A place to get refreshed and meet with Jesus! And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places. Isaiah 32:18 NLV

Taxi Driver - Divine Set Up - Jehovah Sneaky! Upcoming Events!
Have you ever been set up by the Lord? If you haven't, then you don't know what you're missing. A friend of mine, Joni Ames, says that God is Jehovah sneaky... and I've seen that quite a few times in my walk with Him. While we were in Peru, He set us up by having James go home only 2 days after we got there. He obviously knew we wouldn't have gone if we knew James would leave so suddenly. Sneaky?!@?
The picture above shows our taxi driver. He's the one in the orange tank top on the left in the back.
Well, also while we were there, God created a divine set up with one of our taxi drivers. We were in the taxi with Pastor Luis and our interpreter, Sammy. (remember everything had to be translated but here's the conversation). I heard the Lord say that we were on a treasure hunt right in the taxi. I said who's the "treasure" and the Lord said, our driver. I felt like the Lord told me to invite the driver to the church services but that he would say no. The reason he would say no is because he needed to work and earn fares. The Lord told me to ask what he would make and then offer him double fare. So, I tapped on the taxi driver's shoulder and said hey would you like to come to church service tonight, this is Pastor Luis sitting next to you and Ken and I will be teaching and ministering. I sense the Lord has something special for you tonight. The taxi driver immediately said no and that he couldn't afford to not work, that he had a lot of debt to pay and had to work. I said how much do you make in fares for an evening and he said 10 soles (that equates to about $3). I said what if I gave you 20 soles, would you come? He said, well I'm not in proper clothes (he was in a tank top and shorts). I said you know the Lord doesn't look at the outward appearance but He looks at the heart. We say come as you are, we accept you as you are, isn't that right Pastor Luis. Pastor Luis said yes, come. So he agreed.
As we approached the church, our taxi driver was getting cold feet, however, the Lord had a plan. The taxi driver's car suddenly quit/the engine died. The taxi driver repeatedly (about 20 times) tried to start the car but it wouldn't start. (hmmmm???) I said to him, the Lord wants you to come into the church services and when we come out later, your car will start right up. What choice did he have?? So he came in. Whoohoo!
As the worship music began, the taxi driver was standing in the back of the church and obviously wasn't as enthusiastic about being there as the rest. So I prayed. I said God, would you help him to have a good time and would you show him how to worship You? Just a minute or so later, he lifted his hands up every so slightly to worship. I said wow, cool. So I said to God, would you help him to not be distracted by his car not running and help him to worship You even more? In just a minute his hands raised up to shoulder height in worship. Wow!!! So I bumped Sammy (the interpreter) and said watch this - I said Lord, could you also have the taxi driver smile, he looks so sad and down. I am NOT kidding when I say that just a few seconds after that, he smiled and looked up towards me and I smiled back! God is soooooo good! Both Sammy and I were completely amazed at everything we asked for (according to His will) God did!
After worship, Ken preached a message about unity and how important it was that the people of the church are to each other and to the pastor. It was a timely and God orchestrated sermon!! I added a few words and then I thought we were going to leave because we were supposed to teach and minister at another church. Pastor Luis asked if we would pray over everyone there? Everyone lined up in the middle aisle and we prayed and prophseyed over each one. We were utterly amazed at how fluid the prophetic and healing was there. The prophetic words were absolutely dead on and instant healing happened to about 90% of those we prayed for. Can you believe that? I wouldn't if we didn't experience it firsthand!
In the line was our taxi driver. I was amazed he actually got in line for prayer. When he got to the front, the Lord spoke to me to lead him to the Lord. I said to the taxi driver, do you feel you were suppose to be here tonight? He said yes? Do you believe God has something for you tonight? He said yes? Do you understand what it means to become a Christian believer? He said he wasn't sure, so I explained to him what it meant. I said do you want to become a follower of Jesus tonight and come into the family of God? He said YES!!!!!!! I had Sammy pray with him the salvation prayer. Tears were coming down his face. After this, I shared to the entire congregation about the divine set up in the taxi and how his taxi died as we arrived and how God wanted him to come to this service. The crowd laughed and clapped in joy. I said to the church - please welcome him to the family of God, please show him what that looks like. Every single person literally went to him hugged him and kissed him and welcomed him. There was so much love and warmth. It made me cry! When he went back to his seat, he no longer was standing there alone. Others gathered around him. God is good!
