Love your boys new picture. No one is ever going to believe you that they are not from the same womb.
One from the womb, one from the heart.
We had a awful hail storm today up here.
I hope it didn't kill my garden my son Brennan planted for me for Fathers day.
I was touched by Ron Paynes note today, he is so gracious and I am glad he is staying.
Lord willing I will see you tommorrow. I heard your mom is doing good. Also Ryan is doing oK, still on meds.
I haven't heard anything about my test at fletcher Allen yet.
In the love of Jesus.

Hi there...Dios les bendiga hermanos en Cristo. I live in a small town outside of Mazatlan, one third of the way down on the Pacific coast. But we minister in Chiapas on a regular basis, and I will be setting up an ofice there in the fall. We will be kciking off a toy and donation drive in ASugust for our Christmas program in Chiapas that will be called, Blessings: Love and Forgiveness. Since the drive will, be open to all citizens we'll be giving toys not just to thechildren of the persecuted pastors and leaders but also to the children of the Acteal Zapatistas to promote the love and forgiveness that Jesus came to give to all of us, who seek Him. Then a number of other Voice of the Martyrs projects. I was glad to see what you wrote in the group...all true, and good insight. Most people have no idea of what's going on in Latin America...it's a time bomb waiting to go off from neglect and arrogance. Hope to get to know you all better. We are also concerned about the trafficking of children and young women here in Mexico.

Hello there my dearest friend
The cold is real - but we infrequently have snow. Can only remember three or four times... But usually our winters are cold but this has been an exceptionally colder winter than normal (or perhaps we are just growing older???) No, everyone is complaining and lots of influenze but praise God we are fit! We drink a lot of vitamins to build up our immune system and we take a 'flu injection every March.

Will keep praying for your Mom - she is in good hands - given her to the Lord!
Fond love to you all (hugs and kisses)

Hi ActualMaureen
yes that will be great for us to be friends. Thank you for all

GOD BLESS YOU MAUREEN
AND MAY HE GIVE YOU THE COURAGE, STRENGTH AND GUIDANCE YOU NEED TO COPE.

PRAYING FOR YOU, YOUR LOVED ONES, INCLUDING YOUR DAD AND MON

LOVE YOU AND FONDEST HUGS IN JESUS

Hi Maureen, Thanks for the invitation and your note. I would love to be friends with you. It is no accident that we have connected.

I read your blog about Lakeland Revival with Todd Bentley. I have flip-flopped on this issue several times due to outspoken comments by some who have since left AAG, and certain good affiliations Todd Bentley had with Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, before going to Lakeland, also beliefs of our pastor.

I am not convinced either way about it at this point in time. It will take more wisdom and discernment to decide about what is happening in Lakeland. I am taking the stand that even though the activity may appear to be demonic, it is possibly not. Sometimes the things we see with our eyes and hear with our ears are the things that deceive us. I may be wrong, but I do know that no-one has all the answers, and I do want to leave room for the Holy Spirit to minister however HE decides to do it. I have read all the pro's and conn's and can not condemn Todd Bentley. That is not my job. If he is shown to be in the wrong God will deal with him. My job is to worship the LORD in all I do, and love my neighbour as myself.

I am delighted to read your testimony and hear about your missionary heart. You are a real blessing to those kids. I thank you again for visiting my page, and I hope we can come together in agreement on the things that matter most.

Love and Hugs
MaryAnn

Hi again, no offense taken. In the love of Jesus I wish you an awesome evening.

Hugs

Maureen,

Why dear, did you see it fit to break my heart alongside yours, with that 'Ameno' power-point slide show? What can two broken hearts amount to Maureen? Debris, shreds, halves...or just heartlets? I weep with you for the children of this endangered generation....I sure do hu! hu! hu!!

Now let us start this on the right footing: I don't write this here because you told me you like the comments I leave you...I write because you DESERVE each and every word for you are a seasoned daughter of the Most High and you make Him proud.

Yes Maureen, you heard me correctly: you make Him proud...even in the many trials and weaknesses you decry...I only see a woman with a heart aflame for Christ...unquelled by many and ranked amongst icons.

I remember I once told you I delight in some of the spiritual aridities I inevitably cross from time to time...and I could sense that you were not properly convinced that this was in order...mmm. Well, I can't point out Phillipians 4:4 to you for everyone knows that...but I give it to you today for day-long meditation! I hope it ignites the spark of joy already in your heart for...rejoice, we handle all together!!

Again I say, REJOICE!-Pst. Bernhard C.

Hello Maureen,

Just a quick good-morning this bright day. I just realised that you never told me how your old lady's progressing. I hope Christ is proving the HEALER for her...as you always say, "from our fingers...to His ears".

