AMAZING GRACE

WOW!!!!!

God came and spread His amazing grace all over our conference. From start to finish we experienced the Joy of the Harvest. God was gathering speakers and saints from different countries, states and churches into one harvest barn and preparing us to be seed for sowing and the bread of life for the world. Because of other factors, such as numerous other meetings and conferences in the region, the attendance was less than some previous times, but the anointing and obvious presence of the Holy Spirit and His ministering angels was greater than ever before.

PERSONAL MINISTRY

Brenda and I received several powerful prophetic words from some of the speakers and we feel like God has taken us to a new place in His glory as Joshua Mills prophesied. Jeff Jansen added that we would be placing our mantel on many Elisha's. Jim Paul said that God was turning back the clock and renewing our youth. We are happy to receive all such words.

We also had prophetic and healing ministry teams that ministered to people during the lunch break. In addition, we offered dream interpretation during both breaks and many took advantage of these ministries.

SIGNS AND WONDERS IN THE GLORY

Miracles abounded throughout the conference. It started off with oil filling Joshua Mills' hands as he spoke, right after he gave us a word. Then healings and creative miracles began to take place. We had several testimonies reported to us, but there were dozens of people who raised their hands to indicate that they had received a physical touch from the Lord.

A lot of pain disappeared in various parts of the body, including a recent newer member of our OHM team, named Joy. She hadn't been pain free in her feet when walking or standing for fifteen years. She was totally healed during David Tomberlin's Saturday morning meeting, and could walk on her toes, which she had not been able to do without extreme pain. Another lady had three vertebrae fused together and after Jeff Jansen called out the particular vertebrae numbers, she was able to move her neck in every direction for the first time.

Here's another testimony sent in last night by a lady named Lori, whose son is engaged to a gal named Grace.

"Grace received a healing: She was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. She's only 20 years old. It's been a problem for her. She has pain, on and off, and she drops things. I'm sure there's more that she has struggled with, but I'm just getting to know her. I don't remember which day, but in one of the evening services, she was in so much pain that her eyes filled with tears while she was sitting in the service. She left the sanctuary and tried moving around to see if it would help, but it didn't. She came back to her seat and was in obvious pain. That's when you asked for the young people to come to the front. She hesitated, but went. She said that as soon as she reached the front, all of the pain left her body. She stayed at the front for the rest of the time and came back to where I was, smiling!"

OUTSTANDING WORSHIP

The worship, led mostly by our OHM worship team, and organized by our son, Tim, went to new levels every day. We sensed a lot of angelic activity and some strong prophetic proclamations took place during and after the worship. We were blessed also with Damon Stuart and Terri Delaney, as well as Valencia and Ken Peters. Another blessing was when our Korean friend named Ock Park played anointed music on the keyboard as Brenda and I spoke.

The speakers offered a wonderful variety of messages and ministry. They included Joshua Mills, Jim Paul, Jeff Jansen, David Tomberlin, Ken Peters, Ben and Brenda Peters, Lisa Bourland, Valerie Coltman, along with other team members, who shared what God was doing with OHM.

Although we were quite exhausted by Saturday, David Tomberlin had an amazing ability to keep our attention with some of the most hilarious stories, especially from his personal testimony. We will be blessed to have him return for some meetings at the end of June.

Copies of the conference will be available soon through Bill Myers of Oak Grove Jubilee Center.

KINGS AND KINGDOMS

Our new book arrived in plenty of time for the conference and was picked up by many people. To get this strategic message out, I offered two copies for just $10.00, so people could give one away.

I'd like to make a little different offer for those who weren't at the conference. Anyone who purchases one Kings and Kingdoms and any one other of my books will get a second Kings and Kingdoms free to give to someone else. You can order on our website: www.ohmint.org

THANKS AND PRAYER REQUESTS

We are extremely grateful to all our team members and all those who attended and helped and gave at the conference. We always feel the pressure of paying all the conference bills and blessing our speakers, since we operate totally by faith, which is not always as strong as it should be. We charge no registration fees and have no deep pockets of our own to cover expenses. Somehow, God sent us enough people with big hearts to help us cover the basic needs of the conference.

Many traveling ministries are feeling the pressure of the economic crisis. Please pray for all such ministries, that God would show us all His supernatural power. If you are one who has lost work or income, we pray that God will reveal His power and glory to you as well.

AMERICA IN CRISIS

The greatest crisis is not the economy. The problem in the economy is both a symptom of the real problem and the key to the blessings of God, including the great transfer of wealth to the righteous. Meanwhile, the extreme liberal leaders from the president down are slipping in as many socialist and anti-Christian changes as fast as they can, knowing their time is limited. We are praying for God to continue to expose the motives and corruption of those who are serving both their own selfish purposes and the enemy of our souls. There is much more corruption to be revealed. I pray it will come quickly before more damage is done.

God bless you all,

Ben, Brenda, family and team
