Kim Clement speaks at 7 pm both evenings. At 1 pm, Al and Billie Deck will lead intercession for the meetings and the region. Both speakers are amazing. Lance is a revelatory teacher of the highest level and Kim is a leading international prophet/musician. This event was initiated by Steve Schultz of the Elijah List.
ELGIN FGBM FELLOWSHIP

LAKELAND, FLORIDA REVIVAL
We continue to watch the revival on God TV. It continues to grow and spread all around the world. Keep praying that this anointing will touch all our cities and every nation of the world. Pray that the nations would see God's glory and those who seek Him would find Him and know Him as their own personal Savior and Lord.
Blessings to you all,
Ben, Brenda, family and team

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!
Ben Peters
May 15, 2008

Dear Saints,
Yes, it's an awesome time to be alive. Waves of glory are splashing all over God's people around the world. The first weekend of May, Brenda and a small team from Chicago and elsewhere had a most glorious time at a ladies' retreat in Alberta. So much was accomplished according to the reports that have been coming in from ladies who were touched.
The past weekend we were at another wonderful ladies retreat in Lake Charles, IL. Almost four hundred ladies from Faith World International attended and at the end of her speaking time, Brenda asked the ladies to minister to each other. It was a most awesome time as they cried and prayed and prophesied over each other. The presence of God came so strong and they were so touched.
On Tuesday morning, we flew to Florida to take in two nights of the revival in Lakeview. Oh my! It was so glorious! We had such favor through our friendship with David T (Tomberlin), and his friend, David Ko, that they put us on the platform the first night. We sat behind Bob Jones, Bobby Conner, etc., and got to see everything close up. It was very awesome! The second night we sat in the front row as more and more known speakers showed up, filling up the platform. But the front row of the crowd was a great spot to be in. Todd Bentley was on fire and we saw many miracles and heard awesome testimonies.
One man was in a coma and they were going to pull the plug and let him die. Someone put an anointed cloth from the revival on his body and within an hour he woke up and said, "What am I doing here? He was totally healed. At least four people have been raised from the dead as the revival goes around the world through TV and internet. If you just have cable, you might want to switch to DirecTV, like others have done. (I hope they pay me for this promo.) We watch for hours every evening that we're home. It is enhancing the atmosphere in our home, and giving us a greater hunger for revival.
I'm just hearing about another child (a three-year-old) who was raised from the dead on live TV as I write.
Our itinerary on our website needs updating. Sorry, we haven't kept it up very well, recently. This weekend, we are first in Colombus, Ohio, and then at Cross Winds Community Church in Genoa, IL, for the Sunday morning and evening services.
The following weekend Kim Clement and Lance Walnau are coming to town on Friday and Saturday. We will be attending that with most of our team.
God bless you all and go for the glory!

Multiplication of Miracles

Greetings Dear Friends,
Heaven has opened and God is touching many people with His supernatural power. Testimonies are coming from many directions. Some still come from our conference and others from the revival in Lakeland, Florida. You can watch that live every evening on God TV or by internet: www.freshfire.ca.
First of all, the three personal friends we asked prayer for in a previous letter have all had great reports from their doctors and are feeling much better. I believe some amazing miracles, including the healing of cancer and heart disease, are in process and the tide has turned. At the same time, finances are beginning to flow again, after a long famine, for many ministries, including ours.
PLEASE DON'T FORGET MORE EXCITING MEETINGS COMING TO CHICAGOLAND
Kim Clement and Lance Walnau are with us in St. Charles, IL, May 23, 24. Register at www.praiseministriesinternational.com.
Georgian Banov and Kobus van Rensburg (from South Africa) will be at Lake Shore Tabernacle in Kenosha, WI, June 21, 22. Kobus has an amazing healing ministry. Visit his site: www.spiritword.org.za.
James Goll, Che Ahn, Charles and Anne Stock with Ben and Brenda Peters will be speaking at the Chicago River Conference - June 25-29 in Deerfield, IL. Register at www.ChicagoRiverChurch.org. Brenda and I will be speaking on Saturday, but we'll be attending most of the week.
