Journey to Mississippi …a testimony to His Faithfulness and Calling…

Last fall I had a clear call to work with Diane in the Born to Serve conferences. It was a strange calling for me and I think even surprised Diane. The time leading up to leaving for the conference was completely chaotic with a crisis in my life almost daily. A good friend and sister in Christ with a prophetic gift, dreamed that the road to Mississippi was obstructed by many huge boulders and was very dark and stormy. As she and many others prayed for our mission, she saw the boulders roll away one by one and the road become light and sunny. It was 9pm the night before departure before I was certain I would be going.

The trip down to our sister State was filled with reading the history & vision of the citywide intercessory group Brookhaven Breakthrough that had sponsored the conference. We spoke of many things relating to our ministry in Brookhaven, praying and seeking His fresh anointing. Southern Mississippi hospitality warmed us even though the weather was cool and wet. I knew I was “home” when one of our hosts walked into the unlocked home of the other and yelled “Yuhoo---anybody home?” It reminded me of my childhood days in rural Georgia.

The facility for the meeting met our needs perfectly. Everything necessary and more was provided—even teacakes made from grandmas’ recipe box. Friday night was Spirit filled as intercessors from every denomination joined together for a powerful time of praise and worship led by Wendy Roberts. Diane brought the message of renewed alignment to God’s heavenly agenda and laid the foundation for Saturday’s teaching sessions. Saturday morning the room was full and the friendliness and hospitality of the entire group witnessed to our Lords presence with us. Wendy led worship and an anointing was released for moving forward in our Lord’s work. The Holy Spirit moved as many were catching the vision, receiving assignments and offering themselves to be vessels for Christ manifesting Himself in our world. Lives were touched, passion ignited and seeds of revival were planted.

Sunday morning found us travelling to Crystal Springs where Diane spoke at the Springs of Praise World Outreach Center. The praise and worship was led by, Patricia Beauvais, a truly gifted prophetic worship leader. After such preparation, hearts were open to hear the Lord’s message of repentance, renewal and revival. Afterward many responded to the Holy Spirit and received ministry. Diane was invited back for a weekend of ministry in April.

Sunday afternoon the team had a time of prayer and praise—evaluating and considering all that had happened and how the Lord was leading as we move forward. Monday we began our journey home praising and thanking Him for the way He greatly blessed each one who participated. It was a special blessing and privilege for me to be able to participate.

We are praying that our next conference location be prepared and ask that each one who reads this will pray with us for the next city.
