Just a quick update on WMI revival in Tampa Fl: We had an absolutely wonderful time with our friends from Covenant Christian Center in Tampa Fl. Mornings were spent teaching on worship and Holy Ghost meetings at night where so powerful. We are forever changed. God did so many things in all of us. Ps Kevin and Gaile Howell are wonderful pastors and dear friends of this ministry. We always enjoy spending time with their ministry. Partnership is a wonderful thing! More on this later….

We have just returned home from some of the greatest meetings in the history of the ministry. Revival in Norway was a blowout with over 1000 people in the altar calls giving their heart to Christ! What an amazing experience it was. Thanks to all of you who prayed and stayed by the stuff! Many doors were opened to us throughout Europe with invitations to Latvia and Russia, to name a few. We sowed a first fruits seed into Norway believing that God will bring us great harvest there and at home.

We should be receiving the video footage of the meetings and hope to make it available to our families and partners. To see the hunger of the people for their nations is just overwhelming. May God cause that same hunger to arise here in America that we might see a great outpouring like never before. It is the only thing that will change this great nation!

Oh, by the way, email us with any prayer requests or praise reports that you might have. We would love to hear from you. Our email address is worshipworksmin@aol.com. Will talk soon! Ps Joe and Becky

Not enough time to write a lengthy blog. The pictures will certainly tell the tale! Suffice to say, SOMETHING IS HAPPENING IN SCANDINAVIA! The WMI Team, along with Revival Ministries, Intl are making history in Norway! Enjoy!

Hey friends, we are writing today from beautiful Drammen, Norway. Outside of Oslo, sits a scenic and peaceful farming area called Drammen. The people are kind, the pace is slower but there is an explosion that is taking place in this quiet community. Jan Henvold and visionnorge.no or visionheaven.com are hosting Revival Ministries, Intl and Worshipworks Ministries, Intl in a Fire Conference that is sure to set ablaze this whole Scandanavian region!We just finished 3 meetings to kick the conference off that were so powerful! Last night’s service was a blowout with many people breaking through in worship to a higher realm of God’s Glory. It was captured live here in Norway and on satellite around the world. I truly hope those of you with satellite will check out their websites for their uplink addresses and witness what God is doing!We will be sending some pictures for those who don’t have satellite so keep checking this site for further updates. Church family, we love you. Heard you had a wonderful weekend. Keep praying for us! Remember, the reward is the same for those who stay by the stuff! Love to all, Joe and Becky

This past school year was a banner year for ACA and enrollment is jumping for 2008/2009. Ps Stan and Kym and their faculty have done an excellent job teaching, training, and imparting academic excellence and leadership to the ACA students and it has really paid off. Also, we want to acknowledge our ACA parents. You won’t find a more dedicated group of parents whose generosity is unsurpassed. Thank you guys! Without your constant support to the vision, we couldn’t do all we do. Finally, congratulations go to Senior graduate Josh Gantenbein, son of Rusty and Susan Gross. Josh plans to attend IFTA in the fall. For more information on 08/09 registration, check out www.austincityacademy.com

Hey this is Ryan Cruse from the Creative Arts Department. I am excited to tell you the great news of a new baby. A beautiful girl with 6 strings and 6 tuners. She’s made of burl redwood, purple-heart maple and walnut. I am a proud father. The gestation period was 17 months. What a killer!! But was worth the wait. Anyway, We have begun tracking for the new Experience record, and we have captured some incredible moments. I will try to keep you up to date as the recording process continues.
