Greetings Friends,

SEPTEMBER SCHEDULE

We had a great home meeting in Arlington Heights last Friday and will be doing a couple more private meetings in the next two weeks in different locations. The rest of the time I will be trying to finish the book that I'm working on. Since I began in July, by God's grace, I have written over 45,000 words. I'm probably about two-thirds complete.

Our next public service will be Sunday afternoon, September 14, at 2 pm at the Church of the Firstborn. The address is: 1938 W. 51st St. Chicago, IL.

After that we will do another private meeting on Monday and then we begin the Elgin Revival meetings on Thursday, September 18. We will have Vance Murphy from Atlanta on the first two nights and our youth team on Saturday. The host church is Eagles Nest on Chicago St. in Elgin. On that Saturday, Brenda and I will be ministering in Palatine, but our son, Timothy, and our team will bless you all.

The following week it will be mostly Brenda and me leading the revival from Sept. 21-23, each evening in Elgin. We trust that it will be just the beginning of an ongoing revival.

On Saturdays, our team will lead outreach ministries to evangelize the region. This could be a very exciting time for those with a passion to reach others with the love and power of Jesus.

On Sunday, September 28, we will be at Christ for all Nations Ministries in Northfield, IL. at 2 pm.

A LITTLE MORE POLITICS

The following is my personal view and not a ministry endorsement of a political candidate.

So much is happening so fast with all the hurricanes and conventions at the same time, but I'd like to share some private information. Liberals are trying to dig up all the dirt they can about Sarah Palin, but I heard some very encouraging news from our son, Ken.

Ken met a pastor from Alaska who was bragging about their Christian governor, before he knew she would be nominated as a vice presidential candidate. He was friends with the pastor of the church Sarah and her family attend. It is a church that believes in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. It just happened that for the last two weeks Governor Palin had been spending two to three hours per day in the prayer room at the church where she could seek God alone. Obviously, she was praying about the decision she was facing, knowing her family would come under scrutiny, etc.

Sarah is the first Pentecostal/Charismatic ever on a ticket for President or Vice President. She has shown tenacity in fighting corruption and is just what Washington D.C. needs. We feel she is well prepared to be president if she had the opportunity, namely because she has learned to seek God's wisdom. We are quite excited.

On the other hand, we have a presidential candidate that is SO NOT pro-life that it is scary. If you want to know more, please check out the following clip. It may shock you but it is undeniably true.

I am not the slightest bit prejudiced. I would love to vote for a black person or Hispanic or Asian if they valued human life, but I think for this time I will have to vote for a white man and a white woman.

UPDATE ON ROLLAND BAKER

Contrary to what I was told by someone in Mozambique, Rolland did not have any mini-strokes. He was under a spiritual and psychological attack by the enemy, designed to take him out. But he is recovering steadily and I believe is being totally healed.

I had two visions in Mozambique regarding the Bakers and know that because they are opening the gates into the land of darkness, they have come under severe attacks which never let up. Those who have come to help them have suffered as well, but they bear the brunt of the most attacks. But I saw God flood the gates with light and the attackers had to back off. Then the armies of God poured through the gates they had opened and took the light into the darkness. They became gatekeepers, blessing those who passed through the gates.

The second vision was of the land being flooded by the presence and glory of God coming in like water from the ocean after the floodgates were opened by them. God is going to give them the nation and teach them the ways of breakthrough for other nations.

I guess that's all for tonight. Hope you are all doing well.

Many blessings,

Ben, Brenda, family and team
