Thank you, thank you, thank you for this year's conference!

My husband, daughter, her husband, our two grandchildren & I were at New Wine LSE. We have been several times before and have always had a great time but this year was different. On our return I wrote about it in my journal, that the week was amazing, which indeed it was, but as I re-read these words I realised that the week was more than this, it was, in the words of a Robin Mark song, 'A place of commanded blessing where brethren in unity dwell a place where anointing oil was flowing where we were called to be one.'

Just wanted to encourage you further with another exciting story! I prayed healing for another friend on Monday evening - she has really low lung capacity so every time she is under the weather which is often she struggles to breath and has to carry around an oxygen tank. She has been on antibiotics for 3 weeks and on Monday she was in so much pain in her back as her lungs are full of fluid. I have prayed for her before but not specifically for healing. I prayed twice rebuking the disease and claiming her for Jesus. The 2nd time she yelped and grabbed her back and felt something move. I spoke to her yesterday morning and she'd been up since 3am feeling fresher than she had in years. 'Like a miracle' she said. She still had a temperature but the pain had gone! God is good! She went off shopping early yesterday morning much to her husband’s amazement as she'd been struggling to to walk the day before. She had to go and get special food for today as it’s the start of Ramadam. They are Muslims. In fact her husband was our GP for years. Praise God for he is mighty to Save! All who call on the name of the Lord will be saved!

Another thank you! And another update. I’ve just read through the notes I took at New Wine LSE. I can see what the Spirit released through the speakers, particularly Will's early morning slot, into my life. The prophecies I received from the ministry teams were just amazing! On the Friday evening Tonia on ministry team in venue 2 (from Reading; would love her to hear this) asked me if I dance? Not really. Well, you’re going to! And the verse she gave me was that of David dancing before the Lord - and I will become even more undignified than this. God got me dancing and laughing my way around the food court and venue 2! And a week later I am still dancing. So the fruit of this just keeps coming. Here are just a few other things that I know of that God has done:

Little Chef on way home from New Wine - was led to pray for lady on next table (not from New Wine)

Led Besom recipient to the Lord (as I mentioned before) - praise God she's coming to church sunday


This isn't just the effects of being drunk after New Wine. The Word transforms us, so we need to move as the Spirit leads, to speak Truth in love.

Today, after Sunday worship back at my own church, I found myself emptying my pockets to one of these Big Issue guys outside the local Sainsbury's. I walked past him on my way into the store, but my heart struggled to allow me to simply cruise past and ignore. When I came back out, I stopped. I had to. He was only young. I asked him his story

He was from Romania, couldn't speak much English and has been in London for one year, and finds it very hard to beg the people of Chiswick to buy one of his Big Issue magazines.
