GOIAM



I was so blessed to be able to travel to the USA to attend the Grace Outreach International Association of Ministries GOIAM conference again this year.  The event is hosted by Grace Fellowship, Nashua, New Hampshire and Pastor Paul Berube. Paul and his wife Sandy and I met in 1979 in Anchorage, Alaska. This was the 12th year of GOIAM and as always was a rich time in Word, Spirit, Praise, Worship and sweet fellowship.  Attendees this year were from over 9 different countries and about a dozen states.  Speakers were the ever enriching and challenging R.T. Kendall and this year Michael P. Cavanaugh, head of Elim Bible in Lima, NY.  Also, a friend and IHOP missionary, Joshua Hawkins.

We were blessed with an evening of worship called "Tent of Meeting", a key weekly event at Grace, and a "sampler" of the monthly meeting "Shabbat". Both were amazing times in God's Presence.

In addition, this conference, is a time to meet up with old and new friends and ministries that reach out around the globe. Truly, a taste of Kingdom living and serving.

Watch this space: http://gracefellowship.libsyn.com to listen to the podcasts of the teachings. (not posted yet).  You may even hear me laughing during Mike Cavanaugh's first session on "Unity" - the 4 major differences in the body. See if you relate more closely to the Prayer, the relater, the analyzer or the doer.

Looking forward to October 2014!

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...

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!!
