Jeff

Good morning brother. Above all my friend, I want you to know that my heart burns for God. I want to share with you something about what God has done since the GB Retreat. For sure God spoke to all of us and especially those of us who were in the front playing and ministering. We were asking God, “What is this Father?” The level of anointing that God brought and used through us in the band was incredible. We are excited and anxious for God to take us higher…each time a little higher…closer to our Father. I don’t know where God is going to take us, but we are ready and willing to die for Him so that this Benjamin Generation can be born. Samuel has been ministering in our lives about this. Dying to everything and putting the purpose and promises of God in front of us. Letting God have control of our lives. Man, may God bless you. I am praying for you and asking that God give you more thirst for Him so that we can FRY THE DEVIL’S BRAIN!!!!

Blessed Pr Jeff,

My name is Valeria and I was at the GB Retreat 2003 in Curitiba (the caravan from Vinhedo, San Paulo). There I had the privilege to learn of the Benjamin Generation and principally to know that I am part of it. Those days were tremendous, seeing God operating, transforming lives. It was marvelous to be able to see God, daily pouring out His anointing. Our church community here in Vinhedo has been completely restored. The older generation is being restored and is praying for the youth and also teaching us of their experiences and revealing the dreams that God has given them. And we know that we are going to work and see their dreams become a reality. We have also had a non-ending spiritual battle. Last week when I went back to college, it was horrible. It was like a huge oppression, mostly because I had determined to start a prayer group. Satan has tried to destroy my dream. But, he can only delay it for a few days or try to make me weaker, but he cannot end it. He has tried to knock me down, but our Lord Jesus Christ has won this battle. Today I finished reading the Benjamin Generation Book and I could feel the Lord operating tremendously in my life, showing me things, once again, that He has for me and encouraging me that if necessary to die for Him.

God bless you.

We are anxiously waiting for you here in Vinhedo.

Hi Jeff!

How are you? I hope that everything is in a holy peace. My name is Danilo and I have been dating for six years. My girlfriend and I participated in the camp in Curitiba and after you ministered, we decided to enter into the vision of GB (no kissing). It has been difficult, but we have resolved to pay the price.

May God bless you.

Hi!

I want to congratulate you on your articles, they are great. I was recently asked to preach in the adolescents service at my church (I am the secretary for the adolescents ministry and am 15 years old). When I read your article, “Is your light shining?”, I thought that this is what I need to preach. I studied you article and the sermon was a huge success. Everyone liked it and congratulated me. I was really happy. It was a blessing. I ask that God bless you more and more every day. And that you continue writing these marvelous articles.

Hi Jeff!

It’s Marcos. By name, you probably won’t remember me. I was the reporter at the airport. Hope all is well there and that you had a good trip. Man, the youth here are nuts for God. They are doing things that I never thought possible that they could do. I hope that they are sharing all of this with you. Jeff, I work in a hospital here in Curitiba and on Friday, one day before the Retreat, I was passing through the rooms and ran into a young man who is HIV. His name is Nelson and he is 31 years old. God touched my heart to speak with him, but I was afraid. I had never been faced with a situation equal to this. I went to speak with the nurses responsible for him and they told me that he wouldn’t make it through the day because he didn’t want to live anymore. I asked God to give me wisdom to speak with him. God gave me courage, so I grabbed a Bible, to give him as a present, and went. Jeff, it was a huge blessing. He received me well and I spoke to him about the Power, Love and Salvation of our Lord. He allowed me to pray with him and I prayed that if God healed him that it would be for the honor and glory of God. And that he would leave there testifying about the miracle of God and even if it didn’t happen, that God would still be lifted up. My greatest joy was that when I arrived on the following Thursday, his clinical state was really good. Amen! God is wonderful. Through this experience, I was able to witness to the head nurse of the hospital.

Jeff, I had been speaking to God for many days, with many questions, yet was not able to hear His voice. But now, I am certain about what my ministry is. There is something special that God is doing in my life. I have a lot of dreams and they have to do with a project that was born in my heart two years ago. Now, reading your book, God has awakened them again. I am praying and ask that you pray for God to confirm this. The dream is to create a non-Governmental Organization to work with adolescents and college age kids, giving them spiritual knowledge and also professional. It would be an Institute. We would have them pass through an encounter experience and direct them towards the Institute, offering them various types of courses: computer, music, film, theater, graphics, etc. Along with this, they would have spiritual accompaniment and leadership training. With this vision that God has given you, I have begun to dream again. Jeff, I would like to know at you think of this idea. Your opinion will be well received.

My suggestion for the name: (IGB) INSTITUTO GERACÃO BENJAMIM (Benjamin Generation Institute)

A huge hug. I have a huge admiration for your work and you as a person.

Hello my Pastor GB

Dude, it’s crazy here in Vinhedo. We’ve got a group here who is addicted to the presence of God. Just give them an opportunity and it’s not long before they are drinking in His presence. Just to give you an idea, Jonathan is climbing out and up on top of my car when we pas places full of people and yelling about our Jesus. Here we are preaching to group of guys at a park and Saturday, we were there until 2:30am with them while they were all drinking and smoking. We will continue going back there because we have found their nest and we are going to smash the head of that idiot called the devil. At the end of that night we ended up praying with them. It was nuts…

The vision of GB is starting to impact a church in another city close to here (Cristo Vive de Valinhos…

May the holiness of God boil in your veins…

Dear Pr Jeff,

I am certain that because of how much I talk, you have not forgotten me. You probably know who I am (the girl with the bandana on her head). We already miss you. The result of this was them calling you collect. You can send the bill to them. Ha-ha. I want you to know that you are very loved here. We don’t speak of anything else. You have no idea what God did through your life here. On the day that we went to IEQ, I heard the Holy Spirit speak through your life. God touched me deeply on the public bus, so I went to the middle of the bus and asked for a minute of everyone’s attention. I started by telling them that I wasn’t there to sell them anything or beg for money but, to tell them about someone who cared about them. It was tremendous. I know that God is going to continue doing a lot more. Our Sunday service, yesterday, was not the same. Pr Odilon preached about dry bones, about the spiritually dead, the youth prophesied about the church and we witnessed a move of God. The desire of my heart is that the whole church receive what we youth have received and that we all could really learn to know our Father.

