\"\"<\/a>Dear PTH Friends,<\/p>\n

It is hard to believe it has been a month since the Anchorage Point To Hope Holy Spirit Encounter Conference. It was great to see old and new PTH \u2018buddies.\u2019 As you can see pictured above, many of the PTH team were able to attend. However, we sure missed the PointToHopers and other buddies who were not able to attend \u2026 but we sure experienced your prayer coverage. Thank you!<\/p>\n

PTH also had its first \u201cCoffee House Gathering\u201d on May 12th. It was an informal afternoon gathering with worship and Nancy shared a message titled \u201cPreparing for Pentecost.\u201d We reserved a gathering room at 12\u2022100 Coffee & Communitas (Anchorage). Watch the PTH website event calendar for the next gathering (July 21, 2018\/Saturday).<\/p>\n

Nancy and I leave for Africa in the wee hours Saturday, May 26th. We will be back in Alaska July 11th. As I write this, I cannot tell you the exact countries we will be covering, but I think there are approximately 20, give or take a few. I can\u2019t tell you because I don\u2019t know myself :). Still, we so covet your prayers.<\/p>\n

Recently I heard of two different testimonies of individuals who were being pursued by \u2018enemies\u2019 with the indent of killing them. They later found out the reason they were not killed was because the enemy could see angels of protection surrounding them.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.\u201d (Ps. 91:11\/NIV) Thank you in advance for your prayer coverage; it is powerful and effective!<\/p>\n

Song of Solomon 2:11 \u201cSee! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We are in a new season, can you sense it?! April 4, 2018, Nancy and I went to Mt. Tabor in Israel; the place of transfiguration. I mentioned it briefly in a recent PTH report (\u201cYou & Working for Homeland Security). Well, the Lord did give Nancy a transfiguration anointing to impart to others. We have been hearing testimonies from some who were able to attend the Anchorage conference and receive this \u2018transfiguration impartation.\u2019 Thus, being transfigured means walking in a new place. This also means walking in an unfamiliar place \u2026 and, it is a process. Kind of like the time lapse between seasons: the old is gone but the new has not yet arrived. The snow has melted but the new buds are still hidden. Then, all of a sudden, the new \u2018green\u2019 appears! And growth comes quickly! And, might I also say, growth is not necessarily easy! So if you are one who feels like you are being pushed through a birth canal \u2026. be like a leaf: \u201chang in there\u201d; catch the Son and the Wind of the Holy Spirit! Increased spiritual growth equates to \u2018less flesh.\u2019 Thus, I guess we could say, \u201cAh, it hurts so good!\u201d<\/p>\n

Again, thank you for your prayer coverage. If we are able to post specific countries we are going to, we will. Otherwise if may have to be after the fact. I have heard of some intercessors who use a map for a prayer strategy and \u2018travel\u2019 with us. Go before us, with us, and behind us with your prayers!<\/p>\n

July 21: 12\u2022100 Coffee & Communitas (Anchorage): Worship & Message from Nancy
\nJuly 25-Sept. 3: Georgia \/ South Carolina PTH ministry
\nSept. 27-29: Ketchikan, AK PTH Holy Spirit Encounter conference
\nOct. 25-27: Waterford, OH PTH Holy Spirit Encounter conference<\/p>\n

Blessings to all! You are so valued, significant, and appreciated. Makes me think of Anna in the Bible. I wonder if she ever realized the power of her prayers. She was a widow – alone; she never left the temple, but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying. (Luke 2:37) Here is the good news to us (in a round about way): We can\u2019t leave the temple – His temple is within us!<\/p>\n

Thank you!<\/p>\n

Sincerely,
\nSarah Tarter
\nPTH Prayer Facilitator<\/p>\n
