Body Parts

Oh what a treat! Anna and I were given the opportunity to volunteer at the Glory Reign conference, hosted by Voice of Pentecost, a truly divine meeting. Unlike the typical conference of believers gathering simply to feast on truths we already know, instead the purpose was a prophetic act of opening up the West Coast gates ushering in The King Of Glory! It was an event put on by Georgian & Winnie Banov (http://www.riverlution.net/) Speakers included Kris Vallotton (http://www.kvministries.com/) and Stacey Cambell (http://www.revivalnow.com/)
Worship teams from Family Christian Center located in Orangvale, Ca as well as Promise Land located in the heart of San Francisco. It was so neat to see a coming together of many different parts of the body especially in San Francisco, a city which God has not forgotten, is madly in love with and has purposed to transform the arts!

One unique part of the Body in the Bay Area holds the name Voice of Pentecost. Located in Ingleside, (a neighborhood of San Francisco, Ca) the very name they go by speaks loudly and prophetically into the streams of creativity flowing in and through San Francisco.

This house knows their purpose, they know their voice, they know that they have keys to transform the arts, dance, and media through movies! Their building is an old theater called "El Rey" (meaning The King) that was built in the 1930's and is in process of being restored to it's original beauty...all in God's timing of course. Little by little as they pray and ask God what is next to renovate as well as finances for the renovation, His faithfulness answers. Much sacrifice and waiting on the Lord for His infinite supply to flood in has strengthened their foundation. As a body on this journey of seeing God bring to pass all the promises He has spoken to them, I saw a tremendous strength, unity and dependency on God alone. Not the kind of dependency that says "oh poor, incapable me, God you need to rescue me..." NO! The dependency that confidently says "You are such a GOOD God, a faithful Daddy, so I sit here in confidence, in your presence and wait as I watch You unfold all my heart's desires, and fulfill every promise spoken to me!"

I absolutely fell in love with this body! I must share about a few of the treasures that are a part of this house. Senior Pastors Richard and Sandy Gazowsky- such sweetness and acceptance oozes out of them...its an unstoppable force! Their kids exterminate the lie of PK's (pastor's kids) always being the most rebellious kids in the church. Genuine, beautiful, talented, dancers, worshipers without reservations and confidence meshed with enjoyment of who they are in Christ is the foundation of this family. Nikki (the wonder woman that organizes their events, teaches in the school, mom of a 6 month old, wife, just to name a few of the hats she wears) was such an example of what a servants heart looks like. She was not required to help with the conference yet she went out of her way to make sure each of us volunteers requests were met with joy and smiles! Her love blew me away! What was so neat about this meeting was that before Anna & I moved out of our house in Redding, during the sweet devotional times connecting with Papa, I would hear Him speak to me about the different parts of the Body we would be meeting along the way. I envisioned that these times would be so much fun and that some really neat connections with some really cool and powerful people of God would be made. I imagined finding little pockets and crevices of radically on fire Jesus freaks that would further inspire me to go after my own dreams. I knew that they would be breathing life into me as I breathed life into them...How? Simply by being who God created me to be...ME ; ' )
