Meetings in Southern California, USA (13 September 2009)

Lesley asked us to write to you and tell you what we saw the Lord do while she was here in California ministering.  We drove to a meeting north of Los Angeles in a city called Valencia. The leaders of this fellowship were all volunteers, no paid staff. A wonderful new wine skin. The people gathering were simple and hungry. Lesley used a rock and a hammer and anointing oil to teach on the breaking of the "religious spirit'. Over and over she would go back to the rock and break it up with the hammer.

Meetings in Paris (18 - 20 September, 2009)

We are very honoured to be invited to join Belleville Church family retreat (18-20 September). The retreat coincided with the Jewish New Year. It is also the start of the academic year in France. Throughout the conference God was saying to the church this is a new season, a new beginning – a new day and a new way, a new land and a new stand. He was bringing the church as a community into a new place. There is a strong sense that what God is doing in France is far bigger than ourselves (themselves).

Meetings at Harvest International Church, Somerset, New Jersey, USA
September 4 - 6, 2009

September 4, Friday

Lesley-Anne and I arrived in Somerset NJ, which is approximately an hour south of New York City, for a series of 3 meetings at Harvest International Church on the Friday before Labor Day at 5:15 pm. We thought that being the Friday before a Holiday weekend we would be sitting in traffic so Lesley-Anne prayed that God would part the cars as He did the Red Sea and HE DID! We sailed there with no traffic!

Week 5: 6 July - 12 July, 2009

The students were impacted by a visit and testimony from the first believer in an unreached people group in the Northern Caucasus. The young woman imparted the heart of God and the desire to reach not only her own people group but many others as well. She also gave really clear teaching on how to hear God’s voice, which lead to people being set free from the lies of the enemy they had been listening to...

Week 2: 15 - 21 June, 2009

Week 2 at Holy Given Armavir was highlighted by teaching on 24/7 worship and prayer with the students participating for the weekend in a worship outreach. It was the first time many students had prayed during the night and the testimonies of how easy and how much they enjoyed it motivated them to worship and pray even more.
