Hello Reader-family-friend.
I have been feeling my heart become more comfortable with finding traveling as my home. I am ready to see what is beyond Los Angelas, California. I have learned that there are many issues in the world that need help in being addressed. I can not do it alone and plan not too! I need the Body of Christ to be with me on serving the wounded.
“I saw the messiness of the church politics and egotism...So I became quite disenchanted with the church, though I was still fascinated with Jesus”.- Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne
Shane Claiborne is a person I look up to. Hopefully will one day have the pleasures to live in a community with. I understand his view of the church and quite agree with him because of the Spirit leading my own thoughts about how some in the church and I myself could/should live.
I ask my self everyday "God, Where are you?" most times it is out of desperation and I really can not see him nor differentiate the church from the world which brings some heart ache and hopelessness to my soul. I do not know if YWAM will be a part of full filling this gray void or growing it in me. God, I ask not.
All I know,
God is real, Jesus has died for our miss aimed shots to the bulls eye, the holy spirit is teaching us how to turn ourselves and encourage others to turn around into the arms of Jesus.
I do indeed care for people which is why I would like to see more glimpses of people doing it. I love the communities around me so I do critic them because we can not become stagnate. I know I maybe harsh for the first few weeks of the YWAM program. Not harsh to the people, people do not bother me, its the crap they feed to others that bothers me. We want the truth
I am feisty. This prophetic guy told me I am a lil ball of fire, a feisty one under neath the quiet shy guy. Yep the more life goes the more I realize-I am feisty.
I am looking forward to YWAM. God is going to do some awesome things for his people. God will lead us. God is true to his words and will not hold out on his son's and daughter's. Jesus has gone before the Father in heaven and made our wrongs just. Setting all things right before God and allowing us to take part in his Kingdom by the Holy Spirit. We are honored to be human being because we get to live with God, the Father. Praise God.
Good night Peeps, sorry if the theology or my ideas are incorrect.

The New Year is coming!!!!
Hello Reader-family-friend,
SO Christmas is done and this years ending is following. With money that has been given to me as a gift for christmas I have gotten a few good items for BOSTON. I bought a hicking pack that carries a sleeping bag and camelpak. The hicking pack is a REI bag so I am sure it shall last for a long time. I bought a camelpak which is a pak that I fill with water and store in my bag or carry alone. I bought clothes that are going to be much needed for warmth. I believe I am good on clothes now....so yeah that is all for Boston stuff. Still going to grab a few things but those last items can waite.
I am presently making a few pieces of art for a going away gallery in january. Yep, I am ready to leave to whatever God is going to do. I am reading a lot of books to help my mind just stay in the present. I have many thoughts and dreams about Boston and what I would like to do and see be done outside and inside of the team.
Crazy, I am going to meet people outside these borders and live with them. Learn about connecting with cultures and adopting their ways of life. God has been telling me about the stories that he wants me to bring to these cultures and communities. I am looking forward and I am sure all of this will change once I arrive because I really dont know what to expect.
Just to remind those of you who are still intrested in donating. Donations will be accepted until the end of july. Please, if God is asking you to donate, do it.
It is funny how I am in this position of need and now when God tells me to do somethings for another I am able to do it because I understand the mentallity and emotion of need. At least a shallow understanding...
Well peeps, have a good time. Love God through thick and thin. Bye
let me know if you have any questions.

THE GOAL IS NOT TO BE IN YWAM BUT OBEDIENT TO GOD.
Hello Reader-Friends-Family
I have reached 1,000 dollars!!!! Through donations, selling T-shirts, and my last check from working at the whole enchilada. I have not received any check from The Whole Enchilada fund raising so it is still a mystery to how much was made at the three events.
I am glad to reach 1,000, still have more to go but I am not afraid. Recently I called YWAM and asked them what happens when I do not reach the goal price their response is "God provides". I am going to just take it with as little thought of complaint as possible.
With or with out the money I am leaving to Boston. I will show up with what I have and ask Him what next after the first day in Boston....he may ask for me to go back home this is as far as i am going in YWAM. I am just remembering that God works correctly, not like us.
THE GOAL IS NOT TO BE IN YWAM BUT TO BE OBEDIENT TO GOD.
A wild beast being brought to sanity by following the only Humanbeing, Christ.

