Grace and mercy be multiplied to you through the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ!
 Peace be with you
This is the Taking it to the Sreets crew and we would like to update you and what the Lord has been doing here in the Chicago area.
 
 Earlier this week we were all reunited, as the other missionaries made their journey up the states. Immediatley we felt pressed in our Spirits that the standards in all of our lives had to exceed anything that we could imagine, a new fire and passion has been birthing on the inside of us all. As soon as everyone was situated we all fell directly on our faces, and began to press into the spirit and to see more of Jesus.

 That's when the Lord seriously began to shake anything that could be shaken. The Lord began a serious work of purging, and sanctification. This was only in the last couple of days. And brother I am so excited and pumped to see the Lord consistently confirming his Word with signs following.
 
 Just to get you up to speed with what the Lord has been doing I will give you a quick review of what the Lord has done just in the last two days.

 Yesterday after an evening of witnessing we all came back to the house and began to share our testimonies. Chris Blue (One of the new missionaries) and Joshua Brown decided to witness at a local skatepark. There were about 8 or 9 people that were there and they all heard the gospel. Two of them decided to make Jesus Lord over their lives!
 Paige Canon (Another new missionary) and Michael Dyke decided to witness around the block. They led 5 people to Jesus and one young lady was healed of cramps as soon as she recieved salvation! Not to mention Dustin, being the fire-ball for Jesus that he is, led a young man to the Lord and then recieved the Baptism of the Holy Ghost! Praise the Lord! We came home around six that evening and had an awesome time of fellowship as we discussed what the Lord had been doing. Dustin, Chris, and I decided to go to Subway to get a bite to eat. Dustin began to witness to a Lady in the line. Here is were things gets interesting. The lady's boyfriend walks in because he was in the vehicle outside and sees three young guys talking to his girlfriend and assumes within himself we are hitting on her. So he comes inside to see what is going on, and he gets pulled in to this conversation about the Lord we were already having with his girlfriend. I began to explain the message with them that the Lord has been putting in my heart about raising the standard, and that we cannot carry sin into a relationship with the Living God. This is when they both started freaking out and with tears in there eyes began not only to confess their sin out of a heart of repentance, but explaining that only a few minutes previous before coming to subway, were discussing to each other how they wanted to quit drinking and get right with God! We fellowship with them for a while and before we parted, asked if we could pray for them. The lady got healed of tumors in her stomache and also healed of pain in her elbow. Her boyfriend was delivered of a Spirit of anger and bitterness! Upon returning to the house we walk through the door, everyone is standing over Shelly, Jonathans wife, which are the people that are putting us up, and she is weeping because she is in pain. If you don't know Jonanthan and Shelly just had their baby. The cause from this pain and opression was without a doubt had spiritual roots. We prayed and she was delivered from a bunch of baggage. But the pain was still there.

 (This is now Jonathan typing) Friday Morning was AMAZING.  Before I tell you about Friday I need to set the scene for what happened.  About 3 weeks ago I met a guy who was sealcoating peoples driveways in the neighborhood.  I ended up caving in and had them sealcoat my driveway.  As the owner of the company was coating the driveway I saw him limping and his leg was hurting bad.  I asked him about his leg and he said he had Titanium rods in his leg from some guy shattering his leg with a baseball bat.  I started to build myself up to pray for this guy to get healed but the opportunity slipped away and he left.  My heart was really going out for this guy and I felt like I let the Lord down.

Well, God gave me a 2nd chance! Friday morning I was taking care of Noah my new son and the doorbell rang.  The guy who sealcoated my driveway was at my door and he was Drunk.  He told me he had to go to jail for 10 days and was out of gas and needed a few bucks.  I went inside and got 5 bucks and dropped off Noah.  I went outside and started sharing the gospel with this guy and telling him about Jesus Christ.  He told me that Jesus or God or whoever runs this place killed his Mom and Dad in 1 week and was mad at God. I told him that was not God that killed his Mom and Dad but that is was probably an attack from the enemy(Satan). Then I became fed up, and straigh forward told the guy that Jesus is who he says he is and that would heal your leg to prove that he has the power to forgive sin. At this time Dustin came to help me pray with this guy. So we lay hands on this guy rebuke the pain, and command the titanium rod to dissolve and for the bone to grow back. After we had prayed for him, he looked at us in amazement and said " Uh, you......you guys.......what did you do? The pain is gone!" His limp went away and he said if his leg was still healed when he came back in ten days he would accept Jesus as his Saviour.

 Later that morning we laid hands on Shelly and began to rebuke the pain she was going through. We told her not to give place to the devil and not to acknowledge the pain. She went about her business and within the next sevral hours her countenance was entirely different!

 This evening 5 people were won to the Lord and two of them were filled with the Holy Ghost and spoke in tongues!
