The building was filled to overflowing!  I could hardly believe it as I walked into the building where we held our fire seminar in preparation for our upcoming gospel festival on March 22-24, that the people were sitting and waiting hours before we even started.  You could feel the expectations and the presence of the Holy Spirit in that place.  By the time I started preaching every chair was taken and people where standing outside listened intently to the word of God.  Our purpose:  to equip pastors and leaders with the fire of the Holy Spirit in order to be effective in sharing Jesus with their friends, neighbors, and family.  This is essential for the success of our upcoming Gospel Festival.  We are not just out to make decisions but disciples of Jesus.  I'm so grateful for my wife and the team that worked so hard during this seminar.  As well the Holy Spirit helped me the last day to preach 4 hours in very hot humid weather while personally praying and laying my hands on every single one of the leaders who came to receive the fire.  The last session of the seminar was spectacular as we saw how Jesus baptised his people into the Holy Spirit and fire.  "He (Jesus) will baptise you into the Holy Spirit and with fire." (Matt. 3:11). For the world shall be saved not by might nor by power but by the Holy Spirit. This is God's way. Thank you so much for your prayers and partnership. -Andrew
