Newsletter (05) - January -February 2009
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of
foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was
the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before
us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way -
in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its
being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."
To everything there is a season; A time for every purpose under heaven Ecclesiastes 3:1
Both of these are Words in Due Season for the season in which we are. Things on a global, political
and climatic scale seem to be the worst we have seen—EXCEPT for those who are called ‘righteous’.
For the righteous, we are assured that our steps are ordered by Him (Psalm 37:23).We feel it is
important at this time to share with you what the Lord has revealed to us regarding our next steps as a
family and developing ministry.
There is no denial of what a great and mighty work God has done in our lives over the past two years.
From the time of orchestrating the convergence of two people who had no prior knowledge of each
others’ existence—each living a life of singleness with hope and expectation for the next thing that God
was about to do—to the creation of a completed family unit.
While our excitement continues to mount for what God has shown us regarding the Kingdom
purposes of the Emerging Daniel Company, we want to remain diligent in keeping the Heavenly
protocol of putting “first things first”. In the Eyes of Heaven, family comes before ministry. As we have
previously shared, upon approaching our first wedding anniversary last year, we made a trip to Elijah
House ministry founder, John Sandford for an examination of hearts and spirits.Now is the season to
focus on our son, Josiah.
While we have seen tremendous progress and transformation in Josiah since he has become part of a
completed family, he continues to struggle with certain learning and developmental challenges.
Through, yet again, another series of ‘divine maneuvers” by the Lord, we had been led to have Josiah
formally evaluated to determine the source of these challenging issues andit has been confirmed that
these challenges place him in a category termed as ‘high functioning Autism’.(There is so much more
to tell regarding how this came about, but too long to share here).
During the second week of December, 2008, we made a trip to the Atlanta, Georgia area to a facility that
specializes in holistic treatment for what is termed as “Functionally Disconnected” children.After two
days of testing Josiah, we met with the associate director for the results.During this very interesting
and thorough meeting, we reviewed the report which was what they call their “Traffic Light Report”.
This is a computer generated color coded synopsis of the results of all the testing on a bubble chart.
Why do we share this bit of information?
Well, some of you who were in St. Simons, Georgia this past August during the Living Waters II
conference might recall a period during one of the meetings wherein Bobby Conner was struggling
with revelation and whether to deliver it publicly or not.He finally approached Aaron and Jill-Marie to
deliver this prophetic word while singing “On the Road Again…” and cryptically stating “red and green
both mean go and in the Spring is when you will go—hope you like Southern hospitality, ‘cause it
looks like you two will be moving South! “
At that time, back in August of course we had no idea what on earth this could mean—it was either that
Bobby forgot to have his coffee that morning or that since red and green are typically colors
associated with the Christmas season, we put the word on the back burner thinking we would get
further revelation sometime in December…..
Now, back to December 12th when we are reviewing the “Traffic Light Report” which displays nothing
but red and green circles over the page!As we looked at each other remembering the prophetic word
back in August, we knew exactly what decision we had to make.As we were listening to the results of
the evaluation, we were given hope in that after completing six months of this stimulation training
program, Josiah will be functioning totally at his appropriate age level!After taking a few moments to
process the information we had just been given, without any natural plan for how or when this would
happen, we knew we just needed to say “Yes” to what the Lord was lying before us.
Shortly after the beginning of this year, Aaron had a dream wherein he was conversing with someone
about when Josiah would start the program and in the dream Aaron responded “Oh, May 11” and said
as he was coming out of the dream said to himself, “If May 11 is on a Monday, then I know this will be a
true word”….well, sure enough May 11 is a Monday.This would further confirm the Word delivered in
August that it would be the “Spring”.
With all that said, we also have understanding through an encounter from God that “our measure of
rule is to be the East Coast” –this together with Spiritual confirmation of promises for things yet to be
completed in the New England area by EDC, we know that we will be returning to the Northeast at
some point.
As we continue to see the Lord moving swiftly in the matters of Kingdom purposes, we are asking each
of you for your continued partnership with us as we walk in obedience and to join us in prayer for:
Thank you for your prayers, intercession and support.

As we continue to see the Lord moving swiftly in the matters of Kingdom purposes, we are asking each
of you for your continued partnership with us as we walk in obedience and to join us in prayer for:
 | the swift approach of the right buyer for our house in Massachusetts over-riding what the world | |
| says about falling real estate markets so that we will have the finances available for the move | ||
| the manifestation of the appropriate housing situation in Peachtree City | |
| Josiah’s expedient completion of the program and total healing | |
| the Evans family/EDC to stay healthy, be wealthy (in spirit and financially) and make wise | |
| decisions | ||
| revelation on the fulfillment of the manifold Kingdom purpose for this relocation as we continue to | |
| seek first those things of the Kingdom in all that we do | ||
| Godly ordained administrators to help us work all things for good. |
Thank you for your prayers, intercession and support.
