Well hello folks.
I had almost forgot about this here blog. Truth is I haven't felt much inspiration for writing lately, actually, a whole year of no inspiration. Attempting to get back into it.
**AN UPDATE FOR 2010 TILL NOW**
For those who do not know, I have been working with a ministry called Living Alternatives. It's a branch ministry out of Youth With A Mission - Tyler. It's Located in Garden Valley, TX. A town that most likely will not be on your Great American travel maps. It's home though, and I love it.
Living Alternatives is a ministry focused on the family. It consists of a maternity home called Fatherheart, where I am currently working. Shocked? Well, I wouldn't be anywhere else right now, it's where my heart is. Living Alternatives also has an adoption agency, foster care program, earn as you learn programs and a pregnancy resource center. A very busy ministry but the Lord is all over it and around it and living in it. It's where I want to be.
I can't begin to tell you how much I have learned being apart of this incredible ministry. He has given me such a big heart for these young women that come through the program. I can say that all the time they are needing a guy friend who can be just that, a guy friend. For right now I believe God has put me in that place. Serving anywhere I can, cooking, cleaning, repairs here and there. I'm also the official pool man, I wear the title proudly. I serve with an amazing Fatherheart staff as well. These few people have spoken into my life in so many ways, it's been an honor to rub shoulders with them in this ministry field. This past year has been such a growing experience. Ups, downs and inbetweens. It's been a great start. Not sure how long the Lord has me here, but I'm sure glad He does.
Thanks for reading, hopefully in the near future I will have more inspirational, deep, moving, challenging, awesome, amazi... kidding. This blog will be solely for whatever is on my heart. Also for updates in my ministry.

March Newsletter
A year and a half ago my journey with the Lord began, and you have been a major part of that journey. In September of ’08 I attended the Discipleship Training School and then the School of Evangelism. Since then God has been rocking my world. He has shown me my identity in Him, and also my gifts and purpose in life; my plan and calling in the Kingdom of God. In September of ’09 God called me to do the School of Worship. I learned so much about leadership in ministry, leadership in the church and also how to be a leader. He revealed so many things about worship that I could have never imagined, and it’s been an incredible revelation in my walk with Him. Thank you for standing behind me, praying, interceding and helping me financially. The five months of this school, I feel, were the kickoff to what God has for me in the near future.
For as long as I can remember, justice has been a high moral standard in my life. In particular, abortion and sex trafficking. I knew about both, but in my School of Evangelism last summer my eyes were opened to the injustice and crime of these areas. God placed the burden on my heart. He asked, “Are you willing to be used by Me to bring change into these areas?” The only response I had was, “Send me.”
At the YWAM Tyler base there are multiple ministries associated with this area. Living Alternatives Maternity Home is one of them, which was started by Bev Kline almost thirty years ago as a safe haven for single pregnant women as an alternative to abortion. They take the women in and house them during their pregnancy and also after the child has come. They disciple them and they show them the love of the Father. They also offer schooling if they have not yet completed high school. Their heart is to show them the value of life and just how valuable they, as mothers, are. There is story after story of redemption and joy because of the work God has started in this home. And, now, I will be able to be a part of the staff at this home doing whatever I can, whether it will be taking care of the property during the day or filing papers in the office. God has told me to serve, to be a friend to the women, to reflect God’s character to these women, and to show them how much He loves them and the gift growing inside their bellies.
Something that has also been on my heart is the men of these relationships. An opportunity is already available to start this. Another aspect of the ministry of Living Alternatives is called Building Blocks. It’s a place in town where women from the city can come and take classes on parenthood and raising children. The more they come and take classes, the more points they earn. With the points they earn they are able to get child necessities, i.e. diapers, baby cloths, car seats, etc. Now if the women bring their boyfriends, they earn extra points! So weekly there are a handful of men that come, but there is no discipleship available for them, mainly because Living Alternatives as a whole does not have many male staff. I will be working there alongside the other staff starting to befriend and minister to these men. Hopefully the doors will open and discipleship will start to take place. If you would like to know more about the ministry, log onto www.livalt.org
I am very excited about this next step God has for me. I am excited to see the fruit come out of it; the stories I will be able to tell of God’s goodness and grace. With this next step comes a new type of challenge, but one that I am confident God is going to walk with me in. Every full time worker of Youth With A Mission is responsible to develop and see a team of prayer and financial supporters. This challenge is one that can seem difficult at times to me, but I am confident of God’s leading in it. God has spoken to me that I am not to “settle” for anything less than His best for me. That being said, I am believing God, and looking for in my belief for 50 people who will pray for me on a regular basis. And also 50 people who will stand with me financially on a monthly basis. In the times that we live, many of my contemporaries are fearful of taking on a challenge like this. But, as I move forward with this challenge before me, I believe God has indicated to me that I am to ask people to prayerfully consider joining my team in prayer and also if they would consider supporting me on monthly basis. Would you prayerfully consider joining my team? Also, if you know of someone who may want to be a part of my team, would you please pass this information onto them? Thank you for your serious consideration of this.
Thank you for your prayers and support. May the Lord bless you abundantly.

