Greetings and Merry Christmas to all!
PAST WEEKEND
Brenda, Jess and I just returned from a weekend in Henderson, Kentucky. Several of our team members were there as well and we all had a really good time. It was a reunion of those who had gone to Israel with Father's House Ministries. Brenda and I were privileged to minister to the Father's House on Sunday morning and the presence of God was very precious. Brenda, who has been quite exhausted and road weary was given strength to touch many lives and speak powerfully as usual. I had an unusual brokenness and could hardly speak the last part of the message God was giving me. God was doing a deep work in all of us and in the course of the weekend many lives were touched, set free and set on fire. We also had several divine networking connections.
THIS WEEK
After a couple of meetings tomorrow ( Tuesday), we fly to the west coast to be with family for the Christmas holidays. We return just before the New Year. Please pray for us. We need God's wisdom and grace and His miracle power to sustain, strengthen and empower us. We pray the same for all of you and that all your needs would be met during this season.
LAST OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE VEGGIE VILLAGE IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS
We have received our first shipment of VEGGIE VILLAGE AND THE GREAT AND DANGEROUS JUNGLE. We have shipped out the orders we received. We took some to Henderson and distributed some there. I just received the following letter from a dear sister - Ruth Allison. She was given the first autographed copy.
"Ben, I could not wait to read the book you so graciously gave me, but read it all in one sitting. I don't know why, but it had me weeping, praying, weeping some more... What a powerful book you have written!"
We are not charging for this book, but are accepting donations from those who can to help cover the cost. If you write me back today or tomorrow, I believe I can still get the book to you before Christmas if you live in the USA. I pray that this book will touch many lives and will so much appreciate your help in getting it out.
PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR ADDRESS SO I CAN SEND YOUR BOOK WITHOUT DELAY.
This book is not really a little kids book, but they could enjoy it. It is especially for youth and adults. I am already writing a kid's version with a slightly different plot as God directs me.
Many blessings, and have an amazing Christmas with Christ at the center.

VEGGIE VILLAGE IS HERE!

Dec 9, 2009
www.kingdomsendingcenter.org
Greetings Friends,
We trust you are being blessed with the presence and glory of God in these exciting days. God is pouring out His spirit in many places, including Kansas City and the International House of Prayer. The worship is amazing and miracles are happening. This is a revival with a pure and solid foundation that could keep on going for some time. Many people are watching it streaming live on www.ihop.org.
We just returned from a southern trip which included ministry in Atlanta, a vist with the Bourlands in Henderson, Kentucky, and a conference in Orlando, Florida. We had some wonderful fellowship and some special divine encounters. Only God knows what fruit will come from it, but we are very excited about what God is doing.
"VEGGIE VILLAGE AND THE GREAT AND DANGEROUS JUNGLE - AN ALLEGORY" WILL BE AVAILABLE IN A FEW DAYS IN PLENTY OF TIME FOR CHRISTMAS. IT IS NOT YET ON OUR WEBSITE, BUT YOU CAN STILL GET YOUR FREE COPY.
This book is different than any book I've ever written. It is a an adventure story featuring radical young people who receive encouragement from one village elder in their pursuit of all that God has for them. Working together they become extremely successful. This is a formula for revival - generations working together in unity for the same Kingdom purpose.
It you would like to get this book for yourself or someone else for Christmas, please respond to this letter and let me know. As many of you already know, we don't set a price on our books in our meetings anymore. They are available on a donation basis only. If we can pay our costs and replace the books we are happy, as long as people are reading and being changed by the message. If you can help us with a book donation, you can donate on our website: www.kingdomsendingcenter.org. The rest of our books are still for sale on our website, but this one will be on a donation basis until after Christmas.
DECEMBER PLANS
We had planned a gathering at our home for tomorrow (Wednesday) night, but because snow is forcast for all night and all day tomorrow, we have decided to let people stay safe at home.
On Friday, we are supposed to be going to Henderson, Kentucky for a reunion of the people who went on our first trip to Israel, which was a very memorable trip known to us as the 37 chairs.
Next week we will minister to some of the WYLL staff. After that we are scheduled to fly to the west coast and spend two weeks with family, including Brenda's mom who will spend her first Christmas as a widow.
Please remember to pray for us. We have been on the road so much, it is hard leave after just arriving home.
God bless you all!

