Only 12 more days and were back to Italy. Being here these past several months has been such a wonderful time of reconnecting with the body, meeting and making new friends and being refreshed and recharged for the tasks at hand that we feel the Lord is calling us into. We spent Christmas with our boys and my parents in La Quinta and though it was short it was we believe a time of reconnection and healing.
We were blessed to go along in a group with Pastor Dennis to Pastor Lhong Phon of the Vietnamese Church in Fremont where we went to pray for a group of new believers to receive the Holy Spirit and saw a whole family come to the Lord Jesus. Wow. Our time here has been full of divine appointments like Cheryl & Don Pirozok of New Generation Ministries out of Seattle who has blessed our life beyond the ability to write it all. Let's just say we will never ever be the same. Their meeting has opened the door to many more meetings with people who have such a heart for Italy and who consequently have such a heart for California and seeing her move into her destiny and fulfill her calling and mandate from the Lord to be a light to this nation. Don't count her out, pray for California and ask God to have mercy on her. Remember "If my people who are called by my name will turn & repent, I will heal the land". It is our job as the Christians to call out for the Lord, not the unsaved and lost of California.
The names, faces and the events surrounding those divine encounters are too many to share on this blog but you know who you are and we have been so blessed by your entrance into our lives. 2010 is going to be a year that rocks and the Lord is going to do things we have been waiting for and dreaming that He would do in the areas we have been seeking Him for. Last year the Lord told me it was time, and it was the theme throughout everywhere we turned, on sermons, songs, billboards, other ministries and I kept saying "time for what Lord". Well it is pretty obvious now that it was a time of preparation. I keep hearing the Lord say to us now that It is time to begin. We are so excited as we really believe we have come into a time with new boldness, purpose and power to share the gospel, set the captives free, love on people, it has been a privilege beyond words already and we are only in January.
Thank you all so very much for your prayers, support and friendship. We look forward to another great and awesome year in our Lord together.
