1 Month Update, Kona Hawaii
Hello Friends and Family,
It has been almost exactly one month since I have arrived here in Kona, Hawaii! It’s been an indescribable time. I think of home, University of Maryland fellowship, the prayer furnace, my marvelous comrades and reminisce on the comfort and warmth of home. I have been praying for you and am so excited for the DMV Prayer Summit starting this Thursday! I will be praying for you as you lead the DMV into crying out for revival!
Freedom Week
This week’s Freedom week taught by Matthew Nelson lead me into new revelations of some strongholds I have in my life. It was a little harder for me to push through this week but God was faithful and pulled me through! When I heard about “Freedom week” I thought it was just the same as purity/inner healing but it was totally different.
One revelation I received through the teaching was that the opposite of faith is passivity. Being passive in relationships, with commitments, to appointments and even in our relationship with God is a form of rebellion. People who have some passivity in their life say “That is just my personality. I can’t change it.” But it’s still a form of saying “I don’t care enough about you to value your time and schedule.” We need to be active, not passive and actively pursue back our pursuer.
We as students awkwardly fumbled our way through this week trying to be something we naturally are not. For some of us, we fought the spirit of rejection by actively initiating conversations with others first and walking boldly as a son or daughter who is completely accepted by Christ. For others of us, we fought off the spirit of fear by walking in boldness and courage continually through out the day.
24 Hour Burn
This past Friday our whole campus participated in the 24 Hour Burn that was pioneered by our Fire & Fragrance School. For 24 hour burns, students prayed for revival of hearts and nations. One friend of mine stayed 24 hours in the prayer room, praying and fasting and had angelic encounters. It was a powerful time.
I had the awesome opportunity of leading the school into worship for a set. Below is a picture of some of our awesome band members, the “Kibok Band.”

Prayer Requests:
(1) There’s no place like home. I’ve been missing my family and dog Bok Shi Ree a little more this month. Please pray that I will take full advantage of my time here and be wise in the way that I spend my time. Please pray for an increased hunger for the Word and to spend time with Jesus.
(2) Fundraising. I will be doing some fundraising here on campus. Please pray that God’s hand would be on all fundraisers that I do and that He would bless it by a 100fold! =P
