“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,” – Ephesians 3:20

I am writing this article while attending the ‘Mountain Movers’ Conference in Toronto, Canada. It is exciting to share with you my experience these last few days; it’s been life changing for me. I had the opportunity to visit:

• Manchester, KY October 16-17 www.glowtorch.org ‘The Appalachian Dawn”. Together with several FHL leaders, we met some of the leaders, pastors and the Mayor of the city. We were able to tour the entire city and visited places that were transformed through the power of God.
  • Isolated in the heartland of Appalachia, the city of Manchester, Kentucky, appeared to be the unlikeliest place for societal breakthrough to occur. In 1964, a CBS news report gave Manchester the dubious distinction “Depressed City, USA.” In 2001, the Drug Enforcement Agency included Manchester in a region listed as the “Painkiller Capital of America.” That is until May 2, 2004, when 63 churches and 3,500 people united together as community catalysts to march against drugs. The following year, Manchester became the only area in the region where painkiller prescriptions actually decreased. Drug arrests would increase by a staggering 300 percent. Where favoritism, fraud, and extortion were once the law of the land, government corruption would soon be uncovered. Within three years, public officials, including the mayor, the city supervisor, the assistant police chief, the 911 Director, the fire chief, the circuit court judge, a handful of city councilmen, county commissioners and county.
  • Consequently, in 2007, the city council voted to change the name of the city to “Manchester: City of Hope.” What seemed like a mountain that was insurmountable is now becoming possible with GOD. Ironically, a community once considered “behind the times” has now become a compelling story for our times.

  • TORONTO, CANADA, OCT 20-23 http://www.ctftoronto.com/ Toronto Christian Fellowship Church – known internationally as a global revival center. This is my 3^rd visit to this church. The first one was in Sept. 2004, and just after a few months, the Lord birthed the ministry of FHL in 2005.  The conference name is ‘Mountain Movers’ Conference.
    • On January 20 1994, God visited this small and unknown church by the Toronto International Airport. Nightly meetings, except Monday nights, started and continued for 11 years. By 2004 it was recorded that over 5 million people visited the church from all over the world.
    • This was also known as the ‘Toronto Blessing”. Based on the Book, ‘The World’s Greatest Revivals’ by Fred & Sharon Wright said that Two Truths ignited the ‘outpouring’ – the love of the Father and our need for inner healing. It was recorded, including the ministry of Faith, Hope and Love, countless ministries and churches were birthed because they brought the blessings home with them.
    • One of the most significant ministry of the Holy Spirit was to a person named Heidi Baker (one of the Speakers at the Conference). After meeting God in Toronto, her life was changed. She went to Mozambique with her young family with one-way ticket and only $30 in their pocket. Heidi shared that through her ministry, 10,000+ churches were planted, thousands of people are fed every day, established colleges and orphanages, etc.
