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
Izzy and Liamxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

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

Gooood Morninggggggggggg,

This week has been amazing. i want to start by showing you a clip from a meeting i was at last wednesday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL96l-MGa5U&feature=share
Isnt it amazing!!! If you just skipped over the link to read my blog, dont! go back, click on the link and watch it all the way through. you wont regret it.

Last week was a very busy one. we were out every night at different friends for dinner, we had bring and share(pot luck) house group, sheesh kebabs and salad at heidi's, apricot chicken at ben and sarah's, and chicken pasta again with ben and sarah, and others i cant remember. But we have eaten well all week.
The wednesday night mandatory healing rooms meeting was cool. we worshipped then the leaders got people up who hadnt had words of knowledge( words about someone God tells you that you didnt know before,eg. diabetes, back pain) for healing before. So about 10 people went up. the leader Josh stevens got them all to call out a word for people in the room, so they did and lots of people stood up with the pain/illness they were calling out. we prayed and many got
healed. Thankyou Jesus.
I was in the healing rooms again on saturday, it was a wonderful day, Holy Spirit was definately doing something. Lots were getting healed, from crippling arthritus, to deaf ears opening.
My team prayed for lots of people, we had words of knowledge for a lot of the people that came to us for prayer, a lot of the time people write down on their form only 1 thing that needs healing, when actually they have other things wrong with them. So God told me about a mans knee that hurt, so i asked him about it and he said yes he had pain in his left knee. So we prayed and Jesus healed him.
We had a lovely lady named Jodi come in and she had a really bad back, it was a 8/10 in pain, so as we prayed the pain went down to a 4 and then to a 1!! I then had a word of knowledge about neck pain, so i asked if she had neck pain, she said yes. So i put my hand on her neck and commanded the pain to leave. We asked her how it felt and she moved it around and said 'wow, it feels amazing'. we also prayed for her stomach, she'd had a historectomy that was making her tummy area enlarged and painful. After we prayed she said it felt different, much better and something was definitely happening. We also prayed for a man with tennis elbow, who had a pain level 4,God healed that all up, and no more pain! We asked him if he had any pain anywhere else, he said his foot was numb a bit from a trapped ciatic nerve, so i placed my hand on his foot and we prayed. He said it felt different after, said it was feeling better. He left really happy.:)

On skype people were getting healed. My friend ruth wrote about this after her time on skype:

'16-year old boy was dying from brain cancer. He was unconscious & unable to move and speak. Got to pray for him over skype and he opened his eyes, said 'mum' and squeezed his mother's hand! Also saw eyes & arthritis healed, 4 legs grow out, hearing improve, other cancer symptoms improve, lumps in throat disappear, shoulders healed, knees get better, backs, necks, heart pounding stop and more!! Thank you Jesus!!'


So Goooooooood Jesus!

Church was really good yesterday, it was Easter sunday, and Bill was speaking, he started off with saying he's never been any good at easter sunday preaches. It was funny. We ended up praying for each other and Bill spoke a little bit. The worship was amazing. Brian Johnson led.
Sunday lunch was at our friend Antje's with Lynda and her cooking, we had LAMB! they dont cook hamb here, so it was amazing. so yummy. Antje is German, so traditionally has lamb on easter sunday. Then in the afternoon we went to visit our good friend Tim in hospital. He has stage 4 liver cancer and other problems including fluid build up, He is amazing, and full of faith for his healing. We are praying for him everyday. Please keep him in your prayers. thankyou.

Well its monday morning and I, izzy, have a meeting in a few hours about publishing a book with Lynda! We are meeting up with a lady who has written, illustrated and published a childrens book. She's going to give us feedback on ours which is exciting.

Hope you all have a blessed easter week. He has risen!!!!

God loves us not because of who we are, but because of who He is.

Author Unknown

Our beloved readers, we are so thankful for you.

Here is a link, its a sketch about Gods grace, please watch it to the end, its really impactful.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhoFEuw2GPA&feature=share

This week I, izzy was impacted by the love and faithfullness of God to his children. I have just finished the book Heaven is for Real. Its about a 3 year old boy who, whilst being operated on, goes to Heaven, and the event that happened in and around that time of his life. His parents gradually over months asked him questions about his experience to find him answering things about heaven that he would never have known from the bible at three years old. It blew my mind. The reoccuring theme in his answers is love. God loves us so much.

