Hello Canada!

I am now in the Maple Leaf state, and so far it really is no different! Well, except for a few 'ehs' and a couple 'aboots' =] =]. But God has been moving mountains!! The past two days (July 2nd and 3rd) we were in Mississauga. The Holy Spirit was strong in both of the churches. At one of the worship nights the celebrants went around and laid their hands on each person. As our hands went down, people began to cry and pray. The Spirit was moving! Each night I am amazed that as I worship the Lord the people in the audience are having an experience with God, that they are being touch by us worshiping Him.

And God is providing for us financially too! Peoples hearts are moving and they are able to see what God does with our ministry. Jon Stemkoski talked to us today and God has firmly told him that we are to go to Morocco. We may not be leaving on the 9th, and instead leaving on the 14th but God told him that even though there are people in power who do not want us there, He is stronger than them. Talking to Jon and his wife, Mimi, I know that God wants us there and we are going to do some powerful stuff. I am really excited that God wanted to use me here too. And I am also so humbled. Part of me wants to say, 'who am I to minister to someone in a country who cannot praise God in public?' But what it comes down to is that I am willing to say, 'Here I am, Lord. Use me!' We all need to be open to His call!

Also, I had a great moment with the Holy Spirit on the bus today. As Jon was talking he was telling us about how Celebrant Singers were the first ministry to get into the country of Albania. He said that God used Celebrants as a ministry to plant a seed and begin revivals in countries. After he said that the Spirit lead me back to a moment in the fall of 2005.

I had a vision of a red heart lifting up in front of me, and as it rose, I could feel the Holy Spirit get stronger in me. I reached out to grab it and as my hand almost touched it it parted in two and floated to the ground. The feeling of the Spirit fell back into me and I was shocked. I didn't know what it meant and I realized that I needed my Joseph. During the summer of 2006 I found a girl who interpreted my dream and she told me that God uses me and will use me to plant the seeds but with the work that He will have me do I will not see the fruit. I will begin the work and He doesn't want me to be disappointed by this.

It was so powerful that the Spirit reminded me at that moment because it was God telling me that I am doing the right thing. This is the ministry He wants me in. With this summer I needed to hear that confirmation again. God is good!

Keep up your prayers for us, God is moving!
