Blessings to you all,
I just wanted to let you know, for those who don't already, that Doc and I have made it back to the U.S. a couple of days ago safe and sound. Thank you for your prayers and words of encouragement. They mean so much! I trust you had a great thanksgiving. Unfortunately I and Doc were too tired to celebrate with eating turkey and all the trimmings. We celebrated by sleeping and getting back on track to the 6 hour time change. Well usually the turkey would knock me out anyways, so I celebrated half the holiday. haha. Anyways, just wanted to update you all and let you know we made it safe and with more of a hunger to see the Lord move among souls. By the way, the last service we had in Germany was incredible. Dr. Wilson and Pastor Kiefer were on schedule to do prophetic ministry (presbytery) and it wound up the Holy Spirit had other plans. After Pastor Kiefer ministered on being in the presence of God, it wound up that many people came rushing to the alter after the sermon to receive the infilling of the Holy Ghost. And so as hands were laid upon many of the people, they began speaking in other tongues and just weeping ad worshiping the Lord. Then they worship team just began to play praise music and everyone at the altar (more than 100 people) just dancing and rejoicing before the Lord. This is big to see in Germany, because you don't see much of an exuberant expression in praise in many churches there. I am believing what took place in Hamburg, Germany (where the service was) will begin a great spread of deliverance among the believers in Germany to continue to move forward in the Lord and not bound by past history and bring deliverance to many lost souls. We serve and awesome God!
Also I am not sure if I mentioned this in any previous email updates but I ministered in Holland to a youth group about a week ago. I was so deeply impacted by the expectation the youth had and the zeal they obtained. What sweet worship and praise as two out of the 30-40 youth played the guitar and all sang with all their heart unto Jesus, thanking Him for deliverance He brought in their lives and saving them from a life of sin. I was so deeply impacted and taken by the presence of the Lord.
I preached on "The Planting of The Word", to help kick start their series on Bible Basics. Many who came, the night I preached, have just come to the Lord. As I shared my testimony in the middle of my message, tears began to shed down the cheeks of many, if not all, the youth group. Many came to me at the end of the meeting and shared with me their testimonies of how the Lord called them out from a similar past as mine. Also after I ministered, we had a time of worship and the Lord began to minister prophetically to a couple people individually and also the whole group. All confirming what the Lord has been doing in their lives. I was so much more impacted by the zeal in that group and the spirit they carried.
In June I will be with this youth group's church and I am scheduled to be doing presbytery alongside with Dr. Wilson.
So that is some of the last updates and I will continue to keep you posted in my next overseas travels in mid March through the end of July. God bless and continue to be the blessing that you are.
