Precious Friend,                                     

Krissy and I would like to wish our friends a …            

Blessed Christmas and a truly Wonderful New Year!

It has been a special year for us as we have followed the will of God for our lives. Expressing our gratitude in simple words is very difficult as our Heavenly Father has been so good to us and we have felt the strength of HIS HAND upon our lives as we have continued to walk by faith in everything we do.

On the personal side; Krissy and I relocated to Virginia where I was invited on the board of the Loudoun County Alliance which is a fellowship of over 30 churches from all denominations. They have also launched a Christian newspaper called Covenant Today of which I have been appointed,  Managing Editor. I shall be spearheading the ministry to ladies in the county and we are praying about our first Dynamic Woman's Conference here in 2006. This as you know is a big part of my heart and I am looking forward to what the New Year holds for us.

Krissy has excelled at school even with the relocation! The education level in Virginia is one of the highest in the USA. After only six weeks at the school of over 2000 children she was picked as one of the Principal’s Dozen, an Honor Student Award.  She also earned straight A’s in all her subjects. Not only has this been a tremendous blessing to me, but she continues to grow in the Lord and is becoming a beautiful young woman of God who walks intimately with her Heavenly Father. She is a HUGE blessing in my life and I am so proud of her. 

With regards to my personal life; with this transition I asked the Lord to open a door for me to be more financially productive. I was offered a position in a secular 26 year old company owned by very committed Christians, so I accepted the position. This has been a great help to me even though my first love and calling is ministry.  I do feel this will be a short season as I walk by faith trusting the Lord.

I would like to mention that Pastors Rodney and Adonica Howard-Browne have been a great blessing to Krissy and I. Over the years they have ministered richly into my life not only in supporting Lyndie McCauley Ministries financially but also by being the most wonderful friends. They have fully supported our relocation to Virginia and we shall remain in close contact.   

With Regards to Ministry, this year has been amazing!  The Dynamic Woman’s Conferences in South Africa were the most successful yet. I was joined by two dear friends of mine Faith Fredrick and Kathy Bichsel as we ministered in Johannesburg South with Crystal Ministries, PE with Word of Faith and in Johannesburg with Christian Life Church.  I also had the privilege of visiting Zambia, Zimbabwe, Ukraine, UK.  It was pretty hectic year but the blessings were overwhelming. 

With all this in mind, please would you continue to pray for me?  I believe strongly in prayer cover and I know it is because of your prayers that I have been able to follow the will of God for my life this past year.  I am blessed to announce that in 2006 DWC has been invited back to PE, Johannesburg and for the first time to Pretoria. 

On a sad note, my mom of 81 years was attacked in her home by two men on October 4^th. It is only by the Grace of our Heavenly Father that she survived this attack. With her amazing character and personality she has bounced back tremendously! I trust the Lord for wisdom in what to do in this regard.

Finally, I would like to ‘Thank You’ for being a special friend in my life and another ‘Thank You‘, for lifting Krissy and I up in your prayers which has been a GREAT encouragement to us these past years.

For the Partners that have faithfully supported Lyndie McCauley Ministries financially, I am so very grateful and blessed that you have stood with me through some very challenging times. You have assisted me greatly in obeying the call on my life this year as I preached the ‘Good News’ on four major continents and hosted four Dynamic Woman’s Conferences in South Africa. I have prayed and asked the Lord to greatly multiply your seed, beyond your wildest dreams! So look out for a special blessing this coming year … I am trusting for great increase for you!

I pray that your life will continue to be deeply enriched by HIS WONDERFUL PRESENCE, and that you will stop at nothing when it comes to serving HIM.  You are special and the Father Loves you!  HE WILL LIFT YOU UP as you WALK with HIM…

All our LOVE always!

October
It was quite a challenge but Krissy and I found the most wonderful townhouse and settled in very nicely. She has begun 6th grade and was placed in 'Academy' for all her subjects. That means that she is doing 7th grade in 6th grade! 
On the 13th I left for the ladies conference in the UK at City Gates Church with Julia and Steve Derbyshire. What an amazing time of ministry we had. It was wonderful!  One special blessing that I specially noticed is that on the Saturday we had three sisters come down to the altar together to give their lives to the Lord and then at the Sunday Church service we had another three sisters come to the Lord!  It was amazing!  The ladies were like giant sponges soaking up all that the Spirit of God had for them and their lives were challenged to greater things in God. What a blessing it was to see Steve and Valvita Thompson and a number of other special friends.

