Russell and Chris Frager with Krissy and I at GDOP. 

On May 27th Global Day of Prayer was in full swing around the world.  The Community Church in Ashburn were hosting the event. I was invited to pray for the Orphans of the World. This truly blessed and I shared the passage of scripture in John where Jesus encouraged the children to come to him and rebuke the disciples for trying to stop them. He then layed hands on them and blessed them.  During my time of prayer I invited all the young people to come down to the front and then I encouraged all the Pastors present to surround them and lay hands on them as a symbolic gesture of touching the children of the world.  It was a moving moment for me as many young people came down and many Pastors were present to bless them.  It was great to see Russel Fragar who joined us and led us in singing 'Shout to the Lord'. He is Co-Pastoring a church in Manasses, Virginia and loving it!

I met with Patricia Phillips who is running for Virginia in the Senate. What a wonderful christian she is and she won the first primary!

Preparations for my trip to South Africa are well underway. This year will be slightly different in that I felt it would be great for me to visit a number of ministries and be a blessing to their ladies and congregations instead of hosting larger conferences. I believe the conferences will continue, but this year is going to be special in a different way. My wonderful friend Faith will be traveling to South Africa and ministring with her daughter Martha Munizzi in Cape Town and Durban so if you get the opportunity you will be very blessed to attend these special services.  


Krissy and her friend Taylor at school!

Krissy is in her last few weeks of school and then she is on holiday for the summer. She will be visiting her family for two months and then we will meet up for a couple of days on our return.
One of her best freinds from Tampa will be joining her for a couple of weeks in South Africa, a gift from Krissies dad, Ray.

Now for some wonderful news!  My son Joshie has gone fulltime at Rhema South Africa with a view to developing into a leadership position as he progresses. I am very thrilled with this step which certainly is the Lord as I have known since before he was born that the 'calling of God' was on his life for fulltime ministry.

MOM HAGIN ... GOES HOME!




Just this weekend I took out the crystal necklace that mom Hagin blessed me with many years ago. I prayed and thanked the Lord for her life, her kindness and faithfulness, and asked the Lord to bless her!

If it were not for the Hagin Family I don't believe Rhema South Africa would have happened! We have SO MUCH to thank them for.  Please pray for the Hagin family and Rhema Ministry at this time.

'Thank you Mom for your faithfulness and your love that was so abundantly given to us. We love you and you will forever be in our hearts'

July

On Saturday 7th July, I was invited to pray for 'unity' in marriages and families and an event that had taken three years to organize! The event was staged in front of the Capital Building down in Washington, DC. It was one of the most moving experiences I have personally had and recognized it as a great honor to be invited to pray!

Praying in front of the Capital Building, Washington, DC July 7th 2007

When Beth and I arrived we were greeted by wonderful smiling faces from all over the Washington, DC metropolitan area. The stage was huge and the sound system was enormous! You could hear the praying from miles around! Rather humbling for me as I have never done a public event like this before! Prayer was offered for the Government, Church and spiritual leadership, marriages and family, youth and education .. it was wonderful! Hearing the Word ready publicly in front of the seat of government and was truly encouraging .. it will NOT return void!



On the left two of the organizers and Beth and I. What 'favor' and what an experience!

Getting ready for my trip to South Africa! So much to organize with the Lord very much in the center of everything. My mom is celebrating my homecoming and will have all my fav foods on the table!

Released on August 6th is the new Joy Mag with a stunning four page article about me! I am thrilled to have been honored by Erin (President of Joy) in this way. We have been good friends for many years and I did a ladies meeting for her way back in about 1983 ... wow! 

I would truly appreciate your prayers as this is going to be an extremely busy time for me. I also deeply believe in prayer cover and that prayer is the MOST POWERFUL weapon we have. Your prayers will carry me and bring what is necessary to those who will be in attendance at all the meetings. I am especially excited about the New Life Church Ladies Conference in Sandton as many of my dear friends will be coming and I look so forward to seeing you there if you can come!!


Krissy and I - Virginia 2007

August - SOUTH AFRICA

Amanda a friend of Krissy's and I flew out of the US on the 3rd with great excitement in our hearts. Amanda was going to spend three weeks with Krissy on holiday in South Africa, a great opportunity! My heart stirred for ministry, and to spend precious time with my special family and friends.

Mom and I. Joshie and I.

It was great to hug my moms neck and catch up with all the family 'news'! We drank tea and laughed .. what an amazing lady she is! I pray that I will be as warmhearted and as much fun as she is when I am 83!

