Dear Friends

Indescribable!  That’s the word I would use for The Heart of Texas Boot Camp this past weekend.  God’s anointing seemed to be thick upon the boot camp.  There was battle, revelation, breakthrough, healing, restoration and much more for many of the men who were there.  We will never know the full impact of the boot camp but here are a few stories, so far:

One man came up to me with tears in his eyes confessing how he had failed his wife through an affair, and how Jesus was meeting him and restoring him through this boot camp.  He was incredibly grateful, and determined to be the husband God intended him to be.  Another man told me how God was revealing all the unfathered places in his life.  Many men told me that they were hearing God, some for the first time.  Others spoke of beginning a relationship with Jesus or coming back to him.

Jesus really did answer our prayers that these men would receive his good news, have their broken hearts healed, be released from captivity and be set free from what imprisoned them.

One man wrote:  “What a disastrous life I had led.  The decision I made to come to boot camp was met with opposition… The spiritual and healing that ensued is something that I cannot put into words…”

A man from Haven for Hope wrote:  “It helped me grow my intimate relationship w/ Jesus… One of the best experiences in my life for a vato loco [crazy guy] experiencing & loving Jesus.”

Another shared: “…I feel closer to God than I ever have.  My wounds have been recognized, and are now being healed.  This experience changed my life forever.  Thanks to this boot camp my eternal question has been answered…”

We know from experience, the boot camp did not end last Sunday.  We need to continue praying for the team against all retaliation for delivering this message and for these men against all assault to steal what God is continuing to do in their lives.

So, Jesus, we pray your protection over the team, the men who came to the boot camp, and all their families from every assault, struggle and temptation the enemy may attempt to deliver.  Send your mighty angels to guard these men and their families.

We praise you Jesus for the mighty work you have done in these men, and we ask that you keep these men in all that you began in them this weekend.  Draw every man deeper into conversational intimacy with you, bring them into a band of brothers, continue to heal and deliver them from all their struggles and wounds.  Make them into the man you fully intend them to be.  Remake them into your glorious image bearers.

Keep all of us alert and sober against the enemy and any assaults. Stay close to each man and keep their boot camp experience with you alive in their hearts.    We ask all of this in your most holy and powerful name.  Amen!

Friends, my thanks for your coming alongside us through prayer, pales in comparison to Jesus’ gratitude for your faithfulness with us.

Know that your prayers have impacted men in this moment and into all eternity.  I will continue these prayer updates a bit longer. So, please stay with us in these prayers.  Thanks!

For the advancement of His Kingdom,

George