Back in the US, I began work with Jack Stagman on the Covenant Today newspaper along with some other special projects.  I have also begun to visit churches in the area and met some wonderul Pastors.

To share a challenge I had with my family. My mother was attacked in her home by two robbers in broad daylight. They tied her up and hurt her pretty badly physically. But my mom being the special woman that she is managed to come through on top of it all and she says she now lives in Fort Knox as we have had to put electrical fencing all around her property.  The joys of living in the 21st Century!   I would ask you to please pray for her.

I can hardly believe that it will soon be Christimas.

 

Sept

After a very hectic three months, it was good to take some time to relax.  It was about this time that I received a call from a friend of mine in Virginia who is actively involved in Loudon County church life. He had just launched Covenant Today a Christian newspaper that has 30 churches from all denominations in partnership with the paper and he felt I would be the right person to be Managing Editor. At the same time I was offered a position with a Christian Businessman in the Loudon County as his PA and Client Liaison Officer for his company.  That means I would be involved in both projects. Krissy and I both felt this was the next step for us and besides we just love the snow!  We began to pack our bags once again.. and the move to Virginia was underway.   

August

Orlando - The Gathering Place   On August the 27th I was invited by Pastor Sammy Hinn to speak to the ladies in an all day Dynamic Woman Seminar.  Krissy traveled with me and we stayed with Faith and her husband Bud in their lakeside home.  Faith accompanied me and when we arrived you could feel the excitement in the air, the ladies were beside themselves about the day that layed ahead.  I spoke about being Women of Passion and it was fantastic how the ladies were pulling so many areas of ministry out of me, I was blessed!  At the end of the day Faith helped me and we anointed them all with oil and prayed for breakthroughs in  their lives.  Pastor Sammy is one of the sweetest Pastors that I have met and I teased him saying he was the best of the Hinn brothers!!

JHB - Crystal Ministries  Kathy finally arrived in Johannesburg on Monday the 1st, with a grin of victory on her face!  We had also arrived back in Jhb from PE. We decided to take the week off to relax and Kathy, her daughter Alexa, and I went to Sun City for a break while Faith and Anita traveled to Zambia to the Victoria Falls. We began DWC at Crystal Ministries on Saturday August 6th, with powerful meetings. Kathy launched the conference with a powerful message and you can imagine how she was chomping at the bit after sitting in Virginia for 5 days!  Pastor Joan Hendricks followed and she was on 'fire'!  We knew we were in for a conference with a difference.  I opened the conference on the Saturday evening with a message to the women of discipline, strength and courage in God for the road that lies ahead.  The Praise and Worship was astounding and we broke through on the first day into a tremendous flow of the Spirit.


Crystal Ministries new facility

The church was alive with expectancy as we went into the Sunday services. I spoke to the 'Unforgettable Men of God' in the first morning service and Kathy did the evening, we were flowing so strongly together in the Holy Spirit that lives were being transformed before our eyes.  Kathy called all those not baptised in the Holy Spirit and dozens of folks came down and were INSTANTLY FILLED to overflowing and spoke with other tongues!  Pastor Carl was thrilled and he exhorted the men to ATTEND THE WOMAN'S CONFERENCE!  What a shocker this was for us, but we KNEW HE WAS HAPPY!   On Monday morning, Angelique Du Toit spoke encouraging the ladies regarding their self-esteem and confidence and then Anita Bing deposited tremendous wisdom in their hearts. In the evening we honored Joan Hendricks, Pascaline Zondo, Mary Lodewyk and my wonderful mother Freda Trehair with a Dynamic Woman's Award for living exemplary lives as Proverbs 31 women. Dr Faith then preached and the place was shaken!  On Tuesday I had invited Pastor Carl to speak about 'What a Man needs in a Woman' .. he went to places that few would dare tread!  I closed the conference on Woman's Day with a Word from God about saying 'Yes' to God and standing strong and NOT WAVERING!

This has to be one of the MOST POWERFUL conferences I have ever been blessed to be a part of. Every day people were being saved and lives were changing, it was fantastic!  Ladies traveled long distances to be a part of the Dynamic Woman's Conference.

