Rural communities are on our hearts, as y'all well know! So, when I received an invite to speak at a celebration for Graduates at Harveyville United Methodist Church in Harveyville, KS (population app. 200) I was honored! My Family and I saddled up in the Dowling Big Rig on March 22 and made the 50 minute trek to Harveyville to encourage the Graduates, share our story, and preach the gospel!</div>

As you can see, the tornado really wreaked havoc on the church building. When I share my story, I always encourage the audience to remember, "It doesn't matter where you start, or even where you are right now, it's how you finish that matters!" CHECK out the picture below! The Church has been completely restored!! </div>

I have had the opportunity to speak/preach/perform my strongman shows all over the world. You might think that I would be used to God "showing up" and doing some amazing things. BUT, God has a way of "showing up" that it is alway unique and pardon the pun, BLOWS ME AWAY!! There were several people in attendance that different aspects of my story REALLY touched. In turn, I was able to point them to true hope through what Christ has done in me. VERY COOL!</div>

We were competing against the Wichita State and Kansas, Sweet 16 Game. GO SHOX!! But we had approximately 50 in attendance with over 20 people responding to the call to follow Jesus with everything they have!</div>

I am a father of 6 amazing kiddos and with that comes great responsibility, My wife had some things that she needed to do and had a DR appointment so, I brought my 5 year old Miriam with me to help!

I shared my story about overcoming attempted suicide, cutting, self-hatred and being limited to lifting 50 pounds after a back surgery. How my oldest daughter Anna helped me learn how to love, and how for the first time in my life, put someone else's needs before mine. I shared how Anna was the reason I started lifting weights again which lead to me becoming a World and American record holder and Professional Strongman. </div>

I was not prepared for or was expecting the outcome of the response from the students after the assembly.

A few months ago I had a "come to Jesus" moment on behalf of my family. I was tired, we will leave it at that. The Father told me that we could choose our own path, but that was not where He had asked us to walk. I broke down crying and said, "My yes is still yes Lord." Lots of times the Lord asks us to follow him into areas that don't feel normal, where we don't naturally fit well, but we have a mission to complete. That is part of how our stay in Topeka has been.<br />
After that morning I contacted one of my Missionary friends for encouragement. I needed to hear how to do what He was asking of us. She gave me great advice: Be who you are ALWAYS. And, do the ONE THING the Lord is asking you to do.<br />
After our conversation she had a dream where she was standing in a field of sunflowers. The seeds of the sunflowers were SHOOTING out in harvest! There was much media there filming this phenomenon! I knew right then that the harvest would not be HARD. That it was ripe and ready! We would be standing in awe of what the Lord was doing.<br />
Fast forward a few days and I received a vision from the Lord. I was standing, looking out of a doorway at a single sunflower just beyond the opening. It was tall and full of seeds. Beyond the sunflower was bare earth and a simple blue sky. I waited about three weeks and painted it. Here it is:<br />

When I asked the Lord for understanding and I saught wisdom of both things, this is what I got:<br />
The harvest is READY and will come easily!<br />
We are going to reap harvest where seed has not even been sown!<br />
Sunflowers follow the sun. They face it all day long. We want to follow THE SON!<br />
We know we are to follow the Lord into places of dry land. In our next post we will share EXACTLY where that dry land is! Stay tuned!<br />

In January God gave Bubba a vision: Bubba was riding a dark colored bike (motorcycle for those of us that don't get the "biker" lingo ;-) down a two lane road, wind blowing his full beard, his bible strapped on the back. Bubba text me saying, "I think we are to go after Rural Communities." My spirit leapt! I had been feeling the pull to small town life, country life, for a while. Bubba also saw that we will be traveling to rural areas presenting the gospel. We truly feel that this is a "nation" to be reached.<br />
About two days later the Lord gave me a picture of a very large dining room table filled with MEN; full bearded men. I knew in my spirit that these men (not teenagers) were sharing life with our family. Men need mentored by other men, but also need to see family life; watch a father interact with his children and love his wife. And, watch his children and wife return his love.<br />
Our old vision had many layers: fathers, mothers and caregivers, this generation, standing for justice. Though we will have opportunities to impact lives in those areas, our new focus will be men, men in rural communities. We are excited about the new intense focus of the ministry!<br />
Keep posted for more details coming SOON!<br />

