Dear !fname:

In times of transition you can tend to feel morevulnerable, but we just wanted to extend a BIGthanks for your prayers during our transition toNew Zealand. Most everything is going well.

We found a modest place to rent and a vehicle.Hanna was accepted at a Christian school that wecan afford since it is subsidized by the government.

The IWT leadership team here headed up by Dave Cole,whom we worked with in Fiji, is simply awesome.

God is moving strong in the earth as He prepares Hisbride for the marriage supper of the Lamb! The moveof His Spirit in Lakeland Florida is exciting. Weare encouraged that the prophesy that said it wascoming also talked about New Zealand being in the mix.

We are getting engaged in the House of Prayer here.We met Aaron Walsh, who heads it up, in Fiji last year.He worked with Mike Bickle in KC for 7 years gettingthe IHOP going there. We are pressing into the Lordknowing the battle for souls in Philippines is coming.(After our huge victory in Fiji - huge victory insinuateshuge battle - we know we would be crazy to even attemptthe Philippines without our intercessory partners.)

We are also planning some follow up work in Fijilater this year. Please pray for that. We want to equip the saints there to continue to gather theand disciple the harvest of 17,000+ mostly youngpeople that made decisions for Jesus.

As we are getting settled into our "base" here,we are also in communication with the National Directorof YWAM Philippines and planning the IWT tour there.My first trip there will be in early July. I willbe meeting Mark Anderson there (head of IWT and Call2All,the movement I mentioned in a previous email of theprayer and missions movements linking together to fulfill the Great Commission in the next few years.)

We will be gathering with key YWAM, Church, Business,and Political leaders in Philippines to share thevision of IWT and start planning the preparation and implementation phases with them.

Thank you again for your willingness to be yokedwith us on this journey for our King. We miss our loved ones in Rockford - sometimes the ache inour hearts is overwhelming - but the Lord has beenso gracious and merciful to us to confirm His willand comfort us. The best and safest place to be isin His will - both for us, and each other.

Grace & Peace to You!

A. If you do not need or want a tax deduction, mail check made out to Curt or Kay Johnson and mail to my parents who assist us at:

B. If you need or want a tax deduction - from our base's accounting department:

"To donate to a missionary or a fund please 1) make checks payable to "YWAM". 2) Please write their name on a separate piece of paper or sticky note as follows "for the support of ...(full name of missionary) in ...(city & country)" For U.S. citizens this is very important as the IRS will not consider it as a donation to our non profit organization if the person's name is on the check & thereby the gift will not be considered tax deductible. 3) Mail check to: YWAMPO Box 61700Honolulu, HI 96839Try to get checks to us by the 24th or the previous Friday if the 24th is on a weekend. Any check received after the 24th will be processed on the 1st of the following month. We will mail you a receipt once the check has been processed. Thank you for your support!
