UPDATE ON IZABELLA

Hi Mary,

Ashley is doing good as well as Izabella. Izabella ended up not needing surgery- praise God. They are at home now and Izabella just needs to get a check up with the Urologist to make sure all is good. How are you doing? How was your Thanksgiving?

Thanks for putting my sister and niece on your blog- that was really sweet of you.

Love,

Vanessa

JUST BEING SILLY

CHIP IS VERY UPSET TODAY

YES IM UPSET....... TO MANY OF MY RELATIVES ARE BEING EATEN TODAY.....WHY OR WHY CANT YOU ALL EAT TOFURKEY LIKE MY MOM DOES. SHE WOULD NEVER EAT ONE OF MY RELATIVES. THAT IS WHY I LOVE HER SO MUCH,.,,, I THINK SHE MAY BE TIRED OF ME TODAY THOUGH I HAVE BEEN ON HER SHOULDER ALL DAY TIL NOW I AM HIDING AND TYPING ON THE COMPUTER...SHE SAYS I LEAVED FEATHERS ON IT. WELL SORRY FOR THE ALL CAPS BUT YOU TRY TO SHIFT UP AND DOWN WHEN YOU ARE ONLY USING A BEAK TO TYPE. OH I BETTER GO HERE COMES MOM......

JUST THINKING OUT LOUD

TOMORROW I AM DOING SOMETHING NEW. USUALLY ON HOLIDAYS I AM ALONE HERE IN MY ROOM , BUT A FRIEND ASKED ME TO DINNER TOMORROW AND I AM GOING THERE WILL ONLY BE FOUR OF US WHICH IS GOOD SINCE I PANIC IN DINNER SITUATIONS. STARTING OUT SMALL WILL BE GOOD. AND IT IS VERY LOW KEY.

TONIGHT I WAS TALKING WITH MY NEPHEW WHO LIVES IN TEXAS HE IS GAY. I HAD ANOTHER NEPHEW WHO WAS GAY BUT HE DIED LAST YEAR. WELL HE WAS ASKING ME ABOUT PROP 8 HERE IN CALIFORNIA AND HE SAID IM SURE YOU VOTED YES, WHICH I DID. GOD MADE MARRIAGE BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN. WELL HE WAS SO UPSET AND SAID SOME REALLY MEAN THINGS TO ME. SAID I WAS A SELF APPOINTED CHRISTIAN AND THAT WE WHO VOTED YES DID SO TO PUNISH GAYS. WELL IT IS NOT UP TO ME OR ANYONE ELSE TO PUNISH ANYONE. jUDGEMENT IS FOR GOD ALONE. HE IS THE ONLY PERFECT JUDGE. HE TOLD ME TO GET OFF MY HIGH HORSE OF SELF RIGHTOUSNESS AND STOP ATTACKING GAYS. IT LOOKS TO ME THAT HE IS THE ONE WHO DID THE ATTACKING NOT ME I DID NOT EVEN BRING IT UP ONLY ANSWERED HONESTLY WHEN ASKED. I DON'T ARGUE RELIGON WITH ANYONE FRANKLY I DO NOT KNOW ENOUGH TO BACK MY SELF UP SO I SHY AWAY FROM THAT KIND OF THING, BESIDES THE BIBLE WAS GIVEN TO BE ARGUED ABOUT. I ALWAYS LIKE TO ACCEPT PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE AND LET GOD DO THE WORK. ALL I CAN DO IS LIVE MY LIFE BEFORE THEM AS I FEEL GOD WOULD HAVE ME DO.

I HAVE TO ADMIT THIS HAS ME A BIT SAD TONIGHT. WELL VERY SAD I DO NOT LIKE CONFLICT WITH ANYONE. I ALWAYS TURN IN INWARD THEN START TO BELIEVE I WAS WRONG. NOT THAT I AM PERFECT BUT I DID NOT EVEN OPEN THIS SUBJECT UP. I KNEW BETTER.

MARY I AM GOING TO HAVE DINNER WITH SOME FRIENDS,. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING

PRAY FOR YWAM

YOUTH WITH A MISSION IN INDIA IS UNDER ATTACK THIS CAME TO OUR CHURCH OFFICE PLEASE PRAY FOR THEM. THIS IS THE SAME GROUP THAT HAD THAT ATTACK IN COLORADO A YEAR OR SO AGO.

