Dear Family,

Things have been going good.

Today, The team and I went in to the streets as a live nativity scene to sing song to/about Jesus, to hand out hot coco, then to invite people into the kingdom of God. It was good.

Two people decided to follow Jesus today.

I spoke to a girl whom is a Jew which made it even more cool to talk with her.

I succeed in making a sheep out of card board. It stood all day and still stands to this day.

Things are getting cold here, 25 degrees.

Yes, I am living and its good.

Yep-that is all.

Love you all.

Thanksgiving pt3

Dear Family,

I have been enjoying my time with the Reeves family. They have been feeding me a lot of food... mainly with sugar. Mrs. Reeves is a home cook so all the food is well put together and very tasty. We had lasagna, cinnamon rolls, and presently some type of casserole. I have been watching a lot of awesome movies such as Horton Hears a Who, The Sound of Music, Godspell, Star Trek and presently Fly Away Home. All these movies have been awesome and refreshing.

The Sound of Music is so amazing, I love the fact that it is a long movie because it developed the characters so well! The songs were fun, catchy, very well put together.

Horton Hears a Who had great graphics and very funny. It changed my life.

Godspell was cool. I enjoyed the music and the hippie clowns dancing and singing about/to Jesus. Which says something because I normally do not like these types of "christian" films. Which Godspell was made by a Jewish man in response to Jesus Christ Supperstar, therefore it is a Jewish film...maybe Christians just cant make good films.

Ok, thanks for reading I am going to continue the movie.

Thanksgiving! pt2

Dear Family,

I am eating and enjoying the presence of a family in Pennsylvania. They are the Reeves family, they are awesome. There is a deep unity in this family that I can not quite get my head around. Their Love for one another is great, I can see it! The food is so good.

I had a moment to my self today so I took a imaginary jog through Dr Seuss' "Horton Hears a Who!". It was a very good book, I was impressed and greatly inspired by the compassion of Horton.

My favorite quotes "...some poor little person who's shaking with fear. That he'll be blow in the pool! He has no way to steer! I'll just have to save him. Because, after all, A person's a person, no matter how small."

"This," cried the Mayer, "is your town's darkest hour! The time for all Whos who have blood red to come to aid of their country!" he said. "We've GOT to make noise in great amounts! So, open your mouth, lad! For every voice counts!"

I enjoy the art of Dr. Seuss. Very simple and to the point. His books are fun and good reads when you need a light moment in your life.

Thank you for reading.

Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Family,

I love you all very much. I am grate fully to be walking this life with all. Your all an encouragement to me. Thank you for praying for my time here in Boston, for my life to develop in Boston.

I am becoming very plugged into a church named Cornerstone. I am so grate full to be in fellowship with these people whim love Jesus with all their heart and are ready to see people to come to know Jesus through love.

I am seeing the Kingdom, I am moving in it. I love it! I LOVE IT!

I am in love with Jesus, I would like to butter him up with all my care for him. He is a brilliant lad, willing to go places physically, emotionally, mentally that I may never go. He is great! He is real and He cares. The reality has not fully hit me yet and when it does I will be in His presence, most likely on my face.

When I go out I no longer say I believe in God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit because believing allows a gap, a contradiction, a lack of knowledge on my behalf but the reality of the trinity does not rely on me, it is simply real. God may move in ways I do not understand, agree with but this life is about giving myself up for his kingdom. That's just what I will do for as long as possible.

Happy thanksgiving, I love you all. Keep walking beside our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Good night.

Ive got a social life.

Dear Family,
I have a social life. It was great to speak to a bunch of people that are excited to get to know you. I am so grate full to be running into people who are interested in my life. I feel human once again, mm social life. I am so excited to hang out with these people once again.

Thank you for your prayers. Life has been ok, I am working on a lot of art. I still need to post art on this blog-spot but I lack resources to get them up.... so soon, hopefully.

Love you all.

A Re-post of my first post. Building Giants in Boston.

Dear Reader,
I am calling this blog site Building Giants in Boston because last year in Belfast Ireland there was a Pastor speaking about being near giants, growing as giants in Christ, and raging war against giants that are adversaries of the Christ.

In DTS last year God sealed in me a heart for dicipleship, not some weak dicipleship but hardcore living together, learning how to be living sacrifices before our living God. Walk with God hand and hand, come together to infect Boston for the Kingdom of God. Not starting anything new, just coming alongside God to be servants for building His kingdom in the hearts of man.

