January Ministries

It is hard to believe that is has been fourteen months since Christ Community Church commissioned Kingdom Quest.� Much has happened since then and most of you have been informed through these updates.� We had two wonderful opportunities for ministry in January.� First, we ministered with our friends Stephen and Jewell Matthews outside of Philadelphia.� God always knows what He is up to.� John preached a message that included some teaching on the grain or first fruit offering.� Although he thought that he was heading one direction with it, God used it differently because Pastor Jewell had already been talking to the congregation about giving the first fruit of their yearly pay to the Lord. When we listen to the Lord, He uses us to confirm and promote what� He is doing wherever we minister.

�

During the last weekend in January, we went to Richmond, KY, to do a weekend Breaking Free To Your Destiny Seminar. We had been invited because two of the members had been present when we did BF at the Southeast College of Prayer in May of 2006.� We loved being with this group of outstanding people. Many of these folks had either been involved in mission work, were currently involved in mission work or ministered effectively through their church and in the community.� We had a great chance to minister to some strategic people.� God worked in a fabulous way in the lives of many people.� Various people shared testimonies relative to forgiving and emotional strongholds that God began breaking down. We� believe that many lives were changed and that each will walk in greater freedom� and� greater anointing.

�	Our Trip To India Included The Training of Nine Strategic Men Who Will Assist Us To Take The College of Prayer To All of India!

��

�

��

We have been to Maharastra State in India five times to conduct seminars called College of Prayer (A series of seminars that stimulate people to seek to bring the Kingdom to their region and nation through a unified Body, through Kingdom prayer and through following the leading of the Holy Spirit.

�

One of our goals is to see Indian nationals participate more fully in leading COP Modules and eventually see them take over the ministry. Therefore, it was with great pleasure that we spent three days with the above nine leaders training them in key principles of leading COP events and teaching them 1 � Modules so they can graduate in October. These leaders include one layperson, denominational leaders and pastors from both Pentecostal and evangelical churches. Two of the men are former alcoholics and one used to worship snakes (by the way, he has had the unheard of privilege of leading two former Hindu priests to Jesus, who are currently studying for the ministry.)

�

We look forward to including them as part of our team in the future.

�

Other India Highlights

God did much work in each of the three COP�s conducted in India. The first two COP�s were in Maharashtra State in Nasik and Ahmednagar.� We spent the three days in each discussing �How To Develop A Local Church Prayer Ministry.�� We were happy to have our friend Hans Wiesner with us for these Modules. He, along with wife Lori, have been part of developing strong prayer ministries in local churches.

We gave them some great tools to develop their prayer ministries, but the key element of these meets was the spirit of repentance that broke out in each.� In Nasik, God invaded our schedule and we moved into repentance before we had scheduled time for it.� God was� at work.� Believers in each of the three groups came quickly to a chair positioned in the center of the group to publicly confess sin.� We do not believe we have seen this level of confession before.

At Ahmednagar, we had chairs from men in one part of our only room and for women at another part.� Some of the women were so desirous of confessing that they stood up in front of the entire group confessing sin.� The men�s group was much smaller which allowed for some deliverance to take place.� We later led the entire group in a deliverance prayer.

One delegation from a congregation with the Church of Northern India had been praying for another Pentecost.� Hans preached on the Holy Spirit and most of the group stood to cry out for the power of the Holy Spirit to come upon them.� We expect great things to come from this city.

Our last COP event occurred in Gujarat State among tribal peoples.� We did our Kingdom Module with them.� They took excellent notes.� At the end, when we asked them to write down what God wanted them to do when they went home, they wrote diligently.� There were three subjects that came up in their testimonies: The need to have a more dynamic prayer life, the need to walk in the Holy Spirit�s power and the desire to begin to tithe (We share this message humbly in these places.� They have so little, but they must honor God with their finances in order to see His supply for the large vision.)

God also broke out in a spirit of repentance in Gujarat.� The women as so often happens moved quickly into public confession.� The men moved a bit slower, but after one pastor confessed, they moved to the middle quickly.� At one point three men were confessing out loud at one time.