This is a request for prayer for YWAM missionaries and their churches in Orissa, India. The request came from her friend, Mable Hurst, an associate
of HCJB Global. Please read and make this a matter of urgent prayer.
Dear beloved sponsors and friends of Good News India,
We have never seen anything like this. We knew that Orissa was the most resistant and hostile State in India as far as the Gospel is concerned. And we brushed off the continuous threats and harassment we faced as we went about His work. But none of our staff imagined that they would see this kind of carnage.... And it seems to be totally under the radar of the Western Media..... Let me explain.... A militant Hindu priest and 4 of his attendants, who were zealously going around the villages of Orissa and re- converting people back to Hinduism, were gunned down by unknown assailant Orissa last weekend. Immediately the Christians were blamed. The cry rose up...'Kill the Christians!' And the horror began....
In the past 4 days, we have first hand witness to hundreds of churches being blown up or burned and many, many dozens of Christian tribals have been slaughtered. For no other reason than they bear the name of Christ. Night and day I have been in touch with our Good News India Directors spread across 14 Dream Centers in Orissa... they are right in the middle of all this chaos. In Tihidi, just after the police came to offer protection, a group of 70 blood-thirsty militants came to kill our staff and destroy the home. They were not allowed to get in, but they did a lot of damage to our Dream Center by throwing rocks and bricks and smashing our gate, etc. They have promised to come back and 'finish the job'. Our kids and staff are locked inside and have stayed that way with doors and windows shut for the past 3 days. It has been a time of desperately calling on the Lord in prayer. More police have come to offer protection. In Kalahandi, the police and some local sympathizers got to our dream center and gave our staff and kids about 3 minutes notice to vacate. No one had time to even grab a change of clothes or any personal belonging. As they fled, the blood thirsty mob came into the building. We would have had a mass funeral there, but for His grace. In Phulbani, the mob came looking for Christian homes and missions. The local Hindu people, our neighbors turned them away by saying that there were no Christians in this area. So they left. We had favor. The same thing happened in Balasore. All our dream centers are under lock down with the kids and staff huddled inside and police outside. The fanatics are circling outside waiting for a
chance to kill. Others were not so fortunate. In a nearby Catholic orphanage, the mob allowed the kids to leave and locked up a Priest and a computer teacher in house and burned them to death. Many believers have been killed and hacked into pieces and left on the road.... even women and children. At another orphanage run by another organization, when this began, the Director and his wife jumped on their motorbike and simply fled, leaving all the children and staff behind. Every one of our GNI directors that I have spoken to said: 'We stay with our kids.... we live together or die together, but we will never abandon what God has called us to do' More than 5000 Christian families have had their homes burned or destroyed. They have fled into the jungles and are living in great fear waiting for the authorities to bring about peace. But so far, no peace is foreseen. This will continue for another 10 days....supposedly the 14 day mourning period for the slain Hindu priest. Many more Christians will die and their houses destroyed. Many more churches will be smashed down. The Federal government is trying to restore order and perhaps things will calm down We ask for your prayers. Only the Hand of God can calm this storm. None of us know the meaning of persecution. But now our kids and staff know what that means. So many of our kids com ing from Hindu backgrounds are confused and totally bewildered at what is happening around them. So many of their guardians have fled into the jungles and are unable to come and get them during these trying times. Through all this, I am more determined than ever to continue with our goal: the transformation of a community by transforming its children. Orissa will be saved... that is our heart's cry. If we can take these thousands of throw-away children and help them to become disciples of Jesus, they will transform an entire region. It is a long term goal, but it is strategic thinking in terms of the Great Commission. What can you do? First, please uphold all this in fervent prayer. Second, pass this e-mail on to as many friends as you can. We must get the word out and increase our prayer base for this is spiritual warfare at its most basic meaning. We are literally fighting the devil in order to live for His Kingdom. The next 10 days are crucial. We pray for peace and calm to pervade across Orissa. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please pass it on and help us to get as many people to partner with us on this cutting edge effort to fulfill His mandate: Go and make disciples of all nations.... Prayer works! Blessings, Chip & Sandy Wanner Col 2:2 MBI Team Facilitators to YWAM frontlines

PRAYER REQUEST NOV 22-29

PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAYR FOR THIS REQUEST

Hi Friends,

My sister and my niece need some prayer right now. My niece Izabella went into the hospital over the weekend with a high fever and diarrhea. The doctors took some blood cultures, spinal tap and x-ray and they found that she has fluid around her kidney and a UTI. Still waiting for more results with the blood culture and spinal tap. They will be putting a pick (not sure how to spell it) but this will help the Dr.'s get blood more often instead of continuous poking for a vein. This pick will have to be put in with surgery. Izabella will not be leaving the hospital for at least 7-10 days and will need to be transported to a Children's Hospital. Please keep my sister Ashley in prayer since she is 21 and her first baby- you can understand the stress, anxiety and fear that would take place. Please pray that she would have the Lord's peace. As for Izabella, please pray for quick recovery and to go home soon. Also pray that my sister would have more discernment with who she let's the baby be held by (sick neighbors). I guess my protective auntie-ness is coming out!

