Dear Friends,
I am writing this early. I head out for Northern California in an hour or so and will be at Adventure Christian Church in Rocklin, CA, for both of their Sunday morning services tomorrow, May 30th. You can check church location and service times on their web site.
As many of you know, when I am in town on Saturday, I gather with some others for an early morning prayer time. This group has been doing this for about 4+ years. We pray every Saturday of the year, from 6 AM to 8 AM. The regular attenders are: a Korean Pastor, a Chinese Pastor, an Egyptian Pastor, a Latino couple headed out for a mission assignment and myself. (For the first three years we had a Messianic Jew who joined with us each week. He and his family moved to Israel but whenever he is back in town he joins up with us!) As I look at the group I recognize that the prayer of Jesus in John 17 is being answered.
This morning we had five more Chinese meet with us as well as a couple from Khazakstan. The Chinese lead about 20,000,000 believers in unregistered house churches in China. The Chinese leader who was with us is highlighted in the book, "The Heavenly Man." The couple from Khazakstan led a church of about 3,000 people and in the past twenty years the church they led started approximately 275 other churches- mainly in Khazakstan but also throughout Central Asia.
We all were blessed in the prayer meeting this morning. All of the people have one focus in mind: see the Kingdom of God expand until Jesus comes a 2nd time!
I am thrilled to be a part of such a movement of God. Be encouraged! Sometimes it can seem like we are in a negative free fall- and in many instances that would be a true observation. But ever remember, God is on HIS throne. He is Soverign. His Son Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords...and He will return...sooner than later!
May the peace of the Lord be with you all,
Graydon Jessup

A New Week
Dear Friends,
This week continues to be a travel week.
This week continues to be a travel week.
- I'll be speaking to a Mission's group at William Jessup University in Rocklin, CA this Monday evening the 24th. It is a great opportunity to talk about the JONATHAN PROJECT.
- I'll be back in So Cal during the week.
- The weekend of May 30th I will be preaching at ADVENTURE CHRISTIAN CHURCH in Rocklin, CA, in all of their services. You can check their web site for service times.
This JP is multiplying and expanding. If you would like to know more be in contact. I would be blessed to come speak at your place or to any people you would have for me to meet. If you are interested in world change- especially to the least reached people groups on the planet- then we need to talk because you CAN make an eternal difference in ways you possibly do not even realize.
That is it for this post! I look forward to hearing from you.
Prayers,
Graydon Jessup

Singapore
Dear Friends,
This morning I leave for one week in Singapore. Purpose of the meeting: To meet with global Jonathans who are coming to Singapore from all over the world. This meeting happens once every two years. The basic purpose is to assess the past two years and then to plan strategically for the next two years.
One of the commitments THE JONATHAN PROJECT has made is that those involved will be brutally honest in assessing and re-evaluating all facets of the ministry. The ministry with the least reached people groups of the world demands that there be no territorialism, no hidden agendas, no personal pride. People come to the table as clean slates before the Lord and with one purpose in mind: How can we make sure the Gospel is preached to the very least reached folk of the world? This is one reason why I am so drawn to the JONATHAN PROJECT.
Since I have not attended such a meeting before I am going with eagerness and anticipation. This meeting will set our course for the next two years plus. We will build on the past but we will also engage all tools and skills for the future. And ALL of this will be in the context of seeking the very heart of God for anything and everything that we do!
I'll be back at you next Monday!
Prayers,
Graydon Jessup
