INFORMATION YOU SHOULD HAVE
Ben Peters

Dear Friends,

There is some tremendous concern among Christian leaders as to the direction our USA administration is taking us. Some of our strongest leaders are speaking out more and more forcefully. Today, I received an article on the government health plan written by Rick Joyner, who declares himself to be an "alarmist", because he sees the need to sound an alarm. His artilce can be read at:

http://www.morningstarministries.org/Publisher/Article.aspx?ID=1000054411.

Please if at all possible, take the time to read as much of this as you can. It has a lot of detailed facts and information and a heart to stop the kind of change that will destroy us. As I've said many times, a tornado brings change, but few of us would enjoy that change.

We have tried to keep our political input down to a minimum as I know many readers don't really want to get depressed with negative news. But I will continue to ask you all to pray for America like never before. You may see things differently, but our biggest problem is not the economy - it is the soul and character of our nation - our leaders and our people.

I always have good news about what I believe God is doing and will do. He is coordinating a lot of things, including serious crises to get us seeking Him again, and a transfer of wealth to facilitate the harvest. I believe we will see much more of these taking place in the next months and years. If you can't pray more specifically, at least pray passionately that God's will be done in America and the whole world, which is affected by what happens here.

Pray also for Israel to be protected from foolish or wicked political leaders in other nations, including America, who pressure them to weaken their own security. May Jesus call His people to Himself in these days, and may He protect them through this troubled time.

God bless you all,

Ben, Brenda, Family and Team

GREETINGS FROM AFRICA
Ben Peters
Jul 25, 2009


www.ohmint.org

Dear precious Friends,

I'm hoping to get this off while the internet is working as it has been off most of the week.

Our time in Africa has been extremely rewarding. Our team, led by Jonathan Seiver, is awesome and amazing. We are a team of 17, which reminds me of Jesus prayer in John 17 that they would all be one as He was one with His Father. We have truly had amazing unity.

Most of the team had three days in Johannesburg, South Africa. We had three wonderful meetings in a church pastored by Felito, who was our first director of outreach our first team trip to Pemba. His church has quickly grown to 250 members in a very humble shack-house neighborhood. It is winter in the Southern Hemisphere and these people survive without heat or electricity or running water with the temperatures getting below freezing at night. But, oh how they love Jesus! I got to preach twice there and it was so much fun feeding off their anointing and love for Jesus.

Here in Pemba, Mozambique, we have had a wonderful bonding time, ministering to each one prophetically as a team. Jonathan and I will head home tomorrow, but most of the team has one more week. Lyn Jackson will be the team leader after our departure. Heidi has been gone while we've been here, but she will return before the team leaves for home. Last night I spoke and our team ministered to the Missions School folk who were not on the outreach and some of the missionaries who live here. We had five prophetic teams and everyone was incredibly blessed, according to the reports coming back to us.

Earlier yesterday we went to another village where Iris is developing a model base that can be duplicated in every village where they have a church. They are raising chickens and goats, planting vegetable gardens, feeding orphans and widows and teaching the people to help themselves out of poverty. The gospel is always preached and people are coming to Jesus. Our team did a drama and a lot of children's ministry there. Scores of village kids showed up for the fun and excitement and special games.

Meanwhile, back at home, Brenda and Jess have been busy doing home groups, soaking sessions and a seminar with Ron and Val Coltman, last night. The turnout was great and we are so excited about the way God is leading our team. Just like Jonathan and the other leaders here, they are taking the initiative, not waiting for us to tell them what to do. We are beginning to offer many types of seminars to anyone who wants to host them. We are partnering with several churches and leaders to offer these seminars to train and send out Kingdom harvestors.

I have tried to keep up with the news from home while in Africa and I encourage everyone to pray for America. So many things are happening so fast, so as to overwhelm the Christian opposition. I do believe God is going to intervene before too long, but the church must respond with prayer and intercession during this troubling time.

Also pray for us as we prepare for a trip to Korea as soon as I get back from Africa. Brenda's dad is failing again, not eating for days at a time and she needs to know that God will keep him around while we are gone. We really appreciate your intercession for this.

Remember also to keep September 10-12 on your calendar for our Kings and Kingdoms Conference in Lombard, IL, with Shawn Bolz, Bobby Conner and David Tomberlin.

That's all for now, except that I have begun another book, based on a quick vision God gave me in Hamilton, Ontario, earlier this month. It's more of a story and allegory. The latest title I have for it is VEGGIE VILLAGE AND THE GREAT AND DANGEROUS JUNGLE. Hope that gets you curious.

Many blessings,

Ben, Brenda, Family and Team

Greetings Friends,

Tomorrow afternoon I head for Mozambique via Atlanta and South Africa. There are 17 of us on the team and my major responsibility is to be a papa to all the younger adventurers and lovers of Jesus. We plan on baptizing everyone who is willing to be a true disciple and follow Jesus to the ends of the earth and to live and die for Him.

The newest good news that we can now confirm is that we have a more convenient location for many folk for two of our upcoming and important events. Those who live in the Chicago region will be happy to hear that our next public event will be held in Lombard, Illinois, at the Fountain of Life Church facility. The event is the second Kingdom Sending Center Freedom Seminar this month and will be held on July 24, 25. Brenda will kick this one off on Friday, July 24, while I am still in Africa.

The next major event will be our September KINGS AND KINGDOMS CONFERENCE, and it will also be held At the Fountain of Life Church facility in Lombard. The dates for that are September 10-12, 2009. We have some of our most favorite speakers, highly endorsed by our youth, coming to this event, namely, David Tomberlin, Shawn Bolz and Bobby Conner.

Our website will soon be updated with this new information.

Our next newsletter should also provide more information.

That's all for now!

Blessings from Jesus!

Message from Dr. Bob Paeglow
Ben Peters
Jul 8, 2009


www.ohmint.org

Greetings dear Saints,

There's lots going on and I'll share more soon, but I just wanted to get this response to my last letter, called, WHAT'S UP, GOD? I know you will enjoy what Dr. Bob has to say.


Ben,

I love your words and I believe you are "right on the money"! I've prayerfully contemplated why things seem to be such a struggle when we believe we are moving in what God wants us to do. I was praying for transformation recently. I was lamenting before the Lord, "Lord, why do you have us praying and working, giving up everything(which isn't entirely true) to see transformation and we don't seem to see it, at least to the degree that I would like to see it. What is it going to take?" I believe I heard the Lord say, "When my leaders forsake their pride and humble themselves, and work together, you will have it!"