We were thrilled to have approximately 130 in attendance. That's a great number considering the size of the town and we were competing with a wedding in town the same night! When Bubba gave the call to follow Jesus, my eyes filled with tears! Three fourths of the crowd raised their hands and boldly stood to ask The Lord to be lord of their lives! It was beautiful!!! An entire row of junior high girls responded and several adult men that I would have never guessed, responded as well.</div>

We planned to go to church on Sunday with our host family and head home after lunch. Did you notice WE planned that? Here comes a God opportunity ladies and gentlemen!<br />
So Saturday night after the show, around 10 pm, our Host Dad told us that Pastor Steve asked if we would like to speak at his church the next morning. Our answer? YES! We love the opportunity to share our story, especially TOGETHER!<br />

We enjoyed our time worshipping and sharing at Stockton Assembly of God with Pastor Steve and the whole church family! It was such a refreshing time. A powerful time! We truly love it when God simply slips a sweet "interruption" in our lives to meet amazing people and bring hope and healing!<br />
THANK you for your continued support, We could not do what we do without our supporters, friends and family!! God Bless.<br />

Bubba has traveled once or twice a month most of the summer and fall months visiting Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri. Of those trips the rest of the family has helped on all but two outings. Which has been great! We are working at making our ministry, OUR ministry. The boys are helping set up, tear down and even do some strength feats on stage.<br />

The girls are helping carry things, tearing things down and of course cheering! We have also had the whole family pray for people when the location has been appropriate. Now, that's fun! Watching our children lay hands on the sick and seeing them healed....there aren't words to describe the feeling of watching our kids move in total faith knowing that the Father can heal. </div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Following God’s Heart all the way to Kansas!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well everyone, the Lord has us on the move
again. This time, literally. He has now called us to Kansas, the hub of a
Fatherhood movement that will spread over the United States and quit possibly
the world!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As many of you know, Bubba has a wonderful
story of how The Lord has taken him from a broken little boy and turned him
into a wonderful husband and father. And, as many of you know, the Lord hasn’t
given Bubba this story to keep to himself. He is called, by God, to share his
story with other dad’s to encourage them to be the father’s God created them to
be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Last spring a Fatherhood Movement was
started in Kansas and Bubba was involved from the ground up, helping develop
the curriculum, helping develop the presentations, was the spokesman for the
Strong Dad’s Program, appearing in several Public Service announcements, being
the Key Note Speaker for the Fatherhood Summit last June, and speaking over 40
times at various Head Start locations all over Kansas. This program will be
continuing this spring serving fathers of children ages 3 to 5 years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now, Bubba is involved with yet another
groundbreaking movement. He has been hired by the State of Kansas to assist youth that are aging out of foster care become self-sufficient through raising public awareness. Bubba will be presenting information about the programs offered to these youth and recruiting individuals to come along side of the youth as committed-supportive adults at community organizations such as: schools, homeless shelters, residential facilities, churches, and Foster Parent support groups that may come into contact with a youth. </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Actually, Bubba and I, both feel that
this is the first time in our lives as full time ministers, that family,
ministry and work, will all be AS ONE. It will just be “our life”. Following
this call plugs into two aspects of our Vision Statement that, until now, have
been very low key:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Standing for justice
for those who have been unjustly treated and calling forth this generation.</span></div>