A beautiful group of ladies dressed in traditional outfits. Can you spot me?
Pastor Joan and Carl are on my right. I have ordered my outfit!

PE - Faith, Anita and I left for PE on Wednesday 27th for the DWC conference at Word of Faith with Pastor Mariana Crompton.  Last year was a tremendous year and it was great to be back in PE.  We had only one problem ... Kathy Bichsel had gotten stuck in Washington in the South African Airways strike. We kept encouraging her to come and she was determined not to let the enemy have the victory. Her intercessors were praying!



Here we are outside of Word of Faith Church standing in front of the billboard!

I openened the conference on Thursday night to a group of very excited ladies,  it was tremendous! We rejoiced and sang and the music team were in top gear, you could feel the anointing in the air!  There was a wonderful response and the ladies yielded to the ministry. Because of Kathy's delay in getting to SA, Faith and Anita took the extra meetings. Anita preached and blessed us out of our socks then Faith got us dancing and praising God and overwhelmed us by the powerful message of standing strong at all times!  Mariana Crompton spoke and each meeting got stronger than the one before .. it was fantastic!  I was blessed to give out three Dynamic Woman's Awards to Susan Cronje, Anika Millhouse, and Rosemary De Vos. All these ladies are truly DYNAMIC and doing amazing things for God.

On Sunday Faith, Anita and I preached in different churches and everyone received abundantly from the Lord.

CLC JHB  On Friday the 22nd I began the DWC meetings at Christian Life Church. It was the first time that I had added the extra day. Faith and Anita arrived in the morning from the USA and so I decided to host the Friday myslef. It was tremendous to see so many familiar faces and the ladies were encouraged, blessed and challenged as I spoke about being PASSIONATE about GOD in your life and GIVING HIM ALL THE GLORY in EVERYTHING you do. In the evening I prayed for all of the ladies present for strength and courage for the future. On Saturday, Anita Bing spoke for the first time on Desiring God in your life which lifted out hearts and then Faith Fredrick shared her powerful testimony of how God had restored her life from tremendous challenges. How it is vital that we do not let the devil take us off the road as that is his primary purpose to take us out!  We NEED to walk with God through the good times and the bad times .. being strong in HIM!  I closed the conference speaking about the need for us as women to have courage and to use our spiritual weapons, to pray and rebuke the devil and to give God the glory for the victory! I also spoke in the Sunday morning service and was blessed by the tremendous response of the people.

Sebokeng - I was blessed to be invited back by Pastor Steven and Pascaline Zondo to speak again in the Sunday 10.00am service. I was happy as I love this church and want to find a way to help them build the building that is desperately needed.  My interpreter was fantastic and flowed right along with me. My mom accompanied me and we had the most wonderful time celebrating our lives 'in Jesus' with Living Waters Church.  Many folks responded to the altar call and many were prayed for as we ministered to them. What a time and what a service .. Africa!

UK - I left for the UK on Tuesday 12th in preparation for the Lady Wisdom, Madam Insight and Princess Truth Conference being hosted by Marion Myers at The River Church in Exeter. I have come to love Michael and Marion Myers and the tremendous excellence by which they run their church and ministry. 

 
                       Ministering to the beautiful ladies of Exeter! !

I spoke in the opening night service on Thursday to the women and challenged them to be the women God had called them to be.  Friday mornings meeting we flowed with the theme and Marion spoke powerfully in the evening service. We had a special brunch for the 'Unforgettable Men' on the Saturday which was a great success. The church had opened its new restraunt and this meeting was the first to be hosted there. I was blessed by the help of the Holy Spirit in this ministry time and so many men were encouraged to make some serious changes in their lives. Pastor Michael particularly was very excited and said he had not heard teaching like this before, Praise the Lord! On Saturday night we ministered to the ladies and anointed them with oil, it was a precious time for us all. I preached the Sunday morning service and so enjoyed my time at The River Church in Exeter.


My dear friend Marion.

