Praising God On The Journey


(Hope Church Worship)

The Psalmist writes...


PSALMS 150
Praise the Lord!

Praise God in his sanctuary;
    Praise him in his mighty heavens!
 
Praise him for his mighty deeds;
    Praise him according to his excellent greatness!


This Psalm says it all.  This is where Layne and I are living at this very moment, PRAISING GOD!!!  We are in all of God right now.  He is worthy to be praised, and high and exalted.  He is so good, and we are so thankful for God in allowing us to be a part of this glorious journey we are on.  Thank you Lord!

Since God has called us to church plant in Hawai'i, He has answered so many of our prayers.  We would like to share with you all that He has answered and revealed to us since He called us on May 1.

  • The Lord connected us with Launch Network (May 1)
  • We needed a sending church:  Hope Church Las Vegas committed to be that to us within 24hrs our Calling. (May 1)
  • We were low on funds to get to a Church Plant Assessment Retreat in June.  God provided those funds immediately after we prayed.  We were also approved at that retreat by LAUNCH in June to plant in Hawaii in 2013. (June 13)
  • Upon Approval to plant, we were also offered a year paid church plant training position through the North American Mission Board with Hope Church in Las Vegas. (June 13)
  • As we got ready to move, we had no money to move across the country from TN to NV.  Our home church in Carthage went over and beyond in giving us a HUGE love offering. (July 15)
  • NAMB also provided us with a 3bed 2bath home in the Silverado Ranch area of Vegas for the next year. (Aug 1)
  • Our house in Carthage sold within 30days for the price we asked for. (Aug 30)
  • We have 10 churches that has committed to partner with us through this Journey (July).
  • God has blessed us with a Prayer Coordinator and a prayer team of over 100 partners (Aug 1).
  • Layne was offered a job as soon as we got to Vegas (Aug 20)
  • Our first individual has committed to being a part of our financial support team.  The cool thing is that she lives on the Big Island, where we are planting. (Aug 28)
PRAISE GOD!

Thank you for your prayers, God is using you greatly in our lives as you cry out to him on our behalf and the needs of Hawai'i, The South Pacific, and The World!


Mahalo Nui Loa,


Pastor Zeke
