Objective

Every person has a vital need to experience love which is unconditional and unselfish. God, our Father, is the only one totally able to fulfill that longing. He created us for love. This school aims to bring you revelation of the Father so that the foundation of His love can be firmly in place. This forms the basis for a deepening intimacy with Him.
If you want to encounter the Father, and gain fresh revelation, this school is for you. If you are a leader or in ministry you will find this course refreshing and empowering.

The last few months have seen us visit several countries including Ukraine, Israel and Russia.

January

At the beginning of January, we had the opportunity to return to Kirovograd, Ukraine where David and Joy Saunders led a team of young people to minister at a youth conference. In was a great time resting in God's presence and teaching the youth about the love of their heavenly Father. It was also an excellent opportunity to catch up with old friends and make new ones! We were pleasantly surprised to meet two groups from Moscow and St. Petersburg in Russia who had travelled a long distance to be there.

The rest of the month of January passed in a blur of excitement and activity as we prepared for, then celebrated the wedding of our daughter Sarah to Ben Jackson. We had such a brill day and felt the incredible presence of the Father hovering over it all. Of course we are biased, but we think she was the most beautiful bride ever!

February

In February we spent some time recovering from the wedding....and ministering locally.

March

The conference in Ukraine in January gave us the opportunity to connect with some young people in Russia who invited us to speak at a Youth conference in Moscow in early March where the presence of God was strong and we saw some amazing heart healing take place. We were also privileged to meet with several different groups who have a deep longing to know the Father's love.

In March, it was so good to be at Naomi's wedding in Ashdod, Israel. For the last 10 years Naomi has played a big part in our ministry in Russia in being an amazing interpreter, organiser, travel companion on trains, planes and automobiles and developing her own ability to minister to many recovering from drug and family abuse. We will miss her so much and want to honour the self sacrifice and commitment she has displayed at many levels. We had a lovely time at her wedding and are excited about her new life in Israel with Igor.

We had the opportunity to visit various other places in Israel which brought the reality of Jesus who lived, ministered, died and rose again into clear focus.

Looking forward

The months ahead involve considerable travel to various nations (take a look at our itinerary page) - we are more than ever convinced of the desperate need of an ongoing encounter with the Father and His awesome love. His longing to Father us is as undiminished as ever.

We really want you all to know how much we have appreciated your prayer support during ‘08. It was a demanding year, but because of the way you have prayed we saw so much good stuff happen in the lives of many people around the nations. Some of you have also given financial support which we also appreciate so much. It has enabled us to pay for conferences around the nations. We have been constantly in awe how the Father has provided for us, at all times faithful to His word.

The Philippine trip was amazing (these superlatives sometimes seem hollow but how else can we express the sense that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit were with us, doing things that were totally beyond our ability or competence). In each of the 4 locations we really saw transformations, and especially with the 40 students in Camiling. These lovely young men and women who are so passionate and sacrificial for God, had truly startling encounters with the Father, most of them sobbed helplessly for a long time during or at the end of each session....and Faith and I had the privilege of hugging them as they cried and dribbled over us !!! Most of them had a view of God which was as a distant, demanding and angry Father. We wish you could all have seen them get totally unstitched by His incredible love and compassion for them. In Baguio City, we have had several text messages to say that the following 2 Sundays after our visit was taken up by testimonies of what God had done. Pastor Gomez has asked us to return in October ‘09 when he will ask all the graduates of previous years to come for a week’s refresher with the Father. We already feel excited at the prospect. Thanks again for praying !!!


Please pray with us as we seek to determine our plans for the coming year. We have a number of planned foreign visits, and also some UK locations. However we sense that the Father is going to open new doors for us in unexpected places.

Lots of love,
David and Faith.

     We also made a really good connection with Dick and Arleen and their leadership team.   They have a vision for the inner city and know God has placed them there as a lighthouse to Amsterdam.  We loved the prayer, intercessory and prophetic gifting we saw in evidence,  and delighted to be prayed and prophesied over before we left.   We believe we will be going back there in the future. 

Hi there, amazing friends. !! Thanks so much for praying for us whilst we were in Sri Lanka. We had such a good time in 3 different locations, Galle, Nuwara Eliya, and Trincomalee. For a variety of reasons including tsunami, war and persecution, the Christians have had a tough time in recent years. The impact of our seminars was so encouraging, because many of them had a firm belief in the Father but no encounter of the reality of His love hitting their hearts. The Holy Spirit graciously came and touched so many of them… At each place the testimonies after only 2 days were of broken hearts being healed by His love, or the reality of having a Father who loves them and experiencing Him come to them was awesome. We feel more and more like little children with our hands in the Father’s big hand watching Him do the stuff. We also felt the tangible prayer support you have given us. In the 3rd location ( recently ‘liberated’ by the Sri Lankan army from the Tamil Tigers) there was strong military presence with heavily armed soldiers in the streets every 50m, lots of check points, quite a few UN 4×4’s around, a few bodies found in the street and other indicators of tension and fear. However we felt totally protected and free from fear. The believers there are amazing, please pray for them. They live with every insecurity possible yet see answers of the remarkable provision of God.

Russia May 2008

Faith and I first visited Krasnoarmisk, near Moscow, where a bunch of our friends live. We had a great 2 days with them, renewing fellowship and discovering again their desire to pray and support us for the school we were about to do in Blagoveschensk. On Saturday 17th we returned to the airport and met with the team….or most of them!! Dave Richards (just returned from New Zealand), Michelle from Matlock on her first visit to Russia, Clive Garrett (vicar of St John’s, Bath, also a first timer), Joy Saunders( a veteran) and, of course Naomi Griffiths. Brigiite Stieper from Denmark joined us a little later than planned due to flight difficulties !! And on we flew to Blago’ in the far east of Russia, a great city whose river borders China.
We were housed along with 94 students of the school in a sanatorium in a pine forest. The students came from a wide area, some travelling by train for 36 hours to get there. We were so pleased to be working with the Good News Church and Bishop Anatoly along with his team of administrators and musicians. Wow the worship was wild from the start, such enthusiasm is infectious, even if you are singing in tongues cos you don’t speak Russian too well.
The 10 day school was an amazing success. All of them were open to receive the Father’s Love and deal with any and every heart issue that would stop them. They prayed through various blockages with such enthusiasm. It was amazing to see them stepping into more and more personal freedom, and for many their faces literally changed during the 10 days. It seems that there is much to be gained from a 10 day school. It helps to tip people over the edge into a heart transformation which affects their whole way of relating to God. Also it makes it harder for them to slip back into the old ways when they return home.
We felt there was quite a lot of opposition in the invisible realm to the school, and, in fact, had to pray as a team quite a few times to demolish strongholds that threatened to stop the flow. Various members of the team had infections or got very tired with 5 sessions per day. However the Holy Spirit was amazing…the presence of God became stronger and stronger. The fire tunnels were so powerful. We wish you could all have heard the testimonies just before graduation. There was a rush to the front, and one after another gave such moving accounts of what had happened to them in life’s experience and how the Father had come to their rescue.
The team did a great job, especially Naomi who had to do most of the interpretation. Her voice just about held together until the very last meeting, and we were thankful to have the help of Sasha and Galya, two young people from the church. So we give honour to the Father for his presence and powerful help.
