God showed up and showed off in Taiwan as we trained inner healing teams for two churches as well as releasing the prophetic gifting into the body there. As SOZO was being ministered to the leaders of the church they were getting free from lies they had believed from childhood. Several of the ladies were sexually molested as children by relatives or friends. What a joy to see them healed from the devastation of such an invasion of the enemy.
One lady said…
Through the ministry I was directed to meet God in deeper ways through Sozo, my life has gained freedom both in relationship to God, to man and to myself. I feel so much lighter.
Another reported…
?I received a prophetic word about carrying loads that I was not meant to carry. This together with my Sozo training has released me from a lot of unhealthy manipulation in relationships.
Yet another is telling everyone in sight how God has turned her life upside down through her Sozo encounter, and is continuing to testify of the release she feels deep in her heart and in every aspect of life.
SOZO whacked them with encounter.
Then the Co-Pastor said of her Husband…
He was watching you and the others step out in prophecy in the meetings, so Sunday morning he also began by prophesying over people. Words of knowledge, prophecy, etc. is happening in every meeting we have had since. ? Hallelujah! We all feel upgraded in the use of spiritual gifts! It is exciting!
God be glorified!

Our first miracle report from Pastor Randy on his trip to Taiwan…
Headed to Taiwan on a mission trip we drove from Dallas to Houston to catch our first flight the next morning. After the Mavericks won their first NBA title I went to sleep so I could get up at 3:45am to catch the hotel shuttle at 4:30am. So this morning at 4:20am I arrived in the lobby to find Ramona, the desk clerk, sitting in the lobby. I began a conversation in which she informed me almost immediately that her foot was in pain. She informed me that she gets bone spurs but it had been a long time since she had had one. A strange thing to come up in a conversation except when you are on mission, LOL!
So, I told her that I was a Christian and sometimes when I pray for people they get healed. When asked if I could pray for her she said yes. I also asked her what the pain level was and she said it was ten.
I simply blessed her, thanking God for her and rel eased the Kingdom into her foot. Holy Spirit showed up and heat began to build in her foot. I asked if she felt the heat and she said she had felt it as soon as I touched her foot.
I then asked her to check it out and she got up and started walking and saying, “oh my gosh, oh my gosh,” which being interpreted means, “I am healed.” Bone spur and pain GONE!!!
It has already started. Keep praying. Taiwan is going to get rocked for the Kingdom and it’s King, Jesus.

I wanted to let you know about what happened at Trinity Lighthouse in Denison Sunday night. Brother Raymond asked me to come and preach after he had been here for a sectional meeting. At that meeting we had a prayer time for the pastors and again I had invited several of our family to join us not knowing that they would be praying for the pastors. We began to share the testimonies of the miracles that had been happening in our services and on the streets when we went on treasure hunts and God showed up and showed off in our sectional meeting. The next week Pastor Raymond called me and asked me to come and bring the fire we were experiencing here.
I told the congregation that I had been invited to come and impart the revival fire and that I needed a team to go with me and the church family is my team. We began praying about the meeting 6 weeks ago and we went up this past Sunday night. We ended up with 45 people from Summit going up with us.
Here is a snap shot of what happened…
In the music portion Brian Moyer released a testimony of a treasure hunt he had gone on, two ruptured discs were healed at Wal-Mart, I then stood and released the testimony of Scoliosis being healed at the Holy Spirit Conference and called for anyone with Scoliosis or a back problem to come forward for healing. One young lady came forward with Scoliosis and God healed her as I was calling out other maladies. When the shout went up I turned and asked what was going on. She stated that her back bone that had been in the shape of an “S” was now straight. When I questioned her as to how she knew she snapped at me and said, “Listen I know what a crooked spine feels like and now I know what a straight one feels like, I am healed.” We had a Chiropractor on our team and I had him examine her and he said the spine appeared to be as straight as could be.
This opened a flood of healing. Arthritis in a hand was healed, Deaf ears began to hear, blind eyes began to see, 6 hips were relieved of pain, depression and anxiety lifted with several stating they felt the darkness lift, asthma was healed, legs were lengthened, 2 cases of scoliosis were healed. I release another testimony about a rotator cuff being healed during worship and the Children’s pastor’s wife said, “I will take that for myself” and she was healed, no pain and full range of motion was restored. One lady had feeling restored to her finger tips. She had not been able to feel anything and was feeling different textures before the night was done.
WOW!
God showed up and showed off. The presence was tangible and everyone was touched. There were people all over the floor being prayed for, several people who had come in with depression even looked different when they left. It was a GREAT NIGHT!

