June 2007 After attending the Horizon Conference and three weeks ministering in five churches in France we arrived in Zurich, Switzerland May 30th. We are living in a nice flat at the Evangelical Church of God.
They are without a pastor until September and we are allowed to use this nice flat on the second floor.
It is well equipped and we can get whatever we need only two blocks away. We have had three meetings here at this church and have met twice with the Under shepherds we are training for the last four years.
There have been many miracles and two salvations although the meetings have about twelve in attendance each night.
Al has taught on Wisdom for Living in God’s Presence and Signs of His Presence. Billie taught on Confession:the Evidence of Your Faith.
The first night three people were filled with the Holy Spirit and one of them was set free since she had not spoken in her language for five years.
The next night that same lady asked for prayer for a visual problem. Her corneas were flat and she had to wear contacts that made them round so she could see. She will send her testimony later but we wanted to send a report out today. After sixteen years and no hope that any surgery would help she asked for prayer after Billie spoke Saturday night. She had read the book RECEIVE YOUR MIRACLE and seemed full of faith after that sermon on faith.
She came to the meeting without her contacts and had difficulty seeing the music during the worship. Immediately after prayer she saw and screamed as she read from the Miracle book without any help. Praise the Lord. The next day she gave testimony in the church.
A visiting pastor from Frankfurt was filling the pulpit and he supported her testimony with his sermon.
We thank God for this as we asked God for a creative miracle and HE did it. This week we had the third meeting and saw many miracles after Al’s word. The first one was salvation and then that lady received prayer for healing of a skin disease she had since she was six years old (for 45 years).
She was glowing with the presence of God. Others received prayer for varicose veins, migraines and three received correction in their spines. One man had a S curvature of the spine.
There was a visible difference after Al prayed for him. A lovely white haired lady received a creative miracle in a hip replacement and walked without a limp after prayer. Then there was a time of celebration. (See photo) Our hosts Andy and Andrea Dubois have been so special and attentive to our every need.
They live in a flat about two blocks from the church and we have had many times of fellowship together around a meal. Last night Andrea graduated from the university here receiving her Masters of Science in Psychology.
The doors that were closed to us this week end have made it possible for other doors to be open and this week we will attend four meetings where we will have an introduction to some of the leaders and meetings that are occurring in the Zurich area. We know that this is the hand of God and He has already given us a brief word to share. The possibilities are to meet with a Latino group on Sunday at 5pm. Monday at a private home meeting, Tuesday at a meeting of about 200 who are pastors and leaders.
We are told that it is a ‘revival meeting’. On Wednesday we are invited to speak on The Armor of God for about twenty minutes. Pray for us. Our seminar on Warfare is about ten sessions.
But we are thankful for these open doors. May God continue to bless you as you continue to lift up the work here and there as well. We are grateful that once again God has led us to be in Europe while the President of US is here also in meetings. We have been much in prayer for him and the G8 meetings. Thank you for praying for Ben Deck’s passport. It came yesterday and he will join us on 18th. This has taught him to walk by faith – a very important lesson for those in ministry and life itself. Pray for us as we seek God’s wisdom in the subjects we will teach for the next two weeks. We will do a four day seminar this week end from Friday to Monday. Then we go to Altstatten, CH for a week of teaching students in Rechobot Training Center. We will also do a seminar there. God has given us the theme, RISE and SHINE from Isaiah. Much love to all. Enjoy the pictures Blessings, Al and Billie On the field in Switzerland
