BIG Kingdom Projects
I am so very honored to get to participate in some BIG Kingdom projects in the Phoenix area and beyond! I want to include YOU, Dearest Beloved to join me on these exciting endeavors!
Stay the Path
My local church is participating together as a #Sisterhood as we journey together through Pastor Bobbie Houston's newest book, Stay the Path: Navigating the Challenges and Wonders of Life, Love and Leadership. If you're in the Phoenix area, I encourage you to join us on Thursday mornings at each campus. (More information can be found here). If you're not able to join us live, each campus will be hosting an online study via our Facebook Group page.
Unshakeable
Christine Caine is releasing her new book, a 365 day Devotional, Unshakable 365 Devotions for Finding Unwavering Strength in God’s Word on October 24, 2017! Praying this is a spirit-strengthening resource that will bless the masses and circulate the earth for decades to come!
First 1,000 people to pre-order are eligible to receive a beautiful hand-lettered print of Hebrews 12:27, (2) exclusive cell phone wallpapers, & a bonus gift for additional resources.
A21 Walk for Freedom
On October 14th, 2017 A21 will be facilitating the 4th annual Walk for Freedom in 600 cities, in 50 countries and in all 50 states in the US. This silent, single-file 3 mile walk doesn't just create awareness...it creates real, lasting CHANGE! This will be my 3rd year participating and I'd like to personally invite YOU now to join in 3 powerful ways:
1. Join Us
If you're in AZ, please register and walk with us: Team "Unstoppable AZ". If you're outside PHX, please register for the walk nearest you!
2. Invite Others
Team "Unstoppable AZ" has a goal to have 100 people join our team. Although that may seem like an audacious goal, it's simple. If 20 people commit to inviting 5 others to join, we'll meet or exceed our goal! Who will you extend an invite to participate in a life-changing experience?
3. Fundraise
Unstoppable AZ is committed to raising funds to fuel the effort to save more people from human slavery AND bring justice to the enslavers. We are believing for $2,000 raised among our team! That's a small amount if you think about it! Here's a breakdown of some very do-able solutions:
20 people raise $100 each
100 people raise $20 each
50 people raise $40 each
How can this be done? Simple: Ask.
And even when you ask, you don't get it because your motives are all wrong--you want only what will give you pleasure. - James 4:3
I believe deep in the spirit of every human, there is a desire to play a part in a cause greater than ourselves. Raising funds for this cause is A cure to a very real human crisis and we must respond to the solution. I encourage you to carve out some time to browse A21.org to see for yourself the cause and the effect this crisis has AND (more importantly) what is ACTUALLY being done about it. Read the stories of freedom, track the numbers of success.
Hillsong Phoenix | Glendale Campus
I have been serving in my local church for over 2 years now and it's been the greatest blessing in my life! I've had the honor of serving in multiple capacities from day-to-day ministry, serving at big events, leading Connect Groups, etc. I wrote quite a bit about my experience in Welcome HOME! The friendships I've made, the personal growth I've experienced, the leadership I serve under and the servant leaders I get to do life with are truly remarkable! I'm thrilled that we are "One House with Many Rooms" and our home is expanding to the NW Valley/Glendale area!
As I write this, I am reflecting on the blessings and redirections in my life within the past couple years. So much has happened, SO many stories I could share. But here's one many do not know. In December 2016, after much prayer and fasting I took a HUGE leap of faith and went through a very long and detailed application process to enroll for a 3-year program in a well-known ministry school in northern California. I was rejected. Yes, REJECTED! As soon as I read that rejection email I just KNEW it was God. I heard Him speak to my spirit: "Heather, it was an excercise of faith. I pulled on you to apply, you did. But I need you to trust me with your path. I have other plans for you. Stay put and work joyfully where I've placed you." It's hard to imagine being anywhere else, doing anything else with anyone else. I'm joyfully working with what I've been given and am praying with eager anticipation for what my eyes will witness as we open more doors to welcome people HOME!
If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won't be honest with greater responsibilities. -Luke 16:10 NLT