February 11th - Final Outreach Post
Well we were here again in Pennsylvania. Arrived on the 8th and today was our final day. Didn't get to do much but stay inside. Snowed 2 almost 3 feet of snow here this week so we were stuck. On Tuesday we were able to help out with some construction and organizing of our YWAM family church. So that was good to be a blessing to the local Body of Christ. Other than that, been pretty boring.
I guess I can write some things I felt have come out of this trip for me -
From the beginning I didn't know what to expect. And every week after that, going to a new place, I had no idea what we were going into. But God always went ahead of us, I know that much. East Coast/New England area evangelism. Hmm, might not excite a lot of us. But, this is where our country started. The New England area was a place of worship and missions building. Crazy to see how the area and our whole nation has strayed so far away from our roots. Our foundation. There is hope though. There are things happening under our small radar. Nine salvations in Boston. BOSTON. One of the darkest places in our country. Liberal, anti-god, free thinking city. Those nine salvations came from the streets. In a few days, less than 2 hours a day being out there. Interesting right? Something that God had to remind me was this is still His country. He will not just hand it over to the darkness. People, of all kinds, are rising up against the darkness and saying enough. The name of our God will not be hidden in this great nation.
Youth are starting to rise up. Fire is starting to burn within their hearts. To see change, and they are willing to BE the change. A sleeping giant is about to wake up. Am I ready for it? Are we, as the body of Christ ready for it. Flakes and fakes will not be able to handle what is about to start. I believe little children will start to call out the sin of their elders. Conviction will fall on whole congregation and repentance will take place because Jesus IS coming back soon. He is looking for a pure bride. His bride.
Ok all that to say prayer DOES change things. Many testimonies of that on this outreach for me. Pray ya'll. Keep praying. Pray for our nation. Change will come. I will pray for my nation and I believe change will come.
Patience, listening for His voice, learning how to love, reflecting Christ, DYING to myself. So much more He has been teachin me. I have said it in previous posts, the pruning of branches is a very painful but very needed thing. The calling God has for me is no small calling. There can be no room for sin in my life. But by His grace will He walk me through it. I am willing. I will respond to His call. I will walk through fire to see His name glorified.
Final note, it's been a good trip. Long, tiring, but also fruitful. I am so grateful for His provision and continuous blessing on this trip. I came to serve Him and He blessed me. What an incredible God He is.
We head back tomorrow morning, stopping overnight in Nashville. We arrive in Tyler, TX on Saturday. I am so excited to be getting back. This is the last post for the Outreach part. I am going to be posting again soon. I will explain what I'll be doin next.
Thank you SO much for your prayers and support. Blessings on you.

