Christmas Market

2012-01-07T12:48:00.001Z

A week before Christmas we were taking part in a Christmas Market in Tunbridge Wells. We ran a stall that offered Life Readings (about Jesus), Dream Interpretation and Healing Prayer.

We were able to speak to approximately 30 people about the true meaning of Christmas. We also prayed for healing and saw three instant miracles – two neck problems and arthritis in the hip.

Here are two of our stories:

A lady came to the stall who was deaf in one ear. As we had recently seen people healed at church of deafness Peter shared these testimonies with her. Mark and Peter then prayed for her twice but nothing happened. Then Mark had a prophetic word about the lady not remembering past memories that were dear to her. She was touched by this and we prayed for her that God would restore these memories at Christmas. She said she had never seen such amazing faith before. It was so moving to see her respond to God touching the area of her life that was most important to her

A teenager came to us and asked if we could interpret a dream she has had at least twice. In this dream Jesus comes to her and takes all the Christians to heaven. We were able to explain to her that this was Jesus personal invitation to take her to heaven with him. She said that she had been going to Christian summer camps and the message of Jesus was starting to make sense to her. She was nearly ready to give her life to Jesus and we took her through what she needed to do when she was ready. It was such a privilege to be involved in this girl’s journey to faith.

All in the group healed!

Before we went out treasure hunting last week we spent longer than usual drinking in his presence so we could better partner with Him in his purpose of revealing and demonstrating his Kingdom.

Here are two of our stories:

Martyn, Chris, Peter and Sue had “Trinity Theatre” on their map and they found a lady inside that had “red hair”, was suffering from “depression”, “diabetes” and “chronic tiredness”. They also had the name “Rebecca” on their treasure map which was the name the lady called her daughter but was not the daughters real name. The lady was somewhat overwhelmed at the accuracy of the clues and the team were able to spend some time talking and praying with her

Mark and Nathan were drawn to a group of three teenagers taking a break from their work. One of the girls knew about eight names on their treasure maps and also identified to three issues in her body that needed prayer, which were also on the maps! The other two teenagers also found that the problems they had in their body were on the treasure map. They were intrigued with what was happening and were open to prayer. Mark & Nathan first prayed for the teenager that had a “fractured collar bone”. After prayer he got ten per cent improvement but was still in pain. After praying the second time all the pain left and he got complete movement in his arm! The other two teenagers had problems with their feet, one had fallen arches and the other had high arches. After praying for them there was shock on both their faces as they tested out their feet and found all the pain had gone. Mark then shared the gospel with then and had a prophetic word about how God saw them. It was an amazing encounter and seeing God heal all of them in the group!

Chesterfield Treasure Hunting Weekend

2011-11-25T20:44:00.001Z

We had the recent privilege of running a treasure hunting weekend for a church in Chesterfield.

It was great fun and people really threw themselves into it despite being the first time for many. There were around thirty of us that went out treasure hunting.

Here are two of our stories (treasure map clues are in bold):

Peter and Nicole’s team spotted a pub called the Royal Oak (Red Oak was one of their clues) so they went towards it and found a shop nearby selling Tarot cards and it had a sun with a face in it (another 2 clues). They saw a lady and her daughter walking towards them. She was carrying a heavy, awkward package, maybe a radiator. Peter offered to carry the radiator for her and she gladly accepted help. After helping the lady put the radiator in her car, they asked if they could go through the treasure map clues. On the map were her mother and her dad names, her sons middle name, and also the name of her nephew! She then looked at the map for reasons that she may need prayer and told them that her mother had broken her leg and the pins holding it together were coming loose and affecting her knee (another clue) and thyroid problems was the condition her daughter had. She also added that she used to go the Royal Oak pub! They told her that God had singled her out and asked if they could pray for her. She was pleased that they prayed for her and said that it had really made her day! God is so good!

Mark & Nathan’s team met a number of teenagers near the church with the crooked spire and got into a conversation with them about God. A number of them had smoking related diseases and we were able to pray for them to be healed. Two of the girls were also very receptive to being prayed for to encounter God’s presence. They had also met one of the guys in the group earlier in the day where the treasure maps had six names on it of people he knew plus a number of other clues (including self harm) that really highlighted God had singled him out! He couldn’t believe they had found him again! After praying for these teenagers they went down the road and were drawn to a lady. They got talking to her and found out she was a Christian. They had words of knowledge about pain in her legs and also a child that was struggling in the faith. They were able to pray for her and she was filled with encouragement and went off bouncing down the road! As they headed back to the church they passed a man standing at a bus stop. As Mark approach him God spoke to him about how this man had a music gift that would unlock people’s hearts in worship. Mark shared this with the man what God had said and he was so impacted he wanted to come back to the church. At the church they were able to pray further for him and to introduce to him to other musicians.

In all the time I have been treasure hunting I have never seen so many occasions where the number of clues were so accurate. In one case Lesley’s team had fourteen clues that were relevant to two girls. It was an exciting weekend and one we will not forget.

A smorgasbord of clues and opportunities

2011-10-06T20:36:00.001+01:00

We were out treasure hunting last weekend, the first time since before the summer hols. Shelagh, Peter, Graeme and myself headed into town with lots of clues God had given us.

We approached a small group of teenagers and there was a guy for whom three of the names on the treasure maps were relevant. He admitted he had been been picked out in the past by a treasure hunting team. We were able to speak to him about God having a plan for his life and then prayed for his leg following a “recent operation”.

We then went over to a larger group of teenagers and read out out list of names and conditions that needed prayer. There were a number that responded. We prayed for one girl that had “regular headaches”, “pink sunglasses” and had “family worries”.

In the precinct we were drawn to a group of people that were signing people up to charity. We had a good conversation with them and were able to pray for two of the girls, one who had “headaches” all the time, another had a problem with her “leg” and was “estranged” from her family. They were very touched and open to prayer.

We also met a man who had recently lost his faith and had a number of connections with our church. He was grateful to be prayed for.

There were other conversations and opportunities to pray. People were very open and responsive to the treasure hunt. We had a smorgasbord of clues and opportunities all afternoon!

Late night treasure hunting for a rose tattoo!

2011-07-14T19:57:00.001+01:00

We went out into the town the other night looking for people that were out late clubbing. We had a number of good conversations but here is one that stood out.

We got into conversation with two girls, even though at first sight there were no obvious clues on our maps that would draw us to them.

