Greetings again from Korea. God has done great things for us, and we are very grateful to Him.

SUNDAY SERVICES

Our first service on Sunday afternoon was a youth service. Jess and Kevin did the speaking. There were probably 300 youth there. It was an awesome service. Both were speaking publicly for the first time and did amazing. Many youth were touched and came for prayer.

Sunday night was a packed house of 600-700 if I estimated correctly. It's a Presbyterian church, which, like many, is breaking loose from their denominational traditions. I really felt the fire on me as I preached on unity, and we saw some immediate breakthroughs. Many people raised their hands that they had been healed. Jess and Brenda and I had specific words of knowledge.

Most Koreans are too shy to speak into the microphone, but we began to hear some great testimonies. Eyesight restoration and skin problems healed. Brenda saw a vision of Jesus giving someone a baby. In a previous meeting in Seoul, I gave a word about one deaf ear. The lady came for prayer and she began to hear in the deaf ear.

MONDAY - TUESDAY CONFERENCE

On Monday we spoke only in the evening and again the fire fell as I shared how God was moving on the younger generation. I did some research and discovered that the average age of the last six good kings of Judah from Joash to Josiah was seventeen years old when they began their reign. I found that amazing. Again we had more healings take place.

OUR MOST THRILLING TESTIMONY

On Monday night a lady came forward to testify that she had been barren for 17 years. She had come with a ultrasound showing that she was pregnant. We didn't know who she was and realized that it was only one day since Brenda gave the vision-word. However, after the meeting she came to where we were and we recognized her.

It was a lady we had ministered to last November. She and her husband had ministered to us with massages and served us with refreshments during the meetings at a different church in Kwang Ju. We had heard of her barrenness and had great compassion for her. She and her husband were a very precious couple. We thought they were still younger but just found out she is about 44 years old. We had prayed for them and Brenda was sure God was telling her that she would yet have her baby. That was in November and three months later she is six weeks pregnant. We just hugged her and hugged her while she wept in our arms. It was one of the most rewarding things Brenda could have received from God, especially with all the physical attacks she has suffered.

BRENDA'S HEALTH

Thank you all who have prayed for Brenda. She is pretty much over the nausea and back pain, but has the remnants of a virus attack. It involves sinus and throat mostly and yesterday (Tuesday) she began to lose her voice. She was scheduled to speak in the afternoon and God gave her enough voice to speak and it was amazing. There were at least two hundred people in a smaller sanctuary and they laughed and clapped and loved every minute of it.

The senior pastor was also there, unknown to us, and last night after I shared on the seven mountains of society, the pastor let me know that he wanted Brenda to take the last night of the conference - tonight - so everyone could hear her speak. The only problem is she has had no voice since last evening. She still has a few hours to recover before the meeting, and we are praying for God's complete touch. Please continue to pray with us. We are fifteen hours ahead of Chicago (Central Standard Time), in case you are confused about the date. We are on the other side of the International Date Line and when we return we will arrive over two hours before we leave.

By the way, Kevin has also had some health issues with a sore throat and some virus symptoms. He's doing quite well now and back on the team.

FINISHING THE JOURNEY

This afternoon I will speak and tomorrow we fly early back to Seoul. We will minister in two services at an Agape Seminary. The morning session will be with about 100 doctoral students. In the afternoon we'll be speaking to about 250 seminary students and staff. Please pray for us for the right word from God for these precious dedicated servants of God.

I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT OUR NEW BOOK

Yes, KINGS AND KINGDOMS, is ready for purchase. We will have a good supply at our conference and for others, we will get it on our website, asap. This book will share God's desire for us to reign now on the earth under Jesus, our King of kings. Several different revelations came together to form the message of this book. To truly seek first the Kingdom of God, we must accept our role as kings to expand His Kingdom.

A LITTLE WORD ON AMERICA'S JOURNEY

I am so grateful that God has a plan to bring America back to Himself. I get the news on the internet here and I feel very grieved as I read report after report of what our liberal president and congress are slipping into their "emergency" stimulous plan and other executive decisions. Anit-Christian discrimination is increasing again and political corruption and earmark spending are incredible as we prepare to bankrupt our nation and our future generations. Many acknowledge we are heading full-speed ahead for a European type of socialism. So many things are happening so fast, we have little time as Christians to react enough to stop anything. It's really time to pray and act in whatever way we can.

More corruption has been exposed and yet more is on the brink of exposure on several fronts. We have now three major politicians who admit cheating the government out of thousands of dollars of taxes. Two were confirmed anyway by the liberal congress. The other withdrew his name. I could go on and share more information I have received, but I just ask you to pray that God would deliver us from evil and that His Kingdom would come and His will would be done on earth as it is in Heaven. His Kingdom comes through us, His kings on earth, as we submit to His Kingship.

That's all for now. We leave shortly for the afternoon service. We so appreciate your love and prayers and also your financial support. Since we never publicize our needs, we also often forget to publicly acknowledge and show appreciation for those who send us support. God has carried us and kept us going through special friends who help us when God prompts them to.

Much love (sarang) from Korea,

Ben, Brenda, Jess and Kevin
