Burning Ones

"Go into all the world and make disciples of all men, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit."

Tracy and I know that we have been called by God to go into all the world.  Before we ever met, God called each of us individually to be missionaries.  I was on an airplane headed to Seattle when God told me I was going to be a missionary.  I thought to myself, "Is that really you God?"  5 minutes later I picked up a book I hadn't read in 2 months.  The first line where I had left off 2 months before read, "Therefore go and live according to the calling you have received."

This blew my mind!  I knew from that moment forward that God does speak to me.  He spoke so clearly to me, and did the same for Tracy.  One time, a man who didn't know Tracy came up to her and said that he saw the word, "MISSIONS" above her head, only confirming what God was already speaking in her heart.
There is a burden on our hearts to share with the Lost what their Father God has done for them.  There are so many dead and dying people that are desperate for the hope of Jesus Christ



If you know anything about our story, Tracy and I met a few years ago in Belize.  God revealed to me the burden on Tracy's heart, which was the exact same as my own.  We were married just a year later, and have spent the last year getting to know each other in a deeper way.
Here comes the good part....  While we were in South Africa, God was stirring in our hearts and told us we would be going back to Belize.  Of all the places in the world, this was the last that I wanted to go.  We knew that God had his hand all over the situation, and since then my heart has changed for Belize.

Starting April 11, we will be going to Belize, Central America to be missionaries at the YWAM base there on Ambergris Caye. http://ywamdp.org/
  Currently we will be staffing Discipleship Training Schools (DTS), acting as mentors, leaders and so much more.  Our current focus will be on the students who come to learn about God.  DTS is a 5 month training time, 3 months in Belize of Lectures and heart change, and 2 months of Outreach, which could be basically anywhere in the world.  We believe that for the time being, this is where God is leading us, and we don't know exactly how long we will be there, but we do know that it will be for at least a year or so.



We have huge plans for the future: change the world, saving as many people as possible both spiritually and physically.  We are so grateful for all of the people who will be partnering with us and joining our team.  Thanks for your support and prayers!





"We are the Burning Ones of God, set ablaze with the all consuming fire of God's love, sent forth to preach the gospel to all nations, turning the hearts of the children to the Father!"

  1. Too legit! This makes me want to go with you! I know God has called me to be a Revivalist to the U.S. Just as in the days of Wesley I want to see this place turned upside in a new Great Awakening! You are continually in our prayers. Maybe Bethany and I can come visit you guys down there or even bring my youth down when DTS isn't going on. If that ever happens.