As the conversation opened up there were four names on the maps that were relevant to them, one of the girls had “had recent surgery”, the other girl had a “pain in a knee”, one of them “played cards” weekly, the other had been “hurt using a stapler” (a very unusual clue!), one had a “rose tattoo” on her shoulder (this had been covered by her jacket ), one had “had an argument recently” and one “had a stud” on her tongue.

Overall we had 11 clues for these two girls!

We asked them why they thought God had picked them out and also offered to pray for their healing. Whilst we were praying God prompted one of the team to ask the girl with the tattoo whether she had a brother. She in fact did have a brother that she had not spoken to for 12 years and she very much wanted see reconciliation. We then prayed and ask God to step in and bring healing in their family relationships.

The story does not stop there. About twenty minutes later we bumped into the same girls at the station. We thought that we should give the girls some literature (as we had forgotten earlier) and we passed it to one of the girls as she got into a taxi.

What we didn’t know at the time was that the taxi driver happened to be a member of our church! He had recognised us and started a conversation with the girl about what had happened. She said she was amazed at how relevant the clues were to her and that though she was not yet a Christian something significant had happened tonight! She then went onto to question how she could live out a Christian life among her family who were not Christians. The taxi driver was able to encourage her further in her search for faith.

The God connections in their story are simply amazing! It is always amazing to be part of what God does in touching people.

Treasure hunting

2011-06-25T09:26:00.004+01:00

I thought it was worth writing down some of our treasure hunting stories from the last couple of months.

Martyn, Hugh and Lynn went to Ely Court, the location on their treasure map, and found a man wearing a "navy blue quilted coat" (that he had only just put on!). They got to pray for his friend who had "golden hair", an "ankle problem", a "sense of desperation" and who had a "decision time" regarding university. They said that being God's treasure was weird but in a nice way!

Martyn, Hugh and Lynn then went to ASK restaurant where they found a man in a "blue t-shirt", whose arm was in a "cast", and whose son, brother and sister in law names was on the treasure map! They prayed for his healing as the break was not naturally healing well.

Phil, Mark & Jemimah went to the Town Hall, the location on their treasure map, and met a teenager whose name was on their map. He had a "knee problem" and also liked flying "kites". They were able to pray for his knee and he had to run to test it out - he was reluctant at first but his group of teenage friends encouraged him to run. He said that it had improved after we prayed. We then prayed again and asked God to complete the healing.

On the way back to the church, Phil, Mark & Jemimah met a group of teenagers, two of them had names on the treasure map and another two had "birthdays" in the last few days. At this point they asked "are you the guys that heal?". The testimony of Jesus at work amongst the treasure hunting teams is starting to get known! We were able to pray for them as they were worried about exams.

Lawrie, Shelagh & Peter went to a "hairdresser" that had a "red and white sign" and were able to pray for someone outside who had a "spine problem". They then went into the hairdresser and had a conversation with a man who read the Bible but who had a bad experience with a church. They were able to talk this through and answer some of his questions.

Nessa & Shelagh met a lady outside "Cafe Nero" who was wearing a "pink jacket" and had a "chain" on her bag. She had "sadness" due to the loss of her father (it was the day before Father's day). They were able to pray with her and bring her some comfort.

Nessa & Mark got to speak to a lady outside "Waterstones" who was promoting her business. They were able to talk to her about Jesus and reveal that she had a "back problem". They laid hands on her and prayed for healing and an encounter with God's presence. It was good to see that she was visibly touched and the encounter changed her mood.

Sue & Rose met a couple, one of which had a "blue bag with bottles in it" and the other had an "eye" and "ankle" problems. They were able to pray for their healing and also some emotional issues.

It is always moving that God draws us to people that need an encounter with him. It is a real privilege to be able to bring God's goodness, love, presence and healing to people that do not know him.

Accurate Clues

2011-05-09T20:38:00.001+01:00

Richard came out treasure hunting for the first time a few weeks back. One of his clues was being “stuck in a lift and feeling claustrophobic”. As we left the church to go out we stopped by a group of 4 teenagers and we were amazed to find out that two of them had been recently stuck in different lifts! The experience for one of them had negatively impacted him and we were able to pray for him.

Mark had on his treasure map “red trousers”, “hospital” and “head & back pain”. As we went through the food court in RVP a lady literally bumped into Mark who was wearing red trousers! As we started a conversation with her she revealed she had just come out of hospital and currently had pain in her head and back. She thought we were completely mad but she let us pray for her healing!

Derek had clues for someone wearing a “small black rucksack” and also “Town Hall”. So as we approached the Town Hall, who were we to find but a man waiting for a bus wearing a small black rucksack! We were able to talk to him and he was some what surprised by our clues because he was an atheist.

Shelagh had the clue “YMCA” and was encouraged to find out in conversation with someone she got talking to that he had recently being staying at a YMCA hostel.

As it says in 1 Corinthians 14:25 “the secrets of their hearts are laid bare”. God is able to share with us the secrets of peoples hearts so that he can do them good.

Foot problem healed!

2011-04-04T17:00:00.001+01:00

Back in September Martyn got to pray for a colleague at work for a problem she had with her foot. His colleague was somewhat reluctant and only let Martyn pray the day she was leaving the company.

Though there was no instant improvement Martyn kept praying for her foot over a number of months. Two weeks ago he got an email from her saying that the pain level had decreased from 10/10 (excruciating) but that the last few months it has only been a 1/10 which is a significant improvement. She finishes the email be saying that see feels like a normal person again.

God is good!

Healings & treasure hunt stories

2011-02-27T17:34:00.001Z

Nine of us went out treasure hunting recently and saw a number of people healed. We had such fun and here are some of our stories.

Lesley, Patrick and Hugh got to speak to a teenager who admitted he had a “knee problem” but wouldn’t let them pray for it. They then asked him if his name was on their treasure map and it was, after which he allowed them to pray for his knee which resulted in it being healed!

Shelagh, Martyn & Derek were able to pray for a number of people during the afternoon, but they had yet to find someone who met the “gun” clue on Shelagh’s map. As they left a shop they came across a man that was carrying two gun cases over his shoulder. They got to talk to him about his philosophy studies and his search for God. They were able to pray with him and prophecy his destiny over him!