"Per aspera ad astra" is the Kansas State Motto (To the Stars through difficulties)…we think we fit right in! The story The Lord has given our family, as many of you know, is just this…we have both gone through difficulties as children and youth, as a married couple, in ministry…and the final destination is eternity with Jesus!!!!<br />
As we start our journey here in Kansas to what God has planned for our family, we are feeling the shift…<br />
shift into being apart for most of the day,<br />
shift of communicating very little until evening,<br />
shift from full time Jesus preaching to full time Jesus "living",<br />
shift from five year friendships to building friendships from the ground up,<br />
shift into "The World" of public school,<br />
shift into being sports and ballet parents,<br />
shift from distant neighbors to friendship neighbors,<br />
shift from comfort to unfamiliar.<br />
In all of this shifting we can see God blowing his breath of life on us…LITERALLY! Kansas is known for it's winds and the stories are TRUE! It blows here 99% of the days, the rare day that it is still feels just off. haha<br />
Back to the breath of life thing :) We sense the presence of The Lord here so strongly! We can see the Father's heart for this land…it makes me weep. He has such great things for the people of Kansas to accomplish for his Kingdom! I pray they can see it too, some day soon.<br />
Please pray with us for "Kingdom Vision" to be strong here; for the people of Kansas to realize they are important to The Lord; for the will of the Lord to be the focus of this place!<br />
It is SO beautiful here…<br />

We are still in the process of finalizing the 501c3 paperwork, but we are up and running!</span><br />

<br />
God had been speaking to us about a small business to assist in funding our ministry.<br />
I had ideas about a clothing line and I wanted to pursue it.<br />
<br />
I had been a "sponsored" athlete of <a href="http://www.discipletraininggear.com/" target="_blank">Disciple Training Gear(DTG)</a> for a few years and Had built a relationship with the founder and Owner Chad White.<br />

<br />
<br />
I had reservations about starting a new "christian" based clothing line as I did not want to hurt Chad and his business, By taking business away from him. So I prayed and the Lord had me lay it down. The during one of the many conversations I had with Chad, he mentioned the laying down the business and possibly closing it and or selling it. MY SPIRIT JUMPED. But waited on confirmation from GOD and suddenly felt complete and total peace about it. So I asked would you be interested in selling me the business? Chad stated that in a his thoughts and prayers about <a href="http://www.discipletraininggear.com/" target="_blank">Disciple Training Gear(DTG)</a> that God had given him MY name as one that he thought could take over the business.<br />
<br />
SO we are announcing TODAY that we are now the new owners of <a href="http://www.discipletraininggear.com/" target="_blank">Disciple Training Gear(DTG)</a>.<br />

Here is Chad's letter introducing the transition of <a href="http://www.discipletraininggear.com/" target="_blank">Disciple Training Gear(DTG)</a>.<br />

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: medium;"><u>EXCITING NEWS </u></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><u>- N<span style="font-size: medium;">EW OWNER</span></u></span></span></div>
<br /><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><br />Exciting News for Disciple Training Gear.<br /><br />DTG has been been an absolute pleasure to run for the past few years. I was able to combine my passions - my faith and fitness into a way to supplement our family income while allowing me to stay home and homeschool my children while all the while my wife serves in the military. I truly believed (and still do, of course) that I would be able to reach non-Christians and Christians alike and encourage them while providing a product and service. What I didn't expect, was that there were many people searching for something like DTG and not finding it. <br /><br />DTG was successful from the very beginning. Immediately, people latched on to DTG and unselfishly promoted it and me at the same time. I was so encouraged as DTG grew more quickly than I ever imagined. However, along with initial success came a heftier time commitment than I had anticipated. My family dynamic also changed along the way. I went from having two kids to being the proud daddy of five kids. Homeschooling and taking care of babies also required way more time and commitment than I had anticipated. I sacrificed more and more (my workout time, my sleep, my family time) and it worked for a while, but now it has taken its toll on me and my health.<br /><br />In the past year to 18 months I have purposefully had to try and slow DTG down. I've stopped sending out newsletters, stopped posting on DTG's Facebook page, and pulled all my advertising. It has been successful inasmuch as you can say intentionally slowing down a source of income and encouragement to others is successful. However, as more of my children become school-aged, my role as a teacher has become even more demanding.<br /><br />I prayed and prayed and I believe God has called me to put my energy into being the best dad and husband I can be, being the best teacher I can be, and to work on living a less stressful and more healthy life. I also knew DTG deserved better and the clear choice was to let DTG go.<br /><br />BUT, HERE IS THE EXCITING NEWS. I had a few people in mind who I thought could/would do a great job of running DTG, but the more I prayed, one name came to me over and over and I truly believed God had him in mind already - Bubba Dowling of GodsStrongMan.com. I casually mentioned to him in conversation what I was going through and that I was thinking of giving up DTG and he paused for a bit before telling me that the spirit was moving in him right then and there. Long story short, we were both sure of God's will in this situation and that is truly EXCITING and a cause for JOY.<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">Bubba Dowling has been married to his wife, Heather for over 15 years. They have 6 children, Anna, Nathan, Luke, Esther, Miriam and Johanna. They have been in full time ministry now for over 5 years.<br />Bubba has had the opportunity to travel all over the United States and to 8 countries with two strongman evangelistic teams, sharing his story of transformation and healing while sharing the love of Jesus. While traveling he has witnessed 10s of thousands of people make public commitments to Jesus Christ.<br />Bubba holds state and regional Powerlifting Records in various federations, and American/ National records in the AAU and USPA and World Records in the AAU. Bubba is ranked in the top 50 in Squat, Bench, Deadlift and Total according to PowerliftingWatch.com.<br />I am so excited about this transition with DTG. I look forward to serving DTG customers past and to the ones of the future. Building upon the strong foundation that Chad White started. With the keeping of the original DTG designs, now going to be called the “LEGACY LINE” and also throwing in some new designs, A “ Gen. 2”, line is now being developed. </span><br />Finally, I want to thank you all for your support over the past few years. There were numerous times when I received more support from you guys than I could every possibly give back. Thank you for buying the gear, sending me photos from meets, and all the uplifting emails and calls. It was a joy when individuals shared with me how someone asking about their shirt presented an opportunity for personal witnessing. <br /><br />It has been an honor and may God bless you all!</span><br />

