In the U.K. for the 2012 Olympics


I made it safely to England for the 2012 Olympic outreach. I am in Nuneaton England at the YWAM base The Kings Lodge. This is the base that Cindee was on staff at for a number of years and I got to come visit here several times. So its very cool to be back here and see the place again. It is also amazing how many of the people here remember who I am. Also it is also very fun to hear a lot of stories about Cindee and Chris. 

I will be here in the U.K for a little over 3 weeks. We will be doing outreach in the city of Coventry. I actually won't be going to London during the Olympics for outreach. Coventry is where a lot of the Soccer games are taking place. During the outreaches we will be working with the local churches in Coventry. Which I think is really good because its the local church that will be here long after we are gone, so I'm glad that we can partner with them. Im not quite sure what exactly sure what stuff we will be doing but I'm sure we will be busy. Tomorrow (Friday) will be our first day so I'm very exited to see what is in store for us. Also I had to friends come from Farmington come and join me here Rachel and Emily Adams. It was good to see them again and to have them here with me during the outreach.

I just have a prayer point. When I got here we had like a team building time and we where playing ultimate frisbee. While I was playing I hurt my left foot really bad, my guess to what happened is I  pulled the tendon on the top of my foot that attaches to the knuckle on my big toe. And o man does is hurt and its pretty difficult to walk. I know this make me sound kinda lame but I would sure appreciate your prayers.


Thank you very much Jayson

My Last Two Weeks In Germany

Hello, sense my last update I have been quite busy. We have continuing to do outreaches in the villages  in this regain, as well as continuing to do have our classes. During the outreaches we have had a couple of chances to go into a night club and do some evangelism in there and pray and I know the the spiritual atmosphere has indeed changed. We have also had a few chances to go back to the bar that I mentioned in my last update. In the next two weeks our plane is to do door to door evangelism in two of the villages. We have been going and preparing the way with lots of prayer, so now we believe that the spiritual atmosphere is now ready and we pray that the people will be open to hear the gospel  message.

The speaker we had two weeks ago she, well I don't know how to say it, but she works a lot in the prophetic. And she spoke something into my life that was very true and very timely! It encouraged me a lot and also challenged me a lot. Last week we did a course called the Kairos course. It included missions in the Bible Old and New Testaments, missions in world history, what is left in missions that we need to accomplish, mission strategy, and did some things preparing us for Cross-Cultural situations. It was a very busy week but it was very good! We I get home I look forward to reading my book over again at a slower pace to try and get even more out of it.

Just a brief look into the future.

I will be in Germany for 2 more weeks finishing up the school and doing a lot of evangelism. After the school is over I will be going to Holland for 3 days with the Dutch couple that is doing the school with me. After the three days in Holland I will be going to the UK to be working with YWAM during the Olympics. Two of my friends Rachel and Emily Adams from back home will be meeting me in England to work with me. During the three weeks we will be working with YWAM Kings Lodge which is the place that my sister Cindee was on staff at for a number of years. So I am very excited to get to go back there. The last time I was there was 8 years ago so it will be good to go back. I am not sure what exactly we will be doing. I am the kinda of person Ill do what ever kind of outreach there is. Im just excited to see how God will use us during those three weeks.

If you are wanting to pray for us doing the Olympics I would really appreciate it. You can pray for us strength, for traveling mercies, for the different outreaches will be doing. Thank you very much for your prayers.
