I talked with a couple girls in our school yesterday. One has been unable to sleep well for a long time. She couldn’t remember when she could sleep well. Her aunt and her grandma have the same problem. The other girl gets sick all the time. God gave me a word of knowledge for the second girl, that it wasn’t just her getting sick, that there was more to it. Then I got the word fear as I asked God for more help.
So I talked to my mom, shes amazing, and she told me some ways to get to the root of the problem in both cases. I talked with both girls and came up with several things that were keeping them from sleeping and being well. Many of the things that were keeping them from sleeping and being healthy were fear, anxiety, worry, and things like this. We prayed and they repented of these things, confessed, asked for forgiveness, and they were free!
The girl that couldn’t sleep said to me first thing this morning that she fell asleep right away and slept very well! PRAISE GOD! FREEDOM! The other girl wasn’t really feeling well today she said, but I believe that she has freedom. I think that she has to learn to walk in full freedom before all the effects of this will be gone.
O but I forgot. The girl that doesn’t ever really feel good, asked after we prayed and talked for a couple hours if we could do this for everyone that night. We decided to invite everyone to a worship night and then in the middle ask God to show us who needed freedom. We prayed that those that showed up would be the ones that needed freedom. 5 other people than me showed up and they all got freedom from something. Praise God! It was an amazing worship time!
We learned about the Holy Spirit this week. We learned how the Holy Spirit was evident all through scripture, in Jesus’ life, and now in our present life. We also did the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and most of us, those who were willing were speaking in tongues. I’m hoping that God gives me the ability to speak in tongues in Swahili, which is the language that is spoken in Africa where I am going. That would be cool!

UMMM.... God Heals Again! ;)
so people been getting hurt alot lately. one kid broke his collerbone, another messed up his arm and tailbone pretty bad, another broke his knee cap, another broke her foot. it was really cool that when a few of our guys were at the hospital they were goin around prayin for people, a guys broken arm fully mended back together and was healed 100%, a few others were totally healed as well. This morning during worship the kid that hurt his tailbone was in a lot of pain. Right at the end He walks up to the front at the podium. He couldn't even talk, He's just crying. Someone in the group goes... did you get healed... and he shakes his head yes. He then goes on to tell us how he was in a really lot of pain, and now it is totally gone after someone prayed for him. Praise God!

God Heals AGAIN!
God answered the prayer for Judson’s eyes. He went last night, unknowing to me, to get contacts fitted. He was able to see clearly for the first time in a long while with these new contacts on. He will receive soft contacts next week and when his eyes fully heal, he had a surgery a while ago, he will receive hard contacts. He will be able to drive again and function normally. He probably will have pretty good vision.
Yesterday we got 3 new teachers. One of them is named Emmy. She heard that God was moving last week through us as God healed several people. She said that she wasn’t going to say anything, but because she heard this, she decided to share that she has fibremiosis or some disease where she gets really tired and sick often. This morning we prayed for her, the pain in her legs left her instantly, for the last few hours she said that her body was trembling inside, I believe this is God working. I remembered how I was never able to eat an apple because I was allergic to them. My mom told me that it was because of fear and that if I pray against fear in Jesus name I can eat an apple. So I did and it worked. I no longer am allergic to apples, I eat them all the time now. But one day I became fearful of the allergic reaction of the apple, I started drinking water and eating other things to make sure I didn’t have a reaction. I definitely had a reaction, because I let fear in.
I encouraged her not to have doubt or fear in her situation. To not let satan have a foothold in her life. She then told me that she has had depression, fear, and doubt because she had a healing experience at the beginning of the year and it has come back. It has brought doubt and pain and depression with it. I told her to pray against these things in Jesus name.