North Carolina Update

Nov 22, 2009
www.kingdomsendingcenter.org
Dear Friends,
We had four wonderful services here in Garner, NC. What a precious group! And what sweet and precious youth and children. There were even some of the sweetest babies to hold and have fun with. Grandpa and Grandma are missing their newest grandchildren again.
Once again, God showed up to back up His word. Words of knowledge and revelation were flowing freely. God healed, set free and empowered and encouraged dozens of precious people. This young church wants to move with God and pay whatever price it costs. Much of our focus again was on preparing for the harvest, activating personal gifts, and sacrificing personal ministry reputation and achievements for building the Kingdom. That involves getting personal inner healing, getting equipped and getting on fire for God.
PLEASE PRAY FOR:
1. REVIVAL. Did you all know that another move of God has been launched in the United States - Kansas City, to be specific? Anyone can watch during evening sessions on the internet at www.ihop.org. I'm not sure of their Thanksgiving schedule, but you can find out on the website. They have been running the revival meetings from 6 pm to midnight. We believe this move has a much more stable foundation than the previous one in Lakeland and that it has great potential to spread throughout the world in a sustained move of God.
2. OUR AMERICAN GOVERNMENT. I trust everyone is aware of what's going on in American politics and you are praying and voicing your convictions to those who will be voting in congress and especially the senate at this time.
I encourage everyone to get a copy of Sarah Palin's new book and read it. if nothing else, it will open your eyes to the need for a cleansing in our government as well as corporate America. It's not just one side or the other. Both are corrupt.
As a result liberals can make a case against the other side, just like conservatives, but some proposed solutions to the problem are like medicines that are worse than the disease. I'm about half way through the book and have been moved to tears and well as disgust with some of the activities of corrupt and downright evil forces in our nation. We so need a cleansing and spiritual revival.
PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT!
We watched and listened to Chuck Colson on Huckabee tonight and were excited about the coming together of many Christian groups, including Evangelicals, Catholics and Orthodox church leaders, to sign the Manhattan Declaration that they would take a stand for three basic foundational principles our country was founded on:
1.the sanctity of human life
2.the dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife
3.the rights of conscience and religious liberty.
They pledged to stand up for these rights even if it meant prison or loss of non-profit status, etc. Brenda and I signed the pledge on line and you can too at: www.manhattandeclaration.org.
PLANS
We'll be home for Thanksgiving and then heading south to Orlando for the ICA conference headed up by Dr. C. Peter Wagner. We may do one meeting at Atlanta Revival Center with Vance Murphy on the way. After that we have a few days at home before we head west again to be with family for Christmas.
NEED YOUR INPUT
We wanted to touch base with our Chicago region friends before Christmas, as we've been gone for most of the past four months or more. If you would like a public meeting to hear from Brenda and me and share some fellowship together, possibly on December 9, please let us know. The schedule is tight for most people in December. We don't get a lot of meeting invitations, but still have lots of actiivities and family to see, and I know it's the same for most people.
So please let us know if you would really like to connect around then somewhere in the Chicago region. A good likelihood is somewhere in Elgin.
God bless you all!

Greetings Saints,
After a private ladies meeting tomorrow (Thursday), we head for Garner, North Carolina on Friday. We will do four meetings, at Garner Christian Fellowship, finishing up on Sunday morning. We would appreciate your earnest prayers for revival and breakthrough there.
Like other ministries are experiencing, we definitely have felt the anointing on our ministry getting stronger and stronger. We're seeing more healings and a greater flow of fresh revelation month after month and meeting after meeting. We know we are in a great time for the church. The harvesters and warriors are being woken up, raised up and mobilized. The joy of the harvest and dividing the spoils (Is. 9:3) has begun, but that joy will surely increase in the next months and years.
THE JONATHAN MODEL
God really spoke to me about Jonathan and his relatioship with David. Jonathan was raised in the palace while David was watching a few sheep, not considered worthy of consideration for the kingdom by his own father. But when Jonathan, who was the natural heir to the throne, saw the anointing on David, he said, "You will be king instead of me. and I will serve at your side. Then he gave David his royal robe, his belt, his sword and his bow. All these would be high quality and represented the authority of his royal position as well as his commitment to serve David.
I have already seen many applications of this concept, but I think God is raising up some of the least expected to serve Him in high places, while others, who seem to have all the credentials, are called to serve at their side and support them.
Jonathan had good intentions, but was not allowed to try to fulfill his commitment. Instead, he was killed in battle along with his father, King Saul. It would actually have been very difficult to watch David do things differently than his father had taught him. He would have been tempted to criticize and judge. Those who would be "Jonathans" must be willing to die to their better ideas and right to judge. They must recognize the special call and anointing from God. They must remember that God chooses the foolish things, the base things, the weak things, etc., to blow the minds of those who think they are wise, great, strong, etc.
I know that in our lives, we have been called more than once to be the Jonathans and die to our own ambitions and build another person's ministry. The great thing is that God won't allow us to humble ourselves without eventually exalting us. Then the trick is to stay humble while we are exalted, so we don't get humbled by God for our pride.
NEW BOOK IS ON THE WAY - WOULD YOU BELIEVE - A NOVEL?
My new book called, VEGGIE VILLAGE AND THE GREAT AND DANGEROUS JUNGLE, AN ALLEGORY, has been written and is being proof-read and should be ready well before Christmas if all goes well. I am very excited about this book and the possibility that it will inspire young and old to work together for the restoration of the fullness of the power of God in the church to bring in the harvest. This will be a great book for the younger generation, but needs to be read by older people as well.
Many blessings in the love of Jesus,
Ben, Brenda, Family and Team