Our biggest obstacle working here in the inner city is not poverty, its pride. Everybody seems to want to have their own program, everybody seems to be jealous of any one else's giftings, unwilling to serve one another or work towards each others success. Coveting each other's gifts, position, and ministry is commonplace. This results in duplication and waste of resources, missed opportunities, division, sickness, I could go on and on. Do you think the fact that we have over 30,000 denominations is pleasing to the Lord? It's an abomination! When I see one of these small storefront churches spring up here in the inner city around a particular aspect of the faith, I cry! We don't need small, mostly ineffective, churches, we need to come together. We cannot seem to come together as a body because all of us are trying to prove that we are somehow better, or our answer is righter, or worse the only answer, or our programs are better, yadda,yadda, yadda,ad nauseum.

IIChronicles 7:14 which we are always quick to quote and use to pray for revival contains 4 conditions before you get to God's promise "then I will heal your land." The first, and probably most difficult, condition states: " If my people.... will humble themselves" Our land remains unhealed because we have not even gotten to first base in God's recipe for revival. We have not humbled ourselves, it is humility and submission which causes a body to come together and function efficiently.

I am a doctor and have been trained to understand how the body functions. I have been humbled enough in my profession to realize how little I know, and trust me I am one of the leaders in my profession in the country, about the intricacies of God's creation. I do know this much, however. If my hand doesn't submit to my upper arm, my body is in chaos, and if neither submits to my brain, we have utter disaster. We must humble ourselves, and not only pray, but lay down our lives for the Unity of the Body of Christ.

I'll end with a brief story. A number of years ago I was active in a Bible Study in the town where we lived at the time. I was a real "hot shot" so full of myself, knowing all the right answers, the right scriptures, etc. I got into a heated dispute with a brother over the theology of healing, of all things! It got pretty nasty and the meeting ended on a sour note as far as I was concerned. The next morning I was driving myself into work, I was feeling an offense, and I was praying:"Lord which one of us was right?" The answer that came to me was so powerful I had to pull off the road. I was weeping so strongly I couldn't see to continue to drive!

The Lord said to me,"I am not going to tell you who is right because your heart is not right! It is just like when you get into an argument with your wife. You will continue the fight until she comes over to agree with you, even when you're wrong. It is because being right is more important to you than you're relationship together. Repent! Think about my son Jesus. He hung on the cross and bore every offense. He was crucified and he was right, He was innocent, but he didn't return the offense heaped on him, as you are so quick to do. When will you realise that being in a love relationship is more important than being right? Join my son in His suffering so that true unity can come forth. Unity begins with U(you)! It doesn't come from singing a few nice songs and saying a bunch of feel good words at some meeting. It will happen when you die to yourself, not returning offenses but causing them to stop right there with you.

I hope this might be of some encouragement.
Dr Bob

KINGDOM SENDING CENTER PROGRESS REPORT
Ben Peters
Jul 10, 2009


www.ohmint.org

Greetings Friends,

Thanks to hours and hours of voluteer work from our amazing team leaders, we are getting closer and closer to the legal and practical operating status of our Kingdom Sending Center.

We continue to use the name Open Heart Ministries, but our legal covering entity will be Kingdom Sending Center. As of July 1, our books and banking system have been converted over to KSC - not to be confused with KFC. There's nothing "chicken" about the KSC.

NEW MAILING ADDRESS

We will still live and receive some mail at our South Beloit address, but we will begin to publicise our new ministry address, which is:

Kingdom Sending Center

P.O. Box 25

Genoa, IL 60135

Brenda and I will be on the road or overseas much in the next several months, but we will always be in touch with our team via email. Most correspondence, including support, should be sent to the Genoa address above. We will be informed immediately by email when donations arrive to keep it as personal as possible. We will also attempt to send you a personal thank you note - preferably by email, if we have your email address.

For your information, if you were not aware of it, you can also make donations on our website: www.ohmint.org. You can also order our books there. A new web site is also in the works, thanks to our super-talented team members.

FIRST KINGDOM SENDING CENTER OFFICIAL EVENT STARTS TONIGHT

One of the first emphases of our KSC is personal freedom and inner healing. This weekend seminar at New Covenant Church in Elgin, Illinois, will be a special time for us to share some very important principles with you. I will be speaking tonight to kick off the seminar. Saturday morning's session will be at the Eagle's Nest on Chicago St. in Elgin. You will receive some great practical training there. Our hosts are asking for $10.00 per person for the morning session only.

MISSIONS TRIPS BEGIN NEXT WEEK

We so appreciate our intercessors and we'll be counting on them next week when I take another large team to Mozambique. I leave on Wednesday and look forward to being with some very special people on this trip. Pray for Brenda and family and team. Brenda has a busy schedule while I'm gone.

I return on July 27 and leave for Korea with Brenda on July 31 for two weeks. I will be enjoying four attacks of jetlag in a short period of time. Please pray that I can sleep well and stay healthy. Also pray much for Brenda. She was very sick the last trip to Korea.

There's much more going on, but that's all for now. It's 4:44 AM and I should get back to sleep for a couple of hours. By the way, the number 4 represents good news - the gospel - to me. When you are loved by Jesus, there's always good news.

Many blessings to you all,

Ben, Brenda, Family and Team

EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENTS and HAPPY 4TH OF JULY
Ben Peters
Jul 4, 2009


www.ohmint.org

Greetings Saints of the Most High God and citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth,

We're in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada on the Fourth of July. We arrived on July 2nd, just after Canada Day - July 1. But we're having a little fireworks here in my own home and native land, as people are getting saved, healed and empowered with fresh fire from God. With three other revivalists - Jim Paul, Bobby Sullivan and David Tomberlin, we're having an awesome time.

Here's some wonderful Fourth of July quotes from our American Founding Fathers.

"The highest glory of the American Revolution was this; it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity." - John Q. Adams
"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here." - Patrick Henry
Check out the next one considering our present situation:

"There are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by the gradual and silent encroachment of those in power, than by violent an sudden usurpation." - James Madison
"If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper; but if we and our posterity neglect its instruction and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may ovenvhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity." - Daniel Webster
EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENTS

1. FREEDOM - TRAINING FOR REIGNING - ACCESSING YOUR FREEDOM IN CHRIST - PREPARING TO TAKE YOUR KINGDOM MOUNTAIN.

There will be two such seminars in July. Both seminars will include personal prophetic ministry. Trainers will include Ben and Brenda Peters, Ron and Val Coltman.

