AUSTRALIA, SYDNEY PRE-EVENT-TESTIMONY

When you sent this newsletter first time, you have no idea how it blessed me, and confirmed something I was feeling. I head up a small intercessory team for our Church, and one of the things we've done is to make prophetic declarations around the streets of Papamoa. I then spoke to the Church about it, and several more came on board. Put up a map of Papamoa in the Church, and those who are taking responsibility to pray around their own areas have put stars on it where they live. Then two weeks ago I woke up 3 times during the night singing a song, plus again in the morning. I hadn't heard it for years, so knew it was significant. It is a Graham Kendrick song - and what I was singing - Chorus - "Rejoice, rejoice, Christ is in you the hope of Glory in our hearts, He lives, He lives, is hope is in you, Arise, a mighty army, We arise. Verse 1 - Now is the time for us to march upon the land into our hands he will give the ground we claim, He rides in majesty to lead us into victory, The world shall see that Christ is Lord." The words that were really standing out were "Now is the time for us to march upon the land into our hands He will give the ground we claim" and "Arise, a mighty army, we arise." As I get up that morning I just had to keep singing it, even during my am devotion. I had a deep sense we were to do something about it. Then I switched my computer on and here was you email that had about the Arise, now is the time, day. I just wept as I read through it as I felt the presence of Holy Spirit confirming what I was sensing. So made an appointment with my pastor. It was too short a notice to do something about it on the Saturday, plus a relatively small Church, but growing, so to get people out on the Sat who would be needed for it was a big ask. BUT - Steve said that Sunday 15th was a Sunday between his changing his message to something new, so we could have it on Sunday and involve the whole Church. I was thrilled, I was weeping again as talking to him! So I know we are doing the right thing. Have put the declarations on PowerPoint, and 3 of us intercessors are going to be heading a session each, as we get the whole congregation to proclaim them over Papamoa together. This is after I have explained what prophetic declarations are, plus the truth that "there is creative birthing power in the spoken word of God." Something special for the children, and a worship dancer who is looking at dancing to that song and would like to get the children involved as well. Songs to be about rising up - all this of course is for children as well as adults. They will be staying in the service as a vital part of the family. So than you SO much - the timing of your notifying me about this was perfect, being the morning after I had got that song! Isn't that amazing.

CANADA REPORT
WHAT HAPPENED? There was a sense that ARISE was a beginning of something in Canada. The scripture in Zechariah 4:10 do not despise the day of small beginnings, and that a stake had been placed in the land was a thought on th e minds of some. This brought to mind the scripture (Zechariah 4:6-10a) that the Lord spoke to me in 1996 at a global Kings Kids meeting in Atlanta Georgia. Five thousand kids from around the world had met at Target World to worship and prepare to go out into the Americas on outreach. Our team from Manitoba was one of the smallest teams and when we got there they didnt even have a record of us coming. As I pondered these verses( while in ATLANTA) I felt the Lord say to me. Carolin, dont despise the day of small beginnings. As there was a cloud the size of a mans hand in the sky in Elijahs time that burst open into a torrent, at the right time I will send a downpour of My Spirit! (From, The JOURNEY, following the rainbow.) A short while later there was a terrific rainstorm, as if God was highlighting this. Could it be that these ARISE meetings are like the cloud the size of a mans hand? Little clouds harbingers of more to come? However there was also the sense that the seeds that have been planted by the older generations are bearing fruit. We are hearing of stories of places where a number of years ago God led people to pray and we are seeing a fulfillment of what was prayed now. Whatever the case may be , new seeds are being sown, but they are also lining up with seeds that were planted before. Together ARISE, let your light shine so the glory of the Lord may be revealed.

SO here are the reports. ENJOY and be blessed. NEWFOUNDLAND: CONCEPTION BAY SOUTH,

Arise went very well, we had appox 12 children and we had 25 between youth and adults! We prayed and we sang. My pastor wants to do it again next year but wants to branch out with other churches. Krista

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND: FREDDY MARTIN, SUMMERSIDE COMMUNITY CHURCH

I believe we may of been the last to know about the event but our Lord made sure we heard about the Arise event. Interestingly the Video of "Fruit of the Spirit" and other information you have forwarded.... has been occurring here at SCC with our own children, since last summer's homemade VBS. The Holy Spirit has been leading our children and several teachers of our large group in several areas similar to the messages you have funneled our way. Praise God. Our event was last minute maybe because when I heard of it I was on vacation in the USA. Our event was very small (seed like) if compared to our Sunday am numbers for children, after a deep worship time we had both adults and children separate to discern what the Lord was showing the children. The children were open and shared the power of the cross for them. One video we used showed the Lion the children highlighted their comfort knowing Jesus and how he cares for them. The children shared how safe they felt with this group of SCC adults and Children. With expectancy we look forward to the Holy Spirit growing us from the seeds we planted April 14 2012. Looking forward to see how the Holy Spirit will lead us next year.

NEW BRUNSWICK: ROTHESAY: DAVE AND RHONDA PETERSON,

We ended up praying at Josh and Deja's. There were 14 of us and we had a good time. Micah and Katie couldn't make it. We asked the kids to share some the things that affected children in the world. They shared quite a few things, very thoughtful and deep. We had a beach ball globe and we let the kids choose countries they wanted to pray for. It was interesting how they chose countries where they knew someone. Our Iranian friends wanted to pray for Iran and the children who are forced to memorize the Koran in Arabic. We prayed for David's sister in missions in Burkina Fas o starting a school in a village for children. Jonah wanted to pray for Shiloh who is studying to be able to translate the bibl e into another language. We sang and worshiped and sang some songs as intercession.

