Akiane

This week is the prophetic art conference here at Bethel and Akiane is one of the speakers. Akiane is thirteen years old and is an amazing artist. Akiane has been painting since she was four years after having had a vision of God and heaven. Through this vision she got saved but her parents were still unsaved. Akiane began to have more encounters with God and she told her parents about them and they too got saved. Akiane's paintings come from what she sees when God encounters her and takes her on adventures. Akiane said she is up every morning at four and paints for five or six hours. Akiane also writes poetry. She is an amazing young girl with a heart after God. She said that she does what she does because she wants people to know God and His love.

Heidi Baker

Heidi Baker came to speak in class on Tuesday! Heidi and her husband Rolland are missionaries to Mozambique. They are the directors of IRIS Ministries a mission to orphans and abandoned children. Heidi is a carrier of the love of God and His presence is intense when she walks in the room. I was totally captivated by His love! My favorite testimony she gave was when they were handing out Christmas gifts to the kids in Mozambique and she asked these girls what they wanted and they asked for beads. Now, the lady passing out the gifts asked Heidi "What are you doing we only have stuffed animals in the bag." Heidi replied "I think God would ask them what they want because He cares about our hearts desires" When the lady turned back to the bag the bag was full of beads. What an Awesome Christmas!!! I love this testimony because it expresses God's love and expresses that what is important to us is important to Him. He loves to put a smile on our face!!

Australia

Wow! I am going to Australia! I am so excited! In second year we have the privilege of traveling with the Pastors as part of the ministry team. Earlier this year they gave us a list of trips and shortly after I had a dream that I was on an airplane with Pastor Bill headed to Australia. After having this dream I applied for the trip and I was chosen to be part of the team going to Australia. The only thing I needed was the money so I sent out support letters and my trip is paid for,Yeah God!!! I am really excited to see what God is going to do in me and through me on this trip! Its going to be amazing! God is so Good!

Dutch Sheets

Dutch Sheets is the Speaker for Jesus Culture (youth conference) this year. We had the privilege of having him speak in class yesterday and it was Amazing!!! He talked about wisdom and revelation and that you can't just have wisdom you have to have the revelation of what God is doing. He said that the Spirit of wisdom and revelation is key in any type of ministry. He said we need to live on the floor of wisdom and in the room of revelation! I went to hear him speak again at the conference last night and he spoke about how we are getting ready to experience the greatest awakening in all of history. He encouraged us to pray for our Cities, our schools, and our friends and families. Its the greatest most exciting time in history!!!! So exciting!!!!
