An Invitation

Dear Friends,

TRANSITION TIME
God is moving on His people and breathing new life into His body. He has us in transition as a reminder that His church is in transition into a place of knowing and using our inherited authority and power as His children, His Bride and His body on this earth. Our enemy has no weapons that will work against a people who know who they really are and who have moved into an intimate relationship with the Living God.

Our transition is still going on. House-wise, we have transitioned into a beautiful home in Lake Zurich, which we are house-sitting for our friends. Our daughter and family have moved into our house in South Beloit. We are also transitioning on the inner man, as we are being ministered to by a disciple of John Sandford of the Elijah House Ministries. We are learning how our childhood has molded our ways of relating to others and life itself. We are getting a deeper healing so we can help others come into a deeper healing themselves.

All this transition is to prepare us to trust God for so much more than we have in the past. I hear God saying that "The lid is coming off." The steam pressure in the pan will blow the lid off so that we can see what God has been cooking up for us.

MINISTRY THIS PAST WEEK
Last Wednesday evening, we had a very special time at The Well in Algonquin. God met us and kept us ministering until almost midnight again. People are hungry!!!

On Saturday, we had the privilege of joining Theresa Ferguson and Craig Kelly in marriage in Genoa, Illinois. It was an outdoor wedding, which was conducive to a more informal ceremony. That was fortunate, as I had to spread my suit jacket in front of the candle table in order for them to light the unity candle because of the wind. I also got some good laughs when I said, "Place the ringer on her finger." That was, of course, not intentional, but not the first time I've said that. Brenda joined our ministry team in the kitchen, serving and decorating the cake. Again, we were there quite late.

Our visit to Heritage Church with Pastor Jerry Ruff on Sunday morning, was another wonderful experience. We felt such love from God for their people and from them as well. There was again a very strong anointing on the ministry.

Please check our itiinerary on our website: www.ohmint.org for future events, including our big conference on October 24 - 27.

God bless you all,
Ben, Brenda, family and team
