Dear Friends,

I am never quite sure how to address a group
of people who we have met and are passionate about the Kingdom of God. 
Some of you are longtime friends and we share a history of pursuing
Jesus, others are newer friends who have been partnered in our
conviction that the Holy Spirit is building a foundation for a revival
in the Northwest, some are friends and ministry leaders in other
countries throughout the Pacific Rim region, and still others are
actually related to us! Somehow, a salutation such as "Dear Friends"
just doesn't ring right.  A few weeks ago I sent an e-mail to a few
folks with this greeting that pretty much describes you: 


Dear Lovers of Supernatural Things of God...
I am writing this e-mail to you because:


    1.  You  love supernatural signs and wonders.


                2.  You are not content with church business as usual.


                                                         3.  You are committed to relational Christianity, not just in theory but in practice.




I am writing this e-mail to specifically ask you to pray for
Carlene and I over the next few weeks.  If you received our recent
update you know that I am headed to South Korea and Vladivostok Russia
for 15 days beginning October 13 through October 28. Jesus said we do
not have because we do not ask.  I am want to ask for:


Carlene
1
Wisdom and revelation concerning all the details that surround
Carlene's responsibility for her mother, Jean DeLeo.  Because Carlene
is a primary caregiver, we want to make the best decisions for her
mother's health and ongoing therapy as well as balancing other
responsibilities.

2 Traveling safety along the I-5 corridor between Bremerton and Portland.
3 Balance between ministry, family responsibilities, and rest

4 Continued health for her physical body.

1 Smooth and painless airline connections, passport and visa paperwork, and no
travel delays.

2 Holy Spirit inspired connections with pastors and leaders.
3 Sensitivity to the Holy Spirit for the right message of encouragement with the right timing.
4 Perfect health and physical protection in everyplace, and in every situation.


Recently, I was asking the Lord for increased favor in
the Pacific Rim regions.  We even printed new name cards with a
satellite picture of the "Ring of Fire".  



The Pacific Ring of Fire is an area of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions encircling the basin of the Pacific Ocean
We believe it is strategic, both naturally and spiritually.  Within one
week we met key leaders from Alaska and an invitation to minister in 4
Russian cities just a few miles from the North Korean and China borders.


Carlene and I want to thank you for your friendship and support.
This trip is a step of faith, and we are blessed to partner with you in
this adventure.  I'd will send updates as these days unfold.
