Dear Family & Friends,
As I type this letter I am in the Tauranga House of Prayer praying for the church in this city and crying out for revival. There are about 35 people gathered corporately in this room interceding on behalf of the nation of New Zealand. It’s powerful! You can feel the presence of the Holy Spirit and you can feel the faith in the room that what we’re asking for will be accomplished. We’re praying for a fresh wave of the Holy Spirit to sweep over the Bay of Plenty gathering many souls in this generation into the Kingdom. We know that as we cry out for revival and awakening in this nation God hears our prayers and He will answer our cries because it is in His heart to pour out His Spirit in this nation and the nations of the earth (Acts 2).

Tauranga House of Prayer - Why the internship?
As I’ve been praying about and seeking the Lord for direction in this next season of my life, I have felt more and more peace about doing the internship at THOP. Being in the prayer room over the last number of months (DTS lecture phase and since I’ve been back in Tauranga after DTS) has reminded me about how important prayer really is. My heart has been stirred to spend my life like Mary of Bethany, wasted at the feet of Jesus (Mark 14:3-9) and like Anna, before Him in prayer both night and day (Luke 2:37). Here are a few reasons why I want to be a part of this next internship:

*To grow more in love with Jesus. Really, nothing in life compares to knowing and loving God. I long to grow in my knowledge of who God is, how He feels and who I am before Him. I feel the Lord’s jealousy over my heart; how He just really wants me to take a season to focus my gaze completely on Him. No distractions or obligations other than to sit before Him, minister to His heart and pour my love on Him. He is so worthy of all of my heart, life and love!
*To go deep in the Word. I think one of the things I’m most looking forward to in this season is time and resources to go deep in the Word of God. His Word is life and I want to allow the truth of His Word to go deep in my heart.
*To go deep in prayer. I believe that the Lord moves at the sound of my voice. When I stand before Him and pray for revival in New Zealand, in Canada, in the States, in Europe and across the globe, He hears me. And He loves it! The greatest impact I can have is in the place of prayer because before things will shift and move in the natural, things will shift in the spirit. Our fight is not against flesh and blood but it’s in the Spirit and I truly believe that our impact in missions will be much greater when we start in the place of prayer.
*To be trained. Inasmuch as this season feels like a time away with the Lord (SOS 2:10), I know it is also a season of training. My heart is to see Houses of Prayer and Missions Bases raised up in the nations of the earth. The Lord is doing something incredible in the earth: The Prayer and Mission’s movements are coming together as one. I want to learn all that I can in this next season of being involved hands-on in both the prayer and mission’s movements.
