What a privilege it is to serve in this time in history! We are blown away by how God is moving in the nations, and in our very own, here in the US! As stories keep pouring in from all sides, we are continually reminded of how awesome the God we serve is - and to keep running the race that He has given us with endurance!
We are SO grateful to be able to be here by your love and support. Every time we receive your donations or encouragement, I pray for each one of you and thank God for His provision! We are so blessed, thank you SO much for every way that you have (and continue to!) support us over the years.
Daniel and Isaac are continuing to thrive at The Learning Center, and it has been a joy to watch them grow, excited for each new day at school. We are thankful to have such a wonderful place for them to learn and have opportunities to share their walk with Jesus with others, too! They have also been doing mini “outreaches” most weeks with their former Foundation School teacher, they have loved making things to share with others, praying for others and learning how to share the Bible with their peers!
Amelia is an adventurous little girl, always on the move, and currently unstoppable (except for naps and nursing, which she cherishes.) She continues to amaze everyone with how quick she is on her feet and how well she climbs, etc. for her age - she has two good brothers to follow!

Daniel and Isaac have started playing soccer and Jeff is coaching for the first time too!
Cheri is beginning the April quarter of School of Worship here - we have 14 students (plus 3 "staff-students," due to their prior background and experience) 17 total from 9 different nations!
Cheri has also been coordinating the admin and communications for all of the schools of worship each year, helping to track down health forms, visa documents, finances, you name it. It all is SO worth it to see the many lives transformed, not only of the students themselves throughout the quarter, but also the multiplied impact of the lives impacted by TRUE worshipers sent out to reach the nations! On top of admin, she will also be actively helping disciple the staff and students this quarter!
How have YOU been impacted by worship or songs that have been recently written?
It can be a joy to reflect on how God has impacted our lives by some of the same things that we are working towards encouraging in the lives of others!
Our outreach teams from last quarter just returned. We helped to establish a new Prayer Room in the Himalayas, worked with the local population in writing worship songs in their mother tongue for the first time in history, and helped record those songs as well! We are blown away by the faithfulness of God in reaching His people from every tribe, and can’t wait for the opportunities like this in the future.
Jeff recorded some of their testimonies, stay tuned!!
It has been shared that Loren Cunningham has stage 4 cancer, so there is a renewed effort to capture as much as possible in the upcoming months. Jeff has had special opportunities to help in these last precious times with the founder of YWAM!
Jeff was also invited to teach in the Creative Media upper-level school. The Course has been serving all of our events with livestream media this past quarter, and it was wonderful to share about how to lead a team in a church or volunteer setting and the technical details needed to build a livestream.
Over the last year, YWAM has moved the teaching and meetings archive from Lausanne, Switzerland here to Kona. We have a new team assembling that is taking on the responsibility of sorting through and digitizing the media with the hope of making it available to the world. This is close to Jeff’s heart for reaching as many as possible with quality content, and he has been seeking to find the best methods for distribution.
Over the Last 5 years the AV Team has grown from 2 regular staff to 7 regular staff plus 8 or more students every quarter - our goal is to train students to be able to serve their churches and organizations wherever in the world the Lord sends them.
It is an honor to continue to serve this community where God has placed us for this moment!
We are so privileged to have you walk together with us on this journey! Thank you again for your support and prayers, they mean the world to us!
Do you have any needs that we can partner with you in prayer for? Please reach out! We would love to come alongside you as well!
“In all things, give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18
