I went to Costco ( my favorite place) to get some food for our "new diet" (I've had many new diets!) and to get a pizza before we started it. LOL. I was looking for someone to pray for, as I had made up my mind before I entered to the store to be sensitive to who God wanted to bless. As I walked past a woman folding clothes at the front, I felt the leading of the Holy Spirit to pray for her about her back. I felt awkward and didn't want to do it, so I moved on and headed towards the back to get some meat and veggies. I met a worker there named Dustin and he said he played basketball at the local community college. I asked him after some time if he had any pain in his body that is bothering him. He said that he had to ice his hip a lot after practice and doing the regular drills. I asked if I could pray for him and he said that it was fine. NOTE: Most unsaved people will let you pray for them because they have no idea what is going to happen. Most think that I will mumble some words and then all will be over. God has other plans when we as Christians pray in the authority that he gave us.
I told him that while I pray for his healing that he might feel heat or power on his hip. I started to pray for him and commanded that the pain leave his body in the name of Jesus. He said that he started to feel energy (as he put it) on his leg and hip. I said "Great! that is the Holy Spirit touching your body to make you well." I explained to him that Jesus died and rose again to pay for his sins and to make him a child of God. I asked him if he was ready to receive Jesus Christ as his Lord and to be washed of his sins. He said that he was not ready yet and needed more time. He said he was almost ready but not quite yet. I was happy but I still wanted him to receive Christ as his Lord and Savior. I got his information to contact him later and to talk with him more.
As I was getting ready to leave the store, I saw that woman again. I had been blessed and was more Godfidant (confident in God) than I was when I entered. NOTE: Praying for the sick kills off your "flesh" and makes you rely totally on God. God is multi-dimensional as he works for the person and works to get you closer to him all at the same time. I find that praying for healing makes the person praying stronger in faith and less susceptible to the carnal mind.
I said "Hi" to the woman and asked her name. She said her name was Denice. She did not look very approachable and I was moving from the momentum that just happened with Dustin back in the meat department. I asked her if she had any back pain and she said she was all "good" and completely healthy. I asked her again, still bold from my last experience, and said, "You mean to tell me that your back never hurts and that you absolutely don't need any healing prayer at all, ever?" She answered, "Ok I do have back pain sometimes." I asked to pray for her and she let me pray. As i was praying for healing for her back, the Holy Spirit rested on her and softened her features as His peace rested on her and blessed her. I said "God bless you" and went on my way to pay for the food.
Blessings to you! I hope this strengthens your faith and that you see that God wants to touch people, even people who aren't quite ready for Him.

Healing Story #7 - Going to the Fair
We went to the local fair to have a family night and I was excited to pray for the sick/hurt/etc. We got into the fair and went to the HIM booth which is a local ministry center that selects two non-profits a year to sponsor and then sells bumper stickers, hats, and apparel to raise money for the selected non-profits. We thought this would be a great way to bless another ministry! So we bought a hat and Stephannie got a hoodie pull-over. I could tell that the older man and woman behind the counter were Christians so I just plainly asked them if they needed prayer for any pain or physical issues that they had. They replied that they were OK but that their daughter was just diagnosed with crohn's disease. So I took the mother's hand in my hand we prayed and agreed for healing in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. I gave them a card to contact me to see how things develop with their daughter. We left the booth and continued into the fair to see what we could do with the kids. My back had been hurting for several days after I had used the weed whacker at my in-laws house. Carrying around the weight on one side had thrown my lower back out right above the right hip. It was so painful that it made me walk funny as my hip would make the swerve around when I walked instead of my legs swinging freely. When we were in line for a ride I just asked Stephannie to pray for my back because it was hurting so badly. I know what you are thinking. It just seems cheap that you can pray for people you know well and see them healed...but its true. As she began to pray for my lower back, it made a popping movement right where she had her hand. She was a little startled and asked how I did that. Her belief is that we should do it, but the results surprised her faith. I gave her a little look like "How can I control the fine muscles in my lower back and make them pop on command?" LOL! After that pop in my back happened I felt wave after wave of relief coming. It felt so good to have the muscles unwind!! It is hard to describe back pain being relieved as it can be so painful at times. It got better and better as the next couple of minutes passed. As I was being prayed for I thought to myself, "I am a child of God no different than anyone else. I can receive my healing too just as if I was another stranger in the crowd." You know that some people believe that they can't be healed or don't think that they are worthy? Especially if you have been in ministry praying for the sick, you almost start to play along and not really believe that God will touch you. But you must believe that you are able to receive from God just like everyone else. I had these thoughts and I received my blessing of my back being relieved from pain.
Stephannie also had a headache and was ready to go. After receiving my healing I prayed for her and her headache got much much better! We were able to stay almost until dark as we received a second wind from God! There is so much here available for us from Jesus as he won the victory on the cross. 1 John 3:8 says "The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work." Jesus does everything he does to destroy the devil's work, that includes fixing our bodies as a result of the fall in the Garden of Eden.
I pray this testimony blesses you!

