November Update


Dear friends and family,



Thank for your prayers over the last few weeks for our family and community, we have experienced God's presence and peace.




Strengthen the feeble hands,
steady the knees that give way; say to those with fearful hearts,
"Be strong, do not fear; your God will come—Isaiah 35:3-4


last night these promises were experienced as God encouraged and strengthened us deeply! As we sat around our living room, there were five communities represented whom God brought together for the purpose of uniting us together to join together in proclaiming and incarnating the good news of God’s kingdom to downtown Phoenix :



the people living in darkness
have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of the shadow of death
a light has dawned.





Update on Noleen


She just returned from her weekly visit with the eye specialist and her eyes continue to show improvement. They are continuing to taper her off the steroid medicine. Thanks for your prayers, we are experiencing God’s gracious healing.






Please Pray:




  • That God would continue to give us wisdom and His counsel for whom we are to partner with

  • For direction and discernment with who is to live and serve with us in the apprenticeship to Jesus properties

  • November 30th community barbecue for our neighbors

  • Upcoming 24x7 prayer/worship/fasting weekend Dec. 12th-14th at the A2J property



Request


We sense that God is growing our ministry and will continue to bring young people to us to serve, disciple, train, and release we are asking God for more property in our neighborhood! Do you know anyone who might be interested in buying investment property in our neighborhood that we could use for the ministry. Please contact me if you have any ideas.



As always we are grateful for your love and partnership with us


Ryan, Noleen, Ethan, Keilah, & Micah








The time is now fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand” (Mark 1:15). “Jesus then came into Galilee announcing the good news from God. ‘All the preliminaries have been taken care of and the rule of God is now accessible. Review your plans for living and base your life on this remarkable new opportunity.’ Jesus’ mission compels us beyond ourselves and towards others, reaching out to those on the margins, healing those who are sick, blessing those who are cursed, and combating evil with love and justice. We are invited to join Jesus in his ministry of reconciliation, gathering people up into the kingdom and kingdom living.