I could not believe how handsome my son has become! I loaded this pic on Facebook and everyone thought it was my boyfriend!! He has gone fulltime with Ray at Rhema and he is loving every minute of it .. must have some of my genes??

Fun with some old wonderful friends! Sue, Les, Nanette, Ann, Mads, Me and Mertia

August 11th - New Life Church 'Fabulously Whole' Ladies Conference

Lisa Stark invited me speak at her Ladies Conference. I had never met her before and was very blessed to meet a young woman on fire with the calling of God on her life. I immediately warmed to her and we had a wonderful time. The conference was well attended and the ladies came hungry and expecting to receive whatever the Lord had prepared for them. Mamaki Malope was also a speaker along with Lisa and at the end of the sessions we called up the ladies and ministered to them. It was wonderful to see a number of them give their lives to Jesus for the first time. This meeting for me was very special as I got to hug the necks of a number of the precious ladies who supported me so faithfully at Rhema, for many years. I spoke about being 'Fabulously Whole' and how important it is a women to make sure that there are no 'issues' in our lives that are unresolved. It was just a couple of months ago that I heard the Lord say to me ..'I want you whole! Whatever it takes and whatever you have to do to get you wholeness, I want you whole!' I know that Jesus has already provided our wholeness but most of the time we don't do what we need to do to walk in what He has provided! I knew exactly what the Lord was saying to me! So, I shared this precious message with the ladies of Bryanston.


New Life Church. Praying for the broken hearted!

The ladies were so special! Preaching away! From here mom and I were off to Cape Town where I had seven meetings to preach in 7 days!

Heaven on earth! Mom and I in Cape Town.

August 14th - Kaleidoscope Ministry, Pastor Glen and Michelle Robertson

I met Glen Robertson officially on 'My Space' .. people wonder what good can come out of My Space but there you are!! We scheduled a special meeting that would be mostly for Bible School Students but everyone was welcome. It was wonderful! The worship was truly blessed and the people so receptive and so very nice! I preached on 'Holding Fast' which is a strong message of how the Lord wants us to understand that we have an enemy and we need to make the Heavenly Father and the Word of God our anchor through all times. Never to let go of what HE has given and promised us.

It was great to see my old friend Loretta Ornellas and her beautiful daughter Beshara!


Beshara, Loretta and I. Beshara, Loretta, Pastor Peter Lawry, me, Pastor Glenn & Michelle, Mom and one of South Africa's top saxophonist!

We had dinner together after the meeting and I really got to love Glenn and Michelle. I believe we will do things together in the future. South Africa is blessed to have so many precious men and women of God in ministry.

Having fun in the Lords presence!

August 15th - Capitol Worship Center, Leadership Meeting - Bishop McGuicken

While living in Tamps Florida, I met Amy Van Tilborgh who was working with Strang Ministries. Over the years we have stayed in touch and Amy is married to Martijn Tilbourgh a South Africa. Martijn asked me if I would do a meeting for the ministry he is associated with in Cape Town. I accepted and that is how I met Bishop McGuicken and his lovely team. The meeting was held at the AFM in Bloubergstrand. It was for leadership and I was very blessed by the precious people I met and the level of ministry at this meeting. The worship team were outstanding .. true Psalmists! My message was geared to leadership and I felt very encouraged by the anointing to minister to this particular group. It was my first time in the area and there was a great response to the ministry. Bishop McGuicken is a wonderful man and I hope to do further ministry with them in SA.

From CT my dear friend Trevor Sampson drove mom and I to Hermanus. We also stopped along the way to see what Trev is doing in one of the townships. He has set up a music school and recording studio where he is finding the hidden gifts and talents of the Cape. Its great to see how the ministry is lifting the lives of those nearby.

My dear friend Trevor Sampson

August 15th - Bosco Ministries, Hermanus. Pastor Mario & Celeste Marchio

Mario and Celeste were part of Rhema for many years until God called them to Hermanus to start a work. They have faithfully pastored Bosko and brought many hundreds of precious people to the Lord and also developed many disciples. What a great blessing it was for me to be invited to do a Ladies Dinner on the Wednesday evening. The church was packed with gorgeous ladies all ready to hear the message. It was great! I preached my heart out with the message burning inside of me 'Fabulously Whole'! We had a ball. Many came to the Lord and an opportunity to pray for the ladies was foremost before closing the meeting. I was blessed to see Bev Moller and Colleen Raine who were youth leaders at Rhema for many years. Words cannot express my joy at doing this meeting for Mario and Celeste. They have invited me for years and years .. at last the invitation was fulfilled. We look forward to doing other meetings together in the future.

