"..Your prayers are coming forth. We have begun ascending the mountain. I am sure you will hear from Clay, but we have had a prophetic outpouring. We have begun to walk in that anointing Our Friday night meeting lasted five hours. That began with some of us staff prophesying over campers by calling them up and giving words to them , and then campers got up and started prophesying over the staff and other campers. Every camper received a word from the Lord! Then the night ended with many campers and staff filled with the Holy Spirit and encountering it for hours. It has been so great. Every night we pray for more, and he pours out more! Seeds that you and Caron have sewn are being harvested, especially with those that you anointed in the prophetic. We will keep praying for you and your family, especially protection, and for the Koreans who will be visiting soon. That you will have a blessed time of rest! Can't wait to hear stories about the kids new school, and about their principle and teacher!"

Dear Mark

Just a quick note to thank you and your team for the weekend (Men's Camp 2006). I was hitting rock bottom the previous Sunday and wanted out. I was so tired of keeping the boat afloat and living for one and all around me, that I cracked and took off. I was going to stay away from home for a few days to get my bearings but found myself back by Monday afternoon for a business meeting that evening. So, as per my arrangement with J*****n, we met on Tuesday morning at his home for some coffee and he told me about the camp. I immediately agreed to go. It did not matter what the camp was about or where it was, I just wanted to get away. No doubt God had known my desperation and prepared a feast for me.
The prophetic words were 100% spoken into my situation and, I must admit, a bit scary (a whole story by itself).
I came home with the following:

Way wrong priority having work consuming me.
I repent and submit to God as the 1st priority
I repent and place Anna Maré as the 2nd priority ----- then the kids ( asked them for forgiveness - my lovely 14yr old daughter did not know what the heck I was talking about but mom and Ray was replacing hurt and anger with forgiveness , thank you Lord!)
Now my work.... Well, the pressure of showing the Lord just good I am at running (rather ruining) things, needs to be replaced with doing it by His grace and with the knowledge that it is NOT my business. (If I was in fact Him, I would have fired me long time ago) so what a relief!!!!!
Now, my "church",,,, I trust that God will guide me to a place where I can make a difference in His service and not just tag along because I find it repetitive and boring to see the same old same old every Sunday ( in fact it has become more like every 5th Sunday)

I could go on and on but hey, it's nearly 5:45 and I need to have my family see my ugly snoot.
God bless you and your family and I thank Him for your daughters healing and His provision
Kind Regards

Hi Mark,

It was truly a timely visit with the Lord and with you and the rest of your team and the speakers. I have returned inspired to use once again the talents that the Lord has given me. And as J. v. d. B. said - "we needed to get our windscreens cleaned so that we can see clearly once again" and indeed it was a time of refreshing, cleansing and reflecting for me.

The next camp is a bit soon on me, but please keep me informed for I would definitely want to attend future camps and seminars that you arrange / lead.

Could you also please send me your banking details?

May the Lord richly bless you and your family

In Jesus

Hi all,

We are from Pretoria and two weeks ago, we had the privilege of attending a meeting on a Monday night.

We certainly came with expectant hearts, however, the Word we got was so precise that as a couple we had to go before the Lord and repent, we were on the verge of being statistics of a family suicide, and that was the death that Mark and his team saw hanging over us. It is amazing to see how we had not discussed it with anyone and yet God knew everything!

Peter works away from home, out of nine weeks he was only home for two days, we are still trusting the Lord that He gets other work, but we know that breakthrough is also here!

Anyway, this was just a note to say thank you, and that God used you all mightily to save our family!

Regards,

Dear Mark, Caron and Belinda,

We would just like to take this time out to thank you guys for your incredible ministry you have deposited to the ladies (and gentlemen) at The Haven.

Your input has been valuable and many lives have been changed and especially challenged.

Thank you for your passion about worship and imparting that very special message to us.

Ladies have being ministered to prophetically have been set free in many areas and enjoy the weeks that you are the guests.

At this time I would just like to not only thank you but also to say that you have become an important part of The Haven and we are praying for you continuously for God to open more and doors to you and your awesome ministry.

May God richly bless you and your excellent team. Yes excellence in ministry also.

God Bless

Hi Mark

I would like to thank u for the meetings held both Friday and Saturday night I was greatly moved in the spirit and have since received 2 incredible revelations about my spiritual life. Keep up the good work looking forward to hearing from you again

Kind and Best Regards

Dear Brother Mark,

Thank you for your letter. I admire your enthusiasm and your flexibility. I know I need more of both.

I will believe with you for good meetings in the Chicago area and the Tulsa area.

Yes, I would like to have you with us for one service in October if you will be coming to North Louisiana. Let me know.

We have happy memories of your time with us here. I have the rhino you gave me on my file cabinet beside an antique clock. Every month or two Alex will ask me again who gave it

to me. I enjoy telling him that Brother Mark did.

The kids are precious and growing. Next month Alli turns 5 and Alex turns 4. Tomorrow

we are taking them to a zoo in Tyler, Texas. We will drive at least two hours and will only see (probably) two elephants, among other things. So it goes in the U.S.!

This past week I discovered something I didn't know or had forgotten. A young lady in our church, newly married at that time had had times of severe pain in her colon for six years or so. One of the first things you called out on the Sunday morning you were with us was colon trouble. After waiting, she shyly lifted her hand to acknowledge the word. She told

me this past week she has not had a moment's pain from it since!

Also, the older minister with whom you missed God very graciously forgives you. He also acknowledged his possible lack of faith.

To God be the glory! Be encouraged.

Much love,
