I know that the Lord has put a huge calling on my life and it is up to me to just be patient and walk out each day He gives me. I honestly don’t know what my life should look like, or even how to get from point A to point B, but I do know to just keep walking. I am living as Paul describes in 2 Corinthians 5:7 “For we walk by faith and not by sight.” I consider it an honor to be called and will continue walking in faith.
While I haven’t figured out the big picture, I have formulated an outline for the coming weeks and months. Next week I am headed down to Gainesville, GA to see friends of the World Race and receive prayer and support from everyone there.
I am going to meet up with some of my AWAKEN teammates and together we are going to attend the Lakeland Revival. (more to come).
After a few weeks off and some vacation time with family and friends Julie and I are going to set out on a little Luke 10 adventure in the US. We are going to speak about the World Race and all the amazing movements of God that we saw this year. Hopefully we will inspire others to chase Jesus and we want to thank churches and supporters who have helped us all year. Drop me a note if you have a church, small group, etc…that we could visit with. We would love to come and share with you!
I have shared with many of you about the Revival happening in Lakeland, FL and there are many questions surrounding what is going on down there. Below is an article posted on Seth Barnes’ blog about Lakeland. I can’t wait to get there myself and investigate the movement of God.

Your prayers are so important to me as I continue to walk in faith and discover all that God has called me to do. It has been my blessing to see so many of you and share what the Lord has been doing and I thank Him everyday for all of you.
Grace and peace.