Recently, Amy was playing Farm Town on FaceBook. As she was harvesting someone’s farm, the other person mentioned that the reason her farm was so small was that all her crops died while she was caring for an aunt who had cancer. Amy offered to pray and began declaring healing over this elderly woman suffering from ovarian cancer.
On Saturday an update came from the new friend on FaceBook. Her aunt is feeling better, the cancer count in her body is down, and she has gained 2 pounds! The doctor has told the family to keep doing whatever it is they’re doing; but we know that it’s really God that’s doing it. He is the great physician!
Let’s keep believing for complete healing!

The Summit gets regular reports from several missionaries that we support financially or through prayer. Here’s the latest word from Jerry Adams in Peru…
Last year I was ill on missionary assignment in Peru. I came home to go to a Doctor and was diagnosed with prostate cancer. We prayed and went home to Peru and I started to feel well. We just returned this year and went to the same doctors. They could not find any sign of any cancer. God is showing up and showing off!

Denis went to Dallas to minister to the homeless. Here’s a report of what happened.
I went down to minister to the homeless of Dallas. We had around 40 show up for the service. We had them in a circle for prayer and I went around breaking the spirit of addiction off of all those in the circle.
There was one man who had been shot in the arm and was having problems moving his
fingers. I prayed for him and his fingers started moving better.
I took a friend, Tyrone, who had been a pastor before but had taken a back seat and was sitting out of the war. The minute we started praying Tyrone stepped up and began to pray for people and the Spirit of God hit him and there was real renewal of destiny. Tyrone will fulfill his
God given destiny.

Two of this year’s biggest buzzwords have been “change” and “hope” – words bandied about by political parties and talking heads for all these months leading up to next Tuesday’s presidential election. The real evidence for true change and hope will only be seen when lives are impacted for the better, in a very real and lasting manner.
This past Saturday, change and hope were on display in Wylie, TX. “Change” because over four hundred volunteers from eleven different churches of various denominations came together to give to their common community, and “hope” because we all saw many lives touched by the power of selfless love.
Convoy of Hope is a first-responder relief organization run by the Assemblies of God – CoH was first on the ground after Hurricane Katrina – throughout our nation, CoH works with local churches to host what are basically carnivals of giving.
What made this particular event truly remarkable was that there was no way it ever should have happened in the first place – these events have costs, and the costs for the grounds, tents, fencing, food, entertainment, amenities, and all the other things that go into an event like this one hosting thousands of guests can run well over $20,000. The vision for hosting the event began with my pastor, and our church is very small. The costs were well beyond our own means, and beyond that of the churches who joined with us.
But we pressed on with the planning, knowing that this event needed to happen, and knowing that we serve a big God – as we moved closer and closer to the big day, donation after donation began pouring in from individuals and businesses.
Free medical screening. Haircuts. 15,000 hot dogs and buns. Thousands of bottles of water. The city donated a $700/day trash bin. Lighting. Tents. Bounce houses. Nearly everything we needed – free. All told, the event that should have cost tens of thousands came together for only a few.
And what an event it was!
Our church’s worship team kicked off the event at a volunteers rally held on the site the night before – hundreds of people coming together to worship God under a beautiful, starry Texas night. The following morning dawned clear and cool, and the weather was absolutely perfect for the carnival.
Volunteers bagged free groceries unloaded off CoH’s semi. Hot dogs were grilled, music groups from four churches played all day, and kids had a blast playing on the massive bounce houses. And everywhere you looked, there were smiles on faces, and connections being made – face to face, heart to heart.
Over 2400 people came to the event – all of them went home with free groceries, some with new haircuts, some with information about their health, and over 1900 of them were able to sit down with our volunteers who talked and prayed with them personally over their lives and their circumstances.
Without that personal connection, without a real expression of concern, caring and yes, love, change and hope are just words. When people come together to simply show the love of God, Change and Hope can become real in the hearts of those who experience it.
