2013: Here we go... again!

"The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." Matthew 9:37-38

Jesus sometimes surprises us with where we will be with Him. After spending the past 2 plus years with YWAM based out of Kona, I have made a permanent transition to Southern California. After being here a few months with a majority of my time at college campuses, it is easy to see that the harvest is truly plentiful. It is such a joy to join with Jesus and His church in Southern California as we seek to see the lost come to know Jesus and be an encouragement to ministries in the area. 

After spending much of my time with leaders at these campuses, I am so encouraged by the desire of so many to gather the lost to hear the Gospel. There is a growing unity across campuses to support each other in stepping out in boldness to hold events at each campus.

Striketour is one of the methods to reach the lost and revive the saved at campuses. It is a student led tour this Spring that will hold gatherings at over 10 campuses currently. As we have seen God save and revive at USC and UCLA already, we hope to see campuses impacted by the worship of Jesus, the proclamation of the Gospel and Christians stepping out in boldness to love their fellow students. Check out Striketour.org for a list of the schools and dates of each event. 

Another hope is that there will be a surge of students committing to full time missions that will impact America and the nations of the Earth. Agreeing with the prayer of Jesus in Matthew 9, that there would be a sending of workers into the harvest. That there would be a commitment to seeing the unreached people groups of the Earth reached as well as the people that are in our lives right now.

I am so thankful to be a part of what Jesus is doing here and across the nations. There is such joy and expectation in my heart when I think about how God is reaching campuses and this city already, that I eagerly anticipate working hard with what He is doing this year. Let's join the prayer of Jesus that He would send out workers into His harvest field!

Tentative Schedule:

Wilder Tour- January
Striketour- February to May (check out striketour.org)
Summer- Discipleship in LA and training in other parts of the USA and the nations.
