Friends & Family,

Well as you know April was quite a month for us (when I say "us" i'm referring to my husband and I)... We celebrated our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY on the 29th, with my in-laws who share the same anniversary date with us, and that was a lot of fun.

Wilbur Ministries kicked off their once a month shabbat service called "L'Chaim" at New Life Chrsitian Fellowship here in Jacksonville, and it simply could not have gone better. There were six-hundred people in attendance for the first service, and the second one which took place just last weekend went just as well. For more information about the L'Chaim services, visit www.wilburministries.com.

On a more personal note, our office spends about two hours each tuesday in prayer together with about 6 of our key intercessors. We cover everything from our President, to International affairs, to personal requests... Just this morning during our prayer time one of our dear friends spoke up with a message she felt was from the Lord - geared towards Joel and myself. I share this with you not to build myself up in your eyes, but to share what is on the heart of the Incredible God that we serve!!!

She began: "The moment I walked into the room last friday night for the L'Chaim service I was almost floored by the presence of God. His presence in the room was so profound and when Sharon came up to join Paul (Wilbur) in leading worship the presence just grew enormously. God spoke to me at that moment and clearly said:
'Those who sow to the heavens are reaping the harvest of His presence here on Earth.'

Sharon, her husband, and the many other leaders of this generation are going to have an EXPLOSIVE anointing. Their effectiveness is going to be seen not in generations to come, but in their OWN generation. God will NOT be without this generation - He will not quit and He is fervent about these Youth [specifically]. There will be an enormous launching into the nations of the world and His presence will be the reward for those who have sown."

What profound, and encouraging words! I am so excited to see how the Lord moves through our generation. I truly believe that we will impact NOT ONLY our friends and peers for the Kingdom of God, but our PARENTS, and the generations that came before us. As times grow darker and darker, our Light will only shine brighter and brighter and we are quickly approaching a time when we will see the manifest power of God at work in ways we could NEVER have imagined.

SIGN ME UP LORD! :) haha
