Australia

• You’ve Got to Move:  Team adopts the title “You’ve Got To Move.” Through the ministry of Bridge for Peace, Australians experience the “normality” of praying for healing in Jesus’ name. The healing of Christ operates through normal people who believe in the power of the blood of Jesus shed at the cross to bring us new life and health.

• Even the Small Things:  In a share session at one of the meetings, a grandparent learns the importance of testifying to what the Lord has done no matter how “little “ she thinks it is as she experiences the healing of her wrist when she gives written testimony about it.

• Annette Testifies:

The Joy of running. A 28 year old man born with 2 club feet was prayed for and both feet straightened! He returned afterwards and stated that his feet were still hurting.  This time he removed the orthotics and was able to jog for the first time in his life!

You’ve Got to Move. Because of a surfing accident 13 years earlier, Peter was confined to a wheelchair. He sat bent over the armrest with his nose pointed to the ground and his fingers misshapen. As he received prayer, his fingers and arms began to straighten. Team members helped him to stand up and walk about. His back also straightened. Later his desire to walk into his son’s house was fulfilled. Two weeks later he was sitting straight, his fingers had softened and he was looking up. As he continued to exercise, his condition improved. He was told “Remember. You’ve got to move!”

• Sharron Remembers These Miracles: Australian team member Sharron recalls miracles as she and her team prayed in Temora, and at the Women’s Aglow meeting in Newcastle West. And, at E. Maitland, a marvelous testimony of God responding to the prayers of those who worship Him in spirit and in truth!

• Another Temora Testimony: A lady with congenital curvature of the spine and other spinal abnormalities, causing her to be unable to raise her arm, received a gloomy medical prognosis for any relief. The next day she attended a Bridge for Peace healing service and asked for prayer for back pain. The team also prayed for her shoulder without being told about it. She felt warmth as they prayed and experienced full motion in her shoulder.
  

• Love this from Gillian of Temora: Gillian of Temora reports on the unbelievable (NO! TOTALLY BELIEVABLE! ANNETTE CORRECTED) miracles done by the Lord: hearing restored, cataracts removed, a 13 year old boy afflicted with Osgood Schlatter’s disease in both knees, cured and able to participate in sports, a lady relieved of severe shoulder pain, all through the power of prayer in Jesus’ name.

• Kirstin’s Amazing Testimony: 15 year old Kirsten experiences relief from depression experienced over two years and also healing in her back from a sports injury. Afterwards, she attends a Holy Spirit workshop where she prays for her sister whose shoulder injury is healed.

• Note from Laurel: Laurel writes of suffering pharyngitis wherein she would regularly experience “audible knocking” that would wake her up, cause her to feel a fast heart beat and experience acute stress. After prayer the knocking stopped and she also felt relief from throat pain.

• Renae Makes an Impression: Australian team member Renae shares her experience at a Gifts of the Holy Spirit workshop. As workshop members open their hearts to the Holy Spirit through worship and prayer, the Holy Spirit releases the operation of the gifts of the Spirit in the Word, prophecy, interpretation of prophecy, and miracles. The group feels prepared to go forth and make an impression for Christ to the world.

• Australian Intern: Renae Has Her Say:  Renae, from Australia, a Bridge for Peace intern, writes on her visit to the USA this past summer. She and Annette journeyed to the “Big Apple” and we can only imagine how the city was blessed just by her visit. Her article, reflecting on her Holy Spirit fire for God, has to be read to be believed. Truly she is set apart for the work of the Great Commission.

God has a purpose requiring wholehearted submission to His Will as we await our marching orders.
• An Expression of Love: An appeal for financial support is made for the multifaceted operations of Bridge for Peace. So much is accomplished with so little resources and so few volunteers.

• The Bridge for Peace Praise Trolley: Read about the first Bridge for Peace Praise Trolley. Yes, there we were traipsing around Long Island on a trolley, singing songs and sharing the Lord. A hardy group indeed considering the heavy downpour which greeted us, but which did not muffle the clang clang clang of the trolley.
• In All Kinds of Weather – The Praise Cruise: The annual Bridge for Peace Praise Cruise attracted a full boatload of hearty nautical types not intimidated by stormy forecasts. The ride to the boat was the easiest ever as other less sturdy sailors from other boats elected to stay home. A great day at sea.
