Bemidji Area Aglow invites you to their meeting on Saturday, November 9th at 10 am in the Beltrami Electric Community Room 4111 Technology Dr NW Bemidji. We are excited to have Bob McKeown, worship leader and song writer, leading us in Praise and Worship. Our guest speaker is Phylis Talberg Krogseng from Northome, Mn. Phylis became a follower of Jesus at the age of 9 and was baptized in the Spirit in the 1970’s. Phylis said “As an Itinerant Preacher, Jesus has opened many doors for me.” She has ministered at tent meetings, Messianic Fellowships, retreats, home fellowships, reservations and churches of various denominations. Phylis states, “Holy Spirit is re-opening spiritual wells in the region and making preparations to dig new ones. He is opening hearts that have not experienced His mighty power and encouraging hearts that have grown weary. Phylis plans to speak about Jesus’ great desire for us to be walking in fellowship with Him in the supernatural in this hour.
Light refreshments will be served and all are welcome to attend.
