The 60 delegates were assigned partners.
Terry was partnered with Nero, a new believer
from Baao, the town where we live.
The pastors lectured on the 3 Fs--Freedom, Fire, and Focus.
Testimonies were shared about being freedfrom the bondage of various sins and strongholds.
Partners then worked together to confess and renounce their sins
and strongholds.
Pastors moved among the delegatesto pray for each one.
All who came with open hearts were cleansed and freed
from their bondages to sin.
To God be the glory!
Homeward bound after a soul searching time of wonderful spiritual refreshment.
