Brief Update: Outreach Has Begun

My apologies for the lack of updates lately, but we have been on the go and without Internet for the past week and a half. Two weeks ago we left Denver and drove to Orange County, California where all of the YWAM Denver staff and students met up with a large group of students and staff from the Kona, Hawaii YWAM base. We gathered with the purpose of hitting the streets of the OC and sharing the gospel. YWAM has been praying for a revival to sweep across our nation and our week and a half of intense evangelism and worship in California were the beginnings of this revival.
Each day we met for worship, fellowship and intercession, then went out for ministry during the afternoon. Each night we held meetings in a big tent outside the Hilton hotel where people accepted Christ, were healed of physical ailments, were freed from addictions and depression, and found the joy of peace of God through prayer and worship. The presence of the Holy Spirit was so powerful and evident in that tent every night and God used it to start shifting the spiritual climate of that area.
Outreach in the OC was good preparation for our Around the World outreach, because we got to wet our feet and be encouraged by God's faithfulness. We are currently in Veracruz, Mexico. We arrived late Saturday night and had our first day of ministry yesterday. We went to a school and gauge English, did skits and shared about our cultures with the students. The students were very sweet and we had fun spending time with them. We will be doing ministry in the parks here and at the hospital as well. On Monday we leave Mexico and head off to Hong Kong, so time is going to start flying by soon.
Pray for the power and effectiveness of our ministry and safe travels!
