Just talked with the pastor of the Iranian church. He told me they recently had their very first in-country conference for Christian leaders. This was a great risk - and a great success! What made it especially exciting for me is that one of the two main topics of the event was Healing Prayer (what I've been teaching them for the past year).
Two of my best students led the teaching and healing times and many were set free. I've yet to get the full scoop on this, and I'll write more when I do. But I'm just awed and thankful that the lessons God has taught me over the years are now blessing and empowering these special brothers and sisters. Please keep praying with me for them!

FUEL FOR YOUR PRAYERS
- Pray as I begin to pull together my first self-published book - "Healing Prayers." Pray for those that God will bring alongside of me to complete this first of several books to come. I need help with formatting, designing and editing.
- Praise! I finished teaching my first class in healing prayer. 10 people joined me for 4 weeks of learning, praying and healing. There were some amazing stories of the Holy Spirit at work. Those in the class actually didn't want it to end. So we'll be getting together again in late Feb. to talk about where we go from here. This is a beginning and a model for future classes that I hope to lead. Pray for ongoing wisdom and opportunities.
- Monday mornings - 8:30 - 10:30 a.m. - a Skype School for 20-30 Iranian house church leaders. We are currently learning about "Advanced Spiritual Warfare - dealing with the demonic." Their hunger is deep and they take whatever is taught and apply it immediately. They often use these classes as the basis for their own teaching as they travel all over Iran.
- I often am asked to work with local Christian leaders as well. Often these are people who have been to numerous counselors and physicians and yet have no release. Many times I am dealing with powerful spiritual forces - but God is always faithful and FAR more powerful! Pray for protection, discernment and the leading and power of the Holy Spirit.
- Individual counseling appointments online with house church leaders in Iran - it is a unique challenge to pray with people online - especially when it has to go through a translator and can only be done by typing. But God keeps showing up in power and working miracles.
- We need donations! We have used up much of the special gifts we received at the beginning of our journey. Now we need either, 1/ More special gifts and/or, 2/ Pledges for ongoing donations. Please pray for us and for those God will move to share their abundance. We have so much more to do in Iran and elsewhere.
