Missions Unleashed

I’m super excited about what God is doing right now in school and in my life. God has been touching me in such a personal way and showing me more and more on how to be His son and live from grace. I’ve had my struggles for sure as God is continuing to point out areas that He wants to remove from my life and give me something far greater. Though I can’t say how good it is to be fulfilling the destiny of God for my life.
Which brings me to the purpose of my letter; I am also extremely excited about some events that are coming up in the future and I wanted to bring you into this exciting experience that I get to be apart of here in school.
Every once in awhile we have the opportunity to quite literally transform a region. The team that I will be a part of is going to an undisclosed area in Asia has a huge open door. We are partnered with a group of leaders whose home territories span a territory roughly the size of California. These individuals have two unifying factors: First, they are incredibly hungry to experience and to share a loving, miracle-working God who always has more. Second, many of them are the only believers to minister in the specific area that God has laid on their heart. Indeed, many work in places and with people groups that were completely unreached seven years ago. Now, they are the first to declare the name of Jesus and to share the extravagant love of God in their cities, villages and remote mountain areas.
I will be heading out March 23rd through April 7th 2012 with a team from 1st and 2nd year students to build relationships and equip the saints in that area to do the work of the ministry. It is such a privilege to be picked for this trip; we will be ministering to the leaders of the leaders and missionaries in a place that hasn’t had a lot of results up until lately. This is a pioneering work that will have eternal results.
This trip will cost $3100 plus a new passport and a bot for travel.
I want to thank you so much for partnering with me in this adventure. I appreciate every gift of prayer and declaration over us as we go. I also appreciate every financial donation to build the Kingdom of God through me and in Central Asia. It will never be forgotten. I would love to connect more and share. If you are interested in how to pray for me in this area or how to help raise support Email me at (redeemingpassion.nr@gmail.com) and I would love to answer any questions. The area that we are going can’t be shared publicly online but if you want to know more details I am able to share them personally.
The heart at Bethel International is to raise up a generation of world changers that will be known simply for their reckless abandonment to see that Jesus is Lord in all the nations. As we are building relationships with various regions around the world, one of the main goals that we have is to make the nations look like geniuses. Our strategy is to go to and raise up influencers in their own nations so they begin to run with the inheritance that God has given them to transform their nation. All of our Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry trips are partnered with Bethel International’s vision for transforming nations.

SO much is going on right now. I wanted to bring everyone that has been praying for us into the loop of what’s going on. I’m doing great in 2nd year thriving not crying. Ha

I am doing the track called international transformation. It is so awesome! The lady that is leading it really impacted me when I was in 1st year. A lot of what she shared helped me be more successful while I was in Sudan. Well we have project groups going on that are actually making a difference. Its not just a school project but we are doing things that change peoples lives and governments.  I am leading our group working with Heaven Sent ministries. We are Helping them to build and resource teams to minister to and host missionaries. I don’t have any certain idea how we are doing that yet. I guess that I know God will do it. Ha ha

The outreach I am apart of is in Red Bluff, which is half an hour south of where I’m at now. It’s a very new thing going on this couple, under Bethel, has started a local church in Red bluff. It’s a more house style church and they have been given like 3 houses to use already. Part of the team is connecting with a transitional woman’s housing and pouring into them. The rest of us will be out on the streets or a local coffee shop sharing the goodness of Jesus and loving people. It’s a very new thing. They have only had services there for a few weeks now. Yea new ground!

PLEASE READ ON. Ha ha! It gets better. This Monday I am heading with Bill Johnson and the rest of the team to Voice of the Apostles conference in Harrisburg PA. I so wanted to go before I decided to come to school and now I’m going as the ministry team. I will be leaving around 2am on Mon the 17^th and come back on Sat the 22^nd.

Ok now coming to a close with this awesome everything I’m up to and pray for me letter. I applied for the school mission’s trips already. They had us do it early this year. I don’t know where I will be going yet but they give you a top five. I chose going with my Revival Group leader Dickson to Central Asia as my first trip it’s to a more unreached people group area. Connecting with local pastors and all that. My Second choice is Sudan. That would be going back to where I was in Yei 2 years ago. My Third was Lebanon; sharing with muslims and bringing peace and reconciliation. One of these 3 is where I really want to go. I also chose South Africa and a trip to Redwood City California ministering to leaders as last choices. They are really expensive trips, $3600 to $2500  so pray for the recourses that God has in an abundance to connect with this vision and me.

Annika is also working and planning on helping my revival group leader (she interned with him before) as soon as she can get everything figured out. Pray for our continued connection emotionally and spiritually as we are doing a lot of different things. That is super important.

