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