Many other meetings are coming, but we'll talk about those later. I want to copy some testimonies now.

HERE ARE SOME TESTIMONIES
Hi Ben And Brenda.
I wanted to let you know that I received a gold molar Sat morning at the Kenosha conference ( I showed Ben) and other dental work by the Lord. I went to my dentist on Tuesday and he indeed confirmed that it was gold. He didn't believe that the Lord did it however. He kept asking me who did the work. But I pray this is seed planted in his life. My records showed that I had an inlay on the top of the tooth and a silver filling on the back. Not even a crown.
I'm trying to get my records from him but am meeting with some resistance. I know the Lord did other work in my mouth in response to my prayer of "fix my teeth, Lord" because some sides of my teeth that were deteriorated are now filled and built up. And that's only what I can see and tell. There may be more. But the gold teeth, I feel, are for signs, not healing. At least in my case, I believe.
I was somewhat resistant to the gold teeth phenomena until David Herzog was speaking about the restoration of Israel and the Jews having their gold crowns and fillings stolen. Then I said Lord, whatever you want to do, do, whether I understand it or not.
Blessings on you and your ministry,
Deb Novak
Hello Ladies,
I was just about to go to bed when I came across this creative writing piece my daughter wrote today for school. It stunned me.
Don't stop praying for your natural and spiritual sons and daughters! God is accomplishing things in secret!!!!
Here is her paper, word for word:
Don't have to see to believe
By: Natalie Ruh: A 10 year old girl with a big heart
I felt like writing a story, and then the name just came to me.
You might think that a 10 year old girl can't heal the blind or bring the dead to life, but I found out that if a grown-up can do them, then why can't I?
That's when I thought that I could do a great thing. Heal the blind and bring the dead to life!
If you think that a little girl my age couldn't do something that will make you faint,
(I'm guessing that's a YES!)Then you are going to be shocked. People my age can do the most shocking things, like bring the dead to life. I had seen things that a lot of people have never seen before.
I have seen angels that came in appearance of an orb. I have seen manna appear in a bible.
I have seen tinny gems fall from the havens above us. You might think that if you saw this, you would believe that God exist. But let me tell you something. I know that you would believe that if you saw it with you own eyes, but that doesn't mean that you don't believe for a while and then when you see it for your own eyes, you just suddenly believe that God does exist. Now some things I have only seen in
A movie called "Finger of God"( which is a great movie that I would insist watching). In that movie, I
Have seen kids probably my age pray for a women that was dying and when they were done praying,
There was gold dust were their fingers were and that woman was healed in a second and lost about
30 pounds in a second (WOW!!). A lot of kids and grown-ups can do this. All they need is God.

Young Girl Goes to Heavenly Surgery Room; Receives Healing From Crippling Diseases
Teresa Neumann-BCN Exclusive (May 1, 2008)
A desperate missionary family, unfamiliar with healing revivals, takes their daughter to Lakeland where she has an encounter with Jesus.
(Lakeland, Florida)—Pastor Stephen Strader of Ignited Church in Lakeland, Florida, where a massive revival has broken out, contacted Breaking Christian News about an amazing healing that took place there on Saturday, April 26, in which 14-year-old Kelsey Hays was healed from multiple immune diseases.
I telephoned Kelsey's mother, Lesley, of Kansas City, Missouri, on Tuesday, April 29, to ask her details of what happened. She and Kelsey were still in Lakeland, preparing to fly back to Kansas City where they attend the International House of Prayer (IHOP).
Some background on Kelsey and her family:
At the age of 9, Kelsey was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease, an immune related thyroid condition. Later she acquired Hepatitis C, which her mother says she "fought off," but in the process it left her body weakened and subject to other immunological diseases.
Mr. and Mrs. Hayes and their family have been missionaries in Mexico—and most recently Ecuador—for at least ten years. In September of last year, they had arrived back in the states for a furlough. Shortly thereafter, in October, Kelsey fell victim to a variety of increasingly serious illnesses. She had her gall bladder removed and during the surgery doctors noticed that her liver was scarred and infected. Later, doctors believed inflammation from the infection had entered the lining of her stomach and was attacking her central nervous system. By April, Kelsey's parents and her baffled doctors were at their wit's ends. She was in continual, intense, and severely crippling pain, taking up to 30 pills a day to try and manage it.
