Tour Update #4 (Victorville, California)




We have had an amazing time these past three weeks on tour. We have seen the Lord do tremendous things and radically change people’s lives. It has been and continues to be such a privilege to be used the way we have been.

This past week we have been in Victorville California, also known as the High Desert. We have been with Pastor Randy and Tammy Howard, who have ministered many times at CCK and have become very closely partnered with us.

Overall we have had an absolutely incredibly time here, the hospitality and love of the people here at the Gate Church is huge. It really feels like being at home here. For the most part we have an incredibly successful ministry stop. Everyone walked away with leaving an impartation as well as receiving as well. Tyson was one of the luckiest who not only received an impartation but also 5 large, shiny staples up the right side of his skull. Gotta love hiking in the desert!

We had a chance to do a Sunday evening service and their Wednesday night youth service. We performed Alive Again twice and also got to do their church’s favorite, Kingdom Rhythm!! Evan even got a chance to get his preach on at the youth service. He delivered an awesome message about what it means to be consecrated and the option of partnering with God or merely just being a pawn He can use. It was powerful!

Here are some of the highlights of our ministry times in Victorville:

One of the coolest things we experienced here was fulfillment of some of the words given last year. Kaleb, Anthea and Charlli met a man last year who had to recently leave his wife because of alcoholism and self-abuse. It was incredibly hard for him to do, but ultimately he had no other choice. But when we walked into the church Sunday morning, I ran into the same guy with a smile from ear to ear sitting with his wife. They are totally back together and she is in a great process of recovery and healing. This was such an answer to prayer and a radical faith builder!

That same night Kaleb also did a prophetic painting for a couple named Ryea and Angela. He really felt a clear word that the Lord was speaking faith over them in a really deep way. He got a picture of a man standing at the end of a boardwalk. The only thing in front of them was a vast sky covered in clouds and light bursting through. He spoke over them faith to step out even when the clearly marked road ends. Come to find out Ryea had been out of a job for a year and been trying incredibly hard to find work. The only offer they could find was way off in Texas. This has been an incredibly hard decision for them to make because all their family lives in Victorville and neither of them want to leave. From what it appears, this is really their only option, but they said the painting and the word so spoke clearly to them to not give up faith or hope and wait for a clear word from the Lord, instead of just jumping on a seemingly good opportunity.

Seth had an encounter with a guy where he felt the lord tell him that he had a Spirit of Jonathan and that he was one who is called to be a protector and a visionary. Seth approached him and asked him his name. The guy looked up and said his name was Jonathan. Seth stepped back a little surprised and just started laughing. It opened up an awesome opportunity for Seth to prophesy over him and just speak into his life.

Jake Dinsmore had a great encounter with a newly engaged couple who he felt were struggling with taking the next steps into their relationship. He really felt that it had to be with old relationships and just a lot of hurt that arose out of them. He approached the couple and boldly shared what he was feeling. Instantly the woman started crying and began to explain some of what happened. Jake was able to really reach out to them and pray over them and their relationship for healing, direction and blessing. They were very touched and left with a lot of faith and expectation for what’s to come.

Thank you all so much for your continued prayers and support. We continue on to Oklahoma City and then to New Orleans for a Microsoft show. We all look forward to coming home soon too! Miss you all!