QUEBEC: LANAUDIRE, ANNE MCMECHAN (YWAM)

There were about 30 kids present at the meeting. What was really good was that there was a representation from both the Catholic Charismatic church as well as the English Baptist and a Mennonite church. That was a miracle that we were all able to come together. There was a hunger expressed to go further and when we all worshipped together; across denominations and generations a tangible joy was felt in the room. There was a lot of positive feedback which opened the door for more in the future. Kids helped lead worship, and read scriptures. They also played some games. The prayer focus was to follow God`s heart in this. One child drew a picture of Jesus on the cross.

QUEBEC: MONTREAL, ODETTE MENARD (ALLIANCE ET VIE CHURCH)

As for the Arise meeting, it was really wonderful! The children enjoyed it very much and they gave their very heart during 2 full hours! 2 hours full of worship and praise, dances and shouts, and declaring the Word of God in a mighty way! Right after the meeting was over the people attending were saying that they felt there was more room in the spirit and we could feel that new reality the day after at our Sunday morning service as well. It was a wonderful time for our church and everyone was well aware that we were part of a global event with a great impact in the Heavens! We will sure consider doing it again next year!

ONTARIO: BOWMANVILLE, PAUL AND JENNY.

Well we did our best with a few mishaps but all went very well. We worshipped God with flags, dancing, singing and just running around a little bit. All the children did some painting and coloring. The theme from the painting was God is building a house of praise, prayer and worship. None of the children were looking at what the other was doing but they had that theme from drawing a house to lots of exciting colors and using the sword to slay the dragon. All the children with very little help were compelled to spend this hour devoted to God. The theme in prayer was to definitely pray for the orphans around the world and all children; especially for the children of China, Haiti and India. The prayer was that God would bless them with all that they need and even more.

MANITOBA: WINNIPEG
WINNIPEG: Carolin/ Doug/ Esther/ Rhonda/ Joanne and many kids who were also in leadership. ARISE was marvelous here in Winnipeg; surprises and timing. The Lord kept on giving me the scripture of the parable of the workers in the vineyard, Matt.20 1-16. We had kids involved practicing since January, some on the planning and leadership since Sept. And some came at the last minute and were given words to share and tasks to offer. All came WHEN they were called eagerly IN His time. There were hidden significances...an adopted young boy calling out YOU are CHOSEN! You are led to do great things! A handicapped girl, that loves to worship, and her mom making wordless books to give out to kids to share the gospel with their friends. Real acorns found at the last minute to hand out. A foster girl, one year old was prayed over. Someone had had a vision of her before she came to this family, of God sending them an Acorn with the name Kierra...shortly later this girl arrived and they named her Kierra. (The family at that time new nothing of the vision) TWINS being born the night of ARISE. The Mom having prayed for this to occur on the ARISE weekend and accordingly named the children Aleah (meaning ARISE) and Elias, Elias, meaning "Yahweh is my God" or the Lord is My God a derivative of Elijah! (Malachi 4:6 which was read at ARISE) THEN I was speaking at a womans AGLOW meeting and I had them go into a session of waiting on the Lord, to pray how God wants to position themselves as the roots of the tree to nurture the acorns so to speak. One lady was drawn to the time that she worked with an inner city child mentoring her. The young girls name was Kierra. (She knew nothing of the story I just shared above) I was just at a wedding and attending was a young girl whose little one was with her and she had named the child now 41/2 months old. Ayla...and her grandma piped up saying it means mighty oak we call her our little Acorn. THEY had only heard about Arise vaguely and had no idea of the Isa. passage. I shared with them Isaiah. 61:3 and 11 and boy did it connect and minister to them. At the meeting itself we had many people from many different churches attending. We had a kids choir and worship team as well as a kids dance team. As an intro we had produced a video presentation of kids globally, to the song To All Nations. This led to a video of the ASANTE childrens choir from RWANDA interceding and then going into a drum line. 3 young boys here joined them live, and then changed the rhythm to Cyahumba, and the kids team came in singing we are marching in the light of God in 4 different languages. We started with a Herald reading Joel 2:15-16 , and a trumpet call by 2 generations. We then had an extended time of worship and a young Chinese girl (born in China) read Ps. 8:2, which happened to be at exactly 4:14 P.M. connecting us to the roots of arise in Asia. A young Pilipino boy spoke on what Isaiah 61:3 meant to him. We read the Malachi 4;6 passage where God speaks of the hearts of the fathers turning to the children and the children to the Fathers. A father and son led that followed by a daughter and father solo. Deliverer come set me free. We had a young man lead an interactive corporate prayer focusYou are chosendo do great things for God. We then broke up into prayer stations focusing on the different focuses that are seen in Isaiah 61: 1-3.for salvation, to set captives free, beauty from asheshomelessness and so on focusing on the needs in the 4-14 window. Josh Wilsons You- tube video of I refuse was played as we went to our stations. The adults remained in the sanctuary joining in praying for the 4-14 window. After wards we had an open mike, where the kids led out in prayer for needs as the Lord impressed on them. We finished EXACTLY 5:14 with a and a final blessing from the pastor of the church, and a commission to Where you Go Ill go, What you do Ill do and so on which was danced by 3 of the dance team as we sang along.

