Partnering With Me

I’ve decided to continue my stay at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City and be trained in the love of Christ at Forerunner School of Ministry (FSM) for at least six more months. My heart has come alive as I’ve read, sang and prayed the Word in the Global Prayer Room. The One Thing Internship that I will complete in December has laid a foundation of prayer, fasted lifestyle and what wholehearted love for Jesus looks like in my life. I miss San Diego and Newbreak Church incredibly yet I cannot help but feel the tug of the Lord asking me to wait before I enter into ministry and to cultivate intimacy with Him.

So here I am, an intercessory missionary! I never knew what intercession meant or was let alone the acute importance of daily, sustained prayer coupled with fasting. Everyone here is not perfect in their living of a Christian life, sin is called sin and when confessed and repented it is forgiven and covered in love. Don’t worry it’s also not a cult, I promise! It’s definitely a lot different than church in California but that doesn’t mitigate the genuine and authentic fruit of the Spirit displayed at IHOP.

The last thing I want is to sound elitist, like I have it all figured out or slightly less than a Pharisee, I feel like I’m now more in touch with the lies that I live with and sin patterns in my life that with the grace of God is slowly ebbing off. I don’t feel like I’m called to Kansas City forever, in fact, I know that California is where God wants me, but the prayer movement isn’t going anywhere and as YWAM and IHOP converge the missions and prayer movements there will be a fulfilling of the Great Commission in the next five years. Can you believe it?! It’s so exciting almost every tribe, tongue, people and nation will have heard the gospel of Jesus Christ!

I will be taking two classes every week which changes monthly as well as a practicum, 24 hours in the week in the GPR and service hours. The school is $1500 a semester and housing is $283 a month (I’m living with two of my roommates from the internship in a small house next to IHOPU) not including groceries, gas and giving. I would love to be fully funded in this next season of my life to be focused on learning the mysteries of Christ and developing a deep love for Him. Even Jesus had women who ministered to Him as He traveled to all the cities.

Please pray about partnering with me for the next six months with either a onetime or monthly gift. I genuinely appreciate all of the prayer that you have labored for me in the last six months and hopefully will for the next.