Healing Story # 6 - Pins and Screws in His Arm
In this event, I was at the park with my sons one day in between running errands. The park was full of little kids running around and having fun. There seemed to be two different adults watching them but they were definitely not their parents. I finally ran into one of the people watching the kids, and he said that it was a YMCA trip to the park and that he had been working with the kids for over 4 years. We were just having small talk and then randomly he says "My arm was broken 5 years ago and they had to put pins and screws in my arm. I want them out but I don't have any money to pay for them to be removed." I asked if it hurt all the time and he said it didn't. He then had to walk away and help a kid who got himself into a difficult situation on the monkey bars. After he came back to where I was standing, he said that now his arm hurt. The kid banged into his arm and set it off where the pain would reverberate throughout his arm for several minutes before it died down. I asked him if I could pray for the pain to go away as I was a Christian. He said the pain was at a 5 out of 10 pain level. I prayed quickly in the name of Jesus that the pain had to leave. He said it immediately felt better but some pain was still there. I asked him to pray again, and he started to say something to indicate it was OK, but I prayed for his arm anyways. He said all the pain left his arm and that it was back to normal. After that he opened up to me about his life, marriage aspirations, goals, and what God had in store for him. He became open to Godly counsel about how to find a wife who puts Jesus first and how to make sure that Jesus is at the center of everything he does. After that the bus came and we said goodbye. God blessed this man with his physical pain along with his spiritual and emotional well being. God is good, all the time!

Healing Story #5 - "I'll Take a Swing at you!"
**Disclaimer**
I am writing about 10 people who God touched through my outreach of healing. This was a journey to see if I could do what I saw Todd White and Pete Cabrera Jr. do through their healing videos. These people I met are mostly strangers I met in public doing normal things like shopping, working-out, and going out to dinner. I am posting these testimonies to give Glory to God. I will answer questions about the story but will not debate theology. I’m posting 1 story per day for 10 days. After that I will start posting videos of the actual encounters I have on the streets, malls, stores, and restaurants.