TWO-20 MOVEMENT</h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Basically here is the Two 20 Movement in a Nutshell.... Our ministry ( OUR FAMILY THE DOWLING's) are looking for TWO- Hundred @ $20.00 a month TEAM MEMBERS to start out 2013 and GO BEYOND. </div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
WHY the TWO-20 Movement?</h2>
It will open up the doors to MORE ministry in locations, venues in both urban and rural that could not afford the expense that it takes to have me come in for a Strongman Evangelistic Outreach and share my testimony and the GOSPEL.<br />
<br />
In 2012, I had opportunities in 20+ cities and Churches that needed and wanted the Gospel to be preached and desired for me to come in. The funds were not available to them and I was not in a place where I had the extra $money$ to use myself to do the events or I would have. I still have to think of My family as well as they are my first calling in ministry.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
THE TWO-20 CHALLENGE </h3>
We have partnered with Impact Ministries International and are helping feed, clothe, and house over 7000 orphans. Check them out at <a href="http://www.tstamman.com/" target="_blank">IMPACT MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL</a>.<br />
<br />
So here is the challenge, if.. I mean WHEN the TWO-20 Movement is fulfilled and I am asked to come in for a strongman event I will only ask for an offering and whatever comes in, 100% of it will be sent directly to feed clothe and house the orphans with IMI. I don't care if it's 5 dollars or 500 dollars it will go directly to helping out those kids. <a href="http://www.tstamman.com/sponsor%20a%20child.html" target="_blank">CLICK HERE TO SEE SOME OF THE KIDS WE ARE HELPING</a><br />

