February
25, 2009: Heading on Out...
We
left early this morning heading south and then east to Houston,
TX....we will be stopping in Phoenix to see some friends who used
to pastor as church we poured much into when we were on the road.
Their young daughter traveled with us for a time when she was
being a rebellious pastor's kid....that is a huge passion of ours...to
see healing come to the children of pastors and elders and other
leaders in Church.
We
are asking for much fruit that remains from this trip....safety,
health and lives touched even as we make stops all along the way.
Maybe there will be someone in a truck stop who is ripe for salvation....that
is what the Lord is doing these days...what a thrill to be apart.
In Houston we are meeting with a group who has been praying for
their city for 15 years and they are seeing great breakthrough,
but now it is time for another level...sound familiar? He is taking
us all to another level....nothing is as usual...we are going
higher.
Our
next stop with be Oklahoma City where we will meet with a team
of intercessors who want to know more of God's plan to bring healing
to their city. So many is every city, county....small town who
are passionately pursuing God for His plan for the land they have
been given stewardship over.
Thank
you so much for praying....we will keep you informed and updated
with the proof of His hearing your prayer....He loves to show
His wonderful way working miracles.

1, 2009: Brief Update
Here
we are in Ozona, TX....where is that you ask? Somewhere in East
Texas and THAT is all we know. Will arrive in Houston on Tuesday.
Have had a tremendous trip....dinner with friends we hadn't seen
in 10 years in Phoenix....we are well...safe....sunny weather....
and very low gas prices...today was $1.89...BLESS THE LORD!!!
Thank you for teaming with us....may you receive in return all
that you pray for us.
PS:
Please pray for Nancy as she is having a severe allergy burning
in her left eye and her nose won't stop running.
March
5, 2009: Update
Just
a note to let you know that we arrived safely in Houston Texas
and will be here for meetings until Sunday. Nancy's allergies
are doing much better, thanks for praying. We all have had problems
sleeping, so you can pray for our sleep patterns to regulate.
Nancy is asking if you will please keep her daughter Wendy in
your prayers, she is in a recovery home and is working through
stuff. Thanks for praying we really appreciate you.

8, 2009: Houston Out...Ft. Worth In
After
an amazing weekend of intense, sweet worship and the nearness
of the Kingdom of Heaven...His Presence, we left Houston and are
heading via a Ft. Worth stop, to Oklahoma City for several days.
We will be ministering on Wednesday evening and then spending
Thursday praying for our host's restaurant. HOPEFULLY we'll get
to EAT at the restaurant too...that's just my thought. Hummm,
the flesh is very willing.....
We
have been doing well....just not sleeping well.... of course,
with meeting times going until 11pm, it's hard to gear down until,
well, later....so we are asking for safety as we ride to Oklahoma
City and SLEEP in the night season.
We
are grateful for who you are and your part in this ministry. We
love and bless you.