Jemimah, Mark & Peter were on their way back from the hunt and came across a group of about 15-20 teenagers. They went over to them and got their attention and went through all the clues on their maps they hadn't yet found. One guy had recently fallen off a motorbike and hurt is back. They got to pray for him, despite his friends making fun of him, and saw God heal him! Another guy then said he had hurt his knee recently whilst playing football. He lifted up his knee for them to pray and God healed him! They then were able to speak to a number of the group about the fact that it was Jesus who heals. A number in the group remarked to each other that they were intrigued how we "got their names" on their maps!

A very encouraging afternoon partnering with God.

Treasure hunting stories

2010-11-03T19:58:00.001Z

We have been out on a number of treasure hunts recently and here are some of my favourite stories.

Firstly from when we went up to the Peak District:

· Shelagh’s team headed for the “bus station” near “Sainsburys” and they met a lady wearing a “white coat” and whose daughter had “red hair”. They were able to pray for the lady that had psoriasis (skin condition) and also prayed for her daughter who had a hip problem. After praying for the daughter the pain in her hip instantly left!

· Mark’s team went off to the “park” to find a “bandstand”. We met a lady wearing a “red coat”, had “three dogs” and had a “leg problem”. She was very open and we were able to pray for her healing. We asked her to test it out but she said she would not know until the next day as it was worst in the morning after she got up.

· Later that day we went for a walk around Bakewell. Patrick decided to approach a group of girls and get out his treasure map that he had used earlier. This was because they were near a hotel that had a name similar to one of his clues. We found a girl whose name was on the map and also had a “fear of dogs”. She was willing to let us pray for her. We then asked if any of the other girls wanted to feel the presence of God. Without hesitation one of the girls said yes and held her hands open to receive!

Secondly from our most recent hunt in Tunbridge Wells:

· Mark, Jean, Peter and Patrick went to the war memorial where there was a “wall”, “bench” and “lamppost”. We met a couple, the man had been a “pilot” had a “knee problem” and was wearing “green trainers” and the women had a “nasal problem”. We were able to pray for them both. We left them with a treasure card and with the knowledge that God wants to do them good.

· Martyn, Hugh and Shelagh went to the “Body Shop” and met a man wearing a “GAP top”. They were able to pray for his “arm” which was having an allergic reaction to a mosquito bite. One of his friends had a “leather jacket” and they were able to pray for him to know the heart of God. This was a particularly encouraging conversation as these men were from a Muslim background and allowed the team to pray for healing in Jesus name.

· Mark & Patrick also got to meet a Christian family in the “library”, the mothers name being on the list and her daughter was wearing “red trousers”. When we introduced ourselves they said “can’t be us that you are looking for because we have only just arrived here”. When we hear comments like that experience tells us that they are probably our treasure! After building some rapport, we were able to pray for the mother’s job situation and show her that God knew her needs.

God is very much leading us to people he wants to touch and we are learning to partner with Him to release His presence as we pray for people.

Do you fancy joining with us on a treasure hunt so that you too can learn how to partner with God for the miraculous?

Another creative miracle!

2010-10-27T18:43:00.001+01:00

Last week Fiona hosted a birthday dinner party at our house for a friend in the church. There were a number of guests, including a girl that we had not met before.

During the meal Fiona shared about the ankle miracle that happened whilst I and some others from our church were in the Peak District teaching about treasure hunting.

Later in the evening I had a prophetic word about a shoulder injury. So I popped my head around the dining room door and asked if anyone had a problem with their shoulder.

The girl, that we had not met before, said she had hurt her shoulder whilst doing some DIY a few days earlier but it was now ok. She then went onto say that her real problem was her ankle. She had an accident when she was a teenager and had to have her ankle pinned. Her ankle was often swollen and in pain.

We offered to pray for her and she accepted. After a few minutes of prayer we asked her to test it out and to her amazement she said it felt looser than it normally did.

We then got to share with her about the goodness of God, His concern for her and some other miracle stories.

We got a text 48 hours later saying that the swelling had gone down and she had been doing DIY for two days without any pain! She is genuinely amazed at what God has done for her.

Creative Miracles!

2010-10-14T19:53:00.001+01:00

Last weekend we had the privilege to visit the New Frontiers churches in the Peak District to train them in treasure hunting. Twenty five people came to the training day from the Buxton, Chesterfield & Matlock churches. They were superb: finding their treasure, praying for healing and seeing some amazing answers to prayer.

Seven of us from the Wild Evangelism stream were able to go and it was great working together as a team.

During the training and at the Sunday church service we also got to pray for healing for a number of those in the church. Here are some of the stories.

Ankle Healed

On the team was a man who had a problem with his ankle. He was born with a weak ankle and at eighteen was given the wrong operation (it was for the patient in the hospital bed next to him!). This operation fused his ankle so it could only move up and down and not side to side. 40 years on, his ankle was badly swollen, and he had to walk with a stick and use a scooter on bad days.

After praying for him for a few minutes he was able to move his ankle side to side and by the end of the day was able to walk unaided by a stick. Also the pain subsided.

On Sunday at church he was showing off his new ankle, it was no longer swollen and he was running for the first time for many years and is now pain free! God is so awesome!

Back Healed

There was another man who responded to a “hip” word as he had just had a hip operation. We prayed for a fast recovery but also for his back because he was in pain. After prayer all the pain in his back left and he regained full movement and was bending over and touching his toes. At the time we thought this was related to his hip operation but he later told us he had a degenerative disorder in his spine but now had no pain or restrictions. God is so good!

Swollen Ears Healed

A lady responded to an “itching ears” word because her ears irritated her so much that she often scratched them leading to them becoming badly swollen. As we prayed for she said excitedly that she could feel the swelling going down!

There were many other stories of healing whilst treasure hunting and within the church, it was literally an amazing weekend of seeing God move powerfully.

Healings, testimonies and a yard brush!

2010-07-17T10:56:00.001+01:00

It has been a great few weeks for us because we have seen some amazing healings and also been very encouraged after attending a Firestorm conference led by Kevin & Theresa Dedmon from the Bethel church.

Treasure Hunting in Tunbridge Wells

Two ago we were out treasure hunting and here are our favourite stories.

Team 1 (Deborah, Peter, Rose & Nessa)

We went off to RVP food court after being led there and found a lady wearing “beads”, a “red t-Shirt” and an “unusual ring”. We found out that this lady and her friends had recently planted a church and were considering starting treasure hunting. They were encouraged to being picked out by God and saw this as God’s leading to get going with the treasure hunting!

