Autumnfest 2009 (Report)
What a conference! The messages brought by Pastors Terry and Pat
Carlson were powerful and direct. There is no doubt that God is
preparing His people for something great in these last days! We are
also more aware of the challenges that lie ahead for God's people.
There was a deep work in the hearts of many...
One girl in the church wanting to hear God for direction felt on
Friday to lay it all down. By the end of the weekend she got a call
for an interview for a ministry position working with troubled girls.
She still needs to pray about it, but God was quick to answer.
CHILDREN: The past few days have been full and exciting as we have
just completed a three day kids club. The theme for the confernce is
"The Call" and the kids were taught from the life of Jonah to follow
God's call on their lives.
Below are some of the messages shared at Autumnfest 2009:

Autumnfest 2008 (report)
We had a great conference this year
On the 28th of October we arrived to pick up the team of 9 at the airport. Pastors Terry & Pat Carlson, over for their 5th time since the Church started in 2004, brought a team this time with them, including their Senior Pastor from New Life Christian Church (Michigan), to minister at our first conference.
They had little rest as they started the next day to run a three day Kids Club and youth events. Numbers varied with the children from 12 to over 30. Most important was the ministry. The theme of the conference was "The Depths of God", but it quickly became apparent the the baptism of the Holy Spirit was going to be part of the ministry of every age group.
By Thursday night and Friday, several of the teenagers had recieved the baptism of the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues, as well as a number of the children.
Friday night the adult meetings started. Pastor Bob taught in a very powerful way about the hinderances that keep us from going deeper. Convinction worked into our hearts over the conference, and by Sunday morning, again there was prayer for many for the baptism of the Holy Spirit with those also recieving the gift of tongues.
So much happened, that we hardly expected all the ministry that would occur on the Sunday evening when Terry shared on God's grace in our lives. Several people also gave their hearts over to Jesus during the conference.
Everything went beyond our expectations!!!
Things would not have been complete without a bit of fun. On Saturday afternoon 19 people joined in playing paintball while some of the less violent met for tea while the kids played in a "play zone". Sunday after Church we had a meal together, everyone bringing something to share.
Our prayer is that God will continue to soften our hearts and the work done in us during the conference will continue in the days to come.
