We're back - actually we haven't been away, just a little slack with the blog. Apologies. But where are those comments - we love to be encouraged by your comments on the blog. Keep them coming (or start them coming!).
We heard some good stuff in the staff meeting today, probably the pick of the bunch was about some guys who went to Disneyland in Los Angeles and ended up having a 4 and 1/2 hour healing session with up to 120 healings and 50 people responding to Jesus. We will give you the full version on return (July 22nd School of Supernatural Ministry at NKCC should be good, also July 19th at NKCC - get your seat belts ready!)
Time is flying by and we can hardly believe that we will back in the UK in 4 weeks and then off to Rendezvous in France. Still many people would think 4 weeks in Bethel was a luxury (not to mention the sun and the swimming pool !) so we are not complaining. Actually we feel that God is starting to prepare us for our return. God has spoken to us in so many amazing ways, it is truly awesome and the future looks very exciting at NKCC, North Kent generally, and reaching into the UK and France.
Even today we had an amazing prophesy given to us by a lady (Lorraine) at the end of the staff meeting - this was about 2 doors opening up in front of us, doors of revelation and grace which merged into one and that would bring us into new territory that has already been given to us but we are still contending for, and that we will influence some of the traditional structures in the UK. When we talked with Lorraine and showed her about the NKCC building project she was amazed by the favour that God is giving us and believed that this was part of what she was seeing. Please keep praying with us for the release of the land at Springhead to us so that we can press forward with this great project.
We met with Paul Manwaring today and discussed a number of things, in particular the development of the NKCC school of supernatural ministry - God has definitely confirmed to us some of the dreams we have for this, and we are very excited about pushing this on.
So much to say ......
On the theme of Treasure Hunts (where we go out with clues given by God to find his treasure i.e. people that he loves and wants to bless - that is everyone, but he directs us to specific people at specific times) - Kim says " I have been on three Treasure Hunts. These are a great way of opening up the possibility of praying for people and letting God’s goodness into their lives. We have had opportunities to pray for health issues, family relationships and diffiiculties and financial needs. I must admit that it takes courage to walk up to people you don’t know and ask to pray for them and I am often dead scared or awkward, but the worst they can say is “no”. The groups I have been in have probably prayed for about 10 people. One lady we prayed for had ongoing back pain. After prayer she said that her pain was much less and then started lifting her legs up. Surprised, she said “I can lift up my legs – that’s a bonus!” I am hoping to go out again on Saturday or next Wednesday."
Great stuff.

Hope you like the picture of the sunset over Whiskeytown Lake.
The testimonies are awe inspiring and the views are amazing!
ReplyDeleteLoving the blog, and your faithfulness in reporting back and looking froward to what you've got to bring back!
Well done - God is good!

Pete and Kim,
ReplyDeleteYour blog has been very encouraging. At the very least it pointed me to the sermon podcasts, which have let God speak directly to me (still trying to understand what he is saying!).
I have been getting a feeling for a while now that big things are going to happen when you two get back. Its going to be exciting and I have been sharing that vision with people that are finding life tough at the moment ('Grace for today, vision for tomorrow' - love this).
Would love the oppotunity to goto Bethel and see whats happening myself. God has already gifted me with getting my passport renewed.
I believe that God has used this blog to move me forward in building the church at NKCC. Encouraging me that my waiting time is nearly over and that I should move into new things using skill He has gifted me.
So be encouraged, be loved and hugged. See you soon
Joe
Salut Pete et Kim,
ReplyDeleteJ'écris en français car il va falloir bientôt vous y remettre... Je visite votre Blog presque tous les jours : interessant et encourageant !!! Je parle aussi de vos expériences dans nos réunions de responsables. Plusieurs membres de l'église voudraient commencer une chambre de guérisons à Marguerittes, et aussi la chasse au trésor. On y réfléchit dans le conseil et j'ai dit que j'attendais RDV et votre rapport pour aller plus loin dans ma reflexion...
A très bientôt,
Joël
