Ears and Eyes
Famous as a white-water rafting centre, Trishuli perches on a cliff above the mud- coloured river. But the church is impressive. Completed just 5 years ago, it seats 700, and includes a school, huge dining hall, and multiple facilities. However, we prophesied it will soon be too small! These folk have vision. 550 attended the school of healing, the highlights being team member Keith no longer needing hearing aids, several healed of blind eyes, and a crippled lady who needed help to stand. After a few minutes she began to walk, stumping up and down the platform steps. Only then did the team notice her stick on the floor. She left the church, grinning, with the stick under her arm!The poor and the beautiful
Then we headed for Rara Lake, as beautiful as it is inaccessible. But the Lord graced us with perfect flying weather and four-wheel drives. A two-hour stroll through pine forest brought us to the lakeside camp. At 3,000 metres asl, the temperature dropped to three degrees that night, so we were glad to descend to the centre of Mugu district for the meetings. Gamgadhi is a mountain village and dirt poor. With sickness and bizarre breakages, the spiritual opposition was evident. However, the small church fizzed with faith. Almost 300 crammed into every available corner―passionate, hungry and raw. Some had walked for days. The miracles began at once, and by the end 80% said they’d been healed, including 17 out of 20 we’d called up with bad eyes. And three more team members were healed! For the last session, I taught on the Holy Spirit baptism and all heaven broke loose. After we’d returned to our hotel, the local leaders sat until midnight, so excited were they over all the Lord had done. We trained 800, saw 500 healed, many delivered, and 200 leaders equipped. God is good! Why not join us in November? Probably 31 Oct – 18 May. Email for more info! ----- Ranui Baptist Church, Auckland On Sunday 26th May, John preached the gospel at their morning service. Thirteen came forward to receive Jesus. Later several were healed. Thank you, Lord!
Nepal
Sixteen head to Nepal again in November, this time to hold four Schools of Healing. The next trip is pencilled for 20 February – 9 March, 2020. We don't know how much longer we'll be able to continue these trips. The Lord always said we have a limited window. Don't prevaricate.Books
We received a prophecy in February that, "God is bringing us into a new stanza." I believe it means our focus on books will increase. A stanza is a verse of a poem―same theme, different approach. Books are important; I was saved reading books!Solomon
We've signed a contract with Koehler Books of Virginia Beach for King Solomon's Deadly Legacy, due for release at Easter. It's taken nearly 8 years, but it's a message I believe is critically important for today. Historical fiction, the book is a prophetic warning of the impending dangers of idolatry. Solomon fell, and Israel fell apart. The decline of our morality matches his. Don't we risk the same consequence? Over the coming months I'll share excerpts and stories. Here's how it begins.Seven Seals of the Holy Spirit
Do you want to see the Spirit move in greater power? He is called the seal of our salvation: Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13). Why? When I checked it out, I discovered seven reasons in Scripture. From the seal of righteousness to the seal of authority, each one is essential to help us flow with the Spirit. Every seal deeply affects how we live and move in the Spirit of Jesus. This teaching has the potential to launch you into a new level of power. Excerpt. The full-length book is planned for release at Christmas. Order now! Here is an excerpt: I am tired of boring church meetings! A few songs (some fast, some slow); the notices; the offering (with or without music); communion (sometimes); the sermon; a closing song; a benediction; tea and coffee. For variety, shuffle the deck. I’ve witnessed this from mega-churches in big cities to remote house-groups in the mountains of India. It’s what we do. MoreJune 2019 News

Puran’s school
The school we visited in Nepal in May offers scholarships to students unable to pay. Would you be interested in supporting them? It’s an awesome vision - excellent Christian education in a largely non-Christian area. As it’s private, it brings income for local churches. Contact Puran.Don’t miss

The Renewal weekend at Hope Whangarei drew 60 last Saturday. I spoke on the Spirit of love and his amazing gifts. We saw many healed from bad backs, eyes, and knees. On Sunday, six made decisions for Christ. Praise God! Sylvia had a bad knee. I called her up in front of everyone, and laid hands. After a few moments, I asked, “How is it?” “55% better.” I rebuked the pain, and called others for a knee clinic. Sylvia and I laid hands on them in turn. We found chairs for Pam & Gerry who were waiting. “You two ladies can minister together,” I said. They sat facing each other, and reached forward to the other’s knees. Five minutes later they jumped up, pain free, grabbed each other by the shoulders and danced together around the room! Later, Sylvia said her knee was 100%.