After we got done ministering 3 hours later, the entire church went out to the sidewalk to watch as the taxi driver went to start his car. He got in and turned the ignition over. What do you think happened? IT STARTED FIRST TRY!!!!!! He started to laugh and the rest of the church clapped!!!!!!! On the 45 minute drive back to our hotel, he told us that he has never experienced God's power and love before. He realized that this truly was a divine set up. I told Pastor Luis that I felt the Lord wanted him to invite our taxi driver (can't remember his name, sorry) to his church and that he should mentor him and give him a bible. Now remember, I don't understand or speak spanish (yet). Pastor Luis said to me, I just invited him to come to our church, told him I would mentor him and that I had a bible for him. The taxi driver and the rest of us really were so amazed at God's hand in this whole thing.
Also - one more thing that I said in a previous post. Pastor Luis said on the ride back that in November 2010 the Lord gave him a vision of a couple from another country preaching in his church and they would bring life back to his church....and they would move to Peru. He told us that during the services, the Lord confirmed to him that we were that couple and that life came back to his church tonight. He said the countenance of the church changed as we were ministering.
We are still praying and seeking God for direction on a "move". Our sense is another trip there - maybe a longer stay and back again. ????
I am still trying to recover - coughing, chest congestion and exhaustion. Please continue to pray for healing.
If you have a ministry or prayer need or would like us to come teach or speak, we would be delighted to. Our heart is to love God, love others and help others do the same! We want to ignite the body of Christ to walk in radical obedience and total surrender!
God Bless YOU -

Move to Peru??? Another miracle?
Can you believe it's been two weeks since we got home from Peru? It seems like we just got home. I am still fighting the cold I got while in Peru. Ok.. so we still want to share some of the amazing God stories that we experienced, but felt that this was the next one on God's agenda for this blog.
This picture above actually is in Mira Flores where my niece lives. This was taken from her apartment window looking across the street. She lives in the "Johnson County" of Lima. It was a much quieter area of town and yet close to the busy financial district. We had a great visit with her and her new husband. He is Peruvian and made us a really yummy chicken aji amarillo dish. I'm going to try my hand at this next week.
We wanted to share with you a few little "inklings" of what God has been speaking to us since September about Peru.
Before we left - I heard a small voice whisper "move to Peru". Next, when I was in my quiet time one day, the Lord gave me a Scripture out of Acts 18:9-11 One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. 10 For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.” 11 So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God. I joked that maybe we would just stay in Peru for a year and a half. Ha ha!!! Then when we were on Skype with James (the guy who we went with), he had made a comment at the end of our call about if he would move to another country it would be Peru. I asked him why he said that and he didn't really have an answer. Odd? So then when we were talking to the guy who was watching our house and dogs prior to booking our flights, I was asking him if he was flexible on staying longer?? He said, another day, week, month or year, it didn't matter. I also had a vision that a family greeted us and the wife/mother of this family embraced me and then invited us into their home. And then Mary, the lady who was teaching us spanish said the best way to learn spanish is to move in with a spanish speaking family and be fully immersed. Ha!!!
While were in Peru - one of the churches we preached and ministered at, the pastor shared in the taxi this little story. He said that in November the Lord gave him a vision. A couple from another country would come to his church and preach and bring life back into his church.. and then that couple would move to Peru. Well, while we were ministering to his church, the Lord showed him that it was us the vision was about. One night we were at dinner and Prophet Rafael was with us. He was one of the people that came in from Costa Rica to minister at the church for the 12 days of revival. He said the Lord had been speaking to him about us and asked if we wanted to hear. He shared quite a bit but one thing he said was that the Lord was giving us Peru and that He was also giving us South America.. meaning our ministry would reach all of South America. And then in another taxi ride, the taxi driver said he had been listening to us on La Luz Radio and said how much he has been enjoying our teaching and ministering. He said that he wanted to sow into our ministry and that he wasn't going to charge us a fare for the taxi ride (remember they are very poor there - that's a huge sacrifice). Well, he also said that the Lord was going to make us famous all over South America through La Luz and that he felt we would travel not only to Peru but to all of South America to teach and minister.
