Missionary Work in Mexico

My daughter, Meghann, has just finished her DTS with YWAM San Diego-Baja and is starting her Outreach Phase tomorrow. She will be preaching in Mexico City about "Identity" and sharing her testimony along with practical work that expresses the love of Jesus to people who have not encountered His life changing love. Megs and her two children, Shya (5 yrs) and Hunter (3 yrs) will be able to experience this together which I think is a wonderful blessing! I love that my grandchildren are carrying on the family call to the nations!



Here is an update in Meghann's own words:

"Buenos dias" from Tijuana! We are blessed to inform you that after 12 weeks of Discipleship Training School, we are ready for outreach! I have grown so much closer in relationship with the Lord through my class lessons. Its so amazing to be living in the freedom of the Lord! He has exchanged the unholiness I had in my heart for purity, He has showed me what true love is, as a Bride of Christ, through the intimacy of hearing His voice and quiet times. I have traded my orphan spirit for a Heavenly inheritance and living daily in the truth that I am a child of God! He has been my provider for all I need- whether it be spiritually or physically. I am completely in love with God and am whole in Him. One of the best things I've learned is that the mistakes I've made in the past don't determine my value, my true value is just simply in knowing God and His love! Having intimacy with Him and reading His Word daily is so transforming that my identity stays firm in Him and having that Fear is so healthy and is awesome!!!! I now have 8 weeks to bless others with what I've learned. The kids and I will be going to Mexico City for two weeks to serve a church through doing a Kid's Camp & teaching a sermon on "Identity" and will give my testimony in the Sunday service and be evangelizing locally as well. Then we'll be back in Tijuana for the remainder to help out with ministries here. I will be helping in the Women's Prison, tutor English & Math to the poor youth in Circulo Andante Ministry, and also be a part of the Zone Kids Ministry that reaches out to the kids of the Red Light district community in Tijuana with Bible stories & crafts & games at the local park. We ask that you please keep us in your prayers as we commit our lives to showing God's great love to those in need! Thank you for your support and God bless! :)

Jenta mi


This is my granddaughter Shya and I think she is glorious. She is in Mexico with her mom and brother participating with the All Nations, All Generations DTS. This is her new 'pet' - - a cricket. You can see from her shining eyes that she is very proud of him. Shya has the kind of heart that is quick to love and see beauty in all things, even the smallest creatures. She chimed up a wee while ago that she knew what she wanted to be when she grew up. Her mom asked what that might be and Shya answered, "A worship leader!" 

There is a 24/7 prayer and worship room on the base that connects with IHOP in Kansas City. Shya asks her mom to take her there all the time and I think that's remarkable for a five year old. During her first visit to the prayer room, her mom looked up to discover that Shya had the microphone and was singing, "Jesus loves us and He knows just what we need." I think this is remarkable AND glorious!

Shya comes from a line of  Norwegian women who were intercessors and worshipers. Her great-great-grandmother was from Austad, Norway and she was a lover of Jesus, an intercessor, pastor and teacher. Her great-gramdmother is a praying woman who stands for Jesus no matter the pressures around her. She also has a worshiping, praying mother who has a heart for the nations and the oppressed. She is the fifth generation of worshipers and I am so proud and blessed to see the Light of Jesus shining in her eyes. 

Today, I am overflowing with thankfulness for a patient and loving Father who has freed us from a legacy of sin because of the blood of His Son and who has made a way for Shya to stand firm in an inheritance that is unshakable. Run with all your heart, Shya, after the purposes of God! May you love Him more and more each day and discover the truth that He is a treasure more valuable than anything you will ever know in this life-time!

Jeg elsker deg, jenta mi