Then one day someone at the Hays' church approached them with news of the revival in Lakeland and offered to pay the family's way there. Though they had never experienced meetings such as the ones they were about to attend, the Hays were desperate. Also, Lesley said Kelsey had shared with them a significant vision she had in March of this year, the Saturday before Easter Sunday. In the vision, Kelsey said she found herself connected to an IV, standing before the Throne of God. Jesus came down and cut the IV tube and then God the Father came down, removed the IV from her hand, took off her hospital gown and said, "It's done!" (The day after the vision, noted Lesley, was the worst day of pain Kelsey had ever had.)
Saturday, April 26, Lakeland, Florida:
By the time Kelsey and her parents arrived at the venue in Lakeland it was 6:00 in the evening. The lines of people stretching for blocks outside of the church told them that it was filled to capacity and they would not be able to get in. Standing in the crowd, the Hays heard story after story of healings and miracles happening around the world even to those not present in the meetings. Somehow, Lesley and Kelsey were finally able to get in (she thought because they had helped another suffering couple to get in), but Mr. Hays remained outside.
Kelsey was in so much pain and so fatigued she couldn't walk. Her mother literally dragged, and half carried, her up to the only space available in the balcony where they began to cry and worship the Lord. It's all they could do, she said. Standing next to them were a man and woman; complete strangers. The woman turned to Kelsey and said, "I believe God wants to give you new organs." (Kelsey's gall bladder had been removed.) The man looked at Lesley and said, "I just saw you in a dream recently. I saw myself carrying your daughter down to the stage to get prayer."
Even though at the time Todd was taking testimonies from people who had been healed, the man offered to help take Kelsey down to get prayer. Lesley, unfamiliar with the type of meeting she was in, was afraid of breaking protocol and hesitated. Moments later, Todd stopped the testimonies and said, "I see someone with an IV pain drip in their left arm. Who is that?" Remembering Kelsey's vision of standing before the throne with her IV, her mother took up the man's offer. He carried Kelsey down to the stage. Todd prayed a simple prayer, touched Kelsey's forehead and she fell out under the power of the Spirit for about 45 minutes, said Lesley.
What was happening to Kelsey during this time?
According to her mother, Kelsey said while she was "out" she was taken to Heaven. She found herself in a celestial surgical room where Jesus stood next to her looking right down at her, directly face-to-face. He said to her, "Keep your eyes on me, Kelsey. It'll be ok."
She saw angels all around her; she felt them kneading her stomach, doing deep massage on her entire body, especially her legs and arms which had been so weak. At one point while Kelsey was lying on the floor under the Spirit, her mother said Todd announced publicly: "Look! There's angels over her."
When Kelsey finally came to and stood up, Todd asked her how she felt. "I feel nothing," said Kelsey. "I feel NO PAIN!"
At this writing, it has been four days since Kelsey has experienced God's extraordinary touch of healing and she is still without pain. She's feeling just like a 14-year old girl should feel.

ARE YOU READY?
Ben Peters
Apr 21, 2008
www.ohmint.org
Dear Friends,
Are you ready for a new season of growth and increase? Here in the Chicagoland region, we have great expectations. The snow is all gone and we've had some summery weather. But our excitement is about the season of miracles that has begun. Most of you have heard about the extended miracle revival meetings going on in Lakeland, Florida, with Todd Bentley. Many have watched on God TV or on the internet. There is a new level of the miraculous taking place.
As I watched, I felt God telling me to claim the same level of anointing for our conference that starts this Wednesday in Kenosha, WI. Most of our speakers have a strong healing and miracle anointing. We were also given a prophetic word from Shawn Bolz about empowering people with a healing and miracle anointing. We expect not only miracles, but the impartation of an anointing for those that come to the conference. I am very excited to see what God will do.