please pray
The finger of God is an amazing movie that has documented what God is doing in the world today. I recommend everyone watches it. I bought the audio book When Heaven Invades Earth by Bill Johnson and listened to it in three days it was so good.
I am praying as much as I can for my small group leader Judson’s eyes. He has had some stuff wrong with them for a while and at 27 he has the vision of a 60 year old. This prohibits him from driving, reading things, and just enjoying normal life. I am committed to praying for this until it is healed. Please pray as well. I really want this and I feel God does as well. Please dedicate some time to pray for him and the full restoration of his eyes.
This morning as me and a couple guys were prayin for him, the Holy Spirit became really heavy on me. The weight held me down on the couch I was sitting on. I felt like I was 500 lbs. It was really amazing and powerful. I definitely felt the presence of God. I also felt like I tasted God a little. This was a little different. In this moment I asked a guy I was praying with to get Judson so we could pray over him. We did and nothing happened. I still praise God even though he wasn’t healed.

fresh pow! and NEW PICS! i added 124 new pics and the player only shows 100 newest. so click the link if you want to see them all!
We went snowboarding and there was about 2-3ft of powder! It was an amazing day.
We have been learning about the Kingdom of God. That we have the Power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead. The resurrection power. We can use this to command the Kingdom of God to come into this earth. Command healing in the physical, mental, emotional, relational, and probably more. Today we went snowboarding again. Several people got hurt throughout the day. Then we started praying in the lodge. Shane’s ankle which looked like he had an extra knee cap on the side of his ankle got fully healed! PRAISE GOD! Andrew’s hand/wrist had something wrong with and it was completely healed. Praise God! Clayton got his hip healed.
We watched the Burton open half-pipe competition. Shawn white popped back to back cork 1080’s right in my face! Got a pic of that. Other than that we just really enjoyed the speaker. Learned about the power we have because of Christ’s resurrection.

Queenstown
Joe dirt prayed yesterday! We went to the another rail jam in Christchurch and a few of our guys entered the competition. One of them broke his knee cap in half and had to go to the hospital. After the railjam was done some of us went to the hospital and Joe dirt came with. He prayed for matt, the one with the cracked knee cap. Wow! God is amazing!
I didn’t go to the hospital I rode back with Gretchen and lauren. Lauren sprained her ankle and had just left the hospital before she met up with us. While in the car I asked to pray for Lauren. We ended up prayin for her the whole 40 minute drive. We decided to pray until it was healed. When we got back we got together everyone that was around and asked them to pray with us. It turned into an amazing time of worship, prayer and healing. I was given a picture of a mountain and a van going up it. The van rolled off the cliff, but then everyone was healed. I believe this meant that we had a large need for healing and that it would be done that night. So we each said what needed to be healed on us. There was about 15 of us at this time. Then we prayed for healing. By the end of the night Lauren’s ankle was about 75% better and she could walk on it. Earlier someone barely touched her toe and she said she wanted to kill them. Many others were healed, I asked for healing in my shoulder and my knee. Both get agitated sometimes. So far they feel good. God spoke to me and gave me Luke 6 during this worship time. This is when Jesus told the guy with the shriveled hand to stretch it out and it was healed. I asked Lauren to take a step. She walked around the room! This is 3 hours after she sprained her ankle and was told she wouldn’t be able to walk for 3 weeks.
We are in Queenstown now and we fasted today on the drive over. We fasted because we felt that God was going to move in healing throughout our trip here and we wanted to pray about it. Please pray that God moves this next week in Queenstown and many are healed and find the Lord.
Lauren’s leg has not yet been fully healed. On Tuesday morning. I came to the conclusion that God has a bigger plan than I do. I just want full healing NOW! God has a bigger plan. He has told a few people that the whole school needs to see this healing happen.
We have been learning about the Kingdom of God. Sozo is the word for salvation, but also for healing and deliverance. This is what Jesus died for. We have the authority to bring the kingdom. After learning about the Kingdom for the last couple days, we went on a treasure hunt. We each had a paper with blanks for how people look, places, clothing, weird things, etc. We asked God to fill the paper with things such as green jacket, pink hair, brick building, etc. so we went to Queenstown and walked around and looked for the people in our 4 person team’s sheets. We prayed with several people, had some good conversations, and prayed for a kid’s knee and we believe it was totally healed.
So I got back and I was kind of disappointed that I didn’t heal anyones broken bones or something really crazy. Then as I was complaining like a little girl, there was a girl from our school that was crying. She was having a hard time with how some people have treated her. I prayed for that and she had a huge smile when I was done. She then said she had pain all throughout her body from her head,shoulders, back, neck, and muscles. She said the pain was 7. I prayed and the pain went to 3. 5 min later I prayed again and the pain went to 0. Then it moved from 0 to 1 over the next while. Praise God! Then she said that she has never had a prophecy. So I told her to give me one right there. She said she saw the great wall of china. She said that before I asked her to do that she definitely wasn’t thinking about the Great wall of China. This was the first thing that came to her mind. Then I asked her to tell me what it meant. She said she went there one time and walked far away from where the bus dropped her off and where the wall was not really kept up because there wasn’t a lot of tourists that went there. It was crumbling. She said that maybe God was going to crumble some walls in my life….. and then I heard we are having ministry tonight! sweeet! She just said her pain is a 0!
O and we are having Kelly Clark, pro snowboarder/gold medalist, teach at our school tonight and talk about miracles she has been a part of!