A. The first is next weekend in Elgin. It will begin on Friday evening, July 10 and conclude on Saturday morning, July 11.

Session one will be held at New Covenant Church - 865 Parkway Avenue, Elgin, IL 60120, from 7 pm to 10:30 pm. Friday.

Session two will be held at Light & Life Ministries/Elgin House of Prayer, (Eagle’s Nest Church) 270 E. Chicago St., Elgin, IL 60120 at 9 am to noon, Saturday. Light and Life ministries will be charging a registration fee of $10/person for the morning session.

B. The second will be July 24, 25, at Fountain of Life Church in Lombard and will include a Saturday afternoon session as well.

2. KINGS AND KINGDOMS CONFERENCE, SEPTEMBER 10-12.

SHAWN BOLZ, BOBBY CONNER AND DAVID TOMBERLIN WILL BE SERVING US THIS COMING

Final details are still to come, but please save these dates.

3. OVERSEAS TRIPS COMING RIGHT UP

MOZAMBIQUE: I, Ben, will be leaving July 15 with a team of 17 saints. I will be coming home on July 27. Please pray as often as you can for God's direction, protection and miracle anointing on all of us. Pray for a release of radical love and compassion and passion for intimacy with Jesus.

SOUTH KOREA: Brenda and I leave for South Korea, on July 31 and return August 15. Pray for grace and stamina, as we will be ministering for many hours every day without a day off for two weeks.

Please pray that God will take care of all the needs of our family and team while we are away.

Thank you all for your prayers and faithful support. We survive and thrive only by the miracle power of God. Without Him and His people we would have had to quit years ago. We can't thank you enough.

God bless you,

Ben, Brenda, Family and Team

WHAT'S UP, GOD?
Ben Peters
Jun 27, 2009


www.ohmint.org

Greetings Saints,

God gave me some inspiration tonight and the following article is the result. I'd love your feedback.

Blessings,

ben




WHAT’S UP GOD?



Perhaps you are holding onto specific promises from God like we are. Perhaps you are waiting for a breakthrough in issues of finances, health, or relationships. Are you struggling to maintain your faith, hope and patience? The seers are seeing great events about to take place, the “naba” prophets are bubbling over and pouring out a powerful waterfall of amazing “words” from Heaven, and the internet newsletters are encouraging everyone to press on. But the fulfillment keeps being pushed back. We thought the promises were for last year and now we’re being made to wait for next year. What’s up, God?

A few months ago, a trusted team member told me that he had a brief word for us. It was simply, “Hold on!” We’ve been doing that since that day. We’ve just kept ahead of disaster on several fronts, but we’ve been holding on. Several accidents in our extended family occurred in a matter of a couple of weeks. We were out of a car for two weeks and had to pay a $500.00 deductible because a deer crossing the toll-way wanted to redesign our Honda’s front end. Brenda’s old whiplash injuries made a comeback, and she has had to make several trips to a chiropractor to stop the pain from her head, jaw, neck, back and tailbone.

Brenda’s sixty-six year older sister is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and her eighty-seven year old mother just found out she has congestive heart failure. Her dad is still alive in the care center, but has severe dementia and other lingering stroke symptoms. Brenda calls her mom once or twice every day and always feels sad that she can’t be with her mom to help her more. Instead she flies out to Washington State as often as possible for a few days when she gets a break from meetings and we find a way to afford it.

Meanwhile, the anointing increases on our ministry. Prophetic revelation comes in powerful waves of the Holy Spirit. Doors open and God leads us through them. People are constantly telling us how much the ministry has encouraged them. It helps us keep holding on and believing God for the miracles we need.

So what’s up? What’s going on in the Heavens? What is the big picture and what is God up to? I think I just got a little clue.

We are waiting for a very specific promise from God, which has been given and prophetically confirmed through reliable men and women of God. It involves both a spiritual awakening to bring in the harvest and a huge transfer of wealth to facilitate the harvest. The transfer of wealth involves fresh and world-transforming technology that will be a huge catalyst in the spiritual awakening.

Here’s a fresh revelatory insight on this situation:

God is coordinating the timing of these world-changing events, but His timing depends on the hunger and passion of the church. God intends to work with His church to build His Kingdom. He could do it sovereignly, but He has given us great authority as kings serving under the King of kings, and He wants us to use that authority by making declarations and decrees as any king would do.

The personal problems that so many people, including ministries, are going through, are parallel and prophetic of the problems that are still in Kingdom saints and churches. We have to hold on simply because God, Himself, has to hold on until we begin to cooperate with Him to bring about the divine partnership of the great harvest and the great transfer of wealth.

God is waiting for His children to rise up in genuine humility and embrace their royal assignment to rule and reign on the mountains of society. My personal assignment is to inform and motivate all generations so they will rise up and climb to a higher place to take dominion of the mountains that belong to God. I am called to do this through speaking, teaching, writing, prophesying and the establishment of our Kingdom Sending Center.

We just received a wonderful testimony from Rolland Baker, who has been through a very difficult season in the last two years. He has been receiving healing through a combination of spiritual, natural and medical treatments. James Goll has been using a parallel combination of treatments for his cancer. After losing his own wife to cancer, he found a card she had written telling him to hold on and never give up or quit. Another very dear friend, Paula Benne, is now receiving help through a combination treatment as well, after a long and severe struggle with terrible physical attacks on her health.

I truly believe that God is loudly speaking something to those who have ears to hear. What is He saying? He is saying that we all need each other and we need to use all the gifts and the resources that He has given to us. He will not allow us to be the super hero that can solve every problem through our own great faith. We must come back to the prayer of Jesus in John 17. Until we have Jesus’ passion for unity and the passion for the building and expansion of His Kingdom, we are not prepared for the great harvest and the great transfer of wealth.

Our tendency without godly passion for unity and Kingdom expansion would be to try to market whatever God does. What I mean is, we would try to channel the harvest into our own church, denomination or movement. We would try to have a bigger healing ministry than the next evangelist. We would find ways to increase our personal advantage and financial security in the transfer of wealth.

The solution is for God’s people to draw closer to God and to His blood-bought saints at the same time. We all need to use our gifts to help one another accomplish this. We also all need to recognize each other’s gifts to accomplish this.

