Darrel 21 years old, he just got off the phone with his grandmother she just prayed for him and he ran into us he accepted the Lord as his Savior on the spot. I went out soulwinning last week in Cincinatti. I don’t walk up and talk to people easily but still got 5 people to pray the prayer between that week.
I did script with woman, she had first stated she never understood about salvation, going to heaven, because she wasn’t smart. As I read the script broke down the words for her. She said thank you, no one ever took the time to explain it to her. I thank God for the great awakening. When I came on tues I was #2 felt weighted down, oppressed. Now Im excited about God and winning souls again. Also did script with a man who was on his way to pain clinic he said his wife was Jehovah Witness. I told him I wasn’t talking about wife. He did the script & recieved prayer.
Rise and Build Testimony When Pastor Rodney first introduced Rise and Build to the church we pledged to give 100$/ month in the following year 2009. Soon after that we received a new mortgage calculation for the year 2009 and our monthly payments were to be 130$ less on the year 2009. So the Lord immediately provided the seed. During the Campmeeting my husband felt compelled to give 1000$ seed. Since I was not at the service with him, he decided to wait before telling me so that my faith could join with him, and on the last Sunday night we were finally sitting together in the service and he told me he had a seed in mind. I was so drunk It didn’t face me at all, I gladly sowed the seed from the credit card, and immediately next day we got a check in mail for 2000$ from our mortgage company for the extra we had paid previous year!! God provided the seed again immediately, and proved that when we take care of His house He takes care of ours.
I cant remember rightly which month the Crusade was but it was at Boondal Entertainment Centre in Brisbane in 1998, and my life changed drastically from the moment that I had a face to face encounter with the Holy Spirit. I went to this crusade hungry but in great depair … my circumstances were rather grim at the time … my marriage was badly breaking down and nothing helped. I went with friends who encouraged me to “press in”. On the 3rd day of the meetings , with only one day to go , I remember standing there during worship and saying to God … Father I came all this way to meet with you … please do not let me go home tomorrow without something happening to me. I was crying and singing …. then during that period of worship I needed to go to the bathroom so I told my friend I was going and walked off up the centre aisle watching people laughing and rolling around , when suddenly … it was like I had walked into this force field of power , it literally knocked me over, one minute I was walking , the next I fell down on the ground and was literally pinned to the floor while these waves of heat and love and power just flowed all over me. I couldnt get up for some time and in the end I remember Rodney asking the Ushers to go and help me up and take me somewhere. They did that , but the effects of what had happened to me lasted all the rest of that day and through the next day’s meeting. When Rodney came at the end of the crusade and prayed for everyone , I was so drunk I couldnt stand up and some people were holding me upright for prayer …I could hear him a few people away from me praying and then I felt someone stand before me and place their hand on me and again I felt this same power surge through me … I opened my eyes for a moment and there was no one there. Then when Rodney got to pray for me he simply said “fire” and I remember hitting the ground and later people carrying me to the car. This was the start of a series of events in my life that has brought me to where I am now. I need to cut a long story short. I had been attending a Pentecostal Bible School part time for training becos I knew in my heart God had called me since I was a child to serve him , I left there after about 16mths becos of circumstances at home. But was glad for the training I got. Then I ended up being with a Missions organisation in 2002 and helped establish a Kids Church for indigenous children …. later the organisation ordained me and straight after that ordination … all hell broke loose in my life. My husband left me the next year and came back in early 2004 and then in August of that year our only son was killed in a motorbike accident. My world collapsed …. a few months after the funeral my husband decided he needed to leave for good and so that was the end of my 29 year marriage …. so we divorced and we lost our house and the business we had shared. He moved on that year and got engaged and later married. I felt shattered … I had lost my life as I knew it … my beautiful son was gone , altho I knew he was with Jesus , losing an adult child is devestating. My marriage I had prayed so hard for and tried so hard to salvage was gone forever. My income was gone and I no longer had a home. Then a few months after that my only brother rang me to tell me he had been given 6 mths to live from cancer , he had a very aggressive form of cancer and was in the last stages. I was again shattered. Then not long after that I discovered on a doctors visit that I had 1st stage of cancerous cells in my uterus and had to go for an operation. By this stage I was feeling overwhelmed with loss and grief. YET in it all I still sensed the strong presence of God. I hung onto my Father with all that I had. I took long walks and told Him everything about how I was feeling and even yelled and ranted out my anger to Him. In all of this He comforted me, He found a few quality people and put them around me as support. It was an extremely intense time and very very painful and I still had to go through many deep waters , BUT God sustained me by His presence and somehow I stood through it all. I moved eventually to live with old and wonderful friends … the ones who I had gone to the Crusade with many years before. They encouraged me to join them in an African Church they were now leaders in and I did and thoroughly enjoyed it and the young Zimbabweans God used to help heal me and lift me up and I went a few times to Zimbabwe with my friends for conferences . That was when I realised that I had the call to the nations once again. God had called me to this when I was a little child growing up in my church.Now the call was loud and clear and after Africa I could see the doors opening. Since then God has opened doors for me and I have travelled to a few nations to minister … my most recent trip to India from November 08 – January 09 I saw God moving mightily and I was in 2 states of Southern India and we went into rural areas as well as cities and the people are hungry and many Hindus came for prayer. God truly touched me as much or more I think than the people I prayed for. I look back and I thank God for my “divine appointment” at the Boondal Entertainment Centre in 1998 , becos I have no doubt in my mind that it was the start of Gods dealings in my life …. I continued to have many encounters with the Holy Spirit for a few years later and now I know that God was strengthening me for things ahead that I had to endure and also training me in the Spirit for ministry ahead. I will be eternally grateful to God for this ministry of revival and I bear testimony to the goodness of the Holy Spirit and Gods faithfulness. May God be glorified in all our lives and may we bring joy to His heart by serving Him and His people.
