Welcome Wallace

We have a van! So... here's the story:

We had a couple people tell us they knew of vans in the east coast and in Denver, but all vehicles people thought would not be able to make the coast-to-coast trip. So we would be left with a little air-travel in the middle, and more than a few inconvenient stops to return vans, costing us $$$.

So we felt to wait. We just asked the LORD to provide a van (because sometimes we just haven't asked Him, when He wants us to), and the night after doing so, Andrew was sitting with Haley at the Banyan Tree Cafe', and after praying again for direction that morning Haley says "Why don't we check Craig's list in Boston?" ...of course! So we do. First car under $2,000 was a 1998 Dodge Conversion Van... so we sent it to Papa York (along with 2 other options) at 10 or so Hawaii time, to check it out, the only thing was it was in New Hampshire, about 40 minutes away from our contact.

Meanwhile... Elizabeth feels that the LORD is saying that I was going to get a call around 12:30 that Andrew would get a call about a van, and tells him this. Hmmm...

1:19pm Hawaii time... Andrew gets a call from his Dad saying it seems like a great deal, but we would have to get someone to check it out. The only person in Boston we know is a girl we've never met. Long shot - but we call her and ask if there's ANYWAY she could go to a place called Plaistow to check out a van for us. She says "I drive through there all the time, I can do that for you!" ...no way.

Today... actually about an hour ago, after a little bargaining, "Wallace the tabernacle" (named by Matt Scap and Erica) joined the AWAKEN family... thank you Jesus.

We All See in Part

Check out our 'Team' and 'Feedback Form' tabs!

We are pretty sure we have a vehicle for the West Coast leg of the journey, but still holding out for a vehicle for the East Coast venture... please let us know if you have anything! Also check out the 'Team' tab to partner with individuals and support the visions!

9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. - 1 Cor. 13

The 'Feedback Form' give you the chance to voice what questions YOU would be asking, and a chance to answer the questions that will be asked on the tour. We also want to know if there's anywhere you would go if you were in our shoes. ...because we want to see what you see.

We Need a Van!

One of the things we're believing God for is a vehicle to take us from coast to coast! So if you know of anything (preferably closer to the east coast, more specifically Boston) that would work for a group of 7 with luggage, please let us know by emailing us at awakennations@gmail.com - we need if before the 1st of February...thanks!

Ready to Ride


On the heels of one of the most amazing years we've had as individuals & corporately, and having some time to rest and process, AWAKEN is now gearing up to travel from Coast-to-Coast to see, hear and be a part of the ways God's moving in America. Stay tuned for our itinerary, posts, pictures, and video as we travel across the states gaining perspective and participating with God's kingdom.
