THE SPRING 09 GARDEN NOW...

The Garden now... isn't she pretty?

Yellow wax beans

Bell Pepper blossoms

Cucumber blossoms

Sugar pod peas

Green Beans

Leaf lettuce

Jalepeno pepper blossoms

Romaine Lettuce

Tomatoes

We just LOVE the garden! God makes everything so awesome!
Just think, all of these different plants spring out of some intricate genetic information that is packed into the little seeds that go into the ground, die and spring to life in the form of some useful fruit for US to enjoy!!!
Marvelous!

THE EXTRAVAGANT HEN HOUSE

...it even smells good! The jasmine and roses fill the air with a sweet scent; perfect to hide any chicken yard odors!!!

This is from out on the hen house porch, stone path to the house. The jasmine has taken over! Lovely!!!

Sign for the ladies!

The hen house nesting boxes.

SPRING 2009 - BEAUTIFUL...

Even the peas are popping their heads above the ground!

Potatoes, the most delicious food known to mankind

Ahhh, fresh spinach!

The first tomato!!!

Baby leaf lettuce

Young cylindrical beets

Bell Peppers

Green Beans

Young Romaine lettuce

This year the garden is fenced so the peacock/hen and the chickens won't get the berries!

Year Two for the asparagus... next year we can pick and eat.

The Spring 2009 garden early on...

AREN'T YOU GLAD THAT SPIDERS ARE NOT BIGGER THAN US???

This is a banana spider that had just caught a victim. It's like poor Frodo, for those "Lord of the Rings" fans. It's really GROSS (but educational)!!!

HEALED BY JESUS!!!

Dave and Farida are neighbors to the area where the Ministry House holds its meetings. They have attended our church gatherings before. They attended our gathering last night and shared their wonderful story...

Farida delivered a baby a couple months ago and since that time she was not able to function properly due to continued seizures. The doctors couldn't help, they just gave her medication which didn't improve anything. She was mostly bed-ridden or in a wheelchair. Farida heard about the healings that were going on at the Healing Revival in Lakeland, Florida. She and Dave decided to go. They loaded up the family and some friends and went down there.

Farida was in such bad shape... she had a seizure in the parking lot before going in to the meeting. Medics came and wanted her to go in an ambulance to the hospital. They refused that and swiftly continued on inside to the meeting, before she could have another seizure. As worship was going on, they had just about given up for the evening when they saw a friend that they knew (Brian, visiting from China). He came over and just as Farida was about to slide into another seizure, Brian began to pray. Others joined and suddenly, Farida stood to her feet, arms extended upward and yelled! She could feel the Lord pull it out and off of her! She was instantly and completely healed! What an awesome testimony of the healing power of the Lord!

He is STILL in the business of His awesome signs and wonders.
All glory to the Lord!

Now Dave and Farida have been sharing their story with others...
what a mighty God we serve!

Gina and Sam

Sam is a young rooster that took to Gina at the start. She and he have a special connection!

JACK VISITED THE MINISTRY HOUSE!

It was our honor and pleasure to host Jack Elwood at the Ministry House
for the Christmas holidays.
Jack lives in Louisiana, currently, was a BRSM student and was a blessing to all who got to experience his love for the Father during the holidays!
Jack, you are a blessing to Jesus and to your brothers and sisters.
Merry Christmas!

CHICKEN RUN...

We have some of the coolest chickens in the world. Several of them we have had for years. We get a beautiful assortment of brown, tan, green, olive, and blue eggs from them. They have Aracauna blood in them which gives some of them green legs and causes them to lay eggs inwhich their shells are green/blue in color. So there truly is "Green Eggs and Ham"!!!

Each evening the chickens are allowed out of their large pen to forage in the fields. That event is dubbed, "Chicken Run" because they are so elated to get out that they run to the gate and pour out like they are racing toward a prize! We captured it on this video for all to enjoy!

THE MINISTRY HOUSE

THIS IS THE HOUSE (THE MINISTRY HOUSE) THAT WE BUILT! THE EXTERIOR SIDING IS COMPLETED!

COMPLETING THE SIDING ON THE MINISTRY HOUSE!

Completion of the siding on the Ministry House is at hand! Soon we will post the final "finished" pictures of it. It looks so very nice! All the trim has been repainted as it was looking a little grim in places.

Jesus is so good to us! We exist to worship and bring glory to Him!

ANDREA AND THOMAS FROM GERMANY

Welcome to two dear "family members" from our larger family of believers across the ocean in Germany.

Andrea and Thomas visited for a week at the Ministry House. What a pleasure it was to have them with us.

They live in a beautiful little town called Hassloch, Germany.

While in the states they enjoyed the beach, the trampoline, a wonderful church gathering and, of course, Chicken Run (when we let the chickens out to forage each evening).

GINA VISITS THE MINISTRY HOUSE

Gina is a Florida resident currently visiting the Ministry House for an undetermined period of time. Gina is a graduate of the Brownsville Revival School of Ministry Pioneer class. It is with pleasure that we welcome her to this place!

NEW VISITORS FROM TEXAS

Jeff and his children are visiting the Ministry House... Jeff is currently staying at the Ministry House until he gets settled in the area, having recently moved here from Texas. We are acquaintances with Jeff from the days at the Brownsville Revival in Pensacola, Florida.

His children enjoy the time here with the animals and the great outdoors...

THE CABINETS ARE FINISHED!

Well, here is the finished product of the cabinet refacing in the Ministry House kitchen. Note the cute stained glass window over the kitchen sink... charming1

CABINET UPDATE

Cabinet doors and hardware are all complete! It looks really nice! The final step will be cabinet trim which should add much! Once this is done, the interior is finished and we move outside to complete the siding/trim.

MINISTRY HOUSE CABINETS GET REFACED

WOW, WHAT A CHORE! THE KITCHEN CABINETS ARE ALL BEING REFACED AT THE MINISTRY HOUSE. THIS HAS TAKEN SEVERAL DAYS AND MANY HOURS OF LABOR!

THE RESULT IS CERTAINLY GOING TO BE WORTH IT ALL! THEY ARE TURNING OUT QUITE NICELY.

A TIME WITH THE RAVENHILLS

David and Nancy Ravenhill

Julie and Shane, David and Nancy Ravenhill

Those who attended the meetings experienced such a wonderful time with the Lord having David and Nancy Ravenhill, over the past few days, April 13 – 15, 2007.

David’s honest presentation of the Word was refreshing and encouraging. The times of worship together with the body that meets at the Ministry House was very special. We are ever thankful to the Lord for meeting with us and bringing this special couple to minister here.

We hosted a Men’s Breakfast and a separate Women’s Breakfast in which David shared with the men and Nancy shared with the women. It was a very special time at both places!

Nancy’s transparency and gentleness was so sweet to experience. Again, David brought an honest word and was so enjoyed by the brothers. Both of them are so wonderfully down to earth and it felt like they were family, having them here!

Thank you David and Nancy!