LORD OF THE RINGS!
for all you lord of the rings fans, we are snowboarding on MORDOR this week! its called remarkables. but it is where they shot MORDOR in the movie!~
everything else is going really well. We met our friend "joe dirt" as he calls himself for the second week in a row. This guy randomly shows up where we are. me and another student (travis) bought him dinner and were talking about God and stuff like that. He started out athiest, then he believed in positive thinking. after dinner we went and watched the "oneyear" snowboarding video that we saw the week before as well. He came and watched the movie and enjoyed it.
The movie is a christian snowboard film that talks about the lives of pro snowboarders and the struggles they have has as christians and how they became christians. It is set up so that Joel, the director of the film/our speaker last week, can give the gospel after the movie.
He went through the gospel and joe dirt heard it. He said afterward that he really liked the movie and what was said, he really "felt" the movie. And maybe one day he would believe. he liked that we didnt push our beliefs on him.
Pray for joe dirt. he is a really good guy that works alot. he doesnt have much hope in life, but we hopfully can show him Jesus by loving him. I think we made a huge impact on his life last night, so lets pray that it continues to grow in him.
thanks for reading!... MORDOR!

I added more pics. Scroll down and check them out. We are going to Queenstown next week!
Our amazing chef Ali told me yesterday that while she was praying she thought of me and prayed for me. God said something like “I am glad you notice me when you see me!” That God is glad she notices Jesus when she sees Him… in me! Wow! How awesome. She said referring to my character that I am like Jesus.
Another girl later that night said almost the same thing. She told me how the other night in worship, she asked God what attracted her to me as a person. God told her that she sees Him in me. She sees God in me. That is cool!
The pastor told me the other day, after I gave the message at his church, Jordan- the river that brings life, and he sure did that today. This was also such a huge blessing.
I’ve already asked you all for money, but we need $65,000 New Zealand Dollars to have everyone go on outreach. That works out to about $43,000 US. I wanted to offer everyone a chance to give to this. If not, I fully understand. I would just like you to pray about it, if God puts it on your heart, ask for a name, and an amount. If you feel God is impressing this on you please respond to this blog and I can tell you how to get the money here.

