Ministry Update: Spring - Summer 2025

 We are thankful to have been ministering in some different places and events in the past few months.

Canada 🇨🇦 

It was a blessing to get to visit and minister in Canada once again. We ministered at both the South and then the North end of Vancouver Island.

We did a lot of ministry way up on the Northern end of Vancouver Island, which is a gateway to those heading up to Alaska. We were doing some ministry, for the first time for us, amongst the indigenous peoples from the Kwakiutl Tribe at Fort Rupert.

Fort Rupert had the first known inhabitants of the island many thousands of years ago. We were told that they haven’t been that open to Caucasian people, but thanks to friends Lance and Sarah who set things up, we were welcomed, and the Lord gave us favor. 

Grand Chief Dave shared he was hungry for the Holy Spirit to move and that there were those, including in his family, who had become dried out and in need of renewal in their walks with Christ. We were stoked to experience the Holy Spirit moving amongst us powerfully as we ministered, and especially touching, filling and renewing, members from the Grand Chief’s family.

The Grand Chief and his mother, who is 93 years old, both encountered God’s presence in a major way in our first meeting. The Holy Spirit came upon him and his mother in a radical way and they, as well as others, spent a long time on the floor having been inundated under the presence of the Lord. They were there receiving and being filled with the living water which was renewing their hearts! His niece got powerfully filled in the next meeting we were doing and shared afterwards how she had been feeling so dry and really needed this touch from God as the tears were streaming down her face.

Then later I had a divine appointment when we were on the reserve visiting and helping out with some things. I felt the Holy Spirit’s leading that there was someone that needed ministering to. I ran into the niece whom we had prayed for the night before and began talking with her. 

She began to explain how her mother was so in need of ministry and renewal and while talking in the community kitchen, her mother unexpectedly showed up. We shared that we had just been talking about her and said we would like to pray for her. I went and got Mercedes and brought her over and we began to pray for her right there in the kitchen and the power of God came down on her in a very radical way and she began to weep heavily with many tears as God’s presence touched her deeply, then later the Lord began to fill her with joy, and she began to laugh and have burdens lifted off of her. It was a very powerful divine appointment. 

I was also able to share and witness and plant some seeds with others around the reserve and the surrounding area. It was also interesting to hear some stories Grand Chief shared of missionaries in the early 20th century—not too long ago really—who worked to translate the Bible into their Kwakiutl language!

We also ministered in Port Hardy later at The Bridge Christian Fellowship with Pastor George and his wife Karen, which is not too far from Fort Rupert. We were stoked to experience the Lord’s renewing presence filling, and empowering, and bringing healing, and had a few people rededicate their lives to Christ as well. The Holy Spirit moved powerfully amongst us the whole time with a radiant renewing presence that was so refreshing and just releasing healing and new life. Was also stoked to be part of the worship team in both situations in both Fort Rupert and Port Hardy, as well as leading some worship too earlier down in Victoria at a home meeting.

We were in the South of the island as well, ministering in the Victoria area. We were speaking at The House of Shiloh about the “Mothers Day Holy Spirit Outpouring” which took place back when Lonnie Frisbee (Jesus Revolution movie) ministered back at the then Calvary Chapel Yorba Linda, which was later to become the Anaheim Vineyard. 

We were stoked to have the Holy Spirit‘s presence moving amongst us and release “healing, deliverance, strength, and power”—as one friend put it who was at the meetings—as we ministered together at the House of Shiloh. So many were ministered to and touched and renewed and a few people experienced the Baptism and Empowering of the Holy Spirit for the first time in their lives at this service, including a young man who was very powerfully filled with the Holy Spirit to overflowing. 

We also did some other home meetings during the week where we led worship as well as experienced the Holy Spirit pouring out healing and freedom.

The Mother’s Day Outpouring was actually connected to the Jesus People Revival since Lonnie Frisbee was one of the principal evangelists of the Jesus People Revival. It has come to be understood as a historic outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Fuller Seminary Professor Peter Wagner called it an integral part of the “Third Wave Revival”—meaning there were 3 main outpourings in the 20th century that had an emphasis on the Baptism/Empowering of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:5): The Pentecostal Revival, The Charismatic Renewal, and The Third Wave Revival. (There is a list at the end of this newsletter, and some new videos we have done too.)