We needed some bread, milk, cheese, and bacon for the house so I ran to Albertson's to get some quick groceries. The night before I got to see God heal my brother-in-law from 18 years of 10 out of 10 back pain so my faith was full to the brim. I felt the Holy Spirit tell me that I was in for a "hostile encounter". My brain registered that my spirit heard that but at the moment of walking through the store, I didn't think much about it. I saw a man in a motorized wheel chair in the back by the deli counter and I knew that I could pray for him. After getting the milk I went over to him and asked what happened to him. He replied very defensively, "Why do you want to know?" I told him that I am a believer in Jesus Christ and that I wanted to pray for him to be healed. He asked how was he going to be healed, by whose name? I answered that it would be by the name of Jesus that he would be healed. He laughed in my face and said by no means would he be healed. I asked him what was wrong and he said he used to be a truck driver and hurt his knee getting out of the truck a couple of years back. He had a knee brace on and you could tell he was in pain. I told him that I fully expected him to be healed, and told him what happened to my brother-in-law last night and how God touched him. I had a boldness rise up in me and said that I was definitely sure that he would be healed. I didn't know it at the time, but he was with 2 other friends who were ordering food from the deli counter. The guy in the motorized wheel chair called to his friends and he mockingly told them that this guy (me) wanted to pray for him to get healed. His friend said to the guy in the wheel chair, "Do you think you will be healed?" The guy in the chair responded, "Hell No!" and they both laughed and high-fived each other. Gulp! I said no matter what you think, God can heal you right now. His friends now gathered around us and were intently listening to the conversation. I asked him his name and he said it was Frank. He then looked at me said, "Dude, if you hurt me I will take a swing at you right now. In front of all of these people I will take a swing at you right now!" I said that I was here to pray for his leg, not to hurt it. I prayed in the name of Jesus that all pain would leave his leg and that he would be restored in the name of Jesus. I asked him to try it out and to try to do something he couldn't do before. He sort of stood up a little for a second and then sat down again. He said that nothing happened and that he was still in pain. He said he wanted my number to call me to laugh at me and tell me he didn't get healed. At this point his friends chimed in and said that they were the lost tribe of Israel of African descent. He went on a four minute diatribe about all sorts of things related to the African tribe of Israelis. At the end, when he finished he said that he could tell I was a good guy and that even though we don't believe all the same things that he felt he could work together with someone like me. I didn't know what to say. I thanked Frank for not taking a swing at me and that I believed he would still be touched by God. My nerves were racked after that and I just left the store shortly after that. I felt that God spoke to me that He was still going to heal him and that I would run into him again, and he would be healed. That was a very different encounter without the healing being displayed at the moment of prayer. I believe that this will come to pass in the Name of Jesus.

Healing Story #4 - Back Injury of 14 years Healed
**Disclaimer**
I am writing about 10 people who God touched through my outreach of healing. This was a journey to see if I could do what I saw Todd White and Pete Cabrera Jr. do through their healing videos. These people I met are mostly strangers I met in public doing normal things like shopping, working-out, and going out to dinner. I am posting these testimonies to give Glory to God. I will answer questions about the story but will not debate theology. I’m posting 1 story per day for 10 days. After that I will start posting videos of the actual encounters I have on the streets, malls, stores, and restaurants.
After praying for the lady in Story #2 (whom I need to call this week to see how she is doing), I went out to dinner with my wife, sister-in-law, and 2 brothers-in-law. After we settled in I shared the stories that had happened so far and that I felt that the Holy Spirit wanted me to get 10 stories together before I shared any of them on FB or social media. They were in awe about how God blessed that lady without me even praying for her and the tangible presence of God was on that conversation I was having with them. At that moment, my brother-in-law said that he felt the Holy Spirit tell him that he was going to be one of the 10 people healed and that God wanted him to ask me to pray for him there in the restaurant. He was initially really hesitant about it because he didn't want to make a scene and have people stop and stare at them. He then shared with the table what he felt God wanted him to do and I said OK lets do it! My brother-in-law explained that he had hurt his back really bad when he was 14 years old by jumping out a high window in a industrial building. It had never been the same since and he lived in constant pain for over 18 years. He could not pick up anything off the floor and the pain was at a level 10 out of 10 all the time. He had just gotten used to it being that way. I laid my hand on his back and commanded the pain to leave and I felt like the enemy had been attacking him through this injury and making it worse. So I commanded in the name of Jesus for all demonic and enemy attacks to stop in the name and authority of Jesus Christ. He said that all the pain drained out of his body and that it felt much much better! He was totally surprised by this healing and was completely overjoyed. I then asked him to do something he couldn't do before, and mentioned that he couldn't bend at the waist to pick something up off the floor. I told him to try it out, and at first he didn't want to. But then he dropped a napkin off the table and picked it up off the floor without any pain! God totally restored his back from 18 years of constant pain! Praise God for his mercy and kindness!!

Healing Story #3 - Legs Grow out in Seattle Washington
**Disclaimer**
I am writing about 10 people who God touched through my outreach of healing. This was a journey to see if I could do what I saw Todd White and Pete Cabrera Jr. do through their healing videos.

