Ministry News NEWSLETTERJune 14, 2008 Letter 6 Vol. 2

JUST A THOUGHT: As probably most of you know, there is a great revival going on in Lakeland, Florida, with Todd Bentley. I have received many reports from various ‘TMCI’ ministries of the miracle healings and words of knowledge that are coming out of that meeting. Bishop Charles Wynn and Rev. Jamese Wynn went to Booneville, Mississippi, for a 3 day revival which turned into 11 days. There was a great move of God along with many healings. You can see more details on their website livingonthefrontline.com. As I write this, I am planning to attend a revival in Wrens, Georgia by two of our pastors. Ginny and I are going expecting God to move among His people. It is exciting to see God move when His people come together and He shows up with power. One of Ben Covington’s (founder of TMCI) favorite hymns was ReviveUs Again. I remember him having people sing that hymn over and over again during His revivals. O how it would lift my spirit! Thinking about revivals has brought to remembrance the verse in 2 Timothy 1:6 – “This is why I remind you to fan into flames (to stir up) the spiritual gift God gave you whenI laid my hands on you.” (NLT) It is good for us to come together for revival. We need the encouragement of a group. But, the real responsibility for revival is within us. We must revive ourselves everyday so we can bring that revival within us to start a spiritual awakening in our community The greatest revival is birthed out of quiet time with God

Am I excited about all these revivals going on? You better believe it! But, I also know that reviving a few Christians will not bring Spiritual Awakening to the lost or to our nation until we bring that flame into our communities. Let’s be part of bringing real revival into our communities! Bishop Bob

Where we stayed at the Seminary It is under construction still but Pastor Pablo has great faith and vision. Work teams come at times but they can only do as much as the funds allow. They are paying as they go so the work is slowly getting done each year. The seminary takes any pastor that is interested in comng for training. They host those who come at the facility. Our team they said is the only Mission Team that they have had that they have had come and have worked at the churches. We have seen much done over the Twenty years since Bishop Ben & Judy & Bishop Bob first went down. This year they celebrated their 20th year celebration as the Methodist Church Of Paraguay. They now have over 30 churches.

God continues to be faithful to TMCI and its ministries. We see God giving special blessing to many. He continues to add to our number weekly. In April, Bishop Tom & Rev. Angela Solomon went with Ginny and me to the Ethnic Ministries Summit in St. Louis. It was an eye opening experience. One statistic that surprised me was that in ten to twelve years the population in the United States will be more than 50% immigrants. The world is coming to our doorstep. If you want to know what ethnic groups are in your area you can get that information on a website peopleserv.com. They will tell you what ethnic groups are in your area and how many. They also have information on how to reach them with the Gospel One problem with the increase of new immigrants is that they often bring other gods. They need Jesus, so we must be prepared to share Jesus in a way these ‘people groups’ can understand. At the end of April, we had a Connection Reception in McDonough, GA. It was hosted by Bishops Dale and Angie Hicks. We had good teaching along with prayer and fellowship. All went away blessed and renewed. The month of May continued with blessings for Ginny and me. On May 2 we had a Connection Reception in Jacksonville, Florida at Johnny Green’s church and we had revival! It seemed that everyone had a song and a testimony. We were especially blessed by the presence of Mother Elliot and Mother Henry. These are two powerful women of God who have paid the price of ministry (in their 70’s & 80’s) are still ministering and encouraging younger ministers. At the end of the reception these powerful women prayed over the whole congregation, including Ginny and me. The next night we were in Kendall, Florida (near Miami) at Revs. Angel and Blanca Ortiz’s Spanish Church. This was a warm up for our mission trip to Paraguay. I preached and Pastor Ortiz interpreted. After the sermon, we had a prayer line and God showed up in power. God impressed upon me that I would see more of this power ministry in Paraguay. (and we did)!

Our Trip To Paraguay The team consisted of Willie Mae Robinson and Georgine Ivy from Philadelphia, Connie Kesner from West Virginia, Joe Werner from Los Angeles, California, and Scott, Ginny and me from South Carolina. This trip was the most powerful we have experienced to date. We saw many saved, healed and delivered. We all brought the message of hope to the people and they responded. The preaching and teaching were powerful but, the most effective ministry took place in the prayer lines which happened every time we met with a church.