From Farmington to El Paso
Ben Peters

www.kingdomsendingcenter.org
Greetings Friends,
FARMINGTON
We had a wonderful time in Farmington, New Mexico, this past week. We ministered to church leaders, a youth group, dozens of children and did two services on Sunday. With a name like World Harvest Center Church, you can imagine that I felt like I was at home in my own element. We spoke extensively about the harvest and the power of exports - a message I haven't yet shared with our mailing list.
Sunday evening, we had a fire tunnel especially for healing. By the time we were done we had four wonderful testimonies of healings, mostly pain disappearing, but also a diabetic free from normal symptoms. Please pray that their healings would be permanent.
EL PASO
Tonight we minister to a large prayer group from a church in El Paso, Texas. Later we will meet with youth staff and then about 45 young people. We ask for your prayers and intercession as we minister to some on-fire radical Christians, mostly Hispanic, in this border town. We are there until Friday. Also, pray for the folk across the border, who are under siege from Mafia drug cartels. Pastors are on their hit lists and have to live and minister in danger of losing their lives every day.
HOME TEAM
We are very excited to report that our home team, led by Ron and Val Coltman and Gene and Mary Ferguson, have experienced tremendous favor from God and many lives have been touched through the seminars and house network fellowships while we have been on the road. They also report that the times of worship have been incredible, led now by Jessie Seiler and Robbie Coltman.
FAMILY CONCERNS
As many of you know, our Tim and Nathan and Anthony Coltman are in Redding California, getting more ministry training under Bill Johnson. Because of our September Conference, where they led the worship, they arrived at the very last minute to attend the school in Redding. They are loving all that God is doing at Bethel Church, but they had hoped to get employment after they arrived. So far there has been nothing opening up for them. Please pray that God will provide jobs if he wants them working.
Our son-in-law, Caleb, Barbie's husband has also been laid off again. He is a welder and has had to move from job to job. Employment is getting harder to find with the down-turn in the economy. I know many are in the same boat, so let's not forget to pray for one another.
OTHER REQUESTS
We want to remind you again to pray for Lou and Celia Klaver. Lou is fighting for his life against cancer.
Another team member, Carol Danielson, asks for prayer for her daughter, who is going for more testing. The doctors fear she might have cancer.
AMERICA AND SPECIAL ELECTIONS
Please don't forget to pray for our nation. It's easy to fall into complacency and think there's nothing we can do about things going on in government, but the weapons of our warfare are mighty through God and capable of pulling down strongholds. Today, along with two gubanatorial elections and a house of representatives vote, two states are voting on marriage referendums. Please pray for Maine and Washington states that their voters would hold up the moral standards that have kept America strong. Also, please pray that righteousness and justice would rule and that corruption would be exposed and overthrown. So much depends on it for us and our children and the Kingdom harvest - even much more than you can imagine.
Thanks for all your love and support! Please keep it up! We can't do it without you and the anointing that comes through your prayers.

