C H A R I S S A  C R O SS - Recently a dear friend of mine Carol Cross told me about a CD that her daughter Charissa was about to record. I felt in my heart that Lyndie McCauley Ministries had to sow into this project. What a blessing to be a part of a project like this.  The CD was released and I received my person copy delivered by Chariss on August 21 2006. Its a truly great CD and I know you will be blessed by it!    click here to view bio

I believe in the ministry of the young people that God is raising up and Charissa is certainly one of them.  Charissa is in South Africa and available to minister at your church or special meeting. You can also order the CD from Charissa.

What a tremendous time Krissy and I had. We also got to visit with some special friends and on our way back to Virginia we thanked the Lord for the wonderful opportunity to be useful in the Kingdom of God.  

In the following report for July and August you will read an update of my ministry trip to South Africa.
I would like to thank my special friends and partners who support this ministry so faithfully and without whose love , prayers and support, I would not have been able to fulfil this ministry trip.  Thank you!

DYNAMIC WOMEN'S CONFERENCES -  JULY/AUGUST

August

PORT ELIZABETH

Psalm 8:3 & 4
When I view and consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars,
which You have ordained and established, What is man that You are mindful of him,
and the son of (earthborn) man that You care for him?
 

Beautiful Port Elizabeth Bay, South Africa.

This picture speaks Faith and my joy, excitement and anticipation at the opening service in PE.

Faith and I arrived in Port Elizabeth as guests of our hosting church, Word of Faith and Pastor Mariana Crompton. We began on Friday night with a record crowd of ladies and the testimony that the conference has double every year since it began in 2003. The meetings opened with a fantastic flag procession and a group of exuberant ladies just hungry to get into the Word!  
 

The Flag Procession.

 
The ladies and Pastor Mariana worshipping as only she can!

    
Faith preaching away and  ... The Girls!

At every meeting there were ladies down at the front to be ministered to and the altar calls were just wonderful! 
Faith preached on 'Grace like Rain' as a forunner of her soon to be released book and the message truly encourage our hearts. Pastor Mariana preached us into victory and a new breakthrough in our lives.  The message the Lord had stirred in my heart for the ladies was 'Walking in Victory Through Times of Trouble'.   

 
Preaching and Faith and I during a precious time of worhip!

One of the altar calls ... Praise the Lord!

 
Praying for the ladies!

We were blessed to have Faith minister to us in song. On a couple of occasions she joined with the anointed worship team and they lift our times of worship to great heights in the spirit. 

Lynne Nels testimony was powerful and it brought so many truths to light about God's faithfulness and love for us. 
I was invited to preach the Sunday morning service and it was tremendous to see how the church is growing. Pastor Jimmy and Mariana are doing an excellent work in Port Elizabeth.  In the evening Faith did the service and we had a ball! Faith also travelled out to another area of Port Elizabeth to bless another congregation on the Sunday morning.  

I would like to thank Pastor Mariana and her team for hosting an amazing conference! Also a 'big' thank you to the ladies that come each year to receive from the ministry and whom Faith and I have grown to love dearly.  What a blessing and privilege it is to preach the gospel!  

 
Ministering to more ladies and the wonderful ladies of PE ...

Faith, Lynne and I in an inquisitive moment looking at our gifts from Word of Faith!

I do believe that this conference was the most successful yet in Port Elizabeth. Fellowshipping with Pastor Jimmy and Mariana is a great encouragement and blessing.  I believe we left a tremendous deposit in the lives of the ladies that will be an encouragement to them for years to come. 

* Olivia Newton John preaching the gospel!   Yes, it never stops ... I am forever being asked 'You MUST be Olivia'?  The other day I was in the post office and the lady behind the counter shouted out 'Oh my goodness its Olivia'!  Of course I opened my mouth to deny her accusation and when she heard my 'accent' she shouted to all the customers in the ship ....  'I told you it was her'!

July

On Sunday 24th July I spoke at Christian Life Church for my dear friends Pastors Mike and Brigette Roscoe. It is always such a blessing for me to see how their church is doing and their newly opened childrens home. I did get the date wrong on my website and so a number of folks missed the meeting expecting me to be there on Ausut 31st!  Age is a wonderful thing!!


Faith, Lyndie, my dear friend Pal Roebert and Andrew Roebert.

