Ramadan is the time of fasting for the Muslim world during the 9th month of their lunar calendar year.  This year, it will be from August 1-30.  The name Ramadan stems from words that mean intense heat and dryness, because during this season they seek to burn away their sins through fasting and giving up pleasures. Their fast is from sunrise to sunset with the last 10 days considered the most blessed.

For the past two decades, Christians around the world have joined in on this fast in order to pray for the ultimate blessing of salvation to come upon the Muslim world. There have been testimonies of Muslims seeing Jesus in visions and giving their lives over to Christ during this season as well. Please join us in prayer and fasting as we seek to bring true freedom to the nations.

We had an amazing time in the presence of God at our retreat this past weekend. It was a powerful, intimate time together. I loved praying, seeking and worshipping our awesome Savior Jesus Christ as a family. Healing, freedom and restoration within a couple of short days. God is the Best. I fell deeper in love with the OEM family :)

Thanks again for visiting my new site. I updated a couple of things recently: 

1. I created a separate "Sermons" section where you can download the sermon outline and the MP3 of the sermon. I only have a few uploaded at the moment and hopefully as I can squeeze in the time, I'll put the rest of the sermons there as well. 

2. I uploaded some more pictures in the "Photos" section of the website. 

Let me know how you enjoy the changes and if you have any suggestions on making the website better. Thanks again and God bless you :)

I had the incredible honor of speaking to the OEM Joy Zone in Dogok (our 4th and 5th graders) during their DTS training. They are currently preparing to go to Thailand on a mission trip to Khaodee Orphanage. These kids in Joy Zone are so beautiful and precious. I instantly fell in love with them :) Tonight, I shared about children who are enslaved around the world and our role of loving them by seeking ways to set them free. The result? Our youngest abolitionists! They are only 11 years old, but they will do their part! They will write to chocolate companies, asking them to change their practices and pray for the children to be set free. We also had a precious time of praying for each other at the end of the night too. Pastor Eunice and our Joy Zone teachers are doing an amazing job of raising them up in the ways of the Lord. May God bless them and use each one of them powerfully for His glory to change this world! The photo above is a small picture of the youngest abolitionists in OEM :) I'm so proud of them! 

Congrats to Pyeongchang for winning the 2018 Winter Olympics! But most large sporting events have an increase in sex trafficking for that city. Korea, we have 7 years to make sure our Olympics will be different. We will pray down strongholds and change this nation to be free from trafficking and slavery. We will shine light into darkness until that darkness disappears. I declare freedom over Korea in Jesus name!

Welcome to my new website and online home. I didn't think it would take me this long to move past my previous blog that I began in 2004, but better late than never :) I hope to keep some of the resources that I've been able to offer the Body of Christ more organized through this website. My prayer (I really do pray for my blog ministry!) is that salvation would come to those who do not know Christ and that those who do know Christ would be strengthened in their faith. So just by visiting, you will be covered in my prayers :) Thanks again and please lift up a prayer for me too before you go. God bless you.
