Rejection crossed out

Your love Sweet Beauty lifts me of my burdens

I will dance!

Romans 8:26

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness, we do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.

Healing

Wounds crossed out

For Today

Emotions

Cold Play

By my side

move on

I need you! Beloved!

Right by my side tell me you wont leave me

~ Julia Quistad

Before we went to do the burn on the 15th of June we needed to make a stop at the laundromat. We had a total of 4 loads to wash. I, Julia, was designated as the one to wait there at the laundromat when the others took a quick stop at Wal-mart. When I was waiting I met the woman who ran the place and we  talked for a while. She asked about our team and where we were from. I told her about our mission and why we were here : To spread God's love to Maine. Later,  a woman named Mindy came and joined in on the conversation. Sarah, the precious woman who ran the Laundromat told me about the largest tree in Maine.  Low and behold, she described a place I had envisioned.  About two days ago I drew a picture of the very same tree.  As she looked at the picture she stated  "It was as if you knew that we were going to talk and you would have this picture for me" The tree had deep roots and was beside a stream of " living water" (Jesus is our living water).  It was as the tree was a faith tree, because it grew from a mustard seed. In the second drawing I showed her there were three people holding hands around a huge tree. The four people were  Sarah, Mindy, Me and Jesus! The tallest trees in Maine are crying out for revival. The rest of the team returned to the laundromat and were in awe! 


Last night we had a Burn at the House of Prayer in Maine. Prophetic song, dance, and  art flowed freely. Freedom! "Perfect love cast out all Fear" Mighty deliverance and restoration of family is the word for Maine. People get ready, Jesus is Coming!! Get ready to receive Him.  Our God is awesome! He says we are worth it. YOU ARE WORTH IT BELOVED.

When we left Oklahoma on friday night at 2am, He gave us just enough strength to get there due to not sleeping because of the awesome worship we had that night. We showed up in Toledo Ohio around 6:30pm just in time to head over the The Greater Toledo House of Prayer. When we were in the car, we asked God how he wanted to encounter His people, what was on his heart.... all of us got similar things that he wanted to show people. One thing He wanted to show was his passion for his sons and daughters, and one of our team members got that there would be random people coming in and not knowing why. Later, when we began worship, all of the people began to want and declare unity among everyone, prophetic prayers were being prayed over individuals to where God touched them in a mighty way and caused them to weep. One lady was so touched she gave $300 to The Burn!!! Sure enough God told us right, we had random people just showing up and being prayed for! The leadership at the place was so awesome and welcoming that it was no problem! Even family members of one of are team mates showed up when they said they weren't coming! God can do anything at anytime! We were immensely blessed by the leadership there. Their desire and passion for Jesus was so evident, that you couldn't help but experience the joy that just emanated from them. Holy Toledo! It's coming to pass! God's stirring up a nation and Toledo is just more evidence of His faithfulness..

Our drive to Maine was beautiful. Several of those on our team have never been to this section of the US and were certainly not disappointed. We've been given many opportunities to minister in the most random settings, like the tollbooths for one. We arrived late at night to Waterville, Maine and were warmly received by Jaimie Dixon and his leaders. The next morning we went to a beach in Acadia with Jaimie where we got to rock climb to a cave. Song of Solomon 2:8-14 came to mind ;). We then returned in the evening to hang out at a bonfire with some of the leaders of different ministries in the area. It was so much fun and felt like a family reunion. Tonight is The Burn and we are stoked to go and worship with our fiery brothers and sisters, and greatly desire to see others encounter Jesus either for the first time, or in a fresh new way!

I honestly have no idea where we are. I think we are somewhere near Salem, Massachusetts. Not sure. Here's the rundown of the last....two days? Yeah.

The day before yesterday, we were in Boston. We did worship with the JHOP (Justice House of Prayer, not pancakes) people and it was pretty powerful. Twas bomb cuz we got to invest in their lives and their ministry. And then we slept. Then, yesterday, we were in Salem. The town where they had all the witch trials. The whole town had such a feeling of sadness on it. it was strange. There was resistance. And then Cameron asked me to lead worship. for those that are unaware, I play bass, so i was going to lead from a bass guitar. Which is kinda hard...anyway. We got there and did some street evangelism and worship, and then did a worship set at this church that used to be a satanic, wiccan stronghold. We dominated it...it was really rocky, fast, energetic worship. The whole room was rockin' out! It wasn't us- but rather God moving THROUGH us and setting up His throne in a place of sadness and darkness. God brought joy to them and us. Pray it continues.

