Afternoon lovelies,

So we've started getting the house tidy and clean for leaving it on tuesday. Everyone has been pitching in, Ems been just brilliant shes amazing. We have been seeing a lot of people again this week, saying goodbyes. I,Izzy was helping at our school of creativity conference, which was AMAZING. So many creative people under one roof, and even people who didnt know they were creative in some areas were finding out new things about themselves. The speakers were amazing. I was doing portraits alongside people doing singing telegrams, healing art and creative writing. We got to speak into peoples lives and prophesy about what God has for their future and how he sees them. So that was tuseday to thursday and yesterday we started cleaning. Last night we went for dinner with a couple in the church here. We had a bbq, it was yummy, then homemade creme brulee for desert. We had a great evening and the boys all got to go in their hot tub. Today I was at the healing rooms for the last time. The healing rooms experience has been life changing for me. Seeing God move every week in hundreds of peoples lives will change a person. I have NO doubt that healing is for today, Jesus said 'Go to the lost, confused people right here in the neighborhood. Tell them that the kingdom is here. Bring health to the sick. Raise the dead. Touch the untouchables. Kick out the demons. You have been treated generously, so live generously' So that is what we should do. The healing room has provided a place for God to bring health to the sick for years, in person and on skype and everyone who comes in leaves feeling blessed, and as a bonus most people leave healed.
Today me and my team leader prayed for many people, all with high pain levels, some that have come from far far away to meet Jesus and be touched by Him. SO many people got healed! It was amazing. backs and necks and hips and feet and allsorts. It was so easy. We just told the pain to go in Jesus name and it did! Almost everyone we prayed for got healed. They had that smile when they are testing it out like 'oooo wow it actually worked'.One lady who had never had prayer before came over and God healed her elbow, wrist, back and neck, she left pain free. Another lady had had pain in her neck and back for 35 years, we just invited Holy Spirit, she fell over and when she got up she was HEALED! No more pain. Thank my Jesus. A man who was a driver called Rory came in in a lot of pain, he said he is often crying in his cab because of the pain level. It was an 8/10. He left us pain free. We went next door into the waiting/encounter room where there was probably about 150 people waiting for prayer, so the prayer servants all spread around the room and started praying for people for about 5 minutes per person. The 1st lady we came to was sitting next to a child, we got her to lay her hand on the old lady and command the pain to go, she said a simple prayed and the lady was in tears, her hip painthat hs caused her to limp badly which we saw as she got up from ehr chair) had almos gone. The child prayed again for her hips then again for her arthritus and the old lady was pain free. She went off for a walk down the corridor to try out her new hips. :) We then prayed for another 5 or so people, one of whom had tennis elbow. It was painful to lift anything. So we prayed maybe 3 times, and it was gone. I had a word of knowledge that a lady had back and neck pain, so i went over and asked her if she did, she said yes a lot. So i prayed for her once, and all the pain left, meanwhile her daughter was getting rocked by God and He was taking away all her fear. She danced for the 1st time with out fear of pain, and without fear of people. It was beautiful.
So it was wonderful last day in the healing rooms. Chris Gore and Joaquin Evans have done an amazing job following Holy Spirits lead.

We are going out for say goodbye to our lovely friends Tim, Laura and their son Joshua now. Then we are out for dinner with Heidi and Antje. What a lovely day.
Thank You for reading. Love you all

16.55 Sunday afternoon.

The last few weeks have been an emotional rollarcoaster. We went to the redwoods, had heidis birthday party, were knighted and commissioned by Bill Johnson and Kris vallotton on friday, we graduated on Monday, had lots of coffee dates and goodbye parties, the tears just keep coming, and there will be more to come this week. Every time i say goodbye to someone my heart hurts as i do not know when i am going to see them again. I have to drink more water than usual because the tears are dehydrating me.

We said goodbye to some of our favourite people on tuesday,Ben and Sarah. They have gone to Florida for a long holiday with sarahs family and then they are going back to Austrailia and we won't see them for a long time. It was a hard goodbye.
On wednesday I had prohetic portrait training, which Theresa Dedmon took, she showed us how to sketch out a face and use pastel to create a portrait. It was good training, I am going to be doing portraits at the Bethel School of Supernatural Creativity conference next week, i'll also be ushering, so i get to hear Patricia King and Shawn Bolz speak on arts and the Kingdom.