With Love,

Vanessa

JUST SAYING HI

HI TO ALL OF YOU.... I HAVE NO VOICE I LOST IT IN MEXICO ON SATURDAY,,,SO I GUESS MY FINGERS THINK THEY CAN NOT TALK EITHER :) NOT REALLY I JUST HAVE NOT HAD ALOT TO SAY LATELY. NOT HAVING A VOICE MAKES IT HARD TO TEACH, BUT I AM GETTING BY. THEY ONLY REAL PROBLEM IS MY EAR IS PLUGGED UP AS WELL SO MY SINCE OF TONE IS OFF. I HAVE NOT FELT WELL LATELY SINCE WEDNESDAY REALLY SOME KIND OF FLU OR SOMETHING AND SPENDING ALL DAY IN MEXICO SATURDAY DID NOT HELP MATTERS ANY. WHEN NOT WORKING I HAVE MOSTLY BEEN SLEEPING TRYING TO FIGHT THIS THING.

ANYWAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL CHIP AND I ARE GOING TO BED.

Back From Mexico

WE HAD A GREAT TRIP TO THE ORPHANAGE YESTERDAY. IT WAS GREAT TO SEE THE KIDS AND TO GET AWAY FROM EVERYTHING HERE IN CALIFORNIA. AWAY FROM PEOPLE PROTESTING OVER PROP 8, HERE THEY PROTEST. AND WE HAVE EVERYTHING I GO TO MEXICO AND THEY ARE HAPPY EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NOTHING. ON OUR WAY BACK WE SAW SOME PROTESTERS AND IT MADE ME SO MAD. IF THEY SAW WHAT I JUST SAW MAYBE THEY WOULD ACT DIFFERENTLY. THESE PRECIOUS PRECIOUS KIDS DOWN THERE WERE DRYING THEIR HAIR WITH PAPER TOWELS. BECAUSE THEY NEED A SIMPLE BATH TOWEL DOWN THERE. AND PEOPLE UP HERE PROTEST BECAUSE THEY CAN'T LIVE IN SIN.

WELL ANYWAY AS ALWAYS THE KIDS WERE GREAT. RUNNING UP TO HUG US.. YOU KNOW YES WE BRING SOME THINGS BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT THEY LOOK FOR THEY JUST LOOK TO HAVE US HUG THEM AND SPEND TIME WITH THEM. THE TEEN GIRLS LIKE TO TALK ABOUT BOYS THE BOYS LIKE TO TALK ABOUT GIRLS THE LITTLE ONES JUST WANT US TO PLAY A GAME OF UNO OR COLOR WITH THEM, THEY JUST WANT TO SIT IN YOUR LAP. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SPEAK SPANISH TO GIVE A HUG OR A SMILE OR SIT AND C0LOR WITH THEM I SPEAK SOME BUT NOT ALOT OF SPANISH AND HAVE NOT PROBLEM.

WELL I WILL WRITE MORE LATER , WE WERE IN THE WIND YESTERDAY AND NOW I AM SICK SO I AM GOING TO BED.

IS OBAMA THE ANTICHRIST

I HAVE HEARD SO MUCH LATELY ABOUT THE END TIMES. AND THIS PERSON THINKS THIS AND THE OTHER PERSON BELIEVES SOMETHING ELSE. IT CAN BE VERY CONFUSING THAT IS FOR SURE. I DON'T KNOW IF HE IS OR ISN'T . ALL I KNOW IS THAT I DON'T TRUST HIM. TO ME HE CAME UP OUT OF NOWHERE. HE IS ACCEPTED BY THE WORLD NOT JUST THE USA. SOME GIVE MESSIAH LIKE ATTRIBUTES TO HIM...... OK IM NOT SAYING HE IS I AM JUST ASKING QUESTIONS. THOSE OF YOU THAT KNOW ME KNOW THAT IS HOW I LEARN THINGS.

