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.

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