Things are moving and I am.....
Hello Family-Friends-Reader.
I am moving a long in fund raising. I am working on a tone of new art to sell for fund raising. This Thursday is a fund raiser at the Whole enchilada all day, please go.
Art is moving along. School is over and I am hanging out with Jesus and look forward to hanging out with his people.
I have been praying and asking for Gods help, things haven't been the same recently. I have come to a realization that I am fighting and living for a Kingdom not always seen nor easy to understand. I keep thinking should I maybe drop this YWAM and retreat back to school to make a living before I travel. I think about this but then I realize God is bigger then school and all this junk that America may say is important. I am learning to see the system but not be apart of the system; rather be of Gods Kingdom. I am empty of so many modern material and left to identify with the least of Brethren. I do not know what Jesus did to be sufficient in the younger days of the world. He is the only human and the only human that was able to not mistake Gods words and leading. Jesus must have gone through so many insicurities of not being with the "in" crowd but rather turning heads to the bigger picture. Through setting focus to the bigger picture many grim secrets were exposed so we can live in the Almighty presence...but i know many were and still many are pissed when God exposes them.
Anyways...
Jesus is awesome and we are invited to party with him. Through all the difficult speeches of preachers and modern day pharisees-Jesus encouraged us to love God with our everything and love each other. If we love God through thick and thin then we can love eachother through thick and thin.
Keep loving till the end.
Peace out. Thank you for reading.

HECK-tic.
Hello Reader-Family-Friend
Things have been difficult, short of time and not going as planned but that is OK. My mind hasn’t had a breathe of air for a while as things are becoming over whelming. Through all this, Christ is tough! Jesus keeps saying to me "You expected this to be easy, to be cheap like a youth group, like sunday morning church. Well let’s change that perspective."
It is totally changing and that is fine. To lose myself in Christ truly sounds like breathing. I dislike myself a lot and others too, with Christ who is perfect in actions, emotions, mentality of love, I hope to learn an ounce of that love He has for us. Hope fully more then an ounce but with a thick head like mine IDK.
As for YWAM fund raising-this sunday @ the Whole Enchilada is a fund raising event all day. Show up any time, tell your server that you are there for Jordan's Fund raising. 20% goes to Jordan’s YWAM journey so the more people the bigger donation to me.
If your do not wish to go to The Whole Enchilada but would like to donate something (notice i wrote something) then email me so we may be in touch about how you can participate in helping me in little or big ways.
Checks are addressed to me Jordan Esquivel. If you need my address email me or email me for my number and you can call me too.
Little or big ways you can help. Well I need a good sleeping bag that would be able to keep me warm in snow, a hiking bag that can hold a sleeping bag on it as well a tone of good pockets to place important items. Socks, thick and thin socks, hiking boots, pants, and gloves.
There are many ways to help.
Well thank you for reading. May God lead you on your journey and if I could help you in anything too, please ask.
The body of Christ is not individualistic nor has any denominations we are all family with Christ.

Plane tick and Art life
Hello Reader-Friend-Family,
First off I would encourage you to check out this guys blogspot, many of you may not know him. Shoot I dont even know him!? His blog tho is encouraging, fun, and shows confidence in his call from God. God is using him in SAfrica so check it out with whatever moves you to do so.
http://jeffreydjohnson.blogspot.com/
I am growing in my artist walk, the Spirit has been talking to me about what I should begin working on in theme for pieces. I keep getting images that tug at my heart to bring forth to a canvas. Acrylic Paint is one of my art mediums that I am able to work well with and acrylic shall be a great medium for the pieces I keep seeing but the medium may change if a person directs me in a medium more fitting to these pieces.
I would like to write about two family friends that have been pushing my art to new limits.
Emanuel aka E, is a artist who has been helping me grow in my artist life with the visual arts.
E is teaching me how to make canvas by hand, the process is a sweat and precise in where and how to cut the wood. My goal is to become proficient in making canvas that artist would come to me in person and pay me to make their canvas.
I am also learning from E Screening which is a lot of work. He hasnt tought me hands on how to screen yet but he has been talking me through the process which is a good step. The goal with screening will be to begin making t-shirts for fundraising for YWAM as well making a living. E and I have been talking so long about designing t-shirts and here we are in steps to do so for the Kingdom.
In making shirts I plan on working with another Artist, Seth. I have been told his talent is sufficient in spray painting shirts. I like the raw look of spray paint on a shirt so this excites me.
Seth is a film artist, he has been teaching me thee art of film....haha that is a funny sentence and i am leaving it... Seth has been showing me how to develope story lines, story boards, the arch of a story that is needed to make a rememberable film. He began teaching me how to edit film, put songs or over lay sound on a scene. Seth lent me a camera that i can exchange the lens to wide lens, to a regular lens. The camera can increase or decrease in light, depth, and focuse of an object or image that I would like to capture. The best part is it is not digital and the sad part is I still need to get the film developed....
E and Seth's education has been a double H. Helpfull and Hurtfull-they push me in develpoment in thought, imagery, story lines, and a lot of physical work in concentration of what I am doing. I am getting a head-ache in thinking about but it is a discipline that God willing will use to benefit the Kingdom.
I have been learning how to dance as well and that is going amazing. Modern dance is a lot of fun and there is so much that the human body can do in movement. Martha Gram is one lady who was involved in developing modern dance, she has some meaningful creative dances. For YWAM dance is my second choice in area of art form that I would like to use, so i maybe preforming or something in YWAM.
Well I think we are both good on updates. Have a good time, thank you for reading. This post is a long one but good.
Peace out

