My health has improved and I am beginning to schedule a few ministry dates out of town. I am still writing. For those of you who have asked about my books, none are finished or published at this time.  Several of you have written or called and asked for me to come minister.  I am ready to set dates if you would recontact me to get them scheduled.

Canadians: Don't forget the Women Minister's International Conference on the 3rd weekend of October.  Details will follow soon.......

I am enjoying doing Awakening Schools of Discipleship and Pastoring our church with Joseph.  However, I am missing my friends on the road. Looking forward to seeing all of you as the Lord leads.

Love,

Carol

At 72 years old and almost 40 years of ministry I have had to take a sabbatical due to health problems. They could have been brought on because of my disobedience to the Lord about writing books. I have had diverticulitis for years and had been able to manage it with antibiotics.  Last January it became clear that I needed to have a colon resection.  This operation is a major stress on the human body.  They took 12 inches of my sigmoid colon out and as a result a chemical imbalance occurred in my body.  This imbalance caused my blood pressure to spike very high.  It has taken over 5 months to find out how to bring it under control.  I went through some very dark hours but the Lord's voice was always there to encourage me.  During this time God spoke, "I want you to take a years sabbatical to rest your mind and body and enjoy your family."  Then came those words I have heard so many times from Him through others and directly to myself: "I want you to write."  This mandate from the Lord has thrown me into quite a tissy because I don't like to read books and I have no idea how to write one.  I can't imagine anybody wanting to read anything I wrote. Since God is saying it, I will attempt to get a book or two written rather that being disobedient to the One I love the most. If you think of me, please pray that God will teach me how all of this is supposed to happen.  I have written about half of a book on mental healing and need strength and courage to just continue what I've started.  This is one of the hardest things that I have ever put my mind to.  Those who know me know that it is pretty hard. 

At this point I plan to do a tour in Canada in the Fall and the rest of the time will be writing, rest, and family. Who knows, I might even break down and put a new teaching on this webpage.  I know some of you will be glad. People actually read and get something out of the teaching articles I write. So watch for new teaching and books.  Pray that I can get a publisher for at least one book.  I know it sounds strange but I have never needed God anymore than I need Him now to help me do this. It just isn't me. I had rather do the work and let someone else write about it. I just wanted to let all of you know what was going on and why you haven't seen me in your cities.  It deeply humbles me when I get the emails wishing I would come to your city again.    I love all of you out there.  I hope to see you late this year or early next year. Thank you all for your love and prayers.

Our church, Awakening, has had the joy of providing for the needs of refugees in the south Dallas area.  These refugees are mostly from the Jorai people group from Vietnam and Cambodia.  They were forced from their homes by religious and political persecution.  We have been able to provide linens, furniture, food, and clothing and other items as needed.  They have captured my heart and I pray that the pictures will prompt you to pray for these precious people.

The children are beautiful as are the parents.

I have returned from my extended trip to the beautiful nation of Canada. God sent me there in 1982. Only

through his grace have I been able to stand in the warfare in that nation. God gave me women of excellence and families to mentor and to stand with me from Canada. I have ministered all over the world, but have never found the warfare that has assailed me in that nation. My love for the nation and its people was put so deep in my heart that I still have a red Maple leaf stamped in my heart.  I had  been schooled in the operation of the spirit when I went there. I understood warfare, and knew who my enemy was Thank God. It seemed like my words fell on deaf ears, and I was taken as an enemy to the organised church, when I really loved them and came to help them build. A church at that time  was considered biggggg if it had 300 members. Twenty eight years later it is still much the same. Last year God showed me an awakening was beginning. Souls begin to come into Jesus like I had not previously seen. This year the number of salvations have increased and I am so excited I can hardly stand it. The new generation is going for the works of the Spirit and witnessing and relationships.  I planted my 2nd

church in late 2008. We are seeing new Christians come into the kingdom almost daily. Yea Jesus ! Please keep the elders Lorna and Bill in prayer as they continue in discipleship every day. Pray for their protection and Gods wisdom. They are some of God best ! The people in the North country are hungry and always ready when we get there to receive more. Thank all of you for your support as I go to this nation. The people are generous but the exchange rate has always taken its toll on honoriums.  My heart

also wants to see a move of God in the Oakland area of California. I also have a burden for the Northwest. Washington and Oregon. If you are mature in the Lord and will to be in relationship with us for a season we will be glad to help you start a Spirit led church in any of these areas. God is calling for harvest and love and genuine discipleship for His people.  America needs our prayers and we will be beefing up prayer for our nation. It is time for us to unite and cry out to God for repentance of sin and advance the kingdom in America. Some of us have been praying for God to cleanse our nation for years and now he is exposing the enemy everywhere in our goverment. Keep shaking us Lord !Bring down the kingdomsof men and establish your kingdom in our land! Intercessors keep praying ! Let us hear from you via email or letter about what God is saying for you to do. I love the body of Christ in all forms. I turned 71 last week but still have some books and churches left in me.