There is definitely enthusiasm to continue next year and we will wait to ask the Lord what he has in mind for that and how it will look. I am seeing though that it is God desires that ALL the generations take their place and ARISE not just the young but that the roots and trunk of the mighty oak tree take their place SO that the acorns can blossom and be nurtured. We had 7 adults and 9 kids from Morris at the Winnipeg Arise. The kids enjoyed it. The adults were very impressed - esp. with the children involvement. We represented two churches from our community and we would like to host an Arise in our community next year. You have given us a lot of ideas for this. We hope to stay in touch with you - to see how God is leading. Prior to hearing about Arise, 4 of us heard from Lord that we need to reach out to children - we have since met and are starting a Praise/Worship/Prayer night once a month targeting and involving children. Roz Edel (Morris) Morris at the Winnipeg Arise

MANITOBA: PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, BILL AND MARYANN GALSTON & MICHELLE ALLEC
We had about 25 kids from 3 different churches. They were very shy, new building and not knowing each other. As leaders we felt it was a good start and thought in this coming year we'd like to have a more relaxed event for them to get to know each and maybe more lead up stuff. It was a learning curve for us, never the less we felt it was well worth it. There is much power in our children and I was thrilled to be part of this pioneered event! I like your idea to have up leading events next year and I think that will take care of the discomfort the children may have felt. I fully support ideas for the next Arise! event.

ALBERTA: EDSON, GINA

This was something totally new. A few years ago Gina read a book, children of revival, by Vane Lane, that really spoke to her. Now 10 years later God is bringing that back to her. Her church has web streamed The Cry events that created a hunger for more and to actually mobilize the children. 70 people attended the ARISE event. God pieced everything together. She would be driving and one of her kids would be listening to the radio, and said, mom, this is praying song, right? She mentioned that she kept reading Isa 61 and asking the Lord for inspiration as to how to draw form that for the meeting but was drawing a blank so she asked the Lord to bring someone else. God did and the songs God had led her to plus the thoughts that this person brought dovetailed amazingly. It was the hand of the LORD They were led to have one of the older gentlemen bless the children and anoint them with the oil of gladness, after they went through a black canopy that represented sin that they were to lay down. As people came out of the canopy they broke into spontaneous prayer for the children of the world. Then there was an open mike and they prayed for the children of the world. The youngest was 2 and prayed `I thank you that you listen and you hear when we pray Psalm 150 was read in unison and kids used flags in worship and danced and some kids even did some break dancing.

ALBERTA: EDMONTON KAYLA (ALLYSON)

It was an adventure to see that it even happen ed. There were a lot of obstacles- it was His heart but it was very difficult. The scripture do not despise the day of small beginnings was a real encouragement. They declared we are on board with your heart; we want to bless your heart. 25 people attended and the day of the arise we felt a total peace and clam come over us. And rest. We wanted to let God have his way. He worship leader led worship and the kids all had flags and waved them as they sang. We had some prayer stations where we encouraged kids to write down their prayers and what God put on their hearts. We instructed them to sit and listen first and ask God what was on His heart. One of the kids had the thought `I love you, He listens. Prayers were for family, school mates, the poor in the world and for teacher. At the end it was enough that we made God happy and that we are being heard. We ended with a blessing over all the kids which was like incense to God.

ALBERTA: GRANDE CACHE, CHERYL

It was excellent. We had about 50 people, children and adults. It was the first time another church partnered with us to pray. We invited all churches but only one showed up, but that is a great step in the right direction of unity. We had quite a few adults that joined us and was greatly appreciated. Cheryl

ALBERTA: CALGARY, ERICA BERGH

Our ARISE went well, I think. I'm not sure that the "waiting on the Lord" section was very effective though. Mostly it was praise and prayer for Canadian and Ugandan youth. The Rocky Mountain Choristers partnered with the the Watoto African Childrens choir and they LOVED the interaction. Some of the Canadian kids said that they wanted to go to Uganda to work with AIDS orphans there as a result. That's pretty cool, I think. We've since had some awesome conversations about bringing God into our negative or 'hot' emotions and asking His Spirit to be poured out in those situations. I wasnpretty impressed by how many of them do call upon the Lord to help them in their daily lives (these are 8-13 year olds). Would we do it next year - yes, I think that we would. We would love to make contact with others in the area that also work with kids.

BRITISH COLUMBIA: VANCOUVER, SANDRA, WESTWOOD. CC

Starting January they had a prayer and fasting focus with a desire to disciple kids in prayer. For Arise they felt that they were not to worry about numbers and the thought that if parents came on board that the kids would come. They had about 35 people attend with kids aged toddlers to 14 years old. They met for 2 hours in worship and prayer, using worship DVD`s and prayed in between. They prayed the Bible specifically Isa. 61:3. The leaders wrote out some prayers beforehand that some of the children read, and some were read in unison. New level of prayer was established among the children. There was a sense that they needed to be totally dependant on God and that the children needed to be discipled as far as prayer. They felt that a stake had been placed and that they were ready to take the land.

BRITISH COLUMBIA; PRINCE GEORGE, ELAINE ZIMMER

When we were discerning and planning together, we were not concerned about numbers. Our heart was that the kids would arise!! So we felt we were breaking ground so to speak in this area for the children of our region. We wanted the kids to rise up and take their place, not just for the global event, but for life. We ended up having 147 kids and 100 adults at the event. We were maxed out for space; it was hot, noisy, and full of life!! We felt this was a significant turnout for our community, especially since many that came were ones we were not familiar with. There seems to be a whole stream of families that want to have their children rise up with them and worship the Lord. I was very excited about this, because usually you see the same folks at the various conferences and events around the community. What was also significant I thought was that whole families came. We were expecting maybe one adult with their children. But that did not happen. Instead whole families came, some with grandparents. God is on the move and bringing families together in many different ways. We had 4 different teams lead the worship. The first team started with the roars like a lion song. They were declaring that Jesus lives today, and were crying out for revival in our land. The next team began singing songs of revival, and it starts in our own hearts. They were consecrating themselves to the Lord, singing you have all of me Lord.

