ENGLAND/ IRELAND
October 2009
Upon arriving in England, our team traveled to London/Derry Ireland to the River City Church. We were with Pastor Phelim Doherty and wife and family and his precious flock. We have come to know them all well, since this is now the 4th year of our visits. God again met us and we had a week of glorious meetings, teaching on “Christ in You the Hope of Glory.” We have received word that they are still basking in the messages. One major healing was a woman, who after being prayed for at the beginning of the week, went to the hospital a couple of days later for her operation. When they started to operate, they found out that she was healed and closed her back up. She returned to the church to testify. Also, God greatly delivered two people from evil spirits. Praise the Lord! We also spent time with the Speaker of the House of Parliament of Northern Ireland, William Hay, and it was very advantageous. We will report on this later. Darlene, our daughter, led music along with the church music teams. Dave and Lyn Walter from Southport, England also accompanied us into Ireland. Bro. Dave and Lyn are Son Rise leaders to a group in this northern part of England.
In Skipton, England we ministered in the church of our Indian pastor friends, Joshua and Reba Samuels. Driving down to London, we had two wonderful nights with Tessa Carss and her home groups. We prophesied last year to Tessa’s daughter and another gal, that God was giving them children very soon. They both became pregnant and Tessa’s daughter delivered her baby girl yesterday - Nov. 7th. Everyone is so happy; including us.
In the southern part of England, there was an ordination for Joe Kavanach in Ashford/Kent where he and his wife head up a group in that area under Son Rise Ministries. We also met a couple who, when children, were displaced during the WW II bombings over England. This happened to many children during that time. They were given to other families to raise. What a story!
We are anticipating great moves of the Holy Spirit in the areas that the Lord assigned to us in the UK, and we thank Him for the 18 meetings we had in 22 days of ministry. The Lord gave us strength for this whole eventful trip. Many thanks to all who prayed for us.
