March went fast!


The girls went to a conference!
Kathi made her first journey, both driving more than 10 miles here and out of the country without Al. Kathi took 5 of the women with her to a women’s conference in Podgredec Albania. Driving here is much different than driving in America. Driving here is very stressful most of the time. We are so happy she made the 9 hour, one way, journey safe and sound!
Testimonies from the conference include; one woman who had a dream the night before the conference that Kathi had said she should quit smoking. When she arrived at the conference she found they did not allow smoking on the grounds of the school. She talked with several ladies at the conference that God used to speak to her that she should quit. She heard and chose to obey the Word she felt God was speaking and quit smoking!!! Praise God!
Another of our ladies has had a very “colorful” past to say the least. She went to this conference a little apprehensive and not really sure what to expect. She admitted hearing about God speaking to people but didn’t understand or even believe it to be more than something people just say. The second night during worship God spoke to her and told her that “her past was forgiven and her chains were broken.” Then so was she! As she wept she received healing and deliverance from her past. She was also able to, for the first time, take communion worthily. The Bible says if we have offense in our hearts and we take communion in an unworthy fashion we drink a curse upon ourselves. She was able to forgive those who had hurt her and release them from the bondage she had created in her heart. This paved the way for her own personal healing. God is so awesome!

Matthew 21:15-16 Out of the mouths of babes..
One of the boys, 10 years old, came to church last week hardly able to wait to share a testimony. He was praying that his father would stop drinking so much and come to church. This boy who has seen visions and heard the voice of the Lord said “Jesus answered me and said, don’t worry about this, your father will soon become a believer” !!!!!!!!! Hallelujah!


Awesome God!
God continues to heal hearts and physical bodies in our midst. As we lay hands on and pray the prayers of faith, God is there to heal and encourage people. Kathi is also seeing physical healings within the women’s group. Even the visitors are getting healed and touched in their hearts.

The Kids just keep coming!
The people working with the children’s ministry are constantly amazed at the hunger they see in the children. They are reporting of changed hearts in some and a true desire to worship and pray in others. Some of the children, due to pressure at home, come with attitudes against Christianity. Some stop coming for a while but return with a more open heart. We believe God is touching them as they see a difference in us and those who hold to their “father’s religion”. They are softening and even asking to pray where before they wouldn’t even accept the teachings.  God is moving on the hearts of the children!

Please pray for;
Direction on different building, we have outgrown the one we have.
Finances to do what God has called us to do.
People to be raised up to help work the vision of Bashekesia e Ungjillit, Fellowship of The Gospel church.
Wisdom to apply all the above.
