Life is very exciting!!!!   With God anything is possible!!!!!!!!!!    How to live life without limits!!!!!!!!!!!   The only problem is between our ears!!!!!!!!!!   We were born for greatness!!!!!!!!!!

     A serious study has been done by Howard Gardner to test people for genius and at age 4 the test showed 100% of the kids were geniues, at age 20 only 10% tested at genius and age 25, 2% showed genius.

    What happened? Life happened and our beliefs about ourselves and the possibilities in God have been covered over. 

    The good news is that it has only been covered and not taken from us over 4 yr. olds so I say lets do all we can to unbury it. The world needs our genius in whatever area we have genius for!!!!!!!

   I would say the main theme I am coming away with from GSSM is the lack of religiousness, freedom in God with confidence in my identity to work with God to accomplish my assignment.

   Last night Dawn Snyder arrived at our apartment and she will be staying with us for a week and going to school with us.How nice to have someone from NTC here to visit with and throw our thoughts around with. How nice to have someone from home get to see what it is we are doing and have a sence about what we are experiencing. Also we love to show off our family from NTC.

  We have had no winter like we know winter! Can't complain about that.

  I am starting to get lonesome for home. I will be home for Easter but I am getting to where I don't just want to visit but be there to take part in my life with NTC.

  We do have a lot more exciting and life giving things coming up so that is good for the time to past. Also I know God send me here for 9 months ( birthing time ) for a reason.

  Love to everyone who reads these entrees.

      It's hard to believe I have been here only two months in one way and it seems like a lot longer in another way. Being away from family seems long but all that has happened in God seems like, we have only been here two months? I feel I have a lot to digest.

    Went to Brazil as a mission trip and got to pray for lots of people who said the pain had left, they were feeling the presense of God as never before etc. but I really wanted something I could put my hands on, so to speak. and then I got to pray for a 10yr. old boy who was legally deaf and he got his hearing. Yah God. I had no feelings of anionting or faith and sort of didn't want to pray and see nothing but his sister, through an interperter, asked me so  what was I going to say. We knew about 10 Portugese words for prayer but they were successful. I was so unsure myself I had him tested about 5 times to make sure he really, really heard. Anyway a pic of him with his mom and Tom Jones, a director with Global.

  So here he is. Tom is holding his ear pieces he wore just to get by somewhat with. Who knows maybe that is all God sent me there for. And that would be OK. Although I know I got lots and haven't even digested what it all means.

  Randy Clark keeps talking about impartation and things happen inside one isn't trying to work on and one is different as God is downloading into ones spirit. Sometimes of impartation I feel and others nothing so I am trusting  something is going on. Seven more months to go to know if that is really so because the proof is in the pudding and will I be any different or have more fruit when I return and meet the real world again?

   My heart is so for our region and wanting something to offer.

   In the meantime, Rod is going to be here on Wed. for the Voice of the Apostles Conference and staying for almost a week so Yah, I can't wait to be with him and share face to face and see what he thinks and sees about all that has happened so far.

   All for now. 

Being away from home

Well yes here I am living in PA and it has now been three weeks. Nine months will be a long time.

My desk top on my computer has a great pic of Jayden with a floppy hat on and my screen saver has multiple family pics floating by at all times. Can't begin to tell you how many times I have sat at the computer just watching my family float by, all 100 pics of them. It warms my heart.

This coming Tues we leave for 2 weeks in Brazil for a missions trip. Molly will be able to be with us for two days of ministry and then again at a beach when we get free time the whole day so I have an interperter and we can minister together. How great is that?

Sounds like good things are going on at home. I am anxious to see how the House Church works out. That is exactly what is happening here and we are in at the foundation. They are doing House Church and a church plant here in Mechanicsburg which we are a big part of so we are gleaning all we can.

School so far has been a lot of Father's love, inner healing and hearing the voice of God. Good foundational stuff for anyone who hasen't heard and always more for those of us who have been aware.

Lots of great people to meet with a first year class of 60 and a second year class of 25.

Well all for now, hopefull much to share after 2 weeks in Brazil.

Well quess what? GSSM is even more than we imagined.

Last week was our first official week of school with guest speakers and ministry.

We are involved in a church plant which is very interesting.  Randy is starting a church here in Mechanicsburg and it will be pastored by Max Meyers, also GSSM director. We are a big part of it as it is in the beginning stages and we do the work.

There is a very big enphensis on relationship therefore people get together at the drop of the hat and keep it very simple. Just hang out and talk. The intergenerational thing has been highly taught so it's a real mix. Young and old alike go out to lunch together with no tension. I like that since I am older and love to talk to the younger set. Our roommate helps us out a lot on that.

Mike Perry cane to visit Mary for a few days so that made me lonesome for the first time. Up until now it was just us doing something different like going to a conference. Rod is coming down for the first week of Nov. for a 4 day conference and staying 2 extra days so that is something we are looking forward to.

Jayden is getting used to the idea he has to talk and see me in the computer so that is fun. Jonas is getting so big and looks more and more like the French side. One boy looks like Rod and one looks like Del so I asked Heidi how she felt about raising two grandpa's.

We have Sat, Sun and Mon off so school starts again tomorrow. Reading to do.

GSSSM= Global School of Supernatural Ministry

    Well we did register, orientation and two days of class. Had our first Sunday here at the Church of the Great Commission, which is a church plant. Today was actually the first day of the church plant going every week. They also have House Churches(known to us as Small Groups). They highly stress the House Church for relationship, prayer, accountability and evangelism. So interesting to be involved in a Church plant. Worship was good, Randy Clark shared, Mary was a greeter and I was an usher. Like I said church plant, they need everyone to help.

All has been so amazingly great we know it is a God thing. One might think we would feel like a fish out of water but not at all. We feel completly at home. We have met some great young and old people. There is a lot of dynamite in this class. So many different backgrounds and education. God has called together quite a collection of people for this years class. Randy Clark and Max Meyers (the director of the school ) are amazed at what God intends to do with us.

So we will see. Try to keep you posted.
