School of the Circuit Rider -LA 2013

Our WISE school crew on the "party bus"! We drove a mini bus all the way to LA and back. It worked great, the Lord's hand of protection was on us! When we returned back to the parking lot of our base, the starter went out..but we were home! 

My Friend Mary and I during the Love Santa Ana Outreach! We went out with a couple hundred people and ministered to people all day long. One man a few of us met in the park the day before and we were able to spend a lot of time with him because we kept seeing him all over town. He went from hostile and unwilling to talk to us to protective and encouraging. 

Frances Chan sharing a message during the Love Santa Ana teaching the day before we went out. One of the most humble and godly men I have ever heard. He was on his face before God weeping and asking Him to speak only what was on His heart to speak. 

Worship together every day during Circuit Riders-we mostly met at Newsong Church -Irvine. 

Joy Dawson sharing with us. Her message has changed my life. And not even so much what she said, but rather how she talked about God, her late husband, the Fear of the Lord, the stories she told us about encounters where people gave their lives to Jesus, everything she said made me want to surrender more and more to Jesus, to hold nothing back. I was weeping when she was talking about Intercession because I realized I haven't even begun to understand what it means to pray for the lost, broken and lonely. 

Packing out the Hollywood House of Prayer. We joined them for a day of teaching and ministering on the streets...with one mission..to love the people. In a place that influences our nation so much-we got to spend time bringing the influence of the Light of life. One girl my friend Alyssa and I spoke to broke down and as I started to pray for her, she began to repeat after me and so I led her in repentance and acceptance of God's grace and love in her life. We then got to share with her the TRUTH about how God sees her- when we left she was no longer discouraged about being a mom and feeling inadequate- but rather encouraged that she could walk to through every thing-hard and good with the Father on her side. 

Some of the girls from my small group! We were split into groups of about ten and every day we preached to each other, joyfully repented together, testified, prayed and laughed together. 

I am so grateful!
