This is a quick blog that I posted on the G42 Leadership Academy blogsite. We have an amazing series of courses linedup, with some world-renown teachers, prophets, and leaders. And keep checking out the blogsite, the interns are now posting there, and it will give you a real insight into some of the things we are doing!
Please keep in prayer about finding a place for the school. We could stay in our current villa and take over the rest of the rooms (we are sharing it right now with another church), but it will take some major upgrades to the plumbing, kitchen, and repairs [maybe a future short-term missions trip?]. Or we could move into another place, but we need a place that is big enough, with some room for expansion, unfortunately nothing is jumping out at us as we search…//Dave
Here’s What You’re Missing…
The June ‘09 term is officially started; Andrew Shearman is kicking, slapping, and shouting; the sun is shining on the Costa del Sol; we are kicking hell’s butt everyday, proclaiming life in Christ to the nations and training radicals to go out and make a change in the world! You’re going to hear more from all of our interns here on their thoughts, dreams, aspirations, and daily life…but I just wanted to share with you our list of courses that we are going to teach and impart this term. Maybe one or two (or all of them) will grab your heart–if so, check out more on the Leadership Academy at www.g42leadershipacademy.org
Between now and September 10th, we will cover:
- Equipping
- The Church
- Church Planting (with visiting teacher George Ridley from Uganda & the UK)
- The Elements of Leadership
- Prophetic Activation (with visiting teacher Ted Hanson from Bellingham, Wash., USA)
- Media (with visiting teacher Hermann Haan from Ede, Holland)
- Communication
- Developing a Ministry (with visiting teachers Michael & Kathy Hindes from Port Huron, Mich., USA)
- Team Building
- Worship (with visiting teachers Collin & Jessica Leijenaar from Ede, Holland)
- Release & Relationship
And of course, amazing meals, fun times together, living in community, and ‘kitchen table’ topics like Character & Discipline and Servanthood. See you soon- our fall term starts October 5th!






God took me around the world to show me His love for all of humanity. In the midst of this crazy journey, I saw and experienced a lot of suffering. Instead of fleeing from God, I saw a deeply rooted love He has for each person. In the places where some would say God abandoned, that was where I found Him. The hope and love that God expressed through me transcended all language and cultural barriers. The message of Christ pierced thousands of hearts this year and I can’t wait to be dancing and singing with them in heaven for-ev-er.


Ben was supposed to have a CAT scan amd MRI this week to make sure that everything is right, and that the slowness in crawling ,pulling up and catching himself is just a milestone he hasn’t reached yet. The hospital haven’t called us. But as I wait, I just keep reading the gospels and Jesus healed everyone, all different ways. Telling them ” you will get what you believe”. So I a little caught between ‘faith and works’and having these tests, or just plain believing God to take care of Ben until everything in his little body works together. If any of you have any godly wisdom on this……….. This boy is so wonderful. You can see in his eyes, the sweetness and thoughtfulness.
Gabriella got over her rash and tonsilitis, she still has some strange bumps all over her tongue, but she is doing just fine. Her artistic talents are coming out moreand more, and she is attempting to draw, paint all the Mr. Men and stick them on her door. she loves the empty toilet roll tubes, and picking up random junk off the street. In her mind it is all so useful and can be made into something.

Our container has arrived, it has cleared customs (thank you God), but is now stuck in Cadiz because the dock workers or some workers are on strike!!!! But I figure we have waited over three months what’s another few days? Although, I have to say that I am looking forward to mashing potatoes etc with a masher and not having to use a cheap fork, that bends each time i try to mash. Having something else to wear too, will be a really good thing. I have never worn the same outfits so many times. It’s going to be like Christmas.
