When a man can look himself in the mirror and believe that God has put dreams within his heart that he cannot do on his own is when I believe God starts to unlock His power. I believe that God has placed dreams within each man and woman that can only take faith to get to. That faith will mean that you have to step out and walk on water; you have to trust that He will hold you. Faith really isn’t faith until you can’t do it.

Erin and I have dreams within us that we cannot comprehend. We have dreams about millions coming to the cross, sharing Jesus with entire African nations, caring for and feeding millions of orphans and helping to lead a generation to cry out for the glory of the Lord to cover the entire earth.   

We can’t explain these dreams and sometimes get intimidated by the mere thought of them. But why not, why would we not want these things? Why would we allow doubt, financial hurdles or lack of faith to get in our way? 

As we take one day at a time we have seen that God wants to bless us. He wants us to embrace the foundation that we need to be able to walk into these dreams that He has placed within our hearts. We have seen this is why we have to embrace the scripture “When a man has taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war or be charged with any business; he shall be free at home one year, and bring happiness to his wife whom he has taken.” Deuteronomy 24:5. 

We believe that this first year is so foundational to our success in marriage that we are going to put ourselves in the best possible environment to do so. We both believe that the environment for that success is Colorado Springs. 

Recently the Black Family led by Gary Black returned from Swaziland after 14 months. They are a family of eight that endured the struggles of Africa and embraced what God wanted to do through them while being there. Because of there sacrifice as a family and as a couple, thousands are being touched not only in a spiritual sense but in a physical sense. They have opened up the Nsoko project which cares for over three hundred children. 

They have returned to the states a changed family, believing in apostolic Family. They believe that the family is a unit and moves together as a unit. They have embraced family and marriage in ways that we have not seen before. We believe that God has given them an anointing for this generation, to embrace, to care for and to pour into. We believe that this is where we want to sit and rest as we see God perform his glorious works in Colorado Springs.

Erin and I are so fortunate for our supporters, family and friends. We are kingdom people who believe as the lords prayer says thy kingdom come thy will be done on EARTH as it is in HEAVEN. We will forever plant kingdom wherever we go and we believe that this is just the beginning. 

Please continue to lift Erin and I up as we go through this leap of faith in a new city and completely trusting as the Lord leads. Abraham set out not knowing so this is what we are doing, we are believing that God is in control and His plans are the very best for us.
