Here are some exciting testimonies from students who attended the ILSOM in Capetown!
Dearest Torontonians!
We so enjoyed the International School of Leaders at Cape Town! When we drove back the pastor who went there with me was just singing the praises of the team who ministered - what blessed him was the balance in the material presented and the manifest power of Holy Spirit!
Well, Sunday morning at our church we experienced for the first time in years a real presence of Holy Spirit and many people were touched - especially with deep weeping as they were set free from emotional pain. After the service there was just such an excitement amongst the folk about being in church - it seems as if the 'boredom' or duty mentality was broken off them!
The pastor phoned to tell me that all heaven broke loose in his church! He felt like there were balls of fire in his hands and when he touched people they went down in the power of Holy Spirit. There were also a lot of weeping in his church and he said to me it felt like he was born again for the second time! He is so excited and asked how he can get hold of a Soaking Kit and asked to borrow some of our DVD's that we have from Toronto and of Patricia King! He was not interested previously when I wanted to loan him some good stuff, but maybe it was not their season yet! He phoned me again today and asked that we meet tomorrow - he is just so hungry now to go deeper into the things of the Spirit!
All our love and appreciation to Duncan, Kate, Marguerite, Ed and Sarah for giving of themselves in serving His Body so unselfishly! May Father's blessings increase in their lives beyond their wildest expectations! Ho - ba-ba-loo-loo!!
In Father's amazing love, Pastor Herman Grobler

Dear Marguerite,
This is really about what happened over the whole School. I knew I was attending exhausted for a number of reasons. God has refreshed, renewed, in fact after the deliverance session I was feeling much lighter and able to soar. I thank God that the advertisement to be refreshed came true. Grateful for the teaching and the many activations to help get back on track again with the focus on becoming one with Him. Looking forward to more of giving away what God is doing.

My name is Emanuele. I’m 40, married and with two sons. I am now serving as assistant pastor in a church in Rome. I had the blessing to be born into a Christian family but of course I had to meet Jesus personally as my saviour. This happened when I was 13.
In the years that followed I found myself like one divided into two: a part of me loved the Lord but since I grew up in a very religious church I found myself becoming so worried about everything visible and exterior and so I became less and less focused on the real conditions of my heart. About 7 years ago a major turn happened in my life. I decided to really search for God with all of my heart and since that point my life has been continually changing. The real goal of my heart now is to know Jesus more every day and to grow in becoming like Him.
At the end of August 2006 I had the privilege of attending the school of ministry in Rome held by a Catch the Fire group from the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship. I already knew much of the teachings of TACF that had been so important in my spiritual life. However, to stay together with them and experience the simplicity, deepness of love and anointing of this group of brothers and sisters was really very important to me.
I was especially touched by the teaching on hearing the voice of the Lord. I already knew and experienced God speaking to me, but the fact that He wants to speak every day and every moment of my life really had a strong impact in my life.
After the school was over I started practicing every day this “tuning into” the voice of the Lord and you know what? God does really speak to me every day. I have been so blessed by His words of love and deep knowledge of the needs of my heart. I had also the blessing to receive from Him words of hope and blessing for my intimate family, friends and the church. As I shared with them I could see that it was really the Lord speaking by their reaction to those words.
One of the things the Lord is continually saying to me is, “Train yourself to hear My voice” And this is really what I want to do for all my life.
