"For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD our God." Jer. 31.6

After being home for only two weeks, we will be taking a team of thirteen people to Israel. In great anticipation we embark to see the Word of God and six thousand years of Bible history come alive for this group. Below is a picture of us on the temple steps, where Jesus walked when he went into the temple.


Below is a picture at EnGedi, where David was hiding in a cave from Saul. Seeing the actual geography enlightens the bible.

Please keep these 13 people in your prayers. May God richly reveal Himself to them in an even deeper way.

WESTERN EUROPE

Paul said to Barnabus "Let's go back to every city where we spread the Lord's word. We'll visit the believers to see how they are doing." Acts. 15.36
Ps 26:7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

IRELAND
We had the privilege to minister at a teen challenge in Ireland this year. After the precious time of ministry we were invited for tea and biscuits with the women living there. It was a excellent time of intimate sharing about life and Jesus. We are so grateful for this opportunity. Below is a picture of the home that houses the teen challenge program.


The theme of the conference this year was "saying YES." While Terry ministered to the adults, Pat was ministering to the children. Pat also had a time of teacher training with those that that work with the children in the church.
We had many meetings with leaders. It was done Irish style with food and tea. This setting allowed a more relaxed and intimate time of questions and answers for so many things that come up in ministry.
We were so blessed to see how much the church has grown in just one year. We had many moments of that special one on one ministry with new and old members of the church body. There were also some very intimate times of prayer.
BELGIUM

Our next stop was Belgium to Christian Church of Antwerp. It had been three years since our last visit and it was wonderful to again greet the old and meet the new brothers and sisters in the Lord.
Below we are with Pastors Wille and Nelly, our precious co-laborers in the Lord.
It was so exciting to see how much the church has grown in the last three years. The Sunday service was so filled that many people had to sit on the steps as they ran out of chairs.
We had many moments of one on one times of fellowship, encouragement and prayer for our precious brothers and sisters in the Lord.


Below is a picture of our precious brothers and sisters in Belgium. This is a Spanish speaking church in a Flemish speaking country, so it has it challenges. But God has been faithful.

Once again our extreme thanks to those who kept us in their prayers. We are eternally grateful.

LEAVING ON A JET PLANE....

In just a few minutes we will be leaving for the airport.

WHERE?
IRELAND
Our first stop is Ireland. We have been invited to minister at their Autumnfest Conference 2010.
The theme is "Saying 'YES' - Obedience to God's vision." In addition to the conference, we will be very busy with some leadership meetings, teacher training for the children ministry workers, and encouraging our Irish friends and co-laborers in the Lord. The schedule is packed with ministry so please keep us in your prayers for wisdom, strength, anointing and health.

BELGIUM
We will also be heading to Belgium this trip. It has been three years since we last ministered in Belgium. We have heard our schedule will be quite busy there also. We would appreciate prayer for this part of the trip as we minister at this Spanish speaking church in a Flemish speaking country.

We will do our best to keep our friends, supporters and family updated as much as possible. Please feel free to comment on our blog as encouragement from home goes a long way when we are so far from home.

God Bless
Pastor Terry and Pat
