Weekend of Minsitry and Blessings


What a wonderful experience in the presence of the Lord this weekend! I love it when God shows off!


TEAM Ministry traveled to Osceola, Arkansas on Saturday August 8 to enjoy Praise Break ‘09 with the saints of the United Pentecostal Church Worship Center of Osceola. Pastor Tim and Cristie Doran are part of TEAM Ministry who were the host of this wonderful service.

There were about a 130 in attendance, which packed out the church with chairs down the hallway. Pastors from nearby churches brought their young people and singing groups to take part in this wonderful time of worship. Young and old alike sang with great anointing and inspiration. Several signing groups blessed us with audio and visual singing. Sister Dyson brought the house down as she sang, “He’s an On Time God!”
Churches represented, that I was able to catch the names of, were Leechville, Arkansas with Pastor Jerry Johnson, Wilson, Arkansas with Pastor Keith Stokes, and Kennett, Missouri with Pastor David Henderson. There were also several members of TEAM Ministry Group in attendance Royce Henderson, Todd Henderson, Shirley McCoy, Karynn Doran and Yvonne Hinshaw. We had the privilege of meeting TEAM Ministry Group members Jade Gonzales and Nancy Brooks for the first time.
Sunday afternoon we enjoy being God’s blessings once again with another divine visitation as we ministered in Osceola. Pastor Tim ministered to the children while the rest of us joined in on the fun and blessings. God spoke to us about His love for us. Our lives were touched. Several left changed!
After a quick meal and time of fellowship, we rushed to Calvary UPC in Jonesboro, Arkansas and enjoyed a great time of worship and the preaching of the Word of God. Evangelist Robert and Deborah Tisdale were ministering at Calvary. They are friends of ours of many years. We were neighboring pastors in Northern California in the 1990’s and shared pulpits on many occasions.
Evangelist Tisdale preached “Don’t Touch Me I Am Going Up!” I am not staying in this situation; God has called me to something greater. I will not allow circumstances to bind me God has called me UP! What a powerful message. Three people received the wonderful baptism of the Holy Ghost during this service. One of those was from the Church in Osceola. What a wonderful was to end a blessed weekend.
We enjoyed the hospitality of Pastors Tim and Cristie Doran of Osceola. We also enjoyed meeting and fellowshipping with Pastors John and Bonnie Chance of Jonesboro. These folks have enjoyed a wonderful move of the Holy Ghost and have seen 103 baptized with the Holy Ghost in ten weeks. Thank you Pastors Chance for allowing TEAM Ministry to be blessed.
Thank you for your prayers TEAM, they were felt and rewarded. Together Enjoying Apostolic Ministry!