We also had a couple of other divine appointments along the way in Canada with some people we met: One was with a Filipino guy we met that we witnessed to and prayed for! Another guy lost some cold-weather gloves that we found and caught up to him and shared that the Lord was watching over him and sent us to him to give him that message…he was very touched! PTL!

We also got a nice little break in along the coast in between things where Mercedes and I were able to get in some Canadian surfing and hiking etc. in the beautiful natural surroundings, as well as enjoying a little time in the Columbia Icefields area when we arrived in the country.

 

California Dreamin’ Conference 

We had some blessed meetings we spoke and ministered at in Costa Mesa at the “California Dreamin’“ conference, held at the original church where Lonnie Frisbee began to minister with Chuck Smith in the inception of the Jesus People Revival, as featured in the “Jesus Revolution” movie.

Mercedes and I were blessed to share about the significant revivals of the 20th century and how they were connected to California, including as we just referenced, the Pentecostal Revival, the Charismatic Renewal, and the Third Wave Revival. 

 

Salinas 

We had a blessed time ministering together as well as hanging out with our friend David Estrella at the Vineyard in Salinas with Pastor Dave and his wife Renee where we shared about the move of the Holy Spirit in different aspects of history, as well as the filling of the Holy Spirit Dave experienced when Mercedes and I ministered at Surfing the Nations (STN) in Hawaii some years ago. It was when we were ministering there at STN that David got filled and empowered by the Holy Spirit for the first time in his life after having grown up and gone to church his whole life.

The Holy Spirit moved amongst us as we ministered at the Vineyard and poured out His loving and healing presence over those who were there, including a young lady who wasn’t even gonna come to the meeting that night, but just showed up at the last moment because of a stress issue and got radically touched by the Lord!

We also got to enjoy taking a little time to enjoy some of the area and do some fun things in that scenic region. 

 

Orange and Dana Point

 

We were blessed to minister in the Orange area at Centro Cristiano Esperanza where we experienced the Holy Spirit filling many of the young people including touching some very young teenagers. 

We also joined Patrick and Emily as they led worship at OC Rock Church in South Orange County. We were the support team in the worship and praying for people, as they both taught from the Bible at that service.

We also shared about the Jesus People Revival and the real St Patrick on a Zoom meeting recently as well. We also have a new video about a “Holy Ghost Ski Story” that involves ministry we were led to by the Holy Spirit that involved us sharing about the real St. Patrick on St. Patrick’s day as a way to share the Gospel We have continued ministering as well in other places and in other venues including a blessed meeting in San Diego we just did that our friend Lauren set up! 

 

Anniversary 

We are thankful to be celebrating 33 years of marriage this summer, and we were stoked to finally get a chance to get a little time up in the mountains together to take time to celebrate that important milestone. We praise God for His grace, mercy, and are so grateful for the Holy Spirit’s presence that has blessed us and carried us through all these years.

 

We are so grateful for your ongoing prayers and support!

God Bless!

He Is Risen! Happy Easter! His Miracles Continue!

Jesus went to the Cross and paid for our sins, and on the third day He rose from the dead having conquered sin and death.

After the resurrection, He continued to appear to His disciples as well as do many miraculous signs amongst them. He did so many miracles that they are not even all recorded, in fact the book of John says:

“Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” John 20:30-31

Jesus did many other miracles and in fact continues to do them in the present when we walk in faith and are led by His Spirit. Sometimes there are big ones and other times there are small ones, however the small ones can be just as mind-boggling as the big ones.

It is a mystery as to why some prayers take years to get answered, while others are answered in moments…Some divine mysteries cannot be explained rationally, but rather, are to just be accepted and to be thankful for and marveled over, just like His very resurrection. 

During this season of Easter, it is good to reflect on Christ’s payment for our sins and His glorious resurrection, as well as to rejoice in His intervention in our lives in both big and small ways. The biggest miracle is of course having our sins paid for on the cross by Jesus and having been given eternal life through faith in Him.

Small miracles and answers to prayers are also good to reflect on, as they speak of the personal touch of God into our own situations and everyday lives.