I will answer questions about the story but will not debate theology. I’m posting 1 story per day for 10 days. After that I will start posting videos of the actual encounters I have on the streets, malls, stores, and restaurants.
My wife's aunt had asked us to come to a special service hosting some ministers from Texas. We agreed to come and bring our sound system so that we can have microphones and guitars for worship. We drove out to meet them and got there right on time, just as the service was starting at 6:30 p.m. The service started off great and then the preaching began. It was a great service full of the power of God and of good solid preaching. The minister gave several prophetic words, prayed for others for their healing, and finally called out for anyone who had back pain to come forward. He explained that often times when you have chronic lower back pain that it is actually because one leg is shorter than the other one and you are walking off balanced. There were two women who came up and responded to the prayer, one named Isabel and one named Rosie. Isabel was prayed for first and he had her sit down on a chair and extend her legs with her heels touching. I came around from the side and you could see that one heel was shorter by 1 inch than the other heel. He commanded that the short leg grow, and then it began to grow , grow , grow!! She was instantly healed of many years of back pain! The leg grew out within 1-2 seconds as it did not take very long at all.
Then it was Rosie's turn, she sat down and began to receive her prayer. Her legs were extended and her heels were about 1.5 inches off! Even farther! He asked her if she was ready and she said yes. He commanded the short leg to grow and off it went, growing and growing until it reached the other heel. She had back pain for over 9 years and was constantly seeing a chiropractor to help her. The chiropractor confirmed earlier in her treatments that one leg was shorter than the other leg.
Attached are the videos of the healing and the interviews afterwards describing how they felt and how things happened from their perspective.
What a great miracle in the name of Jesus!!

Healing Story #2 - Woman at Howard Amon Park Richland, WA
**Disclaimer**
I am writing about 10 people who God touched through my outreach of healing. This was a journey to see if I could do what I saw Todd White and Pete Cabrera Jr. do through their healing videos.

After that I will start posting videos of the actual encounters I have on the streets, malls, stores, and restaurants.
I was praying in the morning of what to do with my day and I felt the Spirit of the Lord show me a picture of the wading pool at Howard Amon Park in Richland, WA. I got the sense that I would meet a woman there and that God would do something. He didn't give me any specifics on the issue or who or what she would look like. So i packed up the boys and brought lots of clothes, snacks, drinks, and bathing suits. We pulled up to the park and I let the boys out and off they went, running to the park. They were off climbing, running, jumping, and riding the tire zip line. I stood there for awhile and there was a woman calling out for her daughter. She made two laps around the jungle gym and she couldn't find her daughter. I told her I would help her look for her lost child, and related that we had lost our son once too at Disneyland. We looked at a different part of the park a little ways away and she found her daughter right away. I introduced myself to her and gave her a new testament. We made friends and I asked her to come to church and then we said goodbye. That was a good encounter but it wasn't what I was looking for. The boys were ready to go to the pool and they led the way. I quickly changed them and found a spot on the bench next to the wading pool. I didn't see any lady and so I started making friends with a guy there watching his kids. He was very friendly and after some time I began to get a sense that God wanted to bless him. I asked him if I could pray for him and began to pray and say what I heard the Lord telling me about him. He was blessed by the prayer and we continued talking and getting to know each other. At that time an older woman came up to me asking the time. I told her it was 4:45 p.m. and then my memory kicked in and I wondered if she could be the woman that God wanted to bless. I walked over to her and struck up a conversation with her about how things were going. She mentioned that her son's wife just died last Sunday as the woman hit her head on the concrete outside a pool and drowned in the pool. She continued that she hadn't seen her son in over 12 years and had never met her grandson. She was going through a tough time and I asked her If I could pray for her. I laid my hand on her shoulder and prayed for reconciliation and for forgiveness to win the day in her relationships and that God would restore all things back to her. She was blessed by the prayer and I asked her if she had any pain in her body. She told me that she has a sciatic nerve issue running down her leg. I asked her what her pain level was and she said it was very great when she stands for some time. Right now she said it was a level 3 as she had been sitting on the bench. I asked her to pray for her healing, and she said, "Like a miracle?" I said yes!! So she stood up and I commanded the pain to go and asked for the power of God to touch her. I asked if she felt anything and she said no nothing happened. I was bummed and said I would continue to pray for her. I told her the reason that I prayed for her and sought her out was that earlier in the day I felt the Lord sent me to this pool to meet a woman who God wanted to bless. Immediately the Power of God hit her like a thunderbolt and she began to shake and quake under the power of God. She asked me if I felt that power, and then I realized that God was touching her. The power of God began to make her laugh and laugh and laugh!!! I commanded the power of God to bless her over and over again. She was being blasted again and again and we both began to laugh and laugh like we were in anointed conference at church!! I asked her if the pain was still there and she said yes, so I commanded the pain to leave and she confirmed that all pain left her body. Praise God!! The funny thing was that nothing happened until I told her what God showed me about meeting a woman at the pool. It was all God as it even surprised me!! God is awesome!!

