The Holy Spirit is always on the move, accomplishing the will of The Father across the globe!  When He opens a divine door of opportunity, we want to be ready to step through it!

This past ministry trip to the UK was filled with those divine open doors!  I preached in various churches in Manchester, Middleton, Oxford, Gloucester and ended in Biscester.  Everywhere I went I saw hungry people encountering  the glorious Holy Spirit. 

The highlight of the trip came at the end, at the Church of England in a town just outside of Oxford called, Bicester.  Over the past season, most of the pastors of these churches in this town have been gathering for prayer.  Most churches from the town came together over the weekend of Nov. 18-20.  There was a tremendous sense of Psalm 133 unity among  the leaders and churches!  Many received fresh vision and anointing for evangelism of their town.  Over 100 people then went out into the streets to testify of the goodness of the Lord and to share the way of salvation!  Some new families came into the main church and received prayer and counsel while their children enjoyed the bouncy castle and other activities. 

We are so grateful to our Prayer Team who upheld us and the events in prayer over those 3 weeks of ministry - they share in all the kingdom fruit.  Praise the LORD for those Partners who have sown generously and faithfully into our ministry. 

I praise and thank Jesus for the growing unity and what I believe is a beginning of a divine downpour over Bicester!

  We embarked on a 2 week mission to Belize City, Belize in April, 2015.  This was arguably the most difficult mission trip we have taken as yet.  The ground was very hard spiritually, so the trip was more about breaking up the hard ground  through intercessory prayer (Hos. 10:12) than it was about revival meetings, although we did hold those meetings and we did see some breakthroughs come.

Most days were spent crying out to the Lord of the harvest in intercessory prayer (Ps. 126:5,6)  together with the other team members in the living room of our rented accommodations.  The daily heat was oppressive at 105 degrees F with 85% humidity.  As we lacked air conditioning, we experienced first-hand the requirement of our bodies being "living sacrifices" (Rom. 12:1) to the LORD! 

At night things cooled down to 88 degrees F; four fans in our bedroom roared at top speed.  We were thankful there were no bed bugs (as there had been in Guatemala).  But we were unable to sleep.  Dogs roamed wild at night and barked almost continuously.  After about 4 sleepless nights we decided we would take a prayer walk in the neighbourhood and take authority over the yapping of the dogs.  We exercised our spiritual authority (1 Cor. 15:27) over this noise disturbance in Jesus' Name and that night, and from then on, deep canine slumber occurred in that part of the city!

We did hold renewal meetings and at first the people were reticent about receiving prayer from us.  It took some time for their resistance to break down, something we are not used to, but once it began to dissipate we were then able to minister to them.  Marriages were blessed through the seminars we held and people were built up and encouraged through the Word.  We were able to minister restoration to a couple senior pastors but the details cannot be disclosed.  Also we conducted some prayer ministry appointments for other leaders.  We were reminded of Jesus' invitation, "whosoever will, let him come!" and that we just needed to be faithful to plant the seeds and to water but that it is the LORD who causes the actual spiritual growth (1 Cor. 3:6)!

Six young people were gloriously saved during the youth retreat in Port Sydney, Ontario!  Very exciting for us to experience "...the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes... " (Rom. 1:16)  Many more had life-changing encounters with the Lord!  About 40 students from Great Lakes Christian High School attended.  We were very blessed to have an anointed worship team and ministry team.  Scott preached several times and these teens - many young Christians or unsaved - were hungry and attentive!  All were open to receive prayer ministry at the end of each message. 

Joshua and Emily Hunter did a fantastic job of leading the worship and pastoring all the youth. They are the School Pastors at Great Lakes Christian High School (Beamsville, Ontario, Canada) and are passionate for Jesus and His kingdom!
 
There were so many "firsts" - some gave their public testimonies for the first time.  2 girls wrote and sang a heavenly song for the first time.  At least 2 of the students practically began to preach during the sharing of their testimonies!  Some were learning to linger in His Presence.  Others were stepping out and boldly praying from their hearts in front of their peers!  We were all feeling a sense of wonder - seeing Him at work! 

Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe and said, "We have seen remarkable things today."  (Luke 5:26)

Hi Everyone,
 
The supreme purpose of our lives is to glorify the Lord and enjoy Him forever.  He has a particular plan for each one's life, as revealed in Eph. 2:10 "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them."  We do not 'create' our calling, but we pray and follow the Lord's leading, stepping into the "good works" which He has already prepared for us to step into.

We launched Emerging Ministries School this past weekend at Catch the Fire Toronto with our team.  The Lord came in His truth, love and power!  People were excited and more empowered to walk forward in their callings. 

Emerging Ministries is a new ministry at Catch the Fire - Toronto church and our mandate is to mobilize people in their gifts and callings so they may advance the Kingdom of God.  Our plan is to conduct evening training sessions for the participants on a monthly basis and then run the school again in the Spring, Lord willing.  "Father, come and mobilize Your people for Your glory!"
 
Thanks for your prayers and support.

June 2015 - UK Report

It was really spectacular to see the Holy Spirit sweep across our meetings in England, pouring into hungry hearts!  "For He has satisfied the thirsty soul, and the hungry soul He has filled with what is good." Ps. 107:9   We have conducted many ministry trips to the UK over the years, but noticed a greater response among those who came to our meetings this time.  Praise Jesus for increased spiritual hunger!  
 
We taught and ministered at various churches in - Oxford, Bicester, Gloucester, Manchester, Rochdale, Middleton and York.  He gave us endurance to keep up with His pace!  Jesus was exalted, His Word was preached, and the broken and thirsty encountered Him.

In many of our meetings, people who had been under years of confusion and condemnation received powerful deliverance and freedom through the preaching of the Word.  A middle eastern man confessed his sin in broken English and received forgiveness and comfort from Father God. We also witnessed several divine physical healings, praise the LORD!

Testimony of a couple:
 
I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful weekend. I am still feeling so powerfully touched by your words and the grace that you carry. I felt powerfully moved and released at your conference this past weekend. I hadn't realized I had so much fear and I realized there were many lies that were really holding me back from my happiness, freedom and connection with God.
 
This new freedom and peace are continuing and now I feel a much closer intimacy with The Lord. I feel very restored and empowered!  God bless you both as you continue to travel and minister God's incredible love to people and lead them into a deeper relationship with Christ.
 
Summer Vision:

Our mandate for the Summer has been  SOAPP - "Summer of Anointed Prayer & Preparation".  We have spent more time in prayer with Him, taken extra time for our marriage and have worked on ministry development.  We have been working on our new website, professionally recording our sermons and expecting His financial provision for ministry expansion.  We are also praying about possible invitations to Latin America.

Thank you for partnering with us in so many ways such as, prayer, finances, practical help and exhortation!  We know we couldn't do this ministry without such partnership.
 
Rejoicing in His goodness,

Scott & Hilary Dalton
