Dear Friends and Family,

In 2010 God used the message, “calling people to His heart” to touch many people around the World. God has used the Pursuit Conference, Impact World Tour, Call2All, Pursuit Internship, and the Prayer Room in a mighty way. Through partnerships like God TV calling people to the first commandment, “to love God” and the second commandment; “to love people” has reached the multitudes around the globe. What an amazing year it has been!!

As you all know, we held the PURSUIT Conference back on October 22nd-24th. This was more than just a conference, we and many others encountered God in life changing ways! People came from over 25 cities and there are still many people writing in from these places to tell us how their lives were affected. We wanted to share just a couple of those testimonies with you:

“In all my years I have never encountered Jesus in such a powerful way. He healed my heart. He restored my soul. He renewed my mind. He set me free from the chains to dance with joy again even in the middle of the storm. He restored my marriage and family. Today feels like a new day and a new beginning.” (Anonymous)

“I would just like to say that this past weekend was a foundational stone in my walk with God. I am a worship leader in Saskatoon, SK. On Saturday night a spirit of intercession came on me like a flame of fire. I started shaking violently and felt like my body was literally a flame. A passion for sons and daughters to be birthed through me and a spirit of motherhood was released. I couldn’t help but groan in the spirit. Sunday morning was a continuation of this as Allen called us to the front and I had that same spirit come on me. Our whole church will never be the same as my pastors, myself and the three others who were with us spread this fire. Most of all I had a revelation of the beauty of the Lord and I never want to take my eyes off of His face again.” (Anonymous from Saskatoon, SK)

Both Ryan and I had an incredible time preparing for the conference and during it. Ryan spent the weekend doing what he does best--running media. I had the opportunity to minister to the younger ones in the Kids Track. From both our perspectives, it was evident that the Holy Spirit worked through salvations, healings, and the restoration of families and marriages! Thank you to all of you as well for your part in facilitating His presence to break into lives that weekend. God will greatly reward you for all that you sacrificed and gave in prayers and finances. We will let you know when it will air on God.TV. If you still haven’t had a chance to view last years conference, you can view it anytime on God.TV in the God on demand section.

ON A FAMILY NOTE

With Christmas season right around the corner and our preparations for our little boy Malachi, we are busy getting everything together that we need for a newborn. It is so exciting as we look forward to expanding our family. We were given a bunch of gently used baby boy clothes for his first six months. What a blessing! We want to thank everyone who helped us through prayer and giving in regards to some major car repairs we faced in the last two months. We had sent out a few emails about this need. We want you to know we have met the majority of the financial need and Ryan was able to do 99% of the repairs himself. Praise God! We are reminded in Matthew 6 not to “worry about our life” and not to “worry about tomorrow.” He is so faithful to take care of every need we come face to face with.

If you could also keep us in prayer on a personal note. We have to make a decision by February about where we live. We have been blessed to be living in a 1150 sq ft, 2 bedroom home at a very reduced cost. We have been renting from a local Christian Company who built the home. Unfortunately, due to an economic downturn and recent financial hardships within the company we have been informed that the cost of rent will have to increase by 500-600 dollars at the end of our lease. Although this seems like an enormous increase, the total rent will still be less than market value for what we need in a home and therefore it makes the most sense to stay where we are, unless God provides another place to fit our living needs at our current budget. We have less than 60 days to hear from the Lord on what we should do. We trust that the Lord will provide nothing less than what is His best for us and this situation.

Please continue to keep Ryan and I in prayer that we continue to grow together spiritually and gain wisdom on family decisions and for every day ministry. It makes an incredible difference when we are learning to hear from the Lord on daily basis through ministry and family life.

UPCOMING FOR 2011

In this past year there have been many blessings and challenges for us as a family, but overall in this battle we are always believing to move forward and take new ground. We are learning and maturing in so many ways. The Pursuit Internship 2010 was our first ever. We prayed for months for God to show up at our school and He did! It consisted to two phases: a three-month lecture phase where the students got dynamic teaching and then a two-month outreach phase where we experienced this teaching and impartation come alive as we reached out to those in the Philippines. We are believing God for an even greater explosion of growth in this next year. February 2011, we will be helping staff the 2nd Pursuit Internship / Discipleship Training School (DTS). We are planning and praying that we will be able to financially afford to go on this outreach as we have not yet completed this part of our commitment to YWAM. We are prayerfully considering 3 different locations for the outreach--all 3rd world countries. The anticipation is growing in our hearts as the New Year comes closer.

Your commitments to us have been amazing and we hope to see you journey with us into 2011. Your financial support is crucial for us to continue to do what we are doing. We invite you to continue to partner with us on a monthly basis for 2011 as well as with a special gift. It is so amazing to have friends and family like you walking beside us and being a part of what God is releasing in these times.

We want to wish you and your family an incredible Christmas season and encourage you to keep your hearts strong in the Lord by focusing on His amazing love and faithfulness! We believe God is moving by his Spirit with a great revival in the hearts and lives of people everywhere. Can’t wait to see what He has for 2011!

For His Glory and Fame,

Ryan & Sarah