these testimonies to give Glory to God.
I will answer questions about the story but will not debate theology. I’m posting 1 story per day for 10 days. After that I will start posting videos of the
actual encounters I have on the streets, malls, stores, and restaurants.
My wife and I were out and about with the kids in the back of the car, when we realized we needed some more things from Costco. We always buy toilet paper, paper plates, etc there for the good price breaks they offer. I had a list of about 8 things to quickly grab while my wife and the kids waited in the parking lot. I had entered into a new mindset about praying for the sick (injured, disabled, sick, etc) whenever I see them to see how the Kingdom of God could break in at any moment. As I entered the store i saw a kid in a wheel chair and I immediately tensed up. I watched him go by in the corner of my eye and I thought to myself, I am not ready for this yet. I immediately felt a power sensation in my right hand and had the gift of faith that I knew the Holy Spirit wanted to heal. The power on my hand did not dissipate or go away. To describe the power, it felt like a surge of electricity hovering on my right hand, and my right hand alone. At the same time, my spirit came into alignment with the Holy Spirit and put my mind frame in the proper perspective. I continued on down the long aisle towards the produce section where I knew I had to get some grapes. I saw a woman with a long leg brace on and I immediately made a U-Turn and started talking to her. I noticed in myself that I was calm and even a little joyful. Normally I would feel a weight in my stomach that would make me feel very anxious or worried. But this time, I was surprised as I was talking out loud to her that I felt good and calm. I asked her what happened to her leg and she said she really was a bus driver and not a full-time employee at Costco. She continued that she was giving the kids a demonstration of how to use the emergency chute out the back of the bus. She explained that it was like the inflatable slides they have on planes to let the people slide out. As she jumped onto the inflatable slide she hit the slide and immediately tore her tendons in that leg. She described that she did everything right, however her body did not respond as intended. I told her I was a Christian pastor and that I wanted to pray healing over her leg. She got skeptical and asked which church I was part of. I explained that my wife and I are planting a church in Richland by the BMW dealership and it is called ASCEND Church and Apostolic Center. She said it was ok for me to pray for her leg. I thanked the Father for her and her life and then I commanded the pain to leave her leg in the name of Jesus. That was all. She said that before the prayer her pain was a 10 out of 10 level and that she used a scooter to get around, pushing on her good leg for the "engine". I asked her what her pain was and she said it dropped to a level 5. Cut in half immediately. I asked to pray again to reduce it all the way down. At this point she was getting confused as the pain was dropping rapidly. I asked her what it was now after the second time. She said about a 2. I said, "Let's get this thing all the way down to 0!". I commanded a third time and the pain completely left her leg. She put her walker/scooter away and started walking normally on the once injured leg. She was totally confused as to what just happened and wouldn't look at me anymore as she talked with me. I said it was Jesus who healed her leg as Jesus lives inside me as I am a born-again Christian. I told her Jesus loves her and that He is amazing! She agreed, I blessed her and continued shopping. As I was leaving I came back into her section and asked her how she was doing. She said it was still good and the pain totally left her. I told her I loved her in Jesus name and left the store.

