I'm Back!

Hello All. These past several months have been wild and crazy. Just a quick review. In January, Robin and I spent two weeks in Grand Rapids preparing for our oldest son's wedding. The wedding was the 27th and was a wonderful experience. My extended family were awesome and we enjoyed welcoming our new daughter and her family into ours as well. FLM had one weekend experience at First Baptist in Springfield, Ma. with pastor Bob Smith. On Sunday morning, a number of people who had experienced the weekend spoke up at the beginning of the service pleading with the pastor to let them share their experiences. Our hearts were overwhelmed by their testimonies.

The first weekend of February was 3 days at Vision New England's Congress Conference in Boston. We had a meager little booth in the exhibit hall but many people stopped to listen to the CD; often times they bought it on the spot, and then would let us pray for them and share about the ministry. A number of people said that experienceing us at the booth, my workshop and the CD was worth the whole price of admission (200.00)!

The next weekend I was in Jacksonville, Florida at the Beaches Vineyard. I spoke at both of their Sunday AM services. The response was overwhelmingly positive. One gentlemen in his 50's who had been doing ministry for 28 years told me the next day that his experience of church and all that he did afterward because of church was the best day of his entire Christian experience. I was blown away. We are presently working out the details for me to return quarterly over the next year to implement the materials slowly.

The next weekend I was at the Southside Vineyard in Grand Rapids, MI. doing the weekend experience for 22 of their leaders. Again, God was so faithful and amazing.

As soon as I returned home on Monday, I was instantly engaged in a week of making the DVD. What an amazing time. So many wonderful people helped in so many ways to make it a success. And by God's amazing grace, I completed all six teachings in the 30 minute limit!

That Friday the FLM team was off to West Haven, CT. to do another FLTL Experience. The next weekend I was in Portland, OR. at the Montavilla Baptist Church. I was home one day and then 8 days in Costa Rica.

This past weekend I was supposed to be away again but a snow storm cancelled it. I was really glad. I needed the brake. This weekend I am at an Advent Church in Haverhill, Ma.

As you can see, things have been really busy and really fun the past 2 months. Please pray that God would continue to fill the calendar and bless the ministry. Also, pray that I get better at doing this blog thing. My website is supposed to be up for trial by next Monday. I so need the Lord help me with keeping up with blogging and other forms of communication.

Thank you all for your prayers and interest. The Lord richly bless you. Mark