Neither of these teams had talked or discussed what songs they would do, yet it all flowed so beautifully. I felt it was significant and amazing that these young ones were declaring and crying out this way for God to move in our land, and to start with them/us. God takes these cries seriously, and He will answer. We had a young East Indian girl read a thing she wrote during the worship time. And in there she asked that Jesus would live in her heart. Her family have only recently started going to a home group at a neighborhood church, so this was a powerful statement from her. Young ones prayed for their friends and families, and spoke out their love for God, and the things he says to them. I feel God did so much more than we expected. We were so blessed, to be able to join in. The ground has been broken, and these young ones were ploughing for their generation, to rise up and take their place in the body. I loved how one 8 year old knew that he was to be one of the team worship leaders!!! And how one 10 year old from a neighboring town, knew she had to read a letter she had written to God some time ago. It was all so amazing!!! Meanwhile in our fair city, people are starting to have light in their eyes again. The community has really stepped up to help the explosion victims and their families. Some of the churches are also helping however they can. There seems to be a new awareness of family importance, and God. For this we are thankful, ELAINE

PROPHETIC WORDS OR PICTURES FROM CANADA:

What Stefanie said about it, is: I am standing by Jesus' horse. My dad is the other person nearby. Jesus is not in the picture but is a little further over. A little chickee is on the horses' back. And there is a rainbow (so heaven :). On the back of the painting she has written: God loves you and me the most! You love God the most! I love God the most! I love You and I know that You love me! Stefanie Kostamo - 6 years Stefanie did not know how horses have been brought forward as a prophetic word in this season in Canada. Her mom is an artist, and so the kids do art a fair bit. So being grandma, I get to see it. When she showed me this, it hit me because of what we are hearing on E2H across the nation. The kids are getting it too. Stefanie is a twin. She and her sister, Samantha are prophetic artists.

MARJA: PRINCE GEORGE

NIVERVILLE/WINNIPEG ARISE
BEFORE HAND: 1) Saw a large volcano from a distance and then it zoomed in as if he was standing inside the volcano (felt like he was inside a cave). He heard a noise that caused the ignition of a spark...the spark landed on the floor right next to a haystack and set it on fire. As the haystack burned the volcano began to erupt. During the eruption everything was silent expect the sound of trumpets. He said the trumpeters sounded like at the presentation of a king... (the trumpets were the long kind with a flag or standard of the king hanging down from them). As the trumpets sounded the lava came down the mountains side joined with many angels...he said the angels were on fire bearing weapons in their hands...as the lava and angels descended together they pierced through the enemy and darkness below...destroying everything in their path. Then he saw a man that felt was Jesus wearing a white tunic and a purple sash around his waist. He also was clad in armor and had a sword at his side. He drew his sword and there was brilliant flash of bright light so that everything went white. Afterwards everything that has been burned and destroyed became lush and green... and Jesus smiled. Benjamin Williams 12 years old Niverville October 2011 As a result at the Winnipeg ARISE we started by having 2 people, One older and one younger blow a silver trumpet. A young herald came and read: Blow a trumpet in Zion, Consecrate a fastgather the people, sanctify the congregation. Gather the children and the nursing infants, assemble the elders for `` IT IS TIME TO LIFT UP THE NAME OF JESUS! (Joel 2:15ff)

2) Acorn idea....

I love the analogy of seeds growing into might oak trees!

Just a couple days ago Benjamin brought me a picture of Satan and God doing battling over a piece of fruit like an appleSatan had a crude cut dagger with which he cut into the fruit and God had a long two edged sword with which he cut into it The picture seemed significant to me, but I wasnt quite sure how as I was getting ready for bed it came to me they are battling over the seed! The fruit will come and go, be picked and eaten, it will be used upand cannot reproduce on its own but the seed carries the life locked inside of it.and though its own dying it releases new a greater life that continues to grow and multiply from generation to generation! So the Acorn is significant as is the seed analogy" Daniel and Benjamin Williams

This is a planting of the LORD for the display of His splendor. God will be victoriou AS a result made a TREE of righteousness and the kids wrote their names on ACORNS and glued them on the tree. Since then I have spoken at some meetings and encouraged ADULTS to ARISE and take THEIR PLACE AND SIGN THE ROOTS OR THE TRUNK OF THE TREE. 3) The picture was of a large tree with wonderful textured bark and wide. It went up into the sky and gave off lots of branches and then leaves and fruit. They gave shade and fruit and you could rest agains t the trunk and enjoy it. I also saw the roots go down deep and some you could see a little above ground. There were lots of roots and they were spread out wide. The roots are bringing Gods intimacy up to the leaves. I see today that the trunk is gen x and the roots are the boomers and the leaves and fruit are the next generation. Under the Isaiah 61 anointing, God said that He will heal the broken-hearted and release the captives so that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified (Isaiah 61:3). 1. Within the context of the last 70 years, as you say, the baby boomers are the roots. 2. Gen X are the trunk. 3. The rising generation (Generation Y, or the Millennial Generation) are the leaves and the fruit! This is a good Word. One generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts (Psalm 145:4). I think that the revelation that we may have been missing is that God is an inter-generational God, and He designed this thing in such a way that each generation is to build upon the righteous roots of the previous generation so that we dont have to start from scratch again in every generation, because then we keep going in circles, and end up getting into the trap of the endless cycles from past generations who have come short of full maturity in Christ. The only thing that can break the cycles of nature is a death, and then a rising up to newness of life. ROGER Arnbruster: from Niverville. (Adult)

ARISE WINNIPEG:
Lately I have felt God asking me if I will stand up and fight evil and that the time has come to do what you know is right. No more hesitating! We have a choice to stand up and make a difference in the world... or we will just stand there staring into space as evil destroys lives all around us. It is easy to call ourselves Christians, but hard to do what it means. Will our generation be warriors of light or will we let evil take over. We must come together and praise God, for the time of Jesus return is coming.