Currently as for me, I am searching for plane tickets to Boston. I have found planes that depart at 7:30 and arrive to Boston at 3:30pm. I need to be at the YWAM base by 4 O'clock and that is not going to happen if I am arriving at 3:30 pm. I maybe leaving Jan 13th rather then the 14th, if I leave Jan 13th then it is no big deal because I can sleep at airport and be homless for a night. This plan sounds better to me!!! Seriously, I have always wanted to be homless. : )
This plan is still in process for those of you concerned.

Things Begin To Flow Together.
Hello Reader-Family-Friend,
Today was quite a full day, TB results add up to CLEAR, Fundraising letters are out into family friends hands, I got to talk and laugh really hard with all the people I have know for a few years now. I am presently house sitting at my old boss'es house which include feeding dogs, fish, turtels, hamsters, cats and sometimes kids (when i am baby-sitting).
Ok about children! For the parents whom do not have time to go shopping without your lil-ones, I will be baby-sitting for donations that will go to YWAM.
December 6th from 3-8pm and/or December 7th from 12-5pm, I will be willing to hang out and feed your Children.
The place will be my house.
We will watch G and PG rated movies only, food that will be healthy,
If this date is not fitting your schedual, let me know so we can look out for another date.
I will be looking for someone else to help me out. Whom is trust worthy and I have seen interact with children well.
The second part to this or if you have not children but dislike wrapping presents, I will be wrapping present for donations too. This is all through out December so please let me know.
If I will be wrapping presents I will need
1. Name for whom the present is going to.
2. From who.
3. Wrapping paper.
4. Bows.
I believe that will be all for that. If any changes, I will be posting it asap.
10 more weeks till I leave to YWAM BOSTON.
That is just dandy!!! I am really excited and my heart over whelms with gratitude for everyone that I know today. Well I was passing out the letters today, I realized how poor most people I know are but how great we are when we work together. I am greatful for my family in Christ whom is perfect in weakness and in the Spirit's strength alone.
I encourage you to be lead into the world and be the church on the streets. May God lead you onto a journey that will cost you and I to surrender more of ourselves to our King. Being Christ's is radical and never gets old.
I am supper tired, GOOD NIGHT PEEPS!!!

The Application
Hello Reader - Family - Friends,
First fund raising opportunities
I have dates for fund raising at The Whole Enchilada. Basically you go eat at the Whole Enchilada and hand them a ticket with my fund raising ticket so that 15% goes to my YWAM funds. Yes, I work at The Whole Enchilada and I recently told them about this oppertunity that has open to me and that I am taking it. They were very kind and offered me three events for fund raising, they are good to me.

