A Wonderful Month Of AOHG Courses!

Together with Wendy and Andy Cowgill, I am here in Bolton on the last leg of an Art Of Hearing God (AOHG) being hosted by our increasingly dear friends Mike and Carin Johnson. They felt some months ago that the Lord was nudging them to use the large and lovely former cotton baron's house they rent as a Training and Equipping Centre for the North West (and maybe beyond!). The training room is relatively small - a maximum of 20 for an AOHG Course where desks/tables are pretty essential - but the atmosphere Mike & Carin have developed and the welcome they give to anyone and everyone who passes through their door is such that the Course has been incredibly relational, safe and free-flowing. It's a joy to be here and because a number of the students are also staying on site, there is lots of inter-action and fun; there's laughter everywhere, which is healing and healthy. God bless Mike & Carin; Streams Training Centre, England will be doing more Courses here - including an Understanding Dreams and Visions Course in February 2011 (18-19).

8-10th October we did an AOHG in Cheltenham and we are due to do the same Course in London SE4 (Crofton Park Baptist Church)28-30th October and Chesham (King' Church Chesham offices)4-6th November. Now Dwee and I and the rest of our team absolutely love teaching this wonderful material of John Paul Jackson's because it changes lives under the anointing of Holy Spirit, and increasingly we are meeting wonderful people on these Courses who are hungry for more in the whole revelatory realm. Here in Bolton apart from 'locals' we have a woman from the Czech Republic, a Lithuanian woman who lives in Greater Manchester, someone from Darlington in the North East and someone from Cambridge. The presence of God in these training Courses is palpable and ever-present. Our God is so good and what a privilege it is to teach such life-changing material. Thank you God!

We are continually reminding ourselves of Canev Clayton's vision of a trained army of prophetically gifted people rising up out of the ground as one, ready and equipped and waiting to hear the command of the King of Kings and obey that call. It has become for us almost a mission statement for Streams Training Centre, England as we seek to train, equip and release submitted, godly and gifted people back to their churches to work with (not against) their leadership in order to build up annd bless the local church. It's exciting, pioneering work and we love doing it because it is releasing godly wisdom and LIFE in the Spirit to a fresh wave of believers. What a blessing.

New Training Centre, England Near To Opening

Only a month since the team from Bethel were here - and that was an AMAZING time! - and we have now taken possession of a new Unit on an industrial estate here in Cheltenham which will double up as church office for The Bridge, Cheltenham and also provide us with a permanent Streams Training Centre, England venue upstairs. Aleady a second loo is being installed, the kitchen area being re-modelled, speakers 'platform' installed in the Streams Training Centre which has also been painted. Carpet tiles will go down early next week I guess and the desks and chairs will be put into place together with video projector and large dry wipe board. It's going to be brilliant to have our own place for teaching the Streams Courses written and developed by John Paul Jackson. We shall also be installing a p.a. system with special headset mic system for the teachers.

The first Course in the new venue will be the Art Of Hearing God - May 20-22 (which is fitting as this is the foundation Streams Course and the 'gateway' Course for the other Streams Courses such as Understanding Dreams and Visions, Advanced Prophetic Ministry and the new ones in the pipeline.
