Joshua and Janet Mills of New Wine International will be ministering at God Adventure(GA) East London at Gathering of the Coals (GOTC) and the annual Supernatural Lifestyle Conference next week.
Mills is an international keynote speaker and author, song writer and singer having written more than 600 worship songs. Together the couple have touched over 30 nations with the glory of God being demonstrated through signs, wonders and miracles that testify of Jesus Christ as they worship and preach directly from the glory realm.
During his services signs and wonders are commonplace with manifestations of supernatural oil and gold dust, creative healings, supernatural weight-loss, financial miracles, Angelic visitation and heavenly encounters.
Senior GA pastor Corné Pretorius said there is no registration or fee for the conference.
“You need to get here early as we are expecting a full house this year,” Pretorius said.

Joshua and Janet Mills live in London, Ontario, Canada, with their two children, Lincoln and Liberty, and will celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary on September 14 while in SA.
Although Mills was raised in the church (as a fifth generation Pentecostal), and committed his life to the Lord and was baptised in the Holy Spirit at a young age, it wasn’t until his junior year in high school that he had an unusual visitation from the Lord during a revival service at a church in his hometown.
Hunger for supernatural things of God
He recalls: “I felt the hand of God on my life and knew that I could never be the same again.” Through that experience he found himself having a deeper hunger for the supernatural things of God’s Spirit. Joshua began to grow in the Word, spending hours in prayer and worship. It was through this experience that he supernaturally learned how to play the piano and felt a call to the ministry as a worshiper, first and foremost. Praise and worship has become his signature mark as he ministers in conferences, concerts and churches all over the world. The couple share a message that “praise changes the atmosphere” wherever they go.
In 2005 God began speaking to them about reaching Hollywood and the entertainment industry. He has since appeared on many television programs – TBN, GodTV, It’s Supernatural with Sid Roth, Extreme Prophetic with Patricia King and others.
In 2006 the couple were ordained as ministers of the Gospel in Canada by their prophetic mentors, Russ and Mave Moyer. In 2007 they were ordained in the US by legendary healing evangelists, Charles and Frances Hunter.
In 2007 they began setting up a US extension for their ministry in Palm Springs, California. Through this ministry and the frequent “SpiritSpas” they have been able to reach out to those in the movie, music and entertainment industries, and many others with the compassion of Christ.
