The rodeo is in town !! Kim and I took ourselves along on Thursday evening for a new experience, and learned a new vocabulary - mutton busting, steer wresting, twin roping are all familiar to us now, and we can Yee Ha with the rest (not much of that really). It was good fun. Sorry for the quality of the picture but hopefully it gives you some idea. We sat next to a guy who had previously lived in Alaska and he told us they had a 600 mile round trip to buy their groceries whilst there !!

Friday morning we had the privilege of time with Bill Johnson; he is such a lovely man, full of humility, grace and generosity. We felt truly blessed. Then we both spent time with God which was great. In the afternoon, once again privileged, we were able to join in the last day of the school of Supernatural Ministry; excellent worship and then witnessing Bill and Kris anoint and commission every student (about 940) with such love and honour.

In the evening I took myself off to the pre-meeting prayer meeting (if you have been there you will know, if not get there sometime!); there were young and old encountering God together. I was especially drawn to a young boy of about 6 years who was simply enjoying God. Then we went into the meeting and after more worship Bob Jones spoke - he is like a grandfather and spoke with such tenderness and kindness, as he relayed what God had been speaking about with him. We truly appreciated him and he had some fantastic spiritual insights, especially the dangers of allowing offence to grow in you and the bad fruit that it will produce. I pray for God to help us stay away from holding any offence against others - forgiveness and love are so powerful.

This morning we went to the Healing Rooms and prayed for loads of people (200+); just one story for you - I prayed for a man from Holy Trinity Brompton, London and God met with him powerfully. His daughter was healed to a large degree of hearing difficulty and when I chatted with her I discovered that she is spending a year in St Petersberg, Russia and goes to a church led by friends of ours there, so I prayed for blessing to be carried back there.

It is warming up again here, we will look forward to returning to air conditioning next weekend.

One last thought - when I say I am sitting in Hebrews you need to understand that the coffee shop at the church is called HeBrews, just in case you were confused!
