PLEASE KINDLY NOTE THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS DOING A NEW THING IN 2012 SAYING "NEW WINE FOR NEW WINESKINS" AMEN. THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS ASKED US TO LAY DOWN M300 MINISTRIES AND ALL OF THE WORK, OF STRIVING AND SWEATING FROM OUR BROW AS HE IS TAKING THIS NAKED KERNEL THAT IS LAID DOWN IN OBEDIENCE DYING TO SELF THAT THE LORD MIGHT DO A NEW THING.
BEGINNING IN JANUARY 2012 AFTER 4 YEARS OF STRIVING WE WILL NOT BE FREQUENTLY UPDATING THIS REPORT PAGE.
1 Corinthians 15: 36-38 36You foolish man! Every time you plant seed, you sow something that does not come to life [germinating, springing up, and growing] unless it dies first.37Nor is the seed you sow then the body which it is going to have [later], but it is a naked kernel, perhaps of wheat or some of the rest of the grains. 38But God gives to it the body that He plans and sees fit, and to each kind of seed a body of its own.
We are excited that the Holy Spirit is taking our offering, our sacrifice as a "naked kernel" and as it dies to itself He will raise up a new body that He plans and sees fit. Thank you Lord for Yeshua Full Measure Ministry that you are founding, establishing and raising up. Hallelujah!
Some days ago I passes along a request by Seth Barnes, Executive Director of Adventures In Missions. Some of you responded by writing a written prayer that would be read in prayer over children in Swaziland. Seth is at a airport in Joburg and sends the following update including a video of this happening. See below:

After enduring limited internet connectivity for the last ten days, I'm back on line at the Joburg airport while we wait to catch our plane.
It's been a wonderful trip. Karen debriefed our World Racers at a retreat center on the banks of the Crocodile River and then helped lead a vision trip in Nsoko, Swaziland.
Staying at the Nisela Safari Camp just a few miles down the road from our center, we ate our dinners just a few yards away from the crocodile pond (with a huge croc in it). Giraffes and zebras grazed nearby and Racers had to occasionally shoo ostriches away from their tents.
I took a number of videos and will be sharing them with you over the next week. Every day we took care of widows and orphans in some way or another. Here are four highlights from the trip:
Seeing how well our Racers are doing. We left them dancing and singing at our closing South African bar-b-q (called a "brai").
Our Nsoko base looks tremendous - so much work has been done on it. The orphans looked so much healthier!
Getting to spend time with a number of my blog readers on the vision trip was a thrill. Gabe, Kevin, and Shawn had all participated in our discipleship experiment last year.
Yesterday's shoe distribution, though chaotic, was amazing. We washed the feet of hundreds and hundreds of children and some Gogos (estimates were upwards of 700), then we prayed your prayers over them (119 of you posted them on this blog - we laminated the prayers, prayed them individually, then gave them to the children), and then we sized their feet and gave them new shoes. You should have seen their expressions when they'd get brand new Crocs or Nike sneakers! Here's a video:
