This is the first report back from the new new ministry team that I have formed within YWAM.  Our first trip together was to Chemnitz, earlier in April.  Enjoy!

I have finally completed the upgrade of this site to WordPress release 2.7 RC1.  It is technically still a beta so there might be problems, but it is so close to being finished I thought that I would jump straight to it.

I am in the process of completely redesigned the site, in particular to enable the easy downloading of teaching mp3s… so watch out for the change!  I will more than likely have to do it gradually due to time pressures.

For all of you that were at the freed for Life session on Tuesday 11th at the King’s Lodge, you can listen to the teaching on repentance again by clicking here

It’s back to ministry from the holidays and a full first week…

Over the last few days I have had the privilage leading the Derby YWAM teams staff days.  It’s a new beginning for them with new leaders and new staff.  We had three days of often deep encounter with God and hearing from Him.  The last day was a particularly memorable intercession time where Read More »

I have just returned from Holiday, and as I said that I would keep you informed with anything that I learned about Todd, here is the most helpful article that I have read.  It is by Rick Joyner who is meeting almost daily with Todd Bentley to counsel him through this time.  I will quote directly from Rick here… Read More »

I was deeply saddened to hear, and am equally saddened in telling you that Todd and Shonnah Bentley have reached a point of having to separate.

With deep sadness and in prayer for them both I have taken a few minutes out of my holiday to write this. I cannot write much now save to say I feel deeply for them and appreciate the wise and necessary move that Todd has taken in stepping down from public ministry. Please pray with me for the Holy Spirit to heal and restore their marriage and love for one another deeply.

Many of you will know that I can understand some of what they are going through. they need prayer and not criticism. I hate the way the enemy will use this as more stumbling block material for what is clearly God’s Spirit bringing healing and salvation to many worlwide. This move was championed by Todd but it is God doing his works of love and He has not changed. Let us keep pushing into God more and not grow weary. let’s push into God for the working of all things together for our good.

It seems that it has not worked out for FreshFire ministries to book the NEC.  Here is some information from the RevivalFires website in Dudley…

We have just learned that it hasn’t been possible to arrange Todd Bentley’s planned visit to the NEC on September 20th – 23rd as the venue became unavailable. Unfortunately with events of this scale there can be late changes to arrangements and we are awaiting news from the event organisers on when Todd will be visiting, and where the event will be held. Our apologies to anyone who has made any arrangements on the basis of the original information and we will pass on confirmed information as soon as it is available.

I will post any updates to Todd visiting the UK here as I get them.

Psalm 106:7…

Our fathers, when they were in Egypt, did not consider your wondrous works; they did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love, but rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.

Whilst in God’s presence recently I was pondering how it was the Israelites found it so difficult to trust God to enter the promised land. I was quizing the Lord how that could be so after all they had seen God do. He’d performed wonders infront of them in Egypt, He’d miraculously parted the red sea in front of their very eyes, yet they did not trust Him to help them enter. Throughout their history they were quick to forget. Read More »

Today I prayed with one of the YWAM staff who is a mom with a child and one on the way.  She’s been having pains in here hips, possibly something to do with her pregnancy.  It’s becoming normal to pray for people now.  We spent a brief time inviting god’s glorious presence and then prayed for healing.
