Hello everyone! Id like to post some information about our Mission trip that we will be going on in March 2012. We have been chosen to be part of a team of 40 individuals going to New Zealand  and Tahiti. We have never been there and quite honestly, among the 60 places we could have gone, this was not at the top of our list. We wondered what God was doing in putting us on this team, but since we have had a team meeting with our leaders (John and Barbara Kealiinohomoku- He's Hawaiian and has a heart for the Polynesian people) and have spoken with some New Zealanders that are at Bethel as students, we have such peace and are completely stoked!
 
So, what on earth could we be doing in New Zealand/Tahiti you might be asking? The answer is...ALOT!
First of all, Auckland New Zealand has the largest population of Polynesians in the world. This is where we will start our journey on March 22. We have been told that the Polynesian people are very 'tribal' and although they love to dance and sing, it is not Jesus that they are necessarily dancing and singing to. While in NZ we will be partnering with a Bethel church plant in the Northern region and ministering to the Tribal (Maori) people and their leaders. We will also be able to visit schools, preach in other churches and do some street evangelism. We will be there investing into the communities for two weeks.

 Our next stop will be Tahiti where we will be part of a leaders advance for 3 days and breathing God's love into their hopelessness, their poverty and identity as a people. After that we'll be going to the Island of Moraa where we will be able to do some activities in their community, like worship and art. This may be the biggest challenge of the entire trip because this place, we have been told, is very dark and demonic and where witchcraft is still practised. 

 As we prepare for this trip, we'd like to ask for your personal prayers for safety, good health and through us, a release of God's Kingdom and love over NZ/ Tahiti. Bethel also has encouraged all students going on Mission trips to send out support letters. We are in the process of putting that letter together and it will include much of what I've written here. If you would like to partner with us financially as we sow into this area of the world, you can do so by sending your gifts to our home address here in Redding listed below:

Well, we have had a good October and November.  It is hard to understand that we are now three months into the nine (9).  Seems like we will be done and home before you know it.  At the end of October we went to Ventura to attend Janey and Zeb's wedding.  We had a wonderful time with my family and friends.  They were beautiful and thanks to Cindy Mash from Nanaimo that came and took some beautiful photos of the event. 

Our school time continues to be very good and we are learning and growing.  God is good and He always knows exactly what He can and cannot give you and how fast He can accelerate your journey.  Kris Valloton did a week teaching Prophetic prophecy.  He taught for 8-10 hours on the do's and do nots and what scripture says about the gift of prophecy. Kris taught on the five fold ministry and how the job of the 5 fold is to build up the body. We are called to bring the gold nuggets out of each person we meet and deal with.  He prayed and anointed the students for more of the gift and more dreams and visions. 

For our activations, Dayna has been working in the Ladies Drug Rehab - building relationships and preaching the word.  Dave has been in a healing activation group moving thru the city meeting and praying with people.  We recently started our new Tracks which will run the remainder of the year -Dayna is in International  Transformation and Dave is into the Sozo - Inner Healing track.  Inner Healing is so important to understanding and receiving the full love that the Father has for each of us.  We have all been offended in our lives and the roots of bitterness and anger often grow deep.  We must get rid of these before we can hear the voice of the Father and the Holy Spirit to attain all that He has called us to be.  Dave will become part of the Transformation Team at Bethel until the end of the year helping people to find that healing. 

One of the things we are realizing is that sometimes we have a season where the Spirit touches us in different ways. Sometimes it is in Inspirational thought?  Sometimes the Lord gives us something different - it may be a deep process in the heart and mind.  These are divine moments and we need to make sure we catch them.  All increase comes from stewarding well what we were given.  Bill has cautioned us to go deep and not build wide but make sure we go deep. 

Danny Silk spoke to us about the Fathers love and touch.  Bethel really builds the Fathers love into us.  We need to understand where we stand in the Kingdom and the royalty that we have been given.  We need to claim it and realize that our Father is there for our good - HE IS IN A GOOD MOOD and wants the best for us at all times.  He is not this big guy in the sky waiting to wipe us all out for any mistake.  One of the greatest needs we all have is trust. Almost all issues that people face are traced back to trust.  We are learning to trust all and to develop intimacy with the people around us.  These are critical to growing in the Fathers love, power and authority that He has given us. 

We have just had the American Thanksgiving off.  It was a wonderful time to spend with new friends and celebrate all that God has done for both Dayna and I.  We are so thankful to our Father for Him choosing us and giving us His mercy and grace.  We are so encouraged by what God is doing in our lives and look forward to the next six (6) months.