We start off with Vance Murphy on Wednesday night and Thursday morning.. The last time he was here, a precious gal named, Danielle was healed of severe diabetes and other conditions. All her symptoms left and she lost 30 pounds the first week and continued to lose weight she didn't want or need. The time before that another great miracle happened as well. I hope many of you can come for the first meetings and stay for the whole conference.
We anticipate a huge crowd by Friday night. Make sure you come early, because people are coming from all over the country. Every service will be special and you won't want to miss a thing if you can possibly come.
LUTHERAN MEN'S RETREAT
This weekend Ron and Robbie Coltman and I ministered at a Lutheran Church Men's Retreat in Kingston, IL. What a great group of men! They ranged in age from 19 to 88. We released many prophetic words and many teachings that God laid on our hearts. Many hearts were really touched. We also enjoyed some great fellowship at the golf course of Saturday afternoon. We were having too much fun to keep score, which was a good thing.
SPECIAL PRAYER REQUESTS
We just heard from Tracy Dorn that her father, Pastor Bill Myers, whom many of you know, is having more heart problems, and the doctors are not sure what to do about it. Pray that God touches him. This week would be a good time.
Also please pray that God does a complete healing work in our friend Donna Lagerquist of Cary, IL. She has been fighting cancer for several years and has seen some victories, but recently her lung collapsed and they found a tumor in her lung. Donna is still in her forties with a godly and faithful husband and two precious daughters. We are very convinced that it is God's plan to heal her. Please pray with us.
Another precious, long-time friend, Nancy Scurto, had a bad report from the doctor regarding her heart and lungs. Please remember her in prayer also.
Also, please pray for us for wisdom and strength for the schedule for this year. There is great excitement about events later this year that are coming up.
COMING ELECTIONS
Please pray that God would still show Himself strong in the rest of this election season. Many of us are very disappointed in the choices that are left, compared to what we could have had. We can keep saying, "If only!", but that won't do us any good. It is clear that most of our Christian leaders have little or no unity on this subject, and each endorsed a different candidate. Unfortunately, it probably reflects the state of the church in America, as far as unity is concerned.
BUT GOD!!! Let's not quit praying! God might be up to something that we didn't expect. He is certainly drawing His people together. I trust that next time there will be much more unity than we saw this year. Let's also not forget that there are many important congressional seats up for election. We must elect the best representatives and senators that we can.
That's all for now. There's lots to do before the conference. If anyone still wants to serve as a volunteer, I'm sure our team could put you to work.
Blessings to you all!

Dear Friends,
Are you ready for a new season of growth and increase? Here in the Chicagoland region, we have great expectations. The snow is all gone and we've had some summery weather. But our excitement is about the season of miracles that has begun. Most of you have heard about the extended miracle revival meetings going on in Lakeland, Florida, with Todd Bentley. Many have watched on God TV or on the internet. There is a new level of the miraculous taking place.
As I watched, I felt God telling me to claim the same level of anointing for our conference that starts this Wednesday in Kenosha, WI. Most of our speakers have a strong healing and miracle anointing. We were also given a prophetic word from Shawn Bolz about empowering people with a healing and miracle anointing. We expect not only miracles, but the impartation of an anointing for those that come to the conference. I am very excited to see what God will do.
We start off with Vance Murphy on Wednesday night and Thursday morning.. The last time he was here, a precious gal named, Danielle was healed of severe diabetes and other conditions. All her symptoms left and she lost 30 pounds the first week and continued to lose weight she didn't want or need. The time before that another great miracle happened as well. I hope many of you can come for the first meetings and stay for the whole conference.
We anticipate a huge crowd by Friday night. Make sure you come early, because people are coming from all over the country. Every service will be special and you won't want to miss a thing if you can possibly come.
LUTHERAN MEN'S RETREAT
This weekend Ron and Robbie Coltman and I ministered at a Lutheran Church Men's Retreat in Kingston, IL. What a great group of men! They ranged in age from 19 to 88. We released many prophetic words and many teachings that God laid on our hearts. Many hearts were really touched. We also enjoyed some great fellowship at the golf course of Saturday afternoon. We were having too much fun to keep score, which was a good thing.
