Christmas in July

Yes that is correct. At least that is what this entire day has felt like. I have been opening presents all day. It all began this morning around 740am.
Parked outside ware house that we were given for free through October was a 53 foot semi trailer filled with boxes. 16 pallets with brand new gear that needed to be unloaded.






By now you have already guessed: yes it was our sound system for the portable festival equipment that finally arrived to day.

Marcus Urso, who will be working on our festival team with technical part and myself have opened up so much stuff today and it has felt like Christmas in July for real.

To pull open a box with brand new equipment and get a whiff of that new smell is just amazing and to know that this all belongs to us in Mission SOS makes it feel even better.




It has been a long five years and I think that many lost faith during the course but we have been a team a few people that have never given up and today was like a dream come true. Part two will be in Haiti later this fall ad we take the equipment there and set up for a Signs & Wonders festival in the capital city.

It is not to late to sign up. Come and join the adventure and bring Jesus to the devastated nation of Haiti.

Enjoy the pictures of us unpacking...











For the Kingdom!

Cool Blessing!

This summer has, so far, been pretty hot in Pittsburgh (about 35 degrees C the wamest days). Even though I'm a huge fan of summertime, the beach/pool, sunbathing etc etc I have to admit that going to sleep in that temperature has been a little challenging (our bedroom has evening/afternoon sun). Anyway God know's everything right?! And sometimes He answers our wishes even before they become prayers! This week we were blessed with three brand new window AC's!!! God is so good! (And our bedroom has a temp of about 20 degrees C now!)

The Word

This morning I read the following Psalm:

1 LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary?

Who may live on your holy hill?

2 He whose walk is blameless

and who does what is righteous,

who speaks the truth from his heart

3 and has no slander on his tongue,

who does his neighbor no wrong

and casts no slur on his fellowman,

4 who despises a vile man

but honors those who fear the LORD,

who keeps his oath

even when it hurts,

5 who lends his money without usury

and does not accept a bribe against the innocent.

He who does these things

will never be shaken.

Psalm 15

This Psalm so spoke to my heart this morning! Who is really able to do all this? The answer is no one, but in Jesus and through His blood and work on the cross it IS possible! How we need the grace of God... Thank You Jesus for the cross, the blood and that You cried out; It is finished...

Love You Jesus!
