Week 6

Hello everyone!!!
Another amazing week! God is so faithful to our hearts!!
We started out the week with an opportunity to help out with a promotional screening of Nefarious, a very gripping documentary on modern sex slavery, put on by Exodus Cry which is a decentralized community of intercessors and abolitionists committed to ending Modern Day Slavery. After seeing this how can we not be grieved of soul that the children of the world are being sold for sex... http://nefariousdocumentary.com/
This week has been sobering in a way as so many different people we have met from all over have really been bringing this reality into the light. I think God is trying to get our attention.
We went to a brunch the following morning after the documentary to meet a lady who is a key contact for being involved in bringing awareness to people. What started out as brunch and hearing testimonies turned into an amazing time of prayer and ministry to the Lord and each other. The power and presence of God fell so heavy in that place where manifestations of the Spirit were evident... Pretty sure we were all drunk in the Spirit. There was so much laughter that erupted that we couldn't stop. I am pretty sure we all were in need of God's presence in that way. It was a wild and amazing time!! :)

We are still going to Santa Ana and ministering to the homeless, inviting more people to come with us that will continue on with Maribelle. Our hopes is that this will be an ongoing ministry of people coming along side her in her vision of bringing hope to these people.

This week has been an incredible week with the kids at Bishop Manor. There was a local church whose kids Sunday School raised money to put on a VBS for our kids. On the last day of the VBS there was a huge blow up slide and a huge blow up slip and slide and pool time. Our kids heard Jesus' name everyday.... "Jump! shout! give a high five! Jesus is alive... Jesus is ALIVE!!!" These Jesus songs played all week long!! These songs are the kind that stick if you know what I mean? Really good for the kids to remember. They were so blessed. Everyone had ear to ear smiles. We all had fun. Our inner kid came out. Normally we interact with around 30 kids on a given day, and on the the last day there were close to 100 kids jumping and screaming and getting wet. It was a blast!!!

Thank you for all your support and prayers!!! Please continue to pray for us as we are learning to be flexible. Pray also for wisdom and clarity as the Lord shows us what and where to go next.
Much Love!!!