Ok so do we need more confirmation - YES!!!!! When we got home, the second night I had a dream (in the few minutes I slept)... and this was the dream... That a Dignitary from Peru and his daughter were watching us on La Luz Television and one of the prophetic words of knowledge we had for healing was for his daughter and she was instantly healed as we prayed over the tv. The Dignitary was a "secret" Christian because he worked for the President of Peru. He contacted La Luz and they put him in contact with us. He invited us to move to Peru and move in with him and his family. On another day, I was flipping through a magazine I get monthly from a ministry. The headlines said this: Healing rivers in Peru! The article was about a couple from Oklahoma and the Lord called them to move to Peru and they have been there for 27 years.
Yowseeeeee!!!!!! This is so overwhelming to think about. What you don't know is this... when I got home, I literally asked God not to speak to me because I wasn't interested in hearing what He had to say (if meant moving to Peru). If God would of said to me the first week we were home, "move to Peru next month", I'd have to tell you I don't know whether I could of been obedient or not. The amazing God stuff didn't outweigh the cultural shock I experienced. Really? Yea, really?? I said to God, if you wanted us to move there, you didn't do a very good job of selling me on how wonderful it was. Why??
Don't get me wrong, we loved the people we met, ministered too and Pastor Agapito, his wife Malena and her sister Bibiana were incredible host/hostesses. They were awesome!! I even cried when we were saying our goodbyes.
Ken had a brilliant thought and said if God would of made it a bed of roses, maybe we would of got ahead of Him and moved there prematurely. Maybe that's true? Interesting thought? It took 5 years from when God showed us the two trees to when we actually went, so maybe it will be even longer than that to actually move there!
Several years ago when I was shutting my business down, I asked the Lord why would He have me to close the business down just five years after HE wanted me to open it. He had me in Psalm 37:4. He gave me a different perspective on that verse. It says, those who delight in the Lord, He gives them the desires of their heart. I initially thought that meant that as I spent time with God, as I served Him, He would satisfy my hearts desires, my dreams, etc. And that is true. However, it's not really about my dreams that I've dreamt up, they are His dreams that He has PLACED in my heart. He gave me a vision with this. He was reaching into my heart and He pulled out some old "dreams" and He replaced them with new dreams - His will for my life. He said because you love me so much Michele, I am changing your heart day by day and molding you and shaping you into who I created you to be long before the foundation of the earth began. I gave you the desire to open that business so that I could teach you much more about My Kingdom and then when I felt that those lessons were learned, I changed the desires in your heart. You see I have a purpose for you and you will fulfill that purpose. You are walking on the path I have for you. Continue to trust and believe that I Am for you and that I Am with you every step of the way.
God is an amazing God! He is good and His faithful love endures forever! I don't really have to worry about whether we are moving to Peru or not, because I know that when (and if) He does asks us to move officially, He will have already prepared our hearts and handled all the details. And I know that I will be extremely happy to say yes and to go where He sends me. Even if that means to a country that is way out of my comfort zone. He has good for me/us. His love for us is too great to think otherwise! And that is actually what He is doing. In just two short weeks, I've gone from la la la la, not listening God, to ok God, here I am, send me! Whatever that looks like! I'm Yours!
In the meantime, Ken and I are THANKFUL to be home and appreciating all the blessings God has bestowed on us.... a nice home, a nice comfortable bed, good food, etc. There's much to be thankful for!
If you have a ministry or prayer need or would like us to come teach or speak, we would be delighted to. Our heart is to love God, love others and help others do the same! We want to ignite the body of Christ to walk in radical obedience and total surrender!
God Bless YOU -

Raw & real!
