Greetings Saints,

THANKS FOR YOUR PRAYERS FOR BRENDA

Brenda feels like her weekend of ministry was very blessed by God.  He showed up at every service in a powerful way and she had the strength to pour out the love of Jesus on scores of people in the three services she ministered in.  We know your prayers made the difference.  Brenda has today to spend with her parents and our daughters and grandchildren.  

Tomorrow Brenda goes to Seattle to catch her flight back to Chicago.  Wednesday we minister at a home in Lake Zurich and Saturday and Sunday we minister in Dixon at the Dixon Foursquare Church - 103 E Morgan St.  Please keep praying for us.  We feel the need for increased intercession as God takes us to new levels of opportunities and challenges.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to minister in a couple of homes and build relationships with some wonderful friends.  It was a very special time for me.


NEW BOOK UPDATE

On Sunday morning, I put the finishing touches on my new book - RESURRECTION - A MANUAL FOR RAISING THE DEAD, and sent it to my friend Jeff Doles to format it.  Pray for him that he would find it easy to design the cover and format the book quickly.  I am hoping to have the first printing before the conference is over.  Carole Robbins, who proof-reads my books and catches all my little boo-boos, shared that the truths revealed in the manuscript really touched her and she is excited about what God will do with this book.  

Would you pray for an anointing to go with this book and for it to reach a bigger audience in God's timing.  I believe that when people understand the truths expressed in this book, it will revolutionize the church and the Kingdom.  

HEAL YOUR BODY, LORD CONFERENCE

It's almost here and people are contacting us from everywhere for information.  There is no registration so come early.  Jim Goll will start us off on Wednesday, May 24th.  He will also speak Thursday morning.  Georgian Banov will be leading worship Wednesday and Thursday and speaking Thursday night.  Che Ahn will speak Thursday afternoon and Friday morning and evening.  Bobby Conner will speak Friday afternoon and Saturday morning and evening.  Brenda and I will minister on Saturday afternoon.  I think we'll have a surprise or two for you also.

VOLUNTEERS STILL NEEDED

A number of people have responded to our cries for help.  We still need more, especially in the child care department, but in other areas as well.  We welcome you to contact Tracy Dorn at teej1265@yahoo.com.

BROCHURES ARE STILL AVAILABLE

You can also write Tracy to ask for brochures, either by email or regular mail.  You can save us some expense if you print extras yourself.

Thanks for all your love and prayers and support.  We are so much more effective with you than without you.

PRAY FOR OUR AFRICA TRIP

We are waiting on God for everything to fall into place for us to go back to Mozambique the end of June.  We still need some breakthroughs, so we do appreciate your prayers for this.

We love you all,

Ben and Brenda, Tim and Nathan
