Worship plays an enormously vital role at our Holy Spirit conferences. Holly Benner (far left), who is on staff at Redeemer Fellowship Church in Monroe, MI, is our primary Green Lake worship leader. Here she is joined by regulars Dr. John and Linda Piippo (on the right), and by recent second year grads from the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry, Hannah Ford and Anna Lutke (center).

Karen and Klein Gilhousen enjoying the fellowship and eagerly anticipating the beginning of an evening session. Klein and Karen are leaders and on the worship team in their home church and are Green Lake regulars. Karen serves faithfully as a member of the HSRM National Service Committee.

Jeff Edwards comes to Green Lake as a graduate of the Redeemer School of Ministry (in Monroe, MI). He rededicated his life to Christ on Thanksgiving Day 2007 while attending a "Warm Blessings" Thanksgiving Dinner for the needy provided by First Baptist Church of Chula Vista, CA. Jeff at that time was homeless with a number of addictions and other problems. He quickly jumped into fellowship, and Chula Vista FBC church scholarships made it possible for him to attend our 2008 conference. The rest is history.

Clay is currently the pastor at La Jolla Christian Fellowship (lajollacf.org) in La Jolla, CA and also the national Chair of Holy Spirit Renewal Ministries. Clay and Cheri started ministry in La Jolla on July 15; their new church is supportive of Clay's HSRM role and has freed him to travel up to 25 percent of the time. Hannah Ford has recently joined the staff at La Jolla as part-time worship leader and liaison/outreach to young adults. God is on the move!

Dr. John and Linda Piippo (picture pending) went in August to minister in Sioux Fall, SD. There were tremendous spiritual breakthroughs in the personal lives of many and in the corporate church life of the host church, First Baptist Church of Sioux Falls. Following is a report from Teri Nyberg, HSRM Executive Committee member and member at FBC Sioux Falls:

In August of 2009 First Baptist Church of Sioux Falls, S. Dakota was blessed to have Dr. John and Linda Piippo minister for a "Prayer and Worship Weekend." John is the senior pastor of Redeemer Fellowship Church in Monroe, Michigan and his wife, Linda is a classically trained pianist and voice teacher. They both used their gifts of teaching scripture and music to help draw us closer to the Lord throughout the weekend.

In addition to members of Sioux Falls First Baptist, several pastors and friends from our community attended the event. All were deeply touched by the teaching and worship that made us hunger for more of God's Presence. John encouraged us to "spend much time alone with God, listening for His voice, and to keep a written record of what He says." Many of our friends are still saying, "I'm doing it"! Many came to believe that they too could hear the voice of the Lord through scripture, meditating, prayer, and silence.

John and Linda were also available to minister to people one on one. They encourage dso many of our friends. The Piippo's enriched our church and community. We were so blessed to have God use them here and we consider them great friends in the Lord. -- Sioux Falls, South Dakota -First Baptist Prayer Ministry
