Canada I'm coming.......

Christmas has come and gone.....woh! What a whirlwind this past week has been; arriving back to California from Nashville, running around to say my hellos & goodbyes, racing up to be with family for the Holidays and now my attention is on final preparations for my next season. I realize I don't think I'm prepared, but then how can one ever be fully prepared for the unknown. Particularly when I've made the choice to walk in Faith, only going where my Father in heaven leads me. What lies ahead for me is yet another great unknown experience, but one I am confident is my next step into the next journey of my life.

As I enter this new season learning how to raise up dancers to be warriors for the Kingdom of God with Heather Clark, I believe the Lord is going to broaden my kingdom connections. This will only lead me further into my ministry as a missionary to the church. God is on the move looking for churches that will live out the kingdom of God bearing FRUIT. My mission is to be one who strategically plans & equips the saints to become truly effective and productive for the Kingdom of God. If you desire to see the church effectively fruitful resulting in the transformation of communities, than I present to you the opportunity to make an investment in me; an investment into our future churches.

To all who have supported me in this time of preparation, I want to thank you for sowing into the kingdom of God and the harvest to come. I am still working towards my goal of $5,500 for my time in Canada for the next 6 months. For those who would like to partner with me I would be greatly honored.

May the Joy & Peace of God increase in your life over this new year 2011.

Blessings,

Jennie Bryant

...Transition time......What's in store next

As my time is ending here in Nashville Tennessee, the Lord is leading me to another great opportunity and Kingdom connection. I have the opportunity to go and work alongside Heather Clark, a Worship Leader and Dancer. She does ministry around the world; both worship leading and running a dance production. She is starting a dance production in her home town where I will have the privilege of working right alongside her – choreographing, teaching, assisting administratively, etc. As I’ve considered this opportunity, I’ve often thought, “Wow, someone I’ve looked so highly upon from a distance is looking forward to having me come and work alongside her as well as live with her.” What an honor, privilege, and growing and learning opportunity this will be; particularly watching how she manages a family w/ 4 kids and full time ministry. My time working alongside her will be Jan 5th- end of June in Kamloops, BC, Canada. I feel this is a kingdom connection that is another vital piece to my puzzle; keeping me aligned and in step with my assignment for the Lord and the advancement of His Kingdom. I plan to be back in California around Dec.17th and head out to Canada around January 1st. There will be a gathering to visit, catch up and here more details of what the Lord is doing in my life - TBA. I’m looking to raise $5,500 to cover all expenses for the next 6 months. If you would like to be a monthly supporter or make a one-time donation, please make payments to Safe Harbor Church.

Your prayers, support & friendship is greatly appreciated and I am honored to have all of you in my life.

Blessings to you,

Jennie Bryant

The End is almost here......

I kicked off my Thanksgiving break with a 9 hr. drive to Pittsburgh, PA. It was cold but so beautiful there. I enjoyed lots of well needed Rest, GOOD food, a loving welcoming family, saw it snow, celebrated a baby shower and just plain good times...thank you Jade & Ben Bower for being such great friends & hosts!!

Wednesday we had the opportunity to go to Grammy winning recording artist Ricky Skaggs studio. Wow...wow...wow it was so huge, a sound board with 56 channels, such beautiful wood work everywhere, artists signings and pictures galore and instruments all over the place. I was able to play the piano (signed by John Lennon) and our group participated in a afternoon recorded spontaneous worship jam session. What an honor an privilege to meet and hang with such a well known artist who's heart is so for the Lord and redeeming music for the kingdom of God, taking the light to the darkness. He and his wife with his Father in law Buck White did a concert for us the Tuesday night prior to thanksgiving...that was a treat and per my friends request Ricky played his mandolin - he's the best!
A few more highlights from this weeks speakers - Phil Keaggy came to our school....One of the best guitar players known. I met & spoke with him after his amazing & hilarious jam session, & he lived in Costa Mesa and attended Newport Mesa Church 20 yrs. back (for all you so cal people). I also met Heather Mercer a missionary to Afghanistan who shared her story of being held prisoner by the Taliban in 2001 for preaching the Gospel- what an amazing woman and powerhouse for God. Any one interested in working with muslims look up http://www.freedomcenteriraq.org/ .

With one week left and two conferences (we're hosting)quickly approaching, I'm trying to embrace the next week soaking up all I can. My time here has filled me with gold nuggets essential for life. Refined and REFINED me, an essential process for what the Lord has in store. Established Kindgom connections, giving me experiences in new levels and different perspectives, all adding to the value of my being for the advancement of the Kingdom of God. I must admit it wasn't easy....but ALL worth it! Glory to God for the good work He has begun in me and will be faithful to complete it as I remain surrendered, willing and faithfully obedient to Him. For those who have supported me in prayer and finances blessings, blessings, blessings to you!!! I honor you for investing in the Kingdom of God.
