Minister’s conference for me was like a place where I get  a very ”expensive jewelry” – what. I took this jewelry and put ”on may neck” – in may heart as one of the the most expensive treasure.

Some of these jewels are:

• Guard your anointing and anointing will guard you,
• The biggest enemy of anointing is triviality and tolerance, always be in expectation
• Glory of God always represent who you are…

During MC2010 I realized how important is to be in team, to be trained and prepared for team work under Authority of God. I understood that just expectancy of revival is not enough. There is something more than just catching the Fire. We have to be ready to maintain it!

Let’s say, you throw me basket ball. If I don’t expect it, ball can hurt me. If I expect it and catch it, I can throw it and if I’m lucky, I can get some points. But I have lost it, because I was playing alone, doesn’t matter how good I was. But if I play in prepared team under Good Coach, I will be able not just catch the ball, not just throw it ones, but together with my team we will be able to keep the ball, to take it through the game and be the winners when the final trumpet sounds!

I can undoubtedly say that the 3^rd year internship here at RBI has radically changed my life; and through me I believe the Lord is radically changing the lives of many other people. I am currently leading a bible study in a community within the city. We have a regular attendance of 25-40 people every Monday night. Just having the precious opportunity to pour into the lives of other people what has been poured into me is a blessing beyond measure. We had begun to share on stewardship and giving about 3 months ago and we have seen incredible moves of God in the finances of our regular attendees. About a month after we had begun to share on seed time and harvest one of our people had a desperate need financially.

I told her to continue to not only believe in the word but speak it continually. One Sunday morning Pastor Todd was teaching on making room for the anointing. He called up this lady and prayed for her. As she was out under the power of God members of the church just began to walk up and give her money. Checks, cash, whatever they had they gave. When she had counted it all it turned out to be more than enough for her need. This is as much of a testimony to me as it is to her seeing that the Lord works with us, confirming his word with signs following. No one guilted or begged the people to give to her, they simply got up of their own accord and gave. The Lord is continuing to do mighty things in this community and I believe that the best is yet to come. If not for the internship here, I would not have had the opportunity to go and to teach the word, therefore the Lord would have nothing to confirm.

I had the ultimate pleasure of assisting Pastor’s Allen and Kristin as a youth leader for this year’s summer youth camp. The youth camp was called “Encounter” and rightly so! We took over 55 youth members and 15 leaders to camp for five days and four nights of “funtivities,” character building games and exercises, and Holy Ghost meetings.  It was incredibly rewarding to serve every youth member for the whole week because I was able to pour into their lives, see them get touched by God, and truly encounter God—some for the first time!  These students had their lives shaken by the love of God and the word of God Pastor Allen and Kristin ministered at every gathering; they undoubtedly will never be the same after having this life altering experience.

I only wish that we were able to have thousands experience this youth camp to the point that we take over the whole campground for an entire week!  Hearing the testimonies from most of the students and reading what they wrote down as their “camp testimony” opened my eyes to just how amazing God is that He will touch every person who is hungry for Him in a way that they know without a doubt that God is REAL, He loves them, and He has a wonderful and unique plan for each one of them!

It is Jan 2nd and I am watching Pastors Eric and Jennifer on the Web.  I am so encouraged by them.  I remember the first time I talked to Jennifer when I answered the product line at RMI.  God has really done a work in their lives.  God is so faithful and I can testify that his word is true. Last Feb 1st after the Super bowl was over my husband dropped a bombshell on me.  I knew that he had been watching porn on the internet and we had had several heated discussions concerning it.  That night he brought me a paper that he had hidden in the garage for a week.  It was a notice that had been taped to our mailbox from the Hillsborough County Health Department ordering me to come in for testing.  My husband had started to act out what he was watching on the Web and he had picked up a girl on the side of the street, paid her for oral sex and he had gotten syphillus from her.

He had been sick for months and knew he was in trouble but he hadn’t told me until his doctor finally realized what the problem was and had him tested.  Of course, the facility that tested him was required by law to report it to the Health Department.  I was devastated and I begged him to get help.  He told me that he had apologized to me, that he was sorry and that was all he could do.  He didn’t have a problem and didn’t need any help.  Two days later I spent three hours at the Health Department totally humiliated as I was inspected from head to toe inside and out and got two shots of penicillin. I stayed with him for two weeks after that continually trying to get him to realize he had a problem and that he needed help but he continued to deny it, saying it was a one time thing and never would happen again.  I knew in my heart and my spirit that that was a lie from the pit of hell.

I stayed for two weeks after that and then I left.  I had a young girlfriend with a small child that took me in and I lived with her, out of boxes for the next nine months.  I hadn’t been to church in almost three years, but I had prayed constantly and begged God not to give up on me.  I was struggling with my faith and was very disillusioned with the church. Well, God got me back in church.  I walked into a new church that next Sunday and God met me there.  Over the next few months God healed my hurt bit by bit.  I would get on my knees in my bedroom day after day crying and praying and repeating God’s promise.  I would say, “God, your word says that you have a plan and purpose for my life, a plan to prosper me and not to harm me.