11, 2009: Such An Amazing God
Just
a few Fingerprints of God....
Last
night in Oklahoma City there was a "HUGE" storm going through...tornado
watch, high winds (a bit freaky in a RV) heavy rain and large
hail)...so we started praying....watched the weather map as things
changed. We felt NOTHING...the winds blew, the RV didn't...no
hail or heavy rain...no tornados...it was peaceful and we had
a tremendous night of sleep. Such a faithful Father!!
The
weekend was just amazing...we experienced such a new place of
worship....a heavenly conversation that we had never heard before...such
peace....several experience the reality of angels and heavens
beauty..the smells...the healing...I wasn't even exhausted after
a couple hours on the keyboard...such a new place...sweet! Met
folks that we knew were strategic relationships for the future...on
the same page...just a pleasure.
The
gas prices remain very low $1.69 in some places....
Yesterday
a truck totally cut us off....speeding up behind us, going around
and coming within a couple inches of the front of the RV as he
pulled in....Judy kept her cool and the Lord protected. Of course,
we were like yelling praises for a bit ....just grateful for the
times he sends another angel or 2 to ward off a collision. If
we had eyes to see all the times He does that we would be rejoicing
continually.
Schedule
for the next few days...
Heading
to 2 restaurants tomorrow....no not to eat (but hopefully get
to take doggy bags), but to pray. The owner, Mary Jane, is a precious
believer who knows the feeding of the masses is for more than
physical pleasure, it is to draw them to the Kingdom of God. So
we are praying for their business....for much fruit that remains
and since these businesses are blessed by the Lord, they are flourishing
in this season of financial upheaval. Then we will spend time
with her and several others tomorrow night in worship.
Thursday
we will be going to Arkansas City, Kansas for about a week...will
teach on the Redemptive Gifts, Burden Bearing and Discerning....
Forgiveness and you know, probably some things we don't even know
yet. This is a really fun group of people...they are question
askers and love to dig for deep revelation. Very excited!!
In
2 weeks we will be with Pete and Lynda Bowers in Arkansas on their
ranch...they have a ministry ranch....we will have a time of dedicating
the land. Not sure how or what that means, but ready to find out.
We
are sleeping better...thank you! Doing well physically.....Had
some friends pray for our bodies the other day....for our backs
and heads....to keep us whole and healthy.
Blessings
to you all....we love you....pray you are seeing MORE of the Truth
of the nearness of the Kingdom of God....His frequency, colors,
smell, light and healing and all His name includes.
March
19, 2009: Hitting the Road Tomorrow
Well,
this was such a surprising....HUGELY ministry filled time. Meant
to send updates all along the way, HOWEVER....we had time to breath,
eat, and minister one on one and groups. THE MOST excellent time
of raising up groups to carry on the prayer ministry, Had all
3 of the Sunday morning services....they all ran unto each other....a
tremendous time!!! We were given opportunity with generation prayer,
prayer for those who have been abused, prayed for brains...wow
what a time that was..... And MUCH forgiveness!!!
SO,
we are heading to Kingston, Arkansas tomorrow, to Pete and Lynda
Bowers for a week of ministry. They have a 94 acre ranch with
a barn totally restored for large groups....we are excited to
finally get to their ranch to dedicate and pray for the land.
It is about 5 hours by car.....sooooo, should be about 6 or 7
by RV. We are weary, weary, weary....they said the first few days
are to be refreshed....we said..."OK!!!"
Please
pray for safety again as we travel, rest when we get there.....AND
of course, MUCH fruit that remains....lives changed....even ours.
We
love and bless you.....

31, 2009: Breaking Camp Tomorrow - Heading to Cincinnati
We
are so grateful for the extra prayer you have so diligently given
for the weather while here in Kingston, AR. This has been such
a sweet time connecting with the hidden gems here in the hills.
Many have been called here and don't yet know why....but the Prophets
have said this is an end-time place of refuge and they are preparing....they
are building homes throughout the hills...there are small churches....house
churches...precious intercessors who are "unknown, BUT well known
for such a time as this." We have come into a place of deep love
for these people and know we will often return to just join with
those the Lord has brought here.
Saturday
night it snowed and froze...BUT that did not keep people away
from the potluck and time of worship...SUCH a precious time of
dancing and celebrating and worshiping....all ages...many teenagers...we
were stunned at the passion and hunger that pours from these people.
We have been honored to be here.
It
will take about 3 days to get to Cincinnati....we have found out
that our RV roof is damaged and we need a totally new roof, but
you could pray for a divine healing....we are going to where we
bought it 10 years ago...we are praying they will be able to help.
Pete Bowers has been such a blessing in doing the things in the
RV that we as women haven't been able to do... Grateful for the
men who have SOOOO helped us!
Health-wise..there
are some "issues" we would LOVE to have the Lord deal with SOON....He
is faithful!!! We remain strong and excited about the coming weeks
we continue going to where He has appointed us to go.
We
love and bless you....thank you so much for your continued teaming
with us...

April
3, 2009: On to Cincinnati
HEY,
Greetings team....some miracles to share from our say at this
RV dealership... first of all...WE DON'T NEED A NEW ROOF.....second,
every little thing we needed repaired, we now have all FIXED UP!
Thank you Lord for Godly men who are good at these repairs. There
have been several throughout this month on the road that have
been tremendous gifts from the Lord...all the way to caulking
so we don't leak in this VERY wet weather, to putting cupboards
back on the wall... to putting the door back on so I don't have
to open and slam the door while speeding down the interstate because
it has popped open. Ah, the ways He causes us to hang on to Him.
Today
we are heading to Cincinnati to be a part of an Evangelistic Crusade
for the weekend. OH LORD, that many, many be saved, made whole
and set into their destiny!!! Thank you for joining us in that
prayer...prayer for wisdom, strength and the FEAR of the Lord,
which is the beginning of wisdom. May El Elyon be magnified greatly
through our lives!!!
Love
and Shalom blessings...
April
6, 2009: It's Snowing
Yes,
and we are driving to just outside of Erie, PA....where we are
going is supposed to be in low 30s for a couple days....so, you
know how to pray....please, safety while we drive....and that
we will connect with who the Lord has planned for us to connect
to for His purpose. We are going to spend a few days with Nancy's
youngest daughter and family.
We were blessed to be apart of a Revival in an area outside of
Cincinnati, OH. A small Body of believers with a large heart for
the whole community....reaching out to the lost and wounded. The
pastor had watched Judy skate when he was young. The Lord put
it on his heart to look for her and found her website. He wrote
an email asking if we could come help share the gospel in his
community. Judy skated in to share her testimony...it was a Divine
time of salvation, healing and refreshing for those who came.
We met a group of young people who are passionate worshippers,
ministering in music and the arts....such an honor to pour into
this next generation of warriors including some very young, pre-teens
who are so hungry for the Truth of who the Lord is and who they
are. The Lord connected our hearts with these little ones...they
were listening intently, especially when we spoke to them about
how important and precious they are. We ALL need to know that........
Going
to sign off now so you can join us in prayer...thank you soooo
much...we continue to thank the Lord for this team of pray-ers.
Blessings, wisdom, and joy and more obvious seeing His fingerprints
in this new week.

