New Country, New Journeys

About a month ago, Joe and I travelled to San Juan, Puerto Rico for a very important meeting with all of the church and denominational leaders. Before we bring My Hope to a country we desire and request that the leaders offer us an invitation and their support. Without the support of the majority of the leaders My Hope can't proceed, we need them. During this meeting we explain the processes and phases of the project. That this isn't a crusade or festival, but a TV project that is produced for that specific country as a tool for evangelism, using music/artists and testimonies from people(some well known, others less so)of the country we are in. Then through training the pastors to train their congregation to invite their friends and family who do not know Jesus Christ as their Savior, to their home for one or all three of the nights we broadcast. We put the program on national TV at prime time, for anyone to see. The meeting was amazing. Often times these meetings are the first time leaders from all Christian denominations have been in the same room let alone asked to work together. But it is so amazing to see God work through these leaders and pastors as they work together. It breaks down so many walls.
At the end of the meeting after everyone who wants, signs the invitation, we ask for recommendations for our national leaders and committees.


Over the course of the past month Joe and the other team members began sending out the invitations to the leaders and pastors who were chosen to be apart of the committees.
Then on Thursday, Joe and I officially moved to San Juan! God has so lovingly provided for us a car and a temporary apartment. And we praise him for those provisions.


Next week the committee members will meet for the first time and several very important decisions have to be made. So I ask you, Friends and Family to please pray for God's hand over these meetings, for no personal agendas to intrude. I ask that you pray for guidance and wisdom for Joe, Greg, and David as they lead the meetings. Please also begin to pray that the Holy Spirit start working in the hearts of those who will see the programs.
Joe and I want to thank each of you for your love and support over the past few years and we know that without your prayers we would not survive!
