Hello from Paradise, Rainier National Park!

Well…..I know it’s been a while.  If I told you what we’ve been doing it would exhaust you. It exhausts me just thinking about the past 6 months!  God is good – He is faithful – He is merciful – He is all knowing – He is light to our path – He is the One true God – He is the way maker – He is the beginning and the end – He is the lover of our souls – He is love – He is Light – He is our King – He is THE I AM THAT I AM!

Let me see if I can give you a little snippet of what’s been happening with the Moses’…….In September we resigned from our place at El Shaddai Ministries. Following that, Mark took a cabinet job in Mobile, AL. We moved from our rental house and were invited by dear friends to occupy there daylight basement.  During the time of October 17th- January 21st, Mark traveled back and forth from Mobile to Seattle to be with the family.  The kids continued to go to their school and life was very different with us being apart from each other.  Some of the most trying days in our whole 19 years of marriage.

While Mark was in Mobile working, he received a call from Pastor Bill Wolfson from Church For All Nations, who asked a very pointed question, ” Mark, do believe God is through with the Moses’ in Washington?”.  He could have asked any other question but he didn’t.  We had to respond, “no.”  Mark and Pastor Bill began the dialogue of what it would look like for us to come on staff and help oversee the ministries at Church for All Nations.  We accepted the call and began our journey with Pastors Bill and Marj and the leadership and congregation there.

Many in our area are preparing for a natural cataclysmic disaster in the Northwest – we are believing for a supernatural outpouring of the Holy Spirit over the North West – an awakening to repentance and the furthering of God’s Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven!  We are believing for many to come to Christ and follow to Him with everything they’ve got!

We’ve found the Lord to be faithful in all things – He has kept us and surrounded us with favor with God and man.  We are excited to see God move in this region.

We are continuing to seek Him, we are moving forward with future endeavors.  In Honduras we plan to assist in building a place that will house missions teams and will help strengthen ministries that are already flourishing in the area.  Our church that God used many of us to plant there just had it’s 10-year anniversary!  Here in Washington, we will be helping launch a new service in the near future.  We also have some opportunities to travel to Lebanon, and the list goes on.  We are ready, and excited – We are just open to the Lord and what He has for us to step into in 2017 with Fathersjoy.

Our mission is the same …..to be a witness of God’s love presence and power in and to the world through music, missions and mentoring.

Let me leave you with this Jeremiah 17:5-8

My paraphrase…….” don’t trust in the arm of the flesh you will be cursed – you will not be able to recognize good when it comes – you’ll be a shrub in a desert that inhabits the dry place…but be like this- one who trusts in God – you will be like a tree planted by living waters that brings forth fruit that remains and even in the dry season your leaf will not wither!

Jeremiah delivered two basic messages that came from God –

1 – You’ve not trusted in Yahweh
2-  Even worse you’ve trusted in yourself

We continue to trust In Him – thanks for your continued prayers and support. God’s blessings be upon you!

Mark, Bridget, Abigail, Samuel, Josie, and Amos
