Last Sunday in Johannesburg
Hello once again beloved readers. We wanted to post one last update before we travel home tomorrow evening. This has truly been a blessed trip, from the beginning the Lord showed us favor no matter the circumstances. It is now sad to be leaving but we know that the Lord made rich deposits in our brothers and sisters here and in us as well.
This morning was our last Sunday service and the presence of the Holy Spirit was strong, the word was strong, and the ministry went right to the hearts of the people. What was supposed to be a 2 hour service lasted just over 4 hours but there was no one who wanted to leave. We wanted to linger in the presence of the Lord.
After the service today we took Bishop Chetachukwu and his family out to McDonald's because that is where the kids wanted to go when we asked them what their
favorite place to go was. As it turned out is was Famous' birthday I think he said he turned 13 today. We celebrated it with ice cream all around.
We hope you have enjoyed our brief updates as the Lord has allowed us to post them. Please comeback and read the full recap hopefully wo be posted in the next week or so.Again thank you so much for you continued support of Flame of Fire Ministries, and the work of the Lord. It is because of your faithful support and continued, tireless prayers that we are able to fulfill the call taking the flame to the nations.

Update from Johannesburg
Hi everyone. It is now day 10 of our journey in South Africa. The Lord is doing some amazing things here and I wish I could share all of them with you. It am always amazed at how loving our God is. His desires are truly toward His people.
Yesterday we had an awesome time with the Lord. His presence lingered and many soaked in His presence for a long time. There was one man that after our prayer time was over went into the prayer yard and continued to seek the face of the Lord. I am sure God deposited a rich blessing in him for his faithfulness and devotion. Then the Lord arraigned a divine appointment
for a man also name Henry. We were in the Bishop Chetachukwu's office and one of his former congregation members came to visit. During that visit he asked the Bishop if we might pray for him (he did this in their native language and we did not understand the request). At that very moment the Lord drew Pastor Henry back inside the office and started to share with Him about His journey to find the deep places of the Lord. As Pastor Henry spoke to Henry the Lord reveileved many wonderful things about His will for the young man's life, confirming what the Lord has already spoken to him. This young man was burning with the love of the Lord and the rest of the afternoon he was asking questions and really trying to hear all that the Lord had for him.
Yes our God is an awesome God and He reigns on heaven and earth. There are many other stories to the Glory of God. Thank you all for your prayers and support. They have been a vital part of walking with the Lord to achieve His purporses. I encourage you to continue to seek the Lord with all of your heart.
As you read this may the love of the Lord fill you. May your be blessed becuase of your support of this work throught your prayer and finacial assistance. May the Lord return to you all that has been stollen from you by the enemy and may His grace shine upon you all the days of your life.

Greeting From Johannesburg

Beloved readers,I want to update you on the journey the Lord has us on in Johannesburg South Africa. It has been a wonderful first week with the Lord. Starting with His favor with our flight arraignments. And after 23 hours of travel we finally arrived in South Africa. We were welcomed very warmly by Bishop Chetachukwu (Che-ta-shuk-woo) and two of his members at his church. They drove us to our guest house which only about a block from the church.

This weekend the Lord had us minister to the congregation during a special Saturday night service and Sunday morning service.We then were invited to the Bishop's very loving family for an African dinner that night. His wife Mary and 4 of his children are with him and he is waiting to bring the oldest boy from Nigeria to live with him but has been unable to do so because of finances. Monday we took a tour of the city and learned a lot about the cities history and why it is in the condition it is. In a few weeks we will be posting a video for all of you to view to share more about our travel. The Lord's heart really burns for these people. He desires to love them and show them His care and blessings.
Beloved the atmosphere is going to change over this city and our trip is just part of that beginning. The Lord is showing us how to be His sons, and at the same time having us share how to be His Bride. It is only by your loving support in prayer and financially that this precious work of the Lord is coming to pass. It is amazing to me the things the Lord has spoke to this man's heart. A fire burns with in him for the Love of the Lord. A fire that will be stirred up the the wind of the Holy Spirit and begin to take back that which the enemy has stolen.

The next few days we will be teaching more on the heart of worship and intercession with the congregation for the Glory of the Lord. So please join us in prayer and thanksgiving because our God is good, and that His perfect will is being accomplished. I pray that your heart is beginning to burn for the work of the Lord as you read this account of our trip. Remember this is what your prayers, fasting and giving has sown.
Talk to you soon, an update is coming forth shortyl,
Brad Buscher
