Partner with Him!

Thousands of years ago, the prophet Isaiah saw a vision of a worldwide worship movement in the last days whose extent reached into the remotest and most difficult-to-reach places (Isaiah 42:10-13). He saw the islands of the earth lifting up their voice in song to the Lord. He saw the coastal regions declaring the name and glory of God to the nations. He witnessed the dry desert places and nomadic peoples exulting in their Lord. He caught a glimpse of the Arabian peninsula singing a new song to Jesus. Even the tops of the mountains (think: Nepal and Tibet) would shout to God and declare His praise throughout the earth.

But how will this happen? How will Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, and pagan peoples turn to the one true and living God and lift their voices in worship to our Lord Jesus Christ?

We believe that the day of western missionaries is not over with. Over 100 years ago, God raised up the Student Volunteer Movement out of the West where 20,000 young adults abandoned their pursuit of the so-called “American Dream” and were ignited to proclaim the Gospel in foreign lands and give themselves to “the evangelization of the world in this generation.” Today, God is again raising up the best and the brightest in this generation to reach the hardest and darkest places so that the Lamb who was slain may receive the reward of His suffering.

To that end, the Antioch Center for Training and Sending (ACTS) is a training program designed to equip a new generation of cross-cultural intercessory missionaries to plant worship-based prayer furnaces in the hardest and darkest places of the earth. ACTS is a convergence of prayer and missions equipping a new generation to finish the task of world evangelization, disciple the nations, and pray back the King.

A lot of you know me, and you know I have always been a person of faith. I have wanted so much to move God's heart, even at a young age. This is why I sing. This is why I try. I look back and I can clearly see that little girl from a small village in Alaska crying out to worship her Jesus. I truly believed that He was MY Jesus. I still believe it. I thank Jesus for putting this desire in my heart. I know this was all for his glory, he was preparing me for the work that was set before me. I have joy in knowing that He is calling me to the nations. He is putting me in a place where I am learning to seek him out for every need. During this season of my life at ACTS he is providing. And I trust Him for all of my needs. But now I know that he is grooming me to walk in the ways of his kingdom. And in this kingdom we are interdependent.

I am raising 2,500.00 for my plain ticket and vaccinations for my mission trip to Thailand. I need these funds by tomorrow. I know this is so last minute. And they are willing to work with me until the end of the month.

I desire to worship God where he is recieving none. I know he is worthy of it.

I am going to Thailand to build a house of prayer, do door to door evangelism, and to see that He recieves the Glory due his name.

I want to invite you to be a part of it. I want to invite you to see souls brought into the kingdom and minds renewed and revelation spread to hill tribes in Thailand. I want to thank you all for your love. I want to thank you for your support in the past. I only ask that you do what you feel lead to do, even if that's $10 or $100.

Thank you.
