Dear Friend of MLM
IS THE TIDE COMING IN?
In our last letter I described my self as “cautiously optimistic about this season becoming more than just great meetings.” The last four weeks have had us mostly outside of the Hutt Valley in New Zealand. We have held meetings in six different cities and spoken into the lives of seven different churches.
We ministered at a church whose focus is largely to the poor and homeless in their city. Three responded to a salvation altar call. We spent time at their drop in center which is open to provide food and some shelter. We did get to pray with a couple of people. When we were last here God used the time of ministry to speak to a man about breaking his ties with one of the major gangs of New Zealand. The next day we were at the drop in center of a daughter church in a nearby city.
In another city a wife stood at her seat with the tears flowing down her face as she watched her husband respond to the salvation altar call. After the service her pastor said, “his responding to the salvation altar call was huge.”
Over coffee a prophet said to us, “as you ministered to that church staff I was becoming undone watching the anointing changing hearts.” In another ministry situation to a church staff we all experienced the moment it felt like “He walked into the room.” Another testimony indicated something “broke…when you came to **** recently.” Perhaps the break was in the church…perhaps it was in the person. I do not really know. I am just thrilled the break happened.
Several responded to a salvation invitation on the opening night of ministry at another church. The next day we spent over 4 hours ministering to the leadership of the church. The evening service that night turned into one of those nights that I suspect will be a very special memory for those who were there. The worship team was “in the pocked” that evening. At least one person had an encounter to where he was actually unable to move at the altar. Another was experiencing the “beauty of the LORD” as she sensed the anointing coming all over her.
At another church a visiting preacher told me, “I could have listened to you preach all night this past Sunday night.” A revival veteran said to me, “tonight was my night."
