Washington DC

Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to give you all an update on my life as of now, living in Washington DC, on outreach. 

God has been so wonderful. Our first week here we had a lot of prayer, intercession, worship and outreach. 

 One outreach we have really hit hard here is called a Life Siege. Its where we go to the Supreme Court steps and stand their with red tape over our mouths with the word 'LIFE' on it and pray for our leaders as they make decisions concerning life and the abortion issue. We do this for a couple of reason. One being, we believe in the power of prayer and that God hears us when we pray. Two, just the fact that babies in the womb to not have a voice. Therefore they need someone to fight for them. The Supreme Courts make alot of the final decisions concerning laws and so we feel that is where we need to interceded for these children.  

Another outreach we do alot is prayer and evangelism. Every Tuesday and Friday night we meet in our house/church and have a worship night. We open our doors and welcome people from right off the streets to come in and worship God with us. It is so powerful and I love having that privilege to bring Glory to God. Then during the day we take out guitars and our worship out to the streets and sing and praise God with people on the side walk. That is probably my most favorite because we evangelize, pray, and worship all at the same time. Just today we took our worship out to the streets and a man by the name of Charles walked by and told us that he was a believer and knows how to play the drums. So he sat there along with all of his friends and the people waiting at the bus stop and we sang, and danced for the Lord. It touched my heart. 

Yesterday, there was a rally at the Lincoln Memorial standing and praying for Human Trafficking Victims. We had a lot of people show up and listen to the prayers and testimonies of victims themselves. It was very powerful and I was so glad I was there to be apart of it. 

This week our normal schedule is Breakfast, quiet time/intercession, outreach on the streets along with worship, life siege, lunch, more prayer and quiet time, then dinner. 

God is doing so much this past week and only to think this is just the beginning of outreach. The one thing that God has really showed me is that the power of his love is incredible. And that we need to be very aware of the Holy Spirit with us at all times. I have really pressed into God's heart for His people and It overwhelms me every time. 

 Finances however I am still in need. I have about $2,200 dollars left to go for the remainder of my outreach. Would you prayerfully consider sponsoring me? I am not able to do what I do with out all of you and I am so thankful for you all and everyone that has helped me already. If you are interested just send me a message and I will walk you through it all. 

Thank you again for all your help and support. 

God bless,