The following is a short testimony about one of those little signs and wonders that happened recently when calling upon the living Resurrected Christ:

A Quick Little Prayer

We were taking a walk/hike recently and were a little over a couple miles into it, when I started feeling pain in my foot. I took off the boots I was wearing—which usually aren’t a problem—to find I was just beginning to get a blister, which is quite the nightmare for a decent lengthy jaunt like this. My foot was inflamed and irritated in a particular spot, but a full blister hadn’t formed yet.

We were close to the ocean, so we headed over to the beach, going down some stairs, so I could soak my foot in the cold water for a bit to help soothe it and possibly stop the inflammation. I was concerned, however, of putting my boots back on afterwards since it would just keep making the area worse and cause a full blister to form.

I was hoping that it might be possible to walk back on the sand with bare feet since we had a considerable distance to get back to the car… about 2.5 miles.

However, the tide had come way up and that was not going to be possible since there were quite a few cliffs on the way. The waves would soon be slamming into the cliffs and would be impassable. I was trying to think of what to do: Going back up and taking a route to walk back on streets with bare feet for that long could cause other foot problems.

I had the thought, what if I could find some abandoned flip flops on the beach? People sometimes leave stuff at the beach…however, because of the high tide there wasn’t much sand or beach left at all… but I still scoured the area anyway, but to no avail.

Even if I did find some flip flops, the hope of getting the right size—I have pretty big feet at size 13— was a quite the long shot.

I went back in the water soaking my feet again, praying what to do and just prayed a quick little prayer: “Lord, I could really use some old, abandoned flip flops right now…”

I turned around to walk back towards the stairs and there was a pair of old flip flops sitting right there… I was blown away! …I had JUST looked right there in that spot a moment before … what?… whoa!

I was flabbergasted… the Holy Spirit touched me as I picked them up… amazingly they were the right size too! My mind being blown, all I could do was thank the Lord!

I cleaned my feet and put on the flip flops and started heading back… I was able to get back to our car without any further pain or injury and avoided getting a full-blown blister... hallelujah!

I remember our old buddy Harald Bredesen— a friend, a mentor, and one of the fathers of the Charismatic Renewal— who used to say : “When do miracles happen? Usually when you need one.” Thank you, Lord! 

Jesus rose from the grave to give us eternal life and life more abundantly in this present time. He answers some prayers in unexpected ways that sometimes blow our minds.

Most mind-blowing of all though is that He went to the cross and paid the price for our sins and then rose from the dead so that we could spend eternity with Him.

As we reflect this Easter, it is important to realize the brevity of life and that eternity awaits after the final curtain. Believing on Christ and His atonement means we get to spend it in Heaven.

 Jesus did the ultimate miracle when He rose from the dead on the third day to give us life eternally after He died in our place on the Cross. This is Good News to be reflected on at this time of year, and it is also something to be shared with others when the Lord opens up the doors.

Share the Good News where the Lord gives you opportunity and continue to look to Christ  for more blessings and miracles to come your way.

A Holy Ghost Ski Story with a St. Patrick Twist

https://youtu.be/6Hq_u0zS6QY

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I remember our friend Lonnie Frisbee used to share different stories about some of the ways that the Lord would lead him into divine appointments and ministry situations at times… 

Interestingly enough Lonnie Frisbee’s Funeral was on St. Patrick's Day which seems significant in that they were both radical missionary evangelists, but whose histories have often been misunderstood.

Those divine appointment and divine leading stories Lonnie shared were inspiring, as is the story of the Real St. Patrick.

A Holy Ghost Ski Story with a St. Patrick Twist 

Last year we discerned the Lord leading us to just head out east… eventually towards Colorado with some stops on the way, we felt that the Lord was going to do something… wasn’t sure what though.

After some stops we eventually made our way towards Colorado.

As we crossed the border into Colorado we got a phone call from an old pastor friend of ours that invited us to come and speak at his church in Colorado Springs.

We hadn’t been to his church in two years and though we had written him a number of months earlier we had never heard anything back.

It was quite divine timing to receive that call right as we drove into Colorado.

We had some free time since we were already there in the state way before the service to do some stuff in between the coming service.

We took a little time to do some skiing in those awesome Colorado Rockies and then headed over to Colorado Springs.

