Time To Celebrate

On 16 October, we celebrated "7 Years HELP for all Nations" on our new LIFEHOUSE property here in Cedar Creek, Texas. We have been looking forward to this day for a long time and in the past weeks we have been extremely busy in getting everything ready for this event. Everything was worth while and it has been an amazing day with a lot of worship music, homemade goulash soup, hot dogs and a large children's program. It's been a real party.

Everyone had a good time and it was especially nice to see many of our good friends. Some whom we had not seen in years. There are so many people that have helped us through the years and the list of invited guests was very long. This is why we were glad that so many could come and make time in their busy schedules.

All in all there have been 120 guests who joined us as we celebrated God's goodness and faithfulness. Among them were 15 of our young homeless friends that we know through our outreaches with the "Cream and Sugar" trailer. For them it was especially moving to experience God's presence in the prayer and worship times.

One part of the worship time was led by our team and the other part by a band from the Thunder School in Nashville, Tennessee. They opened the heavens with their prophetic worship and God's presence was really tangible.

In the evening we had the official dedication of our LIFEHOUSE property. At first we had a time of worship that was followed by a series of speeches, prophetic words and prayers of dedication. Among the speakers were Beth Alves, Scott McLeod, Ron Parrish and Walter Heidenreich. They all have been involved in helping our ministry grow to what it is today and they confirmed the vision that the Lord has given us.

We believe that the Lord wants to spark a new Jesus-Movement among the youth of this nation, especially among those on the brink of society.
In the past seven years we have been able to touch countless lives with God's love and we are looking forward to everything that He has prepared for us in the years to come.