SPECIAL PRAYER REQUESTS
We just heard from Tracy Dorn that her father, Pastor Bill Myers, whom many of you know, is having more heart problems, and the doctors are not sure what to do about it. Pray that God touches him. This week would be a good time.
Also please pray that God does a complete healing work in our friend Donna Lagerquist of Cary, IL. She has been fighting cancer for several years and has seen some victories, but recently her lung collapsed and they found a tumor in her lung. Donna is still in her forties with a godly and faithful husband and two precious daughters. We are very convinced that it is God's plan to heal her. Please pray with us.
Another precious, long-time friend, Nancy Scurto, had a bad report from the doctor regarding her heart and lungs. Please remember her in prayer also.
Also, please pray for us for wisdom and strength for the schedule for this year. There is great excitement about events later this year that are coming up.
COMING ELECTIONS
Please pray that God would still show Himself strong in the rest of this election season. Many of us are very disappointed in the choices that are left, compared to what we could have had. We can keep saying, "If only!", but that won't do us any good. It is clear that most of our Christian leaders have little or no unity on this subject, and each endorsed a different candidate. Unfortunately, it probably reflects the state of the church in America, as far as unity is concerned.
BUT GOD!!! Let's not quit praying! God might be up to something that we didn't expect. He is certainly drawing His people together. I trust that next time there will be much more unity than we saw this year. Let's also not forget that there are many important congressional seats up for election. We must elect the best representatives and senators that we can.
That's all for now. There's lots to do before the conference. If anyone still wants to serve as a volunteer, I'm sure our team could put you to work.
Blessings to you all!
Ben, Brenda, family and team
UNPRECEDENTED GLORY, UNBRIDLED JOY

Dear Friends,
Words are totally inadequate to describe the conference this past week in Kenosha, and only Heaven was able to keep track of what God was doing. Some things happened after people returned home. One lady wanted a sign from God that would prove God was real to her unbelieving relatives. She got it after returning home and reading part of David Herzog's book. She lost control of her tongue and spoke in another language for over an hour. I'll copy her testimony after this letter.
The fire of Heaven was falling with many miracles throughout the conference. The first night, Vance Murphy called out a word of knowledge before he started preaching and someone was instantly healed. Vance, who had just visited the Lakeland, Florida, revival, was in a powerful revival mode and his messages and ministry were incredible.
Another night someone was healed during worship. A lady started jumping up and down, which she could not do for the past five years. Many were healed of bad pain and several got gold fillings, etc. Many also proclaimed instant weight loss, showing how loose their clothing was getting. One of our team had to hold up pants by tightening up the waist with safety pins.
The only speaker we hadn't met was Michele Perry an Iris missionary to the Sudan. What a delight she was to all of us, as she bubbled over with joy, sharing her testimony and heart for her 77 children (formerly orphans). She was born with one leg and one hip and had many surgeries at a young age. She does amazingly well on one leg and crutches and has been speaking since the age of 9.
Georgian Banov and David Herzog were a powerful team on Friday and Saturday. Georgian's worship took us into heights of joy we have never experienced before. His messages were also just amazing. David's ministry was full of information about the glory realm and accompanied by many wonderful miracles. It was truly awesome.
In the afternoon services we had wonderful sessions with Dr. Bob Paeglow from Albany, NY, Val Coltman and team from Illinois, and our son, Ken Peters from Spokane. Brenda and I also took sessions and we enjoyed the tremendous response.
COMING EVENTS
This weekend, Brenda, Val and Amy will be going to central Alberta for a ladies retreat. The next weekend Brenda will be speaking in Lake Charles, Illinois, for the Faith World International ladies retreat. I will also be doing some ministry that weekend in Wheaton with a Sending Center Training Seminar.
On Sunday, May 18, we will be speaking at Genoa Foursquare Church.
On Friday and Saturday, May 23, 24, Kim Clement and Lance Walnau will be ministering St. Charles, Illinois. These are two high powered ministries teaming up. Lance is one of the sharpest guys I know regarding Christians in the marketplace, etc. Kim is a world-known prophet who sings much of his message.
On Thursday, May 29, we will be ministering to the Elgin Full Gospel Business Men's meeting at the Milk Pail Restaurant. All are invited.
