Well, once again here I am writing my blog on a plane. It's my favorite place to write my blog. What is a blog, by the way? Who invented that word? It's quite catchy. Alright, back to my blog. I'm in the air headed to Melbourne, Australia where we will be having our first ever Jesus Culture Australia. About 8 years ago I received a prophetic word about mobilizing fire starters in Australia and New Zealand and so I am excited to see what the Lord does during the conference. It's quite a crazy trip to get from California to Australia.
I left Redding at 4:00 pm, flew to San Francisco and had a two hour layover, flew out of SF at 7:30 to Los Angeles to have another two hour layover, finally flew out of LA to Sydney which will take 13 hours and then I have to catch another flight to Melbourne. Besides my trip to the Phillipines this is the longest trip ever for me. As well, I'm skipping my birthday. My birthday is March 12. That's right I am 32 years old now. Thank you, thank you. I flew out of California on March 11 and am landing in Australia March 13. How crazy is that! I am skipping my birthday this year. I guess I will stay 31 years old for another year.
I continue to get so many cool testimonies from all of you revivalists out there. It used to be years ago that Bethel was unique. What was happening in Redding was not normal in our nation. People getting saved, healed, and delivered on a regular basis. But I'm glad to report, Bethel is no longer unique. I have been so encouraged to hear testimony after testimony about God doing some incredible things through the lives of these radical revivalists in cities across our nation and other nations. In fact, I would strongly encourage you to take time to read the testimonies we post on the website. Anytime I get a testimony I think you need to hear I have it posted on the testimonies page. It will stir you to believe God for revival in your life and in your city.
Pray for us as we are in Australia. I will write again and give you a report on how it went.
Your still 31 year old friend,
