I had major doubts a couple days ago about going to Hope International University and taking the online courses from home. I came back to the states to get training and application of the theory, to be taught the practical and apply it. I called the University and tried to talk to an admissions counselor but she wasn’t there. When I went to give my phone number and name the person on the other line recognized the name and we realized that we are friends! I asked if Hope is like any other Bible College and if they teach the application of the practical or if it’s more theory (like the history of Jesus and His ministry and the history of Christianity). She confirmed my doubts and uneasiness and after a couple hours of processing, praying, and talking to the people closest to me I came to the realization that while I have been away I have been listening to pod casts from Bethel Church in Redding California. They have a School of Supernatural Ministry and I was coming back to the states seeking out training like theirs and now realize that I found something different.


In the past 48 hours God has taken my life and flipped it upside down. My application with Hope University was not working out. I was facing problems online with the Internet all of a sudden freezing when I was trying to submit my application. I see it now as God guiding me, giving me the compass and heading and now he’s guiding me through my journey.


Yesterday I submitted an application to Bethel’s School of Supernatural Ministry in Redding, California. Redding is North of San Francisco and is about 100,000 people strong. One of our good friends of the family use to tell us that in order to find a college you needed to first find a church that will spiritually mature you and that you will grow in. From there find the college close to it. My spiritual growth is the most important growth to me. I have been listening to Bethel’s pod casts online for the past 6 months and the church has impacted me in a way I cannot describe.


I am a late applicant however and the school is extremely small (only a couple hundred students for each year). Right now I have done everything I can do and it is in God’s hand.


When I returned back to Las Vegas I was excited to be able to have the chance to get training and also live at home with my family. But now I realize that it is impossible to get the training I left the boat for here in Las Vegas. If accepted I would leave Las Vegas (again, I know) and move to Redding, California.


For those that have not known me long this is usually how God works in my life. A compass and a heading and things like change in schools usually come together at the last minute. It’s just who I am and it is embedded in my DNA.


God is good and works through you.