I hope my presence in Boston will help the process of building Giants for Christ. Pray for my heart to be right before God and that I may speak when need to and shut up when need to. It will be Jesus that will get me in trouble, not my self. Pray for any who will be aside me in the future to have an open heart before God and obedience too.

I am excited to move with Trinity. Trinity, your beautiful, keep radiating over and through my life. Keep nudging my heart, I think I am almost awake for you.

Psalms 1:1-3 NLT
1 Oh, the joys of those who do not
follow the advice of the wicked,
or stand around with sinners,
or join in with mockers.
2 But they delight in the law of the Lord,
meditating on it day and night.
3 They are like trees planted along the riverbank,
bearing fruit each season.
Their leaves never wither,
and they prosper in all they do.


I got this scripture in writting this blog. While reading, this is what stuck out the most.
"They are like trees planted along the riverbank,
bearing fruit each season.
Their leaves never wither,
and they prosper in all they do."

hm... I'll leave it at that. I do not know what else to write.

Ok, enjoy your selves.

your companion in Christ, Jordan

Broken phone, broken connection!

Dear Family,

Amazing thing has happened this week, my phone broke! LOL, I will need to get a new one but I am not too sure when. Until then email me.

I am playing with art still. I just bought the new switchfoot, flyleaf album and it is amazing! Both very good and would recommend you to buy them. They are so inspiring to fight for love and live for Jesus.

Yeah, Rock on mates!

art

Dear family,

I am working on a new art style and it is going alright. Its all lines and designs with vibrant colors. I am looking more at graphic arts. Its been good, changing and a extreme pull from my messy art in the past. I am finding my voice in art.

Recently I have been sensing God leading me to fast food for 25 days. I think I may do it in December, not to sure. Please pray for me and how I should go about this process.

Thanks for reading.

Art History.

Vorticism: (1912 - 1915)

English art movement, Vorticism is sometimes called the English version of Cubism. Founded by abstract artist Percy Wyndham Lewis, members of the movement focused on themes that incorporated modern machinery and industry. The movement was a mixture of Futurism and Cubism, lasting from 1912-1915. The movement began growing in 1913 when the Rebel Art Centre was founded, formed by Wyndham Lewis, Edward Wadsworth, Frederick Etchells, and Cuthbert Hamilton. The group’s name lasted only several months, later re-titled Vorticism by Ezra Pound. Two Vorticist manifestoes were published in the movement’s newspaper, Blast, in 1914 and 1915.

Vorticists rejected traditional academic institutions and looked to the future with fear. They recognized the power of technology, particularly the machine and anticipated that it would result in a bleak, purposeless life for humankind. Vorticism was the first English art movement dedicated to abstraction. Artists worked primarily in two-dimensional form, employed the fragmentation and multiple viewpoints of Cubism. Their work was defined with flat, bold colors, and simple geometric shapes.

Vorticism died out at the onset of World War I since many of its artists enlisted in the armed forces. In addition, there were disagreements within the group at the end of 1915 that also contributed to its demise.

The Nazarenes: (1809 - )

The Nazarenes was a group of German artists that formed in the early 19th century and whose goal was to revive Christian art. They intended to do this by returning to the paintings of Italian Renaissance artists, notably Perugino and Raphael. The group’s origins were in Vienna, where J.F. Overbeck and Franz Pforr founded the Brotherhood of St. Luke in 1809. The group then traveled to Rome, set themselves up in a monastery, and attracted several new members. They lived in a communal environment, performing chores in the morning and collaborating on frescoes and other works in the afternoons. They derived their subjects only from Christian doctrines, not from nature. The group had a significant influence on the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood of the later 19th century.

Fauvism: (1898 - 1908)

Coming from the French word fauve, meaning "wild animals," Fauvism rejected traditional painting and sculpture ideals and emphasized modern concepts, notably machines and motion. Inspired by the late impressionist works of Paul Gauguin and Vincent Van Gogh who pushed the boundaries with their bold color choices, the movement took this idea a step further to include simplified design. The first Fauvist exhibition occurred in 1905.

Pointillism and Post-impressionist inspired the development of the Fauvist movement. More specifically, Fauvist’s work was derived from primitive and tribal art; also Paul Gauguin’s color choice and style. Although the movement was short-lived, it had a profound influence on the development of the Expressionists. The name Fauvism was taken from the French word the "fauves," meaning the wild beasts. This title was appropriate because of their use of uncontrolled, abrasive, and intense colors. The Fauves held their most significant exhibition at the Paris Salon d’Autumne in 1905, paving the way for Modernist movements.

