Dear Friends,

We've never been this way before!  God is doing a NEW thing.  What a powerful visitation we had from the Lord this past week!!!  God put together the speakers He wanted here and He did such an amazing work in us.  Special thanks to Tracy Dorn and the dozens of volunteers she recruited and organized.  We had the best run and the most powerful conference ever.  We have it captured on DVD and CD and is available to anyone that couldn't be there and to those that didn't get their sets during the conference.  We will share more at the end of the letter.

Nancy Majeira, leader of HUB Ministries, shared a few words at our conference and last night she had me share at their HUB meeting with Georgian Banov.  We made a pledge of unity to work together to bring more of the fire of God to the Chicagoland region.  It was a powerful time of rededicating our ministries to God and His Kingdom in the Chicagoland region.

Back to our Heal Your Body, Lord Conference.  Every speaker was alive with the most powerful anointing I have ever seen on them.  James Goll, a leading prophet in the land, started us off with tremendous energy and a powerful prophetic word for many of us that really gave us a major head start in the conference.  Brenda and I were given very accurate and extremely encouraging words through this man who did not know us at all.  He came because Che Ahn asked him to, and God told him to say "yes".

From a powerful beginning, momentum only increased.  With Georgian Banov leading worship most of the first two days, we entered into a special place from the first night on.  The sweetness of Jesus' presence was more intense than I have ever felt before.  When Georgian spoke on Thursday night, it was one of the most off-the-charts meetings I have ever attended.  This is one wild and energetic man of God, who can get his message across in a way you can't forget.  YOU HAVE TO GET THE DVD!!!  This message must be SEEN, not just heard.  You'll know what I mean when you see it.

Dr. Che Ahn shares with tremendous apostolic wisdom, but he also spoke with the most powerful anointing I have ever witnessed on him.  The testimonies and wisdom revelation he shared in his three sessions were outstanding and on Friday night we had dozens of people reporting physical healings and several people accepted the Lord as Savior.  There was tremendous joy and rejoicing in the house that night.

Bobby Conner brought the right flavor for the topping on the cake.  With his prophetic clarity and unique humor, it was a recipe for dessert after the rest of the banquet.  He prophesied spiritual winds and fire to fall in the Chicagoland region and miracles in unexpected places.  We love this friendly giant.

In addition to Georgian Banov, we had a wonderful team of worshippers to help lead us into the presence of God.  Rick Cornwall and a team made up of Elgin House of Prayer worshippers and a few others moved us deeper into the heart of God.  On Saturday the worship team from Eagle Rock Fellowship in Peru, IL, led us with their unique and powerful brand of worship.

Not everything went perfect and some people may have struggled with a variety of issues, but we know that we met with our God in a most unusual way.  We give Jesus praise and honor for visiting us and giving us vision and strength for the future.

My brand new book - RESURRECTION - A MANUAL FOR RAISING THE DEAD arrived on Thursday and we did a book signing along with Che Ahn on Friday and Bobby Conner on Friday.  I believe we sold about 50 of the new books in those two days, with orders for more also coming in.  

Brenda and I shared the Saturday afternoon session and God gave me more revelation as we shared on raising the dead from the story of Elisha.  Brenda was amazing, as usual, in what she shared with the crowd.  

One of the greatest miracles for us was the fact that Che Ahn took up a special offering for us for our trip to Africa.  We felt that Brenda and I and our son, Timothy, were to go this summer, but we didn't have the funds and the deadline was here.  We were waiting for a miracle.  When the offering was taken, we were in shock with the love that people showed to us and when the offering was counted, there was more than enough for the trip and also for many other expenses we were dealing with.  We are so very greatful to God and the hundreds of people who sacrificed for us and God's Kingdom.  May you all be quickly rewarded with your own needs of every kind being met with a miracle of God.

We are able to give a discount on the DVD and CD sets for those who don't have them yet.  We will ship for free in the USA.  Canadians please add $5.00 for shipping and 10% for exchange.  The ten DVD's will go for $75 U.S., and the CD's for $40.00.  Individual sessions will be $10.00 for DVD's and $5.00 for CD's.  Some worship sessions are also available, including one session with Georgian Banov.  

We now get ready for a flurry of home meetings before we head for Washington State and the wedding of our beautiful daughter, Andrea, to her handsome prince, Harvey Smith, from Calgary.  Both our daughters have followed in their mother's footsteps and married internationally.  It is always our desire to promote unity and international relationships.  Our children seem to have picked up the banner.  Even our son's wife, who is American, grew up in the Philippines with her missionary parents.

This letter is too long, but we are so full of things to share right now.  May you all experience God in a powerful way this week, and may you be healed and set free and motivated to share the love of Jesus with as many people as you can.

We love you all so much!

Ben and Brenda, Tim and Nathan