We are doing well, but wanted to share another amazing story of God's hand on our family! Here's the story:</span></span><br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> We had one of our baby-sitters at our home by 7:30 AM Thursday so Bubba and I could make it to an ultrasound for the new baby. We had a wonderful experience at the appointment, seeing many sweet details of Johannah Grace: sweet tiny feet, perfect lips, sweet tip of her nose, and many movements of tiny, slender fingers.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> We were heading home to relieve our sitter about 9:15. We stopped to get gas, when I realized being pregnant that I was in dire need of a egg and cheese biscuit and a chocolate doughnut! I grabbed each of those very sweet items in the station and we were off again.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> We exited the gas station, turning east and stopped at the signal. I was looking down texting our sitter to let her know we were almost home when the light turned green and we were off. SUDDENLY, Bubba looked out my window and yelled, "OH MY GOSH.....". Then I heard BOOOOOM, felt my arm hit the door and heard tires screeching.</span></div>
<div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> An elderly women, approximately 80 years old, had run a red light and T-Boned our car on my side. She was traveling around 40 mph at the point of impact. By God's divine hand, she hit our car directly between the drivers and riders doors on the brace. If she would have hit my door directly, things would have been much different!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Bub was injured on his right side, we are assuming from the console between the seats. He was checked out at the ER after much encouragement! :) He did not want to!! I was transported by ambulance because of neck pain and being pregnant.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> They monitored the baby and me over night to be sure all was well. The baby is doing well and my body is quit tired but otherwise feeling ok. I am to take it very easy the next week to be sure I don't go into labor.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I don't have time to go into all the details of of ALL the ways the Lord manifested his grace in this situation. But I will say that Bubba and I are amazed at how The Lord's has been all over us, our family, our friends, the Dr.s the nurses, even the accident scene.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> We now have a rental car, via the Misses insurance. We are 90% sure our car will be totaled, so we are looking/praying for what the Lord has next for us in the vehicle realm.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> So thankful that the Lord saved us all. The reality is beginning to hit me, of what really happened and how many angels were working in that wreck that day!</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thank you Jesus....we love you!</span></div>

I was not prepared well enough for this meet, had too high of expectations with too many variables and ended up not even getting a lift in.<br />
<br />
I opened up with 727 missed it then I missed two attempts with 755.... and that disqualified me for the meet.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
However was able to rest and see a bit of what Wyoming had to offer and more of the BEAUTY of GOD's CREATION. Wild horses, antelope and even found a few animal skeletons along the way.<br />

I always say during my speeches, talks and presentations that I learn best from failing. Even though I do HATE to fail, God always allows me to gain knowledge and wisdom from my mistakes......<br />
<br />
Lesson this time?? I need to bloom where GOD planted me and stay where he leads me and not to chase the $$MONEY$$ because he is the one that provides for me!!<br />

Both with the USPA. This is a huge honor for him.<br />
<br />
The first one will be August 3rd, 2012 in Rock Springs, WY at the " BADDEST BENCH AT THE BIG SHOW". ONLY 20 LIFTERS HAVE BEEN INVITED!!!! BUBBA is 1 of those lifters!!!! <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;">WHICH WILL BE BROADCAST LIVE by <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; line-height: 17px;">XPTV in approximately 160+million homes throughout North America, Japan, Korea, and Viet Nam, via Fox Sports Network, Comcast, and Tuff TV</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; line-height: 17px;">TV </span></span><br />
<br />
The Second will be September 27th-29th 2012 at THE " MR. OLYMPIA" contest held in LAS VEGAS.<br />
<br />
Like I said before these are INVITE only and a huge opportunity for BUBBA to expand the platform from which he is able to Share his story, encourage and challenge Fathers and preach the GOSPEL......<br />
<br />
But BUBBA needs your help. He wants to compete but does not want to take away money from his family's monthly needs to compete.<br />
<br />
He needs approximately 4-5 thousand dollars to cover the costs of both meets.<br />
1. Entry Fees<br />
2. Travel to and from both meets for 2 people- Bubba tries to never Travel alone.<br />
3. Hotels and Rental Cars<br />
3. Food- While traveling and added expense due to training<br />
4.Training- Travel/ supplements/ equipment<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is a Clip of BUBBA's Latest Bench Workout....<br />

I can't remember the last time we were completely alone for 48 hours. At the very least 3 years, and I'm thinking more like 14!<br />

This is a photo of our last date, as I recall. About a year ago <br />
<br />
ANYWAY....Bubba ministered to the boys and I ministered to the girls, 6th through 12th grades. Bubba was able to call the boys out to be the warriors God's calling them to be while I brought hope to the girls about guarding their hearts for Jesus. Bubba gave an alter call and 18 boys responded! I gave my first alter call EVER and 6 girls accepted the Lord as Savior! (I've always shared one-on-one in the past) So, if my math is correct that is <span style="font-size: large;">24 </span><span style="font-size: small;">new brothers and sisters in Christ! Good news, good news people!</span><br />
<br />
We are very busy booking shows and outreaches right now. The summer still has plenty of room for more travel, ie. summer bible camps, Men's retreats, Ladie's night out events. Basically, anyone that needs to hear a word from the Lord or some encouragement, is who we are looking for!<br />