This year’s summer camp meeting has been very impacting on my life. I had just come back from my honeymoon and walked straight into 8 days of very powerful services. For me personally, God spoke to me about getting hungrier and going to a new level in my relationship with Him. In the services much was said about impacting this generation by bringing the Gospel and the fire of God them. It stirred me more for what God can do through me to reach those around me and how I can serve in the area where I am at so that those above me can better reach more people. I am looking forward to every opportunity I have to share the Gospel and the fire of God inside of me. God spoke to me a lot about giving and sowing into His Kingdom.

I loved it when Joel Stockstill spoke. His testimony really gave me another outlook on my life. It is amazing how this man of God has gone through all that He has and has an even greater passion and drive for Christ through it all. That encourages me so much, no matter what I’ve gone through it is still not as bad as him and if he can make it so can I. But even just looking into Paul’s life and testimony and what he has gone through is so uplifting. It inspires me to have an even deeper relationship with God so that if I were to face anything like these men of God I can also make it through.

The services really brought the Word and ushered in the presence of God. This camp meeting was definitely life changing and launched me into a new level with my walk with Him. Thank you Jesus!

This past Sunday, December 13th, the River Church had an amazing outreach called Operation Raven. The church gave out 1,000 toys to kids in need of presents, boxes of food to each family, hot dogs for the kids, and even a bike give away. Over 300 church members volunteered to make this event happen. There was such an exuberant spirit of joy among all the volunteers. It was obvious that each one had donated their time willingly to help make Operation Raven possible. I was so blessed to be a part of Operation Raven and help reach out to so many kids.

When I arrived at the church at seven thirty in the morning, there were already parents with there kids in line to register for the toy give away. The church did not open the doors until nine. I thought to myself, they think that they are here to get presents for their kids and food for the week, but today they are getting the greatest gift anyone could receive, eternal life.

Was preaching an awesome salvation message and because I was in the back production room, I got to see the kid’s faces up close on the different camera shots.. Kids were weeping under the presence of God. Lives were impacted for eternity.

The whole day was supernatural. From the first down beat of worship, to the altar call, to the toy give away, the Spirit of God moved and coordinated the day so everything flowed smoothly. The proof of the pudding was the souls that were saved all because the Body of Christ came together and operated as God intended it to.

It was a pleasure to press in the entire week. The meetings were not like all the other meetings. Their was something unique about these meetings. It seemed as if the Evangelists and the Pastors are interested in what God is doing around the world.

I had a great time meeting several people from different parts of the states and other countries who felt so blessed to be part of the meetings.

Millions of homes all over the world were watching the live services. I believe that many lives were touched as they entered into the very presence of God. Throughout the week of these meetings Pastor Rodney shared the countries of the people that have been watching the services. I was excited to hear that so many people are getting involved in what God is doing. I just keep telling myself the nations are watching.

Throughout the services Pastor Rodney shared about the people that were sending in prayer requests. I know that God met their needs regardless of whether it was for healings, breakthroughs, salvations, or a fresh touch from God. It touched my heart knowing that there are so many needs around the world.

When Pastor Rodney shared about the couple that traveled in a tank in a very cold place. There was a town where people would look up to the sky and say, “God if you are real, send someone to tell us.” The couple came to them and shared about Jesus. That story so touched my heart I wept for days afterward when I would think about it. God reminded me about what he had already told me about “THE NATIONS ARE CALLING! THE NATIONS ARE CALLING!” Now I understand what God meant.

In conclusion these meetings affected my life by just seeing the major people come and be a part these meetings. Many lives were touched by the power of God.I got the revelation of what God has been speaking to me about the Nations; realizing that I’m nothing without the Lord. I would just pray to the Lord to burn things out of me.

I want to be part of the thousands of people in the army for Jesus.

I was so glad to meet people from my country – Latvia. They were big group, 6 adults and 2 kids. I felt in my sprit, it is time for shearing my Love to them and build up their faith with what God did in my life in last year. I was exercising my hospitality. It was a time of fellowship.  That is such a big blessing to be here in this special time, when ministry is going out of walls, out of time and country borders through Network and Internet. People flaying so far, to receive fire of God, that they can carry it back.  That is incredible sacrifice and thirst.

This was amazing time for me too. The God touch me in some areas of my life, my future ministry, and my relationships with God, songwriting and worshiper lifestyle.  I know this year will be new things in my life, ministry and I receive a gift of Faith, and that things can be done in Gods kingdom in Latvia and everywhere, where God will wants to send me. The God impact in me more Love and hunger for His word. I am going to be blessed, that I can bless others.  It was so good to see, ministers video greetings to pastors Rodney and Adonica for their faithful walking in Christ. I thought, that’s so powerful, that we can see each other walk in faith. I’m thankful to God for Pastors, that they protect their hearts, keep right attitude, never-ending hunger for the thing of God and passion to teach all nations about saving souls.  Never give up!

I`m just in early point in my ministry and this is a good point where to start. I will stay Open to Gods word, will be teachable and humble and always do things in Love of Christ. To see good examples of ministers, who going through every storm and still stand, it’s a pleasure.

 I always need to remember, that God is on my side.

When are you coming to Salt Lake City Utah? Lady filling car up with gas. She received Christ at gas station Restaurant- shells- vietnamese lady- “I heard you say some thing about Jesus”
