Following is a report on my (Bob's) travels for the month of February:

February 15, Midwest Minister's Fellowship, Kansas City:

Sunday night: Good Lord's Day to you, and happy mid-February greetings to you all! It's good to be back in touch after having set aside these past weeks for prayer. I had a good and very necessary prayer retreat, and now feel that I'm able to face a new year. Thanks for standing with us!

My first ministry for 2010 is this coming Monday, I'm speaking at a pastors and leaders gathering here in Kansas City called the "Midwest Minister's Fellowship." This will be my fifth time to share with these leaders since we've moved to KC, and I'm looking forward to the privilege again of sharing my heart with these excellent leaders. The meeting starts at 9:30 a.m.., I'll probably be given the podium around 10:30-ish. Please agree with me for a powerful anointing upon the word of the Lord.

Monday 4:00 p.m.: Thanks for your prayers, the Lord helped me today. The message was centered on the cross, ending with some of the themes from my message, it's not business it's personal. There seemed to be good receptivity to the word.

On Wednesday I depart for Bogota, Colombia. I'm speaking once daily, Thurs through Sun. To get there in time for the Thursday evening meeting, I need to arrive Wednesday night. Then the return flight is on Monday, getting home Monday night. The event is a worship conference, sponsored by a church that I'm visiting for the first time. Thank you for your help in prayer!

Feb. 18-21, Int'l Worship Summit, Bogota, Columbia:

Wednesday morning: Just a quick reminder, I'm flying to Bogota this morning. Bogota is in the same time zone as USA Eastern, so I'm scheduled to arrive around 10 p.m. Eastern. Thanks for your prayers today for a good, fruitful, uneventful trip. And for much grace upon the worship conference. My first session will be sometime on Thursday, my plan is to speak on envy, thanks for praying!

Thursday 5:30 p.m.: I am being picked up shortly for tonight's meeting. Yesterday's travel was all very smooth, we arrived on time into Bogota. I'm enjoying the springlike temperatures here, which we won't see in Kansas City for a couple months yet. I'm lodged in a pleasant hotel, and had a nice day to myself today, to pray and prepare. I enjoyed a fruit they had for me in my room which I've never had before. My host didn't know the English word for it, so I don't know what it is. It looks like an orange-colored apple on the outside; inside is a seedy fruit that you don't chew, you just swallow it down. Might not be a hit with folks who have texture sensitivities. A hit with me though.

Thursday midnight: Excellent launch tonight. The worship time was marvelous, and the anointing on the word was wonderful. A great night. Thanks for your prayers. It's too late to write more, we're being collected early in the morning.

Friday 5:00 p.m.: We had another good session this morning. Colombians are such delightful people to minister to, they're so responsive and hungry and eager for more of the Lord. After the teaching on flowing in the river of God, we spent some time doing just that -- followed by a time of prayer over the musicians and worship leaders present (they filled the altar). We have a worship team here from Lima, Peru, a couple folks from San Salvador, as well as quite a few churches in Bogota represented. The key feature today is 12 hours of non-stop worship, from noon to midnight. Jason Upton is taking the 8 pm to midnight shift tonight, along with the 3 band members he brought with him. He is also teaching tomorrow and then taking tomorrow night's meeting as well. Then from here he takes his band to Argentina.

So Saturday morning I teach at 10 a.m., Jason at 11 a.m. (Eastern) Thanks for your prayers!

Saturday 3:00 p.m.: Okay, I found out the name of the fruit here that I like, "sweet passion fruit." Sweet granadilla. Today is overcast, we've had a bit of rain, but even so it feels so nice to me, coming from Missouri's winter, to a place where the flowers are brilliant and blazing. This morning's session was powerful, the Lord chose to honor it with a strong anointing. Then Jason Upton shared afterwards, and his message fit in real well. He is truly an artist and poet, very right-brained, and I just enjoyed him to the full. A real character.