Hola! Como esta? We are home from Peru! What an amazing time we had! The overall trip was incredible and the Lord did some mighty things. I cannot believe how fluid the prophetic and healing was. I think there was only one time I really had to ask the Lord and wait for something. We just opened our mouths and out it came! Total faith that whatever we asked for would happen, and it did! Not a doubt to be found anywhere! These people were expecting miracles and they got them! God is good! We have so many miracle stories to share and we will, but this post I feel the Lord wanted me to share saw real and raw stuff we went through.
Most of you reading this blog know that my life, at least for the past 27 years, has been a battle with my health. I have been dealing with migraines for 27 years. I have a disability in my right leg, called RSD, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, resulting from a knee surgery in 1992. I have chronic neck and back pain. In 2009 I closed my mortgage company down (per the Lord) primarily due to health reasons. I was experiencing chronic fatigue, brain fog, liver issues, etc. It wasn't until 2010 that I was officially diagnosed with Adrenal Fatigue and also Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease which was caused from all the pain meds I took for migraines. My immune system and endocrine system was basically crashing. Now I share all this with you to set the stage.
In September, the Lord connected us to James Horan of Fresh Mercy Ministries. We went to Tulsa to meet him and get to know him and only two weeks after that visit, the Lord sprung on us to go to Peru with him. The first question out of my mouth to God was what about my health? How can I travel to a foreign country and have little energy, low immune? I sensed He said He would sustain me. How could I go to a 3rd world country and be ok? However, there were so many confirmations, many of which I shared with you all in previous posts. We knew were to go and all I could do was trust and believe that God would see me through. This was a huge leap of faith. But there I went... jumped into the deep end believing God would take care of things.
We arrived in Peru just before New Years Eve. The New Years Eve services began and we arrived at the church approximately 10pm. It wasn't until almost 230am that James was up to speak. It was 5am when we returned to our hotel. Did I tell you it was extremely hot there. The temperatures were only in the upper 70's, low 80's but the humidity was unbelievable. Of course, we were in jeans, long sleeve shirts and suit jackets as required by the church. We were soaking wet. At midnight, probably 100 people came to hug us and they didn't seem to care how hot we were..but just very loving hospitable people.
Our hotel room was considered a 3 star hotel... and I would guess that is because we had a toilet seat and toilet paper in the room. Our bed was like a sheet of plywood with a thin sheet over it. The pillows were lumpy. The air conditioning was a window open and praise God we had a fan in the room but it was still very hot. Though the hotel was very old, they did a nice job of keeping it clean. Thank God!
On Sunday, James knocked on our door and said come upstairs (to the rooftop restaurant) as he had something he wanted to share with us. What Ken and I had been sensing for a day already became a reality when we got upstairs. James said that he had to get home, that there was a family crisis and it was imperative he was home (back in the usa). FYI- God is definitely working things out there and all is well on that front. So we are on day 2 in a foreign country still trying to get acclimated to the weather, the culture, the food, the language and James tells us he is going home. He is telling the church that he has every confidence that God orchestrated this so that Ken and I would be fully launched into what God has for us in Peru. James interpreter, Sammy would stay the duration of the trip and would be our interpreter. Oh and did I tell you, probably due to all the stresses, I was sick. I had a fever, cough, sore throat and chest congestion. So James changed his flight and fortunately for us wasn't able to get home until Monday. So we had at least all day Sunday and most of Monday with him watching his routine there before he left. That was a blessing!
Our schedule there was pretty much the same each day.... we would wake up, eat breakfast at the hotel... Pastor Agapito from the church Fuente de Benedicion would pick us up, we would go to the tv station, Ken would preach for about 10 minutes, then I would share 15-20 minutes of prophetic words of knowledge the Lord gave me and pray over each of them (and the tv station would get calls in while on air, confirming the words and that they were healed by the prayers), then we would pray over prayer petitions live on air. After tv, we would often move to radio and do the same thing. We would then have lunch around 4 or 5 and then would go to the church or another church to preach and minister until late. After that service we would go for dinner and then back to the hotel to bed. On average we would get about two to three hours of sleep.