New Book coming out!!
Hello Friends,
Its been to long since there was an update from my blog. I have been writing a book about churches doing missions and blessing foreign nations. There have been many mistakes made in the past and this is a collection of some of those and how we can overcome them as we give money and physical equipment to 3rd world nations. There have been some hard-won equipment that has been shipped to these nations only to have them stolen at the boarders or taken by other locals from the shipping yard. What this book is about is how to become familiar with nation that you believe God is calling you to, learn the culture, stay with the people, establish lines of communication on the ground, and develop a strategic network to grow and bless that nation. This comes from within the country at its core, building from within and supporting from without. Eventually, this ratio needs to move to 50/50, where the people support themselves 50% of the time and 50% of the support comes from outside. Finally, the largest transition comes from shifting from 50/50 to 80/20 to 100/0. This is where our work is done and we can move on to other parts of the nation or to another nation all together. From this rock, we can now ask the nation we helped support to help us give and sow into other nations and people groups.
This book will be a methodical look at the teachings of Jesus on this subject, and about how to shape nations into the image of Christ. This is a culmination of knowledge built up over the past 10 years and sowing over $70,000 into the nations for small business. We have seen this $70K grow into over 250 small businesses and 200 churches. Now most of these businesses are self-sustaining and able to help sow into new businesses. That is our model: Create self-sustaining businesses that grow and support churches and missions by sowing 5% of their gross income into a communal bucket. Once the bucket has enough money in it, we start a new business that is next in line. Now we have businesses starting every day as the "engine" is entirely working on its own. Think of starting an engine that pumps gas from the earth and then refills itself and then sells the rest for a profit. Self-sustaining! It continually runs on its own and then blesses others to get them going. It really is a move of the people to bless communities, cities, nations, and continents.

Awesome Conference!
Hello Friends,
My wife and I just returned from the Revival 2015 conference at HROCK church in Pasadena, CA. The Lord moved powerfully through many of the speakers by healings, signs, and wonders. I would estimate that over 400 people had powerful miracles happen to their bodies. From both Achilles tendons being healed in a man's legs, to having 300 people stand up from knee problems and having them run up and down the aisles after they were healed. God was on the move to restore people's hearts, minds, souls, and bodies.
From a GROWTH Group perspective, we made many new contacts that will further God's Kingdom. We made a new connection with a Nigerian Apostle who has a heart for unity and blessing in his country. His name is David Adesina from Lagos, Nigeria. We plan to visit him this year to bless him and to cast the vision of starting small businesses to make churches and pastors self-sufficient in their blessing. I know that the Lord has a special blessing for us when we go to Nigeria to bless and expand his Kingdom.
**Vision Update: We have been working towards the Lord's goal for over 10 years in Kenya to reach 250 businesses and have business centers in Kitale, Kisumu, Mombasa, and Nairobi. We have met the goal of 250 businesses in total but we have not yet expanded to Nairobi as of yet. We will soon reach this goal and this will empower us to bless the nation of Nigeria next.
We see this year of 2015 as being the year of breakthrough for us in seeing many churches planted and businesses started. Please partner with us as break new ground for souls to be saved and lives to changed; physically, spiritually, and emotionally.

