September 2018 update

Kingdom Partners Global

Every time we think we are finished with the paperwork and have Kingdom Partners Global up and running, we get a letter from IRS or State of Wisconsin about unemployment insurance or workman's comp insurance or we are missing some forms… One would think that they could develop a more streamlined approach! Also, that the Federal Government would communicate with the State Government. So we just keep filling stuff out and sending it in. A special thank you goes out to David Johnson for helping me navigate all these forms.

Moving into the Fall is kind of like starting the new year according to church calendars  and school calendars. This summer is the first summer that I have not been involved in a missions trip. It was a very wise decision based on all that was going on at home with Koral getting married and moving to England shortly afterwards and John and Marie visiting the U.S. for the month of August. I also took a trip with my brothers to spread my Dad’s ashes. Needless to say, it’s Go Time……

Allies

A few years ago I thought I was moving on from Youth Ministry. Yet instead of that happening, I am now hands-on with two youth groups: I’m a sponsor at my brother Matt’s church, The Tabernacle, where I work along side our son-in-law David and our daughter Kellie, which I have done for years, and now I also am working with Living Light Christian Church, the church where we are members, along side our son David and his wife Amy. Living Light has a new youth leader so I am there to help with the transition and do whatever is needed. Both Racine and Kenosha youth Allies groups are in full swing. (Racine takes a break for the summer and Kenosha meets as best they can around the busy summer schedules of the Youth Pastors.)

Senior Pastor Allies continues to move forward. God has really been speaking about unity and the Churches coming together. Psalms 133 has been highlighted to us several times by various people.

Psalm 133 says…

1   How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!

2   It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe.

3   It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion.  For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.

We are committed to praying for our city and each other weekly and are eager to see what the Lord is going to do through this group.

On August 5th, Acts Church (a predominantly African American church) and The Tabernacle (a predominantly white church) came together for the second “One Voice,” a joint Sunday service.  This one was held outside down at the lakefront, with a BBQ and games immediately following the service. The service concluded with baptisms. Some of the baptisms were prescheduled and others were spontaneous, it was amazing. This was a time for the church to come together to give praise and glory to God with “One Voice”. It was a major step forward on the unity front for Kenosha, at a time when our nation is racked with racial tension and strife. And while I had no specific part in the actual service, I was able to attend, and my work with the Allies has helped to set the foundation for the two churches coming together. I feel that this was another step forward in the unity process of the church of Kenosha.

Family Update:

Question - What does it take to save a $1000.00 on your car insurance? 

Answer - Marry off your daughter and have her move out of the country.

These two photos spoke to me of our family’s love for each other. Some things don’t change with time. (Kellie/Koral then and now)

There has got to be a better and easier way to save money! Koral is now Married! It’s as I have said before, “It’s the day that Daddies dread and little girls dream of.” August 18th was an amazing day and things went amazingly smoothly. It’s crazy to think that both Koral and Divan were born in Africa! He in South Africa and she in Kenya.The service was live streamed  since so many family members across the country and the world could not attend.  It was the day Koral dreamed of, and she was swept off her feet by her knight in shining armor. Everyone was Oh, so happy, (well, almost everyone).  It was extremely hard to say goodbye when she walked out of the church not knowing when we would she her again, because she was moving across the pond to England.  Koral and Divan are residing in Taunton, England, about 20 minutes away from John and Marie in Wellington, England.  Although it is hard, we take comfort in the fact that this is how we raised our children: to grow up, leave our home and follow God wherever He may lead, no matter what.  So in the midst of our sadness, we know that it’s the right thing that needed to happen.

The end of August was a chance for me to get away with my 3 brothers and good friend John for a week.  We traveled to Northern MN to the BWCA (Boundary Waters Canoe Area) where there are no motors allowed. We had to paddle all of our food and equipment in and portage from lake to lake.  We also cooked over the open fire. It was fantastic!  I felt like a real Lewis and Clark.  We spent a lot of time canoeing and fishing and enjoying being away from civilization and people.  It was also an emotional time as we took the opportunity to spread our Dad’s ashes at his favorite fishing lake.  It was a great week, but also a physically grueling one, though well worth it.  It had been over 40 years since I had been to those specific lakes.  I love spending time in God’s beautiful creation.

Please continue to pray for us as we try to move Kingdom Partners forward.  Thanks for taking time to read and pray!

March 2018 Update

Kingdom Partners Global

Kingdom Partners Global is up and running. We are officially a 501(C)3.  We received our confirmation letter from the IRS February 21, 2018; we have completed all of the paperwork for the State and Federal governments.  We have opened a business account, purchased a web domain and some software, ordered some t-shirts, are working on business cards and have the beginnings of a website up and running (kingdompg.org). We even have on-line giving setup. Its a crazy feeling seeing this come to life.

It has unfolded more rapidly than expected due to the fact that the Allies senior pastors, the group I work with, decided that the best way to run our Naturally Supernatural Conference at the beginning of March was through Kingdom Partners. It’s hard to run the books through something that doesn’t fully exist yet.

A special “Shout Out” to our son-in-law David Johnson who was so instrumental! Without his knowledge and skills, I’d still be trying to figure out how to get this baby done. Please continue to pray as we get everything in working order.