I had a vision of kid's joining together as a powerful army. Each kid was like a rain drop of water filling up a dry pit... and together they were forming a lake of water behind a big dam. The dam was the enemy trying to block the flow of water....to villages and cities below that were in need of water. As the kids rise up (in worship and prayer) the water levels grew and grew until it poured over the dam and broke down the obstacles in it's path....bringing life to those in need. Rom 13:11-12 Says: 11 And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armour of light.
(Benjamin shared these thoughts at ARISE in Manitoba. He is 12 years old)

PRAYER FOCUSES:
Prayer stations divided into the different focuses as listed below.. Winnipeg.
Isaiah 61 Thank you that Your spirit is on me. and that you have anointed me, OR CHOSEN me and sent me, to tell the good news, to all people. For You will put beautiful crowns on their heads in place of ashes. and gladness instead of sorrow. ... You send me to announce freedom for those who have been captured. and you want me to set prisoners free from their dark prisons. a spirit of praise in place of a spirit of sadness.
2

... I know that you also send me to comfort those who are sad. and to help those ....who are filled with sorrow.

You have sent me to comfort those whose hearts have been broken.

Many places prayed for family needs and friends and needs in their community. Others prayed for kids in other nations and needs of kids around the world that they would be set free, cared for and hear about Jesus.

Prince George Web streamed their event and it is on the ARISE website www.kidsarise.com http://canada.kidsarise.com/ in the gallery section you can see more picture of the ARISE events in Canada.

FOLLOW UP:
Many places also voiced a desire for more equipping and training in leading kids in intercession and worship. This is something that is being discussed with Gwen as to how to do this. There is a possibility that the ARISE website will have web streaming capabilities where training offered in different parts of the world would be available on-line. I am also looking at material that I have already prepared that includes teaching and activities on intercession and the prophetic for kids. There may be others that already have material that could be shared. In the following months you will hear more about this. Also please let me know of any material you have or ideas that could be shared. We all have a piece of the puzzle. What you have may be just what is needed somewhere else. That said as I have been thinking about this I feel that the Lord would have us grow deeper. I know that He desires to really connect at a heart level with the kids in Canada and that they desire to draw close to Him and forget about themselves and concentrate on Him and worship as an old chorus says. That is something that is not taught per say but sought as we seek the Lord to pour out His Spirit and release that downpour that he promised. Be blessed

PRAYER FOCUS
Because this was the first meeting we have done it was really powerful to see even the few kids we had having so much fun and getting into praying and excited to do all of the prayer workshops!

PROPHETIC WORD
I think that it was spiritually significant in a part of claiming our church hall back for God and having the children lead prayer. I think that it was significant too as it will be the beginning of many more years to come and setting that foundation for the next generation of kids praying!

REPORT
Est. Number Attended: 52 Est. Number of Children: 22 We had a really brilliant afternoon, kids arise formed part of a series several people within our kids work team had independently felt we should run to focus on prayer with our children, and the children really engaged with it in a way we hadn't anticipated they would have been able to do. When the children were asked to give feedback, my favourite quote was "I felt I had a real connection to God". All of the children took a prayer journal home to continue the things they'd begun.

PRAYER FOCUS
Our focus was "ways to pray" and we had 5 prayer stations dotted around the building that children were invited to go to as they wished, we had Reflective, Intercessory, Thanksgiving, Listening, Teacher- led and Creative prayers. I think the biggest thing the children talked about was how many ways there were to interact with God and how much fun it could be.

PROPHETIC WORD
Within the course of a month, I noticed the kids arise event on the internet, our children's work leader really felt a call to encourage our children to pray, and the leader of our prayer ministry approached the elders about wanting to involve the children in prayer ministry more. Then, when we discussed focusing on prayer in what we were teaching our children we discovered that the materials we use had a session on the Lord's prayer on the day we'd agreed to begin our focus. We have therefore concluded that God wants our children to pray and that He has something amazing for them.

Thank you for prayers for Arise! in Helsinki - we called it In The Father's House as the Lord pointed out to us that He wants to inspire families to pray together. We had two groups with families leading the worship, and Lasse Hirvilammi and I led the Steps of Prayer from Jane Mackie's book. The group that hosted us did a really good teaching on puppetry and we finished with one father with his two children lead Israeli dance and the kids did not want to stop :) Father spoke to us, among other things, that we should receive healing from each other. At some point children prayed from what was being heard. We had about 50 adults and around 100 children, which included about 25 families, all from different churches. So I believe it had a great impact!

Then a time of teaching and two children gave a testimony of answered prayers in their life. We offered prayer for the children who wanted to come to Jesus as their refuge. Many came forward and asked to be prayed for. We took time to listen to God. We finished with proclamation of Is 61 and praying for the nations. It was an awesome time as many children had never done that before. The parents who stayed were so blessed to see God moving, to see their children praying, praising and worshiping God and having fun. We praise God for breakthrough in our country for the children. We expected 10 children and 19 turned up!! We believe in little beginnings. God will make his way in the hearts of the children in France.

