Minister’s conference for me was like a place where I get a very ”expensive jewelry” – what. I took this jewelry and put ”on may neck” – in may heart as one of the the most expensive treasure.
Some of these jewels are:
- Guard your anointing and anointing will guard you,
- The biggest enemy of anointing is triviality and tolerance, always be in expectation
- Glory of God always represent who you are…
During MC2010 I realized how important is to be in team, to be trained and prepared for team work under Authority of God. I understood that just expectancy of revival is not enough. There is something more than just catching the Fire. We have to be ready to maintain it!
Let’s say, you throw me basket ball. If I don’t expect it, ball can hurt me. If I expect it and catch it, I can throw it and if I’m lucky, I can get some points. But I have lost it, because I was playing alone, doesn’t matter how good I was. But if I play in prepared team under Good Coach, I will be able not just catch the ball, not just throw it ones, but together with my team we will be able to keep the ball, to take it through the game and be the winners when the final trumpet sounds!

I can undoubtedly say that the 3rd year internship here at RBI has radically changed my life; and through me I believe the Lord is radically changing the lives of many other people. I am currently leading a bible study in a community within the city. We have a regular attendance of 25-40 people every Monday night. Just having the precious opportunity to pour into the lives of other people what has been poured into me is a blessing beyond measure. We had begun to share on stewardship and giving about 3 months ago and we have seen incredible moves of God in the finances of our regular attendees. About a month after we had begun to share on seed time and harvest one of our people had a desperate need financially.
I told her to continue to not only believe in the word but speak it continually. One Sunday morning Pastor Todd was teaching on making room for the anointing. He called up this lady and prayed for her. As she was out under the power of God members of the church just began to walk up and give her money. Checks, cash, whatever they had they gave. When she had counted it all it turned out to be more than enough for her need. This is as much of a testimony to me as it is to her seeing that the Lord works with us, confirming his word with signs following. No one guilted or begged the people to give to her, they simply got up of their own accord and gave. The Lord is continuing to do mighty things in this community and I believe that the best is yet to come. If not for the internship here, I would not have had the opportunity to go and to teach the word, therefore the Lord would have nothing to confirm.

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!

It is Jan 2nd and I am watching Pastors Eric and Jennifer on the Web. I am so encouraged by them. I remember the first time I talked to Jennifer when I answered the product line at RMI. God has really done a work in their lives. God is so faithful and I can testify that his word is true. Last Feb 1st after the Super bowl was over my husband dropped a bombshell on me. I knew that he had been watching porn on the internet and we had had several heated discussions concerning it. That night he brought me a paper that he had hidden in the garage for a week. It was a notice that had been taped to our mailbox from the Hillsborough County Health Department ordering me to come in for testing. My husband had started to act out what he was watching on the Web and he had picked up a girl on the side of the street, paid her for oral sex and he had gotten syphillus from her.
He had been sick for months and knew he was in trouble but he hadn’t told me until his doctor finally realized what the problem was and had him tested. Of course, the facility that tested him was required by law to report it to the Health Department. I was devastated and I begged him to get help. He told me that he had apologized to me, that he was sorry and that was all he could do. He didn’t have a problem and didn’t need any help. Two days later I spent three hours at the Health Department totally humiliated as I was inspected from head to toe inside and out and got two shots of penicillin. I stayed with him for two weeks after that continually trying to get him to realize he had a problem and that he needed help but he continued to deny it, saying it was a one time thing and never would happen again. I knew in my heart and my spirit that that was a lie from the pit of hell.
I stayed for two weeks after that and then I left. I had a young girlfriend with a small child that took me in and I lived with her, out of boxes for the next nine months. I hadn’t been to church in almost three years, but I had prayed constantly and begged God not to give up on me. I was struggling with my faith and was very disillusioned with the church. Well, God got me back in church. I walked into a new church that next Sunday and God met me there. Over the next few months God healed my hurt bit by bit. I would get on my knees in my bedroom day after day crying and praying and repeating God’s promise. I would say, “God, your word says that you have a plan and purpose for my life, a plan to prosper me and not to harm me.

This year’s summer camp meeting has been very impacting on my life. I had just come back from my honeymoon and walked straight into 8 days of very powerful services. For me personally, God spoke to me about getting hungrier and going to a new level in my relationship with Him. In the services much was said about impacting this generation by bringing the Gospel and the fire of God them. It stirred me more for what God can do through me to reach those around me and how I can serve in the area where I am at so that those above me can better reach more people. I am looking forward to every opportunity I have to share the Gospel and the fire of God inside of me. God spoke to me a lot about giving and sowing into His Kingdom.
I loved it when Joel Stockstill spoke. His testimony really gave me another outlook on my life. It is amazing how this man of God has gone through all that He has and has an even greater passion and drive for Christ through it all. That encourages me so much, no matter what I’ve gone through it is still not as bad as him and if he can make it so can I. But even just looking into Paul’s life and testimony and what he has gone through is so uplifting. It inspires me to have an even deeper relationship with God so that if I were to face anything like these men of God I can also make it through.
The services really brought the Word and ushered in the presence of God. This camp meeting was definitely life changing and launched me into a new level with my walk with Him. Thank you Jesus!