Beautiful Hermanus where the whales come to have their babies! Special friends Pastor Mario and Celeste Machio! I'm so happy!!

Peaching at the dinner, it was wonderful!

A while back I met a couple here in the USA who were from SA, Matthys and Lorraine De Kock. They have a 5 Star Guest House called 'Sandles' in Hermanus and mom and I were blessed with three nights there. It was just beautiful ... here are the pics!

Saturday 18th - Community Fellowship Church - Ladies Tea, Protea Hotel - Bantry Bay

Preaching at the ladies tea. With Michelle and Jackie Georgio from Joy Mag

It was a great blessing to have 'Joy Mag' do a four page spread on me and the ministry. This article was released on August 6th at the start of the trip. I do want to thank my dear friend Erin for the article which was simply outstanding .. pics and all! Click Here to Read the Article!
August 18th - Life Church Somerset West, Ladies Meeting

Directly after the Ladies Tea at the Protea Hotel Bantry Bay we traveled to Somerset West to where I spoke to a large group of ladies at the Life Church and Assemblies of God Church. Jo Swart the Pastors wife had been working with Erin Georgio (Joy Mag) and she had invited me to be the speaker at a ladies meeting. It was wonderful .. so much joy and excitement in the air! Jo and I immediately hit it off, and the meeting was outstanding! I preached about being 'Fabulously Whole' and the response to the altar call and ministry call was tremendous! Oh I just LOVE preaching the Word and seeing peoples lives change! It was also special for me as my very dear friend Val Petersen travel down from Jhb to be a part of the meetings. There were about 350 ladies packing the building and we all left very blessed and fulfilled in the ministry of The Word. Jo and I are planning a conference for next year in Somerset West. It was also great to see Pastor Michelle Mengel bring many of her ladies to join the meeting.

Pastor Michelle kindly drove mom and I back to Cape Town where Community Fellowship Church had accommodate us at the Protea Hotel in Bantry Bay ... we had the most wonderful view from our bedroom!

August 19th - Community Fellowship Church Sunday Service – Durbanville

Sunday morning we were up and ready for the meeting at CFC in Durbanville. What a great atmosphere I walked into with Praise and Worship high on the list! The first song the worship team sang was 'We have come' from the Rhema 'Praise Africa' series .. I felt RIGHT AT HOME! Pastor Chris and Michelle are well on their way to building a great work in Cape Town. The church is healthy and filled with loving, kind and generous people wanting to serve the Lord. I preached about 'Holding Fast' and I got Michelle on the platform to join me for a quick illustration.. enjoy the picture!

You better 'Hold Fast' to what God has given you!

Michelle and I are great friends and next year we are working toward some very special things!

From here Mom and I went to our last meeting of the trip with Pastor Kotze at Grace Church, Parow. In the afternoon Pastor Chris and Michelle took us on a scenic route around Cape Town .. you cannot help it but fall in love!

August 19th - Grace Church - Parow Pastor Gerhardt Kotze

Mom and I arrived to the most wonderful welcome! The church was packed, the overflow was packed, and the people were singing with all their hearts .. there was electricity in the air! When I met Pastor Kotze I could sense his tremendous love for the people. He shared with me how the Grace of God had carried him personally through some difficult years, I was a good witness to that fact also! It was a tremendous meeting! The people were so hungry and they pulled everything that my heart could encourage and lift them with. I continued to share the message 'Holding Fast' and spoke more about how the enemy wants to steal everything that God has given us. How we have to be aware and alert and on our guard to these facts. I also shared how God is our anchor and if we allow Him to have his way fully in our lives, it does not matter how great the storm may be, we will be solid and grounded in our walk with God and in our faith. It was a great night and many came to the Lord. I also got to pray for a number of precious people going through difficult times. I was blessed beyond measure!

Well that was the last meeting for this years ministry trip to South Africa. I could not have believed the Lord for greater blessings that this! I have made wonderful new friends, ministered into the lives of so many precious people and most of all the greatest blessing is I have seen many come to the altar to receive Christ for the first time in their lives ... what more could anyone ask for?

Mom and I traveled back to Johannesburg for a couple of days rest and then on Friday 24th

Krissy, Amanda and I left South Africa to return to the US.

