Here is a great story that I heard today...
I was at church this morning and one of the ladies from church came up to me with a big smile on her face. She asked me if I remembered praying for her a month or so ago about her knee. I did remember praying for her during ministry time one Sunday. She had fluid that had built up in her knee and a couple of things wrong with her tendons and so forth. She was in a lot of pain and couldn't wear any sort of heels on her feet. She was due to have surgery this Thursday and went in for her final scans this past week. She received a call from her surgeon saying that whatever was wrong before was now gone and surgery was no longer needed. She is completely healed! No more pain what so ever. Isn't our God so amazing!!??!!

Update!!!!
It has been such a long time since I updated everyone! Where do I even begin?
I moved house about a month ago which was a huge answer to prayer. After looking at house after house of disappointment I was chatting with a friend from church and he said he had some friends who were looking to sell their place. He contacted them and they have let Becky and I rent the house for the next 6 months. The house is fully furnished and is incredible. I am hoping that when the 6 months are up they will let us renew the contract, but that is a ways off. So Becky and I have been loving this new house and just had our Internet hooked up so now we have Internet access again, which is why I haven't been able to update y'all on anything in so long.
My sister came over with a friend in March and helped me to celebrate my birthday which was amazing! We spent St. Paddy's in Dublin and then came back to Portstewart to hang out visit the sites. It was absolutely brilliant to have her over and my only complaint is that the week went by all too fast.
I launched the 2010 Mission Teams a couple of weeks ago to the church and I am so excited about the 12 teams we are sending. There will be 3 local teams to serve the community here and then the other 9 teams will be going to Romania, Lithuania, 2 to Morocco, Thailand, India, Haiti, England & Ireland. There are four new teams this year which are a Morocco Prayer & Worship Team; Men's Building Team to Haiti, Thailand; and a Women's Team to India.
I will be leading the team to India and our goal is to bring a voice to the voiceless Dalit women and children. We will be showing God's love through education and training and the profound ministry of touch. Since the Dalit's are considered untouchable, the act of a hug or simple touch from a white person is life changing and self worth is slowly introduced into their lives. We will help them find their true identity in their Father with a couple seminars and serving projects.
I have also been busy organizing an Evangelism & Outreach Conference which kicks off this month. Jay Pathuck from Mile High Vineyard in Arvada, Colorado will bring a team of 16 with him to help us serve the community of Coleraine. They will help us to move into our NEW CHURCH OFFICES... we received the keys last week... and also help to lead the 15 different outreaches I have planned to demonstrate God's love to the town through many various ways. We are hoping that around 200 people will attend and are praying that they will take what they learn to impact their own surrounding communities. I am so excited to see how God will use us this upcoming weekend.
God is continuing to show up in my life in mighty ways and I am always blown away at His love for me and all that He provides me with. I have some amazing stories that I will share with you in a wee while once I get them all typed out.
In the mean time I just want to THANK YOU for all your prayers, support and encouragement. I love hearing from you and please let me know what God is doing in your own lives.
Here are some prayer requests that you can be praying for:
I still need the funds to insure my car. Because my previous experience of driving does not count here in the UK my insurance rates are very high as they see me as a 'new' driver. It is going to be £118 per month to insure the car and I need all the help I can get with this.
Please be praying for the mission teams that I am sending out and that they will have an amazing impact on the places and people they come in contact with. Also pray for India and the ongoing sex slavery and temple prostitution that young girls are sold into. This was never intended for any girl of any age and I believe that with God's power we can end it.
