Greetings again,

Here's some more very important info and a repeat of yesterday's letter for those who got a spread out version yesterday.

A VERY SPECIAL SEMINAR

Darren and Krista Frauenholtz are presenting a Freedom Seminar On Friday evening, March 27, at 7 - 9:30 pm, and Saturday, March 28, from 9 am to 5 pm, in the town of Bristol, Wisconsin, which is west of Kenosha, just a few miles north of the Illinois border. They have room for a few more attendees.

This seminar is all about personal freedom and we highly recommend it for everyone. We have received much blessing from this teaching ourselves. It covers emotional hangups, unwanted habits, physical problems and much more. The seminar will be rich with testimonies of personal victory in a very transparent presentation. Brenda and I highly recommend it to everyone. Darren and Krista have been teaching this to our team the past few months.There is no registration fee. A free-will offering will be taken by the host. You can register by writing to frauenholtz@comcast.net. The address of the seminar is: 12146 223^rd Ave. Bristol, Wi 53104.LETTER FROM OUR FRIEND MICHELLE PERRY IN SUDAN, AFRICABeloved:
This little bit is too good to keep quiet. Most of you knew the LRA rebels came a mile from us a week ago and killed 10 people brutally. A few days later 3 new children came to live with us. One of the 10 people killed was their single mom. The little three year old girl watched her mom horrifically hacked to death with a machete and then the rebels beat her small head in with rocks. She lived. Barely. When she woke up, she stopped talking and was having problems walking when she came to us. She had a large squishy spot on her head but we have no imaging capabilities here. Try no power to run them! We were working with UNICEF on how to connect her skull with a CAT scan ASAP. Actually right now we don’t even have a hospital due to riots. Many SPLA soldiers have not been paid so today they started killing, beating and looting all over town, holding Yei hostage. All the roads (except ours) are barricaded. I am praying I can even GET to my flight Tuesday. Anyway I digress.

So I just held her and prayed, as did some of our older girls as well. This is a gorgeous little girl. Today when I returned home from sneaking past the melee to send email prayer requests out, I was talking with some of our older boys and saw her playing with our other little girls with a bright smile on her face. It looked like she was speaking. I hurried over to her and scooped her up and she laughed. I felt on her head and the squishiness was almost all gone. She was walking and skipping! And then she skipped right over and curled up in my lap and fell fast asleep in the sun for an afternoon nap. The greatness of our God! She is a miracle child… I just wanted to brag on Papa. He does such wonderful things for His kids. The joys of living in a warzone ;-)

It is pretty bad when the army goes on a rampage inside of town b/c they have not been paid, the rebels are on the loose on the outside of town, all NGOs are on total lockdown including the un soldiers and we are blissfully worshipping in the middle! I get what I ask for. Papa I want the worst place you can trust me with. hahaha. I so love our kids. I am so proud of them. OK no more motherly ramblings- I am just really in love with them. They are amazing kids. Mama we are not worried. God protects us. I might have to walk 5 miles to my plane to get there as they are only allowing foot traffic… that is when they are feeling particularly generous and tired of beating people, but I will get there. I snuck into town with one of our church leader friends to follow up with the government on the land only to find out they had ran from the fray already… I laughed. I would go anywhere with this guy- he walks in incredible authority. Rebuked a lion once and it turned into a witch doctor, whom he then led to Jesus. We like him a lot! A soldier or two shook their sticks at me- so I raised one of my crutches in return greeting with a great big smile and they started to laugh and waved back and we went home. We are going to go to their barracks and do outreach maybe in May with the disabled soldiers who started this little protest. ;-) >From one person with one leg to another, I can get in to craziest places hahaha.

One other thing- Bashir is kicking ALL Ngos out of Sudan period. Good thing we are not an NGO ;-) But all westerners are being barred from Sudan on grounds that they are spies and national security threats. BUT the south is inviting them all here in direct defiance of the northern order which in theory COULD be enough grounds for the north to abandon the peace agreement and send us hurtling back to war in some form. Much is pointing in that direction. But as long as God keeps me here, what BETTER place to be!!!!!!

Love you much-Michele

SPRING TIME AND HARVEST
Ben Peters
Mar 20, 2009

Greetings Brothers and Sisters,

Today is the first day of Spring, 2009. Spring is a season for the appearing of new life. Some comes spontaneously out of the ground and some new life comes after we make a little effort to invest some seeds or bulbs or plants into the dirt. It's a season of hope and anticipation. We can't harvest much yet, but we see evidence that there will be a harvest. But there are times in our walk with God that the harvest ripens before we expect it. I believe we're in such a time today.

Last Sunday at our House Net-working Fellowship meeting, I saw a vision during worship. We were walking through what I thought was tall grass and reaching forward to spread the grass apart so we could see where we were going. Then I realized it wasn't just grass, it was a wheat field taller than us, and we were in the middle of a harvest field.

Sometimes, like the disciples, we don't recognize the harvest and are busy doing other things because it's not yet harvest time. Jesus reminded them that the fields are already ripe. He was busy harvesting while they went shopping - no offense, ladies and guys who like to shop.

The harvest is not just converting the lost. Harvesting is gathering the good grain. I believe it includes those who are saved and those who will be saved. It's the gathering and bringing together in unity of all God's children. It is what our team has been accomplishing without much help from Brenda and me. Our team leaders are Ron and Val Coltman and Gene and Mary Ferguson and they have been doing a fabulous job.

THIS WEEK'S MINISTRY

On Wednesday we ministered to family and friends of one our favorite Italian families, Russ and Nancy Scurto. It was a precious time and we thoroughly enjoyed serving them what God had given to us as they also served us with their awesome hospitality and wonderful Italian food.

Last night, Thursday, we ministered to The Father's House in Janesville, WI. A small team joined us and helped us share God's love with a wonderful House of Prayer/church group. Jessie did an awesome job as she led worship and we had a strong anointing as we spoke and prophesied to the precious folk. It was a wonderful experience for us all.

HUB CONFERENCE REMINDER AND UPDATE

This coming weekend HUB is hosting a benefit conference for Heidi and Rolland Baker, who need our support in this season, as they have been under some severe attacks on many fronts. In addition to the speakers we announced last week, Bobby Conner will also be speaking. If you have the time available, please check it out at
http://www.hubministries.orgSPECIAL PRAYER REQUESTMany folks have financial pressure right now, but we're asking for special prayer with fasting for one of our couples who have invested about three years in building and trying to sell a large luxury spec home, which has not sold after being on the market for a long time. They are nearing a major deadline and need to sell it to avoid serious problems. If you believe in miracles please add Darren and Krista to your prayer list.That's all for now.God bless and help you go higher with Him,Ben, Brenda, family and team
