			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><strong><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span>Prayer Changes Things</span></span></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">By Donna Blakeney<br />
Picton, Ontario</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Healing. Yes, God still heals today despite what many people think. Why some people are healed and some are not, only God knows. Let me tell you my story of how the Lord healed me.</span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Toward the beginning of January of this year, a small brown spot on my skin, just below my neck, started to hurt and itch. It grew for about two to three weeks and continued to hurt and itch. It felt like the skin in a large surrounding area was being pulled and felt tender. I called the doctor and made an appointment for February 2. </span></p>
<p align="justify"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">When the doctor saw it she said, “Well, it’s not melanoma and I don’t think it’s one of those bad cancers. It’s weird. I’ve never seen anything like it. I think we’ll do a biopsy.” We scheduled the biopsy for the following Tuesday, February 7. </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">         </span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">I was going through a very hard grieving time as I had lost my husband six and half months prior to this. </span></p>
<p align="justify"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Two days later, the doctor’s office called and said they had gotten the results back and that she would spell it for me. She did, I thanked her, and then I went and looked it up online. </span></p>
<p align="justify"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">The result of the biopsy was “Mycosis Fungoides,” which is T-cell Lymphoma, non-Hodgkin’s type,  in other words-cancer. Well, that hit hard. </span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">I printed off the information and went to our Ladies Wednesday Morning Bible study. I walked in and said, “I need prayer. The Bible says, ‘the fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much’ (James 5:15 KJV) and there are a lot </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">of righteous women here and I need prayer.” I told them the results. </span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">The leader of the group, Marg Gingrich, said, “I don’t even want to know the name of it but we are not going to receive it. She took the papers from my hand, ripped them up, threw them on the floor, and stood on them. They anointed me with oil, laid hands on me, and prayed. As they prayed, I felt the peace of God wash over me. All of the fear was gone. I felt God had answered our prayers and had already taken care of it.</span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Friday, February 17, the doctor’s office called again and the nurse told me the doctor said I could come in and talk to her. I said, “I don’t need to. I have no fear and am totally at peace. I have a very strong faith in God.”</span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">She responded, “Well, God must have his hand on you because we never, ever get an appointment with this dermatologist without having to wait a long time. There has been a cancellation and you have an appointment Wednesday, February 22 at 1:15 p.m.</span></p>
<p align="justify"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">I went to the dermatologist and he just stood there looking at it. Finally, he said, “It’s not what they said it was. &#8220;</span></p>
<p align="justify"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">I asked, “Well, what is it?”</span></p>
<p align="justify"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">He said, “It’s not Mycosis Fungoides. It’s not cancer.” </span></p>
<p align="justify"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">So, I asked again, “What is it?” He said, “I don’t know.”</span></p>
<p align="justify"> H<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">e took another biopsy and applied liquid nitrogen to the area (bigger than the spot).</span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">I think it was March 6 when I got a call from his nurse saying, “It’s just a sunspot.” </span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">As she was saying “sunspot,” my mind was seeing <strong><em>SON</em></strong> spot. </span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">I thanked her and hung up, praising God for healing me. I <strong><em>know</em></strong>, in my heart of hearts, it was cancer but that my Jesus healed me.</span></p>
<p align="justify"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">I called a friend of mine to tell her the report that it was a sun spot. </span></p>
<p align="justify"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">She said, “Donna, as you were saying sunspot I saw <strong><em>SON</em></strong> spot. Where is the spot?” </span></p>
<p align="justify"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">We both laughed as I said, “It’s right next to my heart.”</span></p>
<p align="justify"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">God confirmed that he heals today. He cares about what happens to us. So when you get a bad report –whose report are you going to<br />
believe? </span></p>

<h1><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Experiencing Divine Protection</span></strong><strong></strong></h1>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Written<br />
by Terry Somerville, Campbell River, BC and reprinted with his permission.</p>
<p>This week our city experienced a terrible wind and rainstorm. No one can remember anything as bad. It gets<br />
windy here on the coast, but as I headed out on Monday at nine am I realized this was different. Within blocks of my house, I was seeing fifty-year-old fir and cedar trees down on the road, along with power lines, poles, and transformers. Houses and cars were damaged everywhere. It caught the weather forecasters by surprise. The hurricane-force winds threw logs and large rocks across the roads. As I write this, four days later, power is still not restored in some areas.<br />
The Network News hired me to shoot a video of the damage and interview people. Again and again I heard stories of near misses.</p>
<p>A woman was sitting in her bedroom and a tree crashed in, but missed her.</p>
<p>A man was driving a semi on the highway but stopped for a tree that fell in front of him. Another tree fell on the hood. He jumped out and ran back to a clear area and seven more trees fell all over the truck.</p>
<p>A ten-year-old boy was playing video games lying across a footstool. A tree crashed through their home and pinned him on the stool. He could breathe but couldn&#8217;t move. The firemen had to cut the legs off the stool to get him out, and he was fine. Three more inches and he would have suffocated!</p>
<p>As I heard these stories I said, &#8220;Thank you, Lord, for your protection in our city!&#8221; Many of the people I met said the same thing! We have been praying for our city every weekday on the radio, and so do many others. This is divine protection! It&#8217;s his love and grace! Listen to Psalm 127:1.</p>
<p>Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain.</p>

<p>Many more miracles have been taking place all over Canada. In meetings I was at recently, a woman who had an inherited disease that caused<br />
deterioration of her skin, joints, and internal organs was prayed for. As she started to move her body in faith, she was able to squat and raise her arms for the first time in many years. The pastor who prayed for her said, “Now, run.” She looked hesitant but then determination came over her face. She sprinted down the aisle and back again. “I haven’t done that in twelve years!” was her comment at the end of it.</p>
<p>An elderly woman was interviewed who had come in with a walker. She walked by herself up and down the aisles and across the front of the church in sight of everyone there.</p>
