I am gonna try and be brief this morning - 

This has been an awesome week, and I can't believe that it is time to go and worship with my family at South Bay this morning!  Katie and I spent all day yesterday painting and setting up an empty room we had up at South Bay, we wanted to create a space where prayer would be cultivated.  It was funny, as I was painting, I kept praying that God would fill this room - that the people who would spend time on their faces, would meet and know God in a deeper way.  It was exciting to think about all the people who will use this room to cry out to Jesus.  There is nothing significant about the room, or about the paint on the walls, but to know that people will be in their petitioning and praising Jesus - was exciting.

There are a lot of cool things going on right now, I would ask that you pray for our family.  I am getting ready to go to China in 1 month.  Not just China, but Myanmar, Cambodia, and Vietnam as well!  Also, my wife is helping with women's ministry stuff at South Bay, I am helping in the Small Group dept. (I guess I'm kinda running it),  my wife is starting a Bible Study here soon, and we are talking about starting another small group.  That's a lot of awesome Kingdom size things going on that Satan is gonna want to attack hard!  So please, keep us covered.  Our God is an awesome God, and He reigns from Heaven above - so the obstacles here below seem small and manageable for Him, even when they are to big for me!
