What a Conference!

WOW! I have been to many conferences in my life and I would have to say that this was definitely one of the best ones that I have ever been to. The Lord completely blessed us beyond our expectations. A verse that comes to my mind is from Ephesians 3:20-21, which says,

"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen."

We came to this conference expecting the Lord to speak to us through His Word. We know that the word of God is living and active and so we came with this expectation. Well, I can say that He definitely did speak to us. In fact, He did even more than that. One example that I want to share with you took place during a session where we were waiting on the Lord. Rebecca and I came into the session and I was personally praying that God would really encourage us and speak to us in a prophetic way. At the end of this session I can honestly say that the Lord did just that, but not in the way I was thinking or wanting. He did so much more! You see, I came with one expectation in my mind, but HE knew exactly what we REALLY needed. We truly serve such an amazing God! He knows what is best!

The theme of the conference was "The Spirit of God at Work Today." The guest speakers for the conference were David Guzik, Bob Botsford, Ed Rae, Lance Ralston, Phil Metzger, and Nick Long. The Lord truly used each of these men to speak into so many lives. PRAISE GOD FOR ALL THAT HE DID! Now it is time to really step out and apply all that the Lord spoke to us!


WOMEN'S CONFERENCE

Today at CC Herborn we are having our Women's Conference! Bianca Juarez is the guest speaker and so I am looking forward to hear of what the Lord is going to do in the lives of the women today! Lord, speak to your women today! Speak so clearly to Rebecca. In Jesus name, Amen!

2 MORE DAYS
The countdown has been going on in our family for Papa Cliff and Grandma Shoshi to come to Germany. It is now just two days away and the kids are so excited!
Rebecca is gone at the conference. I have got the 3 kids. I got up early this morning to get some shopping done. Need to clean up the house, do the laundry, mow the lawn, feed and take care of the kids, etc. Needless to say - JESUS HELP! JESUS BE GLORIFIED!

Mitarbeiterkonferenz Starts today

After a weekend of pouring out the love of Jesus to His people, we are stoked to have the opportunity to go to CC Siegen for this year's Mitarbeiterkonferenz (Servants Conference) and be refreshed in the Word of God. This is an annual conference that CC Siegen hosts. A team of pastors comes from the states to come to minister and encourage God's workers here in Europe. Calvary Chapel Santa Barbara is the main church that run's this conference along with other servants as well.

This will be our third year going to the conference and as I already mentioned, we are really excited about it! Please do pray that the Lord speaks directly into our lives and strengthens us in our faith!

This has been one of my favorite songs recently. Here is the story behind it all.

Let Justice Run Down Like Water

Tonight we are going to be looking at Amos chapter 5. We are going to finish the third of three messages that Amos speaks to Israel. In chapters 3, 4, & 5 of Amos, each of the chapters start out with, "Hear this word..." And so we are once again going to be considering the title of, "Listen Up! I Have Something to Say!"

In the previous chapters Amos has been clearly pronouncing and defining God's judgment upon His people. And now as we get into chapter 5 we see that God begins the chapter by lamenting over His people. I encourage you to read over it and see what it is that the Lord would want to speak into your life.

Once again, I do ask for and covet your prayers for the preparation and declaration of God's Word!

Amos - Listen Up!

Tonight we will be continuing through the book of Amos. We are going to be considering this title once again, "Listen Up! I Have Something to Say!" For those of you will will be coming, you can go ahead and read through Amos 4 and ask the Lord to begin to prepare your heart for tonight's message.

For those of you reading and you know you cannot come, I would once again ask for prayer for tonight's message. We will also be having a time of communion and so please pray for the Spirit of God to take the Word of God and to speak into our lives so that we would commune with Him tonight in a way that would be fully pleasing to Him!

Thank you so much for your prayers!
