Sex+Money: Rebirth

            After ending the 50 State Tour, God has been blowing His breath upon the sails of my life. As of this week, I have officially moved to Harrisburg, PA to work full time for the Sex+Money film as their Associate Producer/Campaign Manager. I had the honor to be asked by the Executive Producer, Morgan Perry, to help bring leadership and assistance unto the next stage of its evolution as a national awareness campaign across America. 

            As the 50 State tour came to it’s final chapter, we realized God’s purpose for us was just beginning to unravel. It seems our journey across the U.S. was merely the prequel to a greater story that He was preparing to write with our lives. At face value this journey was a distribution tour. But from heaven’s perspective, God was leading us to witness lives changed by His Spirit interwoven throughout the film. Going state-by-state and seeing Isaiah 61 unfold before our eyes awakened us to the reality that this film was of His doing, and not of our own. God in essence was clothing us with a mantle of faith to partner with His dreams.

            For the next year, Morgan and I will be working with business development consultants who will be bringing leadership for Sex+Money to become a well-oiled non-profit organization & awareness campaign. Our goal is to become a leader in bringing awareness & education to domestic minor sex trafficking in the U.S., and to be a leader in networking the different organizations from policy, restoration, to education in order to effectively combat & eradicate this issue. Beyond these two points, the Lord has already been downloading amazing new projects and connecting us with the right people to become an effective tool in God’s hand against this injustice.

            Though Sex+Money may be receiving a corporate face-lift, we will be driving the pillars of this new house deeper into our foundations as a Mission for Jesus. We are already in the works of an upcoming media & publication project to bring an effective response to the spiritual implications of this film. We can’t wait to give the details! But all in due timing :)

            As Morgan and I transition, I ask that you please cover us in prayer. Since being in Harrisburg, our lives have been going at high speeds. Our priority is to follow God’s presence more than the promises that God has for this project. Please pray that we become like Moses during this whole process: a man of God who cared more about the presence of God than the promises of the promise land. (Exodus 33:15).

  

I can’t express enough how honored I am to have you all stand behind me. Thank you for being part of the pioneering stages of what is on God’s Heart.

Love you all more than you know,

Jasen  

Remember Haiti

Two years ago at 4:53PM, Haiti was struck with a 7.0 magnitude earthquake that shook the nation. An estimated 250,000+ died that day.

In remembrance of Haiti, at 4:53PM Eastern Time today I ask that you please lift up a prayer for the nation, contending for God to bring revival, and to use the Haitian people mightily for the nations across the Earth. Pray that the Lord awakens the John the Baptist's, Moses', Elijah's and Anna's hidden in the caves of hopelessness to arise and walk in their destiny. Haiti's promise is to be a blessing to all nations. God, is the keeper of all promises. 

Love you all more than you know,

All things, for our good.

Happy 2012!

 

         As 2011 has officially come to a close, my heart is filled with joy in remembrance of God’s faithfulness in our lives. Your prayers & support have been my heartbeat throughout this God Journey. From being a worship leader in Kona to hundreds of missionaries to the Nations; tsunami relief in Ishinomaki, Japan; Healing, restoration & impartation to Haiti; to trumpeting God’s call for justice through the Sex+Money 50 state tour across America. God has used your prayers to be a hand in all these amazing things on His heart.

         Behind the curtains of my journey, you all have also stood in the gap for my personal life. From warring against cancer for the lives of three friends & family members who passed on to be with the Lord, to my healing & restoration after my season in Haiti, you all have carried the deepest parts of my heart in prayer.  Needless to say, Jesus has been unrelenting in handcrafting our hearts to give the fullness of life that He promised.

         In John 10:10, Jesus declares “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” As I reflect about 2011, I believe this fullness God was speaking of, was not about material possessions or of comfort. Rather it was His ability to mold our hearts to carry a heavenly capacity of Love & Faith. He was offering Himself, an undeserved access of the divine to be like Him, by offering his gentle hands to mold our hearts to love and embrace faith as He did. 

         Just as Jesus slept on the boat during the fearful storm (Mark 4:37-41), and as Jesus walked silently to the Cross like a lamb being led to the slaughter (Isaiah 53:7), no matter the circumstance His heart knew this life of fullness. This was fullness, where no storm could wash away His love & faith in the nature & character of our God’s eternal love.

