Catching Up – England/Ireland October 2010
We have just returned from England/Ireland after 22 days of ministry. It was truly one of our best trips and the reception was awesome. We have again been with the River City Church of London/Derry or Derry Northern Ireland and ministered on the kingdom. Darlene lead the different praise teams which alternated each night, and the music was awesome. We taught on the Kingdom of God and had different segments of teaching, and the prophetic was strong. We saw hearts change, and heard the testimonies of how the Son Rise International School on the web was changing lives. They are growing deeply into the teaching of “The Dynamic of Complete Faith” by John L. Parault. How could we state all that happened for it was an impartation of the Holy Spirit in the meetings, and we so love the family at River City; along with Pastor Phelim Doherty and his family. We feel like they are our family and we always look forward to our visit with them; this being the 5th year of ministering to them. On the last night the presence of God and love permeated the place; everyone held hands as the unity of the Spirit was among all. We will be returning next year, being invited to an Irish Wedding; and again another seminar. Can’t wait.
Our time with the speaker of the Northern Ireland Assembly, Mr. William Hay, was very profitable and we will write of that later.
Our English side of the trip was very positive with an input into our Son Rise home groups in both Southport and Ashford/Kent with Dave Walter and Joe Kavanaugh as leaders. At Skipton we were with the “Harvest” Church with our Indian Pastors Joshua and Reba Samuels. We have seen great growth in the past 3 years of coming to them. Bro. John blessed Helen and Tom that they might have children greatly used of the Lord, only to find out the next day she was actually pregnant. In London we had home meetings with our friend Tessa, and had an opportunity to minister to a brother who had a rough past. The Lord set him free 12 years ago in prison and he is dynamite in the work of the kingdom. We were with our beautiful friend Crissy who has suffered for a few years with Parkinson disease and in much pain. She said the Lord visited her every day for 3 months. Her testimony was awesome, along with the change in her countenance. All this continually shows us that the Lord is in control of everything. One thing Jesus told Crissy when she inquired about her healing; “This is a small thing for there are greater things than healing.” And then she said He began to laugh, and she laughed with Him. This is a song of great joy, when we can see as He sees’ and have the confidence in Him.
There are so many more testimonies to share that happened on this trip, but we thank the Lord for all that He did. Be blessed |
