Breakthrough 45
"From the Core to the Uttermost"
Jan, Feb and beginning of March
Currently, our team is joining with the whole YWAM DC team in "Breakthough 45". We meet 3 hours a night for a corporate time of worship and prayer. As the ASL ministry team, we have been also meeting together daily to share what God has been doing and pray for various Deaf ministries around the world and the Deaf community.
Below is a summary of this season written by Jason Hershey. It is such a joy to have this time with the whole community, allowing God to heal the deepest parts of us and praying for the nations as our inheritance!
Psalms 2:6-7 encapsulates the heart of this upcoming prayer season. "I will tell of the decree of the Lord: The Lord said to me, "You are my Son, today I have begotten you. Ask of me and I will make the nations your heritage and the ends of the earth your possession."
God has been speaking to us about going to the core with Abba. This is about inner healing in the depths of our being, where the Holy Spirit is given full reign to bring us into our full destiny as sons and daughters of God. This means nothing is out of bounds for God to come and begin to expose and confront, but ultimately to forgive and to heal. This journey to the core for each one of us, will change the whole world. It is about developing the House of Prayer, Abba's House, in our inner man.
Equally, last fall, God began speaking about the destiny of all nations to know Him. A jealousy for America's apostolic call to preach the Gospel to all nations began to rise in me. Is this not part of the revival we are praying for America? That America would be a blessing to all nations, especially Israel?
Similar to the Nazi regime and communism, there will come a day when the power of the deception of Islam will be broken. There will be a prayer movement that will tip the bowls of intercession to these ends. This will result in a harvest of incomparable magnitude. Breakthrough 45 will lean into this worldwide breakthrough. God is Father. Jesus is His Son. There is an inheritance.
Short-term trips: Stepping Out and Pouring Out
March
The month of March is an month filled with short-term mission trips developing relationships, stepping out of our comfort zones, learning from the wisdom and experience of others and investing in others! Below are information about the three trips we have planned!
Trip #1: Dan to Kyrgyzstan
March 10th-March 26th
21 day prayer and fast for revival for countries in Central Asia
Dan will be joining Jason Hershey and two others on our team with others around the globe for a 21 day prayer and fast for the countries in Central Asia. Jason had it in his heart to go, and asked the team to pray about going and asked Dan specifically to join the team. We prayed as a couple, and sensed a YES in both of our spirits for him to go! Dan is excited about spending more time learning from pioneers in missions such as Jason Hershey and other leaders who will be attending. They will have a full schedule praying for revival in a Central Asia countries, such as Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan,Turkey and more. The conference starts March 1st and goes until March 21st, however our team will be arriving 10 days late due to Breakthrough 45 ending on March 8th. This will be Dan's first time to Asia and this part of the world so he is very excited!
Praise Report!
God moved on one of our supporters hearts, and Dan's trip to Kyrgyzstan is fully paid for! Dan's airplane tickets, housing and food for the 16 days is fully covered! This was completely unexpected but a HUGE blessing! Our Dad is a good Dad! We are so grateful for each one of our supporters! Truly would not be able to do what we do without you!
Trip #2: Carole YWAM Base Directors Conference
March 17th - 20th
Gathering of YWAM base directors of the Northeast region
When Jason Hershey and Dan are in Kyrgyzstan, there is a base directors gathering of all the YWAM base directors in the NE region of the United States. Jason usually attends this gathering however as he will not be in the US. He asked Kimberlee, his wife and me, to attend to represent the YWAM base in DC. It was a such honor to be asked to go and share what God is doing in our community in DC.
I am also so excited about spending some time with Kimberlee! Kimberlee and I will be driving to PA to drop off her amazing children with their aunt and uncle and cousins for the 4 days and then driving to the gathering in NY. Since, Dan and I have moved out of the Hershey house into base community living, I have had the opportunity to see Kimberlee about once every two weeks but I am super excited about having an extended amount of time with this amazing godly woman and great friend.
Trip #3: ASL team to Universities
March 10th-23rd
Investing and pouring out into Deaf students at East Coast Universities
During Dan's two week trip to Kyrgyzstan, our team (with newly added Brandon, who is joining us in DC again at the start of March! YAY!) will be prayer walking, continuing and building relationships with Deaf students at East Coast universities. The team will be going to Gallaudet University, here in Washington DC as well as making a trip up north to RIT and VFCC during Gallaudet's spring break March 15th-23rd. The plans for the trip is still being finalized but the team is so excited to see old friends and meet new ones at these universities and share what God has been doing with them!
