Park Life

God has an awesome plan for Glenwood Springs Colorado. His Heart is full and aching for the people in this town. Any manner of deception, distraction and heart condition exists here and in such a small place, so much darkness ready to be destroyed by a people who have the Glory of the Lord rising upon them!


We have began a bi-monthly outreach to the young people who hang out at the skate park. We take down a BBQ and hot dogs with tons of soda to give away and just start sharing the Kingdom. I’ve never experienced young people who are willing to chat so much, even though we have only just began we have a number of relationships forming and have had some exciting opportunities to share Jesus.

God has also been directing people to pray at the same location at Two Rivers Park, which seems to be a hub of life in Glenwood. We have started meeting on Friday’s to walk and pray through the park. So far God has been revealing some specific themes that are directing us how to pray for our valley.

It can be hard when you make a move somewhere new and you don’t know how long you will live there. But Emily and I are learning to invest our lives wherever we are sent because we know that wherever we are sent we are placed with purpose. We have began to meet more and more like minded people. people who have been called here for a time such as this. Its exciting to listen to people expressing the very things that God is also revealing us personally. We both love it here and love what God is doing here. Life is good Thanks for reading Love Jonny & Emily

Our move

The Roaring Fork Valley
This fall at The Call in San Diego the Lord released our family from YWAM to move back to my (Emily's) home town of Glenwood Springs, CO. It is beautiful here. When we stared to get ready to come God reminded me of a word that he had given me here after I spent a summer in The South working with hurricane victims. In the South we were awaken a lot in the night time and during those midnight hours we would do spiritual warfare for the area that we were in. When I first got home I woke in the middle of the night and just felt quitness around. I asked God what was happening in the Spirit realm here and he told me that the enemy had set up his system here and it was working (within money, new age stuff, the mountains taking the glory with the people not God). I asked Him when the battle was going to begin and we would see this land taken back for God it's creator. He told me that we would see the battle, people walking away from Him because of the battle and compromise in their lives, and people filled with the Holy Spirit moving in and seeking God's face in this valley. I started praying for this move of God to happen and when we were packing up our little house in LA I felt the Lord tell me that we were answering that prayer that I was praying. Now we are back and being with with people from here seeking His face here, and people who have moved to the valley and are seeking revival here . The church that we are back at (Christ Community Church) is being lead by a new pastor named Jim Tarr who is seeking and leading the church to seek for that revival too! So exciting!

Jonny is in the process of getting his green card right now so he is not working and is enjoying getting to know the new area, church and life in the mountains. I am back at my school that I use to work at, The Early Learning Center. I love it so much. I am working with three and four year olds' that make me laugh everyday and with two great co teachers that I am learning a lot from. The last three years we have been learning a lot about being under leaders ( which we grew so much being under our great leaders in LA Kenny and Rebekah). These teaching that we had make me even more grateful for my bosses Sara and Henreitte. They are wonderful women who love children so much and that is why they are in this job. They are so supportive of their teachers and help us in every way to become better teachers.

God has brought us to such a great place in this transition. We are loving seeking Him in a more personal way for our family. We feel so rested and excited to see what He is doing in this new season and new ground for us!

Psalm 27

Psalm 27

The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?

When evildoers assail me
to eat up my flesh,
my adversaries and foes,
it is they who stumble and fall.

Though an army encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear;
though war arise against me,
yet I will be confident.

One thing have I asked of the Lord,
that will I seek after:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord
and to inquire in his temple.

For he will hide me in his shelter
in the day of trouble;
he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;
he will lift me high upon a rock.

And now my head shall be lifted up
above my enemies all around me,
and I will offer in his tent
sacrifices of shouts of joy;
I will sing and make melody to the Lord.

Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud;
be gracious to me and answer me!
You have said, "Seek my Face"
My heart says to you,
"Your face, Lord, do I seek."
Hide not your face from me
Turn not your servant away in anger,
O you who have been my help.
Cast me not off; forsake me not,
O God of my salvation!
For my father and my mother have forsaken me,
but the Lord will take me in.

Teach me your ways, O Lord,
and lead me on a level path because of my enemies.
Give me not up to the will of my adversaries;
for false witnesses have risen against me
and they breathe out violence.

I believe that I shall look upon the
goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living!
Wait for the Lord;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait on the Lord!
