To Know God...and Make Him Known

“It is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be ashamed, but that with fearless courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death.” Philippians 1:20

My Utmost for His Highest... 

“My Utmost for His Highest. We shall all feel very much ashamed if we do not yield to Jesus on the point He has asked us to yield to Him. Paul says—‘My determination is to be my utmost for His Highest.’ To get there is a question of will, not of debate nor of reasoning, but a surrender of will, an absolute and irrevocable surrender on that point…When we consider what it will cost others if we obey the call of Jesus, we tell God He does not know what our obedience will mean. Keep to the point; God knows. Shut out every other consideration and keep yourself before God for this one thing only— ‘My Utmost for His Highest.’ I am determined to be absolutely and entirely for Him and for Him alone. Do you believe in a miracle-working God, and will you go out in surrender to Him until you are not surprised  an atom at anything He does? You have to learn to go out of convictions, out of creeds, out of experiences, until, so far as your faith is concerned, there is nothing between yourself and God.” [excerpts from Oswald Chambers Jan 1&2]Missions...

Now, more than ever, the call of the followers of Jesus to make disciples of all nations is of Utmost importance! Fear of death, anxiety, hatred, anger, violence, depression, hopelessness, discord, fear of man, and more are at the highest rates in recent history. The cost of failing to yield to Jesus is astronomical. The cost of disobeying Jesus to satisfy man's desires is unthinkable. We are at a crossroads in human history and the only thing that has ultimate power in this hour is the Cross!! Christ and Him crucified is the message that people need to hear TODAY. 'If today you hear His voice...harden not your heart.' Pour out your alabaster jar, today, at the feet of Jesus, then go and do whatever He commands. New Year...Liz and I continue to find ourselves stunned at the goodness of God. What started as an Instagram Message to me, from an unknown person, ended with an incredible NYE worship event in Texas and our ohana being expanded 10 fold. Matthew 6:33 is fulfilled in many ways when we lay everything down to adore our King Jesus in worship. When we truly worship (in Spirit and Truth) the almighty God, how can we seek any other kingdom than that of God's that's filled with His righteousness?? 'Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. And all these things shall be added unto you." We believe that God is about to release Spiritual food and drink to those who have been relegated to a dry and thirsty land. With this in mind, we are jumping in with some of our DTS (Discipleship Training School) outreach teams in California to release worship, truth, and activation. We are believing for salvations and for lives to be fully yielded to the plans of Jesus. To see the everyday believer awakened and revived in such an unprecedented time. Jesus is our only Hope. His Church is His preferred hands and feet.  Thank You For Your Prayers!Please keep praying. Our original plan was to head home to Kona in December but God continues to re-route us. We find ourselves here on the mainland open handed to whatever God would want us to do. In the meantime we continue to believe for and contend for our new home in Kona. We have promises from God over this but we understand that we need to yield to His timing and to His plans. The need in our country and the nations of the earth is great. We pray our family, and yours, would be found faithful to the call of God in this crucial moment of history!We Do This Together...Thank you so much for standing with us in this mission that God has sent us on as a family. Without your partnership, financially and in prayer, none of this is possible! Thank you for your perseverance with us to see people “know God…and make Him known!” We praise God together with you knowing that He's not surprised by all that's going on in the world and that He's working out His plans! What a GREAT GOD WE SERVE!!!May the Lamb receive the full reward of His suffering!!Peace be with you,Chris, Lizzi, Malakai, Laila, Rhema, and Moses