In Peru, most of the public restrooms (except the very nice restaurants) had NO toilets seats, no toilet paper, no soap or paper towels. Thankfully, the Lord gave us some knowledge of this before we left - so we had lots of kleenex and hand sanitizer with us. But to actually experience it firsthand (even with prior knowledge) did not make it any easier. Especially when you are sick, you want clean.
Ken and I have learned a very nice song that reminds us of Peru. :) Everywhere you go, you hear "beep beep" and in many different sounds and styles of horns. This is because there are 9 million people driving all at once (ok just a little exaggerated) and they don't stop for pedestrians or for red lights or stop signs, they just beep their horn twice to forewarn you they are coming through. At first the noise level from cars, horns, busses, people was overwhelming but before the end of the trip, it became music to our ears. We never saw someone show any anger or impatience on the road and in so much traffic. The traffic was crazy but yet there was a peace to it all. Very odd! This is a city that does NOT sleep!!!!!
The people we were with and the church people we ministered to were the most humble and hospitable people we have ever met. If you went to the restroom, they escorted you and sometimes at the church, someone would hand you a paper towel to dry your hands off with (instead of using your pants). If we used a taxi, there was somebody from the church in the taxi with you and they paid the fare. Everytime we went to eat, they order family style and its free for all in eating. I think only once or twice when we ate on our own did we eat from our own plates.
The food was good - good flavor but I had no idea what I was eating most of the time. They have over 5000 variety of potatoes so I know we ate lots of those. I tried Ceviche (the crab one) which is raw fish cooked in lime juice. Tasty. Ken was more brave and at the fish and octopus variety. Most of the dishes the bones, fat and skin were in it. Great flavor, crazy textures!
Many people are poor but they are generous - generous in spirit, in love, in humility, in serving you, in hospitality. I fell in love with a little girl there and would love to have brought her home. Pastor Agapito and his wife Marlena and her sister Bibiane (i think that's how you spell it) were such a delight. When we were saying our goodbyes, we cried. Their hearts are so in love with Jesus! We love that!
On the flight home from Peru, I think everyone on the plane wanted to shoot me. I was sooooooo sick and coughing literally non stop. I coughed so hard that I was vomiting pfleghm. I know, probably too much information but the reality was that I was miserable. I just wanted to be home and in my own bed. I have to say that this was probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life. The whole time I was there, I kept asking God why? Why did you allow me to get sick? I thought You were going to sustain me? I begged and pleaded for my healing but it never came. I was really questioning my faith and yet God was doing so many miracles through us. It was the best of times and the worst of times. I still don't have the answers but I do know that God loves me very much and does have my best interests at heart. I have been in bed since we arrived home and am resting and recouping very slowly. Please pray for healing!! And THANK YOU to those who have been praying. If you hadn't been, I wouldn't have survived this trip.
One last story before I end this post. Five years ago, Ken and I had a prophetic word given to us that we would be traveling and that we would have an international ministry. The person shared a vision they had of us and saw two trees. They didn't have an interpretation for that. I often joked that it meant a "Doubletree" hotel and Ken would say it was two trees holding a hammock. Three years ago we were at Morningstar Church in South Carolina . Ken and I were selected to sit in a circle and 50 people prophyseid over us - international ministry, cargo coming from a plane to use to provide to those in need, and again someone said I see two trees. There were several folks that confirmed the two trees.
When we arrived at our hotel - Hotel Internacional - the logo we saw behind the front desk jumped out at us! It was the two trees!!! The picture at the top of this post is the logo!! You should be able to click on picture and enlarge it. Can you believe God orchestrated this trip 5 years ago!!!!!
And what's more interesting... is that we feel that we are to return to Peru.... and possibly move there... short or long term, we don't know yet. We are praying and asking God for clarity.... We will share more on this in future posts!
If you feel led to support us and the ministry God has for us, this is how you can do so!

