They are passionate about seeing people equipped and released into their God given calling.

Sore Shoulder

I had strained my shoulder putting up the mast on my yacht. It was restricting enough that I could not even lift a book with my sore arm. A few weeks post injury, I consulted a physiotherapist and he gave me some stretching exercises that didn't help at all. A few weeks later at a prayer meeting, I asked for prayer for my shoulder. Immediately after praying I walked over and picked up a chair with my arm fully extended, something I could not of even thought of doing 10 minutes previous! There was NO PAIN!
Praise God. Prayer works!

God Answers Prayer

The first major breakthrough came three months into our regular Tuesday business prayer meeting. For us, it was incredible; we were praying for the sale of one of the two boats we owned as the third was about to be launched any day and we had accumulated a massive mortgage due to a partner in the new boat not paying $100 000 final payment. Incredibly, we sold two boats on the prayer Tuesday in November 2008, right at the peak of the recession. Both sales settled on the 22nd and 23rd of December and we went to Christmas with zero debt.

God had our full attention and prayer mornings were increased to twice a week since all of our breakthroughs were coming on Tuesdays. Since then, we have sold five boats, four of which are new builds with a collective value of $3.82 million. We also had our workforce double for four months while working on two other boats from another boatbuilding yard that had gone into liquidation. At Christmas 2009, we signed up the most expensive order to date and with full order books for 2010. Again, we had to employ more staff.

What is incredible is that God has provided this in a market were almost every boat builder has closed gone bust or have no orders.
Praise GOD!

Breast Pain

I had been experiencing breast pain for quite awhile and it was uncomfortable enough to get my attention. I had been praying for God to guide me in what I needed to do, ie, Doc visit? Ultrasound?..etc.God really spoke to me about hormones and so my next step was going to be to look into some natural hormone support.

In June 2010, I went up for a healing alter call at church. It was quite surreal to be surrounded by a whole lot of 'little' hands...I've actually never had hands laid on me by children before(!) and I was very aware of the warmth coming from their hands. I was prayed over for pain to leave, and for my body to come into perfect alignment. The next day (when I usually wake up and immediately notice discomfort), I woke up and had to poke and prod a bit and do some crazy stretches just to make sure it was for real that I wasn't feeling the discomfort that I usually have.

Anyway, Praise God...my healer who said that I can ask for anything in His name and it will be done to bring glory to the Father...

Bed wetting Cured!

Our 11yr old daughter had a bedwetting problem for her whole life that consequently restricted her staying at friend's houses not to mention affecting her confidence. One night at prayer group we laid hands on the children and asked for them to be filled with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. All seven of them did including our daughter!

That night we prayed earnestly with her before she went to bed and claimed the Lords ability to bring her sleeping moments into line. That night was her first dry night and she has been dry ever since! Praise God for His faithfulness.

Tennis Elbow Healed

For some time, now I have been experiencing pain in my left elbow. It restricted me enough that using power tools was very difficult and I could not pick up anything with my left arm. One night at prayer group, others were getting prayer and I decided I would leap in.

When they were praying, I could feel heat running up and down from my shoulder to my wrist. After prayer ALL the aching had gone and has not been back since! I can now lift the tools at work with no pain whatsoever. God is so awesome that He even heals the small things. Thanks Lord!

RSI Healed

My job involves a lot of computer work and for the last couple of years I have experienced an extremely sore shoulder when using my mouse. I would often get pins and needles in my hand and have to swap mouse hands every 30 minutes. I received prayer often and experienced minor relief for a limited period of time. Early in 2010, I received prayer again and I've had no problem with my arm or shoulder since (God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him). In talking to others in my profession, I understand this sort of thing does not just go away and usually gets worse resulting in surgery.
Jehovah Rophe truly is the Lord our healer! THANKS LORD!

God is Practical

This testimony is about little lovely sheep and my very hilly farm. Once upon a time, I returned to the farm were I build my boats. We were due to have seven sheep killed for church meat. I only muster twice a year so they are not used to people. The last attempt saw eight boat builders chasing sheep in all directions for a whole hour and ending with only half of the 40 sheep being mustered and several ending up through fences into the neighbour's farm.

I had just been to a prayer meeting and was feeling alive in God. I felt strongly that it would be a better testimony to my workers to show them God's power rather than talk about it! So, as bold as brass, I announced that Tony and I would get the sheep in ourselves with God's help! Much laughter and muttering filled the shed as Tony and I rode out onto the farm and discussed our strategy. The sheep were as far away and spread out as they could have been. We mustered every sheep on the 100 acre block in 20 minutes and they ran up the race and into the yards, right in front of my bewildered workers.
Just to finish the testimony, the next day I asked one of the workers to move them into another smaller part of the yards by him self. The sheep went ballistic and ran around and around him, so I asked him to hop out of the pen. I hopped in and instantly they calmly walked around the corner into the yard.
GO GOD!!!

Business Revived

Tank is an awesome man of God that has had a lot of misfortune. His prophetic word from his wife was of him beating against a massive wall that he couldn't get through, a wall holding him down and back! She could see a team of people praying behind him and he busted through with prayer backing. How cool is that because this is what happened.

Tank's nickname came from tendering to buy 48 earthquake damaged stainless steel wine vats. After much prayer and a lot of faith he set his tender at a very low $69,000 for them all. As scrap, they had a value of $80,000, but there was a problem: Tank had no money to pay for them! Amazingly, three separate people offered to loan the money to him and he was successful in buying them. He sold 38 of the tanks to a neighbour 3 doors down from them for $150 000 2 days later! More then sold, leaving Tank with about 10 or so left over so we prayed and this time asked specifically if the buyer would set the price because we reckoned he could get more for them, eg a new tank costs $150,000. .

Later, Tank gets a call while he is in an evening prayer meeting and turns off his phone with great embarrassment at having it switched on. The call he didn't answer was a guy who wanted the remaining tanks who was worried they might sell before he rang back made an offer that was $12 000 dollars higher than Tank was asking. Praise God! Since then we have stories of incredible blessings all of which are building his new business like a three year old forklift worth $20,000 as payment for a couple of weeks work. Amazing!

GOD ANSWERS SPECIFIC PRAYER

After years of steady work, it came as a huge shock when it started to dry up. I went from working 45-50 hours a week to being lucky to get a half day of work a week. Thankfully, my wife had just graduated and had started her new job but her salary was nowhere near enough for us to cover all our living costs. Earlier this year, while in a morning prayer meeting, I felt we needed to take a stall out in the local plaza and advertise a free preliminary design service, a new concept and one that I had not heard of being done before. Not only that, But I felt challenged to pray specifically for 50 job enquiries to come in over that week. After some minor resistance in our office we decided to go ahead.

By day three, we had 35 job enquiries, well on the way to our target. By day five, we had 50 exactly! While not all of these transformed into jobs, we had a good success rate and gained enough work load to carry us through.

We have noticed over the past months that the Tuesdays and Thursdays we pray as a group, work comes in. On the days we don't pray, work doesn't come in. Even the non-church goers in the office have started saying "must be prayer Tuesday, or prayer Thursday" when a job comes in.
