God Bless you.

Chester and Betsy Kylstra

We (PHW), and Christian International (CI), are excited about hosting another Prophetic Healing and Miracles Conference. Last year's conference was great, but God is ever greater. We are expecting even more this year.

One pastor, as he left the conference last year, said "Next time, I want to bring a whole busload of my people so that they too can experience the healing presence of the Lord."

We also were recently touched when a woman wrote that she had decreased from a size 14 to a size 6 in the months since the conference. She said that she had put into practice the sound nutritional information she had received. "I never had more energy or felt better."

What makes these three days unique? For one thing, this conference is broad-based. The Lord doesn't want us to just receive inner healing, or just receive physical healing, or just receive ... He wants us to receive it all! We will be emphasizing 1 Thessalonians 5:23.

To "be preserved blameless" means: no corruption, no degeneration, no disease, no problem or fault. This applies to our spirit, our soul, and our body. God wants all of us to be holy. This occurs as God sanctifies us wholly, i.e., completely, everywhere, throughout: our body, soul, and spirit. We want to learn to receive and to experience the potential of God's wholeness during this conference.

To set the tone for what Lord wants to do in your life during the conference (and afterwards), you will receive Prophetic Presbytery during the first session. We are expecting God to reveal specific details of His plans for you, for healing and for freedom. Last year one man stated that the prophetic word he received was worth the entire conference. Everything else was a bonus. And God did continue to touch him mightily throughout the conference. (We did not charge him extra for the bonus!)

We will be expecting miracles to occur that affect our spirit, soul, and body. Miracles of healing, yes, and also miracles of provision, revelation, in circumstances, etc.

God does not want us to just receive miracles. He wants us to "pass them on." We will be learning how to release miracles. Releasing them for each other. (Bishop Hamon in his New Year's eve message stated that this is the Millennium of the Miraculous.)

We will learn how to be better stewards of our physical temples (bodies), according to Godly principles. It is one thing to expect a miracle from God to correct problems coming from ignorance and mistakes of the past. It is another thing to continue in the old lifestyle after God's mercy and grace has rescued us. For some of us, it is crucial that we make immediate changes in how we care for our bodies to protect ourselves from become just another statistic, along with the rest of the world. We strongly encourage you to come and learn about the myths and deception in our society regarding nutrition (or the lack thereof). Lets learn how to maintain our healing and increase our vitality, so that we can truly fulfill God's call on our lives.

We are beginning to fast and pray for this year's conference. Will you join us in praying for an outpouring of God's love through healing, freedom, and miracles? Will you join us in receiving from God's heart?

Come, if you are hurting. Come if you need to be refreshed by God. Come if you want to learn to receive and to release miracles through your life. Come to be prayed for and to pray for others. Come receive from your God.

Health Tip: Aqua Pura

Did you know many diseases can be prevented by drinking an adequate amount of water? Some diseases already in process can be greatly alleviated. "No, coke and ice tea don't count. It has to be plain, old-fashioned, pure water." You might try keeping a clear pitcher of water near you to help you keep track of how you are drinking each day.

For more information, you can read The Body's Many Cries for Water, by Dr. Batmanghelidj. His research shows that many severe, degenerative diseases can be prevented, or can be reversed, just by drinking more water. He suggests a minimum of 6-8 or more 8 oz glasses a day.

God had been stirring Lois' nest for a while, and we knew it. This is our Lois, who has served this ministry so faithfully and unselfishly for five years. God was calling her to new arenas. Lois oversaw the daily operations of the Healing Houses, and cared greatly for each ministry receiver and each ministry team. We told her affectionately that when interviewing, she went into people's lives, "where angels fear to tread." She went there so graciously! Those of you who have known her as a vital part of this ministry will miss her being here, as we do.

"Lois, we pray for the Lord's double portion anointing and great fulfillment in this next season of your ministry. Wherever He leads you, you will always be part of this ministry as well."

Mike and Wendy Caulley, who have helped us greatly this past year in the accounting and special projects areas, have been called to key ministry positions at New Covenant Church in Thomasville, Georgia. We miss their steadiness, forethought, creativity, and humor. They will be doing some ministry together, and Wendy will be using Restoring the Foundations to train ministry teams there. This will be a supplement to the existing ministry program headed by Loyd Cope. "Caulleys and New Covenant, we wish you God's best."

We are excited about our new RTF ministry publications for Cell/Small Group Leaders. They are the result of the Lord telling us He wanted His healing brought into the "grassroots" of His church. He directed us to focus all of the elements of the Restoring the Foundations Integrated Approach to Ministry on one problem or issue. He wanted this in a form convenient for a Cell/Small Group Leader to use in one evening of ministry. The result is an easy to train, easy to use, approach.

We have worked with New Life Christian Fellowship in Chesapeake, VA, for two years refining and improving the material. To date, over 200 Cell Group Leaders have been trained. They are busy using the Issue-Focused Ministry in their Cells, bring significant RTF ministry to their Members.

There are two basic publications. The Leader's Guide gives step-by-step directions to the Leader, taking him through the process of evaluating the problem his Member is struggling with, determining the roots, and then ministering to the usual four problems/ministry areas of Sins of the Fathers and Resulting Curses, Ungodly Beliefs, Soul/ Spirit Hurts, and Demonic Oppression.

The Member's Guide contains Restoring the Foundations condensed into 16 pages. It prepares the Member for his ministry, using an easy reading style, lots of graphics, and eye catching layouts. You will enjoy it.

(If you desire more details about these materials, please check out the Cellgroups.org web site.)

For years we have received prophetic words that we would be "reproducers of reproducers." In 1995, we trained a very effective pastor couple who many of you know, Pastors Rodney and Kathy Tolleson. They have reproduced other ministers including John and Barbara Briggs. The Briggs, who founded and oversee a Healing House in North Carolina, recently ministered the RTFM principles so powerfully in Poland, that they have been asked to come back to establish a Healing House at that church.

It is not particularly exciting to read in the Bible that so and so "begat" so and so, but it sure is exciting when you are a part of the "begating!"

If you are interested in becoming a Restoring the Foundations Minister and receiving college credit for taking courses, attending seminars, and being trained using PHW ministry materials, give us a call to find out more about how to do this.
