His Kingdom, may never be known until we get to heaven.  But wow, what a privilege and honor, to serve the Lord in this way!  We were able to livestream the event to many nations around the world, having people as far away as Singapore & the Philippines, to join us. [Read complete update here].

Also we were able to record the closing worship session.  You can watch that archived video on our VOB Stream page.

Calling all Voices of the Bride…

We need your help this month, from our 146th newsletter.  Yes!  146th, I counted!  We have each and every newsletter in a special binder, safely locked away.  This is a very special journal of our life in ministry together, since the day we packed up our home in North Carolina, in January of 1996.  The “our life” in ministry, includes you!  We have always been so grateful for your partnership, as you have walked each step of the way with us.  From our travels on the road, through many trips abroad, salaried ministry positions, part time missionary work, to now full time missionary work, it has been a colorful journey.

This may sound like a tee up for another change in ministry on the horizon.  In fact, it is just the opposite.  We have never been more sure about what the Lord has given us to do here, in these days.

Serving the needs of the poor in Mexico is of one of the highest honors.  It is a mutual blessing that works both ways. Working with some of the most humble brothers and sisters in Tijuana, has truly enriched our lives.

Our ongoing gatherings of Worship and Intercession for the Lord, on behalf of the NATIONS, has been gaining momentum and steering on course.  It is a privilege to stand in the gap for brothers, sisters, and people groups around the world, fighting the good fight of faith. Continue reading →