ZIMBABWE
My trip to Zimbabwe was challenged when my family did not want me to go as they had heard about the thousands of homes that had been demolished by the Zimbabwean authorities who were saying the houses were illegal. After prayer I decided to go as I had given Pastors Ephiel and Elna Mukamuri of Logos-Rhema Church my word.  They were thrilled to see me at the airport as they had been waiting for my trip for a long time.  It was quite something to hear from these precious folks how their members houses had been destroyed along with most of their belongings. I learned that their homes could NOT be illegal as they had a legal electric supply so it did not make sense? 
The meetings were wonderful, I had prepared my heart, as Pastor had told me that I would be teaching in a NUMBER of meetings he had prepared, 7 in all!   I ministered to the Men, Ladies, Leadership and the church in general.  I have never been so deeply touched by the praise and confessions of a church as I was with this church. They worshipped out of their struggle ... their focus so completely on praising their God with all their hearts!  It blessed me and I cried so much!  In the Sunday morning service in particular, I was led to pray for all those who had recently lost their houses, 15 people came forward for prayer, and many came forward to receive Christ. How rewarding and how uplifting!   I KNOW that this time in AFRICA is challenging me to find a way to raise support for ministries in these kinds of situations. We need to work together as the Body of Christ and truly help one another.  These are two of the most precious people  in the Kingdom of God.

The Lord continues to bless my life beyond measure.  My trip to New Jersey was outstanding!  Meeting Kathy Bichsel for the first time was truly a 'God Appointment'. We began the conference on the Friday evening with my dear friend Rhonda Moore also a Rhema Grad, flowing in the Holy Ghost.  Saturday morning, it was my time of ministry and I spoke to the Amazing, Unforgettable Women of God!   The ladies were so hungry,  and I could feel the pull on the Spirit for ministry. We had such a time!  From the moment that I met Kathy I knew she was the one that needed to come to South Africa as my guest to speak on the Dynamic Woman's Conferences to be held in Port Elizabeth and Johannesburg South.  When I invited her she stood looking at me .. 'shocked'!  I could not figure out what was wrong and then she blurted out that just two weeks before she had received a prophecy that she would speak on a Woman's Conference oversees to THOUSANDS of women!  Kathy told me that she laughed as she did not know one person doing conferences of such a nature!  Well then .. you can imagine .. here I come!    I KNOW THIS IS A DIVINE APPOINTMENT for the ladies of South Africa .. just as meeting Kathy was a divine appointment for me.  

We closed out the conference on the Sunday morning with me speaking to the 'Unforgettable Men of God '. I am amazed at how the Lord is increasing this anointing on my life and its always a blessing to see the tears!  At the end of the service I ministered to most of the people in the service but especially to couples and to the men. I believe that the Lord is going to use me more and more in this area of ministry in the future.  
 
 

This past week I was invited to join Pastor Sunday Adelaja for the Wednesday night service at Sammy Hinn's (Benny's brother) church in Orlando. It was tremendous to hear the powerful meesage Pastor Sunday spoke about 'Does God respect you?'.  It was a challenging message.  After the service Krissy and I were invited to join Pastor Sammy and Sunday for dinner. Pastor Sammy has invited me to do a women's conference in his church on my return from South Africa in August.

The following day I attended the 5 5 5 Conference hosted by Joshua Fowler encouraging leadership to come together and pray and seek the face of God.

April
Work continues to move ahead for the conferences in South Africa. I am very excited about this time and I believe that we will have a very glorious visititation of the Lord in these meetings.

At the end of the month I travel to New Jersey to speak in a ladies conference for Kathy Bixel.  Kathy is a powerful intercessor.  Many years ago as Kathy was praying she began to call out the name 'Lyndie'. She could sense tremendous urgency as she prayed and it took a long while before she felt a release that everything was going to be OK for this 'Lyndie'!  The next day she shared her experience with her pastor, Dave Demola.  When Pastor Dave heard my name he picked up the phone and immediately called South Africa only to find out that the previous day I had been violently attacked on the stage at Rhema!  I truly believe that Kathy stood in the gap for my protection.  For many years,  I have wanted to meet Kathy and I look forward to my trip to New Jersey at the end of the month.  

On the 4th of April, I returned to the USA from a life changing trip to the Ukraine. I know that my life will NEVER be the same!
When I arrived at the airport I was met by two wonderful young people, Marina whose family was hosting me for the duration of my stay and Kiril my driver!  Fortunately, both of them spoke fairly good English but we did have many laughs about it.  Kiril kept asking me  'Vo't you von't?  You von't eat, you von't drive .. what you von't?

