Please be praying for this weekend as D-cype will be here again along with some other artists from Manchester. The last outreach brought much fruit, the Lord blessed it and answered prayer. We are excited for this time around as even more invites have gone out and those that came last time are wanting to help out. Praise God for this great opportunity to get the Word out.

Thank you for all the prayers, God really did bless the kids so much this year. The feed back from many of the 75 youth that went was very encouraging. So exciting how the Lord is equipping the next generation in the U.K to be set apart and to live as Christ. The 6 reborn kids we brought had never seen anything like it, as they are living in darkness. They were shocked to see youth their own age on fire for the Lord, seeking to love Him more and to do His will.

This year's youth retreat is finally here. Our youth have waited anxiously for this day. We are so excited for this year as there will be many more youth groups from all over England and Scotland attending. This comes at perfect timing with our group of newly saved kids, it will be so encouraging for them to see other youth excited about Christ and living for Him. We are bringing 6 of our youth and there will be over 100 all together. We would appreciate your prayers for Miranda as she will be taking care of Judah as well as reaching out to the girls, for Zach as he will be teaching this year and for our youth, (Adam,Elly,Ellis,Steve,Paige,Danny)

May 3rd we sent in our visa applications!!!! After much answered prayer from the Lord we were able to apply for a 3 year extension. God is so good. It could be a few weeks or it could be a few months before we know the outcome. Please be praying for us in the financial side of things, just a few weeks before we applied the price for our family jumped...we are now paying 2,137.00 dollars (1,297.00 pounds) YIKES! We sent in our forms not having the money, but we are believing that if God is wanting us here then He will take care of it. We are praying that the money will be in the bank when they debit it. Exciting times :) We will let you all know as soon as we receive our visa's. Thank you for coming along side of us in prayer and support during this time.

Our Thursday Night Foundations group has now grown to 10. Last Thursday we discussed the importance of spending time with the Lord everyday. God is continuing to work in these kids' lives, as they are continuing to trust Him. They are so young and fragile, so new to this walk with Christ. So our prayer is that the Father continues to keep them. They are facing persecution already, from friends and family, they are beginning to see the cost of surrendering all to Christ.

The Thursday night Bible study is now on it's second week. Already people are coming from around this town of Beverley. Loren is going thru the book of Philippians and James is coming up from York to lead worship. We are excited to see what the Lord is going to do.

We had our second discipleship with the youth last Thursday, thank you for all your prayers! The evening went really well once again. It was great having Rob there, who has known the Lord for a couple years now, but is having problems growing up in Christ. The group as a whole is doing well, we spent time praying, digging in the Word and answering questions. Our time now is busier than ever, not only are we discipling this group as a whole, the youth are coming to both Miranda or I on an individual bases...makes for a busy, crazy time. These youth seem to each have their own trial before them and we are seeking to come along side them pointing them to Christ. Please be praying that God would train these youth up to disciple their friends. That the Lord would bring more laborers and/or raise them up.

Praise God for the lost who have come to Christ!!! 5 of our youth gave their lives to Christ either before the concert, during the or after the concert. God really worked in an amazing way the entire week. We are meeting with these and 3 other youth who are Christians in our living room every thursday. Last thursday was our first one and words can't describe how it went..but I will do my best. We simply opened up Ephesians and began discussing who we were before Christ and who we are now in Christ, some of the youth could only break down crying as they tried to express the new found joy of living a life after God. These youth began to see the realness of their new relationship with Christ. We will continue much like last Thursday to spend time going thru the Word, praying, and seeking to simply grow in the Lord. Please be praying for this time of discipleship and the growth of these kids. (Adam, Laura, Channi, Lisa, Mark, Steve.) and the other Christians (Liam, Matty, Rob)

We are excited to have Dave "D-CYPE" with us at Reborn. He is going to be sharing Christ thru rap and testimony. Along with others he will be performing @ rebron. We will be passing out fliers this weekend and next...we have about 500 fliers going out. We are prying that the more ruffer youth of Bridlington will show up as Dave can relate to them and has a heart for them. You can learn more about Dave at upsidedownlives.com

We are just about ready to send our applications away for an extended 3 year visa!!!
Very exciting but uncertain times as well, we will know the answer no later than May. It takes the Border Agency a few months to process everything. Please come along side us in prayer as we are seeking the Lord for His leading during this time. The Lord is continuing to grow our heart for the people here in northern England and for the ministry here. So it would be difficult to have to go home, but at the same time we just wants His perfect will to be worked out in our family.

