ACTION WEEKEND! April 16-17

Hi everyone,

If you can come, please clear your calendars for the 3rd weekend in April. There are a few really AWESOME classes being offered at our "Action Weekend." Ohio and Michigan friends, email us and let us know if you'd like to come over for that Friday and/or Saturday. Small group peeps, come out for an incredible weekend... we all need more training for small groups, prayer and knowledge. Doesn't it sound great to spend a Friday night and Saturday morning growing in Jesus?

HERE'S THE CLASSES BEING OFFERED...

Doing Reconciliation with Alexander Ventor (a Vineyard Bible Institute Class)

Encounter God - a retreat style class that will reveal more of God through self evaluation

Learning to Minister Like Jesus - an in-depth look at how to pray for others

How to Lead a High Impact Small Group - small group training for future leaders, small group apprentices, or anyone interested in how to lead/how your leaders do it

More Light - a deeper way to receive prayer/give prayer (must take Learning to Minister first)

When the download hits for work every month, I get crazy busy for about a week. That's really hard in the middle of a fast...lol. Anyway, I put in tons of hours over the last week. Sunday being the craziest, I went on inspections from 6am-10:30am. I happened to be in Danville, so I went to worship there. Helped with the prayer team and prayed for healing for a couple's uncle. Good stuff... and great message from the Vineyard's youth pastor Leah (www.thevineyardchurch.us/podcast). More amazing, she preached while several months pregnant... very impressive. Afterwards, I got back in the car till 4pm. Then, we had an amazing small group sunday night from 5-7pm. God really moved in the guys' prayer group. I think there was some good release... and we prayed for Emma's ear and on monday, the Dr's said that everything was healthy and good... amazing!

Finally, for now anyway, our church is in week #2 of our fast. I feel like God is moving closer to answers and breakthroughs for many of us. BUT, we are weakening physically, so many are beginning to feel the spiritual attacks. Keep praying friends! Stress of family, finances, work and more are the easiest ways to weaken your resolve. Press in and let God show you his victory.

In His Grip,

adam

IMPORTANT Support News...

Hi friends!
As you know, we are trying to raise $24,000 over a 2-year period to help offset the cost of living while Corrie and I are immersing ourselves in the planting process with the Vineyard. This first year has gone pretty well so far (see numbers to the right). Even in the face of setbacks, we've had tremendous blessings. For instance, one of our monthly givers has had to pull back on their support, so our monthly blessings are a little less than expected. On the other hand, the past few weeks have more than made up for that loss. God is so amazing. In the past few weeks, we seen the following blessings roll in:
**$260 reimbursement check from our homeowners insurance in Ohio
**$250 gas card to help with Adam's travels for his day job
**$100 one-time gift
Isn't that tremendous! God is so good to our family.

FINAL NOTE: Corrie and I are participating in a church-wide fast from March 14th-April 4th. Adam's is a more strict fast. Corrie, due to the pregnancy, is fasting from sweets, soda and FaceBook. Pray that the Lord not only gives us strength over the next couple of weeks, but that He also reveals and breaksthrough into our lives and the lives of our church.

There is already a story of a little boy being healed of a skull/brain issue (on March 8th). Amazing story!

Blessings friends,