The primary focus of the Fauvist movement is non-naturalistic and vibrant color. In addition to Gauguin’s influence, Vincent Van Gogh’s palette was inspirational to the Fauves. Their aim was to express emotion through color choice. Fauvism died out after 1908, when the group went separate ways, many turning to

Cubism.

EMO!

Dear Family,

By my sickness I have been very easily EMOTIONAL. I am going nuts but it is ok. I know God is working on me, cleaning my insecurities up and it is NOT EASY all the time (life this time). I have been settled back down to earth and remember to enjoy the soil once again.

I currently have received a bloody noise as I am typing this for you. Hold on.....

OK, I miss bean and cheese burritos A LOT. I miss JAMBA JUICE A LOT. I miss the beach(es) a lot.

above all I do miss you. I have not missed home like this, it is playing with my thoughts and emotion. I have to keep reminding myself that I am called to Boston and need to stay fully dedicated to this place because God would like me to party along with him here. Oh but the party is growing in days and when I sit to take a break from dancing I begin to think of you all, my friends, my family, my loved one. How it would please me to see you all once again!

My work, my play, my life, my Lover is here. He is with me and I am with Him. He is taking very good care of me and that is through some of your own personal hands and thoughts through out a day maybe.

Our Father does here all your voices whether in thought or in vocal waves, acknowledge his ears.

I recognize you all and wish the best for you.

Dear Family,

I am sick. I am dizzy and ready to throw up through the mouth or the butt. Yeah, not feeling good at all.

The good things of this week, I am beginning to act with a friend. I am so excited about this. Acting is a great thing and I am going to begin learning to become a better actor.

I have been reading a few good books. One book is called Black by Ted Dekker, Black is a well thought out book. I am impressed with the time and memory jumps within the book. Its a fun read and at the moment I would encourage anyone to read it.

Second book I am reading is a book based on the Christian history. This book goes through all of the reformer of the Church and gives a small glimpse of their theology. It is a good history lesson.

Book Three. Making Sense out of Suffering by Peter Kreeft this book is a great encouragement to me. As I read it I realize I do not need counseling, just another person seeking the answers to this crazy random awesome life.

Book Four, is by Watchman Knee The breaking of the Outer man and the releasing of the Spirit. This book is destroying me, helps me to realize how much work is still needed to be done on my heart. Its good, he talks about mental and emotional push for others agreement but that is not going to help what is needed is a spiritual touch and how that is done by the holy spirit and our spirit moving together. Its beautiful and I am eating it all up.

Yep, reading is a big part of my life at the moment and I am happy about that.

Love you all very very much.

Time is tickin away : )

Dear Family,

Things have been productive here in Boston. Art is changing and moving in to a new place that I am very glad about. I am noticing my love for juxtapose art so I am taking stencils and smoothing out the surface of my art pieces. I am very inspired at the moment by books, music and a few other artist that I have been researching.

I hope to soon get some drafts of art up soon. Keep in tune.

Thank you. Love you all.

Noticed

Dear Family,

I have great news, YWAM: BOSTON has been noticed by a few big people, a few big churches and are now being noticed by people within Boston. It is so exciting! God is on a move and we are grate full to be apart of it.

I have been realizing when i am on out reach I run more into Christians then none Christians. All the pre-christians are not read to talk yet.

I spoke with a guy, whom I believe name is Ken, he was telling me about how he thinks many people misinterpret what Jesus did for us on the cross. Jesus really died for his own sins and we (humanity) are all gods and are pure. He is in a odd place and told me that he is trying to understand how to live with the regrets of his past. He did not tell me what is wrong, he has a lot of anxiety. I comforted him with some words of encouragement and told him what I have seen of humanity and learned by Gods grace about humanity. He know the gospel but never accepted it for him self and it seemed he was not ready yet to accept it as he spoke.

Jessica, a friend from Holland spoke with a guy from Belgium, she was great full to speak to some one in dutch for the first time in awhile. The guy she spoke to is really seeking God and trying understand how to live. He and Jessica hopefully will talk soon again. Aaron spoke to the same person ad they exchanged numbers, pray for this fella.

Jessica, also prayed with a person to receive Christ. Pray he stays strong with Christ, giving and receiving love.

This last week was a good day for out reach. I am happy to have finally moved to a new place, the guys moved to a new house. It is very homey, I am in a room with three friends, next room over is another three guys, then another room on the other side is one other guy. I am really getting to know my roommates even better. : )

I woke up yesterday eager to get to know a tone of more people. Yep, I want to be the cool kid...haha NO! I just want friends!