Then, ironically by the grace of God, we got a flat tire. In the middle of....wherever we are. We took a long time trying  different ways to pump up the tire, then to change it, but it took us forever to find the tools and stuff. So it was too late for us to make it to the church in Baltimore on time, so we got hotel rooms. five people per room. very fun. And now, i have no idea what we are doing next. I think God gave us this day as a day of rest. We really needed it after the warfare in Salem...so pray that wherever we end up going, we get going fast! We've got a mission to accomplish!

Oh and pray for patience. We all need it, I'm sure. Or maybe it's just me. :P

Let me recap the last few days for you guys, to keep you updated. We were at Yale- did I mention that yet? Yale was intense. 6 hours of spirit-led worship and prayer. At least one person was saved- thanks to the eloquence of my good buddy Rob- and a stronghold for the Lord has been played in that city. You think a demonic stronghold is really even that strong? Bring it on- our God is way bigger than those punks.

Yale was one thing. Then we went to Brown University and prayed over its grounds. It's coming, guys. It really is. I could feel it. A sense that all Christians need to do is keep contending, keep fighting and hold on- and God will finally be King of our nation again!

 

And finally, we are in Maine. We've actually been here for a few days. It is honestly my favorite place so far. No offense, Detroit- ya'll are freakin awesome, and I honestly think that I like detroit just as much. I loved it out there. But Maine...this place is like a second home. We had some crazy intense worship here- God moved and descended and BAM. People had their lives rocked. The nature is flat-out beautiful- mountains mixed with a gorgeous view of the Atlantic Ocean! It's dang cold though- we couldn't go in the ocean. But that's okay. Ain't exactly the focus of our trip.

 Anyway, We have had a heckuva time out here so far. It brings worship and Christianity into a more national perspective- it made it feel like we are unified with the believers in these cities. We ARE unified with them! We worshipped together! We are facebook friends! That's a big step! This isn't just us contending for Colorado- this isn't just a few believers in Denver surrounded by an entire country of opposition. There are believers in every city- all we gotta do is stand together on God. So why aren't we fighting more? 

Instead of my normal jokes...let me leave you with that for the night. If victory is within our grasp- why aren't we fighting harder?

Eyes until tomorrow’s sun is shining.  We are here -
New Haven, CT, with Ryan Wetherhead and Jamie Dickson!
Tomorrow we tour Yale University - we listen to the history.
We find ourselves dreaming for the restored Yale.  Too, too
Many of our nation’s leaders have come from this ground -
And I keep hearing stories of Charles Finney - a revivalist
To the nation - and we are waiting…anticipating….and full of hope
To see America repent and depend on our Father & King once again.

We are surrounded by a community of New England university and prayer
Lovers.  Intercessors. Worshipers. Dreamers.  Jamie and his team, the Burn
Wagon crew, & Ryan and his crew embark tomorrow on a journey
Together - collaborating together in worship and intercession.  Simple too….
acoustic guitars, djembes, and whatever other percussion instruments we can get
our hands on!  We will be in downtown New Haven and across the street from the
Grounds of Yale.  We are praying specifically for open doors with students on the
campus for Ryan & Lenny; we are praying for favor for a room on the actual
grounds that Ryan can use for The Burn Project.  We want to pull even more
Students in!  We are praying that there would be an awakening!  We are wanting
To see the spirit of humanism desist. I keep hearing the words “we wrestle not against
Flesh & blood…but against….we wrestle not against….but against the powers of this
Dark world…”

And I feel an inward strength.  I feel unafraid, un-wavered, unmoved.  I feel peace
In the midst of opposition; that what is happening ….there is something Greater.
Or rather, Someone.  I feel alive in dreaming.  I feel apart of something so much
Bigger than me and right where I need to be…

I am anticipating these next few days - as we travel the New England area…
Visiting a few more Ivy League Universities, joining with a few JHOP’s
Along the way, worship and whatever else that Father would have us do!
We are listening….we are waiting. We want to move when He says move
And talk when He says talk, sing when He says it, stop when He says it,
Dance or hit a drum or be silent or laugh when He says to …

“They pray as if it all depends on God and live as if it all depends on them…”

Our team is amazing.  Gifted beyond reason!  Strong yet tender-hearted.  
Ready to abandon all for the sake of freedom in America….true freedom.  
We have a dream for a holy nation.  We have a dream for a set apart nation.
We have a dream for the northeast region and we won’t be silent.