I decided it was time for me to write on our blog and give Dayna a rest.  It has been an interesting journey to say the least.  On Oct. 7^th we were visited by Claudio Freidzon who is from Argentina.  Claudio oversees a church in Argentina with 30,000 people.  There has been a revival in Argentina for 30 years.  Claudio has been the main reason for the continued revival. God lights the fire but it is the minister who keeps the fire burning.  He was very powerful and heavily anointed.  He used the analogy of the bamboo seed.  He explained how the roots grow downward for 7 years before it starts to shoot upwards.  Once it starts upwards it grows huge amounts almost daily.  He equated that to how 7 years to God was but a blink of time.  Claudio talked about our need to surrender our lives to God.  Claudio walked around the room and laid hands on all 900 students anointing each student.  It was a powerful event with the Spirit moving very heavily and many manifestations occurring.   

God is amazing and we are learning more and more every day.  The un-renewed mind is at war with the Kingdom. When we understand that we will understand how destructive that is. We serve a Master that is full of things that make you wonder and if you don’t see or have those things then you need to check the distance between you and the Master.  The Holy Spirit comes in full measure but we each have a measured portion.  He will only give us the measure of what we will guard.  Follow Kingdom laws to get Kingdom blessings.   God is looking for us to do something with what we have been given.  The power and presence of God will do more in a moment than we can do in a life time!!

On October 12^th we had John and Carol Arnott arrive to do a conference at Bethel.  John spoke with the student body the day before the conference and spent time ministering to all the students. He spoke on the Holy Spirit and told the students that it was up to us if we wanted the Spirit and how much.  That we needed to go get what we wanted.  We needed to be hungry and He (Holy Spirit) wants to give us all we want. The Spirit will say things that are golden in the right moments. In the Lords presence there is fullness of joy and we need to live a life built around being with the Spirit every moment of the day. He reminded us that Jesus came to bind up the broken hearted, preach the good news and set the captives free.  We need to soak in the Holy Spirits presence on a daily basis.  The Lord loves corporate and John encouraged all the students to be in corporate.  The Fathers will was to heal everyone and everyone that Jesus met He healed.  He really encouraged us to walk in the gifts and to know what our identity and authority was.  We have a tendency to make the devil too big –  John reminded us that ``Jesus said that ALL authority was given to us`` so how much authority was given to the other guy – only what we give him?  John reminded us that the enemy will exploit us if we are the least bit tentative?  Jesus said all authority in heaven and earth has been given to us so claim it and learn to walk in it. Don’t give ground to the enemy.  We need to have more faith in God’s blessings than the devil’s plight to deceive us.  John also walked around and laid hands on all 900 students.  It was a very wild event with the Spirit moving heavily as he moved thru the building.    John and Carol ministered thru the weekend and there message continued to work around the identity of who we are in Christ and the authority He has given us.  The Super Natural should be the Natural and we need to get to that point in our lives.  On the Friday night at the end of the night to the right of the stage – a cloud appeared and something that looked like gold dust started falling.  It was captured on tape – a gem was also discovered on the floor and it grew as people were watching it.  Thru the night many people got gold teeth and it was evident that the Spirit and the presence of God were very much present.  Later Bill Johnson spoke to all of us on these manifestations. There is no explanation and we should not try to explain away the Spirit.  He said that they really have no idea what is happening but he is amazed and thankful that God is showing himself in some very distinct ways.  Later that week Kris Valloton spoke to us about the leadership team and how they are really trying to figure out the cloud and dust.  It was very refreshing to listen to the leadership about there thoughts.  He explained that they really don’t know what is causing this and as a team they are trying to decide if it is something they (church) are doing or why?  He was honest and admitted that the leadership doesn’t know why this cloud and dust have been showing up in larger amounts over the past three months. 

Bill spoke to us about looking for the deep secrets He (Holy Spirit) has already deposited in our hearts. Job tells us that He deposits those seeds while we sleep so we don’t get proud. They are deposited in our hearts and those seeds will eventually change how we think and see.  The Lord is building a company of people to move the Kingdom.  Sometimes we are put in a position to say or do something where we have no idea what the answer is, in order to keep us humble?  But, in a flash, it only takes a small shift for each of us to be moved to a position to counsel Kings.  We need to hear from Jesus and draw from the well He has created.  The Lord can give the Kings an appetite for who you are.  The Spirit can do something in each of us that makes them want to hear from us. Wisdom sees beyond the obvious - it just doesn’t see problems, it comes in with solutions and answers, however, we must remain filled and over flowing with the Holy Spirit to be effective.