<p>A third woman gave her testimony and said that she was free of back pain for the first time in <strong><em>sixty-seven years!</em></strong> She had sustained damage to her back that had required surgery when she was twenty-two which had taken a year to recover from. Now, in a matter of moments, everything had changed. It had always hurt to stand, but now, with a big smile on her face, she declared that she was completely pain-free.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Another amazing story is this example of what God is doing within the church organization in Canada.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This Good Friday morning at 10:30 am, nine different churches in the small town of Arnprior, Ontario will join together to hold a service. Every church attending will be contributing in some way. To highlight the event, the various members of the churches will congregate in three locations to walk to the Nick Smith Centre, the local sports arena. From these predetermined parking areas, they will lift large crosses up and carry them the<br />
10-30 minute walk to the service. Anyone and everyone is invited to join in and enjoy this unique opportunity to worship with their Christian brothers and sisters and remember what Christ has done for us at this Easter season. Come and enjoy some great music and fellowship!</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>John<br />
Dyck<br />
Winnipeg, Manitoba</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>John limped around for seven months in extreme pain. His big toe<br />
was so red and swollen that his shoe became stretched out of shape. The pant<br />
legs brushing against his skin created pain so great that he could barely stand<br />
it. After consulting with a doctor he was told that he had gout but that it<br />
would be better for him to forego the medication for treating it. The reason<br />
for this was that the medication could cause kidney failure, which was worse<br />
than the cure, since he was only in his twenties and he still had many years of<br />
life ahead of him. This made it necessary for him to endure the pain in the<br />
short-term rather than compromise his health in the long-term. The natural<br />
treatment meant giving up red meat and other fatty foods indefinitely. Last<br />
November, his wife’s aunt came to stay for a few days from Ottawa and asked if<br />
anyone in the family was having severe health problems.</p>
<p>“Not really,” they replied. The<br />
only thing they could think of was John’s big toe.</p>
<p>“Well, do you mind if I pray for<br />
it?” she asked.</p>
<p>Since John really wanted to get<br />
rid of the pain he said yes.</p>
<p>The aunt prayed a very simple<br />
prayer; something like, “Father, we just ask you right now to touch John’s foot<br />
and take away all the pain, swelling, and inflammation. We ask that the<br />
crystals in the joint dissolve and that this foot be completely healed and<br />
comfortable.”</p>
<p>The next day she asked how his<br />
foot felt and he answered, “About the same.”</p>
<p>She returned to her home in<br />
Ottawa and never heard anything else about it for several weeks. Suddenly, she<br />
received several reports from her relatives asking, “Did you hear about John’s<br />
foot being healed?” She hadn’t, so she asked what had happened. John,<br />
apparently, had been writing on Facebook that his aunt had prayed for his foot<br />
and two days later the pain had left and it had started to get better and<br />
better, until even the redness and swelling were completely gone. His foot is<br />
entirely normal now, with no redness, swelling, or inflammation whatsoever!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p align="left">Valerie<br />
Arnprior, Ontario</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Valerie was having a prayer<br />
meeting with two of her friends in her kitchen one afternoon. Her friend Brenda<br />
said, “I feel like someone has a problem with her left armpit. Does anyone have<br />
pain there?”</p>
<p>Valerie answered, “Well, I don’t<br />
have pain, but since I had surgery for breast cancer four years ago, I have had<br />
numbness and strange sensations in my left armpit and down the upper part of my<br />
left arm where they took out lymph-nodes.”</p>
<p>Brenda prayed for her arm, but<br />
Valerie felt nothing happen at the time. At bedtime, as she was putting on her<br />
nightgown and as the cloth slipped down her arm, she suddenly realized<br />
something new and exciting! She could feel sensation on her arm and in her<br />
armpit! There was only a very small area of numbness left and the rest of the<br />
skin could feel the touch, pressure, and pain, where she had had none of those<br />
sensations before. She could hardly wait for the morning to phone her friend<br />
and tell her that the prayer had been answered.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Pastor<br />
George Ewald         Port Hardy and<br />
Nanaimo</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hi again from beautiful,<br />
sunny, I really mean that, Port Hardy.</p>
<p>Karen and I just got back<br />
from a weekend of meetings in Nanaimo at Eagle Mountain Church. What a blessing<br />
those folks are and so much fun to minister there as the Spirit is given free<br />
reign.</p>
<p>First off, I want to<br />
celebrate that another 25-26 souls were saved out of that church between their<br />
bus ministry and the weekend meetings. Come on people, all heaven is freaking<br />
out over this and so should we! That’s over 320, I believe, since March of last<br />
year. Come on, God is good!!!</p>
<p>Over the weekend we saw God continue to increase to<br />
an amazing crescendo on Sunday night.</p>
<p>Friday, a young man who had had the label of<br />
schizophrenia stuck on him for some years was saved and transformed. He was<br />
walking in such peace and joy and all signs of being troubled left as God’s<br />
love won out. Saturday night he was baptized in the Holy Spirit and received<br />
tongues and was so filled with joy that he would just burst into tongues. We<br />
had encouraged him that now he just had to exercise it. He took that to heart<br />
and was continually babbling with a huge smile on his face. He was radiant with<br />
God’s glory.</p>
<p>Another man had numbness in<br />
his feet from Diabetes and the numbness began to leave. The last time I<br />
checked, just his toes had some tingling left in them.</p>
<p>A lady was healed of TMJD<br />
that she had suffered with for months. God completely realigned her jaw in a<br />
split second.</p>
<p>Two young men came in on<br />
Sunday night at the invitation of a friend and they gave their lives to Christ.<br />
It was wonderful. They asked God to give them a good gift &amp; baptize them<br />
with the Holy Ghost and although they did not receive tongues, scripture does<br />
say that if we ask, poppa God will give us the gift of the Holy Spirit.</p>
<p>This past Saturday afternoon<br />
I received a call from a young woman whom God has been anointing &amp;<br />
releasing, especially since Christmas. She asked if she could come and talk<br />
with me. She showed up and shared how God had been all over her on the way home<br />
from Campbell River to Port Hardy that morning. She told how she had been listening<br />
to a song and God began to download and she had to stop at every rest stop to<br />
write down what she was getting in these downloads.</p>
<p>By the time she got home she<br />
heard the Lord say, “Ask for the right to speak.” She tried to brush it off and<br />
thought maybe Karen would let her speak at a women’s meeting. God spoke again<br />
that this was a “now” word, so she thought, “Well, maybe I could speak some<br />
night when the crowds wouldn&#8217;t be so big,” and again the Lord spoke to her. He<br />
said, “This is a now word for the body. Ask Pastor George if you can speak on<br />
Sunday morning.”</p>
<p>You need to understand, this young woman has come through a lot in<br />
