Salvations,healings and freedom!

What an incredible time of ministry in Ukraine these last 2 weeks. The first meeting I had was in Khust and was a ladies meeting - complete with drama, special music, and refreshments. About 70 ladies came for the conference named "She is Free". God gave me a wonderful message about giving up an anxious distracted mind (worries) and cultivating a sound mind of peace. (Matt 6.25-34) Almost everyone came forward for prayer. The meeting started at 3 and we finished praying at 8.30 pm! The best part was the 3 ladies that prayed to ask Jesus into their heart. This is one of my favorite churches and I loved the fellowship with Pastor Vitaly, his wife Lena and his 2 sons and sweet daughter. Onto Uzghorod where I met with former missionaries to Moldova who asked me to go there with them in the fall. I am so excited about that new door opening. I also met with good friends and ministry partners Lola and Joseph and Tanya. I spent lots of time fellowshiping with Anya and Richard and Oksana and Volodya our Hope and Life ministry team. We also had a very productive Hope & Life meeting with Pastor Paul Berube. A very special ministry time was spent with the city Gypsy church with Pastor Victor and his people and I also did a ladies meeting for Pastor Vadim with about 35 ladies attending. Another highlight was spending a special evening of prayer with ladies from various ministries. The Lord has opened a door for Richard & Anya to meet weekly with a technical school and speak about current topics and concerns and share moral values. The guest speaker for last week's event was Miss Ukraine 2007. Lika is a sincere Christian with a powerful testimony of purity. The school has mostly young men as students and for this assembly they arrived early. Rounding out the trip was Shabbat evening with my precious friends at "God's Pearl" . I spoke from Psa 16.11 "You will show me the path of life; In your presence is fullness of joy, At your right hand are pleasures forevermore." And joy broke out!! The trip was then blessed with the arrival of a team of 25 from Nashua, NH with Pastor Paul Berube. We had a very special day of prayer and then 2 services in Mukachevo on Sunday. Got to see many friends there! All in all a most wonderful time of ministry!

February 4,5 Alpha Holy Spirit Retreat Hollókö, Hungary

Image
Last Friday I traveled to Hollókö, Hungary to meet with my Hungarian friend. Nora. Nora is leading her second Alpha Course in her village. From there we traveled to another village for an overnight retreat.  10 ladies and some children attended. The Holy Spirit was so faithful to demonstrate Himself in our midst giving encouraging words as we prayed together,  refilling some and baptizing some for the first time.  It was a very precious time. If God lays it on your heart please be praying for these ladies. The 10 ladies were from 6 different villages in Nograd county (and me,too). In none of the villages are living churches but most of these ladies are "keys" to living prayer groups. Nora has been working in one of the villages and is now in the process of setting up a small retreat center. After our weekend she took me there to pray. She and her husband were able to acquire a small "prayer" house, which was once a Baptist prayer house which is next to a home they...

We had a really good night last night - kind of...

Image
My brother Jack and his wife Debby just arrived back from Florida where Jack was trying to hide out from having to face a "big" birthday. So my sister Kathi and I decorated his house to welcome him home - and left him a card that said "You can run, but you can't hide! :-). Some of you know Jack by his more common name "No rules for kids, Uncle Jack". Well, mom really enjoyed visiting with Jack and Debby and as a result she stayed up until 10.30. Most nights she can only sleep for about 5 hours tops and even then gets up a number of times. That means I get up with her :-). Night before last that was at 1.30, 4, 6 and 7!! So when this morning I realised I had been able to sleep through the night I was more concerned than relieved. I checked my monitor and yes it was working and finally turned on the light to check and see if mom was ...alive. Do you remember the first night your baby slept all the way through to morning? You awake with a start and run in...

Chocolate chip cookies

Image
My mom who was a very good cook and baker, was famous for her chocolate chip cookies. Since she can no longer make them I took it upon myself to "try" to perfect the recipe. This is my latest attempt. (Last weeks were enjoyable but not in the running) Two brothers independently rated them at 8.5 out of 10 - 10 of course would be just like moms. This score could even climb to 9 depending on how they taste frozen. Mom often baked at night and would leave "some" out on a plate and the rest hidden in the freezer so they would last longer. Of course we figured that out pretty quickly and now prefer them frozen. You may like yours golden and crispy but there is a secret ingredient in these and a way to bake them that makes them soft and oh so yummy!!
