Itinerary
England – Bristol
Deon and Beth Viljoen – Lighthouse Church for all Nations.
Thank God for this couple and family Deon, Beth, Joel and Jesse – his hand upon them PE (Storehouse), Jhb, Kampala in Uganda and now Bristol in England – God has a plan and a purpose here.
His prayer requests are:
Mentoring – bringing everyone onto the same page Spiritually.
A greater understanding of the Heart of the Father and dealing with the orphan spirit.
Need for a strong family base – pray for families to join the church.
First apostolic trip to support the church in Swansea next Sunday – pray for God to use them fruitfully and for the church to be gripped by the need to go out – Jesus on the streets.
His business – greater profile, better quality stock and obviously greater turnover.
For ourselves:
Future possibilities – for open doors into the church nearby in Swansea and also in Winchester.
Scotland – Blairgowrie
Eddie and Trina Henderson – Church on the Way
For God to reveal His plans and purposes as mentioned in the prophetic word for myself by Hough Clarke:
“I see a homestead with a small fence around it. It represents restrictions. You know you can jump over it, as it is a low fence, but God’s gonna bring it down. There’s gonna be no boundaries, no limits. There is a new season of greater areas to explore. It is a new beginning and a moving out of your comfort zones. You both seem very relaxed and comfortable as you are sitting there, but God’s gonna stir you both and move you into more. It’s like a car towing something and going around the bends. You are going to see new things and will be going into a new season. This season is bringing you into a new area in the Spiritual. Maybe even geographical. But I see God’s gonna remove the boundaries and limitations.”
For insight, wisdom, timing and financial provision to do what we as a couple and as a church are called to.
Thank God for a wonderful connection with Eddie and Trina, a knitting of hearts and an open door for future apostolic partnering.
Also invited in by the other relating churches in Scotland Malcom and Lyn Iles from Edinburgh and Geoff Finlay from Dundee; also feel that though non-relating the couple leading the AoG church in Blairgowrie – Hamish and Bonnie will probably join us in future meetings.
Pray for effective future apostolic partnerships with these churched to see Scotland saved and discipled.
His prayer requests:
For a strengthening of the “pillars” of the church – for men to rise up as true leaders.
That God would send us labourers to help in the harvest.
We have a need for an anointed worship team.
For a responsiveness in the church for the fresh outpouring of the Spirit.
“Help is on the way!”
Portugal – Porto
Mark and Nati Bouffe – A Ponte (The Bridge)
Prophetic word for A Ponte.
“I saw a picture of the launch of a old style Caravelle ship, with much fanfare and us sending it out with the traditional breaking of a bottle of Champagne! I believe that this refers to a new launching, a new calling, a new commissioning and a new adventure for A Ponte. I also believe that the name change from Refugio to A Ponte was very significant, as the church is now to leave the safe place of the harbour and to set sail as a bridge, connecting people which are seperated by water and distance (the function of both a bridge and a ship).
Those on the ship were the people of A Ponte – all very excited and willing to be a part of the new adventure, while those on the docks, excitedly waiving and seeing/sending you off, were the people of Liberty, Storehouse and Cornerstone – all those who have been blowing wind into your sails over these past years.
The nature/purpose of the ship was for trade – a barter type exchange, entering into partnership as you went along. You carried no trading stock as the wealth you had was the gospel within the people of A Ponte – this is what you gave – a New Testament expression of a gospel of power and freedom in the name of Jesus Christ.
Although the ship did carry weaponry it was not a warship. Yet it could defend itself, (Spiritual warfare.) and everyone on board knew how to use the weapons and fire the cannons affectively.
It was definitely not a cruise liner with some doing all the work and others resting on the pool-deck! It was an “all hands on deck” situation, where everyone had a different task according to their calling and gifting. Great team work was evident, with no comparison or competition amongst the people. There was a great attitude amongst the people with no negativity, grumbling or complaining!
The trade route took you to nearby ports first – initially partnering with known allies. As A Ponte saw the benefit and the wealth (spiritual growth and authority) which this brought about, the route and influence was expanded, crossing oceans and not only rivers – finding new allies and building new partnerships.
Later the ship would let down anchor near land where there was no harbour, letting down smaller boats over the sides, manned by small teams. These would row up rivers and estuaries and establish new trade posts there before returning to the ship.”
Pray for this church to become a catalyst and a base in the Iberian Peninsula.
Pray for the different aspects of this word – a culture of going beyond themselves, faithfulness to their call, a willingness to pay the price.
For the church to become more effective in reaching their own community, being Jesus on the streets – for numerical and financial growth within the church.
Pray for the LTT equip time in early June, for a good number of outside churches to attend – Practical Apostolicity.
Possibility of a new, modern venue down the road from them at possibly even a lower rental.
Spain – Madrid
Juan and Hannelie Escabias
Rejoicing together at her healing and recent “clear bill of health”.
Concerned at the lack of urgency and forward movement regarding a church being planted in the area.
Pray for Nito and Lili a couple that they are looking to start something there, but who have been hurt before – pray for hearts to heal and a call on either Nito or Juan to lead.
What’s on the cards apostolically for the rest of the year?
Namibia 1-4 May – new door for us as a church to explore, come with and we’ll make a road trip of it.
Portugal LTT (Real Apostolicity) and Italian LTT back to back; first 2 weeks of June.
More local: Greenfields church in EL weekend of 13-15 May; Glen Eden church outside of EL 29-31 July.
Where do I fit in as an individual?
Pray, wait on God – what do you sense as you look at the photos and hear the feedback?
Prepare for it practically and prayerfully and come with us to take your apostolic inheritance.
