"I Will"

And we're off!
Today we have officially left for tour and had our first stop in Vinita! We were welcomed with a lot of enthusiasm and excitement. On our way here, God spoke to several of us about what He wanted to release to the people here as well as what He wanted to do to build our confidence. One of the things He said was that we don't have to worry about our effectiveness, because God will! He will do the things He said He would do, and He will use us, and we will see miracles. A couple people told us after the service that even though we might not have seen a lot of response tonight, they knew that there would be lasting change in people out of what we imparted.
Kendra and Denica did prophetic paintings, releasing the words "revolution" (specifically a revolution of love) and "explosion" to the church. The paintings really spoke to two young kids, and so we gave them to them.
Also, in giving her testimony tonight, Genesis in particular stepped into a whole new level of freedom in her openness, and much power was released as a result! We know God touched the church here, and we are so blessed to have been a blessing.

Kristen's Picture at Ponca

While we were ministering at Ponca City, the Lord gave Kristen a picture of a bright red heart in the midst of everything around it being black and white. He said to her: "Your tour will be awsome but don't leave people remembering you and your dances. Leave them with the image of me and the embrace of my love surrounding them." May we carry this perspective with us as we go!

Ponca Love

Last night, April 21, 2009, was our first official tour stop in Ponca City, where we had the opportunity to minister to the youth group of Foursquare Gospel Church. God showed us a piece of what we can expect for the rest of our tour and is giving us more of his heart. More than anything, we felt that God just wanted us to love on the kids there, and we had the opportunity to do that! Several came up for prayer, some of which were really hurting from relational issues or people in their lives recently dying. We prayed for them and God spoke through us. We believe He will continue to set these youth free and also to set them on fire to be "trendsetters" in their world. We are very grateful that God used our dances and dramas and our prayers and words to touch these youth, and we can't wait to see what else he will do on the remainder of tour! Last night raised our level of expectation and passion!
