DYNAMIC WOMANS CONFERENCE 2004

I give God praise and thanks for you and your Ministry Team during our Dynamic Womens Conference in June this year.    Rustenburg will never be the same!  We experienced a shifting that took place in the spiritual realm.   To describe:   it is as if the evil and demonic spirits took note that we are in covenant with God and with each other from all over.  We are standing together in unity and you and Marion stood with us, united together in the Spirit-realm.   You remember the Saturday morning of the conference?    We had great "joyous" breakthroughs!   That morning, we experience from our Church’s side, miraculous breakthroughs in relationships, trust and unity were restored – and praise God, it is still going! 
For myself, I felt like God divinely sent you to us, and I have been set free mightily after 3 year’s of onslaught and persecution in our City and Ministry. I am forever greatful to God for this wonderful connection with you and the opportunity for Dynamic Womens Conference. It is only with time, we will still see the fruit of this conference.    We are still going strong and moving outwards for ministry, but also moving into deeper relationships in our Church.
Pastor Florence and her Praise and Worship leader from Uganda are strong in the Lord.       They were both so blessed by the Conference!   I believe that the conference both launched Pastor Florence into a higher level and dimension of ministering to the people of Uganda.     This was a time for her where God set her up for her purpose and launched her from here.      Ps Florence’s husband Pastor Joseph Kaweesa, listened to the Conference tapes, and was so blessed, he said the women there need to get this.    He expressed his appreciation for the impartation to his wife during the Conference.   
It was such a great honor to have had you with us and for me to get to know you more. I honor you as a great woman of God and you have sown faithfully for many years the Word of God and His love to the people of South Africa and all over the Nations.

Krissy and I arrived in Johannesburg on June 2nd.  Within two hours I was ready for my television interview with CRUX one of the top Christian television programs in South Africa. Andrew Tim my dear friend is directly behind me in the photograph below.

The Beautiful Ladies of PE!

The ladies at WOFCC had been hard at work for weeks preparing for the Conference. The church entrance and stage had been beautifully decorated and everything looked truly amazing!  From the moment the first meeting began, you could feel the tremendous expectation in their hearts to receive EVERYTHING that the Lord had for them.  Pastor Mariana spoke along with Marion and Myself about the value of a Dynamic Unforgettable Woman Of God.  On the Friday night, we honored Pastor Mariana with a Dynamic Womans Award for the fruit that is so evident in her life. We also honored Pastor Jimmy Cromptons mom Cathy Crompton who is 90. What a witness she is of the powerful, redeeming love of God. Avril and Florence were also honored for their work in the community. DWC was able to sow a wonderful seed into a Bakery that will help to feed the poor in the area.  

As the testimonies come in, I will share them with you on this page. One particular testimony is that of a lady that I have known for many years. She has gone through so much of her own personal drama as the years have gone by.  As we began to speak about the 'Goodness of God' and how he wants us ALL healed and well no matter what has happened in our lives and that HE is a LOVING and a FORGIVING FATHER who CARES about our future, she began receiving her release from years and years of pain, heartache and guilt. She began crying and laughing and continued that way for hours!  When we saw her the next day, she came to the Sunday Church Service with her husband. I believe the seeds of a 'New Life' have been planted inside of her and she will NEVER be the same! 

Pastors Mariana and Jimmy were thrilled with the conference and have invited DWC back in the near future.

On Tuesday 8th I was the guest of Jenny Tselentis on her Radio Pulpit program. I was invited to do six teachings on the Unforgettable Woman Of God.

Pastor Ina getting drunk!                            Enjoying the Word

We began the meetings in Rustenburg on Thursday the 10th at Deo Gloria Church.  We stayed at Orion Hotel where I had hosted many of my Rhema Ladies Advances many years before. The memories were sweet of us have tremendous visitations of the Holy Spirit which continued right to today at Deo Gloria!  Marion spoke one night on the woman at the well. How the Lord had said to her that those who would DRINK from the EVERLASTING WELL would NEVER THIRST AGAIN!  She invited them to come and drink! What a time we had with so many tremendous breakthroughs in their lives. Everyone got drunk!  Pastor Ina had the biggest breakthrough in her own life as she began to receive confirmation and revelation of the plan of God for her life and also the church.  The Spirit of God worked throughout the time we were there, challenging and changing lives.  On the Friday night we invited the ladies to bring their men as I would speak to the 'Unforgettable Man Of God'.  It was fantastic to see how many of their men came. We had a great crowd. As I got up to speak man of them with arms folded and fairly narrow eyes were wondering what I had to say to them ... by the end of the evening they were down in the front being prayed for!  I shared with them that a woman more than ever needs to feel valued and appreciated.  I encouraged them that it was not ONLY the diamonds ... but more than ever, it was the kindness and value that felt from their husbands hearts daily. What a time WE had, what a time I had!  We also honored Pastor Ina with a Dynamic Woman's Award along with another precious woman who had been many years in the ministry raising up churches and faithfully serving the body of Christ.  It was also very special to have Sharon Bendixon speak on the Conference with us and what a blessing she was.

  
Pastor Florence from Uganda                   Kirsten Bendixon

Pastor Florence from Uganda travelled all the way to the Conference to join us. She received an advertisement about the conference and we are not sure how she got it!  It was an appointed time for her as she is raising up an orphanage in her area for the many orphaned children.  DWC received an offering for her and I am praying about how to assist her in the near future.

DWC has been invited back to Rustenburg and I know it is in the plan of the Lord for us to return.

Sunday Evening 13th I was blessed to speak at Heritage Church for my dear friends Pastors John and Sharon Bendixon. I saw so many old friends and it touched my heart to hug their necks again.  I spoke on getting the victory on 'Old Battlefields'

On Monday 14th I did a radio interview for Impact Radio in Pretoria which has been the vision of my dear friend Pal Roeberts son Andrew.

JOHANNESBURG
This was going to be a very special day as I felt the LORD had instructed me to do this day on my own and bless the ladies with as much as I could pull out of my heart.  Pastor Mike and Bridgette graciously welcomed the Dynamic Woman's Seminar.  We had a wonderful crowd of ladies, you could sense their hungry for change and encouragement from the Lord.  I did the morning sessions on the 'Unforgettable Woman of God' and in the afternoon I invited my dear friend Gerry Ramaseli to talk about 'Beautiful Woman Of God - Inside and Out!'.  I closed the day by praying for all the ladies. I am truly satisfied in my heart that what was needed was accomplished.

    
Ministering to the ladies                                Pastors John and Sharon Bendixon

On Sunday, I preached for Christian Life Church and Pastor Mike Roscoe. I am truly blessed to have made friends with this precious couple.  They are hungry for God and set a great example of being servants in the Kingdom. Their team were a great blessing to all of us especially Debbie their worship leader.

Needless to say I am humbled at another invitation to CLC for next year.
