Hello Reader, Friend, Family,
I would like to let you know the fund raising went GREAT at the Whole Enchilada. I have pics that I will put up soon, hopefully. I am encouraged and grateful for all those who came out to party with me and enjoy a good night.
As for my job at the Whole Enchilada, this maybe my last week working for the restaurant. I will be able to focus on art and fund raising more then... well now.
I am working on art still. The t-shirts are taking longer then I hoped but soon God willing I will fully get them done.
This thursday is another fund raising same time same place and I will maybe be there again.
Thank you all.
Love you all in 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.

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.

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