7, 2009: Safe and Sound
Yes
we are...and snowed in...oh well...supposed to be high 40s tomorrow
and not low 30s....so grateful FOR SPRING!! Thanks for praying...
April
13, 2009: Back to Ohio
Today
is our last day in PA with Nancy's family...the wonderful thing
is we got here several days before the family (they had been on
vacation) and had that time to rest. We have been praying for
the land...walking around blessing it and the house.
Tomorrow
we head to Eaton, OH for several meetings with a church that we
have been with from the beginning of traveling together. Many
of them come out of the German Baptist culture, much like Amish,
about 25 years ago. They have built a family of believers that
truly know the difference between rules and law, and the revelation
of living in the Kingdom of Heaven. They are always ready for
any and everything we can impart....this will be a tremendous
time. AND THEY HAVE A GRAND PIANO!!! I wrote Walls and Break Every
Yoke in this sanctuary on this piano. Hummm, would love to write
another song....has been a very long time.
We
are doing well...the "health issues" have been taken care by Jehovah
Rapha... goodness, are we grateful! Thank you for praying...even
Dr. Clayton knew the Lord would take care of us...always a blessing
to talk with a doctor who includes the heart of the Lord in his
diagnosis. The RV is running well...no more leaking from the roof,
no more hanging on the the door as we travel down the highway.
THE LORD IS GOOD!!!!
We
will be having 2 meetings with the ladies during the week and
will minister at the Sunday service. Please pray for Throne Room
experiences, hearts ready to hear, a great harvest...deliverance
and for "Words in Season" for these precious ones in the middle
of the corn fields in Ohio.
Thank
you for continuing to pray for our traveling, health for our bodies
AND ears to hear Father's plan as we minister.

April
22, 2009: Heading West
This
morning we left Eaton, OH....such a fruitful, restful, refreshing
time on this land. We love these people and have such history
with them. The most amazing thing is the generational blessing
with the children who were young the first time we came, and have
grown into mature believers who are remaining here and becoming
a part of the leadership of this church. We had such a wonderful
time with the pastor and his wife...sharing, answering questions,
discussing, discussing, discussing.... had the opportunity to
meet with several young people, and a couple who is walking through
restoration... we have known and loved these folks for 19 years.
Many in the church have come out of the Amish or German Baptist
(much like Mennonite) churches. They have sought hard the way
of Truth that leads to FREEDOM from religion and resting is the
finished work of Christ. Their backgrounds, with such righteousness
and high morals has caused their land surrounding the church to
be peaceful and refreshing....an open Heaven rests over the church...and
YES, the time on the Grand Piano was SO EXTREMELY SWEET....had
to go into the church last night to play the piano and worship
just a bit more...very hard to leave.
At
this time we are back at the RV dealership....so grateful to be
able to stop here before we start across the country... a couple
of things still need serious repair. Somehow the batteries again
aren't working... it has been so amazing to watch Father actually
start the engine after several tries and nothing happening. AMAZING...just
stopping, calming down....and praying....hummmm...then He starts
it up. We have been so safe, so protected and we greatly thank
you for teaming with us...surrounding us with prayer....SO grateful!!!
Tomorrow
we will head southwest to Laughlin, NV where we will be at a Skaters
Reunion for a few days. Judy has great favor and many opportunities
to share what Christ has done in her life...they always ask her
to pray for the meals.... ahhh, great time for sharing the gospel.....it
is an open field ready for harvest. So we are very excited about
what the Lord is planning while there. We plan to stop in St.
Louis tomorrow to pray under the arches. A man in Arkansas had
a prophetic word for us that he saw us standing under the arches
facing west and declaring what the Lord gave us to prophetically
declare. Tomorrow, Lord willing we will stop there. Will let you
know how this all strategically plays out.
Please
join us in prayer as we travel...it has been awesome traveling
and praying across the country...this IS a blessed country still
and we continue to pray for the land....healing from the defiling
and emotions it has picked up from the iniquity of people, so
the people can be healed and saved. We are asking for strength,
safety, sight to see what the Lord wants us to see and as we go.
We
love you.....bless you....may you receive the same blessing that
you are praying for us.

