awesome, wonderful, unbelievable

there are just no words to describe how this trip is going - in every way, it is exceeding all our expectations! The women of CLC are 'doing us all proud' with their loving & anointed ministry to the Filipinas in the women's conference, and the impact they're having is amazing. At the Global Advance conference for pastors, we're seeing not only real receptivity to the training and teaching, but even a wonderful outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The conference includes pastors from many different denominations, so at the end of the first day I gave an invitation for 'non-charismatics' who wanted to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit to come forward, and dozens of them did, and they were filled! Yesterday the Executive Director of Global Advance, Dale Witt, gave a strong message about the Kingdom of God and whole auditorium exploded in prayer and a powerful move of the Holy Spirit continued for a long time as Filipinos repented on behalf of their nation and cried out to the Lord together. It was indescribable!

Then early this morning I was awakened with a phone call (forgot to shut my cell phone off) confirming that Bishop Joseph Garlington will be a guest speaker at CLC for our "First Love Conference" in January! Joseph is one of my all-time heroes, and this news was worth the wake-up call at 2:40am!!! You won't want to miss - mark your calendar now for January 13-15 when he and Pastor Richard Heard will be ministering!

I'll keep you updated on the remainder of our journey - thanks for praying - it's working!
