International House of Prayer KC

We continue to stay steady with our assignment her in Kansas City with the International House of Prayer. Much of our work is in ministering to the young men and women here at the university (IHOPU) as Dean of Men (Katie being on Dean of Women's Team) and within the mission base as a whole. Much of our time during the week is in giving "pastoral care" and speaking into the lives of these young people in this critical time of their journey.

What a challenging hour we live in as our Faith is pressing us more and more into the righteousness that is from God. Reaching for the shiftless foundation in Christ for ourselves and the young men and women we minister to is deeply in the heart of what we are doing. The culture of our society is going hard away from any standard that has been set by our heavenly Father. This is the current our young people are swimming against.

Our promises and hope are intimately connected to our faith in our Father in heaven and in Christ Jesus His Son. (Gal 5:5). The Holy Spirit is moving in the hearts of His son's in these days as we are growing in unity within the church. We have much to do as we disciple young believers in their reach for this righteousness that comes through faith.

Join with Katie and I as we minister to and pray for these young men and women who are becoming a voice to the nations for the gospel of Christ Jesus. Many are setting their gaze on the beauty of Jesus as His return approaches. This is an hour to lean hard into the realities of God's end time narrative. Growing in faith in the knowledge of God will set us in this righteous story line. (2 Tim 2:22) says; Flee youthful lusts; pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord with a pure heart. God is raising this standard of justice in the earth today. Our agreement is with His purpose and His will as we see the "day of the Lord" at hand.

These are some of the beloved youth God has raised up for this hour. We know there is an intense future for these and many more that have been captured by the beauty of Jesus!

I (Craig) am still giving leadership to the Campus Management team at the university also. This is a service to the mission base as our team keeps up with most of the operations of the campus that is taking on more and more of the messaging of the mission base. IHOPU has become an active voice of much of the message of the ministry here. We are now a premier "global classroom" that is reaching the four corners of the earth with the message we carry of Intimacy, the Forerunner spirit, End Times, the Convergence of Prayer and Missions, and much more.

Continue to pray with us that we carry our assignment well in these challenging times. The more we hold the line and boldly proclaim the sovereignty of our God to the nations in a compromising hour, the more challenging it becomes to stay steady!

Katie and I love and bless all who stand with us in this hour. We are so honored and blessed to have your support and strength in so many ways. Please send us a note from time to time if you have questions or would like to talk with us as we press into the life of Christ Jesus together!

Much Love and Peace!
