Report #3 from LUcena City

Greetings From Lucena City this hot, sticky THursday morning!!

 It is Thursday morning here in Lucena.  Yesterday we finished our second day of the conference and ended up with about 210 attendees.  P Sharon taught on a Passion for Leadership in the morning session.  I taught the first session in the afternoon on Passion for Serviing ( a teaching of the armorbearer) and then P Sharon concluded the day with Passion for Miracles.  We had a rally strong time of ministry at the end of the day and the presence of the Lord was so powerful.  They people are so grateful for the touch of God in their lives. 
 
P Sharon listens to the Holy Spirit as to how to bless various people that come across our path.  Yesterday she felt led to bless the Pastor of Jane's main mother church with some office furniture.  You would have thought he had won the lottery!!!  He and his wife were incredibly touched by the blessing.  The day before, as P Sharon was reaching out to touch a pastor for prayer, the Holy Spirit told her to take an offering for him.  The people responded very generously and knew that the seeds of finance they were planting into his ministry would bring great harvest both to his work and to their kingdom labor as well.
 
a is so fun and fulfilling to minister with spiritual understanding, knowing that God is hitting specific details and needs in the peoples' lives.  As we have been flowing in the prophetic, in prophetic worship and prayer, God has been individually reaching into the lives and hearts of the people and truly healing and delivering them.  It has been a deep, strong move of the holy spirit here so far.  Thank you for your prayer support and continued financial support.  We are seeing God do some incredible things here.  Today is a day of ministry just to all the pastors and leaders of Jane's ministry.  Please pray for wisdom and understanding, and a strong sharp anointing to speak to the issues they are dealing with in her organization.  We really need the mind of God in the things that must be addressed in the next couple days.
 
It's hot here too.  Have I mentioned that?  I know, not fair to say that when you are having a very cool fall -- or has it just plain turned to winter there now???   hahahahaha  Anyway, today is a ministry day with no air conditioning, so P Sharon needs some special grace on her.  You know how she is about the heat!  : )
 
Pastor Maddaline Norfleet also met up with us last night about 5 p.m.  She will now be with us for the rest of the trip.  She wants to get a feel for the Philippine people and what the needs are here for ministry and assistance.  She's a real trooper and fits in great with the "mission life" we face.  Like this morning, when we woke up we couldn't get the light to go on in the room -- the same light that she turned off at the switch when we went to bed.  : )  yep, you never know if it will work or not, lots of "suddenlies" that keep things real interesting every day.  This hotel we are in is called the Diamond Resort "a touch of luxury" subtitle -- yeah, a real "gem"  hahahahahahaha!    The term "luxury" is open to interpretation I believe.
 
Well, goodbye for now.  I am typing this again around 7 a.m., having been up for a good two hours at least.  But I FINALLY had a good full night of sleep last night -- yes, and we are about 2/3 done with the trip!  oh well, there will be time to rest in my future!
 
Again, thanks for all the prayers and finances to make this outreach possible.  We TRULY appreciate it!
 
P Sharon, Nola, and Maddaline