It was an intense two and a half days of true worship to the Lord and impartation of such wisdom. I am changed forever!<br />
I wanted to share a highlight or two from each speaker. So, here goes:<br />
<br />
<b>Raising up Deliverers:</b><br />
<u>Corey Russell</u>-We can't deliver people in our power only HIS<br />
In Exodus 2:11 Moses was awakened to his calling and God shuts it down in verse 14<br />
(One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. Glancing this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. The next day he went The man said, "Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?" Then Moses was afraid and thought, "What I did must have become known.")<br />
Moses was sent into the wilderness to be delivered of his own stuff first. Then, when he KNEW he was NOTHING, Moses was visited in the burning bush!<br />
<br />
<u>Lou Engle</u>-Intercession/Prayer/Intercession/Prayer<br />
There is one specific quote I want to share from Lou: "Pay attention to your tears, they will lead you to your destiny."<br />
<br />
<b>Christ Centered Abolition:</b><br />
<u>Stuart Greaves</u>-<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> Isaiah 42:1</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><i> </i></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.</i> KJV </span>Behold my Servant......His heart will be found or caught in the beholding of Jesus.<br />
God's love after the rescue. His gentleness and kindness: Is 42:3<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><i> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. KJV</span></i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">A bruised reed will he not break, and a dimly burning wick will he not quench: he will bring forth justice in truth. AVS</span></i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i> </i>Isaiah 42:4 </span><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">He will not fail </span></i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">n</span></i></span></u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><u>or be discouraged</u>, till he have set justice in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his law.</span></i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i> </i></span>"We must have the revelation of who Jesus is! We must know what he is doing. Become the message not just have a message."<br />
"God sent an 80 year old Hebrew with a stick" to deliver the Israelites.<br />
<br />
<u>Kirk Bennett</u>-"Justice is setting people free to encounter God." <br />
"Justice is not a principal, it's a man!"<br />
"Let my people go so they may worship me." We usually stop after GO. But we are to be free to worship the Lord.<br />
<br />
<u>Don Brewster</u>- Don has a ministry in Korea and was in the documentary. He shared stories of "his girls" courage and how we have been given many good gifts and the Lord expects us to put them into action, ie. Jesus, Holy Spirit, faith, hope, love, each other.<br />
<br />
<b>Practical Appication:</b><br />
<u>Kezia Hatfield</u>-"Restoration is truly the rebuilding of a person."<br />
1. Understanding Trauma<br />
2. Power of the cross<br />
Understanding that Jesus truly did endure what these women and children have endured gives even more power to the cross. In the gospels we see exactly what Jesus endured. He was sold, betrayed, criminalized, hit, bound, abandoned, falsely accused, mocked, dehumanized, suffered because of man's will, stripped naked, family gave him up, had others shame on him, foreign objects in his body (nails/spear), wasn't believed, given false names, cursed, finally separated from the Father.<br />
3. Necessities of the process of restoration<br />
1 Cor 13 has to be walked out. Joy is the strength in the process. We bond through joy!<br />
"We all need to know we are the sparkle of someone's eye."<br />
<br />
<u>Blaire Pilkington</u>-Intervention<br />
James 1:27 Building bridges to the girls<br />
They have to make a choice to be rescued. Rescue isn't a one time event, it's a process.<br />
<br />
<u>Benjamin Nolot</u>-"God's mostly rescuing people from hell."<br />
The work of the cross: deliverance, salvation, restoration!<br />
TRUE freedom comes from ENCOUNTERING God!<br />
Let my people go so they may worship me. 7 times in these passages. "SO THEY MAY WORSHIP ME"<br />
<b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The truth is this is a spiritual problem at it's root.</span></u></b><br />