September
Time to catch up, was exactly what I needed this month after such a hectic schedule and tremendous time of ministry in South Africa! On the 25th Joshie celebrated his 24th birthday and it seems hard to believe that so many years have passed since God gave us such a precious gift!

Then the wonderful news came from my dear friend Pastor Kathy Bichsel of House of Hope Church in New Jersey, we are on our way to UGANDA!

Let me share this wonderful story with you ...

UGANDA - 'JOSEPH'S HOUSE!'

Many of you will remember that back in 2004 I traveled to South Africa for my Dynamic Woman's Conference and at the meeting in Rustenburg a very precious lady came who had traveled from Uganda, her name was Florence Kaweesa! Click here! I felt very strongly that I needed to stay in touch with Florence and see 'how' I could help their ministry. They shared about how they had started a church but constantly struggled with the tent structure which kept on being blown away or damaged by the weather! They were also taking care of up to 30 children who were orphans and needed help with this very precious side of their ministry. I asked the Lord to open the door for help to come to them.

One Sunday while visiting Pastor Kathy Bichsel (see 'May' top of the page!) I shared with her the desire in my heart to bring help to Pastor Kaweesa. Pastor Kathy immediately shared how her church was wanting to get involved with this type of project and that they would pray about it. Soon after Kathy received a prophecy and in that prophecy she was seen as a 'Joseph' bringing help to the Nations. Then almost at the same time an attorney in her church who is not accustomed to dreaming had a very impacting dream in which she saw Pastor Kathy as a 'Joseph' bringing help to others in other countries! At this stage I had not shared with Pastor Kathy the name of the Pastor I wanted to do the project with! When I told her his name was JOSEPH, we all started shouting in praise for what obviously is going on here, Praise the Lord!! Needless to say the project has been called 'Jospeh's House' and very aptly named! We fly out to UGANDA on October 30th to meet with Pastor Joseph and Florence Kaweesa in Kampala. How awesome!

The children with Pastor Joseph and Florence. This is their church .. we want to build a brick building!

I need you to please pray for us! We need favor with the authorities, wisdom in planning an building and the necessary financial support to press on with this wonderful vision. It is our desire to build a church, school, housing and a simple farm structure for the project.

Lyndie McCauley Ministries will stay involved in the project as I shall be a Board member and continue in an advisory capacity. The entire project will be headed up and administered by House of Hope Church, New Jersey under the oversight of Pastor Kathy Bichsel! There are other ministries very interested in helping with the project, which is really exciting for us all. I do believe this could be the start of something special for LMM as I have identified some ministries I really have it in my heart to help in different countries of Africa.

My dear friend Kathy.

Kathy is also the lady that was interceding for me for a number of days when I was attacked on the stage at Rhema, she had never met me! We have since then become great friends and in 2005 I invited her to South Africa to speak on the DWC Conferences.

You KNOW God always has something greater in mind than what you can see at the moment! And so NOW we are on our way to Uganda with a whole amazing project for the Kingdom of God on the way! Praise the Lord!

UGANDA 30th Oct - 5th Nov

On Tuesday October 30th Pastor Kathy Bichsel & Pastor Arthur Garcia from Hope For The Nations Church in New Jersey, and I flew out of Kennedy Airport in New York bound for Kampala Uganda. We were so excited knowing this trip was a trip of destiny!


Kathy and I at Kennedy Airport New York - Arriving at Entebbe,
Florence, Joseph, Kath and friend

On arrival at Entebbe Airport I could feel the goose bumps on my skin not only because I was in Africa, but because of the significance of being there! A friend of mine had arranged for us to be met and what a joy it was to see my name on this huge board in front of the biggest smiling face you have ever seen! Once cleared, we went through to meet a very excited Pastor Joseph and Florence Kaweesa, along with their worship leader! We hugged and laughed and rejoiced! I felt like I was in a dream ... the vision was unfolding!

We talked excitedly and discussed the following days and the way forward. Let me share what we discovered with you:

We are to build a Boarding School and not an orphanage. The Ugandan Government want to raise the orphaned children along with other children. We had the opportunity to visit four different Boarding Schools of which many are funded by international ministries. We met many teachers and headmasters whom we found to be very pleasant, happy in their work and loving the children. The standard of education is good. Along with their lessons the children get taught to wash their own clothes and dishes, clean their dormitories and help with the yard work. This helps them to realize the importance of hygienic conditions. They also play sport, go on outings and live in an environment that is safe. The Christian Boarding Schools offer bible studies and times of worship.