23, 2009: Finally on our way...
A
quick update....we had to stay the night at the RV dealership
as a part was sent in....NO MORE DEAD BATTERY for no reason. There
was a switch that was shorting out and cutting off the battery...very
crazy stuff, but so glad these men know how to check the right
things out to find the problem. So, it is now 1:30pm and we are
heading to St Louis to see what the Lord does under the St. Louis
Arch. Will most likely be there in the morning sometime. We are
asking for prayer for the right place to park the RV on the OTHER
side of the river, the quick ability to manuver through the downtown
streets, and quick hearing so we can declare what the Lord wants
released over the waters and toward the west. This is a called
the gateway to the west...it is an honor to have this opportunity.
Love
and blessings.....
Abby

April
24, 2009: It Was Such A Great Time!!!
After a couple hours of driving around St. Louis trying to find
a place to put the RV and following signs that were VERY confusing...actually
a bit backwards....we got down to the Arch. SUCH a very powerful,
amazing time....declared and prayed under the arch facing toward
the West...WOW...it was JUST AWESOME!!! Called for many who have
yet to be saved to come into the Kingdom of God before the setting
of the sun....For the alignment of the people with the Lord God
so that there would be an aligning of the will of God in the USA....and
since California leads the way in this country, so a realigning
of the people with the will of God there. AND we declared "LIFT
UP YOUR HEADS oh you gates...be lifted up you everlasting doors
and the King of Glory SHALL come in....WHO is this King of Glory...The
LORD strong and mighty....THE LORD mighty in battle!!!" And the
rest of Ps 24.....SO excited to see the verifiable changes that
will take place because of the Prophetic word, partnering with
a large team of people...that would be you!!! Pictures are posted
below.
Much love and gratitude!

26, 2009: Urgent Prayer...Sunday Evening
Greetings....we are right above Oklahoma City right now...we had
to stop because of extremely high winds and the threat of tornados.
There are 3 super cells expected to converge...a funnel has been
spotted at an F4 or F5 level...that is immense.... heading to
the city....we are northeast a bit of there....asking for prayer
covering for not only us, but the cities that are right now being
told to battan down and get into your tornado shelters. We are
confident we are safe.... always grateful for the prayer covering....will
give a glory story report tomorrow....
April
27, 2009: Now That Was Miraculous!!!
All we can say is "THE fervent prayer of a righteous WOMAN, is
heard and answered!!!" Ok, so that was a Robbins translation.....
But we just want you to know these storms were huge, high velocity
winds...115 MPH....expecting F4 and F5 tornados...as we watched
on TV as an invisible tornado flew across the open fields and
a small community exploding electric boxes. All of the storms
started calming within 20 minutes of sending out the prayer bulletin...the
winds calmed....there was still alot of Lightening... very little
hail and NO TOUCH DOWNS of tornados...no injuries. We had very
little lightening and the winds calmed greatly where we were parked!!!
The whole area was safe because of your prayers...thanks so much!!!!
THANKS SO MUCH!!!! Much Love!
April
30, 2009: At Almost FINAL Destination...
We arrived safely in Bullhead City, AZ, which is near Laughlin,
NV.
Along the way we felt the Lord wanted us to stop to see a few
friends. One in Kansas City, MO....Hannah Bailey, who is in school
there and doing excellently. It was good to see her school and
church she is apart of...even got to go to church with her. Now
that was awesome!! Another friend we know from when we lived in
Baltimore, MD....Sherry and her husband, now live in Tulsa, OK....we
stopped and spent a couple hours with her. It had been 6 years
since we had seen her....such a good time renewing our friendship.
Oklahoma City was next, where we visited briefly with Judy's adopted
niece Kristi....right there in the parking lot of McDonald's we
got to pray for her....the Lord is faithful to complete what He
has started. During this whole trip we were totally protected
from all the tornadic weather....thank you so much for praying
with us...we watched the Lord move large storms away from us.
That was SO EXTREMELY AWE provoking!! Such a Faithful Father!!!
So now, back to our arrival in Bullhead City.....for the first
time in our RV living/traveling, the RV backed up into the Honda....YES,
a HUGE dent right on the hood. The amazing thing was a lady came
out from her RV immediately saying her brother-in-law is a mobile
body repairman....so within half an hour George showed up. He
checked everything out...said it would be able to be towed behind
the RV as usual to get it back to Redding for repair. He did say
if there was any trouble he would come and make it moveable. Father
is such a protector, and we are grateful! Guess what?------George
is a Christian.
In light of the recent "pandemic" of swine flu, we are praying
for wisdom while here in the casinos and associating closely with
so many people....if things get out of control, we will start
home early, but we are praying for a completion of "why" we are
here in the first place....many need to be introduced to the King
of the Kingdom of God. Please pray with us for wisdom....health,
an anointing for harvesting the ones that are ready to say "YES!"
To confessing Jesus as Savior and Lord....and healing for those
that need healing.
We again say a huge thank you for your part in this trip.....

