Blog Entry: hey frenz and family, it's darren...d(heavenbound), and this is the ministry profile..this is what the Lord's been doing in my life since we last spoke... well, i figured no better time than the present to begin updating everyone with the step-by-step progress that the ministry is making... Saturday July 5th, 2008... i need you to check through your church, your local ministries(or even your own personal ministries), and pray and see what is needed...if any of you are aware or know of a local situation in your area that is needing assistance in some way, please obtain the necessary information and email me with it as soon as you're able to... i have ideas of where i'd like to begin, but i really want the Lord to lead me to where i'm needed to begin with..and as i hit certain areas that are close to any of you, then we'll begin to make plans to spend time together and fellowship... i would love to spend as much time with all of you as possible, and attend services with you at your home church..even if there was an opportunity to speak(check into it and let me know if you're aware of that possibility..this would primarily be a chance to share my testimony and speak about the mission)..but, my main focus has to be on ministering to the people in yer areas that are most in need of Him... i am completely relying on Him..and have already committed to the fact that this is not about me, or about how it will benefit me..only how it may bless others, how it will bless and glorify and bring honor to Him and build His kingdom, and be a blessing to myself in the process, i suppose..but that will only come through being in service to those i come in conatct with... i am absolutely fine with meals at the local missions, as well as lodging there..this is not going to be nor is it supposed to be a high-end mission by any means..this is me getting on the streets, and into the communities where He is needed the most by those who are considered by many to be the least.. this is about me humbling myself to take His message to the ones who are in the most need..and i'm sure i will find myself in some very humbling (and possibly dangerous)situations, but then again, that's what i'm planning on... the seed gifts that come into this ministry are not going to be spent on luxuries or accomodations..only travel expenses from one location to another..however God chooses to bless me through any of this is totally in His hands and His plans... CCM is not about me, but about Him...not what i am, but what He's already done and continues to do through me...Lord, please continue to use me as a vessel.. in the meantime, stay strong..submit yourselves daily to His word and His will in your lives stand strong in Him, and share Him with whoever you can..know that He is God, and that Jesus Christ is Lord!!! God bless each of you today...and every day thank you so much for your prayers and support... yer brother in Jesus Christ alone, d Matthew 6: 19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. i am a man who has left it all behind to follow my Lord... i am a man who longs to see people saved... i am a man who longs to see people delivered... i am one who cries over his friends' concerns, needs, lives... i am a man who wants to climb these mountaintops and proclaim the name of the Lord at the top of my lungs... i am one who wants to share what He has done for me and through me... i am one who will rest in His hands, and follow His lead... i am one who will encourage a new-found brother in his walk... i am a man who will pray in the parks, crying out to God to forgive us for turning our backs on Him..and asking Him to forgive me for not doing this before now... i am thankful for His grace.. i am one who needs to be on my knees in prayers daily and ask Him to use me as the vessel... i am a man who will spend each remaining day sharing Him, serving Him, loving Him... i am a Jesus follower who would not have it any other way... i am one saved only by His grace... nothing that i do is of my own strength..i need Him every minute of every day... i want the world to know their Saviour..i want them to know Jesus Christ... i am one who is so blessed to have the opportunity to do as He's asked.. i am His... may our Lord Jesus Christ strengthen, protect, and guide each of you daily "..believing is not about seeing and faith is not about reaching, and on this journey, i keep learning flying is not about wings.." "Not About Wings" Downhere................................................................................................................................. i've had a major burden on my heart since 2007 to witness and minister to as many people as the Lord will send my direction, or vice-versa.. in late june of 2008, the Lord laid on my heart what He wanted me to do with my ministry..what you are witness to right now is the very early stages of what is to be a cross-country missions trip to several cities and towns across the U.S. i've completely laid myself open to wherever He leads, and whatever doors He opens, i'll go through...doors and offers have already begun opening up across the country.. the venture began in my hometown of Olympia, WA..and from there i boarded a greyhound bus and headed out to follow Him, going wherever He leads..the road is completely open, and there is no timeline to this mission, other than His... what i would ask of any of you is prayer for this mission..that the Lord will continue to open the doors for ministering opportunities, and to give me the strength and confidence(that only He can provide) to share Him with as many as will listen.. i'll be using this profile to update y'all as much as possible with where i'm at, where i'm heading.. my primary mission is witnessing and sharing Him with people..my secondary mission is meeting and fellowshipping with as many of you as possible, whatever's in His will is what i'm praying for.. my testimony is another testament to the Lord's amazing grace and neverending mercy and love for those that He calls His.. God bless each of you as you continue to seek and serve Him in your daily lives.. anyone who God gives me the opportunity to share His message of salvation, truth and love with... He's already given me some amazing witnessing opportunities over the past year, and i pray daily that he continues to do just that.. looking forward to spending time in fellowship with my myspace Christian brothers and sisters when i make it to your area..
