We will be leaving Darkhan tomorrow at 9:00 am to go to UB where we will fly out at midnight to Seoul, Korea. We will layover in Seoul for ten hours. Then it's on to Los Angeles with a two hour layover and then we fly to Seattle. Coming home is great but we will surely miss our Mongolian friends. They are such a sweet people.

Guess what we did today? I rode a two humped camel. Only my camel didn't like me. It kept making a loud noise going ' aaaagh ' and opening its mouth angrily at me. Then it just decided to sit down. I was waving my arms saying 'up, go , up. " but, did it listen? Noooooo! Finally the owner came and pulled it by its nose ring up.  So I trotted it back and let Tammy ride it. It liked her and seemed to do just what she wanted. Now the other camel I rode liked me just fine and I trotted it around and even raced Tammy and Rainbow's camels.

We also got to drink camel's milk inside a ger. It was really fun. Camel's milk tastes kind of like goat's milk or cow's milk only sweeter and more butter fat. Was delicious really. The ger was so colorful and homey. I wouldn't mind living in one at all. It only takes them 15 minutes to take it down and set it up again. Amazing.

Poor Rodney.  When he went up to his camel it shook its head vigorously and camel spit flew through the air sliming his face and shirt. We told him he should take it home and frame it to remind him of his Mongolian experiences. I don't think Katya liked that thought at all.

Well, we miss everyone and will be home soon. I would love to bring you all and come here again someday.

Love in Christ,

Your Mongolian Team (Kath)

We have been having a most amazing time. Yesterday we went to pray for the people at church and when we arrived there there were so many. We all got to pray for people and it was such a blessing. One fellow was shaking so badly and wanted us to pray for his arm as he had lost much the use of it. Tam and I prayed for him and by the time we were done it wasn't shaking any  more and he could lift it as high as his shoulder. Praise God! It is so cool because this isn't about what we can do at all. It is simply what Jesus wants to do.

One little boy was six years old and needed prayer to grow. He was tiny. I thought he looked about three. Any way, he was quite a fidgety boy and wiggly but when we started praying for him he just went over backwards and lay there not moving an eyelid. Tammy and I just looked at each other in amazement!

Today at prayer (I know I'm really just covering yesterday but needed to tell this) a lady wanted prayer and I prayed for her. Then she told me she wanted to have her daughter feel the power of God. I told her that God wanted to use her hands and that she should pray for her daughter. She left and a few moments later interrupted me while I was praying for someone else; her hands became so hot after I had prayed for them. She had tears in her eyes and it was great to see her believing and knowing that God can use her, because its not about us, it is about who God is.

On another note, we love everyone and we'll be so spoiled coming home and being to order what ever we want on a menu. Here, we go in to a restaurant and say,

"I'd like pizza."

The waiter looks at us and shakes his head. "No pizza."

So we say. "Pasta,"

"No pasta, " then he points out the limited amounts of choices on the menu.

For breakfast, on a menu that has about 20 choices, we usually get 'omelet'. They just don't have the food, I guess.  They are so nice though. The people are just about as sweet as you can imagine.

Praying for everyone was so humbling. I doubt that I'll ever be the same again. At least I hope not. I know that I know that I know that I know that God wants to move in power and signs and wonders to confirm His word. And I know that God wants to empower everyone: young , old, weak, shy, as long as we submit to Him I know that He wants to move through us.

Well, take care and we miss you all.

Love in Christ,

Your team,

Just bullet points for now due to time and slow internet.
 
Katya and Diana went with Melanie to her Little Hearts ministry; mothers in poverty were ministered to with food and love.

Vera, Tammy, Kathy, and myself went with Hetee to pray for two ladies, one in hospital, the other recovering from cancer surgery at home. We also purchased and delivered food to the family that lost Grandma. I did deliver a big hug to the granddaughter for you.

We all then converged on the church for three hours of ministry. At least thirty baptized in the Holy Spirit, many salvations, much personal ministry time, and MIRACLES & HEALINGS. (We will journal each of our personal accounts and get you the info asap.) Eyesight healed, broken bones healed, pain gone from old bodies, too many blessings to list now. Tomorrow we have another three hours and other ministry times.

Katya, Diana, Melanie and I went with a young lady to visit her grandma in her ger (Mongolian tent home). Humbling to say the least.

We are having devotions in a few minutes to worship God for what he has done this day!!

A GREAT DAY!!!

In His Service,

Rodney

Sorry about no blog last night; we finished the dinner with the pastors wives too late.

The cultural music and dance program were wonderful. The music definitely added to our heart's cry for Mongolia and her people. Most of the performers were from Hetee's church. I greeted the ladies for you and then had Sue, Barb, and Katya share for a few minutes. After that I had our entire team of ladies lay hands on and pray for the leaders and the performers. A very sweet time of ministry.

One of the dancers was the young girl you prayed for on one of your journeys where God healed her broken arm. This same girl's grandma died yesterday. I went with Hetee to visit the family: seven people (three adults and four children) living under an apartment stairwell in a space no larger than a long twin bed. The three little boys, probably eight, four, and two years) were eating bread with sugar for their meal. None the less, the family was praising God in their grief because they knew Grandma was in heaven. The memorial service will be on Wedensday and we will attend. I intend to ask the team members to help the family financially with the expenses of the funeral.

The opportunity I had to minister to the Abundant Life Church's retreat group was very exciting. This was indeed a divine appointment; that they were using the same hotel as we and that we happened to encounter the pastor in the hall after praying for a young disabled man and then to be asked to share with his people, WOW! I also taught Hetee's leader training class after church yesterday. Church with hundreds of Mongolian believers was AWESOME!!

The ladies are beginning to develop relationships with the Mongolian women and are being invited to various homes for fellowship. We are being touched very deeply in our hearts by this experience and some, like Tammy, do not want to leave, and Vera has found new destiny and purpose for her ministry life. Diana has arranged to spend time with the dance team from the church, probably to learn a few new steps but also to teach her heart for dance in the worship of God.

Many activities are planned for the next three days which will involve a lot of one on one ministry. We are expecting many more healing and miracles. Physically the team is holding up very well; Kathy is having some problem with an old injury to her leg, but she has not missed anything and continues to overflow with her bubbling love of Christ. And, the weather has been quite nice, praise God.

We will send out a report later about today's adventure in God. I'm off to our morning devotion with the team.

With a cry for Mongolia,

Rodney

Praise the Lord in all things!

Saturday was an opportunity for much prayer and an opportunity for God to show his power.  We continued to get locked in and locked out of our hotel, so that was interesting at times.

Meeting was powerful in spite of spiritual warfare.  We learned later that there were a number of  salvations.  Barb spoke to the women about their destiny as women who God can use.  Katya shared more about her life story and Sue did an awesome job in spite of earlier distractions.  God is so....good!

As we were leaving the theater where the conference was held Barb prayed for a woman in the entrance foyer and God touched her to the amazement of those around.
