Dear Friends,
You are probably wondering if we fell off of the edge of the earth! Not quite but we came close once or twice this past month.
The BIG current project...the development of the HEART AND SOUL90 web site is down to the final laps. Having never been involved in the actual development of a web site I have needed to learn a whole new language! I think Jesus was right when he said: "Don't be sewing a new wineskin to an old wineskin!" Computer language is a "new wineskin"! And let's all confess..."I am an 'old wineskin'"! I just cannot get around that reality. "Migration what? Isn't that what birds do?" No come to find out that is what you do when you take Word processing and apply it to a web function-you are "migrating!" And so there I go, squaking and kicking all of the way!!!
Really, it isn't that bad...just worse! (OK GJ, note to self: Enough whining. Get back to writing the blog!)
The development of the web site is critical to the ongoing support of THE JONATHAN PROJECT and other ministries like JONATHAN. That would be ministries with a passion and heartburn for planting multiplying churches among least reached people groups.
We will be rolling this web site out at the June 3rd meeting with our prayer warriors, supporters and interested friends. At least that is our plan in the moment. We have been assured by the web designer that we will be up and functional at that time. We might have some kinks to work out...which would be quite natural. But by and large we will be ready to roll. Once you hear and see what is happening and what will happen in the future you will be amazed...even as we are!
In the meantime we continue meeting people who are involved in reaching the least reached people groups. We met up with Jeff Alvarez, who along with his family have been key pillars in the training of leaders in SE Asia. Jeff and Ellen have been involved in JONATHAN since it's beginning a little over ten years ago. They are seeing phenomenal success and incredible suffering and persecution- all at the same time in SE Asia. The Gospel is comforting to some and terrifying to others and you really see and experience that among the least reached people groups...as the Gospel is preached!
Judy and I also caught up with PETER AND RUTH XU who now live in Colorado. If you have read THE HEAVENLY MAN then you know about Peter and Ruth. Peter is the spiritual father to Brother Yun...key figure in THE HEAVENLY MAN. The Xu's are personal friends and he has been one of the key leaders in the unregistered house church movement in China for the past thirty years. He continues to be heavily involved in TAKING THE GOSPEL BACK TO JERUSALEM movement...a movement essentially among the Chinese.
Your prayers and support have been instrumental in bringing others alongside us in the spreading of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the least reached people groups on the planet! Judy and I cannot thank you enough!
Blessings,
Graydon and Judy Jessup

Hi Graydon and Judy, Just pulled up your blog. I am so proud of the work you are doing and would like to stay posted. If you could add my email to anything you are sending out I would appreciate it. You were both a very special part of my youth. I sure do understand the keeping up with the new computer technology Gradyon. I am helping start a new non profit to help clean up our earth. And it does keep a person very busy!
Give Judy a hug from me. She is my longest (I won't say oldest) term friend, we met in the 6th grade!
God bless you in your work,
Shari Fiksdal
