Hello Friends,
It's been a while since I've sent out a status report. Over the last 6 months, life has brought more changes as life, especially in Christ, does. The biggest change was suddenly losing my mother to heaven, wonderful for her, but with pain and challenges for friends and family still running the race here on earth. Thank you to all those who have interceded for me and close family and friends during this transition time.
A few months before my mother's passing, I was miraculously connected by God to a brother who was clinically dead for 45 minutes and came back. His wonderful story of his visit to heaven during that time gave comfort during our dealing with my mom's departure. His story was produced for the biography channel in November. Even though he wasn't given the full freedom to talk about all aspects of his brief visit to heaven, like the Jesus part, but his and other's stories certainly confront many with the reality of life after our earth suits wear out.
Speaking of Intercession, we've finally printed the book 'Strategic Intercession in Your Business' that my co-author in Dallas and I have written. We are doing a final review on the pre-release edition, but the book will be ready for general distribution by late January. It is available from our web site for a small contribution.
In addition to being my co-author, Joe Galindo is mentor for 25 CEO's in the Dallas area. He and his wife Kim also host and facilitate many gatherings of strong God Chasers. I've had some fulfilling time ministering with them at some of their meetings over the last few months.
We welcomed a new board member, Jim Hoiland, into AMI. Jim was a welcome enhancement to our ministry team to Spain in 2007. He brings many gifts, including joy, into the ministry.
The biggest concentration of my efforts in the US have been in working much with the Kingdom company Continuant in Tacoma Washington. Working with them has been instrumental in giving me practical experience for what I have spoken much about and written in our 'Strategic Intercession in Your Business' book. It all boils down to turning the whole body of Christ into a house of prayer, no matter what activities it is involved in or where it is located.
I've been back to Argentina a couple of times since the last communication, but we'll probably not be ministering there again until later next year.
The Lord has been talking to up about preparing to minister in northern Europe for over a year now. We've done a lot of ministry in the past there and have had many requests for ministering, including conferences, but we're on hold until we have a sure order from the Lord to go and the means to get there. A list of conference invitations are listed on our web page.
Intercessors, please pray that we will have the persistence to press on building the foundation of this ministry, and in our individual lives, while waiting on provision. We humbly examine any words of wisdom or knowledge that you send our way. We have book distribution opportunities with other ministries. Ask the Lord to open the doors to the perfect partners.
All financial contributions are tax deductible and will directly support the work the Lord leads me, in cooperation with this team, to do. Contributions can be made by check or via our web site using a credit card. Our Employer Identification Number is 04-3623802.
I am heading back to Washington and Oregon late December and for most of January. Next steps after that have not been made clear. Intercessors will be kept informed on the details.
My deepest thanks once again to those who have shared the burden with me and helped me to continue on during this more tedious building time.
I've missed seeing many of you and I ask your forgiveness for not doing a staying in touch for the last few months. In the name of the King, I declare a peaceful, joyful and prosperous Christmas season to you all.
In the Lord of Lords,
Greig Detering
Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah. For he must remain in heaven until the time for the final restoration of all things, as God promised long ago through his holy prophets. Acts 3:19-21 (NLT)
For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Luke 19:10 (NKJV)
