Greetings Friends,

THE TRIP

I leave for Mozambique via Atlanta and South Africa, tomorrow morning. It's a trip I take with the knowledge that God has ordained it and He will take care of our family and the ministry. I do ask for your prayers for God's hand to be on me and our team, as well as the family at home. I received a phone call this morning from a prophetic friend who shared that this trip has a special purpose and that I am in His perfect will. That was encouraging. Every trip is different and full of surprises.

The most exciting thing about this trip is the wonderful group of fifteen friends that are going with me. They are a passionate, bunch who love Jesus with all their hearts. Pray that they will see some amazing miracles and fall in love with God and His children in a greater way than ever. Pray that we will all be a tremendous blessing to Iris Ministries.

MEETINGS

We had a wonderful time at the Bloomingdale FGBM meeting on Monday night. A special anointing fell on us as we ministered along with our team to a very crowded room of hungry people. We also heard a testimony of a healing that had happened after we prayed for the leader on our previous visit in the Spring. It was a very encouraging night.

Thursday night we ministered in Rockford to a group from Life Church in Rockford. We were expecting about 10 or 12 people. But the word got out and we ended up ministering to about thirty people instead. There were some very special people, including younger children and they all seemed to be touched by the Lord.

After returning home from Africa on August 3rd, I will be spending as much time as possible working on my book project, but we will have time to take some meetings before we head for Florida to minister at a House of Hope Conference which begins on August 21.

DONNA

Our dear friend, Donna, is home again and being cared for by her family as well as members of our team, including, Jill Ruh, an R. N., and Jessie Seiler, our intern. She is back in an atmosphere of faith after being in an environment that was simply preparing her to die. Please pray for her now more than ever. Her miracle could be just a prayer away. Cancer is NOTmore powerful than the God we pray to.

EMAIL

I should have email service in Mozambique if you need to get in touch with me. Thanks to all who have been part of our support team. We especially appreciate it when we are away from home on missions trips.

Many blessings to you all,

Ben, Brenda, family and team

Greetings Saints,

It's been a couple of weeks since our last letter. So much has happened since then, but I want to let you know what's coming up so you can pray for us.

FGBM

Monday, July 14, we minister at the Bloomingdale Full Gospel Business Men's meeting - all are invited. We start at 7:30. Location is the clubhouse at the Bloomingdale Golf Course located near the corner of Glen Ellyn and Lake Street (Hwy 20). Please pray and come if you can.

MOZAMBIQUE

We have another meeting or two scheduled with various leaders later in the week and then on Saturday I leave for Mozambique once again. Please pray for me and our team of fifteen on-fire folk - most of them young adults and teens. Pray for our family left behind. They have schedules of their own and need God's grace to carry on.

DONNA

Doctors have done all they can. Now it's time for the Great Physician to do what only He can do. Will you make your appeal for her before the courts of Heaven. Her body is shutting down from cancer and the radical treatments she has undergone in recent days.

OPEN HEART EXPANDED HOUSE FELLOWSHIP GATHERINGS

Our team has been busy planning a fall schedule of network gatherings. If you are in the Chicago area and want to fellowship with us and our team, please let us know and we'll get the info to you. We plan to meet the first and third Sunday of every month and the second and fourth Thursday of each month. Meetings will include training in deliverance and inner healing, as well as worship and the Word.

REVIVAL

So many responded to our invitation to join the list of those who want to be informed when revival meetings are held. We have been meeting with some pastors and hunger for revival is increasing. Some churches have been seeing unusual things and great hunger in their churches.

THE CALL

TheCall D.C. will attract around a million people calling on God for revival and forgiveness for America. The date is August 16. If you can make it, please do.

To all Chicago area pastors. Che Ahn told us that if we could get around 100 pastors who would support a Call in northern Illinois, they would probably come. If you are a pastor or you can represent yours and want to do this, please let me know. I believe there are far more than 100 that would help support it.

CHICAGO SENDING CENTER

We met on Saturday with a small group who have a vision to send provision to Africa. God is refining our concept of the Sending Center. We believe God will give us a facility very soon and we can begin training people and sending them into the harvest field.

NEW BOOK

I haven't written a new book in over a year, but I am quite busy now, working on one that may be the most important thing I have ever done for the Kingdom. It is not my own book but I am writing it on behalf of someone else. We are hoping to release it well before the end of the year. I can't share much more about it at this time, but I would so appreciate your prayers for me for Heaven's anointing as I write.

Please remember to pray for all the items above. We appreciate you so much. Your prayers and support of all kinds keep us going. We have such a wonderful team.

That's all for now. God bless you abundantly,

Ben, Brenda, Family and TEAM

MORE LORD!!!

Greetings Saints,

What a spiritual feast we had for five days in Deerfield, Illinois, at the Chicago River Conference. And what an honor it was to minister at the same conference with James Goll, Che Ahn and Charles Stock. The apostolic and prophetic anointing was so strong and people were powerfully touched. Many were healed and filled with the joy of the Lord. The love of God was revealed through the people and the speakers. We were especially touched by the passion of 25-30 Korean youth. These kids were so on fire and hungry for more.

As usual, wherever Brenda was, a line would form and she ministered until they had to get us out of the building. She also spoke with a powerful anointing in the two sessions when we ministered. I am married to a truly amazing woman of God!!!

James Goll delivered two of the most powerful and impacting messages I have heard in a long time. We were deeply moved by the Friday morning message, teaching on the resurrection of Lazarus, regarding the prayer that God hears. It was truly awesome and while he talked about his own wife's battle with cancer, I knew God was touching our friend, Donna. I just found out that she is doing much better than expected. Please pray for more healing virtue to flow into her body and that no new tumors would appear anywhere in her body. Thank you so much for your prayers and intercession.

CHICAGO REVIVAL NETWORK

If you live in the Chicago area and would like to be notified regarding gatherings for revival fire in this region, please respond and I'll send your email address to some folk who are compiling a mailing list for revival.

Thank you all for your prayers and support for this ministry. We are so grateful for God's provision and protection on us and our family.

God bless you all,

Ben, Brenda, family and team