For example: On Monday night after Ginny had given her testimony, Willie Mae shared for about ten minutes how miraculously God had supplied the money for her to come. Then she said. “God gave her the money so she could come and minister to them in prayer. So that was what she was going to do.” She invited the people to come forward if they wanted prayer. Two hours later she finished praying for the people with a powerful anointing. During the day we had divine appointments. One afternoon, while the women were at a women’s conference, the men visited and prayed for an older woman who had been in bed for a month with arthritis pain. We prayed for her and God relieved the pain so - she got up and walked. She was in church the next night! Joe Werner had a chance to go to the men’s prison on Thursday night. Again, God moved in a powerful way. Because of Joe’s visit last year, God had opened a door for the local pastors to have weekly ministry at the prison. I could go on and on, but will leave you with this last praise report. On our last Saturday morning, Connie and Willie Mae were asked to go to a women’s prison. Connie preached and gave an altar call then she and Willie prayed for the women. There were only 20 women at the meeting, but, when some of the women got healed they went out and got other women who were not at the meeting to come for prayer. As a result, several Satan Worshippers were delivered and saved. The meeting that was to last about two hours however, turned into a four-to-five hour meeting. God again moved in a miraculous way. Lastly, when we retuned from Paraguay after flying all night, Scott, Ginny and I drove from Miami to South Carolina in about ten hours. Ginny and I slept in our own bed Tuesday night and left the next day for Baltimore, Maryland, to be at our grandson Chris’ s Eagle Scouts Award Ceremony on Thursday. It was another ten-hour trip. We also attended his graduation the following Tuesday night.. But, we were blessed to rest and to be there over the weekend. All our daughters were there and all our grandchildren so we had a good family time. Although our son and his wife could not make it they let their children come. All in all, May was a very blessed time for us, as we saw God move in many ways. It was surely a blessed month for us.

A Word from Sister Judy Dearly Beloved, As I write this, my twelve-year-old grandson William is visiting for a few days. When I told William I needed to write an article for the newsletter, he suggested I write about I Corinthians 1 - the divisions in the church. So, with William's help, this is what I will do. Lately, I have noticed that many of the Christians I talk to are expressing hunger for God and a dissatisfaction with the status quo in their personal experiences with God. As individuals and groups, the requirements for real revival are happening. We are overdue for an awakening to God and God is always more than willing to give us as much of Himself as we desire. In the past, I have met many people who were passionate about the unity (or lack of unity) of the church. I believe this new seeking after God will bring the unity of the Body that all the members long for. William says: You should always be like Jesus and say, "What would Jesus do?" If you do what Jesus would do, you never will make a mistake. Jesus healed the Syro-Phonecian woman's daughter. She was not Jewish but, much like we should do, he was not hateful to her. I think we all can be living more like Jesus. John writes in I John 4:20 "If anyone says, 'I love God,' yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen." You should always try to be the bigger person. As we mix our passion for God with William's very good advice about how to treat each other, we will experience real revival and true unity (lack of division) in the church

Prayer Team: Do not forget that we have a prayer team that we cover you and your ministry in prayer. E-mail your prayer requests to Rev. Dorothy McClees at hardor7@yahoo.com. If you are interested in becoming a prayer warrior, please contact Dorothy.

FOREIGN MISSIONS: Our ministries in foreign lands are still going strong. The work in Liberia continues. God used us for special projects in Dominican Republic, Guatemala, and Paraguay. God added another missionary to our list the Revs. Brandon & Janico Walker from Virginia Beach, VA. They are in Mozambique for training and will eventually end up ministering in the Sudan. It is important to pray for our missionaries as the Rev. Pat Lamoreau experience recently shows. She was teaching in Nigeria when one night Bandits came into her room and stole her money and goods. She literally had to flee for her life. Pat is ok but it was a harrowing experience for her. She is in England with her daughter and is praying about going back to Nigeria. Many of you have shown interest in short term missions. If you truly want to go, contact me and I will try to get you with a team. In the meantime, when opportunities for ministries come up on the countries you designated on your monthly reports, I will notify you. House Keeping Items: It’s time to think about the 2009 renewal. As you know, as part of the condition to be a member of TMCI you must renew yearly. Attached is the 2009 Renewal Form. We would prefer that you fill it on line at TMCIworld.com. If you cannot, please down load and send it by mail.