         The same eternal love has taught us that He is able & willing to make all things work out for those who Love Him. I may have lost a beloved cousin who left two children behind. But I’ve gained two beautiful nephews who have chosen God in the midst of unprecedented pain, who now have been entrusted with a heart to love & embrace faith like Jesus did, in a way few will ever know (Love you, John & Jonathan). Nothing, not even death itself, can separate us from God’s love that makes all things new (Romans 8 / Revelations 21:5).

         As we embark on this new year of 2012, I believe God is declaring a season of new beginnings. God’s mighty power will continue to shake what must be shaken to prepare for His return. Yet, with His steadfast & gentle hands He will still embrace us, protect us, wipe away our tears, and pour out His Love more than we could ever ask. I don’t promise that the storms may stop. Some may unfortunately face hurricanes & tornadoes. But may we never forget that the Sun still shines bright above the clouds, reminding us that Jesus came to give us life to the full – not by taking away the storms that come our way, but teaching us how to waltz in the rain.

My prayer is that God will make us like Joseph in 2012. A man that not only prospered well, but suffered well in fullness, in Jesus name. 

 

May our gaze be fixed upon the One who is preparing our hearts for Eternity.

 

Love you all more than you know,

P.S.

As for next steps, I will be home till February continuing to prepare & lead worship for select screenings with the Sex+Money tour. I will also be leaving for IHOP on Jan 4-6^th to pray with the Sex+Money family, Exodus Cry, & the AWAKEN family from YWAM Kona to discuss our future steps. We feel the Lord is going to expand our tent stakes & merge us as different families that all have a heart to abolish sex trafficking in our generation. Please pray for open hearts to His Spirit as we embrace unity & humility to serve one another. 

Abolitionists Arise

 

            All across the canvas of human history, men & woman of our faith have come against the tides of popular culture & oppressive principalities for the sake of Freedom. In the spirit of Christ, men like William Wilberforce & Martin Luther King JR, broke through the forces of culture, politics, & religion to bring the Isaiah 61 freedom Christ has been declaring for thousands of years. 

            As we have been traveling across the 50 states, the Sex+Money film tour has been witnessing history in the making. Through our film, God has been raising up modern abolitionists all across the nation with one thing in mind: FREEDOM.

            In Universities with FBI special agents, survivors & aftercare specialists serving our panels, we have witnessed the lives of students & business professionals shift before our eyes. In the churches, we have seen the power of God bring repentance, heal sexual brokenness and release freedom trumpeted across hearts. Not one state has been left without a potential Daniel to rise up against the principalities against this Generation.

       As we are now in our 46^th state, the testimonies of God’s hand across this project have been rolling in. Just recently we were praised by the FBI’s innocence lost initiative with their full support. They will soon be using the film as a training tool for other agents, local law enforcement, and their respective communities. In almost every sphere of society we have seen God use this film to plant seeds in people of influence.

       All the testimonies that we have heard are because of the prayers you all have been sowing in the spiritual realms. It is a rarity in life to have the opportunity to intercede, and directly walk out our own intercession. Thank you for directly pouring into God’s hand in bringing Justice across the nation. 

 

Please continue to cover us in prayer as we officially end our tour in Irvine, California on December 9^th, 2011.

 

Love you all more than you know,

Next Chapter: Sex+Money

            As of yesterday, I've officially been adopted into the amazing "Sex+Money" Family! The team safely arrived to my humble abode in Virginia where I'll be starting the tour with screenings in my own home state. I am truly honored to be running with these amazing brothers & sisters who have been laboring for over three years that have led to this film.

              What started from a seed of compassion, God has watered their fertile hearts with faith that has produced a life-giving tree of hope & justice. As it states in Mark 4:30-32:

 31 [The Kingdom of Heaven] is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown on the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth, 32yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade”

This film is that tree, and the trafficked women will be the birds flying with the winds of freedom under their wings. It's branches will be strengthed by Love, and the birds will nest under the shadow of God's Justice.    

            I am convinced that massive awareness, discussion & convictions will ensue, but it is only when we put our hands unto the plow that test the reality of ones true concerns. So as we embark on this journey to churches & universities, our goal is to raise $1.1 Million through DVD & Merchandise sales to build long-term restoration homes for trafficked victims. We have partnered with "Streetlight PHX" who's sole mission is to eradicate child sex slavery through awareness & restoration. 

To make this possible I humbly ask that you partner with us in prayer & finances. Follow our journey, cover us in prayer, and be a direct part of this move of God to set the captives free. [Click here to PARTNER].