BUENOS DIAS FROM EL PASO, TEXAS
Ben Peters
Nov 6, 2009
www.kingdomsendingcenter.org
Greetings Amigos,
We are so enjoying the warm weather and warm hearts here in El Paso, Texas. We are ministering to the youth leaders and the youth of a large hispanic church of about 1500 people. A few, including our hosts, were friends of Andrea at CFNI in Dallas, and were on the drama team with her.
Last night our hosts took us to a high lookout post on the side of the mountain overlooking El Paso and Ciudad Juarez, across the border in Mexico. It was incredible! Juarez is a very dangerous place right now, where mafia drug gangs are killing a lot of people. Some of the pastor's lives are in great danger. Please pray for God to bring courage and revival to the people of Mexico. They are so close to us and I believe we could do a lot more to bless them with the good news of the Kingdom of God. They've had religion - now they need to see the face of God and the hand of God through on-fire and radical, miracle working lovers of Jesus.
Tonight is our final service here, which will be at the church facility. Many young people will be there. Please pray for a real visitation for these hungry youth.
Tomorrow we begin a two day drive to McComb, Mississippi, where Brenda's older sister lives. From there we head north, first to Arkansas to minister to a dear friend and her family, and then, finally, back home to Illinois for one week, before we fly to North Carolina.. It has been over six weeks since we left home and we are looking forward to seeing our home team again.
Speaking of our home team - we want to announce another Freedom - Training For Reigning Seminar. Here's the info:
SOZO 101 - An Introduction to SOZO on November 20-21, 2009 at the Northwest Assembly of God, Mt. Prospect, IL
Please join us Friday, 11/20 (7-10:00pm) for PROPHETIC 101 - Prophetic Teaching & Personal Prophetic Ministry; AND Saturday, 11/21 (9am - 5pm) SOZO 101 - Introduction to SOZO: Accessing Your Freedom in Christ (including a "live" model ministry session). This SOZO 101 training will walk you through an overview of the steps toward freedom in Christ Jesus from the discovery to deliverance process. You will receive the freedom tools you need to get free, stay free, and help others get and stay free!
Here's what folks are saying about the SOZO 101 - An Introduction to SOZO training...
"I appreciate the training & the heart you come with. I have lots to think and pray through and leave very encouraged. Blessings!" - KT from Crystal Lake, IL
"I was stretched and encouraged through this training." - DB from Buffalo Grove, IL
"Very practical & real. I liked that there was testimonies [personal stories] to go with the teaching." BB from Woodridge, IL
"You guys are awesome. Praise God for what He's doing through you." JR from Wauconda, IL
"Excellent sessions. Great atmosphere. Great people. Thanks." BF from Glenview, IL
No registration fee. Love offering will be taken. Registration requested due to limited seating of 75. Please RSVP by email to: info@kingdomsendingcenter.org. For more information on this training, go to: www.KingdomSendingCenter.org/events.htm Or call, Ron & Valerie Coltman at 847-428-0623.
Please don't forget to pray for America and get involved in taking a stand for righteousness and truth in these turbulent times. Pray that all corruption would be exposed and that America would turn back to God again. We are in a major time of shaking and America will either turn back to God or turn to other sources of security which will produce disastrous results.
That's all for now,
Blessings on you all,
Ben, Brenda, Family and Team

Greetings Amigos,
We are so enjoying the warm weather and warm hearts here in El Paso, Texas. We are ministering to the youth leaders and the youth of a large hispanic church of about 1500 people. A few, including our hosts, were friends of Andrea at CFNI in Dallas, and were on the drama team with her.
Last night our hosts took us to a high lookout post on the side of the mountain overlooking El Paso and Ciudad Juarez, across the border in Mexico. It was incredible! Juarez is a very dangerous place right now, where mafia drug gangs are killing a lot of people. Some of the pastor's lives are in great danger. Please pray for God to bring courage and revival to the people of Mexico. They are so close to us and I believe we could do a lot more to bless them with the good news of the Kingdom of God. They've had religion - now they need to see the face of God and the hand of God through on-fire and radical, miracle working lovers of Jesus.
Tonight is our final service here, which will be at the church facility. Many young people will be there. Please pray for a real visitation for these hungry youth.
Tomorrow we begin a two day drive to McComb, Mississippi, where Brenda's older sister lives. From there we head north, first to Arkansas to minister to a dear friend and her family, and then, finally, back home to Illinois for one week, before we fly to North Carolina.. It has been over six weeks since we left home and we are looking forward to seeing our home team again.
Speaking of our home team - we want to announce another Freedom - Training For Reigning Seminar. Here's the info:
SOZO 101 - An Introduction to SOZO on November 20-21, 2009 at the Northwest Assembly of God, Mt. Prospect, IL
Please join us Friday, 11/20 (7-10:00pm) for PROPHETIC 101 - Prophetic Teaching & Personal Prophetic Ministry; AND Saturday, 11/21 (9am - 5pm) SOZO 101 - Introduction to SOZO: Accessing Your Freedom in Christ (including a "live" model ministry session). This SOZO 101 training will walk you through an overview of the steps toward freedom in Christ Jesus from the discovery to deliverance process. You will receive the freedom tools you need to get free, stay free, and help others get and stay free!
Here's what folks are saying about the SOZO 101 - An Introduction to SOZO training...
"I appreciate the training & the heart you come with. I have lots to think and pray through and leave very encouraged. Blessings!" - KT from Crystal Lake, IL
"I was stretched and encouraged through this training." - DB from Buffalo Grove, IL
"Very practical & real. I liked that there was testimonies [personal stories] to go with the teaching." BB from Woodridge, IL
"You guys are awesome. Praise God for what He's doing through you." JR from Wauconda, IL
"Excellent sessions. Great atmosphere. Great people. Thanks." BF from Glenview, IL
No registration fee. Love offering will be taken. Registration requested due to limited seating of 75. Please RSVP by email to: info@kingdomsendingcenter.org. For more information on this training, go to: www.KingdomSendingCenter.org/events.htm Or call, Ron & Valerie Coltman at 847-428-0623.
Please don't forget to pray for America and get involved in taking a stand for righteousness and truth in these turbulent times. Pray that all corruption would be exposed and that America would turn back to God again. We are in a major time of shaking and America will either turn back to God or turn to other sources of security which will produce disastrous results.
That's all for now,
Blessings on you all,
Ben, Brenda, Family and Team

