Things take time.

HelIo. Matt Here.

   I ask my self sometimes why I even write these. Most of the time it is because I want to start something regularly, but the problem is with the consistency in which things related to this blog happen. On Our Hearts has, for the most part, only been two guys with limited resources and a plethora of distractions.

   One of those distractions is being involved in training at the College for Officership Training in The Salvation Army. This means that we will be commissioned and ordained to serve in the Salvation Army as officers, pastors, accountants, statisticians, small group leaders, preachers, counselors, community specialist, ecumenical agents, worship leaders, and more. If it sounds crazy, that's because it is.

   I've only understood myself to be called towards one of those. It's where my gifts, my talents, and my passions are. I also believe that it can help the world and that the world needs it, even if in small batches.

   For anyone reading, I wanted to update you on what we are doing.  OOH isn't just two people spreading a message. It's a group, as it began as. We have begun a group development for On Our Hearts to be an evangelistic resource for those involved. We've partnered with painters, graphic artist, and musicians and we plan on partnering with more in the future.

   What this means is that we will work together to develop teaching, videos, lyrics, songs, and illustrations that draw people to the Gospel and its key implications. These resources will be available to the public free of charge to anyone who can use them. They will be uploaded to Youtube, on a Google Drive, or on a website, whichever, would make the most sense.

I will update this more often noting different stories, provisions, and works that God has given us. I continue to pray for support, open doors, and provisions. Most of all, I pray for the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Birthdays. Everywhere. Especially today.

Today was pretty awesome. Well, with Jesus, every day is inspires awe in me. Today is my birthday as I was born from my mother's womb on April 13th, 1986 at 6:55 in the evening. But my physical birth isn't to be celebrated as much as another birth we saw happen in front of our eyes . We met a gentlemen today who came in broken mess, but left a new creation ( 2nd Corinthians 5:17 ). God called him home today and like the prodigal son, he returned and he used us to reach him. I am humbled. As we lead the Lima, Oh Salvation Army in worship and shared what was on our hearts, the Lord was speaking. I looked over our notes after washing and dressing and I prayed this morning that the Lord would say what he would through us. He certainly had a lot to say. We laughed, we cried, we sang, and we were very blessed. It's so good to know that God didn't close the curtain on our drama because of the bomb we made of it. It's good news that out of His great love for us and

Continue Praying!

What an awesome opportunity we have in these days. The fields are ripe and it's time to harvest. Please continue to pray for us. Dave is going back to Camp SWONEKY this Summer as well as a mission trip to Jamaica! I am continuing to work at the Sal and look for opportunity to share with God's people. We have vision that we believe is coming from the Holy Spirit. We have a cause. Pray that we can gather the resources that we need and that we ration them effectively. Pray for us to get DEEP into the word and hide it in our hearts. Pray that we would become love so that wherever we go, people want what we have.

Rockin' Lock-In

Blessings.  You are on our hearts and we sincerely hope you have seen God's blessing since our last update. A slight change of plans have occurred in our minds. David Webb will be MCing and speaking at the 2013 Rockin' Lock-In event being held at The Salvation Army Columbus Citadel on December 31. We've decided to participate musically about halfway through the night (3:00am). We are planning a setlist that will consist of some familiar worship songs and a few originals and we're running through some of the song details until then.  If you don't know about the Rockin' Lock-In on December 31st, more information can be obtained by clicking on the picture below which is linked to the Facebook Page.