God acted for Christy Gabriel (she came back safely to Jakarta, yesterday-halellujah!). We can count on Him always...in whatever storms life may throw our way.

In Christ Jesus-Pst. Bernhrad C.

The world is full of beauty, when the heard is full of love.
May God fill-up your heart with heavenly love.
Your Friend,
Chiranjib

Maureen,

Thank you for all your prayers and good will. Walking into you page is like visiting the temple of Jehovah...it is a place of testimony and revival...and I do this purposely, if you know what I mean (smile).

It's our last day of the crusade and I just want you to know that Christ will stay UPLIFTED! Have a blessed service and pass kind regards to Bob Bushman and all.

In Christ-Pst. Bernhard C.

Dear Sister Actual Maureen...
Thank you for welcoming my being home again. Someone said that you are a great daughter of God, I can see that now. If I do not leave a comment on your page on my absent please do not think that I neglect you for you are always in my heart and prayers. Maybe someday I will just stop doing all these. The world is not forever you know... JUST BE BLESSED ALWAYS IN JESUS' WAY...

With love in Christ: Christy Gabriel B

July 4th is the month which I said a prayer when I lived in this apartment since 1993, Lord Jesus this house is yours !
U know, in Chinese calendar tradition, we cannot move in a new home during the Seventh month, it is " Ghost " month !
Anyway, Halleluiah !
God bless you both too.

God is Great. ( Psalm 50:2)
From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth...

I randomly turned to this page this morning,
Just now, I just realized I had a wallpaper as background with this verse !
What an amazing coincidence only God can know.

Hello Maureen,

This is just to let you know that I slipped in here while you were away...and went out more blessed than when I came.

Your page can as well have the banner for the "Well at Bethesda!" No one who visits here wishing to find the presence of the Lord can go empty handed: there are the visible marks of Jehovah at work in this page!

May God bless you always...and give you increasing joy.

In Christ's love-Pst. Bernhard C.

My Sister,

I am concerned because yesterday you weren't feeling well but I trust that Christ more than met that temporary hurdle for He is ABLE.

Won't belabour you with a lot of words for what I petition during prayers is what isof importance. May Christ's graces reside with you and may you His glory enfold you, sweet Glenn and the two boys.

In Jehovah's name-Pst. Bernhard C.

I see in Bratengs comment that you haven't been feeling well. i hope today you are feeling better. Please keep me in prayer as my 20 year old son is moving to Bolder Colorado September 1rst. I hate that he is going to be so far away. It is hard to let your kids go, but we must. I just hope that if he gets married and has kids that he will come back to Vermont or I will relocate to where he is.
I sent this video I am going to leave with you also to two mothers in the faith here on the net who deserve an extra mothers day wish. I agree with Brateng that you also deserve an extra mothers day blessing. I hope that many others in our area will follow your example of adoption and becoming a child advocate. Yesterday in church they were looking for volunteers to work at the Fair in a booth for the pregnant center. But I hope that the whole Christian church around the world would begin to push adoption and sponsoring children in in need as advocates. To stop abortion has got to be a priority for all of us and there are many ways to do this. Pastor Bill was talking about how God is setting us free as Christians to do those things God has called us to do. 2 weeks ago Jacob Rice had a vision that He came up on the platform and shared during the service when every one was at the alter crying out to God. He saw the 2 double doors on our church chained shut with 2 black wolves connected to the chains then he saw the chains removed and the wolves were gone. The way Pastor Bill put it is that God is not only going to get in, but we are going to be free in bringing God out of the church and be free in our gifting s. Jacob wrote this song we did twice during the service yesterday. I will leave you with the word of the song along with the video.
In the love of Christ.
Bob

Dear Maureen,

Can you imagine...I was here to say hi as usual but before I could do that, I took time to see what your page is preaching today and guess what, the comments of my brother Bob for you just brought tears to my eyes. My sister, you have told me many things...but you have hardly told me that you are a children's advocate...who leads by example! How noble your life is Maureen!!!

I thank God for you...and am glad that Bob saw it fit to count you among the mom's of worth...worth receiving that special video. He is a great man...and I take his judgements very seriously. I am eternally glad that he led me to you 'ab initio!' (from the very beginning!). I have been thinking that if ever a vibrancy trophy could be initiated for those who serve Christ with radiance, Bob could give us all a run for our money! What a blessed place Vermont must be...to contain both you and brother Bob.

Well, may all the delimiting chains be broken in Christ's name!!-Pst. Bernhard C.

Maureen,

Did you add some three photos on your page? Beautiful pictures! maybe, they have just escaped my attention these past few days...

