OPEN HEART MINISTRIES
15648 Bombay Blvd
South Beloit, IL 61080


Dear Saints,

We continue to experience God's increasing presence and power as we go to the various places He calls us to.  This past week was another high point in our lives as Jesus revealed His love to so very many hungry people.

Last Sunday we ministered at The Worship Center in Dixon, IL.  What a precious time we had with Pastor Cole and his congregation!  We had several team members with us that helped us minister to the good-sized crowd.  While we prophesied to a lady, we sensed a need for physical healing.  Her bad knee was instantly healed.  She began to jump on it without pain, which she hadn't done in two years.  God was touching so many people in so many ways, we left in awe of our God.

The Chicago Prayer Furnace invited us to share at their Thursday night gathering and again we were blessed to minister to a packed house.  We felt such a sweet and powerful anointing again while we spoke and when we prophesied.  We were joined at the front by many Prayer Furnace team members, who helped us get done before midnight.  The atmosphere of that place was so pregnant with revival that we were able to release more than normal of God's anointing.

Friday night we met in Woodstock, IL, and were blessed with a sweet and intimate night of ministry.  It was so good to touch bases with some very special friends again.  Again the anointing was unusual and very precious.  There was such a grateful and thankful spirit in the group and we went home feeling very privileged and blessed.

We are preparing for our journey with our Elgin House of Prayer team.  We will minister in Henderson, Kentucky and Paragould, Arkansas.  Then our family will go on to Idabell, Oklahoma, before heading for Florida for our IAM Convening near Tampa Bay.

Pray for the possibility of our late Spring conference or conferences.  We still might get Bobby Conner and we should have Che Ahn plus another speaker or two.  We are working hard to line everything up, so please pray that all the right doors open for what God wants to do here.

We are busy getting out the 2005 receipts for those who gave to OHM in 2005.  Please let us know if your records are not the same as ours, or if you need a receipt and don't get one.  

That's all for now!

God bless you all,

Ben and Brenda and family