New Mexico - Here we come!

Dear Friends,
First, my apologies to HUB and all our mailing list for forgetting to announce the conference with Heidi Baker and others in Chicago. I didn't realize it was happening until it was over, but I had planned on letting everyone know. We, ourselves, have missed Heidi recently by always being in a different place when she is around.
We had a wonderful time in Lakeview, Oregon last week and again, the Lord showed up to touch, to heal and speak to hearts. The rest of the last week or so has been mostly activities with our boys in Redding (Tim, Nathan and Anthony Coltman) and our daughter Barbie) and her family in Sacramento. Brenda enjoyed buying some groceries for them all and a few small gifts for the grandkids. The boys in Redding had an empty fridge and were living on oatmeal, beans and cereal for the most part, but they have been having a great time just being on their own and a part of the Bethel ministry under Bill Johnson.
In Sacramento, Brenda had some wonderful unscheduled opportunites to minister to a home school/charter school combination, where our grandkids participate. The response was really amazing, especially from some parents who had never experienced prophetic ministry. After receiving ministry in the school, the parents wanted a ladies meeting in the evening. Again, there was a great response to her ministry.
Meanwhile, I have been helping watch the five grandsons and working on my new book - an allegory - called, Veggie Village and the Great and Dangerous Jungle. It's based on a vision I received in Hamilton, Ontario last Spring. Pray that I can get it finished in time for Christmas.
Today we finish our journey to Farmington, NM, and the beginning of three days of ministry. Please continue to pray for us as we travel and minister. We now have over 5000 miles on this journey with about 3000 more to go. After Farmington, we go to El Paso, TX, McComb, MS, and Paragould, AR., before getting home.
Thanks for all your prayers and support. We are so grateful for all of you!
In the wonderful love of Jesus,
Ben, Brenda, Family and Team

Greetings dear Friends,
We had a wonderful time in B.C., Canada, first ministering twice in Kamloops; and then visiting both our daughter, Andrea and her husband, Harvey, and then my brother, Fred, and his wife, Marty.
The meetings included some wonderful encounters people had with God through the moving of the Holy Spirit. There were a lot of tears of joy and release of pain, and at least two physical healings. Healing ministry has not been our primary focus, but is becoming more and more normal as we minister. We also were privileged to minister to several Kamloops pastors and spend a little time with them.
Today, we begin in Lakeview, Oregon. We have two services there before we head for Redding and Sacramento to visit our other three kids, five grandkids and one son-in-law. After that we will be in Farmington, New Mexico and then El Paso, Texas. That will take us into November. We will make a couple of other stops on the way home in Mississippi and Arkansas, to visit Brenda's oldest sister and a dear friend. In mid-November we will be in a church in North Carolina.
Our 2005 Honda turned over 201,000 miles and is still going strong, but we've had a couple of problems that required some repair. We know many of you have prayed and we trust you will continue to pray that we have no serious problems before we return home to Illinois.
We want to also let you know about another special seminar our team will be doing in Elgin, Illinois very soon. The details are below. The beautiful brochure should be on our website very soon.