On Friday July 29th I travelled to Pretoria for the beginning of the Dynamic Womans Conference at Charis Church. In the morning Faith and I were invited to do a 2 hour 'live' radio interview with Andrew Roebert, son of Pastor Ed.  Pal came to greet us and made sure that there were plenty of eats for us during the break.  It was wonderful to see her again and she is looking very well and soaring in the Lord! Recently, John Roebert launched a church in Pretoria and within a year they have over 800 attending!  No wonder Pal was full of smiles ... I am sure Pastor Ed must be rejoicing over this in Heaven.

From the interview Faith and I went back to the Hotel in preparation for the first meeting of Dynamic Woman's Conference, Pretoria. 

What a blessing it was to have the Chief of Women's Prisons South Africa, The Chief Prosecutor, the mother of the current Miss South Africa and The Ambassador of Liberia at the Friday evening service.  I was honored to speak at this meeting and sensed a very strong annointing to deliver the message.  What a blessing to see so many folk come to the Lord and for their lives to be touched.  The dignitaries also mentioned how they had been very blessed by the messeage which was title 'When trouble comes'!

Opening service preaching about 'When trouble comes'!

  
Introducing my dear friend Faith. Ministry to a lady.

Faith preaching up a storm!

More ministry to the ladies!

On Saturday we had a very busy day with myself preaching in the first session and Faith following.  In the evening the men were invited and Faith spoke to the ladies and I sopke to the 'Unforgettble Men of God'.  It was a truly powerful day with us praying for so many of the folk and encouraging them to greater things in God.  It was a great blessing to speak over 70 men whose hearts were open to receive the encouraging word.  At the end of the service I prayed for many of them as the 'head of their homes' for wisdom, peace and blessing in all that they put their hands to.  Pastors Andries and Petro were a huge blessing to Faith and I and we left truly blessed that we had done the will of God for these meetings.


Ministering at the 'Unforgettable Mens' meeting

The conference in Pretoria was truly wonderful!  The people were so open and responsive to the ministry and you could sense the hunger in their hearts for more of God as the Word was preached.  This very special church truly blessed Faith and I and we got to stay in the Sheraton Hotel right opposite the Union Buildings in Pretoria.  As I woke up in the morning I looked out of my window and reflected on the history of my precious country ... so many changes!  What a privilege to have been so much a part of it all.

From here Faith travels to Cape Town to be a guest speaker for Pastor Jacques Van De Westhuizen (son of Nicky) at their new church. I believe the church has 500 members after just one year!  www.rwc.org.za  A number of churches are coming together for this evangelistic outreach.  Then Faith will be guest speaker at a ladies tea being hosted by 'Joy' magazine and my friend Erin Georgiou.  I was invited to join Faith for these meetings, but I need some time with my precious family. Next year we are going to Cape Town!! 

The following week we are off to Port Elizabeth where we are being hosted by Pastors Jimmy and Marianna Crompton www.wordoffaith.org.za   Every year that we have had our conference at Word of Faith it has just gotten sweeter and sweeter .... If you live in the area please come and join us.

Faith will travel back to Cape Town to speak at the National Woman's Day on August 9th at Goodhope Christian Center. 
We are blessed to have this precious opportunity and we know that the Lord is going to do Mighty Things for us all!

June
I am blessed to say that I have been invited by many of the local Pastors to host a Bible Fellowship for Pastors wives of this area.  This brings back many 'happy memories' for me, as I something similar in South Africa. I sense the Lord beginning to move me more into the area of ministring to leadership. The first fellowship will be held in July, just prior to my trip to South Africa.

Global Day of Prayer was hosted at The Community Church in Ashburn. How amazing it was to be in a suburb of the USA and see the tremendous impact that the Vision of a South African is having on the world. I was very blessed to participate in the day. Payer is playing a huge roll in our lives today as we walk more and more into the last days!
 
I am thrilled to report that Pastor Ephiel in Zimbabwe recently sent these pictures to report on the tremendous blessing of the water borehole at his church in Harare. The last part of this project is to get the plumbing and tapes. What a blessing to see this up and running and the 'happy faces'! 

* Please consider sowing a seed to the  'Project Oasis' link on the right hand side of this page and make a generous donation to this very precious project. You are welcome to use a credit card and ALL monies will be sent to Pastor Ephiel to complete this project.