PLEASE PRAY
We still need prayer for our friends, Donna and Nancy. Speak resurrection life into their bodies which are fighting cancer (Donna) and heart (Nancy) issues. Please let us know if God gives you something for either of these wonderful women of God.
Thanks to all of you for your support and love. We were blown away at the conference with the blessings of all kinds that we received.
Much love to you all,
Ben, Brenda, family and team
TESTIMONY
Dear Ben & Brenda: April 27th,2008
I had to write and tell you what happened after the trip to Lakeshore Tabernacle Church yesterday. I had seen David Herzog on tv at sidrothministries.com and wanted to see him speak in person. When I spoke of David to others there was much doubt and disbelief in him. I decided to find out for myself and made the over 6 hour trip to Lakeshore Tabernacle in Wisconsin where he was speaking at the Divine Encounters meeting.
Two days before I left I asked God for a sign to go since I would not have anyone to share the driving with and do not like to travel alone. Very soon after I left for one hour and only to go to the gym. There while swimming I walked by a woman who looked at me and when I said hello in passing she asked me if I was saved. I said yes and took this as a sign since this was the only time that week I left the house.
Then Saturday at Lakeshore Tabernacle I was in good spirits and happy to join in praising God and looking forward to hearing David speak. At first I was a bit disappointed and grew more and more doubtful as he seemed to speak so fast about a subject I knew little about and time was growing short and he was not leaving much time for the topic of signs & wonders and the Glory Zone. At the very end he prayed over the crowd in church and asked people to run around the church for healing.
Feeling kind of embarrassed since being Eastern right Orthodox and Catholic we are taught not to move and always keep very quiet in church I took a lap of faith anyway. I wished for in my heart a miracle to bring back a sign from God so my family back home in Michigan could be saved and headed for heaven. Nothing happened to me but I did see one man who claimed to have a gold tooth and 8 or 9 people testified to weight loss and other healing but I still was unsure.
Then an idea came to me just before David was leaving and signing books. I would ask him to pray for a sign from God for me since David mentioned sometime things present themselves a day later. Before I left there were people praying over others in the church for healing and prophesy so I stood in line for healing. Three wonderful Christians prayed over me but nothing seemed to happen even when one of the three asked me if I wanted the gift of tongues. Just to be open-minded I said ok- why not .
By the way I had heard of the gift on christian TV but never witnessed this so-called phenomenon and frankly thought the idea sounded a bit wacky since one of the three praying for me (I think it was Maria's husband )said it may sound at first like baby talk. Shortly after I left for home to be back in time for Orthodox Easter on Sunday.
Everything seemed fine that day - I praised God and drove home thinking how glad I was to have had that experience even though I had expected more. At around 11:50 I decided to read one David's Herzog's Books- Mysteries of the Glory and was in the chapter creative miracles ,near the page soaring effortlessly and my mouth started to utter words, not baby talk, but words of a different language and with note able expression in my voice that I did not produce.
I could hear my mouth speaking but I had no control over what I spoke. I listenend and praised God for I knew it had to be this speaking of tongue's they had prayed over me for earlier in the day. Words cannot describe when the Spirit came over me- it had to be the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD- it continued on and on and an hour later I began to tire. I tried to control my tongue but it was useless-When I did try my tongue only got in the way of the pronounciation so I just let it go and let the words continue.
Then later my mind was starting a little seed of doubt and immediately the words came faster and faster as if to say this is really happening. I finally needed rest, close my mouth and inaudibly thanked God said my nightly prayers and fell asleep. Since this just happend to me last night and I have been not been counseled on the meaning it feels as if was an expression of prayer of some kind that only God understands and the language is pleasing to him. If asked to describe it, it sounded very old like nothing I have ever heard before.
If anyone asks what kind of background I am from other than being a devout Christian- I have had a Bachelors Degree in Business from USF for over 20 years and have worked for my present employer as one of the most respected and experienced sales person/managers for over 14 years.I have no history of any mental or physcological problems.
Thank you for reading this message and praise God always,
Sincerely,
Carol Ann Coleman
