Greetings Pastors and Spouses, Prayer Partners and Friends,
While the temperatures here in Wisconsin are cold compared to what we left in Florida, we're getting used to it. But while the temperatures are vastly different here, the same hot spiritual temperature of the Holy Spirit that we sensed in the services in Florida is at work here.
Let me tell you where we were last Saturday night at and what God did. Also, where we've been since then and where we're going.
LA CROSSE, WI - This past Saturday night, Beth and I ministered at New Beginnings Christian Fellowship (Assemblies of God) in La Crosse, WI (located in west-central Wisconsin), pastored by Jen and Kael Clemmerson. This was our third time to minister at New Beginnings, and we were asked to minister on the baptism in the Holy Spirit. God wonderfully poured out His Holy Spirit at this inner-city church! After the first altar call there were people who responded to either commit their life to Christ, recommit their life to Christ or to make things right with God. After the second altar call for the baptism in the Holy Spirit a number of people came forward. It was exciting watching and hearing them receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. But the baptism in the Holy Spirit is not just an experience to receive but is an empowerment to help us minister for Jesus. We later heard this testimony about one of those who were baptized in the Holy Spirit at the altar. That very night as she went home, she saw a lady who seemed to be in need of some kind. She did something that was totally out of character for her, something she had never done before, she went up to this lady and asked if she could pray for her. She didn't waste any time putting to use this newfound power she had just received! We thank God for all He did! We thank you for praying! You were part of this!
WISCONSIN/NORTHERN MICHIGAN NETWORK SUMMIT (formerly called District Council) - This past Sunday night through Tuesday afternoon, Beth and I attended our Network's Summit in Appleton, WI. It was a great time of great services. The speakers were John Davis, our Network Superintendent; Dr. Melissa Alfaro, Senior Pastor of the Tabernacle in Houston, Texas; and Dr. Jeffery Portman, Lead Pastor of Gateway Church in Poulsbo, Washington. Also, there was wonderful fellowship, doing needed business, and making contacts for future services.
OTISVILLE, MI - This coming Saturday night and Sunday morning, Beth and I will be ministering at Vision Pointe Assembly of God in Otisville, MI (located 70 miles north of Detroit, MI); pastored by Joe Lindsay. This will be our second time to minister at Vision Pointe. Please join us in praying that God will pour out His Holy Spirit in these services. We need Him again this week!
MICHIGAN NETWORK COUNCIL - This coming Monday and Tuesday Beth and I will be attending the Michigan Network Council in Battle Creek, Michigan at Journey Life Church. Once again it will a great time of wonderful services, seeing our Michigan pastor friends and making new friends and contacts for future services. Please join us in praying that God will set up divine appointments here as He did last week.

INFO AFTER CLOSING THOUGHTS - At the very end of the emailing please read the paragraphs about - MINISTRY CAR FUNDRAISER, BILL'S BOOKS, and FACEBOOK.
CLOSING THOUGHTS - All the services at our Summit were great. Dr. Portman preached a message entitled, "Delayed Destiny" based on the life of Joseph in the Old Testament. The message dealt with how there are divine delays as part of God's plans for our life. We may not understand the delays but there is a purpose for them. His four main points were -- (1) Your delay is not an indication of disinterest on God's part. The delay does not mean God has lost interest in you or your situation. God had a plan for Joseph's life and the delays in seeing the plan fulfilled did not mean God had lost interest and that it wouldn't be fulfilled. (2) Your delay has the potential to position you. During the delays God is forming us. While nothing was happening, something was happening. In the waiting time God is working. God is developing us. (3) What happens to you in your delay directly connects to what happens through you afterwards. What happened to Joseph, the delay of being imprisoned and the men he met there, positioned him to later end up on Pharoah's leadership team over all of Egypt. (4) Many of life's most valuable lessons are mined from the most difficult moments. There is purpose for your pain. He finished with this illustration. Sometimes life is like a plane in a holding pattern over the airport. The delay is for our good and our protection. The pilot and the tower know the purpose, but we don't. We just have to trust them even though we don't know the purpose. Paul said, "being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ" (Philippians 1:6 NKJV).
Please join us in praying that God will touch lives this Saturday night and Sunday morning in Otisville, MI! Also, please pray for safe travels and divine appointments as we go to the MIchigan Network Council in Battle Creek, MI.
Thank you so much for being our partners in ministry!
Together in His Service with You,
Bill & Beth
