    Hello riends & amily!Im now in my third month of being backin Pennsylvania and I wanted to send anupdate on what God has already beendoing in our community and what this nextyear with Fire & Fragrance Harrisburglooks like.The School of the Circuit Riders weattended this summer was awesome! 300people showed up from the US and allaround the world. With a busy 6-day aweek schedule, we had lectures, time in theprayer room, small groups, work duties onthe YWAM campus, and communityoutreaches in Kona ranging from door-to-door evangelism to helping a community

    from the Marshall Islands learn how tofarm. This short school was so amazingand encouraging. Our focus has been simplysave the lost, revive the saved, disciplethem all.Getting back to the simplicity of the gospelhas been,as it always is, a revelation.The pure fact that Jesus died for our sinsand wants to be Lord of our lives led toover 80 salvations during the times of

    door-to-door evangelism in Kona!Over those 5 weeks God began to speak tous about some changes we should make in

    our community here in Harrisburg. As arefresher the heart behind planting a Fire &Fragrance in the Northeast is to see revivalin America and training others for a newwave of missions to every nation. We beganto realize that one of the biggest hindrancesto true revival culture would be for us to

    become training centered instead ofministry and revival centered. Essentially,the danger would be to know everythingabout revival and never simply live it in ourdaily lives.Because of this revelation we felt the Lordleading us to move our next DiscipleshipTraining School back to January instead ofstarting this fall. So for these fall andwinter months we have been connectingwith local ministries in Harrisburg so thatwe can focus solely on reaching our city andneighboring regions. We know that as wecenter our community on ministry to theLord and ministry to the lost God is goingto pour out even more on our training schoolwhen we start up in January 2012!our team has traveled to Georgetown, ColbyCollege, Harvard, Columbia, Yale, and Princeton

    with musician Sean Feucht for the God isNot Dead tour to share the gospel!Due to the Harrisburg flood in September, wespent 2 weeks joining with the local
