Holy Given: Armavir International School of MissionsArmavir, RussiaWeek 1: 8 - 14 June, 2009The first week of Holy Given Armavir in southwestern Russia welcomed students from Russia, Belarus, Kyrgystan and the Netherlands. The first morning one of the students, from a traditional church, was healed of chronic shoulder and back pain during the worship. In the afternoon he was baptised in the Holy Spirit and started speaking in tongues. A few days later during the outreach he took off his shirt and put it on the back of a homeless man and then came back home on the bus shirtless.

If Holy Given Leyte started with a bang, it ended with an explosion. Holy Spirit came powerfully each day and left us in awe and wonder…for the sixth week in a row. It has truly been a special season here in Dulag, Leyte, Philippines.
Prior to Holy Given School the Lord told me about my calling. He said He had called me to be a prophet to the nations like Jeremiah. During Holy Given the Lord confirmed this to me through Mama Lesley-Ann. I have received many prophecies from God.

Monday
The students prayed for our guest speakers Weymond and Gill, and we had a time of sharing the visions and prophetic words God gave to the class. It led to an extended ministry time to activate those promises and anoint everyone with oil.
Pinky Amor PenaflorI used to hear in mission conferences how much people would want to give up their lives for Jesus. A challenge to be willing to go anywhere resounds.

Sylvester M. ErincoIt was Day 3, Wednesday March 18 2009, when I first experienced the work of the Holy Spirit, it was a baptism of fire, when I felt heat coming from around and it began to touch the back of my neck.
