[The WAKE UP Call]

Hey guys!

Sunday night, Nov. 1, we are privileged and blessed to have the presence of friends and family from both Kansas City and Tulsa! The studly Mr. Scott Goodner will be here along with a few more fiery world-changers to celebrate the goodness of God in our lives with us.

If you haven’t been able to make it to a Sunday night gathering in awhile, THIS IS THE ONE YOU WILL DEFINITELY WANT TO MAKE! If you are traveling from out of town, save up your gas money NOW (for 3 whole days)! Your face is missed! That message is for EVERYONE!

God is doing mighty works in each individual season of our lives, and as part of one Body we can strengthen and encourage one another with our stories.

Sunday, November 1st:

6pm – Dinner (Swick’s Pizza) served

7pm – Powerful message from Scott

-Worship/prayer throughout

We simply want to express our love for one another as a result of God’s unrelenting love for us. The word of our testimony is conquering and triumphant, no matter who is speaking.

Our doors are wide open. Period. Blessings and strength to all of you; and we hope to see you this Sunday.

On April 1, 2009 Jamie Tworkowski, Zach Williams, & To Write Love On Her Arms came to OSU to give a lecture and give awareness to addiction, cutting, and suicide. TWLOHA is so music oriented that they always have some source of music when they speak. Zack Williams is a great man of God that has an amazing story of trial and tribulations. He first began writing music when his wife was in a horrible accident and he could do nothing but pray. He started to write music instead of taking frustaions out on God. Before and after the show I got to visit with both Zach and Jamie, they both live in this idea of a community. I got to share a little bit about the Jesus House and what we are about!  They loved the idea of 20+ College guys living together and loving Jesus while they are doing it. Zach told me that when he was in college, he did the same thing with the same mindset. Loving Jesus was the most important thing to them! Praise God!!!

Its official, the summer has started here at the Jesus House! Clean up is under way. We have been hard at work for the past couple of weeks cleaning and getting ready for the next few months. We have shut down the 2nd floor and moved everyone to the first floor. This is just for the summer though! We plan on getting a lot of things done around the House in the next few months. We are in the talks of having a work day for the house sometime in July. So keep your eyes and ears open!
~Much Love

[House Party '09]: Details

 

We’re “Burnin’ Down the House”

Saturday April 18 at 6:00 pm, there will be a DANCE PARTY at a location to be determined soon. For now, meet up at the Jesus House. The evening will consist initially of hot dogs, games, tag, hide-and-seek, fellowship, and then A WHOLE LOT OF DANCING! Come prepared in your best dancing attire and show off your moves! ALL AND ANY are welcome to attend and HIGHLY ENCOURAGED!

There will be food provided, but if you could, girls bring desserts and guys bring drinks and finger foods. Do not feel obligated to bring anything, but every little bit would help (even a financial donation).

As mentioned before, the final event will be on Sunday April 19 at 8:00 pm at the Jesus House. If you can make it to only one event this weekend, this is the one you won’t want to miss. We will gather as one body (all the former generations and current ones) to share the vast range of stories written throughout this past year. If you happen to still have the piece of the rock that we broke together one year ago, BRING IT BACK! We have a special activity planned for the re-uniting of the pieces of the rock! If you don’t have a piece to bring or you weren’t at the rock-breaking event last year, come anyway and get a piece of the rock that is still here at the house.

Additionally, there will be a special heart-felt performance by a special someone. Trust me, you WILL NOT WANT TO MISS THIS ONE! =)

House Updates Comimg Soon…

[Friday, November 2nd 2007]

I am stuck by the words from an old song you guys might remember:  “Life is a highway, I want to ride it all night long…” 

It has definately been a journey this semester and it continues to be a beautiful narrative that the Lord is unfolding!  It is messy! It is not perfect all the time!  But we can’t help but to think of the endless beauty of what is doing right here in our midst!!  There is so much to be thankful for!  So many lives that are being sharpened! So much learning.  It says in scripture, that “he trains our hands for war, and our fingertips for battle!”  Wow.  It is so true.  We are humbled that he calls our house a house of worship and prayer!  People are being blessed coming in and going out!  Right now our focus is really trying to figure out how to live the good news!  He is all our hope and our strength!  We continue to strive towards knowing Him and making Him known; inviting people into Jesus, not into a religion, not into legalism!  We are out to change the world, and we feel like God is cultiating the soil this semester, doing a lot of individual work in our lives, preparing us for a release of his presence and His Kingdom. 

A couple of updates.  The community of Stillwater, Oklahoma has elected to move the 24-7 prayer room to the corner room of the house, which looks over the entire campus!  This is an exciting time, and even as I speak we are in a place of contending together believing for a move of God in our city, on our campus!  We are contending and praying for holiness and purity in coordination with Light the Highway.  We are believing for Him to come like he has never come before!!  I will enclose some pictures from a couple of gatherings we have had an oppurtunity to open up our house below, as well as some pictures from the prayer room!

Please contine to be in prayer for our house in the following ways: 1] We are asking the Lord for unity and one accord 2] we are asking for the bond of peace 3] we are asking for a way to transfer dicipleship in practical ways 4] please also pray for the raising up of passion ignited, God-loving warriors for the Lord.  Guys who will not be mediocre, who won’t settle!  We appreciate all your encouragement, your love, your support [both financially and through prayers!]  We could not do it without you guys!  May the Lord shine his face upon you!

[Thursday August 30th, 2007]

Wow it has been a ride so far!  School life is now in full gear and all the guys are moved in to the house!  It has been an exciting and exhausting ride so far.  The house for sure is not finished, but we are constantly reminded by the Lord that just as our lives are a work in progress, so is the house…so is the community…so is our salvation.  We are working it out.  We are diving in deep to who we are as friends of Jesus!  So we continue to press on, overlooking much of the unfinished floors and unfinished painting, and remember that hey it is okay to breathe, take a look around and remember how good God is- He has gotten us this far, and he will take us the rest of the way..  It is a journey and for us run ahead and complete it early would just devastate the things he is making beautiful in their own time. 

We are continuously amazed at the love and support of the community.  So many of you guys have taken this vision from the Lord and ran with it, and let it delight your soul.  Praise God from whom blessings flow.  We are very thankful to all of you who are praying for us, the guys, the house, the prayer room. - to all who continue to feed our bellies!  We have had some great food from all over the place!  May God open up the floodgates of Heaven over you and make his spirit fresh upon you!

 We have also had a first open house this past friday night and it was a success!  More than 75 people passed through the house!  As a brotherhood we got more of an oppurtunity to hang out with one another and get to know each other a little more, and then a lot of the community, family, and friends also got another change to see what God has been up to! 

As far as testimonies- keep checking back, we are working on getting some posted!  All in due time!  GOD HAS BEEN SO FAITHFUL!

Meanwhile here are a couple of pictures to see a little bit of the transition process of the main room of the house!  We love you guys!  Burn on.
