Matt Encounters a Convict and His Heart Becomes Restless



"I'm not from Nashville. I'm from Columbia. There's a correctional facility around there and, well, I got out about a month ago."

He fit the profile. He was in worn clothes, a bright red jacket, dirty white shoes, and hadn't shaved for weeks. His mustache curled precariously over his upper lip and glasses sat as an ornament on the ridge of his nose. There wasn't much else to do standing in the remnants of the rain shower we just had fall on us, so I decided to strike up a conversation with James.

Ministering to Byron Bay with Children's Sidewalk Chalk



There were no erasers or boards, but there was chalk.
And chalk was the word God gave me. Before leaving the US. 
I thought it was going to turn into a creative fundraising event idea-but things never quite panned out.  I didn't know if I should give up on the idea or just allow God to evolve my understanding of His word "chalk". 

As ministry in Australia neared, chalk came up again, and I saw it everywhere the first week we were there. But what to do with this chalk? 

As I prayed, God put a verse about grass and flowers dying into my head for the hippie fickle town of Byron Bay. It was Isaiah 40. It went like this...

Intercession Team Member Recaps Her Time in Haiti



From the first day I got there to the minute I was getting in the car to leave, parents were coming up to me and HANDING me their kids. Not just to hold and to love – but to take. I didn't say anything. I didn't do anything. I was just there. Loving. Being Jesus to them. In the midst of it all, children were being given to me to take care of. Not only temporarily while I was in Haiti, but to bring home.

WR Location Feature: China



When going on the World Race, it's important to learn about the countries you're potentially traveling to. Having an understanding of the history and tidbits about the culture helps in relating to the people you will meet. There are numerous times while on the field, you will speak with locals who will refer to a particular situation in their country, whether it be past or present. Sara Choe (October 2008) sheds some light on the country of China for us.

In the Name of Jesus, Breathe! Part II



Feb. 26 A couple of hours after the accident, Matt and Dan went back to the Jinja Public Hospital to check on Trevor. Trevor had been admitted and his mother, Sarah, and close family friend, Nathan, were visiting. Matt and Dan talked to Sarah and Nathan and found out that the family is Christian and Nathan is the family's pastor.  

They told Matt and Dan that Trevor had woken up for a little while, but could not hear or speak. But, the doctor said he was hopeful that Trevor would make a full recovery. 

Although his cuts have been treated, Trevor's forehead is still badly swollen. 

After once again praying for Trevor, Matt and Dan leave.

In the Name of Jesus, Breathe!



They met for the first time in the Atlanta, Georgia airport back in May 2009. Matt Patch, Austin Anglea and Dan Snyder: instant brothers with much in common. After training camp the three of them had dreams and visions of the Lord using them together. Even though they'd talked about it with each other, none really knew what it could possibly look like. 

In November 2009, Matt, Dan and Austin were baptized together in the Jordan River by their brother, Aaron Bruner. As they prepared for the baptisms, they reminisced about the dreams and visions the Lord had given them and how He was going to use the three of them in His Kingdom to do huge things (read Aaron's blog about it here).

I Remember When Life was Easy



"I remember when life was easy," I think as I lay on a mattress, along with Aubrey and Jodi, that's been set up outside for us. The three of us and Robin are all sick with some sort of stomach bug that's zapped us of all of our energy. I think of how easy life is when you have a nice, clean, porcelain toilet when you're sick. How nice it is to have a Wal Greens, CVS, Wal-Mart or Target full of medications meant to make you better. 

How nice it is to have an air conditioned home so you're not constantly sweating. How nice it is to not have flies and bees swarming around you as you try to go. I remember picking up a bottle of Ozarka or Dasani, never worrying whether someone cruel filled it up with dirty, disease infested water using a syringe. 

I remember when life was easy because it wasn't that long ago.
