Darren Stott's blog post, titled "POWERED BY BREATH: Discover your actual power source," delves into a thought-provoking analogy that likens human beings to laptops with three essential components: hardware, software, and power. Stott beautifully explores the concept that, just like laptops need a power source to function, humans have an internal energy source that connects them to something greater than themselves.
Darren Stott's blog post, titled "CHRISTIANS AND FREQUENCY HEALING," delves into the intersection of Christian faith and the growing trend of frequency healing practices, particularly those involving singing bowls. The post highlights the resurgence of mystical and occult beliefs in society, emphasizing the need for Christians to discern their involvement in such practices. Stott discusses the origins of singing bowl therapy, including Tibetan, crystal, and Himalayan bowls, tracing them back to Eastern spiritual traditions and occult modalities.
In his latest blog post titled "Is it a Sin for a Christian to Use Crystals? The Enchanted Church Part 4," Darren Stott delves into the controversial topic of Christians using crystals in their spiritual practices. Stott highlights the growing trend of Christians integrating crystals into their faith, believing that these objects of power are created by God and can promote divine health while warding off demonic influence.
Dear Friends,
If you have not yet heard, there is a a concerning piece of legislation that is quickly making its way to approval in Washington State.
Please join me in responding to State Bill 5599, a bill that seeks to take away an important right of parents. Please see details about SB 5599 further down in this email.
Keep in mind that SB 5599 has been written broadly. Although the speaking points for the bill say it is primarily seeks to get help for homeless children, it would also apply to children “who do not feel supported at home.”
The call to action is quite time-sensitive. I would so appreciate it if you could call take a quick minute to call the governor's office today.
CALL TO ACTION (as soon as possible!)
Call 360-902-4111 and follow prompts:
Press 2
Your name (say it and spell it)
Your telephone number
Your city
Leave message: “Do not sign State Bill 5599 into law! Do not take parents’ rights away from raising our children."
Last, but not least, please join me as we PRAY, PRAY, PRAY, heavenly intervention is made and that this bill is not signed into law.
Blessings,
Darren
In January, SB 5599 was introduced in the State Legislature and now is waiting for Governor Inslee’s signature (which he has told the media he is prepared to sign).
This bill would allow children (“transgender and at-risk youth seeking gender-affirming or reproductive care”) as young as thirteen to seek shelter at a government facility, without their parent’s knowledge or consent.
“This legislation allows licensed shelters to contact the Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) in lieu of parents in certain additional instances, like when a young person is seeking reproductive health services or gender-affirming care.“ Source: Democrat Senator Marko Liias
The following is a direct quote from the Senate Bill report for SB 5599:
Brief Summary of Bill
Provides that a shelter for runaway or homeless youth does not need to
contact the youth's parentsif there is a compelling reason not to, which
includes a youth seeking protected health services.
Allows host homes to house youth without parental permission if a youth
is seeking or receiving protected health care services.
Appropriates $7.5 million to the Office of Homeless Youth Prevention
and Protection for providing access to supportive care grants to
organizations in order to address the needs of youth and young adults
seeking protected health care services.
The important phrase is “….youth seeking protected health services” which is further discussed in the paragraph following and taken directly from the State’s website. Source: Legislature Wa Government website.
“The access to supportive care grants may include access to behavioral health services, peer navigation and support, employment support, education support, case management, advocacy outreach, housing and financial support or other navigation support to secure safe and stable housing, including the use of host homes.

Darren Stott's blog post delves into the resurgence of Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) and its popularity among Christian children. He explores the complex relationship between Christianity, supernatural themes, and popular culture, drawing parallels to the 1980s when Christian parents were wary of certain forms of entertainment like Ouija boards and The Smurfs.

Prayer Focus Dates:
🗓 August 14-29, 2022.
What we will be doing:
We will be serving two churches in South Africa and then getting to do some work with the amazing people and children at the Maputo Iris base in Mozambique.
I will also speak at an amazing conference at the Iris Base in Maputo with one of my heroes, Pastor Suprise!!
This significant conference will be full of celebration, and great joy as many of these ministers and people have been isolated for a significant amount of time because of how hard COVID-19 has impacted this country.
The country still has many regulations and rules, and there are aspects of the trip that could get tricky, so we are asking that God would give us:
1.) Favor
2.) Wisdom
3.) Protection
Lastly, this is a pricey trip (as you can imagine), but we feel called to include our kids in the many incredible opportunities for them to minister to the children in Mozambique. Abigail's life was forever changed in 2019, and we know this trip will profoundly impact our other children.