her life recently and God has been speaking to her in words of knowledge and in<br />
scriptures prophetically but never publicly.</p>
<p>I believed this was of the Lord and gave her the pulpit Sunday<br />
morning. She spoke without an “um” or an “aw” for about 15 minutes, speaking<br />
the uncluttered message that God had put on her heart about our uniqueness and<br />
how we were all called to minister but not all in the same way. She then made<br />
an alter call and the alters filled. She proceeded to minister to the people<br />
for over an hour in the presence and glory of God. This young mother of four<br />
has never spoken publicly or prayed over people, especially in this fashion<br />
before.</p>
<p>This is revival!!! This is the Spirit of the Living God blowing<br />
from the north, south, east, and west into the flesh upon bones with no life in<br />
it as in Ezekiel. Life springs forth and an army is raised up. This &#8220;IS&#8221;<br />
revival!!! Come on church, we are rising up!</p>
<p>Another young man came in to<br />
the service and gave his life to Christ that morning. I must say, it had been<br />
prophesied over me, by no less than three prophetic types, that I was a<br />
spiritual father and I would see and participate in many birthings. I have<br />
never felt like such a proud poppa as I did watching her speak and minister. To<br />
see this “youngun” doing what God has called and anointed her to do was<br />
amazing. I was bursting my buttons as she ministered in Gods love. Wow, wow, wow!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 align="left">Twenty-Sixth Edition<br />
January 2012</h2>
<h1 align="left">Margaret Katharine&#8217;s Story</h1>
<p style="text-align: left;">Written by Lil and Poul</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">       Imagine my surprise in July of 2010 when I hit the message button on my answering machine and a voice told me that there was a girl about forty years old in a nursing home in northern BC wanting to talk to me. Apparently, she had been asking for her parents to be located for several weeks and the  nurse had taken it upon herself to locate us through the Internet.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">       “YES, oh, God. Yes, that is our daughter, Margaret Katharine!”<br />
Rejoicing and crying, screaming with joy, hardly able to breath or stand up, we  were thanking God for answering our prayers.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">       Seventeen years earlier, while dealing with  some ongoing delusional issues, Margaret Katharine decided to leave the family  and had disappeared from our lives. She left a loving, Christian family with  grandparents, parents, and two teenage brothers behind. We were overwhelmed  with abandonment issues, loss and emptiness, and broken hearts. We could not understand why our daughter would choose to disappear from our lives and leave such a big hole in our hearts.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">       God was our refuge and strength as he always had been, and was the only hope we had! Friends and family prayed and believed with us that she would come back soon. We did not know if she was dead or  alive&#8211;we just trusted God with her. We prayed that she would be safe from all  the bad things out there, that there would be someone who cared for her, that she would not be alone, and that God would always keep her in his care. That we would see her again one day, was our biggest hope.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">       I phoned back immediately and the nurse told  us of Margaret Katharine&#8217;s medical condition, the reason she had been in the nursing home for two years already. She has advanced Multiple Sclerosis and lives her life in a wheelchair, dependent on others, unable to do anything for her self. The doctors are not sure what caused the change in her personality from a mean, nasty, and domineering person, back to our daughter&#8217;s regular  personality. It could have been the progression of the MS or the drugs used to treat it, but we knew it was God and his perfect timing so we could be reunited  with our daughter! My husband and I left the next morning and traveled for two  days to get there, our joyful hearts overflowing for the answer to our prayers.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">        We arrived at the nursing home, to see her so  excited about our coming! It was wonderful to be able to hug and kiss our girl, to touch her, and tell her how much we loved her. Her speech is poor, but for  us to hear her say she loved us and was happy we were there&#8230; it meant the  world to us! She kept telling all the staff, &#8220;Meet my mom and dad,&#8221;  with a big smile on her face. All the staff was so happy that we had come. They  said her countenance had changed as soon as she knew we were on our way!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">        There are so many questions that a parent  has for their child: Why did you leave? Where were you? What did you do? When did you get sick? Why didn&#8217;t you contact us at some point and let us know you were alive? She will not answer these questions, as she wants privacy.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">        We have been told that she came to this town  about six years ago. She was already using a scooter at that time to get around  due to the MS.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">        God has been so faithful to answer our  prayers and has given her several special friends. One lady has become a close friend and looks after her legal things and has Power of Attorney for her  affairs. A very special, older man named David, who has a cousin with MS in that town, and has taken on a unique and tender responsibility for Margaret Katharine. He lives ten kilometres away and rides his bicycle to town everyday to spend time with her in good weather, or he takes the bus into town in the winter. He makes sure her personal care items, comfort items, TV, and phone are in place-he even pays for a companion to come in to the Lodge, three days a week, to spend time with her, even helping to feed her. He phones us twice a week so we can hear our daughter’s voice, tell her how much we love her and hear the same words back from her. David is a gentle, guardian angel, sent by God, to be with our daughter. What an awesome answer to our prayers!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">        The prognosis isn&#8217;t long, maybe three to five years.  Her quality of care is very good at the Lodge and the staff is excellent, quite a few are Christians. We spend seven to ten days with her every three months&#8230;not perfect but it works.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">        Last Christmas, in 2010, we were together and Boxing Day was her forty-first birthday. What a special celebration it was with a party and gifts from all the family and friends. Mother’s Day was so special, too.  There is no way to describe how grateful I am to God for His faithfulness in answering our prayers. Her youngest brother is going to see her for New Year’s this year. Her older brother has not yet been there.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">        It took seventeen years of prayer&#8230;she has a terminal disease&#8230;she can&#8217;t communicate well&#8230;and it is a long distance away. That gaping hole and missing piece in our hearts and lives has been filled with her return.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">       We love her unconditionally, without expectations, just as she is, right now! The same way that Father God loves each one of us!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 align="left">Twenty-Fifth Edition<br />
December 2011</h2>
<h1 align="left"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Transforming Work of<br />
Christ</span></h1>
<p align="left">By Viviane Legault</p>
<p> This is my personal story from 1996 to 2010. I’ve lived in<br />
