Dear Friends,
I mentioned in my last blog that we had trained some amazing people! Guess what! Fruit is already being born by those trained.
I cannot mention the nation nor the people group due to increased violence and mayhem! All of you reading this understand. I wish I could specifically write names and places as you would be so amazed and overwhelmed. But since I cannot be specific then you will have to be "amazed and overwhelmed" by an act of faith...in what I am telling you!!!
A key component of our training is to help GLOBAL JONATHANS get their arms around the concept of small groups. The geographical places where we plant multiplying churches are violently opposed to anything that would even suggest a "church" or to anyone who might use the name of "Jesus Christ!" This story is brief and short so hang on!
So one of our students returned to the nation God called him/her to serve. Within one week twelve small groups were established where worship would happen and teaching Jesus would take place...every week! This happened in one week. These groups will multiply and the witness of Jesus Christ will go forth from the nationals in that nation. If I told you the place and the people you would "praise the Lord!" HE works in the difficult places and this place is difficult!
This was a testimony to me of what can happen when the Gospel is preached, when Jesus is exalted, and when messengers love the Lord more than life itself!
Thanks for all of your prayers and support!

A New Day
Dear Friends,
It is a new day as we head into the Fall. Judy and I have two ministries we are working on: THE JONATHAN PROJECT and HEART AND SOUL90. Both are directly focused on reaching the least reached for Jesus Christ.
I just returned from an incredible experience in Kentucky, with men and women who we were able to train in the JONATHAN principles of planting multiplying churches among least reached people groups. These amazing folk are headed into some of the most politically/religiously explosive areas currently on the planet. These modern day PAUL'S are carrying the message of love, grace, forgiveness and truth to men and women who have never heard the story! Their lives will be on the line...literally.
As I said in my Face Book post, if you would like to know more specifics I would be happy to send the info to you via email. You just need to hit me with that request.
I'll keep you posted.
Blessings,
Graydon

It has become very REAL!
Dear Friends,
I am sure you have read the news: "Aid Workers Murdered in Afghanistan!"
As I mentioned in my last blog we are training people right now who are called to go to Afghanistan. In fact these people (one couple with an eight month old child and another single man) have all lived in Kabul and surrounding areas. They are preparing to return...in the face of murder and persecution.
That gives you a little insight as to the people we are working with. They are chosen of God and fully committed to HIS purposes as those purposes are worked out in their own lives.
Our training was always serious- "We are training global Jonathans to plant multiplying churches in very difficult unreached people groups within the context of who they are and what they have." All of a sudden it becomes even more serious!
Keep us in your prayers.

Louisville, Kentucky
Dear Friends,
I am in Louisville, KY, participating in the FIRST training of JONATHANS on American soil. For the past ten years our training has been offered in the Philippines, SE Asia and India. These two weeks we are located about 20 miles out of Louisville, KY, training leaders of Team Expansion the JONATHAN principles. This is a HUGE step for us as we exponentially train others to plant churches among very difficult unreached people groups.
I will keep you posted as this continues to unfold. We are in for quite a ride!
Blessings,