We then went up to the millennium clock and met three guys that were drinking alcohol. One was wearing a “checked shirt” and another of them a “jacket”. One of their names was on our list too. We asked whether any of them had been hit hard by something, as that was on our map in the unusual category. The guys whose name we had said yes I was shot ten years ago and he was still in some pain. We were able to pray with him.

Later we met a group of young people that were wearing “unusual rings”, had a friend that had written a song called “blue sky”, one of whose name was on our map and another who had a sports injury. We were able to pray for their healing.

Team 2 (Henry, Mark & Shelagh)

Shortly after leaving the church we found three ladies wearing “flowery dresses”, one with “auburn hair” and all had “shiny toe nails”. When we went through our other clues we found that one had a “pain in the neck” and another had hearing problems (the actual clue was “hearing aid” and they laughed when they said it because they had just said to this lady that she needed a hearing aid!). The lady with the neck pain wanted us to pray for her, even before we offered, which we did and on the third time we prayed, we felt the presence of God touch her.

We then went off looking for a “bakery” and we found the staff were wearing “black t-shirts”. We went through the clues with the lady behind the counter and she was amazed that we had “staffing” (she was only in the shop because they had staffing shortages), her aunts name, her mum’s and dad’s health problems and the name of another member of staff who worked there. She knew God had picked her out. After we found out that her mum was working in the bakery, we offered to pray for her healing, so she went and found her mum who was working in the kitchen. Sadly her mum would not let us pray for her stomach condition, but thought initially we were clairvoyants. We have some ground to take back from the enemy!

Near the end we were looking for an “England top” but following the world cup results these were difficult to find! Henry suddenly saw a guy wearing an England rugby top, so we stopped to talk. What amazed him was that one of our unusual clues was “someone who uses their middle name as their first name”, which this guy does. This led to a good conversation and we were able to pray for him about God having a destiny for him.

Firestorm conference

Patrick, Shelagh & Mark were able to attend this conference in London at the weekend. It was encouraging to hear the stories coming out of the Bethel, especially how people they meet whilst treasure hunting encounter God powerfully when they get them to invite the Holy Spirit to come.

After some awesome teaching on identity and destiny, off we went treasure hunting. Mark & Patrick were able to lead groups of people that had not done it before.

Patrick’s team saw two people instantly healed, one who was jumping up and down after being healed from a sports injury in his foot.

Shelagh was very encouraged with one man they met because she had “yard brush” on her map, and he happened to have one with him! She also was able to pray for a boy who was bent double with “breathing difficulties”, after which he was instantly healed.

Mark had fun leading a team of energetic and enthusiastic treasure hunters, who often ran after someone who matched their clues! One girl on the team was amazed to see a man leaving a “coffee shop” with a “bunch of white flowers” and walking past a “pelican crossing”, matching the clues on her map. We were able to pray for a number of people for healing and an encounter with God’s presence.

Instant Healings!

2010-06-04T21:59:00.001+01:00

Following a very exciting Bill Johnson healing conference, we were itching to get out treasure hunting, so here are some of the stories from last weekend’s hunt.

Team 1 (Jeremy, Shelagh & Peter)

As we left the church building we got talking to a teenager who had “ginger hair”. She had been told by friends that “because she had ginger hair, she didn’t have a soul and so couldn’t go to heaven”. We were able to talk about this issue she had and also pray for her to be healed of panic attacks. After prayer she said “I think I need to go and buy a Bible”.

We found a man outside a “bookshop” who was wearing a “black top”. He had an eye problem after recently being mugged. We were able to pray for him and show God’s compassion.

We then found a man with a “black coat” on a “bench”. He had lost his car keys and we were able to pray with him that he would quickly find them.

Team 2 (Kate, Lesley & Patrick)

As we left the church we got talking to a group of teenagers, one of whose middle name was on our map. This guy had back pain and after praying the pain went in his words “down from a 10 to a 4”. We prayed again and the pain completely left!

We also prayed for another teenager outside the church that had “red hair” and “spine trouble”. We prayed twice for healing and on each occasion the pain reduced and went!

A little later we met a man outside a “shop” wearing “sunglasses” who was of “mixed race”. We got to pray for him and some relatives that are caught up in some political turmoil in another country.

We then went off to “Costa Coffee” and met a group of three girls, one of which was wearing “green”. One of her friends had a bad back and when we prayed for her she felt heat in her back. We prayed twice and the pain reduced each time.

Finally we got to pray and share God’s compassion for a teenage girl who had recently lost a friend from a heart attack.

Team 3 (Martyn & Mark)

We headed off to “M&S” in RVP and found a girl wearing a “green top”. She looked at the other clues and found that “skin disease” and “holding a bouquet of flowers at a family event” were relevant to her (she had recently held flowers at a family members funeral). She was a Christian and was very open to us praying for God to heal her skin condition.

We then headed into a Jeweller shop that was on our map and went through all our clues with three of the shop assistants. One of them had a Dad that had “cancer” and we were able to pray then and there for his healing. They were all a little overwhelmed after our prayer and we left them one of our new treasure cards with church details on.

We then went off to “Top Man” and got speaking to a girl that was selling “precious” jewellery outside the shop. She had regular “headaches behind the eyes” and had a granddad with “throat cancer”. We got to pray for her and her granddad.

We then went looking for further treasures at “bus stops”. After getting to one bus stop we both felt we needed to wait a few minutes after which we got drawn to a couple. The girl was wearing a “green top” that had “pain in her side” and a “purple streak in her hair”. The guy’s middle name was on our map as was his sport “martial arts”. Despite being picked out by God they were unwilling to accept prayer for healing.

One of our remaining clues was a “post box” and so we went to an area in town that God put in our minds not knowing whether there was a post box there or not. Of course there was and we got speaking to a man in a “red top” that has a friend who had “throat cancer” that we were able to pray for.

On the way back to the church we passed through the food court at RVP and noticed a group of teenagers, one of who was wearing a green leather jacket. We decided this was close enough to our “green top” clue so we went over and went through all our clues with them. The girl with the green jacket had a skin condition and we were able to pray for her and a guy sitting next to her wanted us to pray for his degenerative eye condition which we did. Mark was able to share testimony of how God healed him of astigmatism a few years ago.

So together we had an exciting afternoon’s treasure hunt and saw three people instantly healed. I am sure as well that some of the others we prayed for will also be healed, even though we could not know for certain at the time we prayed. Please pray for them to be healed and for all we spoke to develop a desire to have a relationship with Jesus.

