This year's Joel's
Army youth and young adults conference was a great time of worship,
entering God's presence and being filled again with fresh passion
to tell the world about Jesus Christ, the Anointed One! We had visitors
from Latvia, Holland, and Northern Ireland, as well as young people
from all over the UK all coming to share in this time.
With visiting speakers Sammy Robinson, Linda Cho and Andrew Gazaneo,
together with our own Ryan and Anna Baker-Barnes, this conference
inspired both first time visitors and returning delegates to go
further into God's presence and deeper into the knowledge of His
love, and to embrace the message of Jesus' death on the Cross and
take it to our homes, our schools, our workplace, our streets.
Fresh Anointing!
The conference was a time of experiencing once again our first love
for God, drawing deeper into worship, and pouring out love songs
to Him in new expressions of dance and art. Afternoon workshops
also gave both men and women the opportunity to discuss heart issues
of purity, which enabled them to remove barriers to entering God's
presence. This brought everyone into a deeper place of worship and
encountering God during the evening session following.
Out on the
streets!
There was opportunity to develop gifting in the areas of dance,
art and also prophetic evangelism. Over sixty young people went
out from the Apostolic Resource Centre into Dudley town centre to
pray for healing and speak words of destiny into the lives of those
they met.
We heard testimony from some of those who went out on the streets,
and know of two people who were healed, and two people saved during
just one afternoon!
We also heard comments from those in the local area that we had
wonderful young people with us for the conference who were such
a blessing to have around. It is so good to see people impacted
by the Kingdom of God in so many ways as Jesus becomes visible to
those around us! 
Entering God's Heart
During the final session, Sammy encouraged everyone to realise that
Holy Spirit lives in the heart of every Christian, and He is the
same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead! Andrew reminded us of
the importance of living every day close to God's heart and flowing
in His anointing, and Linda shared her experience of God calling
her to enter His heart and learn His mysteries which brought her
into a fresh sense of the fear of the Lord and an awareness of His
holiness and glory. This has been a wonderful time together where
everyone has been renewed in their passion for God!

PIH FIRE Pentecost Conference Report
This month's Partners in Harvest FIRE Pentecost conference was
a wonderful time for all of us, as we welcomed speakers Marc Dupont,
Mark Stibbe and Ian Andrews at the Apostolic Resource Centre.
Ian taught on healing, with many practical opportunities for us
all to learn from his wealth of experience in praying for the sick.
He imparted to all of us about believing God for healing, and stepping
out and praying for those around us. Mark Stibbe exhorted us to
be fully awake to all that God is doing, not looking behind or being
content with past moves of God, but flowing with what Holy Spirit
is doing now. Marc Dupont taught on the fire of God's holiness understanding
the work of the Holy Spirit and both he and Mark Stibbe spoke prophetically
into the lives of many of the pastors and leaders present.
It is so good to be in God's presence together during these times.
We have seen some amazing healings over the conference, including
one man who has been healed of type II diabetes! Praise God for
His abundant life!

Healing Week Report
Our Healing
Week with Bill and Gwen Prankard was a wonderful week of refreshing,
time in God's presence and seeing God move in healing and salvations.
It also saw the start of Revival Fires healing clinics!
Bill and Gwen taught on healing each morning during the conference
and in the afternoons teams prepared to welcome delegates and passers-by
to experience God's salvation in body, soul, mind and spirit. The
healing clinics began!
People flooded
in to fill our available appointment times! Teams of people prayed
with individuals enabling them to experience God's presence, healing
and freedom from oppression. The highlight of the first few days
of the healing clinics was when three people came in together from
the street, drawn in by our sandwich board sign on the pavement.
One lady in a wheelchair experienced some healing and was able to
get out of her wheelchair and walk around the room for some time
with her pain level considerably reduced!
But the best was
yet to come! All three of the visitors were impacted with the presence
of God and gave their lives to Jesus while in the healing clinic!
We praise and thank God for this harvest of 0 souls! The healing
week continued with evening celebrations with wonderful times of
worship and being filled to overflowing with joy in God's presence.
The healing clinics continue twice weekly at the Apostolic Resource
Centre, and we have already seen a number of people healed - back
pain, knee pain, sickness and sleep disturbance.
Testimony
I just want to thank Revival Fires for the warm welcome they gave
to my parents. The love of Christ was really shown to them both.
They were both prayed for by Bill Prankard, and other members of
the team, and they have both been touched by God. My father, who
has had three minor strokes, was not feeling well, but testified
to feeling a whole lot better after being prayed for. He had been
a little unsteady all evening, but was much stronger physically
after Bill prayed for him, and not at all 'spaced out'. My mother
has had bypass surgery, and also testified about feeling much better
after being prayed for.
People at the conference chatted to them both about Jesus, and they
could not stop talking on the way home, full of happiness and joy
and talking about the meeting!

Stirrings of Revival!
Heaven on Earth Conference Report, March 2007
We have just finished
our Heaven on Earth conference with scenes of incredible hunger
which we have not seen in the UK for many years! What we witnessed
through the conference was just unbelievable! People arrived at
7.30am for a 10.30am meeting, desperate for a fresh encounter with
God, hungry to hear His word, reaching out for fresh impartation
and a fresh touch from Him. People came to this conference from
all over the UK and Europe; we had delegates from Iceland, Austria,
Belgium, France, Germany, Ukraine, Latvia, Spain, Ireland, Africa
and North America, all hungry to meet with God.
When did you last see people queuing to get into church? On the
Saturday of the conference in particular, people arrived two hours
before the doors were due to open, and by 9am a queue of people
stretched right down the street. Passers by stared and wondered
what was going on; the answer was: "Heaven is breaking in on earth
and we are desperate to experience it!"
The hunger continued
throughout the conference meetings. Before the start of every meeting
people were already waiting at the front of the main meeting hall
to enter into worship: "Praise awaits you, O God!" Psalm 65:1. God
released us into fresh levels of worship and dance and it was awesome
to see over 600 people, dancing and shaking the heavens and the
earth with praise!
Hunger spilled over into the coffee shop and bookshop, as people
ran to buy the messages on CD. Hearing it once was just not good
enough! These messages just had to be laid hold of by our hungry
delegates, and our resources team raced to keep up the supply of
material for everyone who wanted them. At times, those desperate
to buy were packaging the CDs themselves as soon they ran off the
duplicating machine, just needing to get hold of them for themselves!
For times
of ministry, everyone kneeled on the prayer ministry lines so that
we could make sure every individual got personal prayer, as the
speakers and ministry team edged their way among the lines of people
all crying out to God for a fresh touch from Him.
Paul Keith Davis drew
together all the messages over the conference in his Saturday afternoon
message when he decreed storehouses where harvesters would be gathered
and then released into the world. This was an incredible meeting
as he released anointing on leaders of churches and on intercessory
leaders for the harvest and for breakthrough.
This was truly a landmark conference which saw Christians here
in the UK released further into their prophetic destiny. We believe
over these few days we have seen the first stirrings of revival,
and we wait with great anticipation to see this trickle of increased
hunger for God's presence become a flood which will sweep this entire
nation!