So you can see we have a lot to be prayed into. So whatever you feel on your heart to pray go for it.

Love you all, Nathan

I will connect more about life soon as I can. Also I will be sending out support letters if I can. There is a way to give tax deductible at https://www.ibssm.org/a/donate/missions/find-student. Just type in Nathan Rinear and feel free. Ha ha

It’s been over a year now since my wife Annika and I have been married. We were married in Lake Tahoe and it was in fact the best wedding there ever was (I am biased though) After our honeymoon in Mexico we traveled across country, driving through Las Vegas. We only stayed a night but by the end of our stay I couldn’t help but notice the discomfort and restlessness felt. I never had had a desire to come to Vegas but here we were, right in the heart of it. I remember talking with Annika after we left about how it wasn’t real restful and how I was glad to be out of there and on our way to the Grand Canyon.

But then I felt something in my heart and sensed the Lords gentle touch. Right then I asked the Lord to give me His heart for Las Vegas, not knowing that it wouldn’t be that long down the road till God was going to be sending us both back there. This time, not just to rest and relax but to take an active part of sharing the Kingdom of God together with a team from Redeeming Passion Ministries and Terra Nova Ministries.

I can’t say how much I enjoyed staying with Mike and Kathy Craft during our time in Vegas. It was the first time that Annika and I have traveled together on a ministry trip and it was such a great growing time for the both of us. I can say this time I felt Gods heart for Vegas and the surrounding areas while I was there.  The last night we were there we went down to the strip to see the fountain show at the Bellagio. It was amazing but even more so, the Love of God that I felt while there was so strong. I was seeing people and feeling their longing and brokenness so that I couldn’t even stay and finish watching the show. God first led me to a clown in a wheelchair to share His Love and Power. It seemed the Lord kept speaking words of life and healing to me, from then on, to share with people I ran into. I didn’t want to leave at all when we had to go on.

On our 3^rd evening in Vegas at the Harris Springs Ranch, I was feeling a little nervous for some reason. I was kind of frustrated that I felt that way because this was the main thing I was looking forward to coming to while being there.

As Kathy, Troy, James and I got our Instruments ready to worship I said to myself  “I’m going to go for it no matter what I feel”.  As we started to lead worship and I let my heart go in praise all the nervousness left and I felt so full of joy. God’s presence was thick in that room as we worshiped our King and Father God. Some of the guys were dancing and singing along, others just sitting there watching what was going on.

I shared a word on the Body and Blood of Jesus before we shared in communion together. Mike had a good word on the prodigal son and the Heart of the Father after we did a fun skit that demonstrated that whole story. We also showed a video of some of our guys from Redeeming Passion Ministries who have been set free from addictions. The guy sitting next to me started talking right away about how great that it is to be able to watch stories of victory from guys like them all the way on the other side of the country. He shared how he wanted to send a message back to them.

A time of personal ministry started seamlessly after sharing. God was opening Heaven over us there.  One after another we all prayed for different the guys. God was speaking words of hope and freedom to each one in a unique way. God kept showing me things to prophecy over them. It was like springs that were broken open.

All the guys stayed a half an hour or so later than the official end time because they all wanted to be prayed for and share their stories with us. They even got to record a response video to our guys here in Ohio at the end to encourage them as well. It was a wonderful time as we were all filled with joy after we left our brothers in Christ that night.

I could go on and on and tell how people received healing physically and spiritually as we ministered and led people in Worship to our Lord at the House of Prayer in Henderson; And how we were blessed and ministered to as we met together at the Crafts on our first day but it would take too long.  God is moving in Vegas even if with the natural eye you don’t always see it. Terra Nova Ministries is doing great things with the Lord in the area. I am so thankful to have been apart of sowing and of course the continuation of sowing into the work that God is doing in His land, Las Vegas Navada.

God’s presence brings light and things that are hidden come out. If we are afraid to come to that place its because our hearts have not really been perfected in love

During the last few months of being back (Well its only been over two months) God has been doing such great things with me and my wife. I cant say how great it has been.  Even though a lot of it doesn’t seem to be that huge stand out kinda stuff. God really spoke to us when we got in here from our trip across the country that He wanted us to remain in a place of sonship. Learn how to surrender as a child of God. Looking at Him as Daddy and receiving inheritance without the striving of a distant slave who doesn’t know The Fathers heart.

God has really been showing me that it is not in how much I do that I feel satisfied and find my worth. Its in Him and me being His son that I find that satisfaction in life. Its an all to easy thing for us all to find our worth in how much we did on the house this week or how well we did at work. It can even be how much we have done for the church or God. If we feel that we have done enough then we say to ourselves we are feeling good about ourselves.

