The Helms
Peter Helms
Peter was radically touched and transformed by Jesus while singing, dancing and acting in the musical "Hair" at the age of nineteen. His life has been and is, an expression of the flair that comes into our lives when 'touched by Jesus'. It's impossible to put him in a box, as he will surprise you and 'jump right out'. He is an artist by nature, on the cutting edge, daring, vibrant, colorful, spontaneous, and prophetic, using all the mediums to explore God thru. Peter has traveled far and wide, across the globe, vibrantly teaching on Faith, the Prophetic, Worship, Finding Your Destiny, Life in the Spirit, Healing, and many more topics. Peter enjoys radically seeing lives changed and set on fire with the love of Jesus. Worship is also very close to Peter's heart. He has led many Worship Conferences, and together with his band 'Recabite', has traveled in many European nations, Canada, USA and South Africa. People have been especially encouraged by his prophetic ministry in worship. Worship to Peter is discovering the Heart and manifest Presence of God, thru use of sounds, fragrance, sight and touch. Peter loves the nations, tribes and tongues...he loves joining right in with them...enjoying their dance, their music, their song...
Anne-Marie Helms
I grew up in Papua New Guinea, now that was, bones in your nose, grass skirt stuff to begin with. Anne-Marie came to know Jesus at the age of eight. Listening intently to a missionary from China tell about her adventures. While she listened, she asked God for a life like that. She drew up a list of all the countries that I wanted to visit as a child...and ever since then it has been an unfolding of one adventure after the other. God has taken her to every one of those countries, on the list where she teaches and shares the things that have impacted her life. Anne-Marie loves to see people come alive, as they realize deep in their hearts that, 'if God loves them, then nothing is impossible'. God has given her radical visions that have resulted in powerful European Women's conferences and ministries Anne-Marie loves to travel, learning from different cultures, as they show her so much of God. Her travels have taken me to: Lithuania, Estonia, Letland, Russia, Kazakhstan, Romania, Mongolia, Africa - Ghana, Uganda, South Africa, China, Scandinavia, and other European countries. One of her favorite sounds is: 'the click of the seat-belt' on the plane. Together with her husband Peter, she Directs the "Go School" in Kelowna, BC, Canada - an international equipping school. She has taught at Youth with a Mission (YWAM), Discipleship Training Seminars (DTS), conferences, churches, and women's ministries. Some topics that Anne-Marie speaks on are In Hot Pursuit - Understanding the Blood Covenant; Choices, Challenges, a Crisis and a Call - a look at Esther and the church, Leaving the Land of Leftovers - Entering the Land of Promise, Ruth: Conversations with God - A look at listening, and many more topics.
