Encounter Jesus in the Noise

 In 2020, as a “grounded missionary, I was thinking in terms of “transition”. Everyone was pivoting to online, in person meetings were cancelled, life looked like adapt - adapt - adapt.  By January of 2021 I realized the “normal” I was waiting for probably wasn’t going to happen. This wasn’t just about “transition” from one season to the next. Something else was happening. Emotionally I felt adrift.  Soon after I met Merri Ellen Geisbrecht, a Christian Life Coach and Spiritual Director, through an online event for women who desired to encounter Jesus in a deeper way in the midst of the Noise.  I immediately felt this was a God opportunity. I was impressed and could relate to her testimony of beating depression and connecting with Jesus in listening prayer.

He was used by the Spirit of God to prepare hearts for the Messiah. Peter being filled with the Spirit (Act 4:8-13) astonished the people who heard him speak because of the power and anointing of God. Paul was described as “filled with the Spirit” as he exposed Elymas dece

Summer Ministries

It has been and is continuing to be a great summer. We really enjoyed Rachael, our intern featured in Pirates of the Palouse, and the kids at the various camps and churches. One young man, Christopher, stands out in my mind. He had never been to church and was brought by a neighbor to camp where he gave his life to Jesus. Then began to read the bible for the first time. This particular camp had a Bible Quiz each night with teams competing. Christopher quized second highest! Unbelievable! Of course some of his answers needed a bit of translating. Like when the official asked who appeared to the shepherds and announced the birth of Jesus. Christopher replied, "A band of heavenly ghosts!" The judge accepted it.