West Virginia - February 1st - 7th
Hmm, well it's been a good week. When I think about our great nation, honestly West Virginia doesn't come to mind. Having never been here or even driven through. But it has been a very good week. We have been in Keyser, West VA. A small town like the rest of West VA. Spiritually a heavy place. Poverty stricken area, annual average income is $23,000. So it's a run down town but there is so much history it's awesome. We worked with the Whitlock family. They were on staff at YWAM Tyler for about 20 years and God called 'em too West VA. a few years ago. So it was very good to be with family and encourage them. Uplift them, bring some Holy Spirit energizing. All that good stuff.
Monday we arrived and had a youth service right away at the church we have been staying at. It was very good. We had a plan of action, but God switched that all up and it went awesome. Had an awesome time of worship. Did The Challenge and went straight into intercession with the kids. Definitely have some prayer warriors here.
Tuesday we went to the college here. It's a branch off of West Virginia college. Patomic State. Very nice campus, pretty small. But we were doing a program Thursday there. Kind of a chill cafe atmosphere with us playin music and we also were doin or drama. That night it started snowing, we were supposed to go to a troubled kids home. But it got canceled because of snow. So Jason, the director of YWAM West VA here, took us around town to the different buildings and facilities he is believing God for. It's crazy how strategically placed these buildings are. But if they got them all it would be AWESOME. YWAM infiltration fillin this town with the presence of Jesus. Be prayin for YWAM West VA and the Whitlock family. Their vision for this area is so God breathed.
Wednesday we were hooked up with a local church and we did a kind of dwell night there. Youth and adults came. As well as other churches from around the area. 2 hours of worship to our King. Honestly, I don't know what gets better than that. The Youth were stirred up, Holy Spirit came, conviction, repentance, surrender, and our Father was glorified. I love hanging with God. Being on this outreach, on a worship team, having the PRIVILEGE, with my brothers on stage with me to lead people into His courts. I don't understand how good He is. But He is so, so good to me. "Better is one day in Your courts than thousands elsewhere." - Has truly come alive this trip. My own personal time with the Lord, conversing, singing to Him. Expressing my new found love for Him, finally. It's been so freeing and so beautiful at the same time. Still can NOT believe how far He has brought me this past year and a half. Truly a good Father I have.
Thursday was our day at the college. It was a very weird day to begin with. I was so exhausted, drained spiritually and physically. As was my team. We spent at least 3 hours at the college just chillin there. Just chillin, doin nothing. Expecting to go right into our whole 'shabang'. Bad mistake. We played a few songs. Did our drama, soon as we mentioned Jesus, 95% of the room was cleared. Very discouraging, but very eye opening. 3 people stayed. And we were able to pray with them, plant seeds in their hearts. If only one was saved on this outreach it would be worth it. Jesus is worth it. I wasn't prepared for that day. Even if the outcome was the same, my heart needed to be in the right place. Not by might, nor by power but by His Spirit indeed. We went into an intense battleground. Colleges are very intense area for ministry. What we did was the first time anyone had done something like that at the college, ministry wise. Prayer changes things though. I know that I know it does. I know something has started at the college and it will become fruitful.
Friday and Saturday were relax and hang out days. Being snowed in, a good 36 inches to be exact. Everything this weekend has been canceled. But I'm glad it was. Being able to rest. Re-energize. And hang out personally with God. After 5 weeks of constant pouring and pouring you start to feel the fatigue. God really poured into us through rest and dwelling with Him.
This trip has been so much pruning and tuning. Very much needed, but very painful at times. I'm moving into a delicate area in ministry. I need to truly reflect my King. And He knows it.
Monday we head back to Pennsylvania. Pottstown, PA. Looking forward to it. Love Pennsylvania. Only one week left. Crazy, crazy, crazy. Feels like I started this outreach yesterday. Hmm, God is so cool.
Be blessed, please continue to pray for me and my team.

P.S God has blessed me ya'll. Brought a very cool girl by the name of Ruth Valeria Molina into my life. She has grown on me ;) in a good way of course. I love her to death.

Another song.
Verse 1
Your heart beckons me
And I will answer
Your love says come to me
And I will run
Your grace has captured me
And now I am home
Verse 2
Your sweetness overwhelms me
I can not run from it
Your presence draws me in
And at your feet I will stay
Your beauty is beyond all words
And I stand amazed
Chorus
I want more, I want more
I want more, oh I want more
Will you grant me one wish
And show me more
Bridge
I am madly in love with You
I am madly in love with You
Your heart beckons me
And I will answer
Your love says come to me
And I will run
Your grace has captured me
And now I am home
Verse 2
Your sweetness overwhelms me
I can not run from it
Your presence draws me in
And at your feet I will stay
Your beauty is beyond all words
And I stand amazed
Chorus
I want more, I want more
I want more, oh I want more
Will you grant me one wish
And show me more
Bridge
I am madly in love with You
I am madly in love with You