Well I believe that God is in the process of pulling that kind of mindset out of the church. Jesus wants to come back to a pure spotless bride. We cant walk in purity if we haven’t learned how to receive yet. Everything that we have as Children of God we get as a gift. If we can not find satisfaction from what Jesus has done and know that He has made us worthy to be Children of the Most High then are satisfaction in life will be as fleeting as a gust of wind. One moment it is here the next it is gone.

Daddy has good gifts for you today. Faith is knowing He does and that receiveing it is that easy. You are loved fully in Jesus the Son of God. You in Him are made sons and daughters of God.  Receive Receive Receive and Rest in His unchanging Love. It will empower you to Rise above this world.

Hey Anybody who reads this sometimes! I have been busy getting married and making a new life with a wife. Yea its awesome. I would love to share some stuff of what God is doing with us but I will have to get back to that when I have some time.

Much Love from Daddy God!!!!

Wow so much is going! Just of last week I got test results for staff infection and the like. It came back negative!!! Such a powerful testimony of how the Lord has healed my body. It has been a long hard struggle with staff but Im so happy to say that Jesus Christ is more powerful! I took medication and all that but I got healed when people joined around me in prayer and I encountered the presence of God.

Another awesome thing coming up is the wedding. Yes, next week I will be a married man! Me and Annika making a life covenant on Sat the 14. God has been such a blessing to us (like he always is) as we have been planning everything. God has abundantly blessed us and we are almost done a very little stress wedding planning. God’s favor and grace have been all over Annika and I as we have prepared together our wedding. Not only us but those who have been working so hard to make this time an enjoyable planning experience for us.

I am so excited to give my life away not only to God but also the woman of my dreams!!! THis is such an awesome time in our lives.

One last thing, I know Ive been jumping around and all that in my writing but Im excited. I just wanted to share one last testimony for now. Over a week ago me and Annika were out walking down the street to the place that we are getting married. I saw this guy walking along with his dog. The last time I saw this guy he was hooked up to a oxygen tank and had a bunch of tubs from his nose, me and Annika had prayed for his full healing. I started talking to him telling him how good he was looking. He told me that not only did his one lung collapse (that is what we prayed for healing for him before) but he had stage three cancer. Then the last test that was done on him showed no sign of cancer whatsoever! Praise Jesus! He revealed Himself to to this guy. Praise Jesus!

Whoever is reading this I love you so much. God wants to sing over you right now and bring healing life and joy to your heart and body. OK that just came out as I was typing along. SO it must be for you from Daddy God.

Back in Lake Tahoe area again after my two weeks on the east coast. I had such a blessed time spending that time with family and one of those weeks in NC on the beach with most of the redeeming passion crew. It was such a refreshing time and a good time of ministering to each other. God really showed up and touched my body that was feeling some- what worn down.

I have been struggling with health things most of the year since being in Sudan. I picked up some staff infection and maybe a few other things. But I want to say God is so good and faithful. Just before heading out to OH I went to Redding CA where I went to school. Its a place of God’s presence and healing. I went to the healing rooms they had there and got prayer from everyone that would pray for me which is anyone that heard I needed healing.

Prier to this I had felt ok for a bit but then a boil started breaking out again from the staff infection. It didnt feel good at all and I was feeling pretty discouraged. I felt totally out of it by the time I made it up to redding. I was staying with one of my best friends there. Oh my I was so blessed by the prayers of faith that I recieved and all the rest I got. I came back to Tahoe two days later feeling the presence of GOd all over me. I didnt have anymore pain and the boil thing was gone or I couldnt feel it any more. It was not only my physical body that felt better but mind, emotions and spirit that were all lifted and focosed. YEA GOD!!!

He is always good. I would love continued prayer for full strenght and energy throughout my whole body. Daddy is so good and I want to pass on this story to anyone that is suffering from sickness, if its terminal or just something youve had for a while Jesus’ will is to heal you! Recieve it, get people around you that believe that and have them pray for you. God is in the buisness of healing; body soul and spirit.

Hello everyone,

Wow its been to long since I got on here. I have such a hard time blogging when Im back in the states I dont know what it is but its some kinda block that I have to get over. Ha

Right now Im sitting at my aunts and uncles in San Jose watching my grandmother and my cousins while the parent are out at some work meetings. Im excited about what God is doing and what is going on with me and my fiance…yes that is right me and Annika are now engaged and settting everything up for are wedding date which is now set as Nov 14th 2009. Yea! God has totally set things up for us and the time of waiting to move forward has left us behind.

