We just want to thank all who have answered us through e-mail, kept in touch, and prayed for us and blessed us in every way. We are thankful for the ministry in Honduras, England, Northern Ireland, Africa and the US churches we have been a part of. We are truly thankful for this net-working with each and every one of you. Some of you we have known many years, so again, thank you for being who you are in Jesus, co-laboring with us in the kingdom of God; for the harvest time is here.

We had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends, and then went on a ministry trip to Memphis, Tennessee, for 4 days over the New Years weekend. We were with the Iglesia Ministerios De Reconciliacion Internacional with Pastor Adolfo Castellanos. This was their Jubilee Celebration and we were honored to be a part of it. So when the clocked struck 12 midnight on New Years Eve, we were praising the Lord and hugging one another for the great things the Lord is doing. One young couple, Marcus and Ana Rodriguez knew us years ago in Valle Bonito, Honduras. Marcus was in our meetings in Valley Bonito in those days and Ana was only 8 years old when she remembers meeting us. Now they are married and have young sons, who in turn have met us. Darlene was wonderful singing the songs she wrote in Spanish; greatly received. The meetings were blessed and we have been asked to return – we now have a new family added to us, from Memphis, Tennessee. Praise God!

Prophecy 2012 “The winds of change are in the air – so strong will they blow, they will bring great changes to all. Some will say these winds are of the enemy when they themselves are sifted and at a loss. Some will know these winds are sent by God, and will profit by these changes through faith and grace; for they will increase in the most valuable gift, which is having the mind of Christ and partaking of the nature of God being formed in them. Some will stay in the desert, and that will be their lot, because of their choices; while others will come forth out of the desert, full of glory and strength, ready to overcome the enemy and speak words of creativity; words of the kingdom. Some will flounder and try to gain from the opportunity that once was presented to them, but find it is too late. While others will know what season of time they are in, and take giant steps forward in the kingdom. Whosoever have ears, let them hear what the Spirit is saying.” End

(Matt. 25) Ten virgins – who all looked alike on the outside (as in the church) but 5 had oil (divine nature) and the other 5 had no oil - only their own self-life within. When the bridegroom called, they all arose, but the 5 with His nature went forward in confidence. They all had the capacity to hold the divine nature (lamps) but the 5 foolish had not God’s nature developed inside. These were not prepared and had to go back to where they might receive teachings and revelation the others received on their kingdom journey; but to the foolish, no avail. It was too late, because the 5 wise already entered into the marriage and the door was shut. When the foolish came up to the door and knocked, the Lord said, ‘Go away I don’t know you’. Why? Because they did not have His nature formed in them. They made wrong choices along the way. They were not like the Lord in character.

Christ in you the hope of glory is the message of the kingdom. This is the message that will change the heart, mind and deliver the soul. The change comes through teaching the uncompromising Word; grace; faith; the blood; the Holy Spirit; overcoming; forgiveness and the greatest –how to genuinely LOVE. As for the 10 virgins, which ones do you identify with? So many in these days play church, but the most valuable treasure is the pearl inside which is to expand into a mighty wall or fortress or an oak tree. This is through faith and obedience and cannot be moved because it is the Holy Spirit who has taken over the vessel, and speaks and flows, and lives through them. Great fellowship with the Lord- great faith; great grace; great love. Amen