Ottawa for forty years. I am sixty-five years old. I have lived at the same<br />
address for twenty years. I was a public school teacher for twenty-five years.<br />
I used to tell my friends, “I get paid to play!”</p>
<p>In 1996 I had to leave teaching and go on long-term<br />
disability. Thanks to Father God, I was well provided for by Sun Life Insurance<br />
and a Federal government disability pension. The reason I had to stay home was<br />
due to mental illness-schizo-affective disorder, a form of bipolarism. Later, I<br />
was attacked with Parkinson’s disease. I lived like that for thirteen long<br />
years.</p>
<p>The last eight years of that time I was very isolated. I<br />
had people who would get my groceries, do my housework, and bathe me. I was<br />
sick and over-medicated. I was a zombie. I became listless, unmotivated, and<br />
without enthusiasm. I couldn’t concentrate or focus for any length of time. I<br />
couldn’t watch TV or listen to music. I could not pray to any extent, read the<br />
Bible, or go to church. I was extremely weak and slept sixteen to twenty hours<br />
a day.</p>
<p>I had one Christian friend who I talked to on a daily<br />
basis. Her name is D.B. She has prayed for me since 1993.</p>
<p>How did I keep positive? With faith, hope, trust, and God’s<br />
love. I committed myself to Jesus Christ and asked him to carry me. If you know<br />
the story of <em>Footprints</em>, that was me!</p>
<p>At the end of November of 2009 I was given medication for<br />
Parkinson’s. I had lost my balance, coordination, and my handwriting. I drank<br />
with a straw and ate with a spoon. I shook like a leaf and couldn’t hold a<br />
book. I used a walker. Unfortunately, the Parkinson medication interacted badly<br />
with the medications I was taking for my mental illness.</p>
<p>The week of Dec. 13, 2009 I kept blacking out and became<br />
aggressive. I was admitted to the Ottawa Hospital’s psychiatric ward for seven<br />
weeks. There, I completely blacked out for a week and a half. I was diapered<br />
and fed Ensure, a high-energy liquid meal replacement. The doctor took away all<br />
my medications except for two mild doses for mental illness. He even took away<br />
the medications for Parkinson’s. The psychiatrist was preparing to have me<br />
placed in a long-term care residence.</p>
<p>Suddenly, on the fourth week of my stay in the first week<br />
of January 2010 Jesus touched me. It was as if he said, “That’s enough!” I<br />
became <em>extremely </em>aware of my surroundings. I was able to concentrate on<br />
TV for hours every day. I could hold a conversation and grew interested in the<br />
other people.</p>
<p>Instead of sleeping more than sixteen hours a day, I was<br />
only sleeping eight hours at night. These changes all happened overnight. It<br />
was a sovereign move of God. My brother called this a miracle.</p>
<p>My Parkinson’s, however, became worse.</p>
<p>At the end of January 2010 I returned home to my two cats.<br />
I watched TV and was able to pray more intensely.</p>
<p>By April my hands had stopped shaking enough that I was<br />
able to hold a book. I have been reading the Bible and other books ever since.</p>
<p>At the end of April I started going to church.</p>
<p>That same month my friend said, “During all those thirteen<br />
years when you were so sick, I never heard you complain once.” Now that is a<br />
miracle of God’s awesome grace!</p>
<p>On May 17, 2010 I received my healing in a church service<br />
from schizo-affective disease. The next day I stopped taking the two<br />
medications for it. I no longer have that disease. I have a beautiful, healthy,<br />
balanced mind. That is a miracle. Jesus, I give you all the thanks and glory!</p>
<p>I have attached the letter dated August 4, 2010 from Dr.<br />
Pytlak’s office confirming that I no longer require medications for that<br />
illness. (Yes, I have it in my possession. Val Forsyth, Editor)</p>
<p>At the end of June 2010, the neurologist who handles the<br />
Parkinson’s checked my hands for trembling; they were steady as a rock.  My balance and coordination were normal. Dr.<br />
Mendis’s eyes kept getting bigger and bigger. He took out the Cat scan report<br />
showing that I had brain damage that indicated that I had Parkinson’s. (I also<br />
have a copy of that report. VF) He said, “You don’t need any medication for<br />
Parkinson’s,” and he closed my file.</p>
<p>He closed my file! I’ve donated my walker. My handwriting<br />
is restored. What a pleasure! I can dance, run, and walk up six flights of<br />
stairs. I walk up those stairs three times a week. Isn’t this incredible?!!<br />
Parkinson’s is a disease of the brain that affects the nerves and muscles all<br />
over the body. It is progressive. There is no cure for it and no remission. The<br />
only thing available is medication to mask the symptoms-or divine healing!</p>
<p>People who knew me for the last eight years are totally<br />
amazed by the changes in my body and my countenance. These people include my<br />
family, friends, the folks in my building, the taxi drivers and my<br />
psychiatrist.</p>
<p>Now I am free! It is so awesome! My Jesus is real!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 align="left">Twenty-Fourth Edition</h2>
<h1 align="center"><strong>FREE AT LAST!</strong></h1>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">By Julia McDowell</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>“Moses<br />
answered the people, “Do not be afraid.<br />
Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you<br />
today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will<br />
fight for you; you need only to be still.” Exodus 14:13 </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">On my wall calendar there is<br />
a special date highlighted: August 28, 2011. Itis surrounded by<br />
‘starbursts’ and the words, “FREE AT LAST!” written in capital letters. That<br />
was my day of deliverance and the date that God freed me from the chains of<br />
bondage, which had held me captive all my adult life.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> My father was an<br />
Anglican vicar in the UK. I accepted the Lord as Saviour at the age of six and<br />
when my family came into the experience of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, I<br />
received that blessing at the age of eight. I walked with the Lord until I was<br />
in my early twenties when I began to backslide.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> Somewhere along the<br />
way I developed an addiction to alcohol. It exercised an increasingly powerful<br />
grip on me as the years went by, and although I tried to return to the Lord and<br />
walk with Him, it prevented me from being consistent in my Christian walk. My<br />
grandfather had been an alcoholic and several family members have had problems<br />
with alcohol.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> A divorce and<br />
re-marriage later, and after countless times of letting God and myself down, I<br />
moved to Arnprior in July 2010. I had been going to an Anglican church in<br />
Ottawa, mainly because I could attend the eight AM Eucharist on a Sunday<br />
morning. I could be in and out of church in less than an hour and not have to<br />
listen to any uncomfortable preaching or have to participate in any singing or<br />
worship. However, I had been thinking about making a change when we moved and I<br />
knew some friends who attended Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church. I decided to<br />
see what it was like. I don’t remember any of that first service, although I do<br />
remember that when I drove into the parking lot Michael Bublé was singing, “I<br />
Want To Go Home” on the radio. All I know is that I cried throughout the whole<br />
service and truly felt that I had ‘come home’ at last.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">During the year that<br />
followed, God dealt with me in many areas of my life and I was walking with Him<br />
