Hi Icelanders! We had a great time with you this weekend. Thank you to everyone who came to the school. You'll find the notes over here. See you soon!

Well we're just about finished packing and about to head off for the airport to head to Iceland.  It was this time last year that we went to Iceland totally unprepared for what God was going to do there.  Since that visit we've been back twice already this year and tomorrow's trip will be the third - all told, four visits in one year!

Why?

Because God is all over that nation!  AJ and I fell in love with the people there, fell in love with the raw hunger for God in the hearts of the people and got to see God do spectacular things there.  We saw miracles, we saw fire, we saw angels, we saw God at work like few other times in our lives and we saw lives being transformed.

But this trip has a difference - because of the economic downturn of the recent months, Iceland got dropped in the ocean in terms of the global financial market and their Krona is now worth next to nothing compared to this time last year.  Which means that the churches can't afford to fly us in, the people can't afford to attend a conference and we can't afford to go.  So - it's a good thing we have a very big God who has all the finances in the world and can drop thousands of dollars easily, so we are going anyway in faith!  We spoke to John & Carol who had just gotten back from Iceland and they said, "Guys, now is the time to invest in Iceland".   Which is precisely what we are doing.

So AJ, Abigail and I are off to do a prophetic training school for the nation.  I've not been in a place where the heavens are so open and my dreams and encounters tend to go off the charts in Iceland so we're excited to come and lay a foundation and teach folks how to walk in revelatory paths safely.  We'd love to invite you to partner with us financially and in prayer. If you want to invest into this missions trip, hop on over to our online giving page where you can give electronically.  You might not be able to come to Iceland, but you can help send us there!

...but this time with a difference.  

So I’ve been sitting on some news for quite some time and I’m now excited to share it... the Jones family are moving to the USA!  That’s right ladies and gentlemen, we’re packing up and moving down across the border.  It’s been a journey that started around this time last year and ramped up around June and it has been pelting full speed ahead since then.

Last week we were in the US looking for a house to call home and all things being well we should be moving there next month, just in time for our first Christmas in the USA.  So what’s going on then?  Well, we’re moving to an awesome church called Grace Center to join the pastoral staff there and we’re super excited to be working with such an incredible team headed up by Jeff Dollar.  Jeff and Becky are two of our favourite people to be around and we can’t wait to be at Grace partnering with God to build his kingdom with these guys.  In all seriousness we’re joining a stellar team and we’re excited to be on board.  I’m not one for name dropping but the church kind of reads like a who’s who of the Kingdom so we’re still scratching our head amazed at God’s hand in all of this.

It’s been a wild ride thus far, behind the scenes we’ve been arranging visas, work permits, social security numbers, looking at houses, trying to find cars - all the fun stuff that goes with moving countries and now we are starting packing!  For me it’s another dream come true as I’ve always wanted to live in the USA and as we’re moving to be with friends and family in Nashville we’re over the moon.

Don’t worry, we’ll still be on the road - just not as much as the last few years!

Okay forget the last post, all is well in the world. The store is back up! And email too.

Well it looks like our hosting company is doing some (unexpected) maintenance on our online store server which means our online store is down for the time being. Sorry about that - we'll let you know when it's back up. It also means our email is down so if you are trying to get hold of us - use this address instead catalysthome at mac dot com for now.
