Hope!

         I feel like I’m the luckiest man in the world!  I spend my days traveling the world and
seeing people come alive in Jesus! Not the idea of it, or the theory/theology
of it, but the real tangible substance of it!

         However It’s not easy, I’m more challenged then I’ve ever
been!!  And today I feel exhausted,
but in the best of ways!  Not
necessarily by the “job,” but what I’m in pursuit of!!  I’m after a dream that I’ve tasted and
seen glimpses of!  I believe God
has a dream for His people!  It’s
about becoming aware of who we truly are, dwelling in unity, and life
abundantly- being made fully alive, that can only come from Christ!  It’s one thing to try to believe
something- and another to have the substance of such an idea!  To see it come to pass on a daily
basis.  And to have testimonies
from yesterday, or last week of such things!

         I met a man in Guatemala that was quite offended when I
testified to the encounters I’ve had with God- and things I’ve seen all over
the world- that testify to Gods power,  love,  and that miracles happen
today!  He couldn’t handle it and
thought I was crazy!  It made me
want to scream from the rooftops- “this is not a game- nor is it good idea’s!!
Jesus is alive- and He’s moving all over the world and He loves you!!”  I told him God loved him and that he’s
going to really like him when he meets him.  That was too much for him.

         This squad is ridiculous!  I’m around the most amazing people.  They come from every walk of life
imaginable- with stories you wouldn’t believe!  They’re not boys and girls but men and women coming fully
alive and sharing it with the nations- and are in pursuit of life
abundantly!  Read their blogs!!! I see something with this group, that gives me such
hope!  A potential lies within them
to be what so many have not been! 
A people of radical love- who actually believes what they say- and have
the substance of Christ in their life! They are a tribe of Hope soon to be a
Nation!.  Make no mistake, at this
point in our history my generation is done with good intentions, and good
ideas!  We are in pursuit of truth,
life, and abundant freedom in Christ. 
We know He’s real and alive- not because someone told us, but because we
continually experience unshakable encounters with Him and His Spirit!!!   We won’t live short of what God
intended for us, compromise, or settle! 
We are pushing past the mundane, and religion!  We are becoming people of honor, character, integrity,  and love.  We have decided not to
allow ourselves to be corrupted by pride, function, or the many temptations of
life like money and fame!  Doing
church on Sunday is good, but there’s more- and we’re in the business of being
the church everyday of the week! 
We will continue to be a people with gifting and character; gifting without character is futile! 

         What makes me feel so lucky- is I see this happening before
my eyes- I see this group becoming! 
And I hear the rumors increasing. 
“This is the best group I’ve ever worked with!  No group has ever been to us what this group has been!”

         l still have a holy fear about what I’m doing!  As much as this may seem like a “trip”
around the world- or a glorified vacation, I assure you- it’s not!!!  This isn’t a game nor is this a
“program!”  It comes in the package of one- but It’s really about life
and death!  And God’s hand is all
over this! The day I gave Micheal Hindes (The director of the World Race) my
“yes” to the position and responsibility of being one of the squad leaders a
holy fear fell on me!  It hasn’t
lifted since that day!! Thank GOD! 
I think it keeps me humble, and helps to keep things in perspective!

          I spend my days going from country to country pouring into
my seven leaders as best as I can! 
I know If I do all that I can to make them great! They will be that to
their teams- in hopes that their teams will be that to the nations!  It’s all about love however!  Loving God- then my brothers and
sisters!  Something that I’m still
learning!

         Some days I look in the mirror and think how did I get hear-
but at the same time this boldness and assurance rises within me- and I know
that I’m meant for this!  Even if
it was just for these 46 people- it was worth all that the Lord did to make me
ready!

         The hope in me burns strong- but it’s continually countered
by holy fear that keeps me from running ahead of God (if that were
possible)!  It helps me to keep
things in perspective!  This path-
or narrow road- is about being like royalty!  I love who God is making this squad into!  I’ve said it before-  I’m more Sean today then I’ve ever
been!!

         I‘m currently in Nicaragua with two teams!  Starting tomorrow the other 5 teams are
making their way to our location along with our Squad coaches from the states,
Patti and Mike Pascall.  We will
then have a week long debrief and make our way to Asia starting the 8th!!