Ok pray for my team and I, things are moving and it is exciting.

MUCH LOVE,
JORDAN

Quotes of my life...for the moment

Quotes from Making Sense Out of Suffering by Peter Kreeft,


"I get very mad at God sometimes....This is a pretty well-kept secret, especially among evangelicals and fundamentalists. I confess it not to cause scandal or to help the cause of unbelief but simply because it is true, and I believe that we always need truth just as we always need love, because those are two of the attributes of God." pg 12-13

" Still another secret, less well-kept, is that we have the same moral problem everyone else has, with a better track record only in some areas like drug addiction, murder, and suicide. But there are almost as many gluttons, gossips, adulterers, and misers among us as among anyone else, and as for the two worst sins of all, pride and hypocrisy, we set the world's record." pg 13

"The Bible the most honest book in the world, paints a terrible picture of the moral and spiritual failures of God's chosen people,the Jews, throughout their history; and Christians are their successors." pg14

"We doubt. Doubt is glorious. Only one who can doubt can believe, just as only one who can despair can hope, and only one who can hate can love." pg16

Let philosophers today pray, let philosophers shut up and let God show up, and we will soon see a new philosophy to startle the world." pg 23

I am not so crazy after all, just another human being with a heavy heart.

Good day you all,
Jordan.

Excitement!

Dear Family,

It seems to me that when I look at art, watch awesome musicians, and see great movies I quickly become filled with excitement. I know that these are ways to change thought, begin a new creative wave for others, speak truth to people and these are the things I want to do with my life. I want people to see art that will blow their minds to a new world of creativity, to hear music that will push them to new thoughts, and truth to build their lives on. I know its not my truth but Gods truth and I fear that I may misinterpret that truth at moments because I am a fallen human.

Pray for me to present a new image for art, a new expression that can ignite people to know God, love him and love others. I am sure God will use my art to speak to people about him, I am not worried. I really need prayer that my tecnique advances and I can imagine new art styles.

Ok, thanks.

Love you

This day has been great.

Dear Family,

I am relaxing enjoying the company of no body today, I am reading books, listening to sermons I put onto my ipod, looking at the trees, washing my clothes and talking with Yeshua. Its been a productive personal day, I am also hungry for pizza.... I may go get some.

Today I received a bike that needs some fix up but it looks to be a trust worthy bike. I am so stoked because I have been praying for some wheels to drive with, God gave me a bike rather then a car. I figure this is the first step towards the final goal, a car. I am so stoked!

Friday, I fully admitted to Debi (my boss) that I am fully in love with my job. I really enjoy keeping contacts with people, accounting, art, reading/studying books, and in all these things I am experiencing Gods presence. I am coming to know God more then before.

Thursday was a good art day, I sat in a dance class to do figure drawing. I stepped out side to paint an image before my eyes. Its was a great day for art. I still need to go get art supplies, yet I am easily distracted with what I already have so I sit and run low on all art supplies I've got. Haha its amazing!

Art is a beautiful thing and I get to be apart of it. Yay!

Peace out family. I am thinking much about you all.

I need a car!

Dear Family,

I am working towards a car, license, and car parts. I am talking with Jesus about driving because I have friends far off in New Hampshire. I am losing time in a day with public transportation so its hard at moments to be involved with the communities in Boston. If anyone can donate a car to me or send even more money so I could save up for a cheap car, I would appreciate that.

I am seeking for more friends, my life is in need of new social events. I am really trying to keep in contact with friends in New Hampshire and build friends in Boston so I am in a new stretch. Please be praying for me.

Shalom Friends.

The Boston is good.

Hello friends,

Yesterday, a man spoke to our group about Boston. This guy came out from Thia Land to speak to us of what God had spoken to him. God showed him a image of people doing things that sent praises to God from Boston cutting through the atmosphere to God, which allowed Gods love to fall onto Boston then out to the world.
YWAM Boston has been receiving the same vision for the last three year so its exciting.

So we are eager to see God move and infect Boston for his glory.

here is an odd video..... do not watch if you are easily grossed out.

The breaking of a few thoughts...to gain mercy

Dear Family,

I carry a burden that may not be mine to carry. I look at the church, look to the world and find no difference-therefore i shake to my knees in fear of the teachings and way of life that I live in. I question Christ, where is the abundant, unified life He claims that is in Him when the church is taking a razor to its limps to remove the finger, the toe, the eyes, from its own body. I question, question, question until 12 O'clock at night about the christian life or the life! Do i have an answers...NO.

