weekend. She had a new appreciation for the Father’s love that He lavishes on us. Thank you team for your labors of love and for coming to Vienna, Virginia to be vessels of His love and grace. We pray that we will learn to continue to soak in His presence and delight in Him.” Rev. Vernon and Ruth Ann Dean, Pastors, Christian Assembly, Vienna, VA “We hosted a soaking weekend this year at The Father’s House Church in Oroville. Gordon and Kathy Harris were the facilitators. It has had a huge impact in the lives of our church. It brought a new revelation of the shear enjoyment of just lying in the ‘presence of our Lord.’ We would encourage all to host a conference at their churches. It will change your life!” Pastors Steve and Vicki Orsillo, The Father’s House, Oroville, CA. “I remember as a child having a snow globe with a little church inside the glass. Shaking the snow globe caused the flurry of snow to blur the sight of the church in the center. How accurately this describes our overly stimulated lifestyle! Even at church, we are so busy doing things for God rather than enjoying God Himself. The Soaking in His Presence Weekend helped bring us back to the center of life. It is here where we learned that it is more important to “be” than to “do”. This seminar is a “must” for every church. It’s another stream God has added to broaden our river. I am forever grateful to Marguerite Evans and John and Patricia Bootsma for leading us to this place of rest from which we will now live for the rest of our lives. I recommend any pastor who has not attended a soaking seminar yet, to bump it up on your “to do” list now. No wonder pastors are burning out left and right! You can’t afford to miss this valuable teaching. My only regret is that I did not learn this at the beginning of my ministry. It would have saved me many physical problems related to stress. If you want longevity both physically and spiritually, then learn how to soak yourself in God’s Presence at a Soaking Weekend. As you learn to be still, the flurry around you will settle and you will begin to see things clearly again.” Pastor Gary Washburn, Grace Tabernacle, Wildwood, FL Host a Soaking in His Presence Weekend For more information on upcoming events in your area, please visit www.ctfministries.com.