May
Tremendous preparations are underway for the National Day of Prayer which is being hosted by Community Prayer Watch in
Loudoun County.  I was invited to lead the congregation in prayer for the Media at the First Baptist Church in Leesburg. What a blessing to participate in such an important event and to meet so many precious men and woman of God in leadership. 
I was also invited to attend a special church service in Springfield VA, where I met with Bishop Bonnen and Bishop Sunter. We are hoping to work together on some ministry events in the future,  as the Lord leads.   I am excited about being on the board of the Loudoun County Alliance as we prepare some very wonderful events for the future in Loudoun. 

On a personal note. Krissy and I are excited about our trip home.  She is also doing very well in her schooling and enjoying her horse riding and modern jazz dance lessons. She travels with me to all my church meetings and is a huge blessing on every occasion.

April
Spring has sprung in Virginia! Krissy and I are amazed by the beautiful blossoms and so we share this pic with you ....

On Friday 7th I organised a Pastors meeting with a number of Pastors in the area to meet with Pastor Rodney Howarde-Brown with a view to setting up a 'Soul Winning and Revival Conference for Northern Virginia. It was a wonderful blessing to have a good number of Pastors come from all over this region who are hungry for a greater anointing in their lives and also a strong desire to be more effective in reaching the lost.  At the end of the service Pastor Rodney prayed for all of us and it was a truly special time for the leadership.

March
This month has been so special. I have been working hard on a Leadership Day that will be hosted by Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne in Manasses at Word of Faith with Barry and Joan Lubbe on April 7th. The spirit of 'Awakening' is about to hit Northern Virginia which is in need of a touch from Heaven. We are excited about this even as it will bring all those who are hungry for more of God's presence in their lives together for a future week of soul winning and revival meetings.

Plans for the the DWC in South Africa are well underway and I am blessed to mention that Faith and I will be speaking at the Women's Conference at Crystal Ministries again this year. However this time, Faith and I will be guests on Pastor Joans conference which is a great blessing to me and relieving me of much organizing! 

This week I launched the 'projects' page of LMM. On this page, I will introduce various projects that need urgent attention from those who are willing to help. My heart is terribly burdoned (light one I hope) to help these precious Pastors, who labour under very difficult circumstances. Will you help me?  As each project is complete I will post the news on this page. Each project will not require huge amounts but its the smaller ones that will help to get them complete.

Well ...  I celebrated my birthday yesterday on the 29th. What an amazing birthday I had!  I woke up to scrambled eggs, sausages, tea and toast set at the table, a huge banner saying 'Happy Birthday MOM'  and a beautiful hand made birthday card, who could ask for more?  I was able to speak to most members of my family and I received dozens of birthday greetings on the phone and by e mail.  What a blessing it is to have special friends and family that love and care for you.

A special treat was a party I was given on Sunday night at my friends Bill and Beth LaRock. I have been working with Bill for a couple of months now and also be assisting them administratively with the launch of their church One Hope.  I was so thrilled to see my dear friends Joan and Carol Flack (Mundy) there. Carol who has been a special friend in my life for over 25 years has come to the US to assist with the worship team at Word of Life.  Carol was Music Director at Rhema South Africa for over 25 years.  Needless to say, I came home from the party with the biggest chocolate cake you have ever seen!  I would like to thank all my friends and partners for the beautiful greetings!  Last year I celebrated my birthday in the Ukrain and I would like to be back there in 2007.   I would like to share the following card I received yesterday with you ...    

  
Celebrating with Krissy!   A special birthday card. 

Dear Lyndie,

Warm-warm greetings for your birthday. On this special day we want to say once again how much you mean to everyone of us. A year passed since the time when we first met, but we can't stop thinking about you... That week that we spent together last year totally changed our lives as you showed us a true love and care of our Heavenly Father. You showed us Jesus... From that time you are always in our hearts and our prayers... And day by day we love and miss you more and more. Tomorrow starts our 12th anniversary, but me and my mum (and dad as well) feel that we miss a thing. We miss you as you became a part of our family... We hope to see you soon again and thank God that He gave us an opportunity to meet you. Remember, you are a treasure in His eyes, you are His beloved daughter. Let God guide your every step and give you strength to overcome every obstical in your life!!!

