   On the last day of the East Coast Women's Conference (ECWC), I got to talk to over 1,000 women about how important it is to let you kids pray and be a part of ministry in your homes and local churches. It was way cool because when I was done, they all prayed for your generation and spoke blessings over you!

I was pleasantly surprised to meet Jordan (pictured above with his mom) at the ECWC. For some reason, he heard me talk to the ladies about kids prayer, and was excited to find out that kids all over the world are praying. He had started a kids prayer group in his local church and was in need of some encouragement. Please pray for him as he works to get more kids praying in his local church. You go, Jordan!

Beth, one of the leaders on the platform at ECWC noticed that many Sunday school teachers from her church were praying together for you guys after learning more about kids prayer. On Sunday morning, the very next day, this is what happened. "One teacher took your session to heart and on Sunday morning decided she was going to do her class totally different. She took down the tables. Put on praise music. Began to take prayer requests and the end result was she had 3 kids receive the Holy Ghost [with speaking in tongues] in her class yesterday morning." [She teaches first graders.]

I'm back and the update is in progress! Of course, there are lots of "fotos." Check back soon! Oh - I won't make you wait for this...13 people were healed after they learned to pray for healing using the L. A. B. B. method. Oh - and one kid was filled with the Holy Spirit...at a Children's Ministries Training Seminar for adults.

Missionary Lynne Jewett is the leader of the CCMpact Children's Ministries. This was their second seminar.

The group from Guatemala packs up to make the trip
to Nicaragua by bus. Their buses broke down alot!

These kids are going to be reached with the power of the gospel.

Six countries sent teachers and ministers to the seminar. We had a blast!

   These clowns were grrrrrrrrreat! These guys are so funny! And here they are without their clown makeup...but they couldn't resist putting the sticks of dynamite on their heads and wearing them like hats. :)

   Teaching these kids the "Crazy Song" - as they did, they got to put tape on our "enemy of God" and so did almost 100 people from the audience. This is what happens when children praise/worship God! It was the first lesson I taught and the spirit of God was so strong - I believe Jesus was pleased with their response (Psalm 8:2).

   I gave "American Candy" to the kids who helped
teach the adults the Crazy Song...they ended up
sharing all  of their treats with others.

I had to speak through an interpreter - Thanks, Sofia, for being so wonderful!

This baby doll helped me teach an important lesson about our Spirit.

   On the first day, at the end of the seminars, I taught them about teaching kids to pray for healing, using the L.A.B.B. method. This little girl volunteered to pray for this visiting missionary who has been suffering great pain since late this past Summer. Guess what happened? She and twelve others were healed in Jesus' name. What a wonderful testimony to know God hears us when we pray in His name.

This is one of the twelve
who were healed in the L.A.B.B. session. She had been in pain for thirteen years...but slept like a baby for the first time in years after her healing.

   Something happened as we prayed together four different times for each other, and the children in the six countries of Central America. Nearly 425 people caught the vision for kids ministry and prayer. It was electrifying!
   This preacher (top right) stayed for the entire seminar the first day and was touched by what he saw from the other teachers and learned from the sessions I taught. He was a blessing to us all.

   I used a hand saw and a power saw to demonstrate the difference in praying with human understanding (hand saw) and praying in code (when we use our prayer language-electric saw). It was so fun - I loved being at this seminar. And the adults were wonderful.

At the end of the seminar I played a recording of four kids who had prayed for us back home. The interpreter repeated what they said and it was such a blessing! Thanks Shekinah Kids - you guys ROCK!

This teacher is praying a prayer of thanksgiving for
the keys to ministry and revival in her place of ministry. She is going to share them with her kids and revival will spread.

   On the way to the seminar people from Guatemala and El Salvador arrived very late. Their buses kept breaking down.
   When it was time to leave we all prayed that the busses wouldn't break down and that they would take the joy from the seminar back with them. The result?
   None of the busses broke down and they sang, prayed and talked about God's goodness all the way back home.

This sweet lady sold me spoons made from gourds
in the market. She blessed me with such a sweet spirit and kind words.

Three times a day these women prepared food for and fed all the people who came to the seminar...they fed about 425 people at each meal.

Brooke (5 years old) - saw me teaching children

I did teach children at the training seminar, but hadn't planned to.

Jared (10 years old) - felt to pray that I would be safe and immune to any disease.

I did not get sick from the food, ice, or water.

Chelsea (10 years old) - felt I should tell adults and
kids that kids back home have prayed for them and
that they "got held in God's power."

I played the tape of the Shekinah Kids group praying for all of us at the seminar. Their four prayers were answered in detail, including one for miracles.

Zach (8 years old) - saw a picture of nine kids that
heard what I was teaching and that they would be protected from the enemy.

Exactly nine kids put tape on the devil's mouth and were used to teach adults the new "Crazy Song."
