MMI Ministry Report

November and December 2014

November 2: Catskill Mountain Christian Center

I was excited to ministry in perhaps the most influential church in the upstate New York Catskills region. This church, founded by Pastors Robert and Nancy Engelhardt more than 20 years ago, has an amazing food bank that reaches thousands of at-risk families, as well as a grammar school. They are able to attract hundreds of worshippers every Sunday in an area with a population less than the size of their congregation.

On Sunday November 2nd I taught on the Lord’s Prayer and dealt with how our identity as children of God is the foundation to us manifesting the Kingdom of God on earth. I also dealt with the need for emotional and spiritual maturity that is essential for walking in forgiveness so the rule of God can operate in our midst.

God moved with great liberty through this prophetic teaching and many people came to the front after the message to receive prayer.

November 11: US CAL National Council meeting

We officially launched the United States Coalition of Apostolic Leaders with a national council meeting in the Dallas-Fort Worth airport area hotel. We had about 60 leaders who attended, which showed the amazing enthusiasm high-level leaders have from across the nation for this new movement. Based on surveys we received from the council members present, there are now over 60 requests for me to come in 2015 to conduct a regional summit and/or leadership gathering to promote this burgeoning new movement and empower high-level leaders in the Kingdom of God.

Any leader with apostolic ministry and influence who is interested in joining this movement can download an application on the US CAL website. 

November 12: ICAL Meeting 

The next day at the International Coalition of Apostolic Leaders, I preached on the 4 R Vision of the movement (Restoration of the church, Reconciliation amongst ethnic and denominational leaders, Revival of the church, and Reformation of society) to about 400 of the top apostolic leaders from approximately 60 nations. This was an important message because it was meant to give the whole international movement some vision for what each national coalition should be focused upon in their mission. God seemed to have given me great liberty in preaching and the feedback I received from the national leaders was very positive. (The whole message can be listened to on the US CAL website.)

The entire conference was extraordinary and greatly encouraged key leaders from all over the world.

November 15: Father’s House Leadership Retreat

On this Saturday morning I ministered to about 80 pastors and their spouses of the Father’s House Network led by Bishop Eddie Long.

Bishop Long heard me teach last year in a conference and I have found him to be very hungry for God, humble, and a man who learned greatly from his past who wants to promote the Kingdom of God in the nations. I taught a summary of the book of Ephesians on the theme of the Kingdom of God. God moved greatly and the pastors were edified and motivated to be agents of change for their surrounding communities and culture. I felt so blessed to have the opportunity to be amongst this great group of leaders.

December 6-7: Eagle Rock Church

I have been greatly blessed to be with Apostle Les Bowling who has an extraordinary church, school, and food bank in Columbus, Ohio. The church has a large property with a large apostolic network of churches even though the work is only 17 years old. This is a testament to the great leadership ability of Apostle Les and Pastor Sheila, his wife.

During the day I also videotaped three sessions for the local TBN show Les hosts. We dealt with the subject of how to walk in generational blessing. Apostle Les said the teachings were outstanding and the message needed for the hour we live in.

On Sunday morning I preached on the “Generational Kingdom” from Genesis1:27-28 to the great congregation of Eagle Rock Church. I was going to preach on “Jesus the Radical Leader” but Apostle Les specifically asked me to deal with the subject of generations. God gave me great liberty to preach on how marriage and family and biological children are the foundation of all societal transformation. It was easy to preach in this church because Apostle Les and Pastor Sheila already laid a great apostolic foundation for me to build upon. At the end of the message more than half of the church came to the front to receive the anointing of Elijah the prophet, to turn the hearts of the fathers back to their children and the hearts of the children back to their fathers. I felt a strong imprint upon the lives of this church and Apostle Les told me that it was a tremendous, holistic message and that he received input from many people about how it really blessed them.

I am grateful to God for allowing me to minister in this great church that influences hundreds of churches in their network all over the world.
