Dear Reader,

I am typing this letter high over the Atlantic en route home from Canada. It has been so good to spend time with Kent and Karen Bandy, the Directors of the new Ellel Ministries Centre in Ontario. They are steadily building a very solid base for the developing ministry, with some wonderful testimonies of what God has been doing in people's lives on Healing Retreats. It was also good to meet up with old friends in Toronto on the way home.

The previous week Ian Coates and I were very privileged to be sharing in the first All India Ellel Ministries Conference at Hyderabad. What a joy it was to meet people who had been on all five of the 9-day schoolsthat Ellel Ministries India have conducted in various parts of the nation. I was deeply moved by the women who expressed such deep thanksgiving for their restored lives - lives that had been devastated by sexual abuse and trauma, but which God had been putting back together through the Ellel Ministry teams in India.
What an amazing work has been established in India by Ray and Christa Eicher. After the personal blessing they received on the 9-week Flagship School at Glyndley Manor Ray and Christa came out of retirement to share with their many Indian friends what they now knew God could do for them! The fruit has been amazing. We are very grateful to the staff of Operation Mobilisation who allowed us the use of their Hyderabad base for the conference - an excellent and much-appreciated facility.

Sovereign World, the Ellel Ministries Publishing House, has just published the totally extraordinary story of Frida- a young girl who was scheduled to die in the Rwandan genocide - but who's life was in God's hands and even though buried alive, was destined to live and forgive those who had massacred her family. I won't tell you any more, it would spoil the story, but I really do urge you to get hold of this wonderful book and read of how healing came to Frida through forgiveness. She is now back in Rwanda with her husband Steven and they are starting a work of healing in Kigali, the capital city. You can order the book on the Ellel Ministries website. This is a book you can confidently give to people who are unfamiliar with the healing ministry. They would be gripped by the story and learn so much as they follow Frida through her extraordinary experiences with God.

Down under, the Australianteam have been making a second Ellel Ministries visit to New Zealand - this time for a pioneering conference in Christchurch. And the Ellel Eastteam have just returned from opening the door for Ellel Ministries in Mongolia. Little by little they are also beginning works in more of the States of the former Soviet Union. So much need, so much openness among God's people and so much fruit for the Kingdom 

Here at home we are looking hard at how we can restructure the Headquartersof the ministry so that we can better serve the many developing ministries that exist around the world. Please pray that we will have the Lord's wisdom and He will provide all the resources we need to keep on walking through the doors that He opens.

Thank you for the encouragement of your prayers
Yours in the love of Jesus
