Whew! At last a rest day! And a hotel that I could log on.
What a trip. I'll begin at the beginning.
October 24-29
Prayer Mountain Prayer Meeting in Branson.
I'll write to you on the mailing list about the two assignments God gave us in prayer. One of them was for the Church. I didn't know what to call it. Praying for an outpouring, an awakening, a revival. Finally, it seemed right to pray for the Glory of God to be manifested in, through, and upon the Glorious Church. Such unity in prayer.

4:30am took shuttle from hotel to airport.
The driver just opened up as to how he'd been diagnosed with cancer.
He accepted the Lord and allowed us to pray his for healing. What a start!
November 1-3
Arrived in Brussels and drove about 1 and 1/2 hours to North of Belgium on North Sea for National Full Gospel Business Men's Convention.
Rick VanEste, leader, led in prayer as we drove. Such a man of God. (Pastor John Rood of Brussels says Rick is a man like the Master.) It was supernatural prayer. We'd just arrived from an overseas flight, but the prayer meeting in the car was wonderful. Rick's heart for the meeting was contagious. It turned out to be one of the best attended conventions in decades. Such unity. Such glory. The other speaker was Ian McCormack, or it might be MacCormack. Do a search on the internet and hear this man's amazing miraculous story. He was stung several times by box jellyfish. Died. Met the Lord and went to Heaven. Came back. He is very spiritual. We had good fellowship in the meetings. I preached on the Glory. Read from the new book of the children at Azusa Street and their accounts of what they saw. It is entitled THEY TOLD ME THEIR STORIES by Tommy Welchel. You can get this book on line from us. The last meeting I taught on the Authority of the Believer. Amazing meetings. The Glory of God. Miracle healings.
A young woman from Poland attending a business conference with her husband in the same conference center came into the meetings and we had the joy of leading her to the Lord. She brought her husband later and he renewed his relationship with the Lord.

Pastors John and Lilianne Rood's Eternal Word Christian Center.
This great church in the capital of the EU is so diversified. People from many countries. And to the meetings came Pastors Paul and Karen Brady from Northern Ireland and some beloved pastors from the Netherlands. We had the glory. Singing ITS BEGINNING TO RAIN, Peter could well have preached these are not drunken as you suppose. But like Keith Moore's song, they are very very drunk on the Holy Ghost!
Oh! The Joy of the Lord is our strength!!!

Train to Paris. We thought we packed light!!! But having to handle our luggage, it seemed we did not. What a trooper Betty King is. She and Shelli worked like dock hands.
Met by a lovely lady from the Philippines. The Lord uses her in a powerful way here in Paris as well as in the Philippines and other parts of the world. She is indeed and endtime handmaiden--greatly used in the unity now manifest in France.
In Paris we moved back and forth between The Lutheran Church of Billettes, Pastor Alain Joly and The Good Shepherd Church of Pastor Bong Bugarin (a wonderful Pentecostal Word church).
I spoke first at Vespers in the Billettes Church. They assigned me to speak on the weekly lesson. Jesus and Zaccheus. I thought, I've never spoken on Zaccheus. I remember him from childhood Sunday School stories and songs. Zaccheus was a wee little man; a wee little man was he. He climbed up in a Sycamore Tree for the Lord He wanted to see. Etc.
They assigned me 20 minutes to speak. But, oh, the Lord!! He gave me a short message. And He powerfully anointed it when I spoke.
The message was: There are two golden hooks upon which all world history hangs: The First Coming of the Lord, and the Second Coming of the Lord. All other events pale in the light of these two events. Zaccheus was here at the first event. He heard the Lord was coming his way. He positioned himself to be in the right place at the right
time. Salvation came to his house that day. We are living just before the second great event. We must position ourselves for His soon coming.
The meetings at the Lutheran church after that were Bible studies on The Jews, The Nations, and The Church. With emphasis on Israel.
The meetings at Brother Bong's church were on the Glory of the Lord. The Glory of God was manifested. The glory cloud seen. Miracle healings. Supernatural new births. A business man from the Philippines came to the meeting invited by a business associate. He had not been in such a church or such a meeting. Three times he fell under the power of God without anyone laying hands on him. He accepted the Lord.He said that the real reason he came to Paris was that meeting. He also said he was going to take this back to his family.
The Lord so uses Betty and Shelli to speak, give testimony, sing, minister. And what a strength they are to me. Thank you, Lord.

The Lutheran Bishop of Paris, Marie-France Robert, received us in her office at the seat of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of France. How blessed we were by this lovely sister in the Lord. I felt an immediate affinity with her. She is a woman of prayer. She wanted to hear my testimony and message. Then she gave hers. She felt the call of God as a child. As a young woman she went to Madagascar as a missionary. Her family was not supportive and it was hard. But an older missionary gave her a verse from the Bible to stand on. And gave her a special way of looking at that verse. Her beautiful blue eyes water today as she speaks about the keeping power of the word of God.
I said to her and to Pastor Joly what I have observed. And what I believe.
The leadership of the Lutheran church I have seen in Paris is very spiritual. (She told me they pray together "deeply".) I believe it is for this special time.
There is only one body. And I have seen that body everywhere moving in unity.
People from the Lutheran church visited the Jesus the Good Shepherd services.
Pastor Bong and his people visited the teaching at the Lutheran church.
Much unity was displayed at FGBMFI and at the Roods' church.
Everywhere we have seen unity.
And everywhere we have seen a great manifestation of God.
Did not the Lord tell us this in His prayer of John 17.
I have been coming to Europe for more than 25 years. I have never witnessed what I am witnessing now. Unity. Light.
At the last session at the Lutheran church, Paster Joly stood and speaking in English, which he had not spoken to me in before, invited me back next year. Pastor Bong and the Philippine lady I spoke of want to host a conference here next year. I want to come back, because I want to witness what will happen in the next year.
We are here in Nice for a little rest before we begin services with Pastor Marie-Helene, our dear longtime friend. She has started a new work here. We will enjoy the blessing of the Lord.
Thank God, who always gives us the Victory!!!
Love in Him,
Billye Brim
