A season of fruit and not just dinnye (watermelon)




Good friend Kata visited for a few days this week. She was amazed to see & hear a car drive by with a recording "Dinnye, Sargadinnye eladó" (watermelon, cantalope for sale) Out we went to select our dinnye from the trunk and back seat and bought a 10 kilo watermelon (over 20 lbs and the smallest he had). Ahhhhh, village life in August - it was fresh picked, sweet and delicious and by evening it was almost all gone!!
That night we were invited to the neighbors where we prayed with the lady of the house who was encouraged to proclaim Jesus as Lord over her life, family and home. Within minutes her husband joined us and poured out his heart and disappointment with God. He had once given his life to God and Kata and I were there at the time but now his heart was turned. He did allow us to pray for him and God showed up! This prodigal turned and sensed once again the Lord's presence and peace. How we rejoiced. The next day this mom came to us bringing her daughter and she too returned to the Lord and got filled with His Holy Spirit!! Talk about a joyous celebration!! The prodigals are back home with the Lord and to stay (their words!) This morning 4 of us prayed together and God met with us and encouraged us to ask for His wisdom for the paths we walk. Please join us in pray for these dear ones to be strong in the Lord. We will continue to meet often to pray.

July 2019 Update One of the high points of summer is always our 8 day long church camp. Amazingly, this was my 5th camp!  Our guests this year were good friends, Pastor Wayne and Sherry Sanders from Chardon, OH and Paul Richards from Melbourne, Australia.  Every camp is special and God never fails to bring us the exact ministry, prophetic words and teachings we need! We love these ministers who partner with us for destiny!

The turning of a page....

Don't you just love opening a brand new beautiful and colorful notebook, grabbing your favorite pen and deciding what to write on that clean, white page? Or do you hesitate, wondering what if you mess the page up, or your ink runs out or you misspell something or you spill coffee on it???  Sometimes that first word, on the first page is the hardest.  BUT go for it!!! Jump right in! It's a brand new day, a brand new month and time's a wasting!!! I woke up this morning after a great night's sleep, ( which is somewhat rare) Remembered a dream I had (sometimes happens)...in which I Spoke a sentence in Polish and it seemed correct (and short :-) (an absolute first!) I realized then it was August first and I could turn the page on my calendar!! and in that small act of turning a page, I sensed a shift, a much bigger SHIFT. Suddenly, anything was possible, everything was possible!!! Everything was new,  new mercies, new grace, new favor, a new start, new creative ideas

What life is like in Poland!!

I am overwhelmed with the hospitality, the helpfulness and the love of the Polish people! I believe most Polish people have these characteristics but I know I am right now smack in the middle of God's "Uncommon Treasure's" and right in the middle of a refreshing move of the Spirit. The River of God is rising all around the world and He does not want anyone to miss it!!! I have rented an apartment in the downtown area, close to the church and as most of you will not be surprised to hear...it has become a "HUB" of activities!!! On my first Sunday speaking of the new time and the new things God wanted to do, He gave this scripture: Isa 65.8 Thus says the Lord: "As the new wine is found in the cluster,  and they say, 'Do not destroy it, for there is a blessing in it,'" ESV  We began then to add more "clusters", gathering people and being aware of who wasn't yet joined int he cluster.  I began holding ladies meetings every Friday
