Testimonies of Healing!
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. Matthew 10:8

Coming Events
I love the informality of New Zealand. Here is Mount Ruapehu, taken when a commercial flight, with a little spare time, took us on a guided tour!
Another lady then testified that she could hear in her left ear which had been made totally deaf by a blow from a former husband. Earlier a lady had run round the hall rejoicing to be out of pain for the first time in years! Backs had straightened, arthritis disappeared, stomach and other pains gone, many more than we could account for. God is so wonderful!
The School of Healing had begun with a call for people with bad backs, and eight people stood. I felt the Lord say to bring them all to the front, and invite others to come and lay hands on them. One by one God showed us what the problems were. One lady (very honestly) confessed to strain. We led her in a prayer for forgiveness for taking on too much, and she was soon pain-free! Down the line we went, each one a perfect illustration of another aspect of healing! God seemed to have arranged the whole thing. Among the line for healing Bron also stood, her back giving trouble too. The lady who prayed for her rested her hand on the exact spot (without consultation), and Bron actually felt the Holy Spirit massaging the pain away!
The next day we sent the delegates out in pairs to knock on local doors. Almost all received a polite welcome and several were healed. These good folk really took the message to heart, and we know that many more will be healed through their hands. In a short time we made good friends and we look forward to returning to that city.
Ministry grows
Two weeks earlier, Bron & I had toured the North Island to speak in Full Gospel Businessmen’s Fellowship International meetings in Napier, Dannevirke and Feilding. Many were healed at these too, and over 13 made decisions for Christ. And a week later I flew down to Palmerston North to speak at a conference on evangelism.
Meanwhile our commitments at our church are growing apace. I have been helping with various aspects of administration, but have now been invited to be on staff at Life Leadership College, the Bible College we began last year, and where I am teaching each week. The students are a delight, hungry for the Word, and I am learning new skills. As with everything CLCA touches, the vision is huge, but nothing is too big for God.
Bron has been leading worship again, and also helping to refurbish the first New Zealand Mercy Home, due to open shortly. Mercy Homes were begun in USA by Nancy Alcorn a decade ago, to assist young girls whose lives have spun out of control. Many have eating disorders, or a history of abuse. All are broken and need a loving environment to restore their lives.
I am due to revisit Rwanda in July with Mark Zschech to attend the Day of Hope, and see what the Lord has done in the last year. While there, I hope to fit in a couple of Schools of Healing in towns that were rather neglected during Hope:Rwanda last year. Then it’s off to UK, where I will be preaching at Streams in Salisbury Guildhall on 29th July, and where I do hope to catch up with many old friends. We still miss the wonderful times of worship at TheWell.
Back at home, our time is taken up with making plans to build a garage onto the house – our current one is being slowly uprooted by a magnificent totora tree. And an upstairs will give Bron a decent work-room, something she has wanted for nearly 20 years! We’ve been enjoying a wonderful autumn and early winter, the vegetable patch and fruit trees have dripped with abundance in the still-warm days. We truly love this place that the Lord has so amazingly given us. It will be even better with additions!