It worked out that the day we were to preach at their “Missionary Sunday” service which was on St Patrick's Day last year.

We shared some mission stories from the book of Acts and some of our mission adventures and the story of The Real St. Patrick who was a missionary led by God’s Spirit to preach the gospel to the Irish. Which was followed by us praying for a bunch of people and especially some young men in the service who got touched powerfully. The Lord was releasing an empowering, especially for evangelism, upon their lives.

We also ministered at the YWAM base in Denver to some young people preparing for missions later on.

A little later on from that we were doing a little more skiing and it was warm enough to do a bike ride afterwards. 

We returned to the ski village after the bike ride as well as skiing earlier on, coming back quite famished, after all that exercise in the cold weather. 

It had gotten late and the village had the appearance of a ghost town as everything was closed and no one was around.

I sat down on a bench while Mercedes went to use the restroom and I noticed a bag next to me that had a bunch of food that had been boxed up in it. 

The place was deserted and we sat there for a while checking our phones etc…nobody ever came around for the food.

I finally took a look inside and realized it was a bunch of Irish food that had been boxed up from a restaurant as a to go order that had never been touched.

We waited quite a bit longer, hanging out for a while and still there was no one around and no one was obviously ever returning for this.

I felt an impression from the Lord “I have provided….”

It was so much food that we couldn't even eat it all. The next day we decided to finish it off at the little motel we were at. Downstairs they had some tables and a kitchen in the back.

One of the women who worked there actually heated up the Irish Stew for us that was left and actually gave us some really nice bread to go with it.

The Lord opened a door to begin witnessing to her and I ended up using the story of the real St Patrick as a bridge to share the Gospel with her and plant some seeds and pray for her and God touched her heart.

I then noticed that her name was Patricia… It all then hit me: 

Wow ! We're sitting here eating divinely supplied Irish Stew while sharing the story of the real St. Patrick to a woman named Patricia—the feminized version of Patrick—a little later after that divine appointment in Colorado where we had that divine timing to preach and minister about the real St. Patrick.

I felt the Lord emphasizing through all this: 

The story of the real St Patrick can be a bridge to share the Gospel! Especially with those who might have a religious background but haven’t received Christ. It is important to share with others that the Lord calls us into a relationship with Him through His Son Jesus Christ so we can have that promise and security of eternal life.

It helps sometimes to find bridges as a way to share the Gospel.

The Holy Spirit empowers us to be witnesses, and the story of St Patrick can be a bridge and is a good tool to use at the appropriate times, to help share with those who need the Gospel.

Ministry Update: Fall-Winter 2025

We recently returned from a two-month mission trip to Europe where we ministered in three different countries. We are thankful for the opportunity to minister in Europe once again after having experienced a hiatus due to the pandemic, as well as some other factors, including our son Patrick getting married last year. 

 

Europe 

We ministered in the countries of England, Germany, and France, along with visiting some historical sites and other places along the way where we shot some videos on different aspects of Christian History.

Running Before We Hit the Ground 

The Lord was already at work while we were on our way to Europe. We had divine appointments with 2 different Uber drivers when our flights were rerouted by the airline. What looked like a hassle turned into divinely orchestrated opportunities of witnessing to, and praying for, two different drivers who had to get us to and from rerouted situations: Our first flight out of the OC was delayed messing up our connection, so the airline sent us up to LAX for a different flight and had a driver get us up there. 

We ended up sharing the Gospel with the driver and then praying for him on the way to LAX and when we landed in London, we had a driver who was from Kosovo. When we told him that we had been to Kosovo on a mission trip before—he was surprised since not many people go there—and we ended up witnessing to him and praying for him too! The Lord worked out the rerouting for good!

England 

We ministered in London at Ark of God Church with Pastor Daudet and the Holy Spirit’s presence was evident as both of us took turns preaching, and then as we prayed for people, the Lord brought an outpouring, with many experiencing a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit, as well as having a few people receive and recommit themselves to Christ! 

The pastor himself also got deeply ministered to, and greatly encouraged—I felt led at the end of the message to share about how some of the leaders who ministered in the Argentine revival had to sow and sow and sow, as well as suffer with extremely small beginnings, (we know that drill too!) for many, many years and some for some decades, before the Lord brought forth a harvest—the pastor took to the microphone afterwards to share how much that had ministered to him and touched his life.

