Rhythm Leadership Development

This new year has been an exiting yet mysterious one. Going on 26 years young I now more than ever want to get a promising career that I know that I can support a family that I don't have and pay a mortgage on a house that I dream of (that I don't have). This has always been a struggle for me after all we do live in a materialistic looney town called America.

There is more to life than just living. I have to believe this because my God on earth lived for much more that the newest ipod or latest tv show. Not to say that I don't love to vegg out or win american idol in my car. Our God is Big and I want to live big.

So now God has placed me in the business of raising up men and women to be and do what God has created them to do. To lead a generation into an internal and fulfilled life of oneness with the Big man up stairs. We are stoked (exited) to see what God will do with us. Who is us? It's RYTHM LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT consisted of right now 9 (including myself and Darline Rodriguez who are directing the program) men and women who want to live for more than them selves. The name "Rhythm" is from the idea of "Abide in Jesus and it's all good" We are to be in tuned with the heart beat of God then go. Its a 8 month program with a year of opportunity in 2011 where we will be launching teams out into all the earth. There will be more coming, much much more so please stay tuned to what God is going to do.

JESUS SAID WHAT?

Following God is no lame excuse for a trend or an experience, there is something that grows so much deeper than what our eyes and ears can sense.  When Jesus broadcasts that we as Christians are to "count the cost" and to "loose our lives so we may find real life" I am finding out that He means it and those words have moved many men and women to do the unthinkable for the sake of what really matters...  Jesus Glorified.  

This year God has put in front of me an opportunity to continue to find out what those words really mean.  I will be co-leading a team to the nation of India for 5 months to expose and unite the Father Heart of God with the hearts of the Indian people.  If what's written in the Bible is true about Jesus coming back to take His church (which by the way is) then those who don't believe will be separated from God for eternity.  Our goal is just as God Himself goal that none perish but that all come to the saving knowledge of Him.  I pray and hope for you to partner along side of what God is doing in India and together we can take this world for Jesus.

We are here in Costa Rica! After a loop and a spin God has specificly placed our team in a little town called Villareal. We have come alongside Phil and Rebecca Mckay, a couple from San Diego who planted a Calvary Chapel in Villareal. Phil´s heart is to launch a ministry in Tamarindo (just outside of Villareal) that focuses on reaching out to the locals, surfers, and youth. So we will be helping him carry out this desire that the Lord has placed on his heart.
Already we have seen God work thru intersesion and relationships. Thank you so much for hanging out with us as we search out the heart ouf God. I pray that God meets you all where you are and that God takes the burdens and worries from you. God bless and Gracias.

Man I haven't wrote on this thing in years. God is faithful and he will always be. As i said earlier I along with five other men and women of God were preparing to lead trips to the nations of Morocco, India, and Israel. At first I was headed twords India as many of you may know. However, God had a different plan up His sleeve. After so circumstances The Big Man placed me on the trip to Costa Rica to lead with Danny and Michelle Williamson. I am so incredibly stoked to see what God has in store for Costa Rica and for us. God has heavily put the youth of Costa Rica on my heart. They are a generation that has no Shepard and I know God will do anything to make sure that they hear the amazing grace of Jesus. I (we) would MUCH appreciate it if you could be praying for God to unite our team together and for more passion for the people of Costa Rica. Thank you so much for all of your support.

After 5 weeks in Mexico we are now in San Diego, California learning more and more about what God desires to do for His kingdom. We are back in the lecture phase of S.P.E.A.R (leadership training) program for another 2 months, along with planing our five month outreaches. We have been so blessed by all of the speakers that have taught with such open and honest hearts.
Thank you so much for all of the prayers and support that has been so freely given to not only me but the rest of S.E.N.D Ministries. "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." There is no limit to what God can and will do if we devote our lives to Him in prayer. Thank you and God bless!

For Him, Mark

Que Pasa?

There are 7 of us traveling throughout the land down south. We are on the practical training leg of the S.P.E.A.R (leadership) program. As we travel and minister in Mexico we all take turns leading each other to prepare us for the "big" outreach for 5 months. Right now we are in Tijuana helping with an orphanage for about dose weeks. (please pray for my Spanglish to become Spanish). There is a lot of drugs and prostitution that engulfs T.J and destroys family after family. Please pray for Gods spirit to shatter what the enemy has done.

Thank you so much again for being apart of what God desires for the nations.
In Him, Marcos

HERE & NOW

I have been in the States for about 1 month and a 1/2 from a 5 month outreach to the country of Morocco, Africa.  I know understand the phrase "You don't know what you have until you don't have it anymore".  Being away from family & friends is hard.  As I came back to the US of A I was given an opportunity to do the leadership program with SEND Ministries.  After much prayer and much more sweating I said YES... then I said MABY... then I said YES!  If I've observed one thing it's that God is in the miracle business and any obstacle in the way God will deal with it.  I would be stoked if YOU would join me in praying for these next trips with Send Ministries.  Thank you so much!

For HIM, Mark
