Heaven on Earth 2008
Thursday night, a Catholic priest from Holland stood up and prayed a prayer of repentance for the Catholic Church for all the ways they had sinned and contributed to division within the body of Christ! Definitely one of the most powerful moments in the conference. These white blocks have different denominations written on them and people came up and placed them at the foot of the cross...asking God for forgiveness for making denominational differences a divisive thing when the Father wants His children to be united in Jesus!
WOW! I'm not sure where to begin to try to encapsulate our four days in Rotterdam, Holland with between 6 and 8 thousand other people, worshiping the Lord! Messages from speakers were simple but extremely powerful, worship was like nothing I've ever experienced...even though I was surrounded by thousands, I felt at times like it was just me and the Lord

I want to tell you that I attended the conference for four days and every day God touched me in a powerful way.
I experienced the presence of God for the first time and the freedom I felt was fantastic! On the first night that Heidi Baker spoke, I was sitting in the middle of the auditorium and, with my eyes closed, I 'saw' all these fiery darts heading my way. I was suddenly hit by them, fell off my chair and started laughing! I laughed the whole night!
The following day Winnie and Georgian Banoff prayed for me. I had a wonderful experience of being with Jesus. The following evening I sat in the front and Heidi was saying that God would call many of us into the mission fields and we needed to pray for God's heart for the nations. I, however, already knew that God had called me not only to the Netherlands, but to Germany and Indonesia as well, but I had never felt so powerfully compelled to serve these nations as I did on this Monday night. I sat and cried the whole night!
Mattheus came and laid his hand on me whilst I was sitting on the ground, but that made me cry even more. The following day Heidi spoke at one of our youth gatherings and once again I was overcome by God's compassion for these three countries. Heidi laid hands on me and as she prayed, the passion I felt for Jesus and people burnt even stronger inside of me.
Thank you for stepping out for Jesus and your beliefs, and thank you for just being you. May God bless you!

I would like to give a brief report of our experiences at the conference. I come out of a traditional church and have grown up with God. I thought I knew Him but during the conference I felt His presence for the first time and was deeply touched by the Holy Spirit. I experienced how it feels to abandon myself to God!I have always had difficulty surrendering to God but during the conference I felt the joy of doing so completely. I saw, did and heard so many new things.My friend, who accompanied me to the conference, said she had never seen me laugh or cry so much in four days. It was was wonderful. I thank God for the truly special experiences I had with Him during those four days. It has been a good beginning to the rest of my life.My friend has returned to her previous passion for God and is again on fire for Him. For this I am so thankful, both to God and to yourselves. We know God is going to do great things and are looking forward to the new things He will be doing in our lives.

We live in Belgium and last week attended the Heaven on Earth Conference. We are writing to tell you what a wonderful and encouraging time we all had.My husband has been reading your book 'Dare to Dream' and I am reading it at the moment. What we have both read has been a revelation and really touched our hearts.Daily we feel the increasing need to live our lives as God wants us to live them. Not our way but His! With 'head' knowledge we have wanted to do this for a long time, but after the conference it has now become 'heart' knowledge, and how grateful we are!We also have such an urge to tell our friends and family about Jesus, not just because we are Christians, but because we know it is the right thing to do.

As a child I had always had a strong bond with God which diminished as I entered my teens and started taking drugs. I lived in a dark world with no friends and no ambition, and my days were spent playing video games and smoking one marijuana cigarette after the other.After 7 years of this pointless life style, my parents invited me to the Heaven on Earth Conference. I accepted but planned to waste my time there with a friend who was also attending.What I hadn't counted on was God answering my parents heart felt prayers and it was whilst Heidi Baker was speaking one evening that I became almost overwhelmed by the Presence of God. I was so shaken

Thank you so much for organising the Heaven on Earth Conference.For us it was great, but for our children it was truly outstanding!We have two sons aged 9 and 11 and to them this conference was the 'best days' of this year! On Monday night our oldest son was truly drunk in the Spirit and virtually rolled out of the children's meeting and we were so happy to see him experience God in this way.Our son has been released from the stress he normally has a problem with and has fallen completely in love with Jesus. He now longs to experience him in a much deeper way.We shall keep on praying for you all and holding you in our hearts.

We attended the Heaven on Earth Conference in May and our children of 4,6 and 8 years old had a truly amazing time! They prayed for people who had pain and people who were sick, and received testimonies afterwards that many heeling's had occurred. They felt the presence of God and are now far more free in their prayers and worship.The two oldest now pray in tongues, for which we praise God. |

I would like to share a powerful testimony. My father has had a problem with his hip and leg for the past 10 years. It has been so bad that for the last 6 months he has been unable to work and almost unable to walk.At the time of the conference, my father was due to see a rehabilitation specialist on the 14th of May to see what could be done about getting him mobile again.On the Sunday afternoon of the conference, when children were allowed to pray for healing for others, my father went forward for prayer. A young girl of four or five years old prayed a short but powerful prayer over him and my father felt a warm feeling creeping into the affected area and he began shaking. He also became very aware of the presence of God filling the auditorium.
