Thank you for praying for the Haiti pastors’ conference.

Many pastors, denominational leaders and superintendents talked about the conference as a divine moment and in terms of "before and after." The conference changed their lives and renewed their passion to serve the Lord together across denominational lines in Haiti.

Many have traveled far and wide from all over the country.

The preaching of the word was powerful, the worship was amazing and prayer was thunderous.

Once again we are asking for prayer. Please pray for Pastors Gary Wilkerson, Claude Houde, and their team. Also pray for the pastors and leaders of Haiti.

The trip to Cairo was incredibly fascinating. We can read books about it, check the Internet for a country profile, or learn its history but it’s the people and their stories that bring it to life and made a big difference.

Please pray for Bettina Marayag, our International Conference Director, as she travels to Cairo, Egypt August 21–27, 2008 to have pre-conference meetings with church leaders.

Thank you for praying for us during the conference in Mexico.

There were lots of tears, loud cries and deep work of the Holy Spirit. Fervent thunderous prayer was offered unto the Lord.  Many confessed healing and restoration. Joy broke out at the end of the session.

We are all back home in the US. Once again, thank you for praying.

Gary preached three sessions yesterday. Healing and restoration took place. A lot of women broke down in tears — a deep work of the Holy Spirit. Pastor Dave will preach two sessions this morning. We will keep you posted. Please continue to pray for us.

First session started at 6pm tonight. Pastor Dave preached on "The Message of Cross." Many are weary and tired but when the WORD is preached, many are revived. We have four sessions tomorrow and we will keep you posted. Please continue to pray for us.

We were all set to go as of last week until I received a message that the original venue was not available. We made a short trip and managed to find another venue, smaller than what we have hoped. Please pray that all who come will fit. We have overflow rooms. We trust that the Lord will make a way.

It's hot and humid but when it rains it can get cold.

More tomorrow.

Bettina