On March the 28th and 29th (my birthday) I spoke to the Apostlic Leadership Conference for the Ukrain hosted by Pastor Vittoria.
There were over 300 leaders from all over Europe. I was asked by Pastor Sunday to address the ladies in one session, the men in another and then the group together.  Pastor Sunday worked with me taking the one group while I took the other. I was blessed to see how the men responded to me. During my session with the men I could feel the presence of the Holy Spirit working in the meeting as I encouraged them to allow their wives to stand with them and to love them. We spoke about how their wives are their best friends and partners forever in the ministry. It was important that we spoke about reasons for many breakdowns in ministry marriages. At the end of the session we prayed and believed God for change in their marriages. One particular pastor from Denmark shared how he had never told his wife that he loved her in 25 years or in fact his parents.  Many of the men cried as you could sense the working of the Holy Spirit in their lives. 

While speaking to the ladies you could sense the need for encouragement. Many of them spoke about the fact that they want their men to be strong in the Lord and to take their rightful place in the home. They did not want men who were weak and unsure of their calling but men who would walk by faith KNOWING their place in God so that they would lead their homes well by example.

I do believe that great things were accomplished during this special time we had together.

The conference in Kiev! 

After the leadership conference, Pastor Sunday hosted his main conference in Kiev. It was held at the Sports Arena.  I could not believe my eyes at the thousands of people who came from all over the world. The standard of this conference has to be one of the best I have EVER attended. From the worship to the flag processions to the time spent in the Presence of the Lord .. everything was very anointed!  I could not help but notice that the South African flag was pretty obvious in the proceedings, which blessed me tremendously!  I also met many fellow Africans who are Full time in ministry all over the world.

I have also had some other very special invitations that I will share with you in time to come.


March
On the 26th I leave the USA to travel to Kiev for the Conference hosted by Pastor Sunday. I am really excited about this wonderful opportunity and know that it is the beginning of something truly exciting in my life.

On the 18th of March, Krissy and I shall be relocating back to Tampa.  I believe this is right for us at this time. I shall be back with my friends Pastors Rodney and Adonica. I have also been invited to assist Victorious Life Church.  Pastor Ed and Janet Russou are dear friends and their church is exploding. I previously helped them to redesign their television set.  Pastor Joe and Nicky Van Heerden dear friends that pastored with us at Rhema for many years have just accepted a full time position at Victorious Life Church launching the homegroup ministry. 

 

On March 16th,  I travelled to San Antonio to do a ladies meeting for my friend Beverley Wolmarans. It was wonderful to see her again and to take a tour of their new bulding.  They continue to Pastor the church in Bedforview South Africa along with this sister church. The evening was different as Bev wanted to do it like a TV show with the ladies asking questions and Bev and I answering according to the Word of God.  Over 250 came and we had a ball .... Bev was her usual joyful self and together we really blessed the ladies. At the end of the evening we prayed for many of them and you could feel that their lives had been encourged and challenged to greater things in God. ere in the US but they are certainly striding forward.

February 
I am excited about the new Mike Murdock product that has just arrived in South Africa. Dr. Murdock is one of the greatest teachers I have ever sat under in the area of gaining wisdom for today.  He is greatly celebrated in the United States and is a great life coach for those who are interested in being challenged to lift their lives to the next level.

Its back to work after a wonderful break over the Christmas & New Year Season.  Seeing old friends and spending time sharing about the 'Goodness of God' is always  edifying ... and God has been GOOD TO ME!

I am very excited about the beginning of this year.  I have accepted an invitation from Pastor Sunday,  Pastors of The Embassy Of The Blessed Kingdom Of God For All Nations, a church of 28 000 imembers in the UKRAINE, to speak to his leadership conference in March/April.  Leaders come from all over Europe, and the world, to attend this dynamic conference.  I shall be speaking in three of the sessions specifically about Marriage & Ministry Relationships.  This thrills my heart as I know that after 25 years of ministy, I have much to share.  

Dynamic Woman's Conference is underway for July/August in South Africa. I have decided not to have registration this year, enabling everyone to attend.  I believe it is going to be a very powerful time of ministry and thousands of lives will be changed.


LADIES,  IT'S TIME TO CELEBRATE!