BUT! PRAISE THE LORD, HE DOES NOT LEAVE ME IN THE GUTTER ALONE BUT RATHER SITS WITH ME, COMFORTS ME.

I MAY FEEL JADED BY A SMALL PIECE OF THE CHURCH BUT INDEED THAT IS IT; A SMALL PIECE OF THE CHURCH. CHRIST GAVE ME A PROMISE THAT THIS YEAR I WILL FEEL, WALK IN JOY- no, joy is not always smiling and laughing. its my holding dearly on to truth, onto the Christ that is joy(at least this is my definition today, tomorrow it will change).

PHILIPPIANS 1:15-19 (NLT)
17 Those others do not have pure motives as they preach about Christ. They preach with selfish ambition, not sincerely, intending to make my chains more painful to me. 18 But that doesn’t matter. Whether their motives are false or genuine, the message about Christ is being preached either way, so I rejoice. And I will continue to rejoice. 19 For I know that as you pray for me and the Spirit of Jesus Christ helps me, this will lead to my deliverance.

I read this a night ago and took a step back to think about this guy, Paul. He notices the small part of the "church" then looks away to the good which is people are still gaining the message of Christ. At this moment Paul gives mercy onto these people with false motives, he hold on to no anger that is his own. He maybe angry about what is happening but maybe Paul gained a good understanding of a type of godly anger.

I don't give mercy to people in the church, I become quickly angered by comments, attitudes, personalities within a piece of the church. I realize, I am very much of a church politic. The one with the thoughts of "he should not be on the worship band because I do not see his heart in it" or something lame like that. I have failed to look to the full picture, I have to see the full picture of Christ's relationship with the church to understand mercy.

I have issues. I laugh at myself more and more because I am beginning to realize just my need of Christ.

PHILIPPIANS 3:7-9 (NLT)
7 I once thought these things were valuable, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done. 8 Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ 9 and become one with him. I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ.[a] For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith.

I am challenged by this. Focusing on Christ to a point of really not caring about anything but Him, to know Yeshua.
When I read this I think toughen up, care for Christ before your self by caring for Christ you will care for your brother and sister.

Caring for my neighbor is not hard but it becomes hard for me in specific moments of conversation with my neighbor. Some talks kick my nerves and I get angry-then I reserve my love from my neighbor but this must stop. I realize Christ must weigh more then my bitterness or my thought life and some rules (convictions) I have placed myself under.

Thank God, He revealed a new way to live. He is being faithful to His words, to His promises that I may walk in joy. I am learning to deal with my aggressive behavior towards people in the church, this anger of hypocrisy in the church is not mine to cradle but to let go, to care for. I am learning mercy by the Spirits kindness.

In context Paul is speaking about circumcision and Old Testament rules now he considers it all worthless and faith in Christ is far more value then his religious acts.

How Christ, you are my focus, You are truly my value. Please keep correcting my crooked back.

Love to you.

THE IDEA IS..... WELL, STILL FORMING.

DEAR FAMILY,

I HAVE BEEN ASKING GOD WHAT WOULD HE LIKE TO SEE DONE IN THIS CITY, NAMED BOSTON. I ASK AND ASK AND ASK SOME MORE..... AT THE MOMENT I AM NOT TOO SURE.

I HAVE BEEN THINKING MUCH ABOUT A HEART CHANGE, HOW IS A HEART FOREVER CHANGED THAT IT DOES NOT GO BACK TO ITS OLD NASTY WAYS.

I HAVE BEEN READING WATCHMAN NEE'S BOOK CALLED THE BREAKING OF THE OUTER MAN AND THE RELEASE OF THE SPIRIT. VERY INTENSE BOOK, I SEE SOME TIES WITH DIETRICH BONHOEFFER SO IF YOU LIKE HIM AND FIND HIS CHALLENGE OF CHRISTIANITY ENJOYABLE, READ WATCHMAN KNEE.

I AM MOVING FORWARD IN LIFE AND NOT LOOKING BACK TO WHOM I WAS LAST YEAR NOR THE YEAR BEFORE..... I WISH I COULD BE REAL WHEN I WRITE THIS SENTENCE. OF COURSE I KEEP MY SELF THE SAME AS THE LAST YEARS OF MY LIFE. I AM COMFORTABLE WITH IT AND I FIT WITHIN THAT SKIN WELL.

