Seeing it through.


I’m crying uncontrollably at Heidi’s kitchen table, God is moving. I am not sure what’s happening or why, but I know that I am feeling peaceful and safe. God then speaks, ‘Visions beyond the veil is going to happen in Pemba and I want you to go long term with Iris Ministries so you can be part of it with the kids.’ I cry more and kneel before my savour, and say yes.

‘Visions beyond the veil’ is a book Rolland Baker’s grandfather wrote when he was a missionary in China. He testifies when He had an open heaven over the children’s home. He talks about the visions the children had and how they spent most their days learning from the father in these visitations. It was incredible how the adults started learning from the children. How the youngest, abandoned and rejected where the first in the fathers eyes.

One year and 5 months after I had that time with the Lord at Heidi’s table, I have witnessed and heard the testimonies of this happening. At a youth group for our older boys the Holy Spirit fell and one boy was taken into a visitation. He saw angles and shook hands with them, climbed a ladder to get through a hole he saw in the ceiling, leading to heaven and saw the floor full of the blood of Jesus. He also saw fire above each head of the people sitting there with Him. We heard all about this at our staff and missionary home group the next day. As we were listening one of our missionaries had a diamond fall on her leg. She assumed it was someone’s that had fell from their jewellery. So she started asking around but we all knew…for one, we are missionaries…no one has diamonds in their jewellery! We all knew if had fell from Heaven. It was such a beautiful diamond and cut perfectly. It was just perfect.

I am getting so excited for this and praying for more! We need to step up as a church and start stepping into these places of more. We need to start learning from the children all these years ago, who were stepping out in faith and stepping into the visitations.

Please continue to pray for us, pray for the more. Pray for the ‘big stuff’ to happen in each area of the ministry.

I have just got back from my visa run to Kenya and had an amazing time. I got to rest lots and play lots! J My friend and I had great fun having cheep good food, coffee, and cooler weather! So thank you for the prayers during this time!

Would be great to hear about what God is doing in your lives and if you have any prayer requests. Also I would like to know if this is the best way of keeping you all updated. If you are finding it hard getting onto my blog to read then do let me know and I can think of a new way.

Many blessings to you all! You are all amazing!
