Last week I released the January Community Update. I felt really strong that I needed to tell the Daily Audio Bible story again because there are so many new people that become a part of this community as each year passes. I realized while telling the story that SO much has happened in three years that I'd need to talk for three hours or more to get it all out. At any rate I wanted to talk about where we've been in order to share vision for where we're going and if you haven't had the chance to listen yet I encourage you to take the time.

WindFarm is something that is really beginning to burn in my heart. So much of the puzzle is fitting together and I am eager for us to begin praying together. I am passionate about the coming day when we can say as a family here that we are praying around the world, around the clock. That we are continually going before the Lord in reverence, worship and intercession. If you haven't yet, click the WindFarm tab at the top of the page and read about it. We've also provided a couple of audio resources that can be listened to so that the WindFarm Prayer Initiative makes more sense. The first is just an overview that I've prepared. The second is the original month end review where the WindFarm really began.

Part of this whole move forward with the WindFarm is some teaching on prayer. I am working now to assemble the first portion of that. It's an honor to partner with Ransomed Heart ministries to bring an eight part teaching from John Eldredge called, "The Hope of Prayer." This teaching aided my prayer life more than any other single teaching that I've ever been a part of. I am eager to bring it to this community and we'll be seeing that shortly.

The DAB missions trip to Cali, Columbia is also heavily on the radar. If you sense God inviting you to go then you'll need to act quick as the deadline is February 14.

I don't have a story to share this week because I wanted to use the space to encourage you to dig deeper here. God has raised a community out of the dust and if you feel that you're a part of it take the time this week to fully get to know the ways God is moving among us. Listen to these audio resources and catch the vision!