We need to get healed of personal wounds and we need to help others get healed so they can work well with others and put first the Kingdom of God instead of their own wounded flesh. Again, we must work together. It is God’s idea, and the epistles of the apostles confirmed it repeatedly. What makes us think that we can accomplish God’s purposes and plans without obeying His commands to guard and protest the unity and to edify His body with our spiritual gifts? It’s just not going to happen.

Thus, I believe the first awakening in the body of Christ is an awakening of our total dependence on Jesus by depending on one another as members of His body on the earth. Unfortunately, God has to shake our own faith in our own faith and in our own spiritual gifts, by holding back some of our answers to prayer until we humble ourselves and call on others to assist us, thus employing the unemployed members of the body of Christ.

This thought never occurred to me until I wrote the last line, but unemployment in the body of Christ is much higher than in the state of Michigan or California. We must put every card-carrying member of the “Body of Christ Union” back to work. We must not be satisfied just because we have discovered our own spiritual gifts. We must also activate others and put them to work in the body of Jesus Christ. He is the anointed one and we are His body on the earth, which does His work under the anointed Head. Every member needs to function according to I Corinthians 12.

So, people of God, hold on to your promises, but do your part to hasten the fulfillment of your promises by increasing your passion for the unity of the body of Christ on the earth and your passion for the expansion of the Kingdom of God. Fight your own flesh and humble yourself to get the help you need, whatever it takes. Make things right with brothers and sisters in the body of Christ and encourage others to do the same.

Prophesy encouragement to others to activate their gifts and bring healing to their souls. Pray and intercede for souls and for God to shake the mountains of society. Read and pray Isaiah 64 for Israel and for America or your own nation. Also pray for injustice and corruption to be exposed quickly. Let the mountains of government, finance, media, religion, family, arts and education be purified in the shaking and in the fire of God’s presence, which comes when we carry His presence up to the top of these mountains.

The promises of God will surely be fulfilled. But they will be fulfilled more quickly if we cooperate with the passion of Jesus, which is also the passion of our Heavenly Father and His Holy Spirit. I don’t want these promises to be postponed any longer. Let’s work together to hasten their fulfillment for the glory of God. So pass the passion on to someone! It WILL make a difference!

DAVID TOMBERLIN MEETINGS

What a powerful party we had this past week! I picked up David Tomberlin at O'Hare at 6 pm and rushed him to Wooded Hills Bible Church in Colgate Wisconsin, arriving about 8 pm on Thursday night. We had a very fruitful time together with this amazing church. They had brought some homeless people from Milwaukee. One of them, a younger lady, had both her knees healed and was very excited that she didn't have to go back to the doctor. An elder of the church also discovered his pain was gone from his knees after prayer. David had given a word of knowledge about people with two bad knees. Many others were touched and David's testimony is amazing and powerful. I got David to his motel in Kenosha early Friday morning after driving in a deluge for an hour. He was like Jesus, asleep in the boat during the storm. He had just got back from an around the world trip and was severly jet-lagged. I was straining to see the road most of the way, doing about 30 - 40 mph on the freeway. Then I drove another hour and a half to get home at 2:15 AM.

Friday night was our first night in Kenosha at Lakeshore Tabernacle. We were hit by an even bigger storm with tornado warnings and major flooding. I got within two blocks of David's hotel to pick him up and could not get any closer. Meanwhile more flooding was happening and some streets were rushing rivers. I had to find another way back to the church. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get back. Praise God for our GPS system. Brenda and I shared that night and we had an awesome ministry time.

Saturday night, the streets were clear and David had an amazing message and ministered many words of knowledge which resulted in many people being touched. Anthony Coltman led two powerful afternoon sessions and our worship team led by Tim and several others brought the sweet presence of God to the meeting.

Sunday morning we went to Deerfield, Illinois, and ministered at the Chicago River Church. It was a very anointed time with some precious folk. They will shortly move their services to the Wingate Hotel off of Willow/Palletine Rd, Milwaukee Rd, and I-94. Anyone in the suburbs north of Chicago looking for a small family church will love this group pastored by Matt and Sarah Lee.

ACCIDENT UPDATE

Our car is getting repaired. We are still making do, helping the boys get to work at their Starbucks stores. Brenda is getting back and neck pain relief through prayer and chiropractic treatments from a wonderful Christian man, Dr. Niequist, in Algonquin, IL.

COMING EVENTS

We're getting ready for a lot of travel in the coming months. Here's the itinerary:

Tonight, June, 23, we minsiter at a private home group in Illinois.

Saturday, June 27, Brenda ministers to a small and private ladies retreat.

July 1-4, we will be with Jim Paul in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, ministering with David Tomberlin.

July 15, I leave for Mozambique and South Africa - returning July 27.

July 20, Brenda and Jess minister to the EHOP team in Elgin, IL

July 24, 25, Brenda ministers with Ron and Val Coltman at a Sozo Seminar - open to all. For more info:

http://ohmint.org/conferences.html

July 31, Brenda and I leave for Korea - returning August 15.

Aug. 26-29, we minister at House of Hope Conference in Orlando, Florida.

MAJOR CONFERENCE - SEPTEMBER 10-12, WITH SHAWN BOLZ, BOBBY CONNER AND DAVID TOMBERLIN

Location yet to be confirmed.

SEPTEMBER - OCTOBER CROSS-CONTINENTAL TOUR

We feel God is leading us to do a major traveling tour this fall, starting in Saskatchewan and Alberta and moving down into the northwest, then into British Colombia and down into Oregon, California and other states, such as Nevada, New Mexico and Texas before returning home. It's been a long time since we've been in many of these states and we are feeling that God wants us to renew some of these relationships and develop new ones. We also want to spread the Kingdom Mountain message to raise up conquerors for every mountain of society.

If you are one of those who have invited us in recent months, or if you have a strong desire to have us come to your neighborhood and you feel that you could host a meeting or two, please get in touch with us asap to let us know you are interested. We can work with the details later, but I'd like some feedback from you if you are strongly interested. We can only do so many meetings on this tour, so we can't guarantee that we can come to your community, but we'll do our best.

THANKS TO ALL WHO PRAY FOR US AND SUPPORT US WITH ENCOURAGING WORDS AND FINANCES!!!

