MOVING ON TO MOKPO

Greetings Saints,

God has touched hundreds of lives in a profound way in the last week. We finished our ministry time here in Chunan last night. There were about twenty or thirty pastors and associates in attendance and God gave me a special word for them. God has been putting my messages together in a truly prophetic manner. Every message brings me fresh revelation as I speak. I am truly amazed by the goodness of God. Brenda also has had a strong anointing and together we have prophesied over hundreds in a short time. Our poor interpreters get worn out like we do.

We have been sharing the vision of the coming global harvest and the Kingdom mandate to lift our eyes to see what God sees. The prophetic ministry must mature quickly so that all Christians desire to encourage and strengthen each potential harvester. We have focused much on empowering the younger generation. We've talked about a David generation replacing a Saul spirit in the church with worship and intimacy and power to wage a good warfare. The people's response has been very gratifying. We have heard of healings, deliverance and people coming back to God after receiving prophecy.

Thank you all so much for all your prayers. We have one week left of an intense schedule. Here in Chunan they wanted to add a third meeting on Saturday, but we declined, even though they had already advertised it without asking us. We actually got a couple of hours rest in the afternoon, which made a huge difference.

Tonight, (Sunday) and through Wednesday, we'll be in the largest church of our tour and we so appreciate your prayers for us. They also love the presence of the Lord and the prophetic and we want to pace ourselves so we don't wear out. Pray the anointing increases and our strength is sufficient for each opportunity. We have actually begun to fall asleep while our interpreters are speaking during the prophetic times after the message and altar ministry.

Now I want to change gears and share a report from our team in Mozambique. You will be thrilled with what they all got to experience. Some of you might want to sign up for next years trip. Here's their newsletter to their friends and family at home.

Hello everyone!

We wanted to give you an update on the adventures we had in the bush as well as what's happening with our flights.


Cleo and Mary went on a medical outreach seven hours into the bush. They treated over 300 children for worms, parasites, etc as well as many adults until it got dark outside and they had to stop for the evening. They saw blind eyes opened, deaf ears opened - and the Lord moved many times when they were praying for people. After showing the Jesus film in the evening, about 95% of the village children and also many adults accepted Jesus as their Savior. They both came back marveling at how God moved! They were both very stretched, but grew so much through the process.


The majority of the rest of us went on a bush outreach 4.5 hours out. It was a village of over 50,000 people - but it was still very very primitive as they live in mud huts with dirt floors. This particular village has been hard to reach in the past as it is dominated with witchcraft. The first night we went to a different village where we preached to about 2000 people. Many asked for prayer and our group got to pray over many - we too saw miracles of sight and hearing restored as well as many others - one woman's leg was totally healed from being crippled.

The second day started with kids ministry which was very fun! The kids crave attention and just loved having us all around to love on them. After that, some of the ladies prayed with some of the women of the village and prophesied over them and prayed for healing. We did outreach into the village as well and went around and prayed for different people at their homes. Our group saw a baby's very distended belly retract, a baby with a high fever broke, an alcoholic came for deliverance from that addiction, women with headaches went away, a man's back pain was healed, and a woman tormented with spirits was healed to name just a few.

When we went back to the camp, one of the leaders felt we needed to refresh before we ministered that evening - so we began to pray and holy fire fell on us! Lindsay, Rose and Luke were especially touched in a profound way and none of us will ever be the same! It was incredible - it was as if God reached down and touched each one of us in such a special way. Afterward we prepared to go out to the outreach. Megan mentioned to someone in the crowd that she had never spoken in tongues so she received prayer and immediately received the gift! She was standing by Luke who had just gotten an amazing touch from God and he went under the power of God again and had to be carried to the outreach!

We showed the Jesus film to this village and as soon as it was done, about half the crowd left but we still saw many healings of those who stayed. A man with a crippled wrist had much resoration, a man unable to move his arms and hip was relieved of his pain and ended the night dancing with Luke, and there were many other testimonies of miracles.

Upon returning, we were so blessed to stay at a hotel right on the beach of the Indian Ocean. It was absolutely stunning and we were so humbled by the extremes we had experienced all in one day - from roughing it in the bush with no running water to the most beautiful accomodations. We also enjoyed a meal together at a restaurant right on the beach that evening!

Sunday we went to church and prepared to go to the airport. It was very sad to leave and we all had a really hard time leaving Iris. We had met so many wonderful people!

The adventure then began!........

Our plane was almost 2 hours late arriving - oh and by the way, we watched Heidi Baker come off the airplane that we were about to board. That's how close we got to meeting her! It was quite something. We were sooo close to meeting her! She was a window pane away from us! Because the plane was so late leaving Pemba, once we finally got to Johannesburg they had closed boarding and we were unable to catch our original flight to Atlanta. We were able to book 4 people for today, and the other 8 are on standby as of right now. We found a hotel that had a shuttle and rested last night. This morning, Lyn and Luke went to the airport to speak with LAM about the issues they caused us and they retroactively paid for all of our meals and our room from last night and today. They are going to help us this afternoon when we talk to Delta about waiving the fees for changing our tickets. We had time to eat lunch just now and let me tell you about the amazing feast we just enjoyed! Every single one of us had different things that we had been talking about last night - things that we were craving or desiring. And EVERY single one of us's wish was granted at the buffet - from pretzels to flan to sushi to ice cream.
We are now leaving for the airport and will let you know what's going on as soon as we know more!

THANK YOU so much for your prayers. We are really all in peace and doing well - once we got over the shock of missing our flight home. God is really taking care of us and showing us how we can depend on Him when the going gets tough!!

Everyone is now safely home, as far as I know, but the adventure was truly amazing.

That's all for now. We love you all very much!

Ben, Brenda, Family and Team
