Dear Friends!

Blessings to each one of you!! As you read this letter, we are ministering in Australia! Holy Spirit has been making adjustments to our itinerary, as you know, but we so want His highest will so we say "Yes, Lord!" When He woke Jill up four nights in a row and told her not to go to New Zealand in March (but work on the book) or Germany in May (why not?), we were pondering this. Why didn't the Lord tell us before? We feel like He showed us that He put Germany on the calendar to hold the spot open for the "suddenly" of Holy Spirit to bring His higher purpose into the picture - Korea. When you read about our adventures in Holy Spirit, you'll understand!!!!

The Fruit of His Hands

Seoul, Korea

This was our first trip to Korea and our hearts were deeply moved by what we saw and what the Lord did! Scott Brenner also accompanied us on this trip to Seoul. He recently married Sung Hee, the Korean pastor's daughter, so it was a family reunion for him! Scott is a gifted, anointed Levite who recently moved to Dallas, Texas. "Draw Near to Me" is his recent CD that beckons us to come into a deeper intimacy with Jesus.

I always want to walk in integrity when reporting what I see on the road, but in the five years I have traveled with Jill, I have never been in a conference where I wore ear plugs for all of the meetings!!!! Over 1,000 people were crammed into a room that usually seated probably 650 or so. When the fire fell, the cries of the people were deafening. All I can say is that Holy Spirit moved mightily in Korea!

Ministry to Young Adult Missionaries at Dr. Cho's Prayer Mountain

This was an exciting and surprising privilege for all of us! We wanted to go to Prayer Mountain while we were there and the Lord gave us even more than we were asking for by being asked to minister there! You could sense the presence of the Lord and feel the prayer on the land.

As we quietly walked through the woods, we passed many little chapels built into the sides of the mountain. Outside most of the chapels laid a pair of shoes and the cries of intense intercession echoed throughout the woods, which pierced our hearts! It seems effortless for them to pray for hours ... even days! What other country do you know of that has such a massive army of prayer warriors on the wall for their nation and the world like Korea? There are many things they are praying for, including the restoration of North and South Korea as one nation.

We ministered to a crowded room of young adults who were being sent out as missionaries to many nations of the earth. When Jill asked the Holy Spirit to come, the intensity of crying out seemed unending. Their zeal and utter abandonment to Jesus was striking. Then Jill released a heart for the lost on the group and the intercession was deafening and lasted for almost an hour! Young people were kneeling face down, crying out, shaking, weeping in each other's arms, in trance-like states, and laid out all over the room as God pierced their hearts for souls. It was a wonderful commissioning time to the nations!

Rendezvous with Holy Spirit at the Young Dong Church

During ministry times, one wave of "fire" after another would envelop the entire room. Sometimes the room looked like a sea of bodies all laid out on the floor, including small children! At other times it looked like a strong wind had swept across a wheat field as God took down whole sections of the room sovereignly. There were deafening roars, radical shakings, weeping, jumping up and down, laughing, prophetic gesturing, "running" feet as if on "fire," trembling lips, doing forward bends like drilling for oil so to speak, and the heavy weight of God caused many to be on their faces weeping and crying out to Jesus. People left the meeting deep in thought with a greater love and passion for Jesus branded into their spirit.

Several men from the golf range next door, one of which was manifesting demons, were standing outside the church windows looking inside to see what all of the action was about!

City-Wide Pastors' Meeting

The Lord opened a door for Jill to minister to hundreds of pastors from all over the Seoul area. When Jill opened it up for ministry, they suddenly became a "human tsunami" descending upon us! It was shocking to see their unapologetic desperation! If we would have prayed for them all day, they would have stayed all day ... and still wanted more!

A New Strategy in Moving in the Anointing Was Explosive

Holy Spirit gave Jill a fiery new strategy in the prophetic during our meetings in Korea. After she gave a prophesy along with impartation to a prophetic intercessor, Jill handed the microphone to the intercessor to release prophetic proclamations and "fire" on the other prophetic intercessors in the room. An explosion took place that got our attention!

This strategy was also done to the youth and their leaders, the artists and musicians, pastors and elders, all of the men, all of the women, and the sons and daughters. Wave after wave of radical impartations and power surges happened all night long. Most of these people had never been on a microphone before!

An old war general in the church, who had only prayed intellectual prayers before, released "fire" into the room that night and again on Sunday morning!!! As he entered this new realm of authority with confidence and boldness, the people were so shocked and thrilled to see such a transformation in him that the place went ballistic!

Power Encounters at Shalom Presbyterian Church

One of the most powerful visitations came to the youth (30 and under). Every single one of them were laid out all over the altar area as "fire" plundered them with a gripping intensity - radical shaking, strong jolting, angelic encounters, healing of heart issues, stammering lips, agonizing crying, and some in such deep places that they looked lifeless as the sovereign hand of God encountered them.

When all of the pastors in the meeting came forward, the altar area was full! What ensued was the most dramatic power encounter of the meeting! All of them were laid out on the floor, some were rolling back and forth very fast as if their clothes were on fire, others were so gripped in their stomach that their legs shot straight up in the air, several hit the floor so fast that it looked like lightning struck them, and most of them were shaking, many were crying out until they were hoarse, or they laid there silently in deep places.

Our Prophetic Journey to the DMZ

Pastor Kim rented a bus and took 45 of us to the DMZ (demilitarized zone), which is a 5 mile strip of uninhabited land between North and South Korea. It is the most heavily armed area in the world with over 2 million troops stationed there. Imagine a bus full of zealous intercessors penetrating deep into the heart of such darkness, crying out for the gates to be opened so the King of Glory could come into a seemingly God-forsaken place.

We could feel the strong demonic oppression in the area as we drove through highly guarded checkpoints with machine gun toting guards even coming onto our bus to check us out. The gravel roads were lined with thick gnarled barbed wire fencing as well as land mines planted indiscriminately throughout the land to discourage defectors or unwelcomed visitors.

We did a prayer walk deep down into a mile long tunnel the South Koreans dug, which intersected with one the North Koreans abandoned after a defector revealed their secret. Standing guard at the end of the tunnel, on both sides of a small opening, were an American and a Korean soldier. We could only talk to the Korean soldier on our side of the opening and asked him if we could pray for his safety as a watchman for his country and he consented!

Upon returning from the tunnel, we gathered to sing praises to God and collectively cry out for the unification of Korea. It was such an irony that bus loads of playful children were on field trips there, totally oblivious to the impending danger and seriousness of this whole situation!

Through a set of high-powered field glasses, we were able to "secretly" peer into the most isolated nation on earth - North Korea. Not a soul was seen, not even a dog! Within the land there are 35,000 statues of the Communist ruler scattered throughout North Korea and people must bow in obeisance every time they see a statue. Food is as scarce as the rain and we were told that cannibalism exists for them to survive. During the Korean War, a train was derailed in what is now the DMZ area. There are two huge snakes that live in that lone engine; attempts have been made to kill them but it has been futile so far. What a prophetic picture that paints for this area!