Treasure Hunting

Here are some of the stories from last weekend’s treasure hunt.

Team 1 (Peter, Shelagh & Abigail)

This was Abigail’s first time treasure hunting in Tunbridge Wells and she has a very specific clue of a person wearing a “shirt with a red lion and a black coat” and she also had the location of “Tesco”. So off we went and unsurprisingly we found our treasure! We asked if the man needed healing as per our other clues but he said he did not have any pain in the areas of his body that the clues identified. Shelagh was then prompted to ask if he had pain in his arms or legs and he said he did, so they were then able to pray for healing!

We then went off to a “music shop” and were glad to find that the owner was “David”. Though the owner was not very open we had a very good conversation with another member of staff in the shop.

We had a similar experience in the next shop that had “butterflies” and “flowers” in the window and got to talk to one of the shop assistants, even though she was not very interested.

We then headed for the “ice cream” stall in RVP and met a girl who was worried about her “future” had some “decisions” to make around school subject options and was looking for “peace.” We were able to show God’s concern for her and she allowed us to pray for her.

During the hunt we also met an acquaintance of Shelagh’s and we found out that she was a Christian, which was very encouraging. We also got to pray for her.

Team 3 (Mark, Rose & Jemimah)

On our maps we had “BHS” so we went off to the store in RVP to see if anyone there matched our other clues. After looking for five minutes and not finding anyone Mark decided to start talking to a group of teenage girls sitting outside the store because one of them was wearing “red”. As we read out our clues to them the girl wearing red said that the clue “bridge over troubled water” meant something to her, it was the song that was played at a relative’s funeral a year ago. “Loss” was also a clue on our maps. Though she did not accept our offer her prayer she and her friends were stirred up by our visit!

Another clue we had was “green shop” so we went to various stores that had green signage to see if we could find anymore treasure. We were able to pray for a number of different people to be healed, feel God’s presence and encouraged one lady to get back into a church. Some of our clues matched people’s name or clothing colour and this enabled us to open up conversation and ask them why they thought God had pick them out today.

As time was running out we wondered what to do with the last ten minutes and we noticed that we had not gone to the “telephone box” location. When we got there Mark noticed a charity group wearing green outside Boots (noting the “green shop” clue). We started talking to two of them and shared our clues. To our surprise one of them went off to the other charity workers and dragged a couple over as she thought they would be more open to what we were doing! One of the guys that came over saw a connection with the name “TIM” as it was his initials backward! He also had “leg pain” and was searching after God. He pulled out a book that he was reading which contained a number of short stories. He showed us a story called “God Signs” which was about two people talking and one of them was asking the other how could he pray so fervently to a God that is unseen and may not be real? We explained that the clues we had were “God signs” and spoke to him about Jesus. He also accepted our prayer for healing and as we prayed the presence of God came on him and he said he felt “tranquillity”. God is indeed good!

Further stories

An organised treasure hunt is not the only time we can find God’s treasure. Jeremy in the church recently shared a story where he met a man whilst shopping in town and through his treasure hunting experience was able to speak to him about Jesus and pray for him.

Nick also got to pray for a lady in a doctors surgery that he was doing some building work on. He started by sharing some personal testimonies and church healing testimonies at which point she asked him to pray for her healing needed, which of course he agreed to! As he prayed he presence of God came and he began to shake, which was not a problem for the lady after he explained what was happening.

A few days ago I got to pray for a school mum who was picking up a child from my house who had been playing with one of my children. As I was talking to one of my children God said loudly to me “headaches!” as this school mum was about to walk out the front door. I called across the living room “do you suffer from regular headaches?” She said yes and Fiona and I were able to pray for her healing.

Also 2-3 weeks ago whilst at Legoland when I was about to get off a ride God spoke to me about the member of staff helping people off. As I got off, realising I only had a few seconds; I asked him whether he was a Christian which he said he was. I then said “God want me to tell you that you have a destiny”. He responded very negatively at first not believing this but as he let the word affect him he started to wonder it was true.

Let these stories encourage you and stir you to open your eyes to those that God wants to speak to and heal that you come across across in your daily routines.

The teenagers were just queuing up for prayer!

2010-04-01T20:41:00.001+01:00

We had an amazing treasure hunt last week. We had the opportunity to talk to and pray for a good number of people.

Here is how it went...

Team 1 (Shelaugh, Rose, Jeremy & Lawrie)

We followed our clues to the “clock tower” and we met a man wearing “black”. He had gone to church in his youth and we were able to talk and pray for him about his faith.

We then got talking to a political group that were campaigning outside “starbucks”. We were able to answer many of their questions, share our testimonies and pray for one of the group to have an encounter with God’s presence and for his Dad to be healed.

Team 2 (Patrick, Kate & Wendy)

We set off to “M&S” to where the “carrots” were and we got talking to a lady that was nearby. One of our other clues was “money worries” and this was particularly relevant to her. We spoke to her about God’s kindness and we got to pray for her and her forthcoming grandchild. She welled up as God began to touch her.

We then went to the “orange” phone shop and met a woman with a “brown jacket” who had a “corn” on her foot. We were able to pray for healing.

Then it started to rain heavily and whilst under cover we got to speak to a lady and even though none of our clues matched she accepted our prayer for her son.

We then went to the “barn” and met a couple wearing “green rain coats”. The lady was a little defensive but said that Christians were always happy and wished she had what we had!

Team 3 (Mark, Jemimah, Jessica & Peter)

We went to the “ice cream” stall in RVP and began to talk to one of the servers wearing a “cap”. She had problems with her “wrists”, “ankle” and “lower spine” and we prayed for healing. She said she was a pagan and we noticed later that another one of our clues was “moon and stars”.

We then walked up to “Hawkins Bazaar” and looked for some minutes for people that matched our descriptive clues. Whilst we were there man came up to empty the bins next to where we were sitting. His name was one of our clues and we ended up praying for him about “anger and fear” and encouraged him to get back to church.

We carried on up to the “post office” and met a lady wearing a “red coat” and a “cap”. She was currently having treatment for cancer and after listening to us share some healing testimonies she accepted prayer for healing.

The Finale

All the teams then started to head back to the church for a debrief. Once we arrived we noticed there were a number of groups of teenagers sitting around. Patrick had the idea to try and see if any of his group’s unfound clues were relevant. This spurred some others into action and we found three girls that had names on our maps.