REPORT
Est. Number Attended: 120 Est. Number of Children: 90 A beautiful sister in Canada sent me the link www.kidsarise.com stating that she thought Jericho might like to host this event. Not really known for our hosting prowess, we prayed and waited for a green light from God. The burden grew and we decided to join the throng of children and adults around the world in a 24 hour prayer chain to dedicate this next generation (ages 4-14 in particular) to the Lord! Our thoughts led us to invite the children's homes whose ministries are similar to ours: rescuing and redeeming the children whom world has deemed unredeemable. It seemed like a perfect plan. As the day drew nearer, we began to experience difficulties. Like home after home contacting to say that they could not come for some reason or another. And then on THE day, our designated keyboard player did not show up. We had been fasting and praying for this event but now we had to pause everything and cry out to God more intensely. It was Janny, one of our teachers, who had the idea first. She had been chatting with the young man who came to help us with the balloon towers. He was a pastor's son and just "happened" to be a worship leader in his church. And guess what instrument he played? Yep, he was a keyboard player. This balloon man turned out to be a major gift from God. Not only was he willing to stay and play but he also was the only one who was tall enough to hang the map of the world that we had meticulously painted for the event. There is a story in the Bible about a party that was thrown and all the invitees could not come so the fiesta givers went out to the highways and byways to bring in the lost. So that's what we did. Our "event" didn't really look as polished and lovely as what we saw online but that little ragtaggle band of children praised and worshipped and listened to the heart of Jesus and when it came time to declare Isaiah 61:1-3 over them, the presence of the Lord was palpable and real. Gisela, a preschool teacher, then prophesied over the children and God spoke Words of encouragement and vision into their lives. A ribbon with Arise 2012 stamped on it was our version of the Arise tee-shirt because our funds were pretty limited. We rejoice to report that many children accepted Christ (we used the children's version of Evangelism Explosion) and were touched by His Spirit. Listening to God At the very end we all spent time asking Jesus to speak to our hearts. The children wrote down or drew pictures of what they sensed God had spoken. One little boy whom Marlyn had scooped up off the streets came running forward. As I asked him what he had heard from the Lord, he announced boldly that God had showed him that He loved him! Another young boy had drawn a cross with a man kneeling before it. He explained that God had shown him that he would be used to bring many to the cross of Christ! Another young girl reported that God had told her she would be a Psalmist in the future. I copied this report from a blog that I did to explain the event. Please check there for the pictures that go along with the explanation. www.jerichoministriesblog.blogspot.com. We started planning late in the game and for that reason had the event in a church. Next year we plan on

starting earlier to get the word out and to find a neutral location. We really wanted to reach out to the different children's homes but God seemed to lead us to the children on the streets.

PRAYER FOCUS
See above. This was a very touching moment because the children were so open to hearing Him. The young woman who led the Isaiah 61 declaration has the gift of prophecy and she was used mightily to speak words of encouragement into the children's lives.

PROPHETIC WORD
We have sensed in the last year that God is really putting this vision to raise up and equip the next generation on the hearts of the leaders

Est. Number Attended: Est. Number of Children:

Pastor. Dhanraj started the programme with prayer Mr. Samuel Rahuri spoke to the kids a little about the whole purpose of the Global 4-14 Day, sharing about the initiation of this world-wide day of prayer and fasting. We were rendered a beautiful Telugu number by Bro. Balaraj, who invited the kids forward, and led them to the Fathers throne of grace in a wonderful time of worship. This was followed by a lovely folk dance rendered to us by a group of young girls. The YWAM Hyderabad team led the kids in an exciting yet meaningful time of praise and worship, motivating them to jump for joy, and be open in expressing their love and adoration of our wonderful God!

The children were also encouraged to step up and pray for various needs put forward by Pastor Dhanraj. It was overwhelming to watch these little kids go to Yahwehs throne of grace. Their prayers were simply as innocent as they were. Sweet, short, uninterrupted and shot straight from the heart, it was inspiring to watch these tiny ones ask God for various needs such as health, strength, peace, etc. A short 5-minute message was spoken to the children by Bro. Joel, a childevangelist. Joel spoke from Acts 12, where a little girl, Rhoda attended the door when Peter knocked after his prison release. The folks at home thought she was crazy and teased her saying she must have seen Peters ghost. But when they looked, it WAS true. There at the door standing, was Peter. Rhoda was one to pray every day for the entire household and even those outside. It was because of her frequent communication with God, that He used and blessed her household. Joel went on to encourage the kids not to lose heart in sharing the word of God to fellow human beings and that it does not make a difference whether you were a child or a grown-up. The Great Commission applies to one and all. What amazed me was the enthusiasm the kids had during the intense worship session. There was one song that had undoubtedly the simplest lyrics in the world. The lyrics of the song were: Yesaiah! Yup! Thats it! Just one word Yesaish, meaning Jesus in Telugu. It was wonderful . None of the children were restless, none of them moving around distracting others, but very humbly and quietly worshipping and thanking God for giving them Yesaiah. It just goes to show that you dont really need fancy words to praise the Creator. You just need to lift high one name JESUS! Put him above the world, all its schemes, pleasures and distractions; and youll see your life work miracles and wonders. The program came to its near end with Pastor Dhanraj inviting all those that were sick to come up onto the

stage and requested one of the other kids to uplift these sick children to the Healer. A little boy stepped up and very humbly started asking God for healing among these that were sick; that He would touch and heal them, and that they would in turn glorify and praise His name.