We also had a great opportunity to minister in evening church services in Gujarat.� The highlight was praying for the sick.� God moved in answer to their need and faith.� At one church several ladies manifested demons when prayed for and they were set free and healed immediately. One pastors� wife, who attended the COP was healed of kidney stones that had hindered her for eight months.

We also spoke during revival meetings and in church services.� At one church service over 6 people received Jesus and 4 were healed.� At the revival meetings 40 people stood to receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

God worked so powerfully.

Winter 2007

A Fifth Trip to India College of Prayer

Kerry and I will travel to India to work with our Kingdom schools, called colleges of prayer for the fifth time in February. We will complete module four and half of module five with a group of about 12 leaders who will form the core of the national teaching staff. These leaders will graduate and be certified in October.

We will also complete a second module with two COP locations begun in October. During the last week of our trip we will travel to a new state and begin Module One with a brand new group.

During our last trip to India, we heard leaders make statements that indicate to us that their paradigm is changing to Kingdom thinking. We praise God for our continued involvement with these wonderful people (See above John with Pastor Manhour a leader in the Ahmednagar COP.)

Hans Weisner from Staten Island will accompany us on this trip. He, along with wife Lori, has been used of God to develop a local church prayer ministry as well as share in leadership for regional prayer in Staten Island and NYC.

Za'har Ministries

On Sunday, January 14, Kerry and John will both minister at Za�har ministries near Norristown, PA. Za�har is a multi-ethic congregation pastored by friends, Stephen and Jewell Matthews.

God has been using the ministry of Breaking Free To Your Destiny on a broader basis. January 25-28, the Shueys will travel to Richmond, KY to minister Breaking Free to a C&MA church in the region, as well as folks from churches in the region.John and Kerry continue to work on a revision of Breaking Free To Your Destiny. They hope to be finished by mid January and as the Lord supplies will send it to publication. The new addition will be 13 lessons which will make it perfect for a Sunday School quarter or a small group.

GOD IS FAITHFUL

We entered 2006 believing that God would meet all of our financial needs. However, we did not know how He would do it. Well, HE DID IT!! We will end the year in the black with all bills paid. We believe that God will do the same as we follow Him in 2007.

Our family

Some of you have asked that we include an update on our girls and their husbands. We will do so periodically. Kristin and husband Andrew Bedi live in Nashville, TN. Andy works for Hospital Corporation of America helping with budgets and accounting for Centennial Hospital. Kristin works for Realty Mortgage Company. They have a real heart for people and minister where they work and at Brentwood Baptist Church. Allie is a social worker in Salinas, CA where she helps at risk families. Her husband, Adam Buzard, is a youth pastor in Monterey. They are doing a great work of discipling students. Their Sunday School class has grown from about 4 to 30.

Strategic Prayer Events in 2006

We had the privilege of engaging in several strategic Prayer Events in 2006.� In Feburary, we traveled to Washington, PA to engage in a strategic Prayer event for the church in Washington. One key element in this event was the highlighting of a potential leader� for the regional church there.

We went to the Scanton/Wilkes-Barre area three times to work� with Fox and Theresa Mayhoff and the NE House of Prayer.� One of� the trips was to� pray about the� Himilayan Institute in that region.� The regional intercessors began to lay out a plan to pray about the institute and other� regional prayer� needs.� On another occasion, God used John to speak a directive word, which opened� the door for� the pastor to share his vision for outreach, which has already begun in great fasthion.

In April, we went to Reading to participate with Ken Eberly in the Unrelenting Prayer Conference.� The goal was to train leaders to develop regional Houses of Prayer.

In addition, we participated in two regional strategic prayer events with leaders in Rijeka, Croatia and one in Pula, Croatia.� We spoke at a two day unity seminar in Zagreb at the end of the year.

Some Goals for 2007

Key Goals To Hand off College of Prayer India

�

We believe wholeheartedly that nationals will reach their people more effectively than outsiders.� Therefore Kingdom Quest ministers as servants to nationals.� Our goal is to� love, encourage and equip.� We desire to hand off� the ministry to nationals.� The process of handing the COP to Indians has begun.� In October, we began to train leaders earmarked to be the presenters in future COP Modules. Out goal is to graduate these presenters� in October 2007 and begin to have them assist us in teaching as soon as possible.� We will take them with us as we teach in new locations with the goal that eventually they will not need anything from us but encouragement and prayer.�

As long as it is needed, Kerry and I will plant COPs in other� parts of India and train believers from many language groups. One dream would be to plant a COP in Bangalore, which is a center for denominations and Christian training� schools.

