West Coast Update

by Amy Shelton

After two days of training, the nine of us set out for Clovis, New Mexico to release fire onto the Cannon Air Force Base. Our team stepped out and ministered in supernatural unity that night, and God sent a torrential downpour both in the natural and the spiritual. After a stop at the Grand Canyon, we went to Las Vegas, Nevada where we met some of our Burn family. Our hearts connected with theirs immediately as they shared their vision for the city. After pressing in for hours on the streets of Las Vegas, we experienced breakthrough as God poured out hope and joy, even in the midst of hopelessness and depression.

From Vegas, we went to Los Angeles to minister with a ministry that is part of the Dream Center called Hope for Homeless Youth. In Redding, we had a wonderful time meeting with Beni Johnson as she shared her heart for this hour and prayed over our team. From Redding, we headed to Chico to team up with the Chico Prayer House to pray for God to breakthrough in their city. Next, in San Francisco, we declared that a movement would come from that place that would change the culture of the youth of this nation, just like the hippie movement did years ago. We ministered on the streets and called for life and true freedom to reign instead of the counterfeit that is so prevalent in that region!
We ended the trip with a bang in Sacramento, the capital of California. We got a chance to burn in the capitol and declare the Lord’s will for our nation. During our last night of worship God showed up in an intense time of battle! God was calling us to step up to a higher level of warfare and ministry, and every member of the team and many people in the congregation responded. That night victories were won for that church family and the area.
The next morning, our team packed up and made the forty hour trek back to Oklahoma. It was an intense three weeks filled with struggles, victories, and lots of driving, but we set out on a mission to call the wilderness into bloom and we did just that! Glory be to God!
