First of all - we thank God for all he has done for us this past year of 2006!
2006
We had a good 2006 Christmas. It was a busy time for us from October - December, and so was a good brake for us to finally go up to our friend's game farm for one week to have a rest and enjoy the game, quad bikes, pool etc and "lax out" a bit!
2007
We move into yet another year full of a mixture of ministry and fulfillment in God's holy plan for our lives, and the lives of many others he continues to lead us to.
Everyone involved in LEI are feeling very positive and confident about this new year of 2007, and believe there will be a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit with an even bigger harvest of new souls for the kingdom of God!
We are very blessed to have on board with us this year Mr. Bennet Hargenlocher from Germany. He will be working alongside us advancing his knowledge and practical experience in the ministry, while also doing his Masters in Theology.

SoshenguveTownship Church Meetings
We have been up to Soshenguve for a number of church meetings in different churches.
The first was Grace Tabernacle where we found the people very hungry for the word of God and with a healthy number of young people attending.
We were very blessed that we had the privilege of being able to hand out many bibles to this church (as many in the congregation did not even have enough funds to own their own bible).
They were all very blessed. We spoke a lot about the Holy Spirit, and then and a time for the spirit to move as the backslidden and sick came forward to receive.
Our other church we visited was out in a very rural area made up of a large scattering of houses over a great distance of rural land. This church also had a wealth of young people attending the services there.
This church had no windows or doors on their building as they we still in the process of raising enough funds to finish their church off. It had sides and a roof, but a dirt floor and no windows or doors.
Even so, without the norm - once again God moved incredibly in the service and even the Pastor and his wife that we visited on our previous ministry to Soshenguve, drove up north to this rural area and were with us for this service.
Des asked all Pastors to come forward and join him in the ministry and pray for all those that were sick.
Testimony
One woman that had full blown HIV/AIDS and was very weak came to our meeting on the Sunday morning and was prayed for. After the prayer she was able to stand up from a chair herself and walk instead of having 2 ladies hold her up to move her.
Rain on me
(song)
As the summer rain comes
And smells so sweet
So too, God your rain is divine
Rain on my face
Fresh life within me
So soothing, so pure and refined
Chorus/
Rain on me Holy Spirit
With all that I am - rain on me
Wash me and fill me
Purify me
Cleanse me and make me whole
Soak me in you
That I be renewed
Spirit of God -
let me feel your rain once again!
When the summer rain comes
So the storms of life come too
That blow and toss me around
But with your constant rain falling
filling me afresh
I know I can stand my ground
