Dear Family,

I would like to let you in on what God has been doing in my life these past two years while attending Bethel school of supernatural ministry in Redding California. I pray the glory of God to rest upon you as you read.

A lot has gone on in the past two years and my life is so different from when I first came here. I have seen so many miracles done through my hands in church services and on the streets. The training I've received here at this school has been so practical in my life. I've learned through hands on experience, how to display the raw power of God. I had the chance to go on my first overseas missions trip to the middle east last year, which activated me in doing the same thing Jesus did when He was there 2000 years ago, which was healing and the preaching of the Kingdom. Now here in my second year of school I've been able to go on different ministry trips with leaders from the school who move in incredible power. I was able to go to Joesph, Oregon for a weekend of revival in October. Then in November I had the chance to go to Nebraska for 10 days of revival and saw miracles that I would of never dreamed possible.

The first night before the service as we ministered to a woman, we started to get words of knowledge about her being in a car accident in a brown car 6 years ago . She was amazed at how we knew that about her. She began to tell us that she has a pinched nerve in her neck which causes extreme pain throughout her arms and neck. She also had a metal plate in her neck that she could feel. So we prayed a quick prayer and ashed how she felt. Her response was “ all my pain is being sucked out of my arms”. We asked her to move her neck around. She again said “ all the pain is gone”, she couldn't do that before without extreme pain. So we asked her to check if the metal was still in her neck. She put her hand to her neck and couldn't find the metal plate anymore! God totally healed her and took out the metal plate!

I could keep going for 2 hours just about all the testimonies I saw on that trip alone. I have some posted on my Blog if you want to stay connected to what God is doing in my life. Just go to http://revivallifestyle.blogspot.com/ . Also if you want to hear more I would be more then glad to have a coffee with you or just preach at your church and you could see them first hand. That way you could start to create your own testimonies of the things God has done through you. God is all about working miracles and showing how easy it is to do them, either in the street or in the church, so we as the body can do the same thing. I'm at this school to learn how to do the works of Jesus and in turn go and teach others to do the same. My major in this school is school leadership and planting. I'm learning in this class how to go and plant a school to raise up other leaders, so they may go back to there home towns and bring revival. My heart burns for revival! I was born to see others raised up as revivalists and openly display the raw power of God in every sphere of society. I'm writing this letter because I want to give others a chance to partner with me in this vision to see revival in our home towns and have the Kingdom of God openly displayed in our neighborhoods.

This summer instead of coming home, I went to work for 3 months in Alaska to earn money for the 2010-2011 school year. That money has now run out and I still have $900.00 to pay on my school tuition plus rent, utilities and food. I'm also going on a missions trip to Mexico city, Mexico in march which is $1250.00. Last year when I went to the middle east it cost around $3000.00. Thanks to everyone who sowed into that trip and a big thanks to everyone who poured into me all last year financially. Without you, I could not be accomplishing what I am for God. You are a huge part of seeing my dreams come to pass. I'm experiencing and seeing more for the Kingdom of God now then I thought I would in 10 years. Thanks so much.

Some of the needs I've already mentioned but I want to give you a clear picture of what I'm looking at with numbers for the whole year. I have already gone through 3 months and I still have 6 more months to go. The totals for the year are December through May.

I just want to say thank you to all that have helped me financially in the past. You are planting into good soil and I know you will reap a great harvest. And for those who want to give into this vision and partner with me in seeing revival, I have a couple ways for you to do that. You can go to https://www.ibssm.org/?action=donate_search and donate it through my school site. When you donate through my schools site, you will receive a tax deduction. However, I will not be able to use that money for food,utilities, or rent. It only goes toward tuition and missions trip. If you would like to donate toward other things, send it to my address in California. My address is:

4440 dogwood lane #1, Redding CA, 96003.

I pray God visits you as you read this letter with impartation and breakthrough in signs, wonders and miracles. Let miracles be really really easy. I pray Gods manifest presence and joy to overcome you. May you become possessed by God! Amen.

Revival,

Ten Days of Revival... Nebraska

   Today I landed in Nebraska for the start of this ten day revival, and I must say the first night was incredible. It was by far one of the best revival services I've ever been apart of. Tonight I've seen the most miracles in one of the smallest services I've been to. There was only about 40 people attending the service and we had at least 20 different words of knowledge and almost all the people got healed. There where so many miracles that we almost lost track of them all. Some people had 2-4 things get healed in their body. One of the girls on our team called out deaf ear, and this women stood up that had 50% hearing lost in her left ear. She began to pray, and within a couple minutes her ear totally opened up! It was so amazing! She also got healed of vision problems, hip pain, sciatic nerve problems, and arches started to grow where her feet were flat before. She received a total overhaul in her body. Jesus is the best body mechanic!

A couple hours before the meeting, we were all at the host home resting up from our flight, when all of a sudden my right thumb started to throb with pain, And it quickly went away. Knowing that I don't have pain there, I knew it was a word of knowledge for someone that God wanted to heal at the meeting. Later during the meeting I remembered the word of knowledge and spoke it. A lady in the back raised her hand, and it happen to be the pastor of the church! She said it wasn't in pain at that moment but its from arthritis in her hand which makes the thumb throb in pain. So I got the people around her to lay their hands on her and pray. She was not able to test it out at that time cause it was not in pain at that moment, But I believe she was healed.

Tonight I also gave two words of knowledge that I've never gave before, but I knew I was hearing from God, so I took a risk and said them. I had a vision of a nose with an ingrown hair in it or a bump which caused pain and also ingrown toenails. Of coarse no one raised there hands for those but that was understandable. Later after the meeting I was told some people did have both of those words of knowledge. It felt good that I was really hearing from God.

Many miracles where seen tonight like, a man with neck pain for 10 years that had to sleep with special pillows was healed, a womens leg grew out with everyone watching, a women with consent migraines was healed and she also had a lump under her arm for 10 years that disappear. A man that had no hope of living was given hope and felt like a load was taken off. A young man that had problems in his throat, and breathing was totally healed.

One of my favorites tonight was when people started to call others on the phone that they knew had health problems and they where getting healed over the phone. This one girl called her sister because she had scoliosis and she was going to pray for her, but when she got on the phone she felt the Lord tell her not to pray, but to tell her sister to just go and check her back to see if its straight. So she said I will call you back. Calls her back and her sister who had the scoliosis said that she got a friend to look at her back and her back was straight! God healed her back without anyone praying for her! Hes that good!

So much more happened but it would take to long to tell, but I must tell this last story of tonight, and its the best in my book. This happened before the service even began. We where all in the food room just hanging out with the people when we started getting words of knowledge for a lady in the room. Turns out she has a metal plate in her neck from an accident 3 years prier, and her hands are in so much pain all the time that the doctors give her shots to take away the pain. She is unable to move her head all the way back because the pain is so intense. She told us she will have to go in for surgery because of it. We also get words of knowledge about her feet that swell up and a bladder infection. She is total blown away by the accurate words and she lets us pray for her. As we begin to pray she immediately feels heat go through her hands and the pain leaves! So we ask her to move her head back, and still no pain, so we ask her to find the metal plate in her neck, and she cant find the plate anymore! God healed her body of the pain and took out the metal plate in her neck! It happened so fast and so easy we could of almost missed it. God loves to heal so much that He just plans on doing it immediately!

Well this was just the first night of the 10 days of revival, and we have already seen half of the stuff we said we wanted to see before we left for this trip in Redding. God truly starts the journey off where we stop our dreaming, Hes really into doing more then we could ask our think. Hes just a good Daddy...
