Charismatic Leaders Fellowship 2018

Another highpoint of the CLF this year was the presence and ministry of Mrs. La Donna Taylor. She was raised in a Pentecostal church and very dedicated to the Lord from an early age. As a young girl she discovered she had a gift of healing, which included people being healed while she played the violin. She did that at the conference several times with especially good results during our ministry time.

This is an unusual form of the healing ministry, but it is biblical. Recall that David playing the harp soothed and bound the demons resident in King Saul. About 30 years ago, I recall seeing Dr. Francis MacNutt, one of the greats of the Charismatic Renewal stand in front of an audience and sing in tongues for their healing. I do not believe he did that consistently, as Mrs. Taylor does in her healing ministry.

Overall, this year’s CLF was a wonderful event. The fellowship was terrific, learning and seeing something of the workings of a covenant community was also a great experience. If you are in a leadership position of a Pentecostal or charismatic church, consider coming to the next one. It will be held in the Alleluia Community again.