I was in our Friday night service at Bethel this weekend, Joaquin Evans was speaking, and when i say speaking, he was calling out words of knowlege and God was healing people all over the room. He got a few of the people who had been healed up on stage to tell what had happened. One man who went up was an English man called John (ive changed his name) his back had been healed. Joaquin called his daughter up on stage, who was a fellow student of ours, and prophecied over them. It was amazing. I found out later that John had become a christian that night. What a night for him. Saved and healed in one meeting. My friend, his daughter was ecstatic.

I got home from church at 11.30pm that night, church was CRAZY. SO GOOD. Holy Spirit was in a gooooooooooood mood.:)

The next day I was in the healing rooms, as i usually am on a saturday morning at 8.00am. It was an incredible time of seeing Gods hand on peoples lives. My group leader Elizabeth and our group of 4 prayed for many people who had come in for healing, from pain in the back to tumours in the brain. We prayed and prophesied over them, and saw lots of them completely healed! Thankyou Jesus. My group leader moved halfway through to do skype so i moved to another group. The man being prayed for by them happened to be John, my friends dad. So he said his back was still completely cured, no more pain. They led him into an encounter with Jesus, in which he invited Holy Spirit into his life. Then we prayed for his knees which were pretty painful, I think we prayed twice, and the pain was gone! Then we prayed for his ankles which got completely healed, then his shins, which were painful from driving for many years, they got healed, then we prayed for the most painful thing, his ingrown toe nail. This was a 10/10 in pain he said. It hurt a lot walking into the room. So we asked him to take off his shoe and sock and we commanded the pain to go. I think we pray 3 times. The pain went from a 10 to a 0! During this time God had been talking to him, telling him he was totally loved, and God told him how proud He was of him. We all hugged and John left to go and tell one of the testimony team what happened to him.
Our leader came back over 10 minutes later and said that John hadnt even noticed his toe in walking across the room. So the pain had gone so much that he forgot about it. Praise Jesus!!

That was just one testimony of many from saturday morning.

Sunday morning we were in Church at Bethel, we had Danny Silk talk about Favour. Worship was amazing, led by William Matthews. His voice is so lovely. He has an album coming out soon with his own songs on, i definately recommend it.

Today I went to my friends suprise birthday lunch which was fun, then went to the dollar cinema to see Gnomeo and Juliet, an animated film with loadsss of famous people in. It was sweet.

Liam is out with our friend Mark tonight and i am going to get on with some homework.
This year has been so amazing at Bethel and its so strange that in less than 2 months we will be back in Cheddar. We are happy to be going home but sad to be leaving, so its bittersweet really.

God Bless you all, i hope you have a wonderful week, full of the joy of the Lord and encounters with your heavenly Daddy :)

Hey everyone.

Sorry we haven't posted for a little while. The last week has been quite busy because we had Izzy's birthday! We had an amazing party on saturday afternoon, where we held an open house with people dropping in most of the afternoon. It was great and thankfully the weather played it's part so we were able to use the back garden and the BBQ! Thanks for everyone that came and made Izzy's birthday a real special time.

We also had an awesome week at school. Bill spoke to us on Tuesday, which was brilliant. As we're drawing near to the end of term here, it feels like Bill in particular is really laying down some stuff for us to take away as we all head out in various different directions. This week he spoke from 2 Samuel 6 and the priority of ministry to the Lord.

Wednesday saw Kris speak to us from 2 Samuel 13 and the lessons we can learn from David not confronting Amnon, which led to Absalom killing Amnon. Kris went on to unpack this and how seeing someone else's actions, maybe a mother or father figure, can become our reaction. So in the case of David, he became afraid to confront people, even his own sons, because he was abused by the way Saul had treated him, which led David to live in reaction. We must develop our own response. Hope some of that makes sense!