I have a brief break now in my hotel room, then return at 6 pm for this evening's service, in which Jason and his band will minister. I do not speak again until Sunday, 10 a.m. service.

Sunday 6:00 p.m.: Had a wonderful service this morning with the saints here in Bogota. I had prepared a message on Saturday, but this morning the Spirit seemed to redirect my heart, so I preached on Luke 18, get justice for me from my adversary. The Spirit of the Lord came upon me in a clear way during the message, so the sweetest part of it for me was the way in which He renewed that message to my heart under the anointing. I got blessed, even if no one else did.

Afterwards, they said we're going up the mountain for lunch. We wound our way around this and that, at one point getting an impressive overlook of the city, until we came to a highlands area where the restaurant was. You go to the ordering station, order and pick up your large trays of food, and then carry the trays to wherever your party is sitting, whether outdoors or under the pavilion area. The trays are filled with typical Colombian food -- chicken, pork, beef, plantain, yuca (my first time ever), a certain kind of corn on the cob native to this area, small potatoes found only here, blood sausage, etc etc. Avocado spread and hot sauce on the side. No plates or utensils, you just reach in, grab, and chow down. Everybody is sharing everything between trays. It was a fun cultural experience! It was warm and sunny today, which added to the specialness of the moment.

Feb. 26, Seekers of His Heart Worship Conference, Eagle's Nest Worship Center, South Holland, IL:

Friday: Good morning! I'm heading out early this morning for Chicago, in order to get to South Holland, MI for a 1:00 p.m. workshop today. I spoke at this worship conference last year, so this will be my second time at this event. They've requested my Business/Personal message. Then I will be collected at 3:30 p.m. today by John Bailey, so that I might speak tonight at The Furnace in Chicago (Marcus Meier will be leading worship). I rarely schedule two speaking slots like this in one day, but am going for it since I'll have a day of vocal rest on Saturday. Thank you for your prayer support today as I speak twice -- 1:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.

We just received our sample copies of the Danish translation of Power of the Blood -- pray for that translation to be a blessing in Denmark!

On a different note, our webmaster is working on uploading some excerpts to YouTube from the Secrets of the Secret Place video course. Here's a link so you can see the kind of thing he's working on, except that in this version the video quality is not good enough -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkKvOFUqNDg
Here's one with better video quality, but it has other problems: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8tw7NKQGrE
Please join us in prayer over this DVD course. There's been good interest in the DVDs -- may the Lord use this course mightily to strengthen His church.

Feb. 26, The Prayer Furnace, Chicago:

Saturday morning: I'm grateful to send good reports on yesterday. The Lord blessed our workshop in S. Holland, it was a meaningful time, excellent response from the saints. At the pastor's request, I spoke on "it's not business it's personal." Then last night at the Prayer Furnace in inner city, Chicago, I spoke on Heb. 12, the chastening of the Lord. The room was full (about 120, but it was a ground level, not upper room, smile), again a good response from the saints. 2-3 folks came up to me afterwards asking excellent questions on the message. I'm pondering the idea of writing on the chastening of the Lord, and it's really helpful to me when I can hear the kinds of questions the teaching is surfacing in people.

Now I'm at O'Hare, about to get on my 12:30 flight to Dallas. Tomorrow morning I'm speaking at Victory Church in Parker, TX. My friends, Paul & Trina Freeman, pastor the work there. Paul is partnering with me to turn my Secrets curriculum into a 3-credit course that will be offered through Beacon University (Ron Cottle's distance learning school). It'll be great to be with them again.

Feb. 28, Victory Church, Parker, TX:

Sunday 8:00 p.m.: I labored harder than usual over the Sunday morning message. I should know by now -- when that happens, it often means that there will be something spontaneous in the service that I am to key in on. Sure enough. One of the songs in the worship service became the theme of the message. It seemed to be a word in season for the family at Victory Church. The key verse was Heb. 6:12, "do not become sluggish..." A good exhortation for all of us to hear. Over and over.