in every area but one. I felt as though my life was a house–clean, tidy, and<br />
well decorated throughout but with one room behind a locked door. Behind that<br />
door lay something straight out of the TV show, “Hoarders” – my secret<br />
addiction to alcohol. All its dirt, guilt, and chaos were hidden from view but<br />
I knew it was there, and the knowledge made me feel sick to my stomach with shame.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> On Sunday, August 28,<br />
2011 the service took an unusual format. It just flowed in worship and God<br />
spoke through the gifts of the Spirit. The recurring theme was that God wanted<br />
to do something new in our midst and we were not to be afraid. I went forward<br />
and told the church that there was something in my life that I needed<br />
deliverance from and that I believed it to be generational in its nature. At<br />
that time I did not say what the problem actually was. I was prayed for, and<br />
for the first time, I asked the Lord to take away <em>the desire</em> to drink. The next day, in my devotions, the Lord showed<br />
me Exodus 14:13. The words jumped off the page at me. “<strong>The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> I claimed that promise<br />
and experienced a miracle. God truly took away from me all desire to drink that<br />
day and now my whole ‘house’ is clean! He is mighty to save and I am in awe of<br />
his power and faithfulness. I know that this deliverance must stand the test of<br />
time but I also know, in the deepest part of my soul, that the chains that kept<br />
me captive for so long are broken, never to be seen again, just as the<br />
Israelites never saw the Egyptians again after God gave them the victory so<br />
long ago.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> <strong>“He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim freedom for<br />
the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year<br />
of the Lord’s favour and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who<br />
mourn and provide for those who grieve in Zion–to bestow on them a crown of<br />
beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment<br />
of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of<br />
righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendour. They<br />
will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they<br />
will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.” Isaiah<br />
61:4</strong></p>
<h1 style="text-align: left;">  <strong>The Faith of a Child</strong></h1>
<p style="text-align: left;">By Christine Kudla</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I pray that this testimony<br />
will bring you joy and boost your faith in God’s healing power.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">My mother, Leona, has always<br />
been the picture of perfect health.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">One day she was trying on<br />
clothes at a store when she noticed that her legs and stomach were all bruised.<br />
Since she had no recollection of injuring herself she became quite worried<br />
about it. She immediately left the store and drove to the nearest Doctor’s<br />
clinic. The blood work they ordered revealed a picture of acute leukemia, but<br />
they could not confirm it without a bone marrow biopsy. My mother was sent to<br />
see a specialist soon after and the test showed that she indeed had a<br />
full-blown case of acute leukemia.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The doctor also confirmed<br />
the gravity of the illness by giving her a very poor prognosis. He said, “If<br />
you take chemotherapy you have a chance of living two to three months, but<br />
without chemotherapy, it will just be a matter of a few weeks.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">My mother was immediately<br />
hospitalized and her condition quickly deteriorated, leaving her hopeless and<br />
in despair. She soon lapsed into a comatose state for several weeks. After some<br />
time the doctor said there was no longer anything he could do for her and that<br />
it would be wise for the family to be called to come and say their last<br />
goodbyes.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">My brother and his wife came<br />
and left, just as my husband and our six-year-old daughter arrived. She carried<br />
her Bible under her arm and prayed out loud that her grandma would be healed.<br />
Then she lifted grandma’s hand and placed the Bible under her hand, leaving it<br />
there when she left for the night.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">It was a long night for me<br />
to sit there and listen to the breaths my mother desperately tried to keep<br />
taking. I finally fell asleep and woke the next morning to see that my mother’s<br />
eyes were opened.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">She spoke in a very frail<br />
voice and said. “I felt the power of God go through my body, last night.” She<br />
repeated it several times.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">From that day on, my mom<br />
became better and better. (Leona states that she couldn’t eat the hospital<br />
food, but was able to tolerate all the food that her daughter, Christine<br />
brought in every meal for her.) About a month after she began to get better,<br />
the doctor repeated the bone biopsy and there was no trace, whatsoever, of<br />
cancer cells in her body- she had been miraculously healed!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">My mother is now a Christian<br />
who believes in the mighty power of the living God. She is living an active,<br />
cancer-free life. As for the doctors, they still don’t know what happened. One<br />
doctor told us that he searched all his books and the Internet and still does<br />
not understand how my mom can be alive today, let alone free from all cancer.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Leona states that all the<br />
people praying for her are the reason she is alive today. “I can do all my work<br />
as before,” she states. “I went shopping all day today and I am not even<br />
tired.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">One thing is for sure, a<br />
little girl’s child-like faith was rewarded, as God heard and answered her<br />
prayer for God to heal her grandma.</p>

October 2011</h2>
<h2>The Praise Papers</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h1 align="left"><strong>Fibromyalgia Disappears    Terry Waldron, Barrhaven, On</strong></h1>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>I had only been married for one year and was expecting our first<br />
child when my husband died in an accident leaving me a widow. After several<br />
months of pre-term contractions, I finally gave birth to a healthy, but<br />
premature baby girl. Working for the Prime Minister full-time, looking after my<br />
daughter on my own, and all the trauma of what I had experienced were so<br />
stressful that the doctor attributed all this to me developing severe fibromyalgia and arthritis.</p>
<p>As my condition worsened, I was<br />
unable to walk up stairs, bend, or get around without immense and constant<br />
pain. I would go forward for prayer anytime there was an opportunity: at my<br />
church, any other church I was at, Woman’s Aglow, and at Full Gospel<br />
Businessmen’s Meetings. Nothing ever changed&#8211;I still had excruciating pain<br />
from my temples to toes, 24/7. It became so bad that I could no longer drive,<br />
could barely take care of myself, and had to be on regular doses of morphine.<br />
The drugs really did not help the pain very much and were damaging my stomach,<br />
along with several other side effects. For thirty-one years I suffered like<br />
this.</p>
<p>Another lady in my church used to<br />
say hello to me each Sunday, and watch me shuffle in with my cane and back<br />
support cushion.</p>
<p>She would say to me. Terry, “I<br />
always see you in pain. Why don’t you go to the healing clinic at Bill<br />