May
3, 2009: WE ARE STAYING...Thanks so much for praying!
Tomorrow starts the Skaters Reunion and all is well. We have had
a couple miraculous blessings during the first few days here.
The RV park we are staying is had a special coupon that took $75
off the cost of a week in the park. Another sweet thing is because
the car we had rented broke down, they took a day off the cost
AND a half tank of gas....fingerprints of Father's favor...we
are GRATEFUL!! He is so faithful!!!
We will start heading home on Thursday and get home sometime on
Friday....that is a must because Mom turns 87 years old on Friday.
Again we are grateful for all the time you have spent in prayer
as we have been traveling. The fervant prayer of a righteous one
sure does make an effect!
Love and blessings.....

5, 2009: Need a Bit of Prayer...
First of all, a HUGE glory story!!! A young man got saved today....yes
he did....this morning at breakfast. Today He met his Savior and
Lord.....OH BOY, we love how the Lord works!!! Many more need
the salvation of the Lord.
Now, remember the big ole dent in the car when "someone" backed
into it? Well, it is a bit crooked on the "blue ox," the hitch
that we pull the car on, and the light hook up got damaged by
the hit....a must when pulling a car. So, could you pray with
us for the right person to help us get something so we can head
home on Thursday....Beyond ready to come home! AND just so you
are grateful for where you are living ....it is now 106 degrees
here in Laughlin. HOT!!!
PS....It is now early evening....miraculously this afternoon the
husband of one of the skaters, who has a RV, came to our site
and worked on the cables that connect the lights from the RV to
the car. He rewired and siliconed them and told us to wait until
the morning to see if they work. Sooo....in the morning we will
see just what the Lord has done!!! That takes care of the lights.
Keep praying for the alinement of the hitch and the car; it seems
a little off. We tried 6 different repair shops and they are all
busy. We are praying and feel that the car will tow properly behind
the RV. We are going to test it out in the morning.
AND another huge glory story!!! We won tickets for 2 at the dinner
buffet.... we paid for one and sat down. An older lady who was
a skater years ago sat down with us....through the conversation
it was so evident that she was ready to receive the "gift of eternal
life!" So after dinner there "just happened" to be a lounge chair
sitting back from the slot machines.....right there she received
Jesus as her Lord and Savior. What a miraculous day....the Kingdom
is growing and you are a part of the increase.
May
7, 2009: Another Glory Story and a Very Interesting Prayer
Request
WOW, such a wonderful breakfast....another lady, so precious....came
into the Kingdom of God this morning., confessing Jesus as her
Lord and Savior. Now that makes breakfast a worthwhile meal!!!
This has been such a fruit FILLED time. She has been sick for
awhile and needs physical healing also. Please pray for these
3 who are new believers that they will grow and flourish. That
they will be drawn deeper into Father's love. THANK YOU We have
grown to love so many of these folks...the Roller Derby family,
and that is exactly what this is. Judy officiated and I was able
to sing at a memorial for one of the old time skaters...the Lord
used this time in such a sweet way. What we are finding is you
don't have to just PREACH the Gospel...you can live the Gospel
and lives are touched because the Kingdom of God is near.
The reunion is over, but due to Divine plan, we have a couple
in the RV with us...he is fixing our severely burned electric
cord....a miracle!! Last night when we got back from the dinner,
our electric was off....that has never happened....the electric
cord started popping and blew again. These friends from the reunion
came up to help...he is VERY good with all RV functions because
they have owned one for many years....he fixed the lights cord
for the car/RV hook up that you were praying for. We used the
generator last night and this morning...it is now almost 100 degrees
and it is 10am. He said this cord had melted together inside....the
Lord has miraculously protected us from a fire. Please pray for
his wisdom and ability AND that we can begin our trip home SOONER
THAN SOON!! But this is a Divine connection with these folks,
so whatever Father has planned...I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST
...right!?
We are grateful for the scheduling of the Lord...a bit surprising
at times isn't it.