MUCH LOVE TO ALL,

Ben, Brenda, Family and Top-Shelf Team

Accident Update and Conference Reminder

Greetings Saints,

ACCIDENT UPDATE

The official news is that the deer was totalled beyond repair, but the Honda will survive after all and be returned in good condition in about one week.

Brenda has suffered a significant amount of pain and has had two chiropractic treatments that have cut down the pain significantly. We highly recommend Dr. Niequist on Highway 31 in Algonquin, Illinois. Brenda will take several more treatments until she is like new again. Thank you so much for all your prayers. So many responded, we couldn't write you all back at this point. But thanks from the bottom of our hearts.

God has shown us we are in a new day of ministry breakthrough and are at a new level of attack. In response, God is giving us a greater covering of intercession. New intercessors have joined the team in praying for us and our ministry team. We are so grateful to God for these awesome and amazing people.

DAVID TOMBERLIN AND THE GLORY EXPLOSION CONFERENCE - THIS FRIDAY, SATURDAY, JUNE 19, 20, IN KENOSHA

It's been called by several names but one thing for sure: It's going to be very exciting and a great blessing to many people. The youth and young adults (like Brenda and I) will especially enjoy it, but feel free to bring everyone you can who wants to hear a real man of God tell it like it is without the religious stuff attached. Bring the sick as well. Miracles will happen and God will touch your heart and those you bring. There will be afternoon sessions with Anthony Coltman and our other team youth leaders, as well as the evening sessions with David.

Greetings Saints,

As we've said before, when we became a part of the Kingdom of Heaven, we got our uniforms and were placed in the army of the Lord. The prince of the kingdom of darkness recognizes the uniform and we all face his nasty attacks. That's why it is so important that we stay in a place of intimacy with God and close relationships with His people. Together, as we draw near to God, we receive wisdom and strategy that always gives us an unfair advantage over the enemy.

We know many of you are experiencing attacks of different kinds as we all are. This is a turbulent season for our nation and the church. We need to support one another as never before with every kind of encouragement possible. Together we can accomplish more than all the forces of darkness. We pray that all of you will grow greatly in this time of trial and learn to use the powerful gifts and graces that God has given you.

WONDERFUL NEWS!!!

We have an exciting announcement from two proud grandparents. Moriah Kate Peters was born this afternoon to proud parents, Ken and Valencia in Spokane, Washington, and she is an extremely beautiful baby.

DALLAS REPORT

It's hard to sum up briefly what happened on our Texas journey, but we had one divine encounter after another. At the same time we experienced some intense spiritual warfare. The final meeting, in which I was to deliver a brief charge to the arts and media delegates, found Brenda out in the lobby and side rooms ministering to many desperate folk, including some which she immediately knew were severly suicidal. We also ministered to a team of leaders from a church pastored by Steve Hill in Dallas. They were a wonderful group and we were connected through a couple we had ministered to years ago in Lakeview, Oregon. In response to the word we had given them, they decided to serve God with all their heart and went to Christ for the Nations in Dallas. There they connected with other leaders in Steve Hill's church. They were extremely appreciative of the words we gave them.

Other encounters included a precious Korean gal, named On. We also got to know Sally Robson, an associate of Shawn Bolz. I also had a few moments with Lance Walnau, who was really incredible again. I was able to follow up his seven mountain teaching with my teaching on Kings on the Mountains. Of course, everyone loved Brenda's speaking and also her prophetic ministry. Jess was also at our side prophesying and loving people. Rayanna Fields and her Kaleidescope team did an incredible job administrating the conference.

ON DECK

Coming right up we will be in Elgin at The Milk Pail Restaurant for a meeting this Thursday night at 7 pm. No natural food will be served. We will have a ministry team with us.

Friday and next Tuesday we will be doing private home meetings.

DAVID TOMBERLIN

David's first meeting will be on Thursday, June 18, at the WOODED HILLS BILBE CHURCH in Colgate, Wisconsin at 7 pm. Wooded Hills have invited all churches in their region to participate in this special event. They want to promote a spirit of unity and Kingdom Team cooperation for the glory of God. Colgate is a few miles northwest of Milwaukee.

Friday and Saturday, we will host David at the Lakeshore Tabernacle in Kenosha, Wisconsin, just across the border from Illinois. Please visit our website: www.ohmint.org for more details. This event will be very fun for all generations and David Tomberlin has a special humor that is loved especially by the youth and young adults, which, of course, includes me. He really cracked me up laughing at our February conference.

In the afternoons of both Friday and Saturday we will provide an awesome time of intense worship led by Anthony Coltman, a powerful young man of God, with a heart for intimacy with God. Besides worship there will be other special things happening and we encourage you not to miss it if you are able to get there.

On Sunday morning, David will be ministering at the CHICAGO RIVER CHURCH. The church meets at 10:30 AM at Wilmot Elementary School, on 795 Wilmot Rd, in Deerfield, IL 60015.

MORE TRAVEL COMING

Please pray for our upcoming trips to Africa and Korea this summer. We trust God to take care of every details and are very thankful for all who participate in prayer and support.

After Korea, we make a quick trip to Florida and then we come back to a wonderful conference with Shawn Bolz, Bobby Conner and David Tomberlin.

Many wonderful blessings to you all,

Ben, Brenda, Family and our Special Forces Team

WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED

Greetings Saints,

WATERING HOLE REPORT

What an atmosphere of faith and expectation we experienced yesterday in Lombard, IL! Brenda and I experienced a very strong anointing and revelation was flowing. Many exciting things happened at this meeting. We believe some received salvation, many were set free from bondages and discouragement. Five gifted prophetic teams ministered for about three hours after the service until everyone received a special blessing. It was a very exciting time for all of us.

I'D LOVE YOUR FEEDBACK ON THIS ONE

At our last conference where my new book, KINGS AND KINGDOMS, was released, Jim Paul, one of our speakers asked me if I would write a follow-up book that would be more of a practical workbook and guide for people to find their place on their Kingdom mountain.

The message of taking the seven mountains of society is one of the most significant themes in the prophetic movement these days. Lance Walnau, a very anointed and brilliant teacher is spreading this message along with many others. My book, Kings and Kingdoms, combined this message with the concept of being kings unto God on these mountains.

By God's grace and with the wonderful help of His anointing, the new book, FINDING YOUR PLACE ON YOUR KINGDOM MOUNTAIN, is now finished and ready to order. This book goes into some detail to help every Christian find his or her place on one or more of these mountains, with discussion questions following each segment of information.

