Memorial Day Weekend

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,