Prankhard’s church?”</p>
<p>I would just say, “Yah, yah,<br />
sometime I’ll go.”</p>
<p>Even Doctor Miura would say to me,<br />
“Go to the Healing Clinic. I got healed there! You should go, too.”</p>
<p>I would say, “Yah, someday I’ll go.”</p>
<p>My daughter said, “Mom, go. Mom,<br />
Go!”</p>
<p>Well, my friend from church said<br />
she couldn’t get me out of her mind. Since she didn’t know my name because we<br />
just said “Hi” to each other on church mornings, she called the church to find<br />
out my name and number.</p>
<p>The church wouldn’t give it to her<br />
because they are not allowed to. Finally, she asked them so many times and said<br />
she just kept thinking and thinking about me that they gave in and finally they<br />
gave her my number, so she called me.</p>
<p>We met at the Farm Boy grocery<br />
store.</p>
<p>“Can you drive down to the Healing<br />
clinic?” she asked.</p>
<p>“No, no, I cannot drive. It is too<br />
painful.” I told her.</p>
<p>This other lady, she was not young<br />
and had had a stroke herself, but she arranged it and she drove me all the way<br />
from Barrhaven down to Orleans to the Healing Clinic one Friday.</p>
<p>We filled out the forms saying what<br />
my health problems were and we waited until there was someone free to pray for<br />
me. I didn’t know it until afterwards, but they put me in with two young men<br />
and Roxanne, who had been in the same condition as I was in before she had been<br />
healed. So they matched us up because they knew she would have faith to believe<br />
that I could be healed of this.</p>
<p>After I had told her about all it,<br />
Roxanne said, “You are not leaving here until you are healed!” Then she started<br />
to sing in the most beautiful voice. It sounded like the voice of an angel<br />
straight from heaven. It was so soothing. Then men prayed and took authority<br />
over my pain in the name of Jesus. The men sat on each side of me and Roxanne<br />
was in front of me. Roxanne touched my shoulders and asked, “How does this feel<br />
now? Do you have any pain?”</p>
<p>I answered, “Yes, it still hurts,”<br />
because it still did. Then she prayed and sang some more.</p>
<p>She asked me again, “Does it still<br />
hurt?”</p>
<p>After a few times I could say, “No,<br />
it doesn’t hurt anymore.”</p>
<p>She would move on, to my neck, arms,<br />
back, legs and knees, which were the worst, and they would do the same thing.</p>
<p>“Does it hurt now?” and I would say, “Yes, yes, yes, and then NO!”</p>
<p>Finally she came to my stomach and<br />
she laid her hand there. The pain there was so bad and it went right through to<br />
my back. When she prayed for that, it was like the pain just grabbed and hung<br />
on.</p>
<p>So, she started to sing again, and I<br />
relaxed. She asked again, “Is the pain gone now?”</p>
<p>I just said “No, no, no,” while she<br />
prayed and sang and prayed, until finally I could say, “Yes!”</p>
<p>When we were done, I went out of the<br />
room and my friend said I looked like I was in a trance.</p>
<p>Suddenly I realized I needed to go<br />
to the washroom.</p>
<p>The receptionist told me where it<br />
was and I went there. Usually, I can’t sit right down because it was too<br />
painful on my knees. This time I sat right down. There was no pain or<br />
creakiness!</p>
<p>“Wait a minute,” I said to myself<br />
and I went down, up, down, up. Nothing! There was no pain, or noises in my<br />
knees! Oh, my gosh! I literally ran out of the toilet. I started shouting, “I’m<br />
healed. I’m healed!”</p>
<p>It created a big scene. People came<br />
running from all over!</p>
<p>They called the pastor and he said,<br />
“We’ve got to record this. Go find a tape recorder.”</p>
<p>I started to do things I couldn’t do<br />
before. I lifted my hands straight up in the air and out to the sides. I bent<br />
over. I sat down and got up again.</p>
<p>I said, “We have got to get my<br />
friend, who brought me, in here.”</p>
<p>I was crying and jumping up and<br />
down!</p>
<p>This lady who said she couldn’t get<br />
me off her mind had listened to the Lord. She had taken all that time and<br />
effort to bring me on that long drive to the healing clinic. She had waited for<br />
me a long time in the waiting room. She needed to see it and be in on what the<br />
Lord had done.</p>
<p>My husband had died on a Friday, my<br />
daughter had been born on a Friday, and now I was healed on a Friday!</p>
<p>I just thank the Lord and praise his<br />
name! It was such a joyous day!</p>
<p>I wanted to take<br />
everyone there. I ask a lot of people if they want to go there and be healed.</p>
<p>“If you want to<br />
go, I will take you,” I tell them. Now I can drive and I have taken eight or<br />
ten people already. I thank the Lord every day.</p>
<p>He healed me and<br />
I know he can heal them, too!</p>

<h1>What did God Do This Summer?</h1>
<h3>Port Hardy</h3>
<p>We had three salvations tonight all from the group of Punjabis that were involved with the first immigration situation where the young husband could not get his papers a couple of months ago!!! It is so amazing to welcome new brothers and sisters into the family of God!!! I shared how he came to the meetings a few weeks back and praised God for what he had done in reuniting him with his wife after six months of being held back. Tonight he, along with his new bride and her younger sister, all gave their lives to Christ. As I was loving on them and celebrating their decision, he also shared that one of the men in the church had hired him at one of the fish plants and so now he had a job as well. God is so good and Breet is in awe of him!!! He was beaming tonight as God was blessing him so much!!!</p>
<p>For the last three meetings we have seen the mother and aunt in our meetings of the young man that committed suicide two weeks ago.<br />
Tonight, the aunt was healed of a damaged back from a fall and she has been experiencing tightness in the chest and shortness of breath from all the trauma. Tonight she was breathing freely and all the pain and anxiety left her chest area and back. I had her do the glory dance and twist and shout. There was no pain anywhere!!!<br />
The mother of the young man has been struggling with depression ever since and tonight we spoke life over her and the depression lifted. She has had insomnia since then as well and as I declared over her that she would sleep the sleep of the blessed tonight. I had the sense, by the Spirit, to tell her that when her head hit the pillow she should simply thank daddy for her sleep and shut her eyes and she would wake rested. I can&#8217;t wait for her praise report when I get together with them Tuesday.</p>
<p><strong>Week 39-</strong></p>
<p>Sunday night another woman testified of being healed of a back issue and chronic shoulder pain. A man healed of emptiness. Another man testified to being healed of a chronic heart problem and then had an MRI and showing that he was completely healed. One lady described being taken by God on a journey during worship and was flying seeing things from a totally different perspective. I am waiting for the whole story.<br />
Another woman appeared to be surfing in the Spirit at the end of the night and was so full of joy and excitement as she was standing on the surfboard and riding the curl of the wave of the Spirit. It was kind of humorous as she was oooing and laughing and having way too much fun.</p>
<p><strong>Here is the testimony from the lady who went flying with the Lord this past Sunday. Enjoy!!</strong></p>
<p>During worship, I was met by Jesus, and he held out his hands for me to hold on to his. He asked me, “Are you ready?” three times. I remember looking into his eyes. They were bluer than blue, and I asked him, “Why?” My understanding was that due to his nationality I expected his eyes to be brown. He told me that this was how he was showing himself to me, blue-because I feel safe with blue: blue is peaceful and calm, so stop trying to figure things out! I told him I was ready; but I was afraid to let go of his hands. I was trying; I was trying really hard, but I couldn’t let go. I also remember that he never asked me to let go, this was something I was putting onto myself.<br />
