Greetings Saints,

HEADING FOR KWANGJU

We are excited to be heading for Korean destination #5 today. I think we have enough grace to keep up the pace and finish the race. We will have five more meetings and a trip to the airport in these next three days, counting today. It's now Thursday morning. We don't know what to expect in Kwangju, except that it's a closed meeting (not open to the public) and we will minister to Kindergarden teachers. We don't know if that means 30 or 300. It's hard to predict anything in Korea, but we know many of you will be praying for us and we are very grateful for that.

We have definitely felt your prayers. God has given grace to make it through each day. Brenda took one morning off and it was just what she needed. She got to go into some little shops nearby and find some souvenirs for the grandkids, etc. It was just what the doctor ordered.

MIRACLES IN MOKPO

God did more than any of us know here in Mokpo. The crowds of several hundred grew almost every meeting. The anointing on my preaching was at an all-time high. God put together every message and the altar calls as I stood before the crowd, calling on God to do what He desired to do. The messages God gave me had a strong impact on the youth and the leadership of this large church. The pastor actually pastors two large churches at the same time and is 69 years old. Koreans look much younger than they are and he still has tremendous energy. He keeps the service going for at least another 45 minutes with more prayer and worship, after I finish preaching and praying for people.

Both Brenda and I had powerful and impacting visions on the destiny of this church and the city. On the way to Mokpo I saw a vision of many ships coming into the Mokpo harbor. Mokpo is right on the southwest corner of South Korea. I felt the Lord say they were coming to pick up exports from Korea and the city would prosper from new industries, etc. When I shared the vision with our host and pastor, they said there were no real exports out of Mokpo. But I felt God was still saying there would be. Also, I believed they would be exporting the gospel and many of their people would be going to foreign countries as missionaries to bring in the harvest. Two days later, they discovered that China and South Korea had made a deal to build a large port in the harbor to bring exports from Korea to China. I was so blessed that God confirmed the vision so quickly and built their faith that God was going to bless them.

Brenda had a powerful vision during worship of the church full of fire and people were coming from all over the world to see what God was doing there. We feel like a tremendous shift has taken place and we will see many eternal results.

In addition, there were many people physically healed of many illnesses. Last night I spoke about having our spiritual eyes opened. I asked God to open natural eyes as a sign that He would show us many things in the spirit and give us eyes to see what the natural eyes could not see. We heard several testimonies from men and women who said their vision had been blurry and now it was clear. I believe that's what God wants to do with our spiritual vision in these days. We certainly see through a glass darkly, as the Bible says. But He wants to take our vision to a new level.

On Tuesday night we called up the youth who wanted to serve God in the harvest wherever he sent them. About 100 came up for prayer. Then we called for spiritual fathers and mothers to come and pray for them and commit to support them. About 200 adults came up and there was a lot of weeping and fire falling on them. Some went down under the power of God. One girl was powerfully impacted and lay on the floor shaking for an hour or so. Yesterday she gave her testimony and it was powerful what God had done in her spirit.

Please continue to pray for us as we finish the race. You are making a difference. Thank you all for your kindness and support. Don't forget our September 10-12 conference in Lombard. It will be a historic event.

AMERICA NEEDS YOUR PRAYERS - NOW AS NEVER BEFORE!

Also pray for America as never before. We have heard prophetic warnings of another terrorist attack in New York. This one is supposed to target Citicorp around the time of our conference. The man who got the word had also predicted the Oklahoma City bombing and the twin tower attach.

Please pray for the momentum of evil legislation and political changes to stop and be reversed. Many Americans are beginning to realize how bad our new administration really is. We are being taken on a fast train to a foreign station, where we've never been before in America. We are becoming a nation controlled by atheistic, European style politicians who have a humanistic philosoply of the comparitive value of human life. In other words, some people have more to contribute to the common good than others and deserve to receive medical treatment. Some would require more expense than they are worth to save them. Newborn babies have less value than young adults because society has not yet invested much into them. This philosopy was written out by the brother of Rahm Emanuel, Obama's chief of staff.

This just scratches the surface of what is going on and how quickly we are losing our rights and freedoms. No one would have dreamed that we could slide so far so fast. Whatever you can do to get informed and voice your opinion to your government officials, please do it.

We still hold on to the prophetic promises that this administration will be overturned before it's time is due to expire. God has good things in store for us when our national leadership honors God and His Word once again. Please don't stop praying. Thanks so much! Your future and your children's future depend on it.

That's all for now from Mokpo, South Korea. After a few days at home we head for Atlanta and Orlando for conferences. Keep these also in your prayers, please!

Much love from a very special place with very special and hungry people on God's planet!

Ben, Brenda, Family and Team
