Rodney & Jean Francis

Prayer Support Letter

November 2006

Another busy month of ministry has come and gone, and we are very pleased to be able to report that many lives in the United Kingdom have been blessed and impacted by The GFM Team of Rodney Francis, Len Buttner, Kerry Wright and Barry Sluiters visit to those shores. It was good to see numbers stepping out in the Spiritual Gifts, seeing pictures and visions, and even capturing the prophetic in drawing form. We ministered in six Ministers Meetings, besides the busy itinerary around some churches. The prophetic words over peoples' lives were well received, knowing that they were being spoken by men who did not know the circumstances that many were currently experiencing. Others testified of "words" given on previous trips having come to pass and/or of opening up doors of opportunity to minister in new areas, and even countries. Here are just four reports from our trip:

St. Mellons, Cardiff (Wales): "We have so appreciated the time you've spent with us here in St. Mellons again. Your unique ministry has certainly helped to unlock the church into a greater response to the Holy Spirit. Thank you for sharing your heart and your care. May God continue to open Heaven's Gates above to you and keep you going in Him! Every blessing" ~ Pastor Paul & Evelyn Houiellebecq, and all in "The Beacon Centre."

Northampton (England): We had an excellent weekend at the "Elim Christian Centre" in Northampton. God knit a number of ministry hearts together, and gave some strategies for the church locally and internationally in the days ahead - all very encouraging. Here are some comments from the Pastor: "I felt that God was specifically speaking to the church about its responsibility, its mission.

1.. Releasing ministries all over their world and to the world. This means for me, to have effective evangelism we need to release people. Over the past few months we have been speaking on giving, mainly on finance, but over the weekend God clearly clarified to me that the key to growing the church was giving people away, releasing them into the ministry. We will reap what we sow.

2.. Having a strong "Jerusalem" Church. In order for the church to fulfil its mission there has to be a good foundation, a good home church, as there will be many people released into ministry all over the world I believe God was saying He wants our Jerusalem to be established and strong, and to influence our city, Northampton.

3.. Many people were personally encouraged by the team. Thanks for your input and encouragement it was great having you all. God bless" ~ Pastor Jason Heron.

Tewkesbury Baptist (England): Thank you for spending time with us here in Tewkesbury. Your investment has been significant for all who attended the meetings. Pray that those of us in leadership will have the wisdom to allow the Holy Spirit to continue His work in our Fellowship, and through the Body into our community, and this world. May you continue in His blessing and experience His power ~ Pastor Bill & Pam O'Leary.

Report from the Isle Of Man: "Thank you both so much for taking the trouble to come out to our Island and minister to us. The prophetic words you and Kerry (Wright) spoke over members of my congregation were, in my opinion, very accurate and have had a significant impact on their lives. Furthermore, many of the people who attended the seminars are now willing to prophesy with confidence. I put this to the test yesterday, which was the first Sunday service after your departure. I arrived at church armed with a newly purchased miniature tape recorder. During the worship I called a married couple out of the congregation and sat them at the front facing the congregation. After speaking prophetic words over husband and wife I invited members of the church to do likewise and they did not disappoint! The couple went back to their seats having been greatly touched by the Holy Spirit. They heard clearly from God through the obedience of several willing members of the congregation. Thanks to Kerry also for his input, especially to my worship leader, on prophetic music. We are expecting to use music more in the area of the prophetic now. My church has been left with a deep hunger for more of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit in their lives, and especially the Prophetic Ministry. It is now my intention to lead the church through the "School Of The Holy Spirit" manual over the coming months and combine the teaching with practical exercises which will encourage the church to step out and practice what they have learned about the Gifts of the Holy Spirit.

As I said on the last day you were here, Rodney, I have greatly benefited from your ministry since I first met you in 2003. I put my continual hunger for more of the prophetic down to your obedience to God in stepping out in faith to bring the message that God has given you to the churches of the U.K. and other parts of the world, that we need to continually stir up the gifts of God that are in us (2 Timothy 1:6) and constantly encourage their use whilst rejecting fear (2 Timothy 1:7). If there is ever an opportunity for you to come here again you would always be so welcome.

I have had seven more orders for the "School of The Holy Spirit" manuals so if I include the list already made up we will need twenty. I will put the money into your NatWest account as soon as possible. I am praying for you and want to do all I can to support your ministry. Every Blessing and Love in Christ" ~ Pastor Simon Ricketts ("Living Waters Elim Church," Douglas, Isle Of Man).

We are extremely grateful to Steve and Jane Blake for their wonderful generosity in loaning us a Vauxhall Vectra station wagon for our time in the U.K. If ever any of you require a rental vehicle in the U.K. why not check out Steve at Jafvans Rentals (Harrow, London). If you tell Steve that you got his contact from "The Gospel Faith Messenger" Ministry in New Zealand, he will tithe off the rental to you to "The GFM" Ministry. Steve can be contacted on Telephone: 0208 864 2650; Fax: 0208 423 3666; or e-mail: [email protected]. Check their Website: www.jafvans.co.uk

Be encouraged as you pray for us in The Gospel Faith Messenger Ministry. We value your ongoing prayer support very much and we continually thank God for those who uphold us in this way. Your prayers are being answered, for we do see the hand of the Lord at work touching many peoples lives through this International Ministry. We desire to see many more won to Jesus Christ with a commitment to do His will, whatever that takes. THANK YOU SO MUCH to every one of you who do pray for us!

We leave you with these challenging thoughts: "Fight sin ~ don't just lean on grace. If you embrace sin in the knowledge that you can find grace, then you will live in mediocrity...Sin is undignified for a child of God. It has the effect of enclosing you in and making your world too small. Break out from sin, it shall not have dominion over you; and see what is possible. The enemy is out to limit you and keep you small, but 'I live in you', says the Lord 'and want to operate out of a pure and functioning temple. I have made you clean and want to raise your understanding of the potential I have placed within you. It is time to turn your possibilities into realities'" ~ Pastor John Bullock (Porth, South Wales, U.K.).
