As many of you know, during March 20-22, I had the opportunity to go to the First Nations Conference in Federal Way, Washington with Karmen and June Blake. They had invited me to speak with them at one on the conference breakout sessions concerning their ministry, "Good Healing Voice." As always, it is great to minster with Karmen and June, but this was even more special getting to meet some of the special people that where at the conference.
I was blessed by the spirit of the people there. In addition, there were great speakers throughout the conference that gave powerful messages that were truly anointed. I also had the pleasure of meeting some vital ministries to Native Americans.
One of these ministries hit a passion of mine as it addressed the issues of teen addictions and teen suicide. The ministry is called CLAW Inc. and it is ran by two awesome men of God, LaMeonica "Bry" Claw and his brother Lyle Claw. Both men have powerful testimonies and I encourage you to look up their website at http://www.clawinc.org/. I greatly value both of these men as brothers and I value their awesome spirit of ministry in this vital area.
I also had the opportunity to see one of my great friends from my Multnomah Bible College days, Jeff Shane. Jeff is a wonderful man with a loving spirit. I must admit that the only surprise I had was when he told me his age...has it really been that long? And even if all my Multnomah brothers and sisters are in their late twenties and thirties (and older!) I certainly haven't gotten older (I address denial someday!). In all seriousness, it was great to see Jeff.
Because I am still learning to deal with pictures and the whole blogging thing, I do a picture blog right after this one. Enjoy the sights.
It was a great time of powerful messages, great fellowship, wonderful worship, and the Spirit of God was strong with all of us. I thank Karmen and June, as well as Jeff Yellow Owl, District Supervisor, and all the wonderful new friends I have met. I pray that God continues to bless them and all their vital ministries.
In His Grace,
Mark