I will be sending more news.

See you later…

Grace and peace Pr. Jeff!!!

I am still feeling the impact of what happened during this holiday (GB Retreat, Curitiba 2003). I hope that what I am feeling doesn’t stop, but keeps on growing. I talked with a brother from another denomination and he thought that the vision was awesome and wants to know more. He even wants to read your book. I am going to pass it along to him. This is only the beginning of what is going to happen at the GB Shalon /Curitiba services. Jeff, I want you to know that I have been searching to find what is the call that God has for my life, and this camp, made my heart desire to more and more know the heart of the Father. A couple of weeks before the retreat, my heart felt a lot of love for lost souls and for the kingdom of God. I believe that this is the start of something big that God wants to do. May the anointing of God each day fill your life more! You were a blessing to my life…

God bless and keep you.

Hey there Jeff. Everything beautiful? Did you arrive home well? I guess I’m kind of brown nosing a bit early huh? Tell Lisa “Happy Birthday” for me. Dude, let me tell you something. If God sent you to Curitiba to radically change the life of only one person, then you can be doubly happy because my life and the life of Andressa will never , never be the same. Dude, I am way happy to know that God is starting to make thing happen in my life. I a just starting to understand what God has for me and for Andressa. I already really miss you man. You really are nuts. We are firm in our decision to have a benjamite relationship (pure). Be praying for this when you think of it. Don’t forget me, your friend (as you truly are). I am waiting for your reply.

A big hug,

Hey there Jeff! Beautiful?

I am writing to tell you a little bit about what God said and did with me at the GB Retreat Shalon. Man, God changed me during those days, confirming my calling and putting more wood in the fire that is already burning in me to do His work. He marked my relationship with my girlfriend with holiness and purity. My life and the life of my “Ferrari” will never be the same. If God has already touched us now, I can’t even imagine…It was excellent because now I am beginning to see what God has for me. And if before, I was already living for him, it’s even more now, with more intensity and holiness. It is really good to know that the Father has a commitment with you and if you give yourself totally to Him and begin to “shoot the balls” that he gives you, you can rest knowing that the goal that was made was His and for His honor. He only needs our arms and legs and you being willing to be used. Man, you can’t imagine what God is going to do through your life. Generation Benjamin, a generation that is rising up to impact this planet!!!!!!!(…)

Pr Jeff,

Here in Curitiba, God is going wild with the youth. He is raising up a courageous and ready to be used in His presence generation. The service that before had 30 college and career age people now has 150 in each meeting. I had the privelege to minister the same anointing that I received when you were here at our church in Arroio dos Ratos/RS. God poured out on the lives of the youth that were there. The Lord gave me a vision: He showed me first, part of a balance and on top of it had a glass vase with a lot of colored rocks in it, it had all of the colors and was very beautiful. I told God that I didn’t know what it was, then I prayed and asked Him to give me an interpretation. The other day during the service, the Lord showed me the other part of the balance and on it had what seemed like a mountain of yellowish purple and each moment, more was added to it, more and more, almost like a rain, only it was yellowish purple. God gave me the following interpretation: The balance signifies the hands of God, the rocks are us, His youth and the purple is the anointing that He is pouring out on us. God told me that the more of us that we put into His hands, the more anointing that he is going to pour out on our lives. It was wonderful for I clearly heard the voice of God speaking to me. The youth of Arroio dos Ratos were tremendously blessed for I was able to minister that which I had received. I know that God is going to do a whole lot more for the anointing is “5Xs more.” In relation to the site, I am always visiting it. It is the greatest.

A huge hug

Peace Pr. Jeff!

Thank you for the Generation Benjamin outline. I believe that it is going to be a blessing for my life. It was exactly a few months ago that I was meditating about what is my identity. I came to the conclusion through GB that I should be RADICAL: holy, anointed with the Word of God, courageous, no fearing what is going to happen with me because the Lord has made me strong. Pr Jeff, I want to go deeper and know more about GB, not doubting that is the vision of God, but, I don’t just want to be a part of the Benjamin Generation, I want to be a Benjamite.

A big hug,

Sueli Sutil

Hey Jeff, everything beautiful there??

Here, everything is good. Like I said, things here have begun to change. The youth meetings that were only around 30 now have on average 150 and the presence of GOD is real in the meetings. A little while ago, we had an al night prayer meeting that started at midnight and went until 6:00am. We had around 200 youth present and it was pure fire!! For this have always thanked GOD for your lives and asking Him that we could possibly be used to take this message to many other people…This is what I think. I want to ask you a favor: Is there some way that you can send me some tapes of your GBTV program? I watch the tape that you bought and really like the clips and the messages. For now, that is all. Give a hug to Daniel and Donnie. Oh, one more thing, we now also have a site. It is isn’t really good yet, but it son will be better If you want to see it, take a look at: www.gbshalon.hpg.com.br .

Take care.
