Today might have been the best

Heidi Baker spoke at school today! (Pause to contain the excitement again.)

I've never heard this woman speak before today, but I've heard of her and read one of her books. She absolutely astounds my mind and spirit and after today even more so. I prayed in the beginning of the year that I would get to hear her speak because her ministry has offices here at Bethel and today my prayer was answered. For those of you who don't know who she is she is an amazing missionary to Mozambique Africa. She raises thousands of orphan children and feeds 50,000 people a day! They've started 9,000 churches in the last 11 years. (Can you imagine the awe in the room after that statement?) She goes into Muslim villages and says "Bring me your deaf people" and every single one gets healed. Recently one of their pastors on staff had his tongue and lips cut off in front of his family and subsequently died before them. His cousin, also a pastor on staff, went into the house and told the criminals that they were loved by God and that they forgave them for what they just did and they repented and came to know Jesus. She tells the story much better. They also have had 9 mosques given to them because the leaders say they don't have any use for them anymore because the people all converted to Jesus.

What I love most about her though is her passion for intimacy with God. There are no words to describe it. She's like a modern day David. Anyway, she spoke today and didn't really say anything I haven't heard before, but her words were just dripping with her love for Jesus. At the end she had us all get on our knees as she blessed us and told us about this vision. It was so good.

Go check out her book There is Always Enough. It will blow your mind.
