Praise Report:
God has provided a van! Just last week, Dan and I drove to NC to meet with the principal and another administrator at Cary Christian School in Cary, NC about borrowing one of their 15 passenger vans for our summer tour. We had a great talk with them, filled out some paperwork and let us borrow a van for the summer, as the school does not use them when school is not in session! And they said that we could take the van the next day, a week before school ends, which saved Dan and I a trip back to NC. I love our Heavenly Father and how he provides! Thank you all who have prayed for us and for a van!
In between writing the scripts for the dramas, practicing for the Burning Ember tour and directing the practices for our team. Dan has had the opportunity to do some things for the first time!
In Kyrgyzstan, God called Dan to say yes to giving to anyone who asked based off the verse in the sermon on the mount. "Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you." Matthew 5: 42 As God continued to speak to him through this verse, he realized that this verse did not only mean money but meant whenever anyone asks anything! Shortly after this revelation, Dan was asked to teach on the Nature and Character of God and the Belief tree for our YWAM DC staff and to videograph a wedding of a friend. Feeling the nudge of HS, reminding him to give to anyone who asks, he said yes to both! And he did an amazing job with them! Enjoy some pictures that we got of them.
Dan teaching one morning for YWAM DC staff on Nature and Character of God and the Belief Tree. Basic concept of the belief tree is that everything we do in life is based on our roots (beliefs). If our roots are solid and based on God's word then our values (the trunk), our decisions (branches) and actions (fruit) will all line up with the Word of God. So when we are looking at a action of ourselves or another person, we need to not only correct that action but need to go back to the belief system of the person and make sure the belief is aligned with the Word of God. He did a great job teaching it.
Video man for Ikaika and Noelle's Wedding
Ready to go for the busy day! Can you find Dan in the picture below?
Pali and Alissa Matiya, who was in DC for the weekend from Fla, helped to interpret for the wedding so I could be on call if Dan needed anything! During the ceremony, it started to rain. So I got a umbrella and got to move with Dan to hold the umbrella to protect the camera. :) I was so proud that I could help!
Dan is finishing up the editing for the wedding video of the wedding, which he has really enjoyed, before we fly out to Chicago for my sister, Tiffany's wedding, next week Saturday. We are looking forward to spending some quality time with my family and celebrating this day with Tiffany and Derek.
