THE NEXT PLATEAU: I CANNOT DO THIS ALONE!

On Thursday, August 10, 2006, Tuesday’s posting, “THE STATEMENT” was shared with me in conversation at a Red Lobster Restaurant on Highway 50, near Orlando by Pastor Ecclesias in the company of Pastor Julio Brutus from the Haitian Church of the Nazarene in Winter Haven, Florida.

Realizing the seriousness of his words, from the beginning, I knew we needed to write it down, so with the help of Pastor Julio translating where English was difficult, we were able to take dictation and documented this the Pastor’s statement. Pastor Ecclesias approved the translation as you read it.

THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES
Subsequent conversation produced our planning the ABBAQUEST LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE OCT. 28 – NOV. 6. Pastor Ecclesias is expecting at least 400 people, who are in a leadership capacity, to be in attendance. There will be two morning sessions and two afternoon sessions for five days. The dates above include traveling and the week-end services I will be preaching at the Tabernacle.

The Theme of the conference is “Dwelling in the Secret Place”. Subjects covered will include, “The Importance of Personalized Worship”, “Praying Effectually” and “Understanding Who’s in Charge”.

This is not a vacation trip. The cost is self-supporting, the days are long, the nights are hot, the teaching is through an interpreter, and the food is different! The rewards are remarkable.

THE FATHER’S CONFIRMATION
The evening of the 10th of August, I received a check dated 8/3/06 for $500.00 with a note, “Haiti Mission Expense”. That was seven days prior to the meeting at the restaurant. Before we called He answered, while we were yet speaking He was hearing us. God was dove-tailing His heart with Pastor Ecclesias’ heart.

Anyone, desiring to be a part of helping with finances for airfare, teaching materials (such as notebooks, paper, pens,) and food for at least 400 (two meals a day) for five days and diddy-bags, plasticware plates, bowls etc., generator gasoline to run lights and fans in the classrooms and guest suite (incl. pumping bathroom facilities’ water), please send your check made out to:

Spirits Aflame, Inc.
c/o 201 N.E. 8th Avenue
Ocala, Florida 34470

Place a short note in the envelope that says: For AbbaQuest Ministries, Haiti Conference. “Spirits Aflame, Inc” is a finance clearing house for missionary and ministry efforts in various places around the world. It is a non-profit 501c3 incorporation that receives and disburses our funds.

YOUR VALUE IS GREAT TO THIS CAUSE
I beg each of you to pray for me in these days. No, intercede for me! Stand in the gap, take hold of God and truly get His attention on our behalf. (He loves that!!) My friends, you are of great value to my life and ministry. God truly cares about these people. If you pray, HE WILL MOVE. He will bless AbbaQuest with HIS anointing. IF YOU PRAY, we will become instruments in His Hand for the spreading of His Salvation throughout Haiti. Training these leaders is the beginning of the Lord raising up a mighty army of His Servants that will be sent throughout this country to bring Eternal Life to individuals and historical change to the nation. If you pray God will answer and do great and mighty things beyond our farthest expectation. I cannot express how valuable you are to me. Please PRAY. Our ABBA is listening.

WINTER HAVEN, FLORIDA IN SEPTEMBER
Pastor Julio Brutus has asked me to be the guest speaker at his LADIES CONFERENCE, SEPTEMBER 22-24 at the Winter Haven Haitian Church of the Nazarene.

NETWORKING WITH JWEA IN JANUARY 2007
International Evangelist, Jim Wilson has also called and asked me to go with him to Cap-Haitien in January 2007 as part of a preaching and teaching team. It will be in conjunction with a Medical Mission and Pastor’s School of Evangelism the Jim Wilson Evangelistic Association is planning with Pastor Ecclesias and the Tabernacle of Praise Church. I told him I believed the Lord would have me participate in his efforts.