Much-much love,
Marina, Natasha, Valera
 

February
It has been a great pleasure for me to visit and develop relationships with the Pastors in Loudoun County and to experience the strength that lies in unity.

I have also had some very proud moments attending Pastors Barry and Joan Lubbe's church in Manasses, Virginia. About 15 years ago Rhema South Africa blessed them and sent them out to birth this church, and now Krissy and I attend regularly!    

On the 23 - 26 I was invited to celebrate the 40th Year Celebration of Mike Murdock Ministries in Denton, Texas.  Dr. Murdock has become a very dear friend of mine and to see the tremendous accomplishments and the fruit of his ministry is absolutely wonderful!  Millions of lives have been empowered by his teaching on 'Widsom Keys' .  Needless to say, this is not the only messages he has faithfully preached around the world.  Next month he will celebrate his 60th birthday and I am very blessed to be a part of the celebration also!  

 
With my dear friend Dr. Murdock

While I was in Texas, again I was stirred in the spirit with regard to the vision I have in my heart to help the poorer churches in Africa.  One mealtime, I sat next to a Pastor from the USA and I shared the birthing of this vision with him. He leapt out of his seat shouting ...  'But that is what I have in my heart for my church to do, and I don't know where to start' !  This is where I come into the picture ... This is MY HEARTBEAT!  

I share this with you only to ask you to please pray for me.  I need favor, wisdom and strategy for this vision.  I also need the Father to put me in contact with the churches in the US who are called to this parnership... the rest will fall into place! 

On the night I returned from Texas my phone rang and it was my dear friend, Pastor Ephiel Mukamuri from Harare, Zimbabwe (archives July 2005),  .. how timeous!  He shared how the drinking water in Harare had recently been condemned, and how people were getting very sick and some are even dying from drinking it.  I asked him what he felt he could do about it and he shared how he had already sunk a borehole and all he now needed was a fibreglass tank and some plumbing. This would allow his church to supply the whole community of over 1000 people, with drinking water! ... How spiritually significant? 

 
The borehole in progress.  Pastor Ephiel and Elna Mukamuri of Rhema-Logos Church Harare, Zimbabwe

I could NOT ignore this need? I told him, I would get the money for the tank and plumbing. Immediately I began to call some of my precious friends and the second call I made to my friend Faith Frederick of Faith Christian University in Orlando,  met the need!  ... Ephiel has his tank and all the plumbing he needs! Praise the Lord!  How hard was that? 

 
Faith                          Pastor Ephiel on the left and the water tank!

I thank my dear friend Faith for hearing the need and obeying the Holy Spirit. I know the Lord will bless the University for the seed they have sown and thousands of people will get drinking water from the tank.

I am going to make some changes to the website. I will add a paypal page for the folks who would like to help me with these special projects.  I will also add a page with links to the ministries I am working with.  

Thank you for praying for me and thank you for feeling the heart of the vision that is set before me, I am excited but feel inadequate when I see the tremendous needs, thank goodness my Father is the provider!  

January
Its wonderful to start a New Year!  I thank the Lord for 'Januaries' and the fact that we can close the pages of the 'old' and begin afresh with the 'new!

Our move to Virginia has opened fresh doors for me with regard to ministry. I mentioned previously that I was invited onto the Board of the Virginia Church Alliance which is a fellowship of over 30 Pastors in Covenant in the County, and the fellowship continues to grow.  I was also appointed as Managing Editor of Covenant Today Christian Newspaper.  Please visit the website and you will be able to read our current issue:   www.covenanttoday.org  

Working together with the Loudoun County Church Alliance has opened new doors for me and I am honored and blessed for this ministry opportunity.  The ladies of Loudoun County are excited as we begin to plan our first Dynamic Woman's Conference for September. 

Plans are underway for the Dynamic Woman's Conferences in South Africa with Pretoria being on our schedule for the first time.

Krissy continues to do exceedingly well at school, she obtained her second Honor Roll Award which makes it two in a row!  What a girl!  This year she will become a teenager!

When I visited Africa this past year, the Lord began to stir the desire in my heart to work more closely with Africa.  It has taken a couple of months to find a way through for this vision, as it is bigger than I imagined!  I believe that in the next couple of weeks strategy and clarity will come to accomplish this burning desire which is now fast becomming, my passion in ministry.
