Signs, Wonders, and Miracles!

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, November 9th - 11th, we had a three day healing revival with Pastor Marshall and his beautiful wife Cherise! :) Friday night the Spanish Service from Springs came up to help us with an outreach and join us for service that night. It was a wonderful time! We had a total of around 110 people come through out the weekend and people got saved and we prayed for many to be healed! One lady came down to the altar for healing of a head injury and God healed her! Another lady and her family came and her daughter gave her life to Jesus and they have been coming since! Many people were touched and we are seeing the fruit of it! Thank you Marshall's for taking time to come up!




It never ceases to amaze me to see the miracles God can do in someone's life! Sometimes we just don't realize how much people are hurting or just choose to ignore it. Many are desperate for something to fill the void in their life that the world leaves and we have the answer! God forbid we would go through our lives without sharing that answer with as many as we can! It is so easy to become comfortable where we are, but the bible says this life is like a vapor; we are not promised tomorrow. Jesus' command was simple: "Go and preach." We come up with so many excuses not to, I am guilty of it myself, but it all comes down to a matter of the heart. Where we place our priorities will be shown by the fruit in our lives. Don't let the devil cheat you of what God has in store! We are fighting a fixed fight; We have already won! Nothing is impossible for God! Take Him at His word and see what He can do!

Harvest Carnival

Halloween...a time for candy, cavities, costumes and carnivals! This past Wednesday, we had our very first Harvest Carnival. After a couple weeks of building, buying, painting, and outreach, we were ready to go! We had games, prizes, hot chili, and of course, candy; lots and lots of candy! There was a cake walk, sucker tree, bean bag toss, bowling, basket ball, and face painting with Joe, our very own clown!



At the beginning of the night, we weren't seeing too many people come through and we all had visions of eating chili and candy 'til Jesus came back! But as the night went on, they started to come and the candy level started to drop. We saw princesses, doctors, superheros, Jack Sparrow and some, well, we weren't quite sure what they were... We had around 150 people come throughout the night, and every piece of candy was gone and most of the food. I only got 7 pieces of candy, but I try not to be bitter... :) We got to meet new people and had opportunities to witess to the kids and their parents. The kids had fun with the games, and even some of the adults. We learned you could never have too much candy and you should never let a clown do his own make-up! (Haha! ;) Just kidding Joe!) The whole night was a wonderful time of food and fellowship! Although, I will never eat another bowl of chili again...EVER! :)
