Thank you all for your continued financial support and prayer for the coming year of Samuel’s Mantle. Here are the things we are asking the Lord to provide for that you may want to get behind. The Lord has his fingerprints on a bunch of things that are currently developing:
The start of our year at Samuel’s Mantle has been quite unexpected in some ways. With the new technology available we have begun broadcasting a devotional from the Samuel’s Mantle Facebook page Tuesday at 10:30am, a 1st year class Thursday’s at 1pm, and a less formal 1-hour teaching time called Free-Form-Friday on Friday’s at 10am. The thing about these web-broadcasts is that the Presence of God is showing up with people who are online in their own houses, wherever in the world they are, just as the Lord would show up in class. This has been surprising for me personally, I do understand that when we play music from the computer in class that the band isn’t in the room but the Lord honours it with His presence – I am just joyfully surprised that the Presence of Jesus follows teaching and activation online exactly the same way to whomever and wherever someone in the world may be tuning in. For example:
“Thank you! I don’t have even words to express the blessings and encouragement that I receive through the activations that you do. His Presence comes so strong and the spiritual realm opens up all around me. I pray that you and your wife will be abundantly blessed!” (Sharon in Ontario)
“Thank you Murray for guidance into God’s Presence once again. This form of communication with God is so powerful and it is healing me. May God continue to bless you and this ministry!” (Kathy in Alberta)
In the first year online class we had people from Australia, New Mexico, Toronto, California, and England (as well as local) all tuning in. The technology is now available at a good price for all of the students to interact with each other in a virtual classroom and do the prophetic activations together! But due to lack of enrollment, we had to cancel that class.  The first 5 classes we did are available in our FaceBook group, add yourself to that group to watch them all.  FaceBook Group Link

On top of that we are now in the process of converting our five week series:

• The Mystery of Spiritual Sensitivity
• Learning to Look with the Eyes of Your Heart
• Dream Interpretation
• Walking with God through the Seasons of Life
• Seeing God in the Word Around Us

into Web-classes and communities. There appears to be so many people who see and feel and dream who just don’t have anyone to talk to, learn about their gifting, and share their experiences – it has been a real joy to connect with these people, and begin to develop the resources to help them. I have the teaching and knowledge thanks to Jesus through the last 19 years of development, now to get it out to these online communities. If you have the desire to connect with people from other parts of the world, to answer questions, pray for them, and do activations with them please let me know!
The local classes are going well, just doing two this year as we shift to where the need online is presenting itself. The first-year class is very much full of pastors and leaders coming from the Mennonite stream. Such a good group of spiritually sensitive and hungry people – it makes teaching easy. (I think this group was mainly inspired from our prophetic outreaches at the Mark Centre at Christmas times for a number of years – good fruit from that.)
The SAMco class is happening in Abbotsford as well, and we are continuing to build prophetic community followed by quite significant training from the Lord on how to listen, interpret, and follow Him. The journey of learning and training continues. For all of you have done at least 2 years of SAM this is still your community and you can join at any time!
Another change in the wind is that there seems to be a lot of hunger from former SAM students from the last couple of decades to connect: as we get things set-up and running it is definitely on my heart to do bi-monthly meetings with a full worship team (just like at the conference) for us all to be in the Lord’s presence together, listen, and pray for and with each other.

And the best for last, Jaye and I are doing great. Thank you all for your prayers and love. God has been so good to Jaye and me. We are dreaming together about developing a Samuel’s Mantle retreat centre and animal sanctuary for horse therapy. It has been made very real to me that there is nowhere to go for spiritually sensitive people to unhook and find rest in a Holy Spirit filled quiet place — to be able to just listen and be with Abba Father. Could you pray with us in regards developing a property like that? I feel this strongly on Father’s heart.
Bless you all for your financial support and prayer. Without your love and commitment, we would not be able to develop the resources we need, to fund these projects, and get the teaching and impartation of the Presence of the Lord beyond our region. Thank you for your desire to see more and more people touched with the Presence of a caring God, Jesus Christ, who wants to be known, heard, and walk in an intimate friendship with His bride.