We prayed for the first girl that had a “sore foot” and a second girl to encounter God’s love and presence. When the second girl visibly experienced God’s presence and said she felt peaceful her friends started to ask if they could “have a turn”. We ended up talking to and praying for over ten teenagers to experience God and help them with their exams. At times we also prophesied things about their lives to show that God knew them. They were simply amazed. We also spoke to them about God’s kindness, love and concern for them. We invited a number to attend the Easter service.

What we experienced reminds us that the harvest is indeed ready to be picked! Treasure hunting helps us find where this ripe harvest is (as per Julian Adams prophecy to us a few years back).

As He leads …

Street Encounters in Sevenoaks

Two weeks ago Fiona went with some of the youth from the church to the Julian Adams conference. She was able to take four of the girls treasure hunting and they had some exciting stories to tell and were even awarded a loaf of bread from one of their encounters!

One of our clues was "sewing shop", once inside we found "buttons" and "ribbons" (all clues from 3 different team members!) and found the girl behind the counter's name was there too. She let us pray for her about doing her A levels this summer since she was so anxious about them.

We then got to pray for a lady wearing "diamond earrings" with a "brown dog on a chain lead" at a "bus stop". She told us that a good friend had recently died. She let us hold her hand and we prayed that God would touch her and her friend's family in their time of grief.

We then saw a shop called Mousetrap (I had "Cat and Mouse" as one of my unusual clues and decided that was close enough!!!). As we walked into the shop we saw a girl holding "helium balloons" because it was her "birthday", standing next to a T-shirt with a huge "butterfly" on it. we showed her our map and she said that she did have a "tooth problem " that had been painful. Since she was in her early teens I said I would like to ask a parent if it was ok to pray for her. It turned out that her Mum owned the shop and Grandma was behind the counter. When we asked the grandma if we could pray for her grand-daughter's tooth problem she asked if we could pray for her daughter too who was poorly with a bad back!!! We took hold of grandma's hand and prayed for all three generations!!!!!

Another clue we had was "picnic". We saw a lady selling lots of beautiful breads and home-made goodies and felt drawn to her (not her wares!). On one of our treasure maps the only thing written under need was "stomach pain" and "cataracts". She was visibly taken aback and said "that's incredible, I have both of those , how could you know that?" She went on to explain that she had been so ill with stomach infections last year that she almost died. Despite having had an operation she still had stomach pain. She had also very recently been diagnosed with cataracts in both eyes.

I told her that out of thousands of people in Sevenoaks that day, that she was God's treasure and that He had singled her out. She began to well up with tears. I asked her name and if we could hold her hand and pray for her. She agreed. We all held her hand and prayed for God to heal her.

After doing so, one of our team asked if they could try one of the little bread samples that she had put out . She replied "I am so touched by what you have done, please take a whole loaf"

Isn't God good?

Treasure Hunting in Tunbridge Wells

Last weekend we were out treasure hunting again and here is how we got on ...

As we gathered to worship and prepare ourselves to go out I felt the Holy Spirit direct to ask if anyone needed healing. Three of the team responded and we prayed twice for their healing. Nessa had a migraine coming on and after the second time of prayer it left her, meaning she was a lot more at ease to go out treasure hunting. Kate’s stiff neck saw some improvement.

This was a great encouragement even before we go out!

We then divided into five teams and off we went.

Team 1 (Patrick, Jessica & Henry)

Our first treasure was wearing a “green coat, had “blue eyes” and was eating a “MacDonald's”. They were able to chat about God with them.

Another person we met was by a “jeep”, wearing a “denim shirt”, “glasses”, “white scarf” and their name was on the map. We were able to talk to them about being God’s treasure.

We then met a lady sitting on a “bench by a tree”, near a shop that had a “heart” balloon display. The names of two people that work for her were on Henry’s treasure map, which most encouraged him. We had a good conversation with her.

Team 2 (Martyn, Kathleen & Phillippa)

We met a lady with “red hair” that had “no where to call home” and started to talk to her about being God’s treasure. Her friend of hers then turned up whose baby son in a push chair had a “chest infection” and whose middle name was on their map. We had a fruitful conversation and were able to pray for the lady with “red hair”.

We also met a man outside “Blockbusters”, next to a poster that had a “top hat” in it and who was wearing a “purple top”. We had a good conversation with him about being picked out by God .

Team 3 (Lawrie, Nessa & Cassie)

We had a great conversation with a group of youngsters and others joined in and wanted to look through the maps to see any relevance to them! One was surprised to see the clue “Shaun the sheep” under the unusual category, which he said he "digged" very much!

Team 4 (Peter, Shelagh, Lesley & Heather)

We went off the to “market square” and bumped into someone who used to come to the youth impact event held at the church some years back. He said he often bumps into church members as God is after him. We were able to speak to him about how God loves him even though he has “messed up his life”.

Other clues also led us into Millets and found a man who works with a member of the church in Tunbridge Wells. He said that he was on the verge of coming to church for the first time. We had a great conversation with him and were able to pray for him and his mum, who had cancer.

Team 5 (Mark, Jemimah & Kate)

We followed our clues to “Starbucks” where we were looking for a girl who had her “hair up”. She was drinking coffee with a friend outside the shop and we got talking to them both. Her friend’s name was on the treasure map and also was her love of “horse” riding. She was somewhat surprised as she had been discussing with some friends the day before about God and so we were able to talk to her about how God desires each one of us to reach out and find him. We then prayed for her to encounter God.

We also talked to about five other people from following our clues, including a lady “wearing a white scarf”, who had “hurtful memories of the past” and whose aunts name was on the map. Sadly she closed up after she found out we were Christians but we did pray for her to encounter God as we went on our way.

We were able to pray for about three people to be healed, the most memorable being a man in a cafe that had an “ankle problem” and Kate boldly prayed for him in the middle of packed cafe.

Overall it was a great afternoon, with many meaningful encounters and some very accurate clues. Some people are finding that God is real, cares for them and wants to show them his goodness!

View the latest video report (bottom left of screen) from Kevin Dedmon's team as they visit Haiti to bring the power and presence of God.

Our latest stories

2010-02-05T19:15:00.001Z

Last weekend twelve of us went out treasure hunting and here is how we got on.

