Thank-You for your faithfulness to the Lord and His
work in 2005!
|
We praise the Lord for all He did in 2005 and look forward
to an exciting year of ministry in 2006. It is not so important how we begin but
how we finish – our prayer for you and ourselves is that each of us will finish
strong the race that is set before us. We sensed the Lord did this, and it would
not have been possible without your faithful love, support, teamwork and prayers
that enabled Global Worship to “finish strong” in 2005. We were blessed at the end
of the year to be together with David’s two missionary sisters and their families
who work in Mexico and Siberia. It was a special time since we rarely get a Christmas
all together.

 ONE THING Our entire family was very blessed spiritually
to be able to go to the ONE Thing conference in Kansas City. This is hosted yearly
by the International House of Prayer and this year about 10,000 youth and young-at-heart
attended several days of worship and prayer sessions.
|
|
We all were greatly challenged and blessed by the sessions.
David Luke shared that he experienced a new freedom in Christ through his classes
and also when he did a choreographed dance during one of the large sessions.

One Thing ministries focuses on calling young adults to
pursue the “one thing that is needed” (Lk.10.42) as the focus of their lives. They
host several conferences around the nation each year imparting vision and giving
practical ways to become a people of ‘one thing’. Here are some quotes from
“on fire” youth who went to the conference
In Ps. 27.4, King David prayed, “…one thing I ask, this one thing I seek, that I
may behold the beauty of the Lord…” This prayer is central to what we are trying
to cultivate in this generation. What if a generation without focus would rise up
with vision, in confidence, to be burning and shining lamps? What would happen if
a million young adults would have deep understanding of God’s emotions and profound
knowledge of the hour in which we are living? Is it too much to ask, too much to
dream for? These are the prayers that we are longing to see answered. This
is the one thing that we desire.
We are committed to seeing young adults living with fascinated hearts that lead
to passion for Jesus.
One thing desires to see young adults filled with a glimpse of understanding of
the realness of God and see the revelation of their own destiny that is worth fighting
for. We seek to develop a deep passion in young adults to realize the supremacy
of choosing Jesus over any other pursuit.
“I felt stirred and challenged to not only be one to
live with reckless abandon after my Lord but to encourage other young adults to
run after Him too."
“I long to see my generation move in signs and wonders and give Jesus the glory that's
due him. I'm tired with church as usual, people are looking for something authentic
and that's the church needs to bring them. I can't wait for the church to come together
and be the bride we're called to be."

We enjoyed seeing family (David's parents, 2 sisters,
their husbands and children and his brother) during Christmas and being together.
That only happens about once every 3 years with all of David's family because they
are missionaries and not usually in the states. So when they are here its such a
blessing!
-
The trip to the One Thing Conference after Christmas was
awesome. To be together with 10,000 people, mostly young adults who were seriously
seeking God was exciting. Our younger children were being trained while we were
in sessions and they did a dance to worship music during one session that was so
powerful! His word says: (out of the mouth of babes....
