I was just involved with a prayer tour with Reality Carpentaria, Reality Los Angeles and Reality Stockton for the church plant of Reality San Francisco!! You are all aware of my desire to move to San Francisco?! Well, since I made the decision to move to S.F., I heard about Reality taking trips to the city to pray about the church plant and over the city. So I decided to take my own trip to the city and pray about me moving there. After meeting up with a dear friend from Bible College that now lives in the city and a taking a long walk on the beach with just me and the Lord; I checked out some more on the church plant by Reality. I came to realize I could not survive the city unless I had a solid church body to be involved with and one that I can really connect with.
The following Sunday at the Sr. High Leadership meeting, I shared with my peers about my desire to move to S.F. and my plans. Through a series of events starting with one dear friend to talk to another dear friend that has been following the church plant, which lead to another friend that is currently down south at Reality Carpentaria. That got me in touch with the pastor of Reality S.F.! Then another dear friend that attends Reality Stockton told me to contact someone in their fellowship in Stockton that is teaming up with the S.F. church plant. Which led to me joining up and filling the last spot on the Reality Prayer Tour with all three Reality churches!!
This trip confirmed my decision to move to the city and also revealed my new church body!! I connected with everyone I met! I already feel like family to these people. This trip was to educate us on the history of the city and to know how to better to pray for people and districts. We prayed the whole three days over the city and visited different districts of the city such as; Haight-Ashbury, Pacific Heights, Chinatown, North Beach, Mission and etc. It was a very fruitful trip. One man that we met even gave his life to Christ!!! We even prayed over a possible location for the church!! All the Christians we have come in contact all say there is something going on in the city and they don’t know what it is and are all very excited Reality’s arrival!! There is already another Prayer Tour planned and we can’t wait to see what is in store!! You can check out the church for yourself at http://www.realitysf.com/! So please keep me in prayer and more importantly keep San Francisco in your prayers!!
I am currently still working in Modesto and serving at Calvary Chapel Modesto in the Sr. High Fellowship. We have some events planned that are coming up soon. Please keep those things in prayer too. April 3-4 is an event called “The Weekend“! Since everyone’s wallets are tight, we will not be hosting the Northern California Calvary Chapel High School Summer Camp. Bummer, I know. Things are different this year. This means Winter camp is different too. “The Weekend” is our Winter camp this year. It will be held on the CC Modesto campus over night. We will have two of our Pastors teach the kids; Pastor Jonathan Kehler and Pastor Mark Carson. Both awesome men of God. And our theme is “Thy Kingdom Come (Matthew 6:10)”!!
We also have a joint effort with other High School Ministries in Modesto. This event is called “One Worship”. This is something where all our High School groups meet up and worship the Lord together. This will be on April 8th. You can check things out in regards to the High School Fellowship that we call “Unite” at www.unitehsf.com! We also got the “Formal” coming up and the Grads moving on and the Freshman coming up. And many other fun events coming up. Please keep us in prayer.
I plan on moving to S.F. in about 6 months. I am very excited to move, but this means the next 6 months will most likely seem like forever. Haha. And it’s going to be very difficult making this transition to S.F…only because of the kids. I’m ready to leave Modesto! But investing in these kids is the only real thing that will make it hard to leave.
So, this is it so far. Thank you for all your prayers!!
