Ministry Update 3-3-07 Ben Peters Mar 3, 2007

Greetings everyone,

I want to start off by saying how much Brenda and I appreciate our amazing ministry team. They have worked tirelessly and donated hours of sacrificial service, personal finances and moral support to us month after month. They have accomplished major miracles, namely getting Brenda and me somewhat organized. They have also kept books, communicated with other leaders, prophesied for hours, designed and printed brochures, worked my book tables and shared their testimonies and much more. Thanks so much all of you! I won't mention any names lest I miss some of you. You will be rewarded in this life or the next. So far all your rewards have been "out of this world."

Thanks also to those who have supported us with your words of encouragement and kindness. We have also been blessed by some who have been able to help us with financial support. We are extremely grateful to you all. God has used you to save us from many a potential disaster. May God meet all your needs and encourage you as you have encouraged us.

BUSY LIFE CONTINUES

We had many wonderful divine appointments and ministry opportunities while in Florida for a week. We shared a couple of times at the IAM Convening in Dover and then we headed for Orlando to the House of Hope, led by our very special friend, Sara Trullinger. We ministered in a wonderful church on Sunday morning and then Sara treated us to an afternoon and evening at Disney World. Brenda had really wanted to go, but had given it up as it didn't seem like it was going to happen. Then Sara gave us free passes to any and all of the various parks. It was a fun afternoon and evening together.

Since getting back to Illinois we have been busy catching up on things at home. Brenda has been working with our team doing a ladies retreat at Freeport, Illinois, for the last two days. While she was doing that, I began to write another book that was prophesied in Florida by a new friend from Oregon. It's a book on how to write a book. Almost everywhere we go people have books waiting to be birthed by they don't ever get around to writing them. Writing books has become so much easier these days and God has a lot of information and creativity He wants to release to His church. I want to help people produce their dream.

OUR AUSTRALIAN FAMILY IS BACK WITH US

Many people earlier expressed interest in having the Adams family for meetings. They are more than ready to bless any group or church that has open dates that fit into their schedule. Brenda and I highly recommend them. God has already used them greatly and our team loves them. They are back from a trip to Abbotsford, B.C., and Kansas City, Missouri and ready to serve again in the Midwest. They minister with us this weekend on Friday and Saturday and then at Geneva, Illinois for two services on Sunday. Brenda and I will minister at the Chicago River Church on Sunday morning at Trinity University.

EVER INCREASING GLORY CONFERENCE - APRIL 3 - 6 at CHURCH IN THE WORD in Elgin, Illinois

This looks like the most amazing conference ever. Our speakers and worship leaders all carry an unusual anointing. You may not have heard of some of them, but I guarantee that they will bless your socks off. You can find the details and brochure on our website: www.ohmint.org on the conference link. You can load the brochure and print as many copies as you like.

MISSIONS PREP 101 IS SHAPING UP FOR APRIL AND MAY FOR AFRICA AND ISRAEL

These sessions are open to everyone, but we do require them for those wishing to go with us to Mozambique or Israel. The classes for Mozambique will be April 13 and 14 and April 27 and 28. The actual trip will begin about July 13 and last about 10 days. Those wanting to go to Israel at the end of September need to attend the April 27 and 28 session as well as May 11 and 12.

We would love to hear from you if you are interested in either of these trips. If you have written previously, please write again as we may have lost track of your previous letter.

OTHER UPCOMING EVENTS

This week will find us doing a variety of private meetings. On Friday and Saturday we will be doing a private retreat for the Chicago River Church, but the Sunday morning service will be public. Saturday evening will be a home group in Fox Lake, Illinois. The following Monday, March 12, we will be doing a public meeting in Bloomingdale for the Bloomingdale Full Gospel Businessmen's Fellowship. It will be open to all.

That's all for now. Have a great Sunday with Jesus! We love you all!

Ben, Brenda, Tim, Nathan and our awesome team
