Feb 8 – Signs, Wonders and Simple Church Planting in Taiwan!
On the third day of the Taiwan for Jesus conference and final night of the crusade, heaven invaded earth in Taipei. During the day sessions students continued to move out in prophetic evangelism. We also trained them in “divine healing” to pray for the sick out on the streets, one story that came back was amazing.
Give Me Your Crutches!
One student reported to us on the stage that she and a team went out to a park near the university to pray for the sick. They saw an older man with crutches sitting on a park bench. They went up to him and asked him if they could pray for him, believing that Jesus would heal him and give him the ability to walk. One of the girls shared her faith with him and asked him “give me your crutches!” He was a bit reluctant at first, and wasn’t sure if she was for real, so she took the crutches out of his hands and told him to rise up and walk. She then told us that the man got up and didn’t just start walking, but he started running around the park and was healed in Jesus name! She was so funny, when she shared this testimony she had no emotions on her face and just shared what had happened. Wow! Praise God that He uses ordinary people to do extraordinary works for His kingdom! This student stepped out in faith by putting her faith into action and saw God’s compassion touch a man who could barley walk begin to run for God’s glory!

Feb 7 – The Cross Sets Us Free!
The second day, was equally intense and miraculous. In the morning I released two messages. One on the “Father’s Heart” and the second on “Core Identity” both of these messages hit deep into the heart of the students as it exposed the lies of Satan and the shame he had tried to hold them in. I shared about my own struggles with sin and shame, my recent experiences at “Singing Waters” Canada and how God had given me a new born again experience. Setting me free from “performance” and releasing me into His divine grace. To no longer live for man’s approval, but to live out of the place of being already approved by God because of the finished work of Jesus on the Cross.

I’ve been privileged to work with student leaders from different So Cal campuses this past year and half. Their hearts burn for one thing: to know Him and make Him known in our generation. There is a unusual movement of Biblical “unity” touching the university campuses of Southern California like I have never seen. Even in the past 2 months I have spoken or been connected to unity movements at Cal Poly Pomona, UCLA, USC, UCI and now Ignite, a city wide coming together of God’s children seeking His face in repentance, unity and revival. Don’t mis-read this, what we are seeing here is not just “unity for unity’s sake” it is “unity with a purpose” God is calling forth His body at this hour to “Unite in Prayer” and “Unite in Action” to evangelize the lost and fill the earth with the knowledge of His glory. I gave a prophetic word to the USC body of Christ in the first semester of 2006 that a “university prayer movement” would come forth out of this campus touching every other campus in Los Angeles, I believe Ignite (sparked by a USC weekly prayer meeting) will be the small beginning of something massive. In the coming years, we will see networks of student-led simple churches, touching and multiplying into the regions and cities of LA by the hundreds and thousands. Then I believe at strategic moments, these networks of simple churches will gather in stadiums, city-wide to celebrate and worship the King, pronouncing His fame to the cities and nations. It will come forth, these stadium gatherings maybe once a month, or a few times a year, where the “Church” gathers as a “city wide church” just like we see in the book of Revelations. There will no longer be denominational and doctrinal divisions, but rather one common vision of “Lifting up Jesus so all men will be drawn unto Him.” It is building the “House” (city-wide church) and “households” (networks of simple churches). I know it will happen, in the coming years “The Rose Bowl” and other stadiums will be filled with over a hundred thousand Christ followers once a month, praising God, interceding and proclaiming the Kingdom with signs, wonders and miracles for the city to encounter and awe at His presence. There will be tens of thousands of believers networked in simple churches on campuses, in the marketplace, in communities and neighborhoods, all over the cities daily breaking bread, enjoying fellowship, praying and giving themselves to the apostolic teaching while enjoying favor with all, saved and unsaved, Holy Spirit let it come to pass, a 4th wave of not only revival in Southern California once again, but a mighty reformation and revolution of the Church rising up as your spotless and beautiful Bride.
As many of you know, this past December 31st, we held a special “Asian Breakout Session” at the onething Conference in Kansas City. It was a powerful time where 300+ students and young adults were challenged and re-envisioned to transform East Asia and bring the Gospel back to Jerusalem. Mike Bickle came and shared on Asia’s role in the end times as revealed in Daniel 11 and Revelation 16:12-14. God is raising up another student volunteer missions movement!
If you were not able to make that session, we will be holding a similar breakout session at onething Laguna Niguel this Saturday, February 16-18, 2007! It will be during the workshop portion on Saturday, from 2pm-4pm.
We would like to invite you to this session if you’re in the area, please contact your friends and extended networks about this conference!
Grace and peace!

Feb 6 “A Trip to Hell”
The first day of the “Taiwan for Jesus” gathering we held training for student leaders in the morning and evening Gospel crusades in the evening. Over 2,500 student leaders were trained during the morning powerfully by Pastor Philip to go deeper in fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit, returning to a radical love for God’s Word and in the afternoon I trained the students in “prophetic evangelism” in the power of the Holy Spirit.
I trained the students to listen to the Holy Spirit in teams of 2 and 3, to write down any words of knowledge the Holy Spirit would give them (clues: such as people, places, things, etc) they saw in the spirit, and then be sent out to go look for them in the streets, believing the Holy Spirit would lead them to specific people to prophesy over, bless and share the Gospel with. Yes, 2,500 did it and the reports that came back were CRAZY GOD!