Up, up we went and we were soaring. We were racing across the land at tremendous speeds. It was exhilarating-absolutely exhilarating. He showed me so many things; many I am still praying revelation into.<br />
One thing that was significant-he showed me this area, it was like a HUGE tidal flat and the tide was out. There was a very, very, large expanse and the tidal flat was bright, brilliant, lush green&#8211;this was significant because it represented richness/bounty. At the head of the flat I was laying/sitting with other women &#8211; we were sharing food and ministering to one another and it was wonderful!!! (I was viewing this from the air.) I saw hundreds, thousands of people crawling in on their hands and knees. They were crawling in to the lush, green, sea grass. They were yearning- desperate to hear the words that were being poured out from the mouth of the flats. There were so many people coming from all directions to hear the word of the Lord and to be in the presence of the bounty.<br />
I asked the Lord to show me what to pray for. He showed me the dragon&#8211;the dragon was on the ground. The dragon was behind us. He showed me areas to pray for in the governments. He showed me many things that were coming. He showed me his love being ministered at the mouth, and he showed me many people coming to drink it.<br />
The soaring, and the rich, lush tidal flats were very significant.<br />
Him speaking &#8221;Are you ready?” means there is stuff coming!!! MANY people coming to feel and experience the real love of Christ.<br />
He showed me real people, the &#8216;nobodies&#8217; doing the work. Anyway, I will share more when I get more revelation.<br />
Be blessed!!!!!!!<br />
A.M.</p>
<h2><strong>Testimony from Kid’s Holy Ghost School-Vancouver Island</strong></h2>
<p>…People were released into their callings too. One woman stopped dancing years back, the Lord told her it was time to dance again, in the church for God. I saw lots of releasing, taking shackles off people’s feet and releasing them to do what God has for them to do.<br />
So it was exciting! We even had a secret place/soaking time and the kids saw angels and God in the room etc, and the child-like faith opened doors for a greater sense of God’s presence.</p>
<h2>Eagle Mountain Church-Bus Ministry-Nanaimo, BC</h2>
<p>The emergency exit door of Eagle Mountain Church opens directly into the passengers’ waiting area of our town’s bus depot. Free coffee, tea muffins, and cookies etc, are offered. (We do not minister in the waiting area, only when they enter the church). After they come in, the glory and presence of God opens doors for ministry. People are getting saved, healed, rededicate their lives, and then head off to their destinations with a new vision and then they also become seed sowers! Sometimes there is a flood of people and not enough workers, then a period of no one or just a few, depending on the bus schedule.<br />
These are a few snippets from this ministry. From the spring of 2011 until today there have been 35 people give their lives to the Lord through this ministry in the church!! Many others have rededicated their lives and received healings.<br />
July-We had some people from Iran, a group of 15 people, I was witnessing to. They were so interested and listened. When I was finished, I asked if they wanted to be born again, they answered yes, so just as I was going to start the prayer, some one of them said, “Ahhh, no, I don&#8217;t think so not this time” so the others looked at her and said, “Ok, then, we won’t either…” but one lady she came up to me and said, “I believe and I will ask him into my heart when I come home,” she didn&#8217;t want to do it there because of the others, so there I go again. I gave her a Jesus card and explained salvation. I knew she would, too. She was so thankful, she even took picture of us that she wanted to take home.<br />
Wally: Asked to be born again after I witnessed to him. He said he believes so strongly that the Lord led him to this place, and after he looked so at peace.<br />
Two people asked the Lord into their heart, one was from India, just here visiting for the summer. He was overwhelmed, and wanted to ask the Lord into his heart. He seemed to be really nice, a real gentleman. The other man was an older fellow, maybe 70-75. He kept coming in and out, so, finally, I just knew, “There’s got to be something here.” I talked to him, gave a couple testimonies, at the end he decided, “Ok.” He was going for it, so he got saved. Hallelujah!<br />
We prayed for one lady who had emphysema, she could breathe much better when she left, her coughing got much better.<br />
Two team members both got sore left shoulders, which was interpreted as sympathy pains. Sure enough, a man who had recently had left shoulder surgery and was in a lot of pain came in. Two of our team prayed for healing and he received some healing, and also received Christ into his life with tears in his eyes.<br />
A homeless man asked the Lord into his heart, born again, hallelujah. He was so tired living with addictions and all. This happened in a dollar store, he was walking by me huffing and puffing, hurting all over. He said it just started to hurt so much, just to get my attention, I guess. So, I started to talk to him. God did it again-what a Lord we serve!<br />
Others express how much easier it is to approach strangers and pray for them. YES, strangers are willing to accept prayer and they get healed. We are considering putting a booth in the park next to us.<br />
To God be the Glory! More to come! Pastor Wayne Nelson</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>&#8220;We are called to be a people of Presence and as we worship Him, the very atmosphere around us will change. As you lift up the King of Kings in your praise, the cloud of His Glory will radically transform you, your circumstances, and your families.&#8221;                                                                                             Ken Sullivan</strong><strong> </strong></p>

<h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Cataracts Disappear Without Surgery</span></strong></h1>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"> </h1>
<p>Two years ago, I started having trouble with my eyesight. I especially had difficulty driving at night. Then eight months ago I was diagnosed with cataracts on both eyes. After Friday night prayer I felt God touch them and a sensation like lightening go across my eyebrows. On the Monday following this happening I had an appointment to go see the ophthalmologist. He said there was no sign of cataracts. I see a lot better now and drive at night all the time with no problems. I had no surgery, but the cataracts are completely gone!                                                          Judy Collins, Ottawa, Ontario</p>

<h1 style="text-align: center;"> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">I Know It Was The Presence Of God</span></strong></h1>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong> </strong> </h1>
<p>A year ago my mother was in a palliative care unit dying. I did not know Christ then, but my mother did. A half an hour before she died, I saw a robin hit the window. My brother, who was also there, asked me to look and see if the bird was alive or not. “Yes, I see it in the tree,” I answered. Shortly after this, I experienced a tingling from the back of my neck go down to my toes, but didn’t know at that time what it was. Some people believe that a bird is symbolic of a call on your life. A short while later, my mother passed away.</p>
<p>Five weeks ago I was invited to come to the healing meetings. I had had pain in my neck from arthritis for weeks and couldn’t turn it. After I had prayer the pain all left. I asked God into my life and I immediately felt such peace. I also felt that same tingling feeling in my stomach area. Now I recognized what it was- the power of God! My mother knew God very well and now I know him as well. I can feel God there all the time now and it is the best feeling in the world!    Laurin Jones, Pembroke, Ontario</p>

