Daniel and Robby Grether
Dear Friends of Free Indeed Ministries,
Thank you for praying for my trip to Vienna to minister to Riley Wall, January 9-19. After two days of flying, trains and taxi to get there, Riley and I had parts of seven days together sharing life, needs, speaking the Word, talking together, praying, eating together, mostly in Riley and Anna Maria’s apartment.
On my longest overnight flight going, the Lord took me strongly through the Book of Acts. He highlighted Acts 3-4, the healing of the lame man. I sensed that Sunday morning was day I was supposed to do exactly what Peter did for that lame man for my friend Riley, a lame man. After I did everything that Peter did and Riley was up standing beside me, he realized that his worst leg’s calf was being healed. Praise God!
That evening Riley and I walked, took a bus and a train to get to their wonderful strong congregation, 4 Corners Christian Fellowship. Anna Maria and her mentor connected with us. The next evening, Riley and I went to their place of ministry, refugee cultural center Vienna Mosaik, https://www.vienna-mosaik.at and Anna Maria came from a different direction (she travels a lot in her ministry and work). I participated with various things that they were doing with a good number of refugees. My heart and perception of the value of this kind of ministry were positively impacted.
After I finally arrived home, 2 days late, I was sad at first. The miraculous healings that I had hoped for had not occurred. Holy Spirit cheered me up later. “Don’t you remember that when I start healing some, I don’t stop! You have gone home; I’m still healing Riley!”
This was proven true when the next month when Riley went with three other men from Mosaik without his wife, by faith, to a large gathering of people that minister to refugees in Warsaw, Poland, and did well. They invited the primary presenter to come to Vienna and teach them more. She’s coming.
Thank you for praying for my wife Robby in my absence. You’ve often prayed for her mother Caroline Robertson, as well, who lived to 101 1/2. Robby and Carol loved each other so much, calling each other every possible day. Carol finally received the answer to her long standing prayer. She peacefully graduated to heaven the evening of Valentine’s Day, 2024. Robby and I led her memorial service at The Hearthstone on Green Lake, Seattle, Sunday, March 3. It was a wonderful service with friends that live there, long-term friends of the family and a good number of her descendants. It was a great family time during our days together. Robby was responsible for Carol’s affairs before she died and is now responsible for the estate affairs. She is grieving the loss of her mother. Please keep praying for her.
There is such a focus on the Kingdom of God now. I’m glad Robby reminded me the kingdom of God is “righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit!” Romans 14:17.
The kingdom-minded Cascadia group in this region that you have heard about in our earlier posts, will be meeting April 9-11, 2024 at Ross Point Conference Center in Post Falls, ID.
One strong nationwide kingdom movement is Don’t Mess with our Kids! https://www.dontmesswithourkids.us/ It is A Call to the Capitols in all 50 states on April 13, 2024, 1-3pm. We are active in this movement and are personally going to be at the Capitol in Olympia with many others from our Spokane congregation. Perusing the website above is quite rewarding.
I’m pleased to report that our Free Indeed Ministries International website, www.fimi.org has been slimmed down, cleaned up and updated to 2024. I would be glad for you to visit it now. We believe that “FIMI” is being revived, renewed and moving into a new season. I would love to connect with anyone who is feeling moved by Holy Spirit to be closer connected as we continue “Knitting the Ekklesia (Church) together in love by equipping leaders, connecting communities and catalyzing movements.”
Thank you again for standing, praying and supporting us and this ministry. Holy Spirit and you keep us going.
Yours and Christ’s for the Acts 1:8 ministry in Spokane, the Inland Northwest, Cascadia and the ends of the earth.
