Where We Were (A Call and a Dream)

Before I met Christ in college, I was already well down a road of learning about business.  Back then I always thought one day I would be an entrepreneur.  After graduating, I was always looking to start my first business.  At one point I worked at an Aquarium shop for a year just to learn the ropes so I could start my own.  I had begun accumulating aquariums and equipment and kept meticulous notes on every detail of the business down to the thermostat readings and all.  However, God had another plan.  The housing crash in ’07-’08 caused me to rethink launching what I considered a luxury business.  Instead I was steered towards graduate school and yet more training.  As my career developed I watched opportunity after opportunity pass by and wondered if I’d ever get a chance to pursue my dream?

A decade into a corporate career, I still couldn’t shake that yearning, when suddenly God called our family into the mission field.  I wondered if I’d ever get a chance to pursue this dream but I laid it down to pursue laboring in the Kingdom!  However I remember God speaking to me that I would be a spiritual entrepreneur!  I thought, “even better, I can serve God and fulfill this burning in my heart at the same time!”  I’m laughing as I reflect on what that really was going to look like. 

Let’s just say “God’s thoughts are not our thoughts and our ways are not His ways.”

Isaiah55:8

Another Day Another Dream

I spent the next few years serving the vision of other ministries and laboring in the harvest.  All the while I was constantly having new ideas but wondering if I would ever see any of them come to pass?!  During this season I would write down these many ideas as the Lord would provide them.  In fact as I write this, I think I’m going to have to make a video teaching about this topic because there’s just too much I could say about it to write here.

Waiting…and waiting…and…

If you can relate to what I was going through, feel free to share in the comments and we (the body/readers) will be praying for your endurance and patience.  Also, keep an eye out for my video on navigating these seasons.

God Speaks

While I was serving in Australia, someone gave me a prophetic word that God was going to birth something amazing through me but that I had to be careful not to try to birth it too soon or it would die.  I had to wait on His timing…

It started so amazing until the waiting part.  It was like I had this thing growing inside of me that I couldn’t wait to see become a reality and then I’m told to keep waiting.

Where We Are Now

I’m excited to say that after years of prayer, preparation and waiting, we finally felt the release to launch out into some of the vision God has given us!  Interestingly, His timing has coincided with prophetic words of many people being released into the vision God has given them.  More details about this new initiative will be shared in the coming days, and in some cases years as we set out into the great plans and work God has prepared in advance for us to do.  Most importantly, we hope you will journey with us and grow ever more fruitful in life and godliness for the glory of our God and Savior Jesus Christ!
