Oh, Wow, It's Been a Longgggg Time!

I can't believe it's been this long since my last post. For all of you still with me, I will post some of the great news from our recent trip to the Middle East. Blessings on all who have stuck with me and my lack of posts!

Here was my first message to our supporters for this specific trip - posted one week before leaving.

So your first message will come a week before we begin. Thanks for all your support and your prayers! They have all been much needed. It is amazing how God is working through all of you. We originally hoped to be there as a team to pray with anyone needing it. It has now evolved into something rather remarkable.

For 1+ years, I have been working with many in Iran - counseling, healing prayer, deliverance. Some have begun taking what they've been learning and receiving personally and using this iwth others. I get almost weekly reports about how churches and leaders are receving this prayer and being set free. But this trip is the fulfillment of one of the dreams God put on my heart.

With your help, we have raised enough money to bring 14 total people to our special training on healing prayer! When this began a few months ago, I was praying for 5 or 6. This is an awesome example of "God can do abundantly more than we can ask or imagine." Three whole days of intense training with these wonderful people!

Please pray for:
* Their own personal healing and freedom
* Identification of gifts that will help them to know how to apply this teaching in their country
* No rivalry - e.g., what happens if one of the newest leaders is the best at this prayer method? Pray that the leaders of leaders will be open to receiving help from their own followers.
* A room where we can meet without interruption - that it be spiritually cleansed and free from all interference
* My training - there are so many people and I have so much more time than I expected - how do I adapt to that? What needs to be done now vs. online later?
* For our team - they are varied in their own understanding and experience in healing prayer. Pray that God brings to their minds and hearts everything they need for the person or group they are meeting with.

Ok, enough for now. Blessings to you all! I look forward to reporting the exciting miracles I know we will see!!! Thanks again!!!
