Intercessors Needed


As I'm preparing for my trip back to Switzerland in December, I need to recruit a few prayer warriors.

I know God is going to move mightily and I'm expecting greater than I could ever imagine so please join with me in agreement for the following:
  • First of all, for a safe and uneventful flight (it's no secret that flying is not one of my favorite things to do)
  • I am returning on Christmas Eve - Please pray that there are no delays. It's cutting it close, but the last concert is December 23 in the evening.
  • Pray that things at home will be peaceful.  
  • Amber will come to stay with the kids. Pray for her to be well, sometimes cold weather is a problem for her as a result of the accident.

December 13th is One Night With the King - An evening of "Just Worship" (this is my favorite time)
  • Pray that the Lord will be Glorified. 
  • The people would enter into His presence like never before. 
  • That Miracles would take place.  
  • That souls would be saved, minds and hearts changed.  
  • Freedom to worship would break out all around!

December 20th is the First Concert "Gospel Explosion".  This is an outreach to unbelievers.
  • Pray for any sound issues to be worked out technically. 
  • Pray for unity with the band, choir, and I.  Also, my special guest, Jennifer and I will flow well together.
  • Please pray for God to touch hearts, minds and souls. Change lives.  
  • The people just love Gospel music in Switzerland and they pay lots of money to come to these concerts.  Pray that we give them more than just a concert.  
  • Pray for the leaders organizing - unity, resources, manifestations.  Especially, Sandy - she's got a new baby.  
  • Pray that nothing will be lost in translation as I try to convey my testimony.

December 23rd concert.  Same as above.  
  • Also, pray that my voice will remain strong from all the singing and I'll be able to give just as much this night.  I'll be singing 15 songs each night.
  • Pray that God will protect me from colds, flus, etc.  Keep me healthy and whole.
  • Pray that I will have destiny intersections:  There are so many people I'd like to spend time with. Pray that I am led by the Lord.  Lastly, those that I don't get to see will understand.
"God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we can ask or think according to the Power that works in us."  Ephesians

Welcome Back




Back to Blogging

Well we, as you could imagine, hit the ground running.  Let's see we landed in Michigan from Zurich on August 4 and we haven't stopped yet.  Things are starting to slow down a bit. Thank God. Let's see if I can recap all that's happened for all of my new European and abroad friends:

(Hold on to your hat) We moved into our temporary home, took a nap (quick one).  Got up and started looking for permanent quarters.  House hunt was a blur, since I was still jet lagging terribly.  Signed the girls up for school, found football teams for Chyle and Isaiah, acting school for JJ and a private basketball coach for Aaron.  I went to the Women's Summit at our church (so wonderful to be back). Gerald had meetings with his new boss to learn of his new assignments.   Oh and we got a new beautiful daughter.  Gabrielle, our god-daughter has come to live with us.  We are pursuing the adoption option.  Please pray for us as we proceed.  I can't forget Esther (our black lab).  I found a walking path for us and she quite enjoys it, except there are no hills and few dogs.

Three months later:  Moved into a beautiful home.  Chyle & Isaiah have finished football.  Aaron's basketball league is ending. Jeremiah and Gabrielle have parts in a major film.  Starring Danny Glover and Nia Long. Liz and Moriah just got their grades and they are doing really fantastic (even meeting friends, which can be difficult coming into at 11th and 12th grade).  Gerald is settling quite well into his new position.  Home every evening (what a blessing).  I am finally back on the worship team at church.  Just found out today that there is actually a dog park near where we live.  Esther will be elated to meet some friends.

I have to say, I am happy to be back home but I miss Switzerland.   I miss the mountains, my quiet time (did I mention I'm homeschooling five of my kids).  I miss tea time and lunch with friends.  I miss my church family and the public transportation system (I have to drive everywhere, all the time).  

Thank God I get to visit in a few weeks.  One Night With the King, evening of worship. This year's theme will be "Anointing the King". I'm so honored to be asked to come back.  This will be December 13th at Path of Life in Oerlikon.  I have two concerts in Schaffhausen on Dec 20 and Dec 23.  I hope to see some old and new faces as we celebrate and worship together.

As we approach Thanksgiving, we have so much to be thankful for. We will celebrate with family at our home this year.  I'm looking forward to just praising God together for all his blessings.

Thanks for reading!