YET, MY LOVER-YESHUA- HAS ASKED ME TO SET THIS IMAGE ASIDE. I AM DOING THAT BUT IT IS NOT EASY, I HIT A WALL! YESHUA COMPLETELY SCRAPED MANY OF MY IDEAS TO FIT, RELATE TO MORE PEOPLE AND NOT JUST MY SELF. I HAVE BEEN COMING TO MANY ART BLOCKS RECENTLY SO I HAVE BEEN READING MANY BOOKS TO GET SOME FRESH CREATIVE IDEAS FOR ART. ITS GOOD AND I AM SLOWLY MOVING FORWARD, PEELING OFF THE OLD SKIN TO BE EVEN CLOSER TO CHRIST.

WATCHMAN IS HELPING ME IN MOVING FORWARD.PRAISE THE LORD, FOOL!

I LOVE IT, I AM GRATE FULL TO BE IN THIS PLACE OF LIFE. ITS FRUSTRATING BUT LIVELY.

PEACE OUT.

Many things have come to be and much is still to come!

Dear Family,
Things in Boston are going good. The team has began out reach this last week, it went very well. One team asked questions to get peoples ideas about life, they as well evangelized and saw five people come to walk with Christ. The team I am on we did worship in the streets, handed out free ice coffee, and prayed with people. It was swell, our team saw two people come to a decision to walk with Christ. A total of seven people for our base's first week of out reach, that is exciting.

I am beginning to get involved with the Boston culture a lot more, on the outreach a guy asked if he and i could meet up soon and talk about Jesus and life. We exchanged digits and will hopefully meet soon.

Last night I went to a bible study on Harvard campus, this bible study was a Korean bible study. The people in this bible study were very serious about seeking and begin with God, which is so encouraging. They all had a desire to know Christ's love for them and the people they are around. I may keep going and partying with them.

This is my art space/office that I have been working on all week. I am tearing down the ceiling to hang up lights. It will be great.

OK, bye Family.

Tuesday, September 22, 2009

I ENJOY MY JOB!

Dear Family,

I was mold to work with YWAM, everyday is new and different, I hit new struggles in the office everyday. I enjoy it so much! I am making letters today and it is a pain because the printers in the office are not working like I would like them to, therefore I am going to Staples to make post cards. I will be working late tonight.

Tomorrow the team is going out to Boston to reach out to people within Central Square. We will be playing songs for God is the streets and talking to whom ever stops by. I am ready to begin talking to people about Christ in Boston once again.

Art is going well, I finished one work last night. I felt alive in the process of creating this image of a man and painting the back ground. It was a good time! The art studio is a great space, big and secure in sound so I can blast my music.

Pray for the team, tomorrow we go out. Our loved team member (John) just had surgery but is up and walking well. The surgery went perfect and it was in perfect timing too his infection spread onto his chest which means any longer to wait on surgery John may would have died. Our base is grate full for Gods kindness and hearing the prayers of people around the world for our base.

Thank you, Your Companion in the Christ,
Jordan

Update

Dear Family,
Presently I am at Boston working with YWAM. My job is accounting and art at this moment within YWAM. I am enjoying it a lot, the way of life that I hoped to live is being lived out. Its is not always easy but in the struggles and hard moments I enjoy and understand God, the team, Boston even more. I received my first payment from donations that you may have given through YWAMboston.org, thank you for your support.

I am thinking of you all in California a lot, many times I have wished to be in your presence enjoying a good meal or jumba juice. I do indeed pray for you all and ask that God will be glorified by your way of life internally and externally. Keep going for the dreams he has placed in your hearts, remember also to reach out to others with generosity. I know that God can lead us to some people with much hope and be just as active in living for the Kingdom of God as you are.

I am still trying to understand where, what and how God want to move in Boston. I will let you know more as I get to know more.

Tonight I am going to Harvard to check out a small group that has bible studies on the campus. We'll see what happens.

Peace be with you, your companion in the Christ,
Jordan

Psalms 1:1-3 NLT
1 Oh, the joys of those who do not
follow the advice of the wicked,
or stand around with sinners,
or join in with mockers.
2 But they delight in the law of the Lord,
meditating on it day and night.
3 They are like trees planted along the riverbank,
bearing fruit each season.
Their leaves never wither,
and they prosper in all they do.


I got this scripture in writting this blog. While reading, this is what stuck out the most.
"They are like trees planted along the riverbank,
bearing fruit each season.
Their leaves never wither,
and they prosper in all they do."

hm... I'll leave it at that. I do not know what else to write.

Ok, enjoy your selves.