This book can be studied on a personal basis, but it would also be excellent as a group study for church or home group. As far as I know, there is no other book on the market that covers this material. I believe it was written in the timing of God for the purpose of building the Kingdom of God on the earth. I believe it will have an eternal impact on every life, just as the revelation has impacted mine.

Before I make my first order in the next couple of days, I'd like to get some feedback, especially from leaders. Are you interested in using this book and if so, how many copies would you anticipate using. I would be able to offer a good discount for bulk orders of any size. I would also combine the two Kingdom books so that people get the proper foundation before building something that won't stand the storms of life.

So please let me know so I can make a wise order. If you just want a copy for yourself, you can let me know that too.

God bless you all,

Ben, Brenda, Family and Team

GREATER GLORY CONTINUES
Ben Peters
Apr 29, 2009

Greetings Dear Friends,

WOODED HILLS CONFERENCE

Our Sunday morning service in Colgate, Wisconsin, was beyond our expectations as God directed a glorious time in His awesome presence. I preached one of my shortest messages ever. It was from Isaiah 44, on God pouring out his Spirit on our sons and daughters. Then I invited all children and youth from school age to 25 years old. There must have been about 80 of them - more than I expected from looking at the crowd. Our team and the elders anointed them and we divided them into several teams. The rest of the people were invited to come for ministry, whether for healing or a word from Jesus or anything else.

I just got a report today that children, with the help of one leader, led an adult to receive Jesus. How awesome!. Then I was asked to pray for a girl (about 12 or 13) who came with a hearing defect from birth in one ear. After prayer she could hear me rubbing my fingers together in the bad ear. She was from an un-churched home and came with a friend. Then I found out she had been touched by God when we anointed all the children. She had told someone that when she was touched she felt like Jesus came into her. How great is our God!!!

The church has several young gals who are gifted and trained with banners, flags and dance. They were in one group praying for people. They told me that everyone they prayed for went down in the Spirit. Many of them were down for some time. One lady shared a very significant victory that took place as she lay under the anointing in the glory of God's presence.

THIS FRIDAY, SATURDAY AT KOREAN CHURCH - CHICAGO ASSEMBLY OF GOD IN MOUNT PROSPECT, ILLINOIS

We minister at 8 pm this Friday and Saturday in Mount Prospect. The address is: 618 E. Golf Rd. Pray that we would have another touch of revival.

SPECIAL PRAYER REQUEST

We have friends in Wisconsin, John and Lori Beil, who have two amazing children with M.D., who have been living in wheel chairs for many years. Both are now in college and are radical for Jesus. Michael was hit by a car while crossing the street in his wheel chair and had his femur bone broken and cuts on his face. He goes into surgery tomorrow to have a metal rod put into his leg. It would be a great time for a miracle. Thanks.

KINGDOM SENDING CENTER

I believe God is revealing more of our vision and strategy for His Kingdom Sending Center. I now believe we will not only be preparing people to send them into the harvest fields as missionairies to Africa, etc., but we will be sending them equipped to go to the seven mountains of society to rule and reign as kings and queens under the King of kings. This will involve using many different types of training for the different mountains of society.

Please pray for the quick release of all the resources needed for this and other ministry projects.

God bless you all with His glorious presence, love and prosperity - Shalom!

Ben, Brenda, family and team

CONFERENCE REPORT

Greetings from Wooded Hills Bible Church in Colgate Wisconsin, where we are having a precious visitation from God. Every service has been anointed and many lives have been touched for eternity. We are blessed to have a wonderful team along since Saturday noon, which includes some of our youth worship team. They, along with the church's worship team have ushered in a powerful presence of God. Val Coltman and Mary Ferguson taught workshops and people were greatly encouraged and enlightened. We are heading for the morning service which will be the final one of this conference.

We have a continuing relationship with Wooded Hills and we are becoming more bonded with them for the future harvest.

SPECIAL REQUEST

Our dear friend and ministry associate, Lisa Bourland, has been going to the devasted country of Zimbabwe. Along with Jordon Sekulow, son of Jay Sekulow of the ACLJ (American Center for Law and Justice), she has had the privilege of ministering to the new Prime Minister of Zimbabwe and is heading back again. They believe that sanctions need to be lifted off of Zimbabwe for the sake of the people living in poverty and starvation. If you can take a minute to read the letter and respond, we would all be very grateful.

Be blessed!

Ben, Brenda, Family and Team

Dear Father’s Family,

Below is the link to ACLJ's first of two TV shows on Zimbabwe and the beginning of our petition to the US government on easing sanctions now. Jordan Sekulow has done an incredible job of preparing and presenting the facts of our journey and calling into Zimbabwe. Jordan has prepared all of his life for “such a time as this.” He is truly being raised up as a voice to the world!

The first show features ZINRI (Pastor Alex), our children in Epworth, and Minister Eric Matinenga. This show started airing all over the world two days ago with an amazing response.

Show 2, beginning next Friday, will feature Prime Minister Tsvangirai, Dr. Shana Goodwill, and our Women, Weapons of Warfare Conference a few weeks ago in Harare.

I am asking each and every one of you to call 1.877.989.2255 to sign our ACLJ petition to have sanctions lifted off our precious Zimbabwe now! This petition will be delivered to President Obama. We must give this new unity government a chance to work. We have truly been positioned to STAND in the gap for an entire nation and the Lord keeps telling me that this is just the beginning! Be Heard now by calling today 1.877.989.2255!

I am returning to Zimbabwe tomorrow to share with the county (10 provinces in 10 days) what is happening with our ACLJ petitions and the rallying of the Christian community to their support! Please cover us in prayer as we make this journey! Our team will consist of Lisa (me), Pastor Vicky, Petra, and Michael and Brandon Lanham.

When you watch this show it will bring everything into a much clearer focus:

PLEASE GOD, GIVE US WISDOM
Ben Peters
Apr 20, 2009


www.ohmint.org

Greetings Friends,

With all the crazy things happening in the political and financial world, along with all of our own personal and family issues, including health and relationships, who could not use a whole lot more wisdom today? Ben and Brenda Peters sure could! We have decisions to make, problems to solve and hundreds of people who look to us for vision and direction. Like Solomon, we can say we need God's wisdom and understanding to lead God's precious people. Since we haven't said much on our newsletter before, let me summarize our heart and vision for the coming days.