Humble Way School and some of the wonderful teachers. An example of the school we would like to build

Happy faces!!

Once this research was done we visited four possible pieces of land on which we would build Joseph's House. We drove through the roughest bush and over mounds and through potholes, it was good fun! We laughed so much we cried!

Land research and pumping water from a borehole!

On the Saturday we took time in the morning to meet the Pastoral leaders raised up by Pastor Joseph. What a group of wonderful men and woman! Joseph has a heart of gold and being with him is an inspiration! He walks in an Apostolic anointing.

Church property in Gumba, meeting our first orphans in the village.

Kathy sharing with the leadership. The village church at Gumba.

The village church is located in Gumba on a piece of land owned by the church. The building is an old mud hut! The foundations of the new building are in and ready to go! (It is my desire to help him get this building off the ground!). This is where we met the first 20 of Joseph's orphans. In the afternoon it was arranged for us to meet the other 50 children who were at another location. They had prepared a very special welcome for us .. singing and dancing! It was a great honor to be there. We also gave out gifts to the children who smiled continuously! Thank goodness for Pastor Joseph and his team who work tirelessly to bring this help to the children!

Precious orphans ...

Alex leading the worship, notice the battery? The girls dormitory, a simple mud hut!

How can we ignore the cry of the children?

The tent I had only seen in a picture! Now I was preaching in it?

A packed service. Pastor Kathy praying a little girl. She is HIV positive.

Sunday arrived and it was time to preach! It was the rainy season in Uganda and we woke up on Sunday morning with it pouring! The three of us had been asked to speak at the service that lasted from 10.00am - 8.00pm! We were to speak in the tent that was located at the new church plant in Phiri the congregation have purchased the land next door with a view to building a new church in the near future.

We wondered about the tent but Joseph assured us all was OK. We slipped and slid all the way to church! But as usual we were not disappointed as the church was packed and the worship team were in full swing! Alex a seventeen year old and one of the orphans Joseph has taken care of for many years was playing the electric piano (connected to a car battery)! The standard of excellence was amazing! I was without words and cried a number of tears! I got up and spoke first after the truly wonderful welcome and then Pastor Kathy followed. I spoke about 'Holding Fast' to God's plan, then I invited the lost to the altar, many were saved! Kathy preached about the Holy Spirit, worship and also living right, she called for the sick and we layed hands and prayed for them. The evening service Pastor Art preached a powerful message and then prayed for the leadership! What an awesome time we had! The people rejoiced and we rejoiced .. and HEAVEN rejoiced!

Monday morning we arose early to be on our flight back to the US. It was a blessing to see Pastor Bob Nichols from Fort Worth on the same flight. He owns the Christian Television network and is responsible for the level of ministry going out to the masses!

It all happened to fast .. but much was accomplished! The school registration is underway and please watch this space for updates!

We need your prayers .. as this is a special task! If you would like to get involved please contact me: lyndiemccauley@aol.com We need your help!

Special Thanks!

I would like to take a moment to say 'thank you' to Pastors Rodney and Adonica Howard-Browne whose constant support has enabled me to accomplish many outstanding things in the ministry.



Also to my precious friend Dr. Mike Murdock who has assisted me with the conferences in South Africa for over three years now. What a blessing it is to have precious friends like these who are themselves great sowers! Without them, I would not have been able to accomplished the tremendous work that has been done. Thank you my dear friends!



This has been an exciting month in preparation for Uganda. I found out that a large Methodist church in my neighborhood launched an orphanage four years ago in Kampala. They have an excellent work in place so I touched base with them and they have offered for us to gleam off the precious experience they have gained over four years.

We fly out on October 30th ... please pray for us!

November/December

Where do the days go.....?

It's that time of the year again when we begin to think about precious family and friends and show our appreciation for their love by sharing a gift with them. My special gift was hearing that the registration of Joseph's House is underway and that there is great excitement in hearts of Pastor Joseph and Florences heart. Hope For The Nations Church also put together some special supplies for the children which were shipped out just before Christmas!

I am excited about this coming year and what it holds for me personally and for the ministry. I shall be in the UK on two occasions, back in SA for a longer period this years and ministring around the US. I also have a desire to return to the Ukraine this year and Lord willing that will happen.

I would like to thank you for your prayers, love and support for the ministry this year. It has been a truly busy year for me and a lot was accomplished of which I am truly blessed!
