We are still here at the ranch doing two community meetings to bring people from various churches together into greater unity for the Kingdom of God. By the way it has been snowing for the past couple of days and we have about 5 inches on our car right now. Brenda had an awesome ministry team gathered from Washington, Oregon, Nevada and Illinois. Everyone got to minister and all 150 or so ladies got ministered to. The attendance was about double the normal for this retreat and broke all previous attendance numbers. But the highlight was the releasing of so many people into exercising their own gifts. Another highlight was a glorious deliverance, where once again evil spirits had to relinquish their hold on a precious lady. It was a process, but she received great peace and joy when it was over. I (Ben) got to share a message on the emotional personality on Sunday morning and God again blessed. Brenda was at her best ever on Saturday night sharing from her heart. The ladies enjoyed it so very much. The theme of the retreat was "Hallelujah Hoedown" I told the ladies that the meaning of Hoedown in the Greek was that it was time to put their hoe down and praise the Lord with energy and joy. The word Hallelujah in the Hebrew (this is genuine) means to praise God with abandon, spinning like a top and dancing before the Lord. It's what David did and what he told us to do as well. I would so appreciate it if more of you would share your testimonies on our web site (www.ohmint*****). We would love it if others could hear what God has done for you. You can also share prayer request with the fellowship button. We will be in Hanna fellowshiping with our friends there in a day or two and then on Sunday morning we will be in Strathmore at the Full Gospel Church. Sunday night we will be at West Calgary Full Gospel. We have a couple of home meetings on Monday and Tuesday in Calgary and then go to Prince George, B.C. for their annual camp. After that weekend we will be in Vavenby, B.C. and then Kamloops, B.C. for the next weekend before returning finally to our family in Washington state. In early June we will be in Oregon, California and Nevada. We will end up the month of June in Farmington, New Mexico and then return to Washington for the 4th of July with family. Most of July and August, we will be in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Thanks again for your prayers and love. We appreciate you all so much! Blessings in Jesus, Ben and Brenda |