<h1 style="text-align: center;"> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Family Salvation </span></strong></h1>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong></strong> </h1>
<p style="text-align: left;">Our family was always at odds with each other. We loved each other, but we were not close. I prayed continually for my family to be saved.  My mother was the one person that I thought would never come to know Christ, but she was the first one to do so. I went to visit her because she was in the hospital and she said to me. “I want to have what you have!”</p>
<p>Then, my sister, who was always making fun of my beliefs, found out that Mom had accepted Christ. She said, “Jackie won,” but my Mom answered back, “No, God won!”</p>
<p>She never spoke to me for four years, even though I invited her over to our house for special occasions like Christmas and Easter get-togethers. Last Easter, she finally came to our house. She asked me questions and we talked about God the whole time, which she really enjoyed. The following Friday, she came to the healing service and accepted the Lord. Even though we never got along in the past, we are much closer now. My mother, sister, and I talk all the time about God together. I never thought I would ever have anything in common with them, but now we have God!           Jackie</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Sunday Evening, May 18, 2011</strong></p>
<address>Praise the Lord! The Lord is good and blessing the work in  Renfrew. Sunday evening the presence of the Holy Spirit was awesome.  Many were healed of painful arthritis. A totally blind eye in an elderly lady was opened instantly. She had been told three weeks ago that she would never see out of that eye again. A young Muslim man in a wheelchair received strength and feeling in his legs and was able to walk, with help, for the first time in three years. He came with only fifty percent vision and received almost full sight after prayer. The most wonderful miracle was that he and his mother, and two other Muslim people, prayed the prayer to receive Christ as Lord. This is wonderful news for folks and we give God all the glory. God bless each one of you and we appreciate your prayers and support.                                            <br />
P.S. There is a powerful anointing for healing happening especially for eyes, including total blindness. Give everyone the good news that Jesus will heal.  </address>
<p><strong>Sunday evening, May 22, 2011</strong></p>
<address>The power and presence of God was with us in a marvellous way. People began receiving the touch of God, even before they were prayed for. One lady came with a severe migraine that left on its own. Her husband began to feel the moving of the Holy Spirit in his body. Years ago, an accident left his body racked with pain from head to toe. During prayer, he experienced his pelvis, back, shoulder, and arms, all adjust under the mighty power of God. </address>
<address>People came from as far away as Ottawa and Kingston for prayer. A man from Kingston had terminal cancer and felt the power of God go through his body. Also, a lady from Kingston had her leg grow out about a half an inch and a lump on the side of her throat disappear when I prayed for her. Every person that was prayed for experienced pain leave or felt some degree of improvement in their condition. We praise God for His wonderful compassion and love and give Him all the glory. God Bless.                                       <strong>Bill and Joanne McMillan</strong></address>

<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span></h1>
<p> God is so amazing! There is a freedom being realized throughout the body of Christ like never before &#8230; there are groups of people popping up like popcorn, buttered in the oil of the Holy Ghost everywhere, who are stepping into new realms of freedom in their lives, families, ministries, and regions. Religious bondage is being radically replaced by supernatural freedom in the Holy Ghost! Man, this is the best time in the history of the world to be living!</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span><span style="text-decoration: underline;">A Few Testimonies:</span></strong></p>
<p>-We went for a coffee one evening and left the restaurant with three people SAVED! C’mon Jesus – continue to do what you want to do! THE HARVEST!</p>
<p>- MANY have been encouraged and freshly set ablaze to go and do even as Jesus did! People are stepping out into the marketplace testifying of His greatness! Seeds are being sown and pain/sickness destroyed!</p>
<p>- Many healings took place including both physical and emotional.<br />
-The prophetic and words of knowledge have flowed more accurately than ever before! NEW LEVELS! I am absolutely humbled.<br />
- Divine appointment in stores – one with a discouraged ex-pastor. We had the opportunity to speak into his life and pray with him … he will never be the same!<br />
- Physical pain completely healed in peoples’ bodies just as we did worship! The Healer came and did what He does best! Thank You, Lord!</p>
<p><strong>- </strong>Lives will be changed and renewed, bodies will be healed, spirits will be set ablaze, and finances will be supernaturally shifted. We have had testimonies of marriages and relationships restored, freedom from pain due to accidents, arthritis, hip issues, nausea, and many other health issues. </p>
<p><strong> </strong><strong>- </strong>This weekend as we prayed for a lady, she testified of smelling the very fragrance of Jesus even though she had lost her sense of smell years ago! That’s my God! HaHaHa. We also ministered to a young lady on crutches in a mall this past weekend, and after prayer, the pain had decreased significantly. She could move her toes easily (she couldn’t move them at all before) and she stood up, using it to support all her weight while lifting her “good leg.” Kingdom impact in the marketplace.  She was excited! </p>
<p> -Another lady was healed of chronic back issues and constant pain due to an accident years earlier! NO MORE PAIN IN JESUS’ NAME! I am so excited, and blessed-up at the thought of how He is pouring out all over the globe! GO DEEPER! GO DEEPER! So many amazing stories to tell!</p>
<p> <strong>DON’T MISS</strong> this week’s <strong>The Simple Gospel</strong>! Ken and his associate, Rob, hit the streets and had a divine appointment with some amazing young people. We had the honour of praying for them, seeing two accept Jesus, eternal seeds were sown, depression and anxiety were broken, and joy was deposited! C’mon Jesus!                                                      Ken Sullivan</p>

<h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vancouver Island</span></strong></h1>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Last month at the Island Revival Alliance leadership meetings, there were three or four visions shared of a tent travelling up and down the island this summer. In his initial checking, Paul Hansen found that a 250-person-tent would run around $40,000.00. Mike &amp; Denise Echterling were talking with someone not long after, who had been willed a tent from an evangelist in the States. At this last meeting, Paul received an email saying the man has offered it to us for free&#8211;and the cool thing, is it comes packed in its own trailer, with chairs, a PA system, and sleeping quarters for a night security guard in the trailer. Be praying into this, as this <span style="text-decoration: underline;">so</span> lines up with what we sense God is about to unleash this summer in Port Hardy. Qualicum is looking at doing a 24-hr “Burn” in July and we believe this will all tie in together. God has so intricately knitted us together here on the island and we cover that unity in the blood of Jesus. Exciting times are afoot and the Spirit is on the move!    Peace.  Pastor George Ewald</p>
