Go Beyond the Fence

Purpose

Open Vision International, led by Rick and Lee Anna Stoker, is dedicated to helping people identify their vision, nurture their character, and equip them for action. About three years ago the Lord began to speak to Rick and Lee Anna about women taking their place in the Body of Christ. In January 2010 the Lord again spoke to Rick about a season of doors opened for women like never before. Two months later, while upstairs in his home praying, God filled the room with His presence and told Rick to host a conference of female leaders who had not been much seen or heard from before. Their names were given to him, along with a prophetic word for each speaker. “Beyond the Fence” Women’s Conference is the fruit of that experience.

Upon receiving this directive from the Lord, Rick remembered the fence that separated his property from his neighbors as a young boy. As a child he was told not to cross the fence, but in a dream he saw himself do just that and find the treasures of his inheritance on the other side of the fence. Rick and Lee Anna’s mission during this season is to empower women to cross the fence into a new place where they can see and do new things. The Stokers invite you to come to “Beyond the Fence” conference in Wilmington, NC, August 26th-28th, 2010.

Wednesday, August 25th, there will be an Intercessors Empowerment Workshop with Tracy Schellhorn. Tracy is an anointed prophetic intercessor and teacher. She and her husband founded Manifest Ministries in 2000. Currently, she oversees and directs an international Intercessory Network. Conference sessions begin on Thursday night at 8pm; there will be sessions Friday and Saturday at 10am, 2pm, and 7pm, with a backyard luncheon each day. Plan to be visited by a holy God for a new future!

Speakers

Bonnie and Bob Jones are contemporary prophets with a great love for the Lord Jesus and His truth. Bonnie is a gifted speaker and anointed to share a unique perspective. Bob’s prophecies have spanned over three decades as the Lord has enabled him to foretell earthquakes, tidal waves, comets, and weather patterns. Like Daniel who functioned at an incredible level, Bob has often told leaders their dreams and experiences, as well as the interpretation.

Mary Anne Hardiman is an amazing teacher, speaker, and anointed prophetic voice in the Body of Christ. She is on staff at MorningStar Ministries in Ft. Mill, SC. She and her husband, Tom, travel internationally hosting prophetic roundtables and calling nations to their destinies. Mary Anne is gently leading a quiet revolution of women taking their place in the five-fold ministries of the Church, and the Church taking her place in the Kingdom.

Donna Hoover is considered by many to be one of the most prophetic voices of today. She operates as a seer and leader alongside her husband, Fred, at Abide in the Vine Fellowship in Owego, NY. Donna is a fresh voice speaking with wisdom and encouragement. She is a voice of old-time holiness and modern day fire. Her revelations are accurate and timely.

Julie Joyner and her husband, Rick, live in Fort Mill, SC. They co-founded Morningstar Fellowship and Ministries over 20 years ago and both participate in ministry leadership, with Julie focusing on music and social justice initiatives. She is the loving mother of Anna Jane, Aaryn, Amber Grace, Ben, and Sam.

WORSHIP

Small-town worshipper Lindsay Durham is a little bit “hippie” mixed with a splash of country twang and a whole lot of folk. With confident vocals and heart-felt soul, it is evident that Lindsay goes to another place when she sings. At times you can catch her staring up into space and you somehow know she's looking into the captivating beauty of the eyes of the Beloved. Devoted to seeking the Spirit, her songs are mere skeletons taking on new forms of life with every début. Her desire for intimacy with the Father is unashamed in her focused lyrics, a transparent vessel. Longing to pour out the love she has experienced on others, she sets up a conversational set, unafraid to be real and raw. Lindsay is an open book, her songs encourage listeners to place the good, the bad, and the ugly places of the heart on the table before the Lord and then invoke the healing heart of God to change the atmosphere. You walk away feeling as though you’ve just been to a bonfire with Jesus and some of your closest friends.

Andrew Ehrenzeller is passionate about God, people and music. His desire for intimacy with the Father is evident in his music and lyrics. His heart for God’s people is evident in his life. His gifting and anointing are evident in his craft. Andrew leads worship through worshiping – inviting and encouraging all to enter in. He leads through example, giving his total effort and attention to the Lord and responding to His Spirit. Andrew understands that the purpose of a child of God is to glorify the Father – by lifting up the Son – in worship and in life. He has been playing and writing music since childhood and received a bachelor’s degree in Music Theory and Composition from Stetson University in 2002. After serving two years as a worship pastor in Wisconsin, Andrew moved back to his home state of Florida. Andrew is currently ordained through The Covenant Center in Lakeland, Florida, where he filled the role of Worship Pastor. Andrew is now serving part-time on staff at the Harbour Church in Pompano Beach, FL. He also travels as an itinerant minister to many venues, both in the states and abroad. People respond to the love of God through his music –both inside and outside the Church walls. For more info please visit his website at www.lionandlamb.org

Fred and Tracy Norris have served as worship leaders for Campus Crusade, Assemblies of God, YouthQuake Charleston, Seacoast Church, Raleigh Christian Community Church, and now at Dayspring Fellowship in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina. Throughout their travels they have pursued the revival anointing present in Holy Spirit filled worship.
