Greetings Saints,

BRENDA'S DAD

We arrived home late Saturday night from two extremely intensive weeks in Korea. While in the O'Hare airport Brenda found out her dad was dying. She did some laundry and repacked for Seattle. She was at the airport by noon on Sunday and has been in Washington State since Sunday evening. Her dad kept hanging on until early this evening. The last two nights Brenda stayed up with him all night. Then when other family members arrived, she took a few hours of sleep.

Today, she had waited until the afternoon, thinking he was going to breath his last any minute as the doctors predicted. Finally, she left to get a little sleep. After a couple of hours the Lord woke her up and told her to hurry back to the care center to be with her dad as he passed. She rushed back several miles and all lights were green. She arrived just in time for her dad's last few breaths.

We ask for your prayers for all the family, especially her 87 year-old mother, Joyce, who has been visiting her husband twice a day for the last few years. She will have to find other things to fill her day and she is also getting weaker and will need some care before too long herself.

PRAY FOR US AND OUR SCHEDULE

We had several events on our schedule starting this week. We cancelled the first already and have to also cancel Atlanta this coming weekend. We still expect to minister in Orlando the following week at a House of Hope Conference, August 26-29. Please pray especially for Brenda. Her mother really needs her now more than ever and she is torn between the many other demands as well as normal pressures of life in these days of transition. She could feel your prayers in Korea. Thank you so very much! She needs them now again.

KOREA REPORT

God did amazing things in Korea. We ended up serving a family which ran a number of Kindergartens in Kwangju. We had up to about 80 people in our last evening meeting, mostly Kindergarten teachers. They all wanted prophetic words and prayers of blessing, etc. It was wonderful and very tiring. We had to change our style of ministry considerably to minister to so many people.

The overall results of our meetings included many healings and hundreds of individual words of encouragement. But, I believe the Holy Spirit's greatest accomplishment was a significant shift in the focus and direction of each church and ministry and their leaders. There was a strong anointing on the message of The Kingdom and The Harvest and raising up the younger generation. We had children and youth pray for the adults with several being healed. We also asked all the ministries to pray for America and partner with us to bring in the harvest.

The pastor of the large church in Mokpo highly honored me and thanked me for also being an example of how I cared about my wife and honored her. He asked us for prophetic wisdom for major decisions he had to make about starting another couple of ministries at the age of 69. He already pastors two large church congregations. I asked him to focus on raising up successors and spend more time with his family, including grandchildren.

THANKS FOR YOUR LOVE

We are very grateful to all of you who have prayed and also supported us financially. These are tough times for almost all ministries and ministers. Fortunately, our team is all volunteer and we don't have to lay anyone off. We do expect to employ a number of them in the future as our Kingdom Sending Center comes to maturity. We want to train and send hundreds and even thousands of this generation into the harvest fields of the earth, including the Seven Kingdom Mountains of Society.