Well, with your last e-mail yesterday, I can begin to understand why Bob nominated you for the special mom's video. You are a truly a mom at heart...with a big heart for everyone.

Stay happy and be glad for Christ is on our side always.

Bless you lots-Pst. Bernhard C.

Sister Maureen,

I wonder if at all there are many people here at AAG who take their time to prayerfully ask themselves why you have your first posted name called "ACTUAL". How I wish they could have this curiosity!

Well, am glad that a cold day once-upon-a-time I did for you are a goldmine of spiritual nuggets! May God replenish your annointing and insight...

And thinking about yesterday, some things can only be better left unsaid. God sees them all and will reward you in His own appointed time. In my wonderment, I can only do you justice by shouting "WOW!"

I extend to you warm greetings from Mombasa. As you enjoy Logan Brengle...just know that Christ rocks!-Pst. Bernhard C.

Hello Maureen,

Since yahoo! refused to open all day, I have decided to beat satan at his own game by using this divine avenue to let not the sun set before I bless u with my fellowship.

My sister, I read Tozer's exposition on 'loneliness' and was truly blessed. I always wonder how the Lord speaks to you to know just the right pearls to share with me. If I remember that distant day that Brother Bob pointed you out for me, I just marvel at the fore-knowledge of God who sees all our spiritual needs and goes out of His way to fulfill them by sending our way human angels. God has enabled me meet some very wonderful people through the Net that it was difficult to imagine existed. How I wish all the world could be "truly evangelised!" We would have many "Maureens" everywhere and that would about heal all the ills that bedevil the earth.

Pass kind regards to Glenn and the cute boys! In Christ's name-Pst. Bernhard C.

A good reminder of God's Love.
Every Sunday afternoon, after the morning service at the church, the Pastor and his eleven year old son would go out into their town and hand out Gospel Tracts.

This particular Sunday afternoon, as it came time for the Pastor and his son to go to the streets with their tracts, it was very cold outside, as well as pouring down rain. The boy bundled up in his warmest and driest clothes and said, "OK, dad, I'm ready."

His Pastor dad asked, "Ready for what?"

"Dad, it's time we gather our tracts together and go out." Dad responds, "Son, it's very cold outside and it's pouring down rain."

The boy gives his dad a surprised look, asking, "But Dad, aren't people still going to Hell, even though it's raining?"

Dad answers, "Son, I am not going out in this weather." Despondently, the boy asks, "Dad, can I go? Please?"

His father hesitated for a moment then said, "Son, you can go. Here are the tracts, be careful son.."

"Thanks Dad!"

And with that, he was off and out into the rain. his eleven year old boy walked the streets of the town going door to door and handing everybody he met in the street a Gospel Tract.

After two hours of walking in the rain, he was soaking, bone-chilled wet and down to his VERY LAST TRACT. He stopped on a corner and looked for someone to hand a tract to, but the streets were totally deserted.

Then he turned toward the first home he saw and started up the sidewalk to the front door and rang the door bell. He rang the bell, but nobody answered. He rang it again and again, but still no one answered. He waited but still no answer.

Finally, this eleven year old trooper turned to leave, but something stopped him. Again, he turned to the door and rang the bell and knocked loudly on the door with his fist. He waited, something holding him there on the front porch! He rang again and this time the door slowly opened. Standing in the doorway was a very sad-looking elderly lady. She softly asked, "What can I do for you, son?" With radiant eyes and a smile that lit up her world, this little boy said, "Ma'am, I'm sorry if I disturbed you, but I just want to tell you that *JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU* and I came to give you my very last Gospel Tract which will tell you all about JESUS and His great LOVE."

With that, he handed her his last tract and turned to leave. She called to him as he departed. "Thank you, son! And God Bless You!"

Well, the following Sunday morning in church Pastor Dad was in the pulpit. As the service began, he asked, "Does anybody have any test imony or want to say anything?"

Slowly, in the back row of the church, an elderly lady stood to her feet. As she began to speak, a look of glorious radiance came from her face, "No one in this church knows me. I've never been here before. You see, before last Sunday I was not a Christian. My husband passed on some time ago, leaving me totally alone in this world. Last Sunday, being a particularly cold and rainy day, it was even more so in my heart that I came to the end of the line where I no longer had any hope or will to live.

So I took a rope and a chair and ascended the stairway into the attic of my home. I fastened the rope securely to a rafter in the roof, then stood on the chair and fastened the other end of the rope around my neck. Standing on that chair, so lonely and brokenhearted I was about to leap off, when suddenly the loud ringing of my doorbell downstairs startled me. I thought, "I'll wait a minute, and whoever it is will go away." I waited and waited, but the ringing doorbell seemed to get louder and more insistent, and then the person ringing also started knocking loudly. I thought to myself again, "Who on earth could this be? Nobody ever rings my bell or comes to see me." I loosened the rope from my neck and started for the front door, all the while the bell rang louder and louder.