We were also blessed to receive some powerful prophetic words of encouragement ourselves from some of the prophetic people who were there at that particular meeting in London! Hallelujah!

 

Germany

Our time in Germany included continually ministering, regularly in some capacity, for around nine days straight. We ministered at two different Sunday services at Giessen International Church with Pastors Helmuth and Adriana as well as preaching at Frankfurt International Church with Pastors Tony and Sarah. We were also teaching at a number of different meetings during the week in Giessen, doing 6 meetings altogether, this along with meeting with different people, and sharing and praying with them. We also were able to get to visit some nearby historical sites that involved the Reformation and filmed some historical videos while there as well.

 

The Holy Spirit moved powerfully as we ministered in each and every meeting bringing many into a fresh experience and encounter with God, filling, empowering, renewing, and healing, as well as having some who rededicated themselves to Christ or received Christ for the first time, which included a young man who had come fairly recently from Iran that happened to get unexpectedly and radically touched by God’s power and was overcome by the presence of the Lord and he ended up giving his life to Christ! Hallelujah! We received numerous testimonies from other people of how their hearts were filled, healed, transformed, and renewed!

 

The Church in Giessen is next to an International University, so many of those coming are new to the church and many are fairly new believers. A youth meeting where we ministered and led some worship at, had a number of testimonies come forth about the Lord bringing a deep infilling and healing to many hearts. In fact, one young lady shared how she got a revelation from the Holy Spirit that she needed to forgive her father who had been absent from her life…she had never thought of this before…which brought forth a release of freedom! Praise the Lord! There was also a young French lady who had just arrived there in town right as we began to minister that got powerfully filled with the Holy Spirit when we prayed for her! Glory!

 

It was also a blessing to share in some meetings about Martin Luther and The Reformation, especially while in the land of The Reformation. This included sharing how Martin Luther experienced and then taught about God’s grace so profoundly, as well as saying “that we need to be continually baptized in the Holy Spirit—the rest of our lives—so we don’t get pulled back into the world or unbelief.” (Quote from Martin Luther.) We had numerous people tell us they were blessed and encouraged, saying they don’t hear about this subject as much as you’d expect in Germany. Back in 2017 when we were in Wittenberg, Germany for the 500-year anniversary of The Reformation, we got the sense that the Holy Spirit was stirring up something in our hearts in regard to Germany. It’s a blessing to have begun to experience the revelation the Lord was giving us back then.

 

France 

 

The Lord’s power was demonstrated in our weakness in France in the towns of Tours and Marcon. We had an exceptionally powerful move of the Holy Spirit while ministering in Tours, where we ministered in two different church services. The Holy Spirit filled, empowered, renewed, and brought some healing too at both Ciel Ouvert with Pastor Alpha and CDLR with Pastors Pete and Gwyneth. 

 

A powerful outpouring spontaneously took place on some kids in the morning church service. There were about 8 kids aged about 6-13 that were touched mightily by the Holy Spirit with tears streaming down their faces and hands lifted as they were overcome by the Lord’s presence! It was a glorious demonstration of the verse “His strength is made perfect in our weakness.” 2 Cor. 12:9.

 

We had experienced a lot of Spiritual Warfare coming into France and I got almost no sleep the night before preaching in two different meetings, along with interpretation challenges in the early meeting. I was feeling the weakness of the physical body …. When we were just praying for some people after the message and then out of nowhere a kid by us started getting touched by the Holy Spirit. I began specifically praying for him and it just accelerated, then other kids came up and we started praying for them and it just began to multiply and eventually turned into a powerful outpouring on the kids as more came up and joined in and quite a number got powerfully filled with the Holy Spirit.

 

We had a powerful move of the Holy Spirit in the later meeting in the other church too! We know it is all by the grace of God whose power is perfected in our weakness… I was tired and laden down from the lack of sleep but the Lord went above and beyond in our weakest moment, all by His grace and power! Lonnie Frisbee used to experience children getting touched by the Holy Spirit in some meetings now and then. He talked about what a miraculous thing it is; we have been stoked to experience it now and then too! It seems to happen sometimes when you least expect it!