Azusa, CA
I will most likely be there all day and night to hand out fund tickets. It would be great if you treat or bring homeless peeps, family, friends. Please go eat, it would be great to see you there. (if any changes i will let you know)
O.K. now for some information about the application and the YWAM trip.
I will be leaving most likely January 14th, 2009 early in the morning or January 13th late night.
I have to be at the YWAM station in Boston by 4 pm and begin to chat with my new core groupies. The school will be held for 7 months, the school will end on July 29, 2009. On the arrival day I will have to walk into YWAM with money to pay for lecture fees and a put down for out reach fees.
I will have art classes every day to improve and get ready for YWAM events. I will have bible/life classes that are followed with assignments. At the end of the YWAM session I will be a part of an event called Joshua Generation, that will put what I have been tought to the test as I teach and work with other teens/young adults in the ministry field.
The first few days are orientation, team building exercises, and guidelines/information about the school in the student manual.
Thats all I know so far.
My Focus Presently.
God lead me to praying and fasting at moments through out the weeks that lead to YWAM, so if i turn you down on food dont be offended (most likely I will go to keep you company). I am praying for the other applicants in fund raising because it is hard to raise money at this time for many people. I am also praying about insecurities that I would like to surrender to Jesus so that they will not get in our way of living together.
I am getting ready for DTS by reading books about Jesus and art. People are talking to me about improving my art skills in drawing, painting, video tech., and danceing. I am supper stoke to have these people in my life and learn from them about ART and walking life with God. (thank you friends)
Pray for me in how ever the spirit leads you to do so. I am greatful to have you Brothers and Sisters, you help me out a lot.
Well I hope this is enought information for you for this time. More updates soon
Peace out,
Jordan

I will be leaving most likely January 14th, 2009 early in the morning or January 13th late night.
I have to be at the YWAM station in Boston by 4 pm and begin to chat with my new core groupies. The school will be held for 7 months, the school will end on July 29, 2009. On the arrival day I will have to walk into YWAM with money to pay for lecture fees and a put down for out reach fees.
I will have art classes every day to improve and get ready for YWAM events. I will have bible/life classes that are followed with assignments. At the end of the YWAM session I will be a part of an event called Joshua Generation, that will put what I have been tought to the test as I teach and work with other teens/young adults in the ministry field.
The first few days are orientation, team building exercises, and guidelines/information about the school in the student manual.
Thats all I know so far.
My Focus Presently.
God lead me to praying and fasting at moments through out the weeks that lead to YWAM, so if i turn you down on food dont be offended (most likely I will go to keep you company). I am praying for the other applicants in fund raising because it is hard to raise money at this time for many people. I am also praying about insecurities that I would like to surrender to Jesus so that they will not get in our way of living together.
I am getting ready for DTS by reading books about Jesus and art. People are talking to me about improving my art skills in drawing, painting, video tech., and danceing. I am supper stoke to have these people in my life and learn from them about ART and walking life with God. (thank you friends)
Pray for me in how ever the spirit leads you to do so. I am greatful to have you Brothers and Sisters, you help me out a lot.
Well I hope this is enought information for you for this time. More updates soon
Peace out,
Jordan

The Beginning to the Present
Hello Reader, whom maybe Family or Family-Friend.
This is the first post of many to come about my YWAM journey. Before I enter the present let me write about the beginning of this process.
Summer 2007, a couple at the Glendora Vineyard spoke to me about YWAM and encouraged me to get on the road of YWAM. I did not go because college was something I wanted to try out and work on for a while. I completed my first year of college at MT. Sac but then YWAM crept back into my head. With these thoughts about YWAM I decided to apply to a YWAM station in Boston.
July 27, 2008 I put in my application to YWAM Boston. I had about three weeks to get the application in and it was a fast productive beginning. In August I called many time asking about when I will know the resulats of my acceptance, by the end of August finally a lady told me "Two weeks in to September we will be sending out acceptance packets". I accepted the notice and laied back for two weeks.
The end of the second week in September, I began to doubt my self in being accepted. I put to rest the idea of YWAM, thought maybe not this time but later in the future. I began plans for this year, heading out to Pasadena to live and help with the Oasis church. Do a tone more of art to sell and work my bottom off at college again. It was an exciting plan.
Second week of October, I am tired of thinking about YWAM's acceptance but I called YWAM to ask once again about the application. No pick up.
Then tuesday October 21st, I get a call from the lady at Boston. She tells me, I was accepted and sent a packet about the things to get prepared three weeks ago. We talked and hung up. She sent another packet and NOW I AM ACCEPTED TO BOSTON YWAM.
Present day I am seeking Jesus and asking for a lot of his help in fundraising. Its good and exciting but it will be a process that is in speed mode because January 13th will be when i leave.
I will write more detail about the application and YWAM Boston later this week. I wanted something up for you to read about my Journey so far.
Thank you for reading, hope you have a great day. BYE