OTHER� GOALS

1.�Spend more� time� with the Lord in prayer, devotion and study

2.�Spend time with key leaders, in US and other nations, seeking to build them up in the faith and help them become more fruitful in their callings.

3.�Teach in training seminars and conferences whose purpose is to prepare believers to fulfill their God-ordained destiny.

4.�Begin COP (Kingdom Schools) in at least two new locations (one a new nation.)

5.�Finish the revision of Breaking Free To Your Destiny and� get it printed.

6.�Begin other� writing� as God directs.

7.�Seek to bring unity to Christ�s Church

8.�Assist in seeing women released to their full potential in Jesus

�

Building of Strategic Relationships

God has been allowing us to develop strategic relationships in 2006. In the US, he has strengthened our relationships with Fox and Teresa Mayhoff in the north eastern region of� the State and Craig and Wendy Bellis (pictured below) from Washington, PA, who have become part of our Kingdom Quest Board.

God has also been strengthening� relationships in other parts of the world as well. In Croatia, we have developed relationships with key leaders in Rijeka: Pastor Milan and Drazenka (pictured to the left), and Cliff and Maria Luckhurst.� In Pula, a city older than Jerusalem, we have a growing relationship with Pastors Danijel and Vecho Lustig.� Danijel pastors and brother Vecho has become a key psalmist in Croatia. In Zagreb, God has given us favor with Zjelko and Lidija, who have begun to call Christians in their city together.� At one recent event, 10 churches partipated, a major accomplishment in this city where .15% of the people know Jesus.

In India, we have continued to grow in our relationships with Sanjay Gawali, Diwakar Wankede and Pradeep Borde. These men have helped us take Kingdom Schools to three locations in Maharasthra State.� We will begin our fourth school in another state in February.

God has� also begun to build a relationship with leaders in Belgium and especially Connely and Madalaine a missionary couple from South Africa. We believe that as we continue to engage in these relationships with these key leaders, we will have personal input and we will assist them in their ministries in their regions.

Breaking Free To Your Destiny

God has used and expanded the Breaking Free To Your Destiny Ministry in 2006� This ministry assists believers to get their past behind them by helping them to forgive those who have wronged them, to overcome hurtful words that have hindered them and to help repent of sins which have given Satan a stronghold in their lives.

God allowed us to minister Breaking Free� in eight locations this past year.� In the United States, we lead Breaking Free To Your Destiny seminars at the Southeast College of Prayer in Toccoa, Georgia and The Great Lakes COP outside of Cleveland.� In addition, we ministered� Breaking Free at the New Cumberland C&MA Church and Heritage AG in Gettysburg.

We also� had the privilege of ministering Breaking Free in Khandala, India and in Pula and Rijeka, Croatia.� The Rejeka BF� was with a group of churches who are beginning to work together to win their city.

In January, we did a follow up BF to train others how to minister deliverance.

In 2007, we are already scheduled to minister Breaking Free in Richmond, KY and Burkina Faso in West Africa.� We will also complete a revision of the manual in 2007.

�

What We Were Made To Do!

Led by� the Lord and with the help of Christ Community Church in Camp Hill, PA, we established Kingdom Quest Ministries in 2004 to� facilitate our ministry in the State of Pennsylvania and in other nations.� We had no idea that God would lead us to leave� our church position to make Kingdom Quest our full time ministry.� However, in January of 2006, commissioned by our pastor and elders that is what we did. This newsletter is a report outlining the work of God during� Kingdom Quest�s first full year.�

We would like to report God�s faithfulness in so many ways.� First, we must say that God develops us and leads us to fulfill His purpose for our lives.� We feel like we are doing exactly what God made us to do!!� When God leads, He also provides. We will finish the year with every bill paid and the� budget met.� Praise the Lord!� In addition, He has supplied Judy Root, who has volunteered to serve as secretary.� She has brought administrative skill and help and has added a creative element to the office.� The rest of this report will detail some of what the Lord has done during 2006 through Kingdom Quest Ministries.