On Thursday we had our revival group (smaller group of 65ish students) leader, Crystal, talk to the whole first year. She was great, talking her own personal journey into the Grace of God, from a life and ministry of striving to earn God's affection. She told us of a dream she had and how God taught her to stop worrying about performance and to just rest in Him. The bible often refers to our output or attributes as fruit, so Crystal was often worrying about how much or what type of fruit she was producing, but God taught her to not worry about it, that He would control the production and make sure she was fruitful! Which is good news! She finished by singing a song which God inspired her to write, which includes a bit about her revelation of being free from religiously following and instead enjoying resting with God. Here are the lyrics:

Come and meet me in the trees
Come and whisper in the breeze to me
Undenying Love
I am yours and you are mine
I am yours and you are mineFather, Spirit, my True Vine
I am yours and you are mine
I’m in you and you’re in me
I’m the fourth one in the Three
This is the garden of my love
This is the garden of my life
No one can take this place from me
No one can take away my peace
I am free, I am free, I am free
I climb the branches of your smile
With this view I can see for miles
We are in the weather of your love
No matter the season
We are in the weather of your love


Hope the song lyrics bless you anyway....
Our weekend has been pretty packed. After having an awesome day celebrating Izzy's birthday on Saturday, we had a revival group party after church Sunday which was great. We all hung out in one of the local parks playing various games.After the park Izzy had her Track group project presentation. The group showed a slide show of the cards they have been making. Izzys cards are going to be printed and sold which is exciting. you can view and buy the cards online at:

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=501955836#!/pages/Bethel-Impart-Cards/198267633539268

Of course Bill was amazing Sunday morning, talking about something that's very close to his heart, leaving a legacy for future generations. Was brilliant.
In other news, our car has broke. Which is not good. Although a mechanic guy is coming to look at it Wednesday sometime, so in the mean time we're all scrambling around trying to find lifts to the various activities we're involved in, including school tomorrow. Please do pray for a quick and speedy recovery for our car, and not an expensive one!

I've gone on for too long now, so that'll do. Really hope everyone reading this is well and enjoying life.
Bless you all for reading.

Saturday April 2nd. Healing rooms

The healing rooms were very busy today, we had hundreds come from all over the world for a touch from the King.
My team leader was michael an aussie whose in second year. I told him i want to practice my word of knowledge (God telling us something about someone that i wouldnt know naturally, eg. a pain somewhere in the body, their name). So we prayed for a lot of people today, a lot of them came in for prayer for a body part, but God went deeper than that, and they got their body part healed and emotional healing too. God was incredible.
My favourite healing today was this mexican couple who couldnt speak any english, thankfully mike speaks spanish tho so we were ok. The wife had pain in the head, neck, shoulders, back and feet, she was quite unemotional, she didnt smile at all. So we prayed about 3 times and there was significant healing, but the pain had moved to behind her eys and another part of her back, when pain moves this means its a spirit from the devil causing the pain(otherwise why could it move!?) so i just said 'spirit of pain leave now, in Jesus Name' and suddenly she burst into laughter and was completely pain free! She laughed for about 10 minutes, then we prayed for her husbands back and neck and that got completely healed too. Thankyou Jesus!
We prayed for a lady who had a spot on her back and the doctor thought it might be cancer and so was booked to go for tests but came to the healing rooms first. So me and my friend Lilly prayed for it to go and she said she felt like something was being pulled out of the spot, she said it was a strange feeling. I hear God say she gets headaches, so i asked her and she said yes! she had had one yesterday and gets them a fair bit, so i commanded them to go in the name of Jesus, and we are believing they have gone. She came back 10 minutes later and tol us the feeling on the spot was still going on, so God was definatly doing something.
A lady came in who had ruptured something in her knee and was in a LOT of pain. She was due for an operation in 2 weeks on it. We prayed and got her to check out the knee by walking up some stairs (which she couldnt do before) so she did, and said it was about 50% better.Praise Jesus.
A man who had a bone spur on his foot said he felt something happening on it when I prayed.
A girl from Sweden came in for prayer for hormone inbalance and nausea, so we prayed and i felt a tightening in my chest so we asked her if she had any anxiety, we commanded the anxiety to go, and she suddenly leaned back with her chest out, as though a weight had been lifted off, she said she felt a lot better and thr tightness and nausea was gone. We prophesed over her(gave her words from God about her future) and she left lighter and happier. SO GOOD!

They had people ringing the healing rooms through skype and we heard at the end that lots of people who had cancer had rang in, and all the pain left their body! One lady got healed from something, then got her daughter to be prayed for, then got her son, and kept going and getting more family members for prayer, and they all got healed! there were many more skype testimonys too which i cant remember, but God was definatly moving through skype today!

Thanks for reading about my exciting morning.

Love you and Jesus loves you