· Lawrie and Peter got to meet a man who had a FEAR OF CANCER (on their treasure map) and were able to talk to him about it. Another team then recognised this man (as he was a neighbour of one of the team members) and were able to join the other team in praying for him. The man was tangibly affected by the prayer and afterwards thanked both teams profusely

· One team met a man whilst on the way to their next map location who had a WALKING STICK and a STIFF NECK. The man had just finished an Alpha at a church in Tunbridge Wells and was very encouraged to be on a treasure map! The team then prayed for his healing and laid hands on him in the middle of the street, which brought a number of interesting looks from passers by!

· Karen had TOMATOES and ORANGES on her treasure map. So the team went to Tesco and found the fruit and veg section. The team felt the presence of God there so knew they had to wait for the treasure to turn up. About 5-10 minutes later a lady approached wearing a BLUE SCARF and after introducing themselves found that she had CONCERN FOR BROTHER who had multiple injuries following an ACCIDENT. The team were then able to pray for her and her brother

· After being prompted by the Holy Spirit, Mark approached a waiter at a restaurant and asked him to look at the treasure map. To the waiters surprise the name of his ex-girlfriends parents were on there and also his KNEE CONDITION. Mark was then able to pray for his healing and an encounter with God

· The most amusing story comes from Heather. She was in Waterstones bookshop and was approached by a man who was signing his newly launched book. She was given a bookmark (which was advertising the new book) that included a question about the purpose of life and destiny. She countered what it said by using her treasure map and explaining that we are alive to reach out and find God. To his amazement his name was on her treasure map but he did not believe in God. It is amazing that on the day this man launches his book to give a scientific basis for life, God sends someone to tell him the real answers to the questions he tries to answer in his book!

There are also many other stories from the teams that went out which could also be included here. It was a very encouraging afternoon!

We have also been praying for each other to have more opportunities within our daily routines and God is answering our prayers! Within the last two weeks:

· Fiona was able to speak to the Tesco home delivery driver about a friend who had cancer after hearing from the Holy Spirit about the situation earlier that day in her quiet time

· Patrick got to encourage an acquaintance to seek God further, who had recently been prayed for by a treasure hunting team in Norwich that had accurate clues about him

· Mark got the opportunity to pray for a shop assistant in Halfords about recurring headaches after receiving a prophetic word whilst shopping there

· Martyn, whilst on his way to work on a train, got to pray for an acquaintance who had a number of injuries following a recent car accident

· Others received prophetic words but did not quite find the courage to step out

We are learning that the “harvest is plentiful” and that we just need Jesus eyes to see it!

Latest Treasure hunt & Wild Evangelism 2009

2009-12-23T20:45:00.001Z

The Wild Evangelism stream went treasure hunting last weekend and here are some of the stories.

One team met a guy who matched six clues; outside the shop Boots, red hair, hearing loss, wearing brown boots, loved tomatoes and felt misjudged. They were able to pray for him. It was interesting to note that he was also found by a treasure hunting team from the Culture of Honour Conference two weeks earlier.

They then went on to meet a girl who matched two clues; wearing brown boots and was outside The Body Shop. She was due to be baptised a St John's Church that evening and the team was able to pray for a fab evening and an encounter with God.

Finally they met a guy who matched the clue of ‘bear’ as he was dressed as a polar bear! He was brought up as a Christian but still had a number of questions. The team were able to answer some of his questions about the Bible and free will.

Another team met the same lady in two of their treasure map locations. At the first one she was very surprised and said "how did you know to find us here because we only decided to come here a few minutes ago"? God knew!

Can God use me?

The team are growing in their treasure hunting ability. It has been exciting to me to see how people have grown since the Wild Evangelism Stream started in May this year.

At the beginning many were unsure whether they could hear God, have the courage to approach their treasure and see a miracle when they prayed.

Now seven months on many in the stream can answer a resounding yes to all these points! Many are learning to take risk and partner with the Holy Spirit to see a miracle.

There has been a growth in evangelistic gifting and activity within New Life Church. A year ago there were very few people that had prayed for and seen a miracle happen outside a church meeting. Now this has grown to about ten people, whether the miracle happened at work, home or during a treasure hunt.

The stream members are starting to feel more confident in their evangelistic gift, getting to grips with their identity in Christ and starting to believe miracles could be a normal part of their life.

The skills they are learning are not just reserved for the treasure hunts. The other week at Alpha one of the team had a picture of a person receiving a letter that caused them to be unsettled. They approached a guest and shared this picture with them. The guest said they had received a letter the day before and were worried about it as it was a letter from a doctor about their health. The team member was then able to share God’s compassion with the guest and pray for healing.

Miracle Stories

Over this eight months the stream has also seen some remarkable miracles. Here are a few of them:

Martyn praying for a colleague at work and seeing him instantly healed from a painful neck condition. Click here for the full story.
Roy praying for a man on a treasure hunt with a knee condition and seeing it immediately healed. Click here for the full story.
Patrick praying for a guest in his house and seeing her completely healed of a back condition that required her to walk on crutches. Click here for the full story.
Mark praying for an Alpha guest and seeing him healed of Hepatitis C. Click here for the full story.
Mark & Fiona praying for an Alpha guest and seeing her healed from headaches, acid reflux condition and irritable bowel syndrome. Click here for the full story.

Looking forward to 2010

Goals for the stream for next year will be centred around seeing more people activated into the miraculous, praying to see more supernatural encounters in our daily lives (not just on organised treasure hunts) and to grow in faith to lead more people to Christ.

So how can I summarise what we have learnt? To quote Kevin Dedmon from The Bethel Church in California:

“When we pray, God comes and when God comes he does good things, because he is a good God in a good mood, and that is the Good News!”

God knows where people are

2009-11-24T13:26:00.001Z

It was great to go out treasure hunting again at the weekend and we had a number of ‘first timers’ with us. Using the clues we received, it was amazing to find people at the right location at the right time, with one lady saying to us “how did you know we would be here, when we only decided a few minutes ago to come here?”

Here are some of our stories.

One of the teams met a lady outside WAITROSE, wearing a BLUE COAT, whose name was on their treasure map and whose husband had RECENTLY DIED. They were able to share God’s compassion with her and she accepted their offer for prayer.

A little later this team met a girl outside THE ANGEL CENTRE, with RED DYED HAIR who had a PEANUT ALLERGY. Though it was disappointing that this girl would not accept prayer for healing, one of the first timers was really encouraged as the only clue they had on their map was red dyed hair!

