Every Home for Christ... WOW!

I just realized, the babies are sleeping.. QUICK! POST SOMETHING! :]

I feel as though most of my blog posts in the near future will simply be "updates" because our life is in some CRAZY transitions right now.

This week we started our two week orientation to jump on staff at theWall prayer room with Every Home for Christ ((in Colorado Springs)). Let me tell you, this has been such an eye opener to what an HONOR it is to be working for Every Home for Christ. I will explain what this ministry does, but it will not do it justice, so make sure to check out this video first!!!

This is just ONE EXAMPLE of what's happening in over 100 countries that EHC is ministering in! 



Every Home for Christ exists to serve the Body of Christ in equipping and mobilizing believers everywhere to actively participate in taking the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every home in the whole world, adding new believers as reproducing members of the Church to see the literal fulfillment of the Great Commission.


WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE?? ((here is an over-simplified outline))
1. An indigenous EHC worker goes to local church to preach & vision cast about fulfilling the Great Commission
2. The EHC indigenous team map out the entire nation, home to home
3. He will partner with the local church to reach every home with the Gospel in their area
4. Upon receiving the gospel, the new believer will be plugged in to this local church
5. New believer will be discipled & trained up


but katie, what if there is no local church? what about the unreached people groups?
THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART!!


1. An indigenous EHC worker discovers an unreached area, gathers a group of people, & goes to every home
2. EHC workers will start something called a "Christ Group" which really is just a church
3. New believer will get plugged in to a Christ Group to be discipled & trained up
And the whole thing just SPREADS like wild fire! It's incredible... Here are a few of the statistics of what they have done in just the last 5 years!!! ((not to mention the last 65 years!))

2006	40,816,954	83,104,249	5,237,666
2007	60,933,172	145,168,128	8,495,101
2008	69,412,525	129,097,430	10,239,761
2009	66,574,603	141,289,138	12,579,523
2010	77,349,522	151,322,613	13,904,165
Total	315,086,776	649,981,558	50,456,216

THIS IS AMAZING TO ME!!!

We are just now getting a glimpse of how fruitful EHC truly is... to be honest, I can't think of another ministry or missions organization that is bearing this much fruit. PRAISE GOD!!

anyways... I'll leave it with that today, I really hope you'll check out their website to learn more about what EHC is doing in the nations of the earth! Next time, I'll explain what exactly Josh & I will be doing in regards to partnering with Every Home for Christ.

fathers day

Today was a wonderful day to celebrate what an incredible dad Joshua James is. I took some of my morning to just think about who he is & how awesome he is with our little girls. I realize how blessed I really am to have a husband who loves me & our babes SO WELL! 

We also had a fun skype date with my dad & then went over to Josh's parents house for a bbq! 

At the bbq we took some pictures of the girls with their cousins, Gracie, Lily & Christian... it's always hard to get a good picture of a bunch of kids under the age of 10 to take ONE GOOD PICTURE... but we definitely got a few treasures out of the bunch :]

then we took the opportunity to get some family shots... enjoy!!

Almost 2 Months?!

I decided to make a little visit to my blog today & was shocked to see that I haven't blogged in nearly two months... I mean, I knew it had been a while, but had no idea I'd skipped out on writing for that long... I really want to be better about writing in here. 

today I'll give an update.... of the last 2 months...

Josh & I spent a month away, we were mostly in Minneapolis, visiting family & friends, but we also took our HONEYMOON!! Josh took me away for 5 days to Cancun! We stayed at an all-inclusive resort & it truly was an experience of a life time! It was such a precious time for us to recoup & just BE (together of course). We left the ladies home with my parents, and they did awesome! They had grown up so much by the time we came home, we almost didn't recognize them!

This is a picture of the ladies that my mom sent my while we were in Cancun...

they look SO big!!!

some honeymoon pics...

can I just say that Josh is the most romantic man EVER?! He made me this little box ((wedding picture surrounded with the Song of Solomon hand written, and 4 little jars with rolled up notes for EACH day of our trip! One of which was Mothers Day!))

yes.. this is where we spent our days :]

LOVE the beach

   

After our honeymoon, we spent a few more weeks with friends & family in Minneapolis. I looooove going back mostly because of my friends & family but also because I just LOVE Minneapolis in general. The Lord is doing something SO unique in the Twin Cities. I'm sad to not be apart of it but I am even more excited to be apart of what He is doing HERE ((in Colorado Springs)) simply because we are called here. Going home is such a huge reminder to me why I am living here now. Which seems pretty ironic, you'd think that going home would make me miss it, but rather it makes me appreciate it, hope to go back one day, but also to understand why the Lord has us in Colorado. It doesn't make sense in the natural... but, more on that another day :]


Now, we're back in Colorado, settled and getting ready to do orientation at theWall ((the house of prayer we're apart of)) we are SO excited!


This post is getting way too long now... Promise to write again soon!