Virginia Beach - January 25th - 31st
This week has been interesting. It's been encouraging, discouraging, joyful but also sad. I saw the goodness of God in many ways this week but He opened my eyes to the things of the world and how much they break His heart.
We arrived Monday night after a very long drive from Rhode Island. 14 hours. Praise the Lord!
Tuesday we were hooked up with a community house in one of the ghetto areas here. They run this house as a place of refuge I guess you could call it. For kids to just come and hangout. If they need a place to stay they open up the house for them. They are so influencing the community around them. The neighborhood has been changing and it feels lighter in the area. It was so encouraging hearing the stories of the kids and how much God has done for them through this community house. We were able to just come and be a blessing to them. We organized a few areas in the house, cleaned up some areas. Made it look all nice and neat. It was awesome to be a blessing to another blessing.
Wednesday we did the youth service at Providence New Life church. Our connection church. It went awesome. We did The Challenge(oh dear Lord) it went ok... I think hah! Really challenged 'em for missions and God set some people ablaze for it! Hallelujah. I was chosen to preach by the Big man upstairs (God). 150+ kids. I loved it. My sermon presses identity and worship out of your identity. God really touched some kids that night. Really poured love onto them, showed em destiny, purpose. I just wanna thank God so much. Looking at where I came from, hating church, hating missions. And now He has me in the field preachin the word and I love doin it. God's plan and purpose for us in life are so awesome. He's so cool.
Thursday was my day off and I was able to hang with my girl Bea. :) That was fun, it was good to see her again. Miss her dearly.
Friday was the beginning of the SST Mini we were running at the church. We kicked it off by being apart of the Justice Rally that took place at the church. INCREDIBLE night with the Lord. My heart and passion is for abortion and sex trafficking. So to be able to stand with about oh I don't know 1000+ believers and intercede for it was so amazing. They started it by showing a movie called "22 Weeks". If you get a chance and you want to know the reality of abortion, watch it. It's very intense. But God gave me a new revelation of how much His heart breaks everyday over this stuff. And He broke my heart again for it. I know this is what I am supposed to be doing. Doing what I can to fight against it. At the end they had a commissioning time. At least half the people came up. I felt the release of God to move into what He wants me to do.
Saturday we continued our SST Mini. Very tiring and long day but it was good. Alot of kids there, maybe 70? And they were touched. It's crazy to see what God can do in less than 24 hours. Seeing seeds planted and fruit come forth is so rewarding. I know where I am is where God wants me to be.
Sunday is just a very relaxing day and I'm praising God for it. Rest is needed. We leave for West Virginia tomorrow. Excited to see what happens there.
Please keep praying for me. I'll be posting soon what I'll be moving into next concerning what God wants me doing. Blessings on you all!

Saturday we continued our SST Mini. Very tiring and long day but it was good. Alot of kids there, maybe 70? And they were touched. It's crazy to see what God can do in less than 24 hours. Seeing seeds planted and fruit come forth is so rewarding. I know where I am is where God wants me to be.
Sunday is just a very relaxing day and I'm praising God for it. Rest is needed. We leave for West Virginia tomorrow. Excited to see what happens there.
Please keep praying for me. I'll be posting soon what I'll be moving into next concerning what God wants me doing. Blessings on you all!

A Song... maybe?
Verse 1
You saved me and gave me life
You took my heart and made it bright
You took my pain and made it yours
You gave me everything and more
Chorus
Jesus I love you
Jesus I love you
Jesus I love you, love you, love you
Verse 2
Words can not express
How beautiful Your holiness
Words can not express
Your love healed my brokenness
Chorus
Beautiful Jesus
Beautiful Jesus
Beautiful Jesus, beautiful, beautiful
Verse 3
I see you there upon the cross
My life I count it lost
You say come follow me
And where you are I will be
You saved me and gave me life
You took my heart and made it bright
You took my pain and made it yours
You gave me everything and more
Chorus
Jesus I love you
Jesus I love you
Jesus I love you, love you, love you
Verse 2
Words can not express
How beautiful Your holiness
Words can not express
Your love healed my brokenness
Chorus
Beautiful Jesus
Beautiful Jesus
Beautiful Jesus, beautiful, beautiful
Verse 3
I see you there upon the cross
My life I count it lost
You say come follow me
And where you are I will be