Back from South Korea
Hello!
Thank you for your prayers and support as I visited South Korea with Ivan Tuttle and Esther Cho from "Mission for Sweet Jesus". We were blessed to speak everyday that we were there just about! We were there to help support Ivan and his book as well as to release the Glory of God.
Link to Video Testimony: Glory Baptism Testimony
Here is my short testimony about the Glory:
Thank you for your prayers and support as I visited South Korea with Ivan Tuttle and Esther Cho from "Mission for Sweet Jesus". We were blessed to speak everyday that we were there just about! We were there to help support Ivan and his book as well as to release the Glory of God.
Link to Video Testimony: Glory Baptism Testimony
Here is my short testimony about the Glory:
I had heard that there were many miracles, signs,
and wonders happening at Skyway Church in Goodyear, AZ from my friends. I had heard that some of them had visited
heaven, been physically healed, emotionally set free, and others had deep
encounters with the Father. I knew in my
heart that this was one move of God that I did not want to miss. I set out to buy plane tickets to fly down
from WA State where my wife and I are currently planting an Apostolic Center
and Church, birthed from Skyway Church.
When I arrived at the church and the service began,
Pastor Greg began to teach on the Glory Baptisms and what God was doing through
them. He taught that this is not a new
teaching but a revisiting to something God had always done, especially in early
church history. There was to be an
expectation of a visitation of God during baptisms, not just a religious rite
of passage. He taught that we should
encounter the Father as we are birthed from the old life into the life of
Christ and it should be with Power!
Next, all the people that were there to receive
their Glory Baptisms were prayed for by the prayer ministry team. I received an anointed prophetic word from
the team as I had just received 2 weeks earlier! God was really moving in the prophetic before
the baptisms. I began to feel nervous
before I entered the baptismal waters as I didn’t know what God was going to do
to me. The Holy Spirit gently spoke to
me that He was going to give me Joy. I
prayed back to Him that I could accept that!
As I entered the waters, I began to feel the presence of God
immediately. I was baptized and after I
came up out of the waters I began to laugh and laugh and laugh! I couldn’t stop even though I wanted to. Next I received Identity through the Father’s
love and also received a deep level acceptance from God that I had never had
before. Then someone began to pray for
me to break any curses off of me. They
prayed that when I was in Africa that I had received a curse over my
health. I can attest to that as I have
had health issues for the past several years after visiting Africa. Immediately, my body flung backwards into the
baptismal waters and I received my physical healing. I can attest that I have not struggled with
the same issues since receiving that healing.
Praise God! What came next was a
birthing of ministry in me to become a Glory Carrier. I had also wanted this baptism before going
to minister in South Korea. I wanted to
have something to give away to the people and the Glory of God is the best
thing I can think of. Ivan Tuttle and I
had a great time together ministering to the people in South Korea, with many
healings, miracles, heavenly manifestations, and salvations occurring!
Now I am back up in WA State planting the Apostolic
Center and Church and teaching on the Glory.
I have bought a small inflatable hot tub to begin baptizing people
here. We are going to baptize 7 people
tomorrow night as the beginnings of an outpouring of His Glory up here in WA
State. When I began teaching on the
Glory here, many people were touched, saved, and delivered! I showed them the video of my baptism and my
testimony as well. This spurred them on
to want what I had received in their own life as well. This new wave of God is powerful and
anointed. I will be a Glory Carrier for
God wherever He sends me, releasing this deep experience with the Father to
impact this nation and the nations of the world. God Bless!

Back From Africa and on to S. Korea
Hello Friends,
Stephannie and I are back from visiting Mombasa, Kenya and we had a great time seeing the Lord expanding His Kingdom. We visited with Simon Karisa who is a local leader of several hundred pastors in the Mombasa region. We shared the vision of GROWTH Group for starting businesses to fund missions, church planting, and every day life. It was immediately received and Simon Karisa joined up to help expand GROWTH Group to the pastors in the region.
We had John Abwao from Kisumu and Edward and Nancy Khaoya from Kitale there presenting their testimonies and sharing with the pastors from Mombasa how God has blessed them and their pastors as well. God moved mightily through their sharing and testimonies.
During the conference several street workers were saved (about 10) and several miracles happened. Several of those who attended the meeting were healed of nose and throat issues that had plagued them for many years. God touched their bodies and restored them to a perfect state. We thank God for his hand of mercy on those who were healed. We thank God for those 10 street workers who were added to His kingdom that day.
We are working with Simon to see what businesses we can start for him and others in the region. We are thinking about drilling a well and providing irrigation water to the local area. This can be a good source of income but we need to treat the water first as it is very salty, being near the coast. Pray that we will find a solution soon.
ALSO:
I will be flying to South Korea in late February to support my friend in the "Glory River Explosion Breakthrough" Conference. My friend Ivan Tuttle wrote a book called "Entrapment" where he died and went to Hell and then went to Heaven and then was sent back. This book has become the #1 best seller in S Korea and several hundred churches have asked him to come to speak. I called him up before I knew this and had felt the Lord lead me to tell him we were taking a trip to Korea in February. That's when Ivan told me that a trip was already planned for that time and that I could help him in the conference! God knows what He is doing! We are set for a mult-week trip, but I will only be there for 1 week as it is very tough on the family to be gone very long. Pray that God blows open the doors of South Korea to revival and that his manifest presence shakes the country!!
