Pray For Ingela
Ben Peters
May 23, 2007

Greetings Saints,

We have been asked to pray for our dear friend, Ingela Larsson right now. She was a speaker at our last conference and is under some very heavy pressure at the moment. There are some complicated legal situations in the U.K., and there are some heavy pressures where she is right now in Dubai. She is with very powerful leaders of that region and is not sleeping much. She is very exhausted with huge decisions to make.

Remember to keep praying for Vance and Lisa in Israel. Pray that Jihad Ramadam would see his first miracles preformed by Jesus and receive him as Savior and Lord. He is the young leader of a large Palestinian refugee camp in Bethlehem.

Thanks for praying,

Ben

Urgent Prayer Request May 22/07
Ben Peters
May 22, 2007

Greetings Saints,

No time for a newsy letter, but had to get this out.

PALESTINIAN LEADER ON THRESHOLD OF CONVERSION

A young leader of the Palestinian Refugee Camp in Bethlehem has told our friends Vance Murphy and Lisa Bourland, that if God heals anyone in his camp tomorrow, he will become a Christian. His name is Jihad Ramadam. They have been witnessing to him often and he has great influence there. He will take them into the camp and bring them to the sick people there. We would like everyone praying tonight. They are 7-10 hours ahead of the USA in time, so pray this evening and again in the early morning. I have no doubt people will be healed. Revival is just around the bend.

GREAT BLESSINGS IN KENOSHA, WISCONSIN

God touched many hearts and many learned to access Heaven and speak encouraging words to others in our Prophetic Ministry Conference in Kenosha last weekend. We have heard some great testimonies and were greatly blessed.

NEXT CONFERENCE ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND

If you haven't planned your Labor Day weekend yet, think about joining us in Kenosha, Wisconsin, near Lake Michigan, just north of Chicago, We have awesome people coming to ignite revival. It will be our greatest time ever. We'll tell you more later.

WE'RE KEEPING BUSY

Last night we recorded three Chicago area TV programs for their public access cable channel 36. One program was live and the others will air in the next six weeks.

We have a very busy schedule before heading for western Canada next Tuesday. Please pray for us as often as you remember us. We need more of God.

ENVELOPES ANYONE?

Some folk have felt let to support Open Heart Ministries on a monthly basis. A friend in Molene, Illinois, was so kind as to print return envelopes for us. If anyone would like a supply of these to save you writing our address out, please let us know and we will send them out to you.

We love you all in Jesus,

Ben and Brenda, family and team

Holy Spirit moves in Molene, and Iowa City
Ben Peters
May 17, 2007

Greetings Friends,

PLOWING NEW TERRITORY IN PROPHETIC MINISTRY

We're so grateful for God's amazing grace. He carries us when we get tired and fights for us when we get weary in the battle. Going into new territory where many have never seen our flavor of ministry, we often find a resistance in the atmosphere. Those with extra sensitive spiritual antennae sometimes feel the warfare very intensely. Both in Molene and in Iowa City, our hosts were taking risks in inviting us, but their desparation for a greater freedom for the Holy Spirit to move led them to invite our team to minister there.

God was totally up to the challenge, as always, and showed Himself strong on their behalf. We really feel that God did something in the atmosphere in both cities and that it's also like a shaking in the earth - an underground tsunami that will have reprocussions for years to come. Our team was amazing. So many came and sacrificed their time and money to share and prophesy with us for many hours. Our schedule was kind of crazy with meetings, Monday night and Tuesday morning in Molene, Tuesday afternoon and evening in Iowa City, and then again Wednesday morning in Molene. That included over an hour drive between the two cities each way coming and going. We were quite exhausted when we finally got home.


COMING CONFERENCE IN EARLY JUNE

We're happy to announce an exciting conference, running June 1, 2, called GOD'S GLORIOUS PURPOSE, hosted by our good friend, Damon Stuart. Along with Damon and Terri Delany, Damon is bringing in Peggy Cole and Jean Warner, who have prophetic and miracle ministries. Sadly, for us, we will be in Alberta, Canda, on those dates, but we invite all our friends in the Chicago area to enjoy this special time. The location is the Northwest Assembly of God Church in Arlington Heights. For all the details please visit www.damonstuart.com.


PRAYER SUPPORT PLEASE

God has given us a huge vision, much bigger than we could ever figure out how to accomplish, but we are already seeing miraculous signs, such as a team that is growing almost daily, willing to serve sacrificially day after day, week after week. Just meeting the financial needs of our ministry and family with all the travel, etc., is a miracle. But of course, to really see the Chicago Sending Center become a reality, God will have to show off a bit more of His power. Please join us in faith to believe for that.

Also, please pray for daily strength and the ability to hear and obey God's voice regarding our schedule. We are planning trips to Canada, Nashville, Africa, Israel and Asia this year. We need to know when and who, etc.


BIG PRAISE REPORT

One of our dear friends, named Donna, who had cancer with a large protruding tumor, was given a report today that there was no other cancer in her body. They just need to remove the one tumor. This is a major miracle and does not make sense in the natural. Rejoice with us and Donna's family. Thank you, Jesus!

We so appreciate every spiritual partner that has joined forces with us for the Kingdom. Know that your rewards are out of this world and bigger than life, itself. Thank you all so very much.

We love you!

Ben, Brenda, family and team

On the Road Again
Ben Peters
May 2, 2007

Hi Saints,

We're east of Cleveland, Ohio, en route to New York State. We appreciate your prayers for the journey and the beginning of the Ladies' Advance in Valatie, NY, tomorrow night. Pray for the activation of many ladies into their destiny and spiritual gifts. Also pray for the Saturday morning when I speak to the men and the Sunday morning service.

After Valatie, we go to Albany, where we will minister with Dr. Bob and Peter Whitehouse.

IMPORTANT POLITICAL EVENT THURSDAY NIGHT ON MSNBC

I am hoping to be able to watch the first Republican Presidential Debate. I am very interested in the Senator from Kansas, as many prophetic people are believing Samual Brownback should be our next president. We are also hearing from another voice that it will be Mayor Juliani. We want God's will, but we must do our part and pray and know who to vote for. The debate is on prime time and we encourage you to watch if you are not too busy.

God bless you all,

Ben and Brenda, family and team
