Kaylee Daniels in the Philippines

If you haven't read Kaylee Daniels blog you need to! She has given her whole summer to show Jesus to the people in the Philippines. To see a profile of her team, click on the picture. Last week, her whole team has had a pretty bad parasite. A couple of days ago we got word that God brought healing!! Many of us have been praying for them, don't miss out on the blessing of praying for them.

Kaylees blog is really the only way to communicate to her. You can encourage her by posting a comment and let her know you're praying for her. Sign up on her blog for an email subscription to get updates in your email. Seriously, the kids doing some legendary stuff for God that you probably wouldn't do... just saying :-) read about it.

On one of the comments Kaley Jowers left she shared a quote about missions that made her think of Kaylee... "Missions is less about the transportation of God from one place to another and more about the identification of a God who is already there." I thought that was pretty good. We're not taking Jesus to others, we are just helping them realize that he is already there, trying to work in their life. Remember that the next time God leads you to share.

One thing that God spoke to me about through Kaylee'a blog was SHOWING instead of SHARING (or selling) the gospel... you'll have to read to find out, click here to read it.

If you want to get on on a prayer chain for her even if you can do it once a day email Aaron at Aaron_Caulder@hotmail.com

God doesn't want anything from you...

This morning as I was checking my email, I came across something worth the read. I get a number of bloggers out there in the world of ministry emailed to me. This particular one was from Tony Morgan. He took notes from his pastors message. There were two things that stuck out to me...

1. "God doesn't want anything from you. He wants everything."

2. "If your offering means nothing to you, why do you expect it would mean anything to God."

Think about that... especially the second one.

gospel, for it is the power of

God for salvation to everyone

who believes..." - Rom 1:16 (nas)

Things are just fine...

I haven't checked email since Thursday, for me that's a long time! The last half of the week was taken up with setting up for FNL. If I never saw another paintball for the rest of my life, that would be ok with me. alright, maybe that's a little extreme, but there was paintballs everywhere! We estimated 40,000 paintballs flew through the air that night. One even exploded in my face (Thanks Buckner). I'll write more on FNL in a couple of days, I am still waiting on a few pictures.

Tonight I sat down to begin the process of checking emails and I came across this blog that a pastor in North Carolina wrote. His name is Steven Furtick, you can read it here. His point was that in our prayer life, we often pray prayers that would result in our security. I don't know about you, but the more I find security in my present and future circumstances, the less I feel the need for God... Did I just say that?!? Dude, your a pastor! True, but I am a child of God just like you. A child that learns and grows everyday. I seriously doubt you'd disagree with me in saying that the more secure we are in our circumstances the less we "feel" the need for God. Some would even say (or at least think it), "God I need you but not right now, things are going just fine." How much do you pray when things are going bad? Chances are, a little more. How much do you pray when things are going your way? A little less??? That's why Jesus said mind blowing things like, "It's hard for rich people to get into heaven" (Matthew 19:23).

This guy's blog just made me think about what I pray and what God will do. Do you think God will answer your prayer in a way that would make you feel so secure that you don't "feel" the need for Him? Maybe... sometimes God gives us exactly what we ask for. Sometimes He doesn't. Sometimes He answers our prayers not in a way that we would want, but in a way that would draw us closer to Him. Just a thought I was thinking today.
