A Good Report

The "Missions Flock" on Saturday was an amazing time of hearing and seeing what the Lord has been doing. Frank briefly reported on his trip to South America. His last sermon there was on "Occupying the gates". Many non-Christians are influencing our culture and making decisions that affect us all without truth. As the scriptures say their thinking is futile. Frank has been impressed that God's people need to take a more prominent roll in influencing our society. Mic also shared how the book 'Seven Women Will Take Hold of one Man' has impacted his life. He has been especially influenced to pray more for the manifest presence of God in our lives. This is the special presence of God that can not be denied. He gave the example of the Azusa City Church prayer meeting that was going on during the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. The roof of the building they were meeting in was on fire, but it was not consumed. The manifest presence makes things different so people notice. Frank gave an example of a church in Lake land Florida where amazing healings are taking place. Percy shared a healing in their church last week that was a result of prayer. Melanie also shared about the most recent status of the new prayer ministry called "Fire Starters". She also handed out some brochures. A majority of the meeting was hearing a report from Bill, Tony, and Shirley about their recent trip to Germany to work on the new ship "Logos Hope". We also saw a video Shirley had made touring the ship. As always, we had a wonderful time of prayer. At the end of the meeting Jim mentioned that RCCF was starting a benevolence fund for those in need, donations could be made by writing a check to RCCF and write benevolence fund on the bottom.
