Big "D"

Lunch with friends at an apartment complex for the mentally handicapped - schizophrenic guy got healed when two of our guys prayed for him....amazing.....the voices left and He heard the voice of the father say, "peace, be still!"
Healing the sick
Team sharing stories and encouraging each other after a great weekend
Ashley & Preslee
We took the Equip class to Dallas this weekend to serve Antioch's church plant Mercy Place. We had an amazingly fruitful and fun weekend. There were many salvation's and healings. We served the church and the poor in the area too. It is always challenging to take 4 kids, push them until they crash and come back and start life on Monday; but we wouldn't have traded it for anything. We love how our students invest in our kids. Our kids know mommy and daddy share the Gospel and wait on God - but when you are in a culture that it is normal- they will normally grow up abnormal- let it be! God in his goodness gave us some ripe fruit from the start. First time out of the chute sharing the gospel Jake, the kids and I went together (only time we did that all weekend) and when we got about a block away God pointed out a woman walking down the street with her 10 year old son. I talked with her for a minute, shared the gospel and she gave her life to Jesus (while Jake kept the kids out of the busy street:) Then we swapped and Jake was able to lead little Ka'Shan to Jesus! They experienced great peace and light headedness as we prayed for them, they will never be the same! Then we walked another block and Jake shared with another man behind his home (a daddy of 4-isn't God good)! He gave his life to Jesus and Kooper taking every second of it in; afterwards said, "He didn't even know what prayer was, wow"; their eyes and ours are being opened up more each day to the sick state of each of our hearts. And every ones need for a relationship with the Prince of Peace! I could tell story after story but I will end saying we are so honored to get to lead with our sweet friends the Kennedy's and lead a team that is truly forcefully advancing the Kingdom! Wow! It's only November; expectant of what God is going to do in the next 7 months!
Revelation 5:9
And they sang a new song: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.