When I opened the door and looked I could hardly believe my eyes, for there on my front porch was the most radiant and angelic little boy I had ever seen in my life. His SMILE, oh, I could never describe it to you! The words that came from his mouth caused my heart that had long been dead, TO LEAP TO LIFE as he exclaimed with a cherub-like voice, "Ma'am, I just came to tell you that JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU." Then he gave me this Gospel Tract that I now hold in my hand.

As the little angel disappeared back out into the cold and rain, I closed my door and read slowly every word of this Gospel Tract. Then I went up to my attic to get my rope and chair. I wouldn't be needing them any more.

You see---I am now a Happy Child of the KING. Since the address of your church was on the back of this Gospel Tract, I have come here to personally say THANK YOU to God's little angel who came just in the nick of time and by so doing, spared my soul from an eternity in hell."

There was not a dry eye in the church. And as shouts of praise and honor to THE KING resounded off the very rafters of the building, Pastor Dad descended from the pulpit to the front pew where the little angel was seated.

He took his son in his arms and sobbed uncontrollably. Probably no church has had a more glorious moment, and probably this universe has never seen a Papa that was more filled with love & honor for his son... Except for One.

Our Father also allowed His Son to go out into a cold and dark world. He received His Son back with joy unspeakable, and as all of heaven shouted praises and honor to The King, the Father sat His beloved Son on a throne far above all principality and power and every name that is named.

Blessed are your eyes for reading this message.

Don't let this message die, read it again and pass it to others. Heaven is for His people!
Remember, God's message CAN make the difference in the life of someone close to you.

Please share this wonderful message...

Hebrews 3:6 but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.

Hebrews 4:14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

Hebrews 4:16 Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebrews 6:11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end.

Father God we come before you and thank you for the wonderful salvation that is ours through Jesus Christ. Holy Spirit help us to hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end. Help us to us hold fast our confession and draw near with confidence to the throne of grace to find mercy and help in our time of need and may we realize the full assurance of hope we have until the end.
In the name of Jesus we pray.

N.B. : please write me your e-mail id. Your old e-mail is not working.

Hi Sister, It just brings tears to my eyes to to see you guys loving on those children and I see you had a princes party. Bethany went to one once at Marcia's house when she was small. I will pray for you and Glen about what you shared with me yesterday. It is the heart of God to care for the orphans, so if you do this it is a good thing.
I told Glen I heard a new Christian comedian, I think this guy Is the one. Please let your dad know that my uncle Richard Holcomb fell and is parralized in Dartmouth, and ask him to lift him up in prayer.
In the love of Jesus
Bob

My sister, those kids look not only cute but they look great too! It is difficult to believe that they are a disadvantaged lot. I thank God that you are part of the reason why they can afford to smile. You are the SALT of the earth.

In Christ's love-Pst. Bernhard C.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Dear Sister ActualMaureen
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR. GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY ALWAYS.

Hello girl!
I have been thinking about you and wondered how you were doing. It has been a while since we last connected, hasnt it? What have you been up to? What is the latest with the kids? What you do is soo awesome. I have been doing good. i help out in childrens ministry on Sundays, go to bible studies, and of course the kids take up most of my time. I love my new church and I have made some really great friends that have little children that my kids can play with. God is always faithful to provide isnt He? Sometimes it takes time, but He has proven it to me over and over again. I dont know why I doubt like I do. Well, I guess we are human and wont be perfect till we get to heaven. Christmas was ok for us. No the best but not the worst. I didnt see my family this time which bummed me out but oh well. Change is inevidable. Let me know what has been going on in your neck of the woods. Miss you and I hope to hear from you soon!!

PLEASE KEEP ON SERVING THE LORD IN THIS SITE BECAUSE YOU ARE NEEDED HERE. GBY

I am being made aware that Jesus is coming sooner than many think. Many will not be ready for His return. We need to be ready, wise virgins, keeping oil in our lamps.

Please do keep on praying for the request of mine down below, and I know I can count on you to do it:

Please "WIN the 10/40 WINDOWS" for JESUS CHRIST.
The 10/40 Windows (located between 10 - 40 degrees North of Equator - between West Africa to East Asia) need Missionaries, have no church at all, and there live about 40 percent of the world population. INDONESIA, my country is in the 10-40 windows though we have churches. Let's get on our knees, praying hand in hand with me for their revival. I look forward to the day when the Lord who I kneel to worship will be recognized by all the living and the dead as the One True Lord.
Thank you so very much

With love in Christ: Christy Gabriel B