 

Speaking of Lonnie Frisbee, we shared later in the week in Marcon, ministering with the fellowship pastored there by the Gotte’s, sharing about the Jesus People Revival and Lonnie Frisbee. We had a blessed prayer time afterwards with the Holy Spirit moving amongst us and touching and filling and ministering to most of those who came as we prayed with the people some of whom were actually touched by that Jesus People Revival back in the day themselves! 

 

We had a blessed time of fellowship with the Gotte’s afterwards sharing about how the Holy Spirit has been leading us lately and brought us back to Europe and kept it on our radar screen even when we didn’t get a chance to go there for a little while!

 

Spiritual Warfare - Victories in the Midst of Battles

 

We experienced some spiritual warfare as we ministered and traveled which happens when the Lord is working and moving. However, the Lord turned difficult situations into victories more than once. 

 

When we first flew into France after ministering in England, we had a difficult flight on a rough low budget airline. Blank expressions were the usual response to the most basic questions! Then we had to run about two miles to get to the boarding gate, after enduring miles of road works and traffic on the way to the airport in England and had not had a chance to get food nor had eaten much that day.  

 

We landed in France starved… only to find everything closed. Our stomachs were growling but nothing was available. We checked into the place we were staying and nothing was available there either. We figured it was going to be a long hungry night… then the heater broke in our room. 

 

We called the front desk to have it fixed. The guy they sent asked if we needed anything else and we asked if there was any way to get something to eat. He said, No, everything is closed. But then he thought for a moment and said, Well, let me actually check something out for you and come back. He came back with some food he was able to wrestle up, yay! The wild thing was he said, This is my gift to you, there is no charge. “Every good gift comes from above…” Friends who live in France said that this is extremely unusual in itself, but especially there in France! It was clearly a sign of the Lord’s care and provision in the midst of difficulty! Hallelujah!

 

It happened again when we drove into France from Germany after ministering. We needed to stay somewhere as it was too far to our destination.  We booked a place but when we arrived the door to get into the hotel was locked… we tried and tried calling the number provided but got no answer. We weren’t sure what to do other than pray. After about 40 minutes stuck outside praying in the cold a couple showed up who were staying there and let us in the locked front door, then they also helped us find the little package for our reservation that was sitting right there with the key to the room… it was a mystery what had happened to the hotel manager…? 

 

The next morning, the manager of the hotel showed up and asked why we didn’t call her… we explained that we tried calling the number numerous times… she looked at the number on our phone and it was the right number. She said she always comes over right away when late arrivals come and call her and she lets them in… she said this was a complete mystery that she for sure should have gotten the calls… there was no logical explanation as to why she didn’t get any of our calls? We knew it was spiritual warfare hitting when we were tired and right in between ministering in Germany and France.

 

The Lord turned it around for a blessing, though, as she felt bad that we had to wait out in the cold and gave us a free breakfast… which was pretty expensive … and was another little miracle! 

We’ve had incidents in hotels in the past in France where they did absolutely nothing in response to a problem so we were glad how the Lord intervened and turned these things around for good.

 

A Little R & R

 

Constantly moving and sleeping in unfamiliar conditions, along with long hours traveling, along with the spiritual warfare that inevitably hits, taxes the body and soul. We have learned from those who went before us to take breaks and get some R & R to avoid burning out. We got a chance to get down to the coast for a few days to get in a few activities including a little bit of surfing! Taking time to get refreshed, renews the body and soul. It also opens doors at times to witness and share Christ with people who may never darken the door of a church.

 

New Videos 

 

We were able to shoot, edit, and upload a couple videos even as we traveled including on the subjects of “Martin Luther at the Wartburg Castle” and one on location in Plymouth, England on “The Mayflower Pilgrims” who made the first permanent Colony in the New World. Check them out on YouTube at the Grace World Mission page: www.youtube.com/graceworldmission

 

Quick Review

 

We were also blessed to minister in Colorado, Salinas, San Diego, and Orange County, amongst other places last year, as well as doing a number of online meetings, along with experiencing numerous divine appointments. You can read more about those blessed ministry times and moments here:
