Camp-meeting has really confirmed a lot of things in my life that the Holy Spirit has been revealing to me since the beginning of school, as well as bringing things that weren’t so clear to me into  focus and making it clear. God has been illuminating the plan for my life and touching me like never before. I’ve been hearing Him more clearly and have been more sensitive to the Holy Spirit and His promptings. I actually see the Lord taking me from faith to faith and Glory to Glory.

The awesome thing for me too is that I’ve noticed my children watching me and my walk with God closely, and seeing how He comes through for us as a family, and He’s taking them from faith to faith as well and getting them more hungry and thirsty for the things of God. I have the privilege of seeing Gods goodness unfolding right before my eyes. I not only want to share His goodness with others but I also want to express my gratitude of His goodness, mercy, grace, love, and all that He is in my daily walk, talk, and in all that I do.

He’s been too good to me in every way that all I can do is live for Him. I thought at times that I might have not been doing the right things or may not be in the perfect will of God, but He let me know otherwise. It’s been awesome to be able to see Gods plan for my life unfold and be a part of others’ lives being impacted as well so that the Glory of God can be shown through their lives too. God is good. -Kelly R.

This year’s Minister’s Conference changed my life. I was so ready and excited for that whole week of meetings. I was ready for a change, I was hungry for more, and I needed a touch from God more than ever before. Already this school year has been quite challenging for me in almost every area.

It hasn’t been as easy to press in now since I’ve had such busy schedule, but I suppose this all comes with ministry! I’m learning to keep my priorities in line now more than ever and keep Jesus as number one above all else in my life. So this whole week of Minister’s Conference was exactly what I needed! The presence of God was so refreshing and so strengthening to me in every service.

I would come in weak and tired, and leave revived and strengthened. One particular night I came into service late because I had just gotten off work. I arrived tired and needed a fresh touch from the Lord. After a long arduous day at work, I needed His joy to fill my heart at that moment; and He did! I knew God was doing a restoring work in my heart.

And finally, I received direction for my life. I knew God had called me, but after Phil Smithhurst ministered Saturday and Sunday night, it was confirmation of what I was already feeling in my spirit. God revealed His plan for my life even more, and He did more in my heart than I can even articulate. I’m so thankful for that week and I know that my life will never be the same.

I had the ultimate pleasure of assisting Pastor’s Allen and Kristin as a youth leader for this year’s summer youth camp. The youth camp was called “Encounter” and rightly so! We took over 55 youth members and 15 leaders to camp for five days and four nights of “funtivities,” character building games and exercises, and Holy Ghost meetings.  It was incredibly rewarding to serve every youth member for the whole week because I was able to pour into their lives, see them get touched by God, and truly encounter God—some for the first time!  These students had their lives shaken by the love of God and the word of God Pastor Allen and Kristin ministered at every gathering; they undoubtedly will never be the same after having this life altering experience.

I only wish that we were able to have thousands experience this youth camp to the point that we take over the whole campground for an entire week!  Hearing the testimonies from most of the students and reading what they wrote down as their “camp testimony” opened my eyes to just how amazing God is that He will touch every person who is hungry for Him in a way that they know without a doubt that God is REAL, He loves them, and He has a wonderful and unique plan for each one of them!

This past Sunday, December 13th, the River Church had an amazing outreach called Operation Raven. The church gave out 1,000 toys to kids in need of presents, boxes of food to each family, hot dogs for the kids, and even a bike give away. Over 300 church members volunteered to make this event happen. There was such an exuberant spirit of joy among all the volunteers. It was obvious that each one had donated their time willingly to help make Operation Raven possible. I was so blessed to be a part of Operation Raven and help reach out to so many kids.

When I arrived at the church at seven thirty in the morning, there were already parents with there kids in line to register for the toy give away. The church did not open the doors until nine. I thought to myself, they think that they are here to get presents for their kids and food for the week, but today they are getting the greatest gift anyone could receive, eternal life.

Was preaching an awesome salvation message and because I was in the back production room, I got to see the kid’s faces up close on the different camera shots.. Kids were weeping under the presence of God. Lives were impacted for eternity.

The whole day was supernatural. From the first down beat of worship, to the altar call, to the toy give away, the Spirit of God moved and coordinated the day so everything flowed smoothly. The proof of the pudding was the souls that were saved all because the Body of Christ came together and operated as God intended it to.

It was a pleasure to press in the entire week. The meetings were not like all the other meetings. Their was something unique about these meetings. It seemed as if the Evangelists and the Pastors are interested in what God is doing around the world.

I had a great time meeting several people from different parts of the states and other countries who felt so blessed to be part of the meetings.

Millions of homes all over the world were watching the live services. I believe that many lives were touched as they entered into the very presence of God. Throughout the week of these meetings Pastor Rodney shared the countries of the people that have been watching the services. I was excited to hear that so many people are getting involved in what God is doing. I just keep telling myself the nations are watching.

Throughout the services Pastor Rodney shared about the people that were sending in prayer requests. I know that God met their needs regardless of whether it was for healings, breakthroughs, salvations, or a fresh touch from God. It touched my heart knowing that there are so many needs around the world.

When Pastor Rodney shared about the couple that traveled in a tank in a very cold place. There was a town where people would look up to the sky and say, “God if you are real, send someone to tell us.” The couple came to them and shared about Jesus. That story so touched my heart I wept for days afterward when I would think about it. God reminded me about what he had already told me about “THE NATIONS ARE CALLING! THE NATIONS ARE CALLING!” Now I understand what God meant.

In conclusion these meetings affected my life by just seeing the major people come and be a part these meetings. Many lives were touched by the power of God.I got the revelation of what God has been speaking to me about the Nations; realizing that I’m nothing without the Lord. I would just pray to the Lord to burn things out of me.

I want to be part of the thousands of people in the army for Jesus.

I was so glad to meet people from my country – Latvia. They were big group, 6 adults and 2 kids. I felt in my sprit, it is time for shearing my Love to them and build up their faith with what God did in my life in last year. I was exercising my hospitality. It was a time of fellowship.  That is such a big blessing to be here in this special time, when ministry is going out of walls, out of time and country borders through Network and Internet. People flaying so far, to receive fire of God, that they can carry it back.  That is incredible sacrifice and thirst.

This was amazing time for me too. The God touch me in some areas of my life, my future ministry, and my relationships with God, songwriting and worshiper lifestyle.  I know this year will be new things in my life, ministry and I receive a gift of Faith, and that things can be done in Gods kingdom in Latvia and everywhere, where God will wants to send me. The God impact in me more Love and hunger for His word. I am going to be blessed, that I can bless others.  It was so good to see, ministers video greetings to pastors Rodney and Adonica for their faithful walking in Christ. I thought, that’s so powerful, that we can see each other walk in faith. I’m thankful to God for Pastors, that they protect their hearts, keep right attitude, never-ending hunger for the thing of God and passion to teach all nations about saving souls.  Never give up!

I`m just in early point in my ministry and this is a good point where to start. I will stay Open to Gods word, will be teachable and humble and always do things in Love of Christ. To see good examples of ministers, who going through every storm and still stand, it’s a pleasure.

 I always need to remember, that God is on my side.

Lady when she received Jesus jumped and said “I’m saved”. A worker at fast food restaurant felt he was a christian but he said he’d never said a prayer like that. When are you coming to Salt Lake City Utah? Lady filling car up with gas. She received Christ at gas station Restaurant- shells- vietnamese lady- “I heard you say some thing about Jesus”

Man and two ladies were sitting on a porch and they said we need this. There were also two ladies getting in a car at Wal-Mart. One of the ladies immediately got saved. A man who said he was going to hell received Christ. Three Jehovah witnesses received Christ. Thirty people at a baseball game got saved. Got two young people (boy and girl 17-19 years old) in car in a in the Wal-Mart parking lot to give their lives to Christ. And say the salvation prayer. Because they were the same age as my youngest son it so touched my life I almost cried during the prayer. My older son was there with me and we both rejoiced while I cried a bit as I realized the marvelous and rejoicing also. I got a Mormon saved and an lds saved.
