Dear friends and family,
I trust this letter finds you well, that God is moving in your lives, and awakening your hearts to the reality of His love and delight for you. Many of you know that I have felt the call to full-time service in the Lord’s work since I was 17 years old (now 22 years old), not knowing at first what that would look like. Throughout the course of many months, the Lord has revealed the timing and purpose of His call that I have yearned for and oftentimes prayed about. I have said yes to the Lord, with great excitement and joy. This is a call for me to go full-time with the Resting Place as an Intercessory Missionary. I’m writing to you to share about this calling and what it means for my life and how you can get involved. Please take the time to read the following information about the vision of Resting Place and the vision that the Lord has laid upon my heart.
Resting Place is a House of Prayer and Revival Center that is committed to building a 24/7 Prayer Room. We are also committed to developing Schools of Ministry, a School of Worship, and a School of the Arts centered on the place of Night and Day Prayer and bringing Heaven to Earth. Mike Bickle likens the Houses of Prayer to the “air support” that were sent out before our troops hit the beaches in WWII. The 24-hour “prayer furnace” of nonstop worship and intercession clears the way for the ground assault. For centuries, the body of Christ has sent out missionaries (ground troops) without the air support of these 24-hour prayer furnaces. Now is the time, and the Lord’s plan is unfolding perfectly.
Currentlyat Resting Place I serve on the Senior Leadership Team, I am the Director of the Prophecy Rooms and Healing Rooms, and I help lead the night watch (prayer sets from 12am - 3am every night). I carry out 40+ hours every week, helping to bring direction in administrative work, prayer teams, and worship teams. I participate in outreaches and partner in with different ministries in the region and abroad. I do many things, but my main role and calling is to be in the place of prayer, taking my stand on the wall as a Watchman and Levite before the Lord.
My passion is to see a Kingdom minded generation live and walk in the supernatural power of God. To see ones move in the promises of God and discover their true identity in God. Our birthright as Christians in the Kingdom of God is to see daily miracles and the extraordinary power of God worked through our hands and feet (Mark 16:20). This Kingdom is at hand and it is also within reach, though we may not see it with our natural eyes. We must remember that what we see in the natural is only temporal, but the unseen realm is eternal (2 Cor 4:18) and that the glory of God is to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter (Prov 25:2). Some things are only discovered by the desperate who search it out (Mat 5:6). This highly valued Kingdom-attitude is what marks the heart of true Kingdom royalty. The God who put the gold in the rocks brought His Kingdom with Him, but left it unseen. Our abundant life is hidden in the Kingdom realm (Col 3:3). And only faith can make the withdrawals. I desire to see a people begin to make withdrawals!!
I humbly request your participation in what God is doing in this region and in my life. Not everyone is called to do what I am doing. Some are “senders” others are “sent.”No matter what part we play, together we can cause a greater affect upon the Nations. I invite you to ask the Lord if joining me in this work is something He is calling you to do.
My commitment to my partners:
To pray for you, your family, and any other special requests you may have.
To send you ministry updates from Resting Place and personal updates.
To extend an open invitation to visit Resting Place for spiritual refreshing, impartation, and equipping.
To live a simple “fasted” lifestyle based upon God’s ordained principles.
Those who choose to partner with me as an intercessory missionary can do so in two ways:
Financial Support
Prayer Support
I am not looking for my supporters to give money out of obligation or guilt, but for ones who will commit to an affordable, stress-free, realistic amount of money they can maintain month after month. It is my heart’s desire that it never be a burden to give, but rather a joy, just as the Lord intended it. I encourage you to pray about supporting me. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and for your prayerful support.

Until He Returns,