Bro. Vinod Kathramalla Cordinator of ARISE Hyderabad closed the evening by thanking God and ARISE Singapore team, and Who helped them in arranging the programme. This was followed by pastor Dhanraj praying and blessing the children, and inviting them to fellowship with one another over ice-cream and samosas!

We do pray that in the days to come, as we can arrange the programme and also bless more children with praise and worship.

REPORT
Est. Number Attended: Est. Number of Children: 120,000 We are still in awe about the working of the Spirit of God amongst the children of our nation and the world. We would like to honour our Almighty God for Gwen and her ARISE! team in Singapores obedience for sharing this mandate with the rest of the world and Southern Africa in particular. All the honour, the glory and the power of the Mighty Kids Arise assemblies belongs to God - the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit! I am particularly humbled by the 250 organisers in Southern Africa consisted of Church leaders, School representatives, Childrens ministries, Parents, Grand-parents, Individuals and Organisations who took hands in Unity to gather more than 120,000 children in praise, worship and prayer to lift up the name of Jesus in the presence of Father God. Once again our sincere thanks to everybodys obedience, hard work and perseverance. The assemblies in Southern Africa consisted of various small and large gatherings: Presenters used their own style presentations or pre-recorded Mighty Kids Arise DVDs Families followed the pre-recorded live broadcast on Kruiskyk TV, Communities in rural areas gathered under trees and sheds, Churches of different denominations gathered their assemblys children during the weekend on Saturday and Sunday in groups of between 20-1000 per group, 110 Schools arranged meetings during the week on average 800 children at a time, 140 Events across the country gathered from 50 to 10,000 children and adults at a time.

We praise God for even more gatherings which have been arranged in the following weeks and months. Mighty Kids Arise is still carrying on in Southern Africa. The impact of ARISE! through the Spirit of God can be sensed from the following testimonies, prophecies and Word from the mouths of children

PROPHETIC WORD
Testimonies and prophecies We have seen the working of God's Mighty Power in the schools during this time. Kids experienced the Presence of the Lord in different ways. Kids saw angels speaking to them, heard the voice of the Lord giving instructions to forgive etc., saw visions of heaven & so much more. Many were touched & broke down crying. We saw scripture being fulfilled. Joel 2:28 NIV "And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Educators said in all their years of teaching, some over 20yrs, they have never experienced the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, as they have during the Mighty Kids Arise assemblies. Even the maintenance staff at the school left their tasks to listen to the message and burst into tears, saying to the headmaster ' I don't know what to say about what I'm seeing here!'. Some, no, most children heard for the very first time that they are the most important in the Kingdom of God, which were very amazed to them. To hear that Jesus loves them and that they belong to Him, made children attending felt they were very special. In the Community where the Outreach are taken place, few little ones know this GREAT love of Jesus. For them to hear that God KNOW them by name were/are astonish to them. But in order for a little child to accept that AMAZING love is to receive such love by us who know and live God by accepting and love each child who cross our path. If you want a child in hardships to accept Jesus, one have to first SHOW love to such a child.the

only thing we as a individuals and as a child of God can do is to ask the Holy Spirit to open our eyes, so we can see through Jesus eyes, and hear when the Holy Spirit are speaking to us. Thank you for listening and ran this campaign for Jesus and am I so glad and grateful to be part of it all. Although we didnt receive any message God gave children, do I know that there is a lot more little ones who know how important they really are and how LOVED they are by Jesus our King.. In Spirit I saw snowflakes, shines like little stars, going up at once received by our Lord Jesus who accepted those little voices of praise and worship with a BIG, love-filled smile with such soft eyes filled with His love for each child all over the world!! Isaiah 54:2 Enlarge the place of you tent, and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; spare not; lengthen you cords and strengthen your stakes, 3 For you will spread abroad to the right hand and to the left; and your offspring will possess the nations and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. We were blessed with the co-operation with the people that help in making it happen. Some church groups attended. Children really learned more about prayer and especially grabbed into praying for Children in other countries. The anointing of the Holy Spirit was so strong at our assembly, adults couldnt stop crying. The name of ADONAI was lifted up high and exalted and we praise Him for the opportunity to be involved in this wonderful Global day of prayer. In Somerset West we had a small gathering of about 120 people in a hall on a farm just outside Somerset West. It was a blessed experience for us all. We focused a great deal on sharing the basics of the gospel again, repentance and forgiveness, had a few worship dances, lifted banners to indicate that He wants to tabernacle with us and is the canopy over us. We had a banner of LOVE and gave each child a little banner with LOVE written on it to wear on their foreheads as they left. We have to carry a banner of LOVE wherever we go. Praise name of Jesus our kids have made it, that was touching service to see children worshiping God with all their hart. We had a prayer and fast day on the 6th and various intercession Sundays. Word that was received during fast and prayer: Rom 8:19; Ex 33:13-21; Prophetic word: Through the praise and worship of children the dark veil of Satan over our town will be torn away completely and will never return. From Arise Sunday people will start to experience breakthroughs in all areas. Word that was received during intercession: Ezra 1:5 Benjamin Generation; Joel 2: 28 Children will prophesy; Isaiah 61:3 (confirmation); (Warning & encouragement) Neh : 6:1-16. We also received a prophetic word: The children will be the protectors of the Gates. Through a vision God instructed us to do a prophetic action: We had to Break the ground with a spade so that the dead crust on top of the fertile ground could be crumbled and the growing can start. We do feel that God is speaking to us about teaching our children how to pray besides from the normal thank you for the wonderful day. The children were happy to come and took part in most of the days activities. It was so amazing to be able to do an event as churches in unity. God has truly blessed the event and we received very positive feedback from the children as well as parents that joined with us. We have not completely followed the program as set out. We created different prayer stations where the kids could move to and pray for specific things that God has placed on their hearts. The stations were taken from points we have identified out of the scripture Isaiah 61. And then we had a station where the kids could wait on God and hear what he wanted to say to them. It was a practical way to have the kids involved. It was very successful. It is time for the children as prophesied by Royal Kids in Indie: I will shake the nations through children. They will reach the nations with My work, preach the good news. Plant churches, heal the sick. Prophesy to the nations. The children will lead the end-time message. Joel 3:9 Proclaim this among the nations; Prepare war! Stir up the mighty men! Let all the men of war draw near, let them come up.

