21 April 1999:- Our team that have just spent the last week in Lesotho, have just returned with the best news every - 500 decisions were made in the meetings that was held in many villages and churches. God has been faithful in keeping them safe and provided them with all the opportunities that were needed. Among the obstacles that were placed in their way were a burst tire on the minibus, a broken radiator on one of the off-road vechles, a broken projector, P.A that just would not work and a generator that broke. But because God is good, none of these factors stopped the work from being done. Praise God!!
20 January 1999:- The church at Camperdown is going well and we had 28 people at the service on Saturday afternoon. We are still looking for a Zulu speaking pastor that would get more involved in this church.

20 November 1998: - Richard Duncan back from Europe.
"I was privileged
to be invited to Belgium and Holland to minister in twelve meetings in
10 days.
We travelled to
and fro across these countries each day.
Many signs and wonders
were experienced. The average church in Europe is 30-50 members strong,
and a 300 member church would be considered to be very successful.
We were operating
out of a 1000 member church in Belgium.
These churches are
operating under the apostles doctrine and the 5 fold ministries are in
full operation. Although most of the churches are small by South African
standards the level of commitment by the members is very high. The gifts
are in operation and Miracles are expected.
The standard of
Praise and worship is very high and musicians are spirit filled. Prophetic
praise is the norm. Most choruses are written out as they are prophetically
sung. The congregations are led directly into the holy of holies at most
gatherings.
The strong man over
the cities is sexual immorality and this is rife throughout the community
and even experienced in the church. Normal toiletries do not have the levels
of privacy South Africans expect. Strong teachings in this area, have broken
traditional thinking and upbringing, in the Church and a new level of understanding
of spiritual matters has been the result.
Strong Apostles
are leading the church and the results are great signs and wonders.
The anointing of
God on the man of God is respected and as a result the power of the anointing
is evident. We experienced great liberty in the spirit and were able to
operate freely in our gifting with fantastic results. Pastor Mike had a
man get out of his wheel chair on the Friday night as he prayed for him
and eventually join in the praise and worship on his feet.
A week later we
prayed for another man in a wheel chair who has been paralysed most of
his life and who's legs were very thin due to having never been used. He
regained feeling in his body to his feet for the first time. He was in
great pain however but was rejoicing that he could feel his body. We trust
the pain goes and he regains strength and walks.
We received many
prophesies over our lives via the Apostolic and prophetic ministries and
we were privileged to be under them. We were also able to prophesy over
many during our meetings with outstanding results. I was able to prophecy
in tongues to a number of people and there were life changing experiences,
which were a blessing to me personally as usual. A young girl was born
again while under the anointing after a prophesy from Pastor Mike and then
myself. She excitedly told us of the change in her life later.
All in all it was
a great trip and it is good to see the hand of God moving in Europe.
We will put to good
use the experience we received under Apostle Ashley Mc Guiken in our ministry
of F.R.O.M. May the Lord take all the praise and glory and let his will
be done.