Ive been working a good bit here lately and making money for all that. God has also been drawing my hear t to his. He keeps showing me over and over again that I dont have enough and that I need to stir up my hunger for him over and over again.

I hope to get  on here and write some cool testimonies of things God has done since I was here…soooon

And we know that God causes ALL things to work together for GOOD to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)

Over the last month God has shown this to be so true to me. Since the last time that I sent our an update God has done so much. Also I have been really attacked at the same time and have been sick probably half of that time since then. God is so faithful in the midst of it all. I remember about 2 weeks back I was going to preach at a church the next morning and I couldn’t fall asleep as I was laying on my bed. My body was sweating and then quickly turning into to cold chills. As I laid there frustrated and annoyed Jesus came to me and was releasing heavenly visions in the midst of it all. One of those visions was a word for the church that I was going to share in the next morning.
As I woke up that morning I felt like I had malaria, I decided nothing was going to stop me from going. I felt in complete and total dependency upon God. And that’s the best place to be. As I shared that morning the love of the Father came into the place and was changing lives. I was even touched…really by what the Holy Spirit gave me to say.
Its amazing how God was able to take that time that the enemy was trying to take me out and use it to speak to me what He wanted me to share. God is so so faithful.

I know that sickness is not of God. Jesus clearly showed us that through healing all those who were oppressed by the devil. Praise God! Right now I am finally feeling strong and back to full energy again. I thank God and each one of you that have been praying for me. The healing has come.

One evening recently I was gathering with some of the guys in the house/office that I’m staying in right now. ( Yea God I’m not in a tent anymore. I’ve upgraded to a house). We were studying about the Holy Spirit and His baptism for us together. The Holy Spirit was showing up just as we talked about Him and what He does. I don’t know if you know the time where Gods presence is thick and you don’t want to say anything or move cause it is so deep. But that is what happened there, we just started praying and then a silence fell over us all and no one was talking for a while. Its not a common thing in this culture to be spending time with God and being completely quite. I was really blown away by it. I had a few times were my mind was like move on, I’m so glad I didn’t try to rush God because It was so good and so deep. God spoke to me there and said I am doing things in you all Right Now that will effect your future and mold you for your destiny. Wow! When the time came I shared that and we continued in the presence of the Holy Spirit. I felt the Holy Spirit tell me that one of the guys had something to share. Right before I asked him if he did he said I feel God is telling me that we need to continue studying His word and taking time like this together.
What an awesome time we had. Just a little bit later some other guys got home from school. One of them came over to me and said, “I’m annoyed right now and do you want to know why? I’ve been waiting all day to have a bible study with you and you have had one before we all got back”. I said don’t worry Amoli we can have another one together this evening. He was like “oh that is ok then. You know we like the word of God here“. Later that evening we gathered around the camp fire and continued the Study on the Holy Spirit and His works. Oh man it was a Holy Spirit party. The guys and girls were praying in the Holy Spirit and laughter and joy were breaking out. God really loves His people.

I’ve just gotten back from Arua Uganda were I went for a few days to withdraw money and rest just a bit. God did refresh me and I got to eat a burger with bacon on it and swim in a pool while I was there. Isn’t that awesome!  That for sure wasn’t the best part of the trip though. The second night I was there I had just eaten at a Indian restaurant and was heading out when some guy there asked me something. I was called back cause I had forgotten my water bottle. At that time I felt led to stay there and not leave. So I got a chair and sat down with them and talked. God opened up doors to share with this one guy named Dharmesh about Jesus and the life He brings. It was amazing how the conversation started and how open he was. He told me; thanks so much for sharing this. I needed to hear that. He said he was going to go get a Bible tomorrow. I prayed for him and the Holy Spirit touched him deeply right there. I went back to my hotel and couldn’t stop praying for him. I asked God please let me meet him tomorrow. Well guess what God did! The next day I was going to buy a few things and was walking down the street. One of the guys who I was talking with last night walked up to me and said come here to my friends place. He brought me inside this shop and there was Dharmesh. Wow! I was able to continue sharing Jesus love and salvation with him showing him from God’s word what it means to be saved. He said at first “I’m confused how do I do it.” I shared with him that its faith from the heart in Jesus Christ and what He has done. Right there as he was working in the shop he prayed with me to receive the eternal gift of God and repent of his sins. Yea! Another sinner has repented and found eternal life, now no longer a sinner but a child of God. Please pray for him whenever you think about him. I also am so blessed by all your prayers and support. I’m getting ready to head back to the States in around a week now. God bless you all!
