Training Ground

Most of you know I am living in California. I was living in Redding, CA for a few months and have now moved to permanently, until God releases, to the San Joaquin Valley (central) California. More specifically to Tulare County, which one of the poorest counties in the US. It has the highest unemployment rates in the US, one of the highest teen pregnancy rates, HIV/AIDS epidemic among youth, and several other issues. I know God has called me here to be trained and to rise up in the giftings and callings God has given me. I have started the process of joining leadership at my local church, Life Church the Movement, and have also heard the call to take up the piano/keyboard. I have been ministering to some of the youth and am pursuing a job tutoring children. I am excited about these next steps God has given me and I have peace about it. I plan to still visit Africa, but as far as going there on a more permanent basis that will be at a much later date. 

Some of my current needs are: PRAYER, PRAYER, PRAYER. I need strength, wisdom, love, endurance, confidence, patience, humility, etc... I also have need of a keyboard to start practicing on. As far as finances go, I am not sure yet as I haven't started this job yet. I believe this job will take care of most of my PERSONAL finances. I would like to be able to take youth on outings and movies and I don't think I will have that in my budget. I would love to be able to take youth to different events happening in the state that would encourage them and speak life to them. I will let you know more as I figure more things out. I would also like to be able to pour into the lives of the poor in the community as well. Many here are severely impoverished and anything would help them. I believe that this county, this valley, this state will  pour forth great love, joy, peace, and hope to MANY in the US and the nations just as they pour out all the food that literally feeds the world. Thank you so much for all of your prayers and support. This is an exciting time for me right now. 

Also, in the next couple of days I will be taking a trip back up to Redding, CA for Fri. and Sat. with some of my friends to experience more liberation. Please be praying for safe travels and God to have his way with us and that when we come back we come back in power, authority, and FREEDOM from God for this area! 

AMEN!

Blessings, love, joy, and peace,
