September '08 - The Latest News............

Well, we have had a month full of 'ups and downs'. The down side was, obviously, watching Rhiana go through a really tough diagnosis and surgery. The up side was really knowing and sensing God in it, every step of the way. I (Tracy) am really able to give testimony to feeling like I was being 'held' throughout the whole situation and our whole family really knew a deep measure of God's peace throughout. God gave us the same prophetic word to hold on to during this time, which was His promise to give Rhiana a story (or song) that she would share in her future, that would bless and encourage many. We are still under the hospital for regular checks with Rhiana (next one is 2nd October) and would value your continued prayer with regards to her health.

For Trev and I, this past month has been one of continued 'challenge'! PRAISE GOD! We are learning so much and can give real testimony to God's grace and faithfulness in our lives, individually and together. God's repeated word to us before we left the UK was that he was taking two individual oak trees, uprooting them and grafting and re-planting them as one! It's not all been plain sailing........but it has been so worth it! We have had the chance to live together, work together, lead Community Group together and share an office together! (And we're both still alive!)

This past weekend was an amazing weekend for all of us at Jubilee Church Atlanta. We had the privilege of having Julian Adams come and share prophetically with us for 2 days. I don't think the church will be the same! There were many words for us to take hold of - things that have been repeatedly promised to us - substantial growth, signs and wonders, becoming a multi-racial church, planting out.... it was a time of real encouragement and was extremely faith-building for some of us, who had grown weary. The Sunday morning meeting started with an amazing time of praise and worship, where we felt that the roof was 'blown off' amid shouts of exaltation and thanksgiving. The Spirit's presence was so powerful, with many gifts being shared and healings taking place. The sense of us having entered a 'new phase' was prophesied. We were really blessed, as a family, to have Julian share words for each of us. We just stood in awe (and wept) at the depth and detail of the words that came. Words for our children that just awesome and so intimate. GOD IS SO AMAZING!!! No doubt, we will get to share more details with many of you personally in the days ahead!

God Bless!