….we love you guys.  Thank you for believing in us, praying for us,
And for your constant encouragement through texts, emails, phone
Calls.

Southeast….West coast - you are in our hearts.  We are praying for you.
We love you all and cannot wait to hear the next wild adventure set
Before you!!

It is so late…..5 days of little to no sleep is too much for me.  
I’m out - but not for long…

This is Josh. I'm reporting from Joe Rosario's Toshiba Crapbox laptop in New Haven, Connecticut. I'm starting to think that I am going to be the only one doing blogs. Gives me a lot of power. Woot. Ahem. Anyway.

Last night we were in Buffalo, New York. We came in the middle of a 24-hour worship night, and immediately Cam and Bethany (who is now known as the Freckle-Faced Freedom Fighter- yay for alliterations) stepped up to the proverbial plate and started bustin' out some sick worship tunes. We all took turns throughout the night- I think Joe Lewin played for like 6 hours or something crazy like that. Kid's a freakin' stud. Like a modern-day John the Baptist who showera and eats real food instead of grasshoppers. But it was really legit worship- God moved even despite a few hardcore setbacks. However, as a team we bonded together and overcame through God's strength. We dominated that place. Keep praying for the city, though- they are under some serious opposition!

Coincidentally, I was just thinking the other day, how much would it suck to be Satan? forver locked in a losing battle against the God of the universe? Shoulda thought that one through. What a nub (which, for those of you that don't know, is a shortened term that means noob, which is a shortened term that means newbe, which is  used to designate a person as a beginner at a specific task, sport, etc. Wow, this is a really big parenthetical phrase. MEANWHILE.....)

Thanks to all of you who are praying for us! I can't even explain how much it means to everyone on the team. And thank you for reading this blog.

Well, I really hope at least SOMEONE is reading this blog. I have a sinking feeling that it's mostly me and Rob's moms on this thing. Oh well.

God bless ya'll!

-The Froman

P.S. Since Rob just pointed out that I didn't mention anything about Niagra Falls....

There was a LOT of water.

What's up, guys? This is Josh Roman here. I've been assigned to update the blog online to let everybody know how the Northeast Team is doin'.Good news is, we haven't hit any huge issues yet. Praise God! He put together a great group of people. Our team is getting together like we're old friends. God's keeping arguments and grumpiness away, and we've already bonded together. Tonight was our first official worship of the trip, up here in breezy beautiful Detroit. God moved hardcore! I think everyone on our team had God do something to prepare us for the rest of the trip! It was quite legit, as we Colorado kids say.And our host family is amazing! Nothing like a home-cooked meal and a nice comfy couch to sleep on.So I figure that I should introduce our team, so that I won't have to bother with that later.

Our fearless leaders, Tracy and Bethany. Tracy is legit, and I promise you that she's only 29. We established that. Bethany is our lovable-but-gullible finances officer. If that's a real term. Ahem. Both great people. woo.

Rob Bray is my bud from Westminster, CO. He's essentially a modern-day Paul. Or something. But he's freakin legit.

Joe Lewin is my other Colorado Comrade. He is our prayer warrior. Love him. He's like a rock. You can count on him. Also he's Jewish. Yay God's original people!

Joe Rosario is my Puerto-Rican guitar-playing broha. He's got a good story and a crazy good love for people and for God. Good kid. Even better servant.

Oly..Perez? I think that's her last name. But I digress. She is our photographer girl. And a little bundle of energy. One of the most entertaining people to talk to. Our trip would be boring without her for sure!

Efe is our lovable, cheerful african-american friend. She is so encouraging and loving. And the girl's got soul! Freakin schweetness.

Rachel is a girl from Roanoke, Virginia. She's a homie, cuz Virginia is feakin tight. Don't know her well, but she's legit, cuz I can tell she's got love for God like none otherCameron, I'm going to designate our official white guy who rocks. Lord knows he's got it hard, cuz he's done the bulk of the driving so far. Can't wait to hear what he can do with a guitar.

And finally, I am Josh "Froman" Roman. As you may guess, I have a fro. I'm the goofball who always tries to find humor to keep people's spirits up, and I will be honest, I am very excited for what God is gonna do on this crazy trip, and on the other wagons too.

Keep us in your prayers! Prayer can move mountains. And I think God is in the mood for some mountain-movin'. Pray, love, and never give up. That's all for today! :)

-The Froman