Seven Seals
Those who’ve read it LOVE it.
Several have bought copies for Christmas presents.
We have a few still in stock, so it’s not too late!
A publisher says, “Really beautifully
done and we are already into reading
it. I love your introduction!
Awesome covers, great finish. Your
message is outstanding.”
Our team of 16 taught 1,600 people in 4 schools of healing. We saw hundreds healed of
many diseases - the blind saw, the deaf heard and cripples walked. A flaccid baby began
moving, and many with evil spirits were set free. Praise God!
One team member just emailed: Getting back to church at Mangungu [Northland], I
asked, “Does anyone need healing?” A nine-year-old girl waved vigorously. She’d limped in
with a crutch, her right ankle in bandages. I asked her to the front, laid my hand on her
shoulder, and commanded, “Ankle, be healed in Jesus’ name!” You should have seen the
smile―of surprise, pleasure, and incredulity! I took her by the hand. “Well, let’s walk.” She
walked normally back up the aisle! That’s why we teach healing.
The next team of eleven leaves on 20th February bound for Dailek in the western
hills, and Chisapani and Bangai on the terai. Come to the Nepal Night in Christchurch
on Friday February 14th.

School of Healing at Manukau
The Lord healed over one third of those attending, including Mani, who received a new muscle in her leg; Tim, who’d had a bad knee
for 30 years; and Michelle, healed of a cracked bone in her back. Thank you, Jesus! Check out their stories (sorry about the quality).
Our next Schools of Healing are Opotiki on 8th Feb, and Christchurch on 15 Feb. Come and learn how to heal others.
New churches in Mozambique
Last year, Andrew joined us in Nepal. He then travelled to Mozambique
and taught our school of healing in the church of Pastor Tapiwa
Manera.
The (mainly illiterate) members went to the villages and healed the
sick. They were very excited. Six gave their lives to Christ. A month
later, they opened another church with 27 new members.
Tapiwa recently emailed, “Last week God blessed us with two new
branches in the Province of Zambézia where 167 members gave their
lives to Christ. You taught us an effective evangelism strategy. We are
seeing the hand of the Lord.”

King Solomon’s Deadly Legacy launches at Easter
To be published by Koehler Books, USA (a miracle!) I’ve been working on this for eight years. King Solomon fell into idolatry leaving a legacy of division, invasion, and exile. His life is a red flag, for we in the West are falling for the same distractions. Don’t we risk the same outcomes? A British scientist and atheist meets Solomon through time travel. He is challenged by Israel’s love of the Lord, but his life at home falls apart. While Solomon’s faith declines, the scientist becomes a Christian, alarmed at the threat to our future.Launch Team
Nowadays, authors market their own books, which is where you come in! I want to build a launch team and would love you to join. There’s exclusive launch team pages on our website with news, excerpts, and information. Here’s all I am asking you to do. • Pray • Offer to read an Advanced Reader Copy, or • Pre-order a copy (they’ll be in hardback, paperback, and ebook) • Tell your friends • Review it on Amazon, Good Reads, etc We’ll keep you posted on what to do and when, and how the book is going. Every time I think of a number, the Lord tells me to think bigger. If you’d like to help, email right away, and you’ll be on the team!Opotiki School of Healing
A small but zealous group attended the School of Healing in Opotiki at the weekend. They were straight into the Lord’s presence in worship, and then devoured the teaching, instantly putting it into practice. Hearing improved, back pain disappeared, shoulders were healed, a hernia closed up, and a lady with sore knees jumped for joy, pain-free. By the end, ¾ of the delegates said the Lord had healed them. Praise God! On Sunday, another delegate reported meeting a former friend after the school, who was limping. Their relationship was strained. The Lord prompted the delegate to offer offered healing. Tears flowed, bringing reconciliation. God cares as much about relationships.

Outstanding MIracles in Nepal
I watched this girl’s withered arm grow. Her friends crowded around, as she was well-known in the church. She kept touching her healed hand. This was at our third school of healing. We’d already trained over 1,000 in two schools and seen hundreds more healed. Despite strikes and virus concerns, the Lord found ways for us to continue and we finally trained over 2,000. The local pastors reported that dozens testified to their healing on the Saturday after we left.
Knee Clinic
Just before the lockdown, we sneaked in a weekend teaching on the Holy Spirit in Hawera. Bron was healed when we ministered to each other!The Power of One Conversation
The girl with the Bible is a new believer. Two years ago, a waiter said to one of our team, “I want what you’ve got.” He shared the gospel and led him to Jesus. On this trip he caught up with the waiter. He had since led his brother and sister-in-law to Christ, and between them all have planted two churches. He is even building a new facility in Chitwan!
