Greetings Saints,

We are now in Kwang Ju, in the southern part of South Korea. We have been here several times before but in a different ministry. In a few hours Kevin and Jess will minister to a youth group, perhaps 250 kids. Please pray for them. They have had a powerful anointing to prophesy and anoint people.

PASTOR'S CONFERENCE REPORT

First of all, we had a misunderstanding as to how many pastors and leaders would be there. We heard it would be 700 people or so. I don't know exactly where that number came from, but it was certainly an exaggeration. There were probably about 200 people, almost all pastors and wives. That was still a great group of pastors from different denominations who came together for three days.

Sadly, Brenda was not fully recovered and had some severe back pain as a result of her sickness and throwing up for several hours in a bad position. She still spent many hours prophesying, but hardly spoke at all to the group. She believes it is some kind of a virus or flu bug, because it is still affecting her and she is still eating very cautiously. We appreciate so many who have prayed and written us encouraging letters.

The good that came out of this was that Jess and Kevin have grown to an absolute new level in ministry. They worked with us in teams and they worked with each other when we weren't available. Every pastor and wife received personal ministry before the three days were up and they did a lot of it.

The anointing on us was very strong. I shared on God's passion for unity, revival and harvest, the great youth anointing for the harvest and a number of other things that the Holy Spirit prompted me to speak. I believe we broke through some strongholds of culture and tradition and released a stong anointing for revival.

The response of the pastors and wives was amazing and tremendously heart-warming. After a final anointing and impartation time where we layed hands on each one, many of them came up to say good-bye the only way they could with little or no English. Many men came and hugged me with tears rolling down their cheeks. Korean men don't cry that easy, but these pastors were so powerfully impacted that they didn't care. God had touched them and changed them forever.

Many came with my Korean books to sign and others wanted photos with me. I have seldom felt more loved and appreciated, but I know it was all about what the Holy Spirit had done in their lives. I had no prepared messages. I spoke only what I was hearing God tell me to speak. Each message developed as I spoke and I was amazed again at how good God is at putting a message together. All the Scriptures, stories and insights fit together like a beautiful puzzle when it was all completed. All I had to do was listen and speak what I heard.

The conference team had to drag me away to take me to our next destination. It had been an amazing three days and all the while Brenda was hurting and still serving love and vision to the pastors and wives in a little ministry room. I honor her and respect and love her more than ever before. God is even taking our marriage to a higher level through it all. Please pray that she can finish this journey feeling well.

COMING RIGHT UP

After our conference here in Kwang Ju, we go back to Seoul for two sessions at Agape Seminary. Then on Friday we head back to the USA to get ready for our big conference. Brenda will make another short trip back to Seattle. Our daughter Barbie is "great with child" and due any day. Brenda hopes her timing is perfect for the delivery. Brenda's parents are also not doing very well and she wants to see them again. They are 86 and 87.

THE JOY OF THE HARVEST CONFERENCE February 25-28 in Kenosha, Wisconsin, will be a life-changing event for hundreds of people. Each speaker has a dynamic ministry that is unique and impacting. We look for great breakthroughs from Heaven.

Please check our website: www.ohmint.org and click on conferences. You can download your own brochure and print extras for your friends. We expect a great turnout and a wonderful time together.

We also want to mention that Corey Russel from K.C. IHOP will be in the region in Illinois on Friday night and Saturday the same weekend. We are very sorry that we can't go to both. We love Corey and his message from God. If God calls you to support that conference instead, we encourage you to attend it. I can get more details to you later.

April 3-5 we will be blessed with a wonderful couple named Ron and Glenda Petty, who ministered with us and to us in Florida last month. We have yet to confirm the location or locations, but stay tuned as it is a unique experience to hear their testimony and receive ministry from them. They were on Sid Roth's "It's Supernatural" show not long ago. They will bless your socks off.

That's all for now. Please pray for us!

Ben, Brenda, Kevin and Jess