Post from Peru
Just a quick note from Peru. It is amazing, hard, exciting, exhilirating, crazy, surprising and God is a sneaky God! HA! Oh and it is hot... long jeans, long sleeve shirts and hot, hot, hot. NO a-c. And did I tell you that there are 9 million people here. The traffic is crazy. And we have been driving around with 6 of us in a little toyota corolla, 4 in the back, me on Kens lap.
New Years Eve the service went from 10p to 5a. Wow! Peruvians party to all hours of the morning! When we get home, I will type up different stories.. but know that God has been showing up mightily. Just about everybody we have prayed for in person, on the radio and on tv has been healed. The words of knowledge have been flowing, creative miracles, deaf ears opened two different people. I prayed for a little girl Delila and fell in love with her. I dont know if I will see her again but if I do, I may just bring her home. HA!
My health has taken a slight turn downwards... achey, fever, migraines, chest congestion and cough. Gods grace is here!
As I said earlier, God is sneaky.... James the guy we came with is on the way to the airport as I type this. Please keep him and his family in prayer. So.. God used James to get us here and now Ken and I are on our own. We do have Sammy, his translator with us and we bonded instantly with him. He is fun! So please pray for how God will use us leading. Tonight when he started the service, he called us up and prayed a blessing over us and released us to this church. They received us well and we are excited to have some more fun with them!
I have to tell you real quickly...five years ago the Lord spoke to us and showed us a picture of two trees..two years later we were at Morningstar in South Carolina and they prophysied over us we would travel and they saw two trees. Ken and I always joke about that... he says it is two trees and a hammock and I tell him it means a Doubletree hotel. Well, are you sitting down.. the first night we arrived at our hotel...Hotel Internacional, the logo is two trees!!!!! I think it was a compromise..because it is NOT the Doubletree..and it is not a hammock but somewhere in between. Can you believe that 5 years ago God had planned for us to be here! God is good!
We will get to see my niece on Friday and meet her new husband... and then home Saturday arriving Sunday. Cannot wait for that! Whoohoo!
Thank YOU, muchos gracias, to all of you who have been praying for us. We feel the love and we are giving it away to the Peruvians! They are precious children of God! Whoohoo! God is good and His faithful love endures forever.
Anyways, got to go for now.. but more when we return. Adios amigos!

New Years Eve the service went from 10p to 5a. Wow! Peruvians party to all hours of the morning! When we get home, I will type up different stories.. but know that God has been showing up mightily. Just about everybody we have prayed for in person, on the radio and on tv has been healed. The words of knowledge have been flowing, creative miracles, deaf ears opened two different people. I prayed for a little girl Delila and fell in love with her. I dont know if I will see her again but if I do, I may just bring her home. HA!
My health has taken a slight turn downwards... achey, fever, migraines, chest congestion and cough. Gods grace is here!
As I said earlier, God is sneaky.... James the guy we came with is on the way to the airport as I type this. Please keep him and his family in prayer. So.. God used James to get us here and now Ken and I are on our own. We do have Sammy, his translator with us and we bonded instantly with him. He is fun! So please pray for how God will use us leading. Tonight when he started the service, he called us up and prayed a blessing over us and released us to this church. They received us well and we are excited to have some more fun with them!
I have to tell you real quickly...five years ago the Lord spoke to us and showed us a picture of two trees..two years later we were at Morningstar in South Carolina and they prophysied over us we would travel and they saw two trees. Ken and I always joke about that... he says it is two trees and a hammock and I tell him it means a Doubletree hotel. Well, are you sitting down.. the first night we arrived at our hotel...Hotel Internacional, the logo is two trees!!!!! I think it was a compromise..because it is NOT the Doubletree..and it is not a hammock but somewhere in between. Can you believe that 5 years ago God had planned for us to be here! God is good!
We will get to see my niece on Friday and meet her new husband... and then home Saturday arriving Sunday. Cannot wait for that! Whoohoo!
Thank YOU, muchos gracias, to all of you who have been praying for us. We feel the love and we are giving it away to the Peruvians! They are precious children of God! Whoohoo! God is good and His faithful love endures forever.
Anyways, got to go for now.. but more when we return. Adios amigos!