CLARIFYING THE VISION

The BIG issue and purpose for us in these days is THE HARVEST. Everything we do as Open Heart Ministries has that as its ultimate purpose. Right now, we are in the season of birthing and preparing the harvestors. We are very convinced that the events of the next two years or so will bring major changes to America and the western world. We anticipate a major revival and a huge transfer of wealth to Kingdom-minded people who will bank-roll the harvest. We believe the world will be shaken both financially and politically. We believe that God will save America from the destruction our leaders are heading us for because God He has a purpose for us, and we believe His covenant with early Americans, such as the Pilgrims, will be renewed.

God clearly told me to start a Sending Center to send out harvestors. We are now in the process of organizing a new 501c-3 non-profit corporation to make it official under the name KINGDOM SENDING CENTER. Our ministry has been training and sending people to various harvest fields in an informal way for several years, but we are planning on getting serious about having a place and staff to facilitate a much more intense training program. Our team leaders are working hard to do the preparation work. When finances become available, we will be finding property, hiring staff and taking applications. We believe it is very close to happening.

We will accept only those who are totally committed to laying down their lives for Jesus. It will cost them everything, but nothing as far as earthly treasures are concerned. The KINGDOM SENDING CENTER will train disciples to minister with the presence and glory of God, using spiritual gifts and fruit and the power of compassion and agape love. They will learn to passionately worship, pray, evangelize, prophesy, heal the sick, raise the dead and cast out the enemy.

Meanwhile we continue to teach and to prophesy at home groups, churches, conferences and the harvest fields of the earth. We also minister healing and deliverance to body, soul and spirit as God allows. We struggle with many life issues, like everyone else, and constantly need your prayers. If God speaks something to you concerning us, please let us know what you are hearing. In a small way, we face similar front-line attacks as many of our favorite international ministries are facing today. Please pray for all those who walk by faith and depend on God for wisdom and provision.

COMING MEETINGS

Tonight (Monday, April 20), we meet in a private home group in Illinois.

Friday through Sunday, we will be at the Wooded Hills Bible Church in Colgate, Wisconsin, not far from Milwaukee. We'll be doing a weekend conference. Last time we were there, we had some amazing miracles and were so blessed by the precious folk.

Friday, Saturday, May 1, 2, we minister in a Korean Church in Mount Prospect, IL.

May 6-9 we hope to attend a conference in Cincinnati with Bob Jones, Bobby Conner and Larry Randolph.

May 15, we speak at the Watering Hole in Lombard, Illinois. May 16 is a private home meeting.

June 3-6 we will be in Dallas speaking at an Arts and Media conference at Christ For the Nations.

PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO PRAY

We always need your prayers, but especially now. We not only have present situations but we have to make decisions for future trips. We are scheduled for both Mozambique and South Korea in July and August and need confirmation on that.

Be strong in the Lord and the power of His might! He is big enough for all your needs and ours.

Be blessed with His goodness!

Ben, Brenda, family and team

TURBULENT TIMES - OPPORTUNITIES FOR GOD AND HIS PEOPLE
Ben Peters
Apr 13, 2009


www.ohmint.org

Greetings Saints,

EASTER WEEKEND REPORT

It was a good weekend. Brenda and Jessie Seiler had a wonderful meeting in Janesville, Wisconsin on Friday evening, while I was speaking at a men's retreat for a home church group farther northwest in La Valle, Wisconsin. Then I joined their house church meeting on Sunday morning in Baraboo, Wisconsin. We shared many nuggets of revelatory truth God has been teaching us and we challenged one another to go to a higher place with God and to a higher place on the mountain of society that God has given us to possess. I returned home Sunday afternoon and joined a few of our team members for an Easter gathering to send off Kenny Ferguson, one of our youth, to Iraq with the Marines. We had communion and prayed and prophesied over him.

TURBULENT TIMES

In the last letter I shared an excerpt from Chuck Pierce's word from The Elijah List. If you are not a subscriber, you might want to become one at www.theelijahlist.com. They can keep you up-to-date on prophetic news. There was much more to Chuck's word, but too much to put into one newsletter.

Today I feel like I am supposed to take the risk and give you all a link to an article that needs to be read by everyone who loves freedom in America, Canada and every nation. I challenge you to take a few minutes and go to the following link. It will give you the perspective of someone who knows the value of freedom. When you have read it, I would appreciate your comments on it. Here's the link:

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=94377

Turbulent times are God-opportuniy times. We believe God will use the crisis to bring positive transformation. Corruption is being exposed every day - look at what happened to Senator Stevens in Alaska - and it will continue for some time until many corrupt politicians have been removed and America will desire character in office more than charisma and change.

PRAYER REQUESTS

I don't want to mention names now, but please pray for some families who have desperate financial needs at this time. We believe God will do some amazing miracles. We have two in progress right now and need several more. Lack of work and income are God's opportunites to show His miracle power. Let's pray for each other that none of these crises will be wasted. Politicians are taking advantage of the crisis and so should we for the sake of the Kingdom of God.

We love you all,

Ben, Brenda, Family and Team

April 10 Update

Ben Peters

Apr 10, 2009

www.ohmint.org

Greetings Saints,

We so appreciate all your prayers and support of all kinds. Without God's miracles on a daily basis, we would be nothing but burnt toast.

Tonight Brenda and Jessie will be ministering in Janesville, Wisconsin. I will be farther north-west in Wisconsin for a week-end men's retreat for a house-church group. We value all your prayers for these divine appointments.

Next weekend we are invited to a wedding in Michigan and the following weekend, we speak at a prophetic conference near Milwaukee. The first and second of May we will be doing revival services in a Korean church in Mount Prospect, IL. I'll try to get our calendar updated for these events.

Chuck Pierce had a long prophetic word over the Elijah List this morning. Here is a short excerpt:

"Be ready for the change that is about to happen in your life. Be ready! Sanctify and ready yourself, for this is a day that I will call you quickly and change your circumstance quickly and cause you to rise up. From the direction you were taking, you will shift immediately. Be ready, for changes are coming—suddenly. I AM singing 'Suddenly! Suddenly!' Sing with Me and ready yourself to move quickly.

"Be ready for the call. Keep your lamp ready. Keep the oil filled within you. Make ready. Be ready. Move forward with Me when I call, for the call is 'on the way' to you. Many of you have grown weary in the delay, but be ready, for this day of change is upon you. Do not grow weary in doing what is right. Keep your lamps trimmed. My hour of visitation is near you. Be ready and don't go to sleep. Be ready to move.