From the mouths of the children Jesus says we must go and tell everyone about God. Jesus is the light and if we live in Him we will have joy. The words "Our Father" were heard. Be kind and good to your friends and share God's love We have to speak the truth Love your friends and be patient with each other like God is with us One lady shared that she saw little flames on the children's heads as she prayed the previous day We have to pray for our parents We have to share the gospel with other people One child heard she has to pray for people working on the boats on the dangerous sea One girl asked that we pray for kids that do not have friends We shouldnt be shy in asking God for things, stand up and every day ask Him for things which are on your heart. A 9-year old had a vision of children in heaven with the message: We should not hate people.

Believe in Jesus, He will walk with you, do not be afraid, He is with you always. Tell other people that they are special, and that they should hand their worries to God. Look forward, not backward, Jesus will be with you always. A Girl with Ephesians 6:1-3 on her heart and said: Honour your father and your mother, so that you may live for a long time and love your neighbour as much as you love yourself. Each of us has opportunities by which we can live, do not think that you will never become someone worthy when you are big. You will always be someone worthy; I see joy and lots of light. Believe in yourself, trust God and continue to pray, God will always be with you. Become unite in Christ as brothers and sisters and Worship God with everything, your actions too. God will send rain to the farmers People must help each other and also look after the poor and the hungry. Phil 4:13 I can do anything through Christ that strengthens me! A girl dreamt about Jesus. That He died on the cross for her, because He loves her. Boy: Said that he knew Jesus loves him very much. 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation. Gods special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light. Hebrews 6:11 We want each of you to show the same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized. Dont lose faith Jesus died for our sins, he paid the ultimate price for us. Jesus said we should not kill Believe, pray, have faith and trust in God Jesus loves us the way we are and we dont have to change Live for Him and declare His name. There is power in the name of Jesus Give and you will receive God always has time for you, you are Gods No 1 We should have childlike faith Follow in my footsteps says Jesus God loves you no matter how you are. You will always be His child, through good and bad times With God in your life, you are free God is the source of our happiness and joy We are his sheep, He will look after us. I am Gods princess I am Gods star I am nothing without God

Amazing testimonies, I think I can only add this: I LOVE YOU FATHER GOD, YOU ARE SO AMAZING AND WONDERFUL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE FOR THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD. PLEASE HELP US ADULTS, TO GUIDE AND MENTOR THIS 4-14 YEAR OLD GENERATION INTO YOUR PRESENCE TO CHANGE THE WORLD. I WILL WAIT PATIENTLY FOR YOUR NEXT STRATEGIC MOVE. HERE I AM LORD, USE ME, I AM YOUR HUMBLE SERVANT. AMEN.

Below is my testimony are report. + We were able to gather many children above the number we expected. We were able to meet with Sunday school teachers from different church to work with them through this time with the most support coming from Pr. Joanna Matovu of Evangel church Kizungu. This lady on the 13th of April at night, she decided to buy the food that all the children would eat as we gathered so early at 2:00 pm yet some children arrived by noon. +On the 14th, We got some good support from different members who worked to organize and put children together. i don't know the situation outside Uganda but the children in Uganda are so stubborn and and so it's always hectic to gather such a big number of children. + We realized on this day that in Uganda we have been missing children in the area of praising and worshiping God. I don't want to assume but I saw a special grace when children managed to lift their voices and led other little ones in session. + A very big cloud of rain by 5:00pm fell and marked the end of the meeting. According to our culture, this is a sign of blessings and answered prayers. + We had some financial contribution from ARISE TEAM that supported through transporting children. + This day opened a way for us to focus on training the children in the area of prayer, praising and worshiping God. + Right now we have had some songs recorded from LET THE CHILDREN through our sister Grace Namatovu.

Number of Children: The program started with some songs Then the welcome message Then the introduction/purpose of the program Continuing with more songs Then a short message for the kids The kids then break off into teams praying to pray for themselves, for their relatives and friends, for other countries The program concluded with a leader praying for the kids, for the young generation The worship was inspiring but the location was not suitable for the children activities. Initially, the church board did not allow us to have the activities there. Later on they agreed to let us use the facility but they did not allow us to move the pews in order to have room for the children to easily worship you can see from the pictures. The kids are concerned for others they pray for their parents, their brothers and sisters, and their friends One 8-yr old kid said pray their parents keep arguing, quarreling, fighting every time her 6-month old sister is crying (she does this so much) She pray for her parents to love each other so that her parents can stop quarreling and fighting and to have a loving family. Another kid asked to pray for him because his parents are now divorced, and he prayed that he can get a job to pay for him and his sister's education Just a kid! In general, the kids learn to care for others more