NSN Kenosha 2018

Naturally Supernatural is a conference about discovering the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of the Believer. It is also a unity event about bringing the churches of Kenosha together.  

This was the second time that we put on this conference; the last time was back in Oct 2015. We had over 300 people attend this year, from 14 different churches. Once again, my friend Mike Pilavachi from Watford, England, was the main speaker. Mike is a world-renowned speaker, known widely outside of the U.S., and it was our privilege to host him here in Kenosha. The festivities kicked off on Wednesday evening where we brought together over 150 youth for The Gathering, a reoccurring worship and prayer night.

Mike spoke and led a ministry time where we waited on the Holy Spirit to come and minister to people and heal them; it was very powerful. Thursday was a pastors’ and leaders’ dinner and prayer time. It was a small, intimate gathering of about 25. The conference kicked off on Friday evening.  The Worship Band was a combination of 4 different churches joining together for powerful times of worship. We enjoyed powerful teaching on the Holy Spirit along with a panel of seven local pastors talking about having the Holy Spirit involved practically in our daily lives.  Each session ended with ministry times where we as the church were able to pray for one another as the Holy Spirit ministered, this was my favorite part of the whole conference! 

It was so amazing to see how gentle and kind God is as He speaks to His children and healing takes place. It was also a growing time for me as God began using me Prophetically in the setting of the Church at large. He gave me two prophesies: one for the churches of Kenosha and Racine, and one for married couples. Some of you may struggle with, “Is Prophecy for today?” My friend Wayne Drain says in his book He Still Speaks,

“Prophecy is simply God making His word alive and real in regards to a specific situation. No authentic prophecy will ever contradict scripture.”

1 Corinthians 14:1 says, “Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.” A few things to help you with prophetic words… First, prophetic words will never contradict scriptures so always weigh them in light of scripture. Second, prophecy is for strengthening, encouraging, and comforting the body of Christ. 1 Corinthians 14:3 “But one who prophesies strengthens others, encourages them, and comforts them.” A lot of people die in car accidents but we don’t quit driving because some people aren’t following laws and aren’t being safe. We adhere to the rules of the road and do our best to be safe. The same is true of prophecy, although some twist and misuse it for their personal gains, we choose to follow the rules and use it for the sake of the Church.

Family Update

Spotlight Koral

The big news on the home front is that Daddy’s little girl is getting married. Yes, its true, Koral is engaged. Divan Van Rensburg was finally able to secure his passport from the English government as he is in  the process of becoming a UK citizen (He currently holds South African citizenship.) And was able to come for a visit to meet the family at the end of January and the beginning of February. On Jan 27th he popped the question. Now our lives once again hit crazy mode as we prepare for Koral’s wedding, August 18th, 2018, and her departure for England once they are married. It will be crazy having two married children living  across “the pond”.

John & Marie

I was able to visit John & Marie in their new home in February, as I took several pastors to the Naturally Super Natural Conference in Watford, England.

John is playing American Football!  Taunton, the city next to were he lives, is starting an American Football Club.  So John once again is using his God-given athletic talents.  He had a scrimmage the week before Easter.  In typical John fashion, he ran the 2nd play from scrimmage for an 80 yard T.D.  Hello, England, please enjoy our game!

David & Amy

Are still living 20 mins to the north of us.  David is the shipping manager at CPV (Custom Painted Vehicles).  And Amy is teaching Math at Jerstad Middle School in Racine.  They both work in our church youth group and are leaders in their Home Group from church.

David & Kellie

Are living 20 mins to the south of us.  Kellie is at Gateway College where she is working on her RN and David continues to work at The Tabernacle as Associate Pastor.


Recap of “Kingdom Partners Global”

In short, Kingdom Partners’ purpose is to “Awaken the Church to Unity and it’s Missions”. Our three main areas of service will be:

  1. ALLIES - A prayer movement that focuses on the local church and encourages leaders of local congregations to unite, despite differences of denomination & theological perspectives. It’s primary focus is to experience the Presence of God together as brothers and sisters to see Jesus made known through the local church.

  2. AMANI HAVEN - A state-of-the-art facility in Kenya, Africa, that will exist as a haven for girls who have been orphaned, are homeless, or their families are unable to properly care for them. Amani Haven will primarily be operated by Kenyan women. The girls/women of Amani Haven will reach out to their community in Christian service.

  3. RESTING PLACE - Also known as the “spiritual spa,” Resting Place is a retreat center whose sole purpose is to provide an environment for people in full-time or part-time ministry to find solace, refreshment, and space to reconnect. Here, people doing God’s work can find prayer, silence, encouragement and connection with others who are about God’s work.

Neither Amani Haven nor The Resting Place have been established yet…those we are believing (in FAITH) will come! We are excited to get this going and to see what God will do!  

We feel very out-of-our-element at the task ahead of us, but we know that it can be accomplished because God has called us to it. We covet your prayers as we move forward and try to bring about that which God is speaking to us.


Thanks to All ......

We are eternally grateful to all of you who have journeyed with us over the years.  It is our hope that you will continue to move forward with us in this next step.  We covet your prayers and financial support in this upcoming endeavor that God has laid on our hearts as we move forward to do His will.

If you feel led to support us, we would be so grateful to have you partner with us.