God does provide!

God is so good! Someone in our church in Bridlington has purchased flight tickets to Hungary for Loren and Zach. It was to see how the Lord just laid it on someone's heart to provide in this way. This came in the perfect time as we did not have the money to fly over there. For our family it has been mind blowing to see God provide for us every day!!! Thank you for all your prayers.

We were able to go down to the embassy in London last week and apply for Judah's passport. He is now an American citizen, wooooooo! The Lord provided for us every step of the way, even when we were on the wrong train :( We took a couple days to site see with Randi's sister. Thank you for all your prayers!

Orphanage visit

December 2-10 Loren and Zach will be going to the Orphanage in Hungary to visit the orphans. They will be bringing gifts donated by the church. The point of the trip is to stay in touch with the orphans hat came to visit us and to continue to pour into there lives. Please be praying that God will supply all the needs for this trip, especially financially. These kids really do mean so much to the fellowship here in Brid so it is quite exciting that God is allowing us to continuing reaching out to them.

Hungarian Outreach

Thank you all so much for your prayers! The orphans had the time of there lives, literally. They had never experienced anything like this. They got to hear about how much God loves them and have fun exploring England as well. It was such a blessing to see how random people from the town were taking part by donating clothes to these kids. Also how the Reborn kids got to take part also. We definetly want to do this again next year and will be praying about that. Loren and Zach have been in contact with the leaders from the orphanage in Hungary and are praying about going for a visit in December, taking presents to these kids. What an incredible joy it is to be able to invest in there lives.

Christianity Explored

The Lord has provided Calvary Chapel and three other churches another amazing opportunity to reach out to our town! A local coffee shop called "coffee coast" is opening it's doors for us to host a 6 week study through the book of Mark. Zach went to the prayer meeting the churches had for this outreach and it was so exciting to hear all the prayers the fellowships had for this Event. Please pray with us for everyone who will be invited and also for the staff who we see quite often as this is our favorite coffee shop and it is right near our church. Christianity Explored begins on Sept. 14.

10 Hungarian orphans will be arriving in a week. Please be praying with us as we are opening up our doors for these kids and excited to watch the Lord work in there lives. There is a ministry in Hungary that reaches out to the youth there by taking them out of their element for a couple weeks to teach them the Gospel. They are bringing them to our church where our fellowship can share with them. Please pray that they will mix well with the youth here and that the Lord will also be working in the Reborn kids' lives :)

In August we will be taking a handful of Reborn kids to Creationfest! We are so excited for these guys to experience 7 days of Christian music, the Word, and fun. The event was handed over to Calvary Chapel last year so this means a lot of work for the Calvary Chapels in the U.K. Please be praying for all the volunteers who will be coming from all over, even a group of 80 coming from America, pray that the Lord will bring everything together and that the youth who come will be blessed. This is going to be a lot of work for us as we are working the youth tent all week, so please be praying for us as well that God will give us strength leading up to and during that week. Here is a link to the website www.creationfest.org.uk

Thanks friends

Praise the Lord for how He is working in these kids lives!!! Thank you all for your prayers, the youth retreat was excellent. We brought 6 youth from reborn and 4 of those youth do not know the Lord. There eyes were truly opened as they saw other youth from around the U.K excited about what Jesus has done in there lives. We had a little over 50 kids representing 9 calvary chapel and we are already thinking about next year. The 4 that went are very hard, but we have been able to see the Lord's longsuffering work in there lives as they continue to come to youth group and are becoming more open to the truth.

Thank you all for praying with us for the upcoming youth retreat! 6 youth have signed up and are already so excited to go this retreat. These are the kids that you can be praying for, (top to bottom) - Matty and his sister Rebby, Laura, Danny, Elly, and Rob. Please continue praying for these youth that God would really pull them out of darkness and open up there eyes. YAAAAAAAA!