Another team met a man outside the POST OFFICE wearing a GREEN COAT. He poured out his heart to the team about a number of difficulties in his life and the team were able to pray for him. After prayer he said that he had a Christian Grandmother of 94 that regularly prays for him! They were encouraged that they were an answer to someone else’s prayer.

They then met a man getting into a RED CAR outside the LIBRARY who had SHARP PAIN. They offered to pray for his healing but he turned them down. They were though encouraged that they had found their treasure.

The team I was part of met a man selling GRAPES whose dad had HEART ISSUES and whose name was on their treasure map. One of the team then was able to pray for his Dad’s healing.

We also found a girl in a SHOPPING ARCADE who was wearing a LEATHER JACKET and a SCARF. I approached her confidently knowing she was one of God’s treasures and asked her if her name was one of the names on my map and she said it was! She then looked through the other clues on the teams treasure maps and it was fun to find out that two of the team had LAMB in the unusual category on their maps and that this girl called her dog a lamb because it jumps, skips and runs like a lamb! We were then able to pray for her about her future, and shared with her that God had a plan for her life. She was very open to hear what we had to say about Jesus.

Though it was unusual for us not to see at least one instant healing it was very encouraging to see that we are getting better at finding treasure.

It is also encouraging to see that people are getting bolder. For example one team found two of their clues, RED WOOLEN HAT and GREEN HAIR ACCESSORY, in MONSOON. There were no customers in the shop so they approached all four staff that were at the till and went through all of their treasure map clues to try and find something relevant. They did not find any connection with any of the staff but really felt God’s pleasure in them being so bold!

Healing Testimonies From Alpha

2009-11-03T17:33:00.001Z

The ‘Does God Heal Today?’ evening at the Tunbridge Wells Alpha occurred two weeks ago and here are some healing testimonies that we have collected from the guests.

Two of the prophetic words we had on the night were “pinned bones” and “shoulder pain”. One of the guys identified to both of these saying that they had been caused by a car crash. Since being prayed for the pain in his shoulder is significantly better and he can now move his arm without pain!

A lady on the course said she had suffered for a few years with hip pain and it was getting worse. She recently went for an x-ray and the results showed she had arthritis. Since being prayed for she has had no pain or discomfort, “not even a twinge”!

Another lady asked us to pray for a number of health issues which included headaches, reflux and irritable bowl syndrome (IBS). Since being prayed for her headaches have stopped, the reflux has gone and the doctors have reduced her medication for IBS because it is improving! She is also now sleeping properly for the first time in years.

This same lady had also been suffering from nightmares which also stopped after she was prayed for. One of the dreams was about a family member who was gagged and trying to say something. A few days after we prayed this same family member revealed a twenty year old secret to the lady on Alpha which was very significant. God is very clearly bringing his kingdom into this lady’s life.

God is good and we as an Alpha team are very thankful that Jesus continues to perform miracles in our midst!

The weekends treasure hunting

2009-10-26T17:29:00.002Z

We had a good time on Saturday treasure hunting in Tunbridge Wells. We found most of our treasure, sometimes having 4 or 5 clues identifying one individual.

Here are some of the stories.

As we left to go out, there was a group of young people sheltering from the rain by the church door. In this group there was a girl that was wearing a RED JERSEY and a SHORT SKIRT. We showed her our treasure maps and she identified the clues HEART and LEG were relevant to her. We offered to pray and then asked her name. She said it was Harriet after which I pointed out another clue which was MAD HATTER. She responded by saying this is what her Dad called her when she was young. She was very moved that God has picked her out. We then prayed for her heart and leg.

Another team met a lady near the ENTRANCE TO RVP with a SHOULDER BAG who had recently LOST SOMEONE. They were able to pray for her. All three of these clues were on one person’s map which greatly encouraged them.

Later in the afternoon the group I met a lady outside CLINTON CARDS with an AUSTRALIAN HAT and BLACK SATCHEL. It was amusing because she had just brought the hat a few moments earlier! As she looked at the treasure maps she saw HEART and mentioned that her Mum has just had a heart operation and asked if we could pray, which we did. The presence of God came and the lady then started to speak about her past in the Salvation Army. God’s grace and comfort came to her.

One of the team had only been treasure hunting once before but this time found it much easier. In discussion with a shop assistant outside M&S she found her name was EMILY and was wearing one of her owb clues which was a HAND MADE SILVER RING. She was able to answer one or two of her questions about Jesus.

Earlier when we were praying in the church a man had walked in by mistake thinking he was some where else. Later during the treasure hunt one team found this man and was able to answer a number of questions he had about God. One question in particular was about whether all roads lead to God, which I had given the group an answer to previously because I had felt it would come up that afternoon!

There were two or three other people we met as per our clues but who sadly would not let us pray for them.

It was a very encouraging afternoon, roll on the next time!

Healing at Alpha

2009-10-06T12:10:00.002+01:00

Last night at Alpha one of the guests arrived complaining of a headache. I started to think I could pray for them later in the evening but felt prompted by the Holy Spirit to pray straight away.

So I offered to pray for the guest which they accepted and the headache immediately went! The guest also felt the presence of God, which they described as an amazing feeling of peace.

I also received a prophetic word over dinner about a health condition of one of the other guests I was speaking to. At the end of the question time I mentioned this to the guest and offered to pray. The accepted and were quite moved by our prayers. This condition needs to be tested so we shall wait and see what God has done.

We also had a prophetic word about one or more people having dreams they did not understand, which I mentioned at the end of the talk. During the group discussion a number of the guests described some disturbing dreams that they were having and this gave us an opportunity to pray for them that God would take them away.

Holy Spirit led evangelism is fun, exciting, fruitful and a lot easier!

Healing over a cup of Tea

2009-09-30T12:28:00.003+01:00

Patrick is a member of the Wild Evangelism Life Stream. He has only been a Christian for about a year but is already enjoying the fruit of taking risks.

The other day he bumped into a member of the church and invited them home for a cup of tea. Whilst they were enjoying their cup of tea another visitor to the house arrived using some crutches. So Patrick and his friend offered to pray for the visitor which they accepted. The visitor was very pleased to find the pain in their kneck had left. A little while later the visitor said that the pain in their back remained, so Patrick and his friend prayed for their back and the pain immediately went! The visitor said they felt heat like a hot water bottle had been put under their skin and said today that the swelling in their back had gone down as a result of their prayer.

God is good and is very willing to heal those around us.