Taste and see that the Lord is good!
IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THE BLOG UNDER THIS. READ THAT ONE FIRST! THANKS
I’ve been getting the same revelation from God, almost 10 times now. People say “I listen when you talk.” People listen when you speak. Then they go into how powerful it was, or that I don’t speak a lot, but when I do it is meaningful. Another guy said I see you in a pastor role, speaking in front of people in conferences. Another said that that there was light all around me and the word was the light in front of me.
I’ve been being called Reverend Gibson, Pastor G, Preacherman.
Eph2:1-10
We have had such amazing worship over the last few days. I have been really enjoying God’s presence. Take some time today and enjoy Him. What is keeping you from God? Get rid of it! God has been speaking through me to our school. Our worship leader, has encouraged me to speak during our worship times. I did it last Friday and this Wednesday. I haven’t been this close to God ever in my life. The last couple weeks has brought me really close to God and I love it. I’ve been cutting off all sin and coming to God in worship. Focusing on Him more.
In Africa I will be a part of Plead The Cause Uganda. You can look it up on the internet if you want to know more about it. I will be doing some preaching in Africa. I am wondering if anyone has help in subjects for messages that I can prepare.
God has really been speaking to me lately. This morning He gave me words for our community, just because I asked.
DTS has been amazing. I recommend it to everyone that is reading this blog. It’s an amazing time to give to God to learn about Him, experience Him, and make amazing friends. There are several hundred DTS’s around the world that specify in different areas of interest. For example I am on the snowboarding DTS as most of you know. I encourage you to check out and search through the many different kinds of DTS’s that are available on the YWAM website. http://www.ywam.org/Searches/FindDTS.asp
Ive been learning about what the Kingdom of God is. I’m starting to understand it more. I “Get” the Kingdom. I understand it, and I can receive it.
Jesus is everything I need to become.

God Is GOOD!
We had a rail jam Friday night that was amazing! It was really cool. They had two ramps that you start at the top and ride down off a jump onto a railing or a box. Then fly across and do some sweet tricks. We had several people that showed up probably around 60-70. I had a good chance to talk to some random guy that we picked up in the city and brought there.
Saturday night we had the premier of “One Year” a snowboarding documentary of 4-5 Christian professional snowboarders. It was a very cool movie and showed a lot of cool snowboarding tricks. Then it was able to bring the gospel up and how each was able to find God. They each had a different angle on how God has helped them throughout the last year. We had about 170 people at this video premier. Which was full capacity! Then after, Joel, the film’s director/our speaker for next week, shared the gospel in an amazing way, it was clear and not forward in any way. There were several people from China and other parts of the country that were brought into the country just to see that video. God is AMAZING! He then led us all through a prayer of salvation and I believe that many followed through with it.
So the night went on and everybody left and I was on the team that stayed overnight at the same church and helped out with the church service. I was told beforehand that some of us may be asked to give testimonies so I asked if they wanted me to. I ended up talking with the pastor about and telling him a couple things I could possibly share. He said he wasn’t sure what sermon he was going to preach, but that we could meet and pray about it the next day. That night before I went to sleep, me and another friend worshiped God for about 3 hours. Over this time God downloaded a message for the congregation the next day. The pastor had said something about sacrifice and I ran with it. God gave me a whole message, about 30min and made it very clear and powerful.
The next day I met with the pastor 20 min before church started and shared how God spoke to me. He said that it fit great in with the series he had been sharing on the weeks before. He gave me permission to give the message God gave me the night before.
So there I was “guest speaker” at this little church in Methven. It was amazing. I had such a good time giving it. I was given amazing feedback by everyone I talked with. Maybe in the next blog I’ll write out the main parts of the sermon.
After the sermon, since I had called for freedom among the congregation, talked about the freedom from many addictions I had been given, a woman came and asked for prayer. Me, Ang, and the pastor’s wife surrounded her and put our hands on her. I said “God is Good” and she collapsed convulsing! It was very interesting. She was shaking a lot, coughing pretty crazily, and at one point yelled very loudly for about a minute straight. Pretty powerful. I believe God gave her freedom through this. God is SO GOOD! She eventually got up and was fine. It was a cool experience. I meant to write a lot about the last week, but this weekend made me forget about anything else. I am going to come back and write another blog about last week though. I love you guys! Keep prayin for me!

After the sermon, since I had called for freedom among the congregation, talked about the freedom from many addictions I had been given, a woman came and asked for prayer. Me, Ang, and the pastor’s wife surrounded her and put our hands on her. I said “God is Good” and she collapsed convulsing! It was very interesting. She was shaking a lot, coughing pretty crazily, and at one point yelled very loudly for about a minute straight. Pretty powerful. I believe God gave her freedom through this. God is SO GOOD! She eventually got up and was fine. It was a cool experience. I meant to write a lot about the last week, but this weekend made me forget about anything else. I am going to come back and write another blog about last week though. I love you guys! Keep prayin for me!
