Fall/Summer 2010
Dear Co-Ministers,
I hope you all had a satisfying summer. It’s been a few months since I’ve given you a summary of the latest activities in which I’ve been involved. Since my last newsletter, I’ve been to the Dallas, Tacoma and Buenos Aires area a couple times each. In Dallas, I’ve worked with Joe Galindo to help bring the church into the marketplace. We’re just finishing up our second book ‘Strategic Intercession in Your Business’. It should be bound and ready for distribution by the end of the year. In Denton, TX, were able to meet with Chuck Pierce, a leader in the prophetic ministry movement. We also met some other big movers in the Kingdom internationally. We continue to work with local groups to bring the intercessory ministry into a full 2 way conversation with our Father.
In Argentina, we now have a new accountant sent by God to take over the job of maintaining the government aspects of our Buenos Aires base while we’re not there. I spent several days there with Ivan, our primary ministry contact in Latin America. While together, Ivan and I were led to other groups in Buenos Aires working to help the church move out of the box. We prayed much about enhancements that need to be made in this ministry. One of the things that the Lord spoke was for us to get ready to translate our books to Spanish. The very next day, the Lord brought a perfect person to us to accomplish just that.
In the Tacoma, Washington area, I continue working with the Kingdom company Continuant to help them strategically engage intercessors at all levels. We’re strategic about most other things in our businesses, but most of us believers don’t take God seriously when He tells us not to lean on our own understanding. God knows exactly where all of the resources are and what we need to do to get them. He’s ready to save us time and effort and show us if we’ll humble ourselves and work together in seeking after Him and His will. It’s wonderful to watch the Lord build up this model for the church in business to follow.
Each time I’ve been in Tacoma, I’ve met with the Olympia based prophetic ministry group Live Out Loud (LOL). I consider LOL a model for one of the new areas where the Lord wants to involve His church. They are able to do many things that the typical fellowship cannot. The Lord is calling out many specialized ministry teams to fill big gaps that the church has not been covering. These groups are also serving to make the body more cohesive as less importance is put on denominational doctrines and more is put on relationship networks.
It’s always nice to spend some time in my first birth state with family and friends. Earl, our communications leader, put together a nice potluck in Springfield for our core team. We also had a great 2 day board meeting at the end of August in Portland where the Lord spoke several words of direction to us. It was nice to have our primary Australian contact, Gavin, stop into Portland to sit in on some of the meeting then accompany me to Tacoma, where he traveled back to Sydney. At our meeting, one overriding directional theme from our Leader was that our purpose is to be obedient and prepared for when He says GO.
We have received several confirmations that international ministry will again be part of our job soon. Resources aren’t available for that right now but we believe we are supposed to have everything prepared for when the Lord puts us together with those whom He has entrusted with them. Robert Johnson, my principal foreign ministry companion, and I felt we should compile and review a list of all of our foreign partners and their requests. We presently have 22 cities in 11 different countries who have given us open invitations to be the chief ministers at nondenominational leadership conferences in their areas. Most of these have promised to provide all of the facilities necessary to present those conferences. People around the world are ready to receive the message of freedom in Christ. For anyone who would like to see the details of those 22 cities, you can go to the Pending Activities section of our web page.
Intercessors, please pray that we do what where we’re supposed to do to prepare and don’t get weary in well doing while waiting for provision. I humbly examine any words of wisdom or knowledge that you send my way. As we’ve triangulated the words the intercessors have sent or received while praying with us, it’s amazing how clear what God is saying to us has become. The Lord is putting together equally yoked partnerships for those trying to stay on His pioneering path. Pray that we are clear who our partners are supposed to be and vice versa. I’ll be finishing up work in Dallas and then Argentina until the end of the year when I’ll be back in the NW US. Intercessors will be kept informed on the details.

Spring 2010
Dear partners,
Recently I’ve had the joy of working with someone I’ve known since grade school. Doug Graham and his wife Sharon invited me to visit their kingdom company in the Seattle-Tacoma area called Continuant. Their company maintains communications systems for businesses across the US. They have been and are continuing on as an example of the church in the workplace. After graduating from West Point, Doug became senior pastor of a fellowship. Then the Lord brought him into establishing and pastoring companies for the Kingdom. Continuant is a rapidly expanding company that is thriving even more during this recessionary period. They have their own on site counselors and also bring in people to minister to their employees. I believe kingdom companies like the Grahams’ are on the leading edge of the restoration of the apostolic church.
I am consulting with them where I can be of assistance and at the same time experiencing a real kingdom company in action. I was honored to be invited to an executive leadership meeting in which Doug shared the latest directions that the Lord had given him for their company. He followed this by praying for all of the managers in the company. Whoa! That didn’t happen in any companies where I have previously worked. Christ died to give us freedom. This is why the Lord’s will is to put his followers in positions of leadership in the marketplace, education, media, and politics and in all areas of society.
My Dallas partner Joe and I are still working on our second small book titled ‘Kingdom Business Transformation: Practicing Strategic Intercession in Your Business’. This book helps the church, wherever it is operating, to walk in the power of God by setting up a listening network to keep from missing the Lords direction. Then we can petition, proclaim and walk out those directions. I also was able to spend some time with listening intercessors in the Dallas, TX and Eugene, OR area. It’s always inspiring to see how the Lord moves when hungry and thirsty people come seeking God for their sustenance.
I made another trip to Buenos Aires, Argentina. My sister Diane’s son Opie spent 10 days with me. We did some communing together with the Lord while each of us gained insight on another generation’s way of thinking. Spending time with him was another confirmation that the church must return to the biblical basics. We need to reach the world using everyone in the body in their unique God given callings, assigned tasks and gifts. Either that or the church will lose out especially on the huge benefit of the energy and passion of the upcoming generation who are not going to be satisfied with spectator Christianity. The old clock tower in Buenos Aires that my nephew is standing next to reminds me that we’ve each been given a slice of time to do our part while sowing the seeds for the next generation.
I’m getting directions and confirmations that international ministry will again be part of my job again soon but resources aren’t there now. God has no unfunded mandates so that is presently on hold. In the next few months I will be doing more writing, working with intercessory groups in the US and making a short trip to Argentina in June. One of the things I will do is help set up some strategic intercession networks such as the ones that we speak about in the book that we are now writing. The Lord is restoring his house, “the church”, to be a house of prayer for all nations (Isaiah 56:7). In order to do this, we must know exactly which path to take and what we are supposed to petition and proclaim. This is the only way we will do everything by the Spirit of the Lord and not by our own force or strength (Zechariah 4:6). The Lord wants to build a giant protective prayer net that will tie his children together as one by His Spirit.
Please cover me in prayer. I humbly examine any words of wisdom or knowledge that you send my way. The Lord is putting together equally yoked partnerships for those trying to stay on His pioneering path. Intercessors please pray for correct connections and open doors as priorities on your prayer lists.