ALSO IM AM SO SICK OF THIS PROP 8 PROTEST GOING ON. IM TIRED OF THE MEANNESS OF THESE PEOPLE. THEY WANT THEIR RIGHTS WHAT ABOUT OUR RIGHTS. WHAT ABOUT A PASTORS RIGHT TO NOT MARRY GAY COUPLES. UNDER WHAT THEY WANT IF A PASTOR REFUSES TO MARRY A GAY COUPLE HE COULD GO TO JAIL IS THAT FAIR. WHAT ABOUT FREEDOM OF RELIGON.

OBAMA MOCKS THE BIBLE

Back to Mexico

This Saturday I will be going back to the Orphanage in Mexico I am so EXCITED to be going back, Yesterday we put up the giving tree for them, we are buying them their tennis shoes for there PE class. Pray for us as we travel down there Saturday.

EMAIL WRITEN DAY BEFORE ELECTION BY PASTOR IN GEORGIA

Dear Friends,

For months now my email Inbox has been besieged by nearly hysterical warnings about what will happen if Barack Obama becomes President. I have been encouraged to be worried, afraid, concerned, prepared for disaster, and a whole host of other maladies if this happens. I do not deny the importance of this election, but it seems to me that we need a dose of perspective. So here, on the eve of the election, I would like to start my own email concerning this election. It’s a “True/False” test. I’d like for all of us to take it. Feel free to email it on to whomever:

True/False: The day after the election, regardless of who wins, Jesus will still be King.
True/False: The day after the election, regardless of who wins, our responsibilities as Christians will not have changed one iota.
True/False: The day after the election, regardless of who wins, the greatest agent for social change in America will still be winning the hearts and minds of men and women through the gospel, not legislation.
True/False: The day after the election, regardless of who wins, my primary citizenship will still be in this order – (1) the Kingdom of God, (2) America, not vice-versa.
True/False: The day after the election, regardless of who wins, the tomb will still be empty.
True/False: The day after the election, regardless of who wins, the cross, not the government, will still be our salvation.
True/False: The day after the election, regardless of who wins, our children will still be more concerned with whether or not we spend time with them than with who is President.

True/False: The day after the election, regardless of who wins, my neighbor will still be my neighbor, and loving him/her will still be the second greatest commandment. (Do you know the first?)
True/False: The day after the election, regardless of who wins, the only way to see abortion ultimately overturned will still be winning men and women to a high view of life through the gospel of Christ.

True/False: The day after the election, regardless of who wins, the only way to see gay marriage ultimately defeated will still be winning men and women to a biblical view of marriage through the gospel of Jesus Christ.

True/False: The day after the election, regardless of who wins, my retirement will still not match my treasure in Heaven.

True/False: The day after the election, regardless of who wins, “Jesus Is Lord” will still be the greatest truth in the Universe.
True/False: The day after the election, regardless of who wins, we will still know that God is in control.

How did you score?

So be sure to vote, but also remember who you are and who He is.

----THE BIBLE AND GOD

As always if you have anymore let me know.

Pray For the Mormon Church

NO, NOT BECAUSE OF THEIR DOCTRINE THIS TIME,,,, I HAVE SOME STUDENTS THAT ARE MORMON AND THE PARENTS TOLD ME THAT THERE CHURCH OR WARD IS GETTING SOME HATE MAIL AND THREATS BECAUSE THEY WERE THE BIGGEST CONTRIBUTORS TO PROP 8 THEY PUT MORE MONEY INTO IT THAN ANYONE. SO NOW THEY ARE TARGETS OF PEOPLE WHO WANT GAY MARRIAGE. AND AS I AM SURE SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE SEEN ON THE NEWS THE RALLYS AND PROTEST THAT WERE OUTSIDE THE MORMON TEMPLE HERE IN LA. I PRAY THAT GOD KEEPS THEM SAFE AND NO HARM COMES TO THEM OR THEIR CHURCHES.

PRAY FOR OUR COUNTRY

NOW THAT THE ELECTION IS OVER WE ARE TOLD TO PRAY FOR OUR LEADERS. OBAMA WAS NOT MY CHOICE BUT , I AM STILL TOLD TO PRAY FOR HIM. AND THAT IS WHAT I WILL DO.

I AM HAPPY HOWEVER THAT CALIFONIA VOTED TO KEEP MARRIAGE BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN. THANK GOD FOR THAT. EVEN THOUGH NOW SOME WANT TO CHALLENGE THE VOTE.

I PERSONALLY THINK THIS COUNTRY FACES A LOT OF CHALLENGES AHEAD. AND THERE WILL BE PLENTY TO KEEP US ON OUR KNEES.

THAT IS ALL I AM GOING TO SAY ON THE ELECTION.

PRAY YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY. LOVE YOU ALL
