Home again home again!

The time has finally come, the finale of one chapter and the beginning of another! Today, team UK made the long journey back across the pond, remembering with fondness our English thoughts and moments, and looking forward toward what lies in store. No doubt, by now all of our team members are nestled deeply in their beds, dreaming sweet dreams and smelling familiar scents of home. Hats off to Danielle and Sarah Jean, our fearless and patient leaders, soaring where no pioneer has gone before! Thank you for leading us always in the direction of life and wholeness. You two lived the message. Thank you #hop_e for teaching is about family and community. Thank you for your culture of holiness and honor and for bringing us into your family in a loving and seamless transition. Thank you Papa for this trip and the different seeds you have sown in your children. And now we say come spring rain! Douse our seeds, and may they grow and bear good fruit! Sincerely, Amy Smith

Pancakes

The past three days have been pancakes of the goodness of God, cooked with treasure hunts, sprinkled with salvations and healings, and doused in Holy Spirit goodness. People have been getting saved, healed, and encouraged through the words of our testimonies! We spent most of today bringing life to the streets of Durham, and tonight we dove into the river at the Ignite meeting at the HOP (house of prayer). God is good, and, just as we set out to do, we are spreading his love like thick butter on a crispy crumpet ripe for the harvest. :)

Life to Blackpool!

We brought life with us downtown today as we encouraged the people and sought out treasure in more treasure hunts! It is exhilarating experiencing things like this with God, knowing fully that He is good and getting to enjoy being His children and freely giving love away as He freely gives it to us. I eagerly welcomed each step of finding clues and praying for people to receive blessing and healing! Tonight I spoke on UGBs at the Ansdell church, and it was so cool to see people receive freedom from lies they had been believing about themselves. Recognizing His truth and learning to walk in it is like stepping out of a dark freezer and finding that the world outside is in the full bloom of springtime. There were birds in the air, but I never heard them singing. No, I never heard them at all 'til there was You! Ah, until next time, all my friends on the interwebs from different continents, Yours, Amy

The Search for Truth

Wow. Today was powerful. This morning, Chelsea and Shannon shared about forgiveness at two different locations, and in both places people found freedom in forgiveness! The stories we’ve been hearing about people’s journeys are not too peachy, but the beauty of God’s faithfulness reaches into the heart and pulls out pain like a wad of hair clogging the shower drain an preventing it from draining properly. O Papa, you do all things well. After lunch. Chelsea’s group prophesied over different church members for three hours whilst Shannon’s group spread the love with sandwiches and testimonies and the Encounter Cafe. Abbie shared about finding Father, and I shared about my journey in the last two years and God’s unwavering faithfulness. Wow. The word of our testimonies was the spirit of prophecy, and two women were touched very very deeply, in the deepest parts of their hearts where hope and life belong but pain has been festering. We ministered life and wholeness to them. This evening, we joined forces at the Ansdell location, and what started as a small prophecy over a man turned into a three hour conversation about who God is and how much He loves Rob. This guy has been searching for truth, and because he was intrigued after getting such strikingly clear and pertinent prophecies, he stayed and asked us all about God! Danielle even taught him how to journal and hear God’s voice! He was so hungry for truth that by the time we left for the night, we were all buzzing with the excitement of how cool this son is and what a great journey he is starting. More Lord!