On Friday we had our close friends Dave and Justines's goodbye party which was fun and then some of the guys went to Bethel to hear a speaker called Hugh Ross speak, who is the founder of reasons to believe. He is an amazingly smart man. (http://www.reasons.org/dr-hugh-ross.html) They came home very late and were up talking about it with our friend Mark Proeger, there were a lot of LONG words going around! The boys went to hear him again Sat morning and loved it.

Saturday afternoon we went to whiskey town lake for our awesome revival group pastor, Crystal's birthday. It was a hot day so perfect for a bbq on the beach by the lake. lovely. Then about 10 of us went to a new frozen yoghurt place down town called 'spoon me'. It really yummy, me and my lovely friend Heidi went to its grand opening the other night and sampled a LOT of the yoghurt. it was SOOO good, and then we bought a crepe.

Today we went to church and Bill J spoke about Soloman and wisdom. He really feels like this season we are going to need supernatural wisdom, and he spoke about longevity and finishing well. It was a great talk!! Our good friend Lynda left after church, so that was another hard goodbye.:(

Liam has gone out to play football with Josh, Adam and their friend Luke, while Em and I have been sunbathing, but we had to come in as suddenly dark clouds appeared and a storm decided to come.

Thankyou for reading about our week, we hope you had a lovely one.
God Bless you all
love Izzy xx

Hello everyone!

Sorry it's been a while since we last posted. The last few weeks have flown by, it's been crazy. Most of the last few weeks have been Spring Break so not much has been happening school wise. We had a really nice break though, the weather got hot again which was most welcome and we managed to finish all our homework! A great feeling to have finished it all.

While on Spring Break we also got the chance to go to a John Crowder conference in a town not too far away called Chico. The event was a three day thing and we managed to go on the Friday and Saturday. We had an amazing time. It was great to hear and see John in the flesh, and his teaching was brilliant. The way he outlined and unpacked the Good News was exciting. We really had a great time, spending time with wonderful people, getting to see some of Chico, and most importantly, hearing more and becoming more aware of what Jesus accomplished on the Cross.

The first half of this week we still had off school as the church hosted a Leaders Advance. This is a huge 3 day event where pastors and leaders from all round the world gather to hear teaching and to generally mix around making connections. Izzy and me volunteered for 2 days to man the bookstool, which was great. We had a great time chatting a little to some of the leaders. We met some great people from the UK and America; from Brighton, Southampton, and Detroit to name a few.

The culmination of the Leaders Advance was a meeting on Thursday morning, that attempted to bring together leaders and connect them with us, school of ministry students. So the room was broken into regions of America and the world, and students were invited to come along if they thought or knew they wouldn't be coming back to Bethel next year, which included us. It was a really useful meeting, especially for us as we're not entirely sure what our next step is and we managed to meet some great people from Bath who we're looking forward to connecting with when we get home.

Thursday and Friday we were finally back at school. Thursday we had a great time with Pastor Bill, we're going to miss him so much. He proffered some last minute wisdom to us which was amazing, very useful. And Friday we had a special guest by the name of Mario Murillo, who encouraged us all as we leave Bethel and go off around the world, to stay strong.

Our evenings have been busy too, with various events going on. Thursday was BSSM's got talent, where we watched a host of talented ministry students perform various things such as songs and spoken word. Was a good time. And Friday night was Adoria Fashion show, where our friends Sarah and Taff were modelling some dresses. The night was really great, Sarah and Taff did amazing and looked like proper models as they strutted down the catwalk!

This weekend is fairly hectic for us, as we have various things going on. Tonight it's both the school vs staff Basketball game which is sure to be good fun and we'd love to go see an exhibition by some friends of ours called Life Unscripted. They're both on at the same time so we'll be practicing our bi-location skills! And monday sees one of the most important events of the year for me, being English, as it's the school Football game, 1st years vs 2nd years. So, hopefully I'll get to play some part in the game. The game is preceded by a UK BBQ at Paul and Sue Manwaring's house.

We only have one week left at school now! Crazytown. This year has gone so fast. We're determined to make the most of it though and get everything we can out of our final bit of time here. After school finished we'll be here for another 2 weeks to bring everything to a close and hopefully get a great tan! But in all seriousness, it's really bittersweet as we're looking forward to coming home and seeing our friends and family and eating some delights we've missed so much! but we're so going to miss the friends who have become like family to us from here. Please be praying for us in our last week as we seek to finish on a high.

Thanks for reading, hope you all have a blessed weekend. Do get in touch if you can, we love hearing from people.

Grace and Peace

Izzy and Liam