There was a whole lot more and it is very encouraging. If I didn't have faith that God has an amazing plan to restore America, I would be very depressed with the events of our day.

In just over two months we have seen the greatest give-away of our Christian heritage and our constitutional freedoms that we have ever seen. We have people in places of great responsibility who are anti-Christian and anti-American, ready to give up more of our sovereignty to the ungodly United Nations.

I personally still believe that Barak Obama will be exposed as one who was not a natural born citizen. I have read and heard a lot of information and am more convinced than ever. No Hawaii hospital will claim him and he has spent a lot of money to keep his real birth certificate hidden. Many of his friends and associations, cabinet members and nominees are radicals and socialists, abortionists and gay-activists. He is bringing change as fast as he can while he has so much political capital. He is paying back those who supported him and seizing incredible power. He has threatened banks to accept bailout money or they would be audited and destroyed by extra government interference. His administration is telling corporations and banks, etc., how to run their businesses. They are burying our kids and grandkids under an incredible mountain of debt. We might see a temporary boom from all the money, but we will pay for it big time in the years ahead.

People are saying they don't agree with his policies, but they still like "him". And they would vote for him again. People are under the influence of a cultish personality like Jim Jones and we are committing collective suicide. America, wake up, before it's too late.

I also personally believe, as I said above, that God has an amazing plan, like He did for Esther. Read Esther 8:3-8. It's time to write our own decrees and reverse what Haman has decreed. I believe there will be a counter revolution and Christians will be given a powerful anointing to move into high places on all the mountains of society. Revival and reformation are not far off. I'm so glad we are not left with gloom and doom, but we know that we win in the end.

That's all for now. Thanks for reading and for praying.

Many blessings to you all,

Ben, Brenda, Family and Team

GOD OF SURPRISES
Ben Peters
Mar 29, 2009


www.ohmint.org

Greetings Dear Friends,

Yes, our God is always full of surprises. Here's a couple of them.

BRENDA'S DAD

Brenda will be coming home tomorrow after spending a few days with her dad and many other family members. Told by the doctors that he was dying, we were preparing for a funeral. So many of you prayed for him and the family and God chose to bring him back. He's doing much better again. We know he could go at any time, but check out what God did for Brenda.

Brenda's last visit with him was Friday morning. He doesn't always recognize his family but this time he looked her in the eye and whispered, "I love you!" Then, while she was there, he began to look up, watching something and began to say with an excited expression, "OH, OH!" He kept looking up and repeating it over and over. Brenda's mom told her that he was doing it again after she left. We believe he is seeing things in the heavenlies. It is another wonderful confirmation for Brenda, that he is going to be with Jesus.

DARREN AND KRISTA'S HOUSE

Many of you have been praying for the couple on our team who build luxury homes and had one on the market for over two years. This represented over two years of labor, during which they had no other income. For 700 days they had no offers. Then suddenly, two parties wanted it for a bargain (a real loss for Darren and Krista), but another party who had looked at it months before came back and said they wanted it and were willing to pay a fair price to give them some income for their efforts. The bank still has to agree to creative financing, but we are believing God is all over this situation, even though their patience has been severely tested. Please join us in praying for favor for their customers.

SPECIAL EVENTS

1. HEAVEN IS REAL

Don't forget our special event this Friday in Elgin, Illinois. We will be hosting a wonderful couple, Ron and Glenda Pettey, who have been on It's Supernatural and have a book called, HEAVEN IS REAL. Meet with us Friday, April 3, at 7 pm. The location is 270 E. Chicago St, Elgin, IL, at the Eagles Nest/Family Life Church.

2. HOME NET-WORKING FELLOWSHIP

Our Sunday afternoon fellowship will be April 5 at the Ferguson home in Genoa. We have been having wonderful times and expect this to be another special time for all.

That's all for now. I'm headed for the HUB meeting with Bobby Conner at O'Hare Wyndham Hotel.

Please pray for us. We appreciate it so much.

God bless you all,

Ben, Brenda, Family and Team

March 25 Update
Ben Peters
Mar 25, 2009

www.ohmint.org

Dear Friends,

BRENDA'S DAD

Your prayers are being heard by God. Brenda's dad seems to be defying the doctor's predictions again. He is on oxygen and has had great trouble breathing, like someone who is dying, but yesterday and today he ate solid food, which he hadn't done for some time. In addition he is more at peace after Brenda spent one night with him and left worship music playing all night in his room the second night. The change is quite remarkable to Brenda.

Thank-you all for your prayers and love. So many have written that they are praying on email or Facebook. Please accept our appreciation. Also please continue to pray. If her dad continues to recover, Brenda will return home after the weekend.

COMING EVENTS

1. REST-FEST CONFERENCE BY HUB - FUNDRAISER FOR HEIDI AND ROLLAND BAKER AND IRIS MINISTRIES

This starts tomorrow - Thursday night at 7:30 pm at O'Hare Airport Windham Hotel.

2. HEAVEN IS REAL - SPECIAL ONE NIGHT SESSION WITH RON AND GLENDA PETTEY

This will be held at 7 pm in Elgin, next Friday, April 3, 2009, at Family Life Center - Eagles Nest at 310 E. Chicago St, Elgin, Illinois. You don't want to miss this event. This couple ministered powerfully to Brenda and me after sharing their amazing testimony. Com and hear a very humble man's recollections of his time in Heaven.

If you can't make it on Friday night, they will also minister at 11:30 a.m. at 5C's Church in Rockford, Illinois, on Sunday morning.

Please pray for Brenda and I and our team. We are in need of your prayers every day. The ministry is in transition with great and exciting things coming in the days ahead. We face many challenges going to the next level and many of us have felt the attack of the enemy and have been stretched in many ways. God will get all the glory as He answers your prayers because we know that we cannot accomplish anything by our own strength. Our ministry totally depends on the supernatural power of God for everything we do.

ONE MORE THING

I want to extend my new book offer to anyone who wants a copy. If you buy Kings and Kingdoms and any other book of mine or Brenda's on our website, I'll give you a second Kings and Kingdoms free with shipping included. I am burdened to get this message out to as many Christians and leaders as possible. I want to give the second book free so that you can give it away to someone you want to bless. This book is revolutionary and I believe it will change your future for the glory of God.

God bless you all and thanks for all your support.

Ben, Brenda, Family and Team
