JACKSON COUNTY UPDATE
A shift from reporting the good economic conditions in Jackson County to looking at a church. Living Waters is a Foursquare Church in Medford that recently moved to a more downtown location. Their goal is to be more connected to the city. Their motto is, Making Jesus Famous” It seems a bit outlandish, yet it is based on the Proverbs 31 woman. Rather than viewing the proverb as a punch list for women, it is instead taken from the view she represents the Bride of Christ. Therefore, men are also included in this passage. Verse 23. Her husband is well known, for he sits in the council chamber with the other civic leaders. Her husband is Jesus exalted in their cities because of the good deeds they do within their communities.

KLAMATH COUNTY UPDATE
Our House of Prayer is entering 2 semi-Sabbatical months before the end of the calendar year. During this time there are 3 things on my heart:
1. Following the Founders Gate staking event, the Lord is impressing upon me the need to pray over more gates in order to prepare the way for Him. I am asking my team to be waiting on the Lord to identify the next physical/spiritual gates to pray over and through. This includes prayer for the new structures to be set in place as old structures are removed.
2. Prayer for the completion of the 50 Days of Prayer book for Klamath County.
3. Prayer for Chiloquin. There have been a series of murders and shootings over the last 6 months that are very disturbing. We absolutely need the Lord to break through at this time to bring salvation, peace and unity to this hurting community in the north of Klamath County where many Klamath Tribal members reside.
On the southern side of the County however, we see revival, salvation and unity occurring in the outlying community of Malin. One northern California Baptist church has now combined with Malin Assembly of God and there may be another small church that is soon to join forces. Praise the Lord!
So we have trouble and triumph at the same time! I don’t know if you really understand how much your prayers mean to me and Klamath County. We are truly grateful and appreciate all of your prayers for us!
