CCM: Streets

my name's darren...all my frenz call me d..i've had a major burden on my heart since 2007 to witness and minister to as many people as the Lord will send my direction, or vice-versa.. in late june of 2008, the Lord laid on my heart what He wanted me to do with my ministry..what you are witness to right now is the very early stages of what is to be a cross-country missions trip to several cities and towns across the U.S. i've completely laid myself open to wherever He leads, and whatever doors He opens, i'll go through...doors and offers have already begun opening up across the country.. the venture will begin in my hometown of Olympia, WA..and from there i'll be boarding a greyhound bus heading either east or south to begin with, and go wherever He leads..the road is completely open, and there is no timeline to this mission, other than His... what i would ask of any of you is prayer for this mission..that the Lord will continue to open the doors for ministering opportunities, and to give me the strength and confidence(that only He can provide) to share Him with as many as will listen.. i'll be using this profile to update y'all as much as possible with where i'm at, where i'm heading.. my primary mission is witnessing and preaching..my secondary mission is meeting and fellowshipping with as many of you as possible, whatever's in His will is what i'm praying for.. i am completely leaving this open to Him as to where to take me first..and with that, i have something i need to put out there for you all to be upholding in prayer and this is where the networking comes in... i need you to check through your church, your local ministries(or even your own personal ministries), and pray and see what is needed...if any of you are aware or know of a local situation in your area that is needing assistance in some way, please obtain the necessary information and email me with it as soon as you're able to... i have ideas of where i'd like to begin, but i really want the Lord to lead me to where i'm needed to begin with..and as i hit certain areas that are close to any of you, then we'll begin to make plans to spend time together and fellowship... i would love to spend as much time with all of you as possible, and attend services with you at your home church..even if there was an opportunity to speak(check into it and let me know if you're aware of that possibility..this would primarily be a chance to share my testimony and speak about the mission)..but, my main focus has to be on ministering to the people in yer areas that are most in need of Him... i am completely relying on Him..and have already committed to the fact that this is not about me, or about how it will benefit me..only how it may bless others, how it will bless and glorify and bring honor to Him and build His kingdom, and be a blessing to myself in the process, i suppose..but that will only come through being in service to those i come in conatct with... i am absolutely fine with meals at the local missions, as well as lodging there..this is not going to be nor is it supposed to be a high-end mission by any means..this is me getting on the streets, and into the communities where He is needed the most by those who are considered by many to be the least.. this is about me humbling myself to take His message to the ones who are in the most need..and i'm sure i will find myself in some very humbling (and possibly dangerous)situations, but then again, that's what i'm planning on... the seed gifts that come into this ministry are not going to be spent on luxuries or accommodations..only travel expenses from one location to another..however God chooses to bless me through any of this is totally in His hands and His plans... CCM is not about me, but about Him...not what i am, but what He's already done and continues to do through me...Lord, please continue to use me as a vessel.. i mentioned it on the phone this morning to one of my closest Christian brothers.. that if you see or discern me becoming prideful at all throughout this mission..please keep me in check;)..i am asking for accountability here, peeps;) as soon as i start sporting nice suits and white platform shoes..it's time to take me aside and have a good heart-to-heart talking to;) my next update will more than likely come once i hit my hometown, which will be this coming weekend.. in the meantime, stay strong..submit yourselves daily to His word and His will in your lives stand strong in Him, and share Him with whoever you can..know that He is God, and that Jesus Christ is Lord!!! God bless each of you today...and every day thank you so much for your prayers and support... yer brother in Jesus Christ alone, dwww.myspace.com/crosscountryministries...............after a year of growing and getting stronger in my walk with the Lord, i was sitting at the computer one day, and a call began to be laid on my heart about the Lord wanting to take me out of my comfort zone..at that point in time, my comfort zone was where i was located at me friend's house in aberdeen, washington (state)..at first, i thought maybe what i was feeling or having laid on my heart was that i was supposed to begin doing outreach in the downtown area, but after much prayer and no definite confirmations i realized that that particular area was still too much in "the zone"..so i thought maybe it would be time to head back into olympia (the town i'd been slandered and rejected in a year before), but i didn't receive a peace about that either..after even more prayer, and then speaking with a number of frenz in my network(s) here, i saw door after door and opportunity upon opportunity begin to open up across the country..at that point in time, my finances had gotten low enough in the bank account that i knew that even entertaining the idea of embarking on a cross-country trip would be out of the question..and that's when i began to see God start to move in ways that only He can..an initial sale of a vehicle i had was the foundation for the first part of the trip, and a few seed-gifts from awesome frenz across the country began trickling in, and it began the wheels moving to actually start mapping out a route that would eventually lead me throughout the majority of the United States..into the midwest, down into the south and into the southwest, heading back up the west coast before the end of the year..and then after a brief time out to rest and regenerate, i was able to head back out into the midwest and out onto the east coast...the trip began in late july of 2008...that's when i stepped onto a greyhound bus in my hometown of olympia and put my future, my life and everything attached (which wasn't much) and set it all in His hands...what followed over the next 9 months can be found here in the blogs..it's almost a year later (july 3rd, 2009) and i'm back in my old hometown (for whatever length of time He has me here), employed again for the first time in 2 years, and loving every moment as i watch God's amazing hands at work in my life and the lives of my frenz and family... Take me past the outer courts Into the Holy Place Past the brazen altar Lord I want to see your face Pass me by the crowds of people And the Priests who sing your praise I hunger and thirst for your righteousness But it's only found in one place[Chorus:] Take me into the holy of holies Take me in by the blood of the lamb Take me into the holy of holies Take the coal, touch my lips, here I am ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ***8may our Lord Jesus Christ strengthen, protect, and guide each of you daily "..believing is not about seeing and faith is not about reaching, and on this journey, i keep learning flying is not about wings..""Not About Wings" Downhere.................................................... ............................................................ ................. i've had a major burden on my heart since 2007 to witness and minister to as many people as the Lord will send my direction, or vice-versa.. in late june of 2008, the Lord laid on my heart what He wanted me to do with my ministry..what you are witness to right now is the very early stages of what is to be a cross-country missions trip to several cities and towns across the U.S. i've completely laid myself open to wherever He leads, and whatever doors He opens, i'll go through...doors and offers have already begun opening up across the country.. the venture began in my hometown of Olympia, WA..and from there i boarded a greyhound bus and headed out to follow Him, going wherever He leads..the road is completely open, and there is no timeline to this mission, other than His... what i would ask of any of you is prayer for this mission..that the Lord will continue to open the doors for ministering opportunities, and to give me the strength and confidence(that only He can provide) to share Him with as many as will listen.. i'll be using this profile to update y'all as much as possible with where i'm at, where i'm heading.. my primary mission is witnessing and sharing Him with people..my secondary mission is meeting and fellowshipping with as many of you as possible, whatever's in His will is what i'm praying for..
