RIHOP Happenings
Omega
In the spring, I helped Shawn Jarrard, our prayer room director, to facilitate an Omega Course at RIHOP. The course is an 8 session DVD teaching on the end times, by Mike Bickle, the director of the International House of Prayer in Kansas City, MO. The study of the end times is so important to the Lord , that there are over 100 chapters on this topic in the Bible! Many people are nervous and even skeptical about the study of the end times. This course gives Biblical truths to confront our fears and to reveal the truth about what the Bible says about the tribulation, the millennial reign of Jesus Christ and what role we are to play as followers of Christ. It makes my heart come alive as we study this reality. It was also exciting to see the hearts of others come alive as we spent an hour discussing the teaching, the scriptures, and asking questions, following the video.
Immersed Internship
It is with great anticipation and a bit of nervousness, that I will be jumping in to help with the summer internship at RIHOP next month. I will be joining the internship for the second half of the month, as a teacher. I will be teaching on the Song of Solomon as well as on cultivating the oil of intimacy, as taught in the parable of the ten virgins in Matthew 25. Immersed is a 30-day intensive focused on raising up messengers who will be a voice in their community as they devote themselves to a lifestyle of prayer and fasting. It is going to be an exciting time of setting ourselves apart for the Lord and praying for the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him!

Family Life
Mia and I continue to live with my parents, and my brother (when he is not traveling for work). I cannot begin to describe what a pleasure and a blessing it is to live with my family. I moved out when I was 19, so it was a bit of an adjustment when we first moved in. After the initial adjustment, it has been a wonderful experience. My parents are so generous, kind, and loving. They are so supportive of me and so good to both of us. Having Bryan here is amazing, too. I am enjoying spending time with him, and Mia, well, she adores him. I feel so loved, and it is a wonderful feeling.
Mia just finished taking her first grade standardized test, and we are eagerly awaiting her scores. She is such a smart girl, and I know she did great. We will be taking off the month of July from home school, but we will begin again the first week of August.
Mia also just finished a 5 day summer camp with the group, Christian Youth Theater. Mia did dancing, singing, drama, art and even some playing in the water. On Friday, the kids put on a performance for family and friends. Mia did a great job. I am praying for the funds to be able to sign her up for classes in the fall. I know she will love the classes and making new friends.
Vacation
On June 28, Mia and I will hop in the car and begin the 18.5 hour trip to Kansas City, MO. We will spend 2 nights with my best friend (Mia's aunt) ,Deanna ,and her family, in Belleville, IL and then head to Kansas City on June 30. We will be staying with our precious friends, the Skeeles, until July 12. While we are there, we will spend time with our many friends, go to the prayer room at IHOP, and Mia will attend the Signs and Wonders Camp. On the way home, we will stay with Deanna a couple of days and plan to be back in Richmond on July 15.

Please pray for us! Prayer is powerful, and it works. Please pray for us as a family, for home school, for financial provision, and for growth in our relationship with the Lord. Please pray for me, as I step out to teach interns at RIHOP next month. Please pray that God will move in the hearts of the interns. Please pray that the Lord will make a way for me to be fully devoted to Mia in home school and to RIHOP as part-time staff. Currently, my financial situation has me working part time in addition to these two things. I truly desire to give myself fully to teaching Mia and to ministering to the Lord and His people as an urban prayer missionary, right here in Richmond.
