2012 is already well underway!  I’ve been looking forward to this year since the beginning of last Summer, and now its finally here!  We’ve been dreaming about all that God is going to do this year in our lives and in the nations and it’s no longer a dream, but the beginning of reality!

We are going to see the hungry fed, young missionaries raised up and sent out into the world, children grow in their understanding of the world they live in and the God who made them, and music written and poured out before the Lord!  The first fruits are already being seen this past January.

Months ago I was invited to come lead worship for SE regional YWAM conference in Talladega, Alabama.  This event is happening this week and has been absolutely amazing.  Over 300 missionaries are gathered here to wait on the Lord and trust for an increase in the mission field by 200,000 from America alone.  We have been hearing teaching on faith, soul winning, kingdom culture, and more.  We have had times of worship filled with passion that just won’t stop…and it is only 2 days in.

My wife wrote the most incredible blog about 18 months entitled Thursdays…it was her favorite day of the week in Australia (you can find it in the archives at www.aaronandronda.com)…but now I have my own favorite day. Each day holds a special event here in Kona. For instance, Fridays I lead worship for the Learning Center School on the base here. I get to worship the Lord with about 15 first and second graders. We sing all my favorite songs, dancing around on our rainbow colored carpet and shouting as loud as possible without completely losing control.  Then we close our time often learning to sing in a round to “Father I Adore You”, the first song I learned on the guitar, and also the first song Jacob learned on the guitar in Cambodia.

This past weekend as part of our Call2All DTS Outreach we attended the U of N Cambodia Staff retreat as a team. We were able to participate in the weekend as temporary staff and what a privilege it was to hear what God is doing in this nation in and through the U of N here. I had the honor of leading worship for the event and had so much fun as the presence of the Lord was heavy as 160 Khmer worshipped the Lord with passion for Jesus! There were celebrations of 50 years of YWAM internationally and 10 years of the U of N Cambodia. 3 years ago there were only a small handful of YWAMers in Cambodia and now there are over 150 staff and the number is growing all the time! What a miracle! Many of these YWAMers are Khmer people which is so great to raise up local leaders to reach this nation and the surrounding nations. Continue Reading

I have had the privilege this past week of leading worship for the DTS Regional Workshop for Cambodia and the surrounding nations. It is so beautiful when you have voices from Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, Philippines and more all singing the praises of Jesus! Each morning’s worship session was unique in how the Holy Spirit led and each was just as special. We had a morning inspired by my son Jacob’s worship as I used his child sized guitar and led us in some fun loving children’s worship songs. The group got right into the mood and danced before the Lord with great joy as God touched our hearts! Continue Reading
