June 15, 2010 Gerry lost his job and we went on unemployment. We did have some money in savings but only about enough to cover our bills for about three months. With unemployment we get about $1600 a month. Our regular bills before we pay our tithe, buy food, or do anything with our vehicles are $1,865. In the 12 months since we’ve been on unemployment we have gone to California to see family twice, Gerry went to Redding CA to go to Bethel; Sacramento, CA; Reno, Nevada; and Boise, idaho. He also went on the youth mission trip to Oakland, CA. We have not missed one meal. We have received more clothes than we know what to do with for Elli. She has attended dance classes, and music class. We have gotten new tires for both our vehicles and I had my air conditioner fixed. I have art supplies for Elli and for myself.
Gerry and a friend have partnered together and are trying hard to develop their design and construction business but up until now it has been a little slow getting started. We are seeing lots of good signs and they just signed a good contract that will begin to bring in some money.
During this entire year we have not gone into debt. We haven’t used credit cards nor have we asked for money from any one. God has been our Jehovah Jireh and he has provided abundantly for us. I am not going to say it’s been easy – there have been times when I wondered how we were going to be able to survive but God has always shown up with exactly what we needed.

Pastor Randy got this report from Pastor Raymond England at Trinity Lighthouse. You gotta love the Kingdom!
We invited Summit to come and bring the fire of revival they were experiencing to our church. They came and a word was given to my wife that the 34 years we had been pastoring had ruined her suspension and that God was about to redo her suspension and equip her so the last days of her ministry would be the best days. The word continued with God is giving you “Mercedes Suspension”.
We had dinner with my wife’s brother and wife on Tuesday evening. They began questioning her on her “new make up” saying, “you look so young,” and “what are you doing?” I’m not sure we ever did convince her sister-in-law that God touched her on Sunday night and that was the reason for her youthful appearance. She has felt so much better this week.
Praise God!!

Sunday night they had 3.5 hour service of worship and ministry and there was break through and many healings! Yea God!!!

A 57 year old gentleman that had been disabled because of a broken back was healed and is going to be able to go back to work;
A young lady with vision problems and was required to wear very special glasses, God touched her and she declared sight was perfect;

Here is a list of the testimonies from the past Sunday service time in the altar. There were two rounds of healing and here is what God did…
- Becca’s stomach was healed
- Crystal’s shoulder, wrists, and back were healed
- Terry’s elbow was healed
- Troy’s back was healed
- Lee’s hand was healed
These are some additional reports we have received about what God is doing lately…
- Bernice received a report about a month ago that her white blood cell count was high and there were white blood cells in her urine. Their first Sunday here someone gave a word of knowledge that God wanted to heal blood disorders. We prayed for her and this past week she received another report that everything was normal!
- David and Debbie’s daughter who was an addict and in jail has been released and she is healthy, going to church, and has a job that she is excelling in. God has turned her life around.
- Debbie’s father was diagnosed with lymphoma. Recently he went in and the Doctors told him that the cancer cells had not grown any, in fact the may have even shrunk. The doctor was not able to say he was in remission but they are going to do one more round of chemo. So keep him in your prayers!
- David has been mentoring Ronnie who is in Eastham unit in Lovelady TX. One Sunday David had a strong burden for him, so he prayed and when they had a chance to talk, David asked what happened that day. Ronnie told him that on that day there was a motorcycle group that was there and God showed up.
There were gang members laying down their colors, homosexuals laying down their lifestyles and many people were saved. Ronnie teaches a
bible study and his class attendance in now at 47! Praise God!
- The church van’s air conditioner which was not working has begun working again! God cares about the things that matter to us!!!

God is always doing something. We can see it and participate with Him if we are paying attention to what He shows us.
Here’s a report from Regina on some of the things God has been using her for recently.
I just wanted to give you a quick update on what God has been doing.
I talked to my Mom yesterday and she got the test results back from her blood work and it came back normal. She explained that her blood work hasn’t been normal in two years. She was in stage three renal failure and her liver enzymes were high. She said everything in her blood that was abnormal is now normal again. Praise God; he is restoring my Mother. The healing that is taking place is also bringing my Step-Father closer to him; he is starting to have faith. God is so good!
Gail and I have been praying for the restoration of her family. God has given me visions and I know the healing is taking place. We had a breakthrough yesterday and Zack agreed to go to rehab. The steps that lead Gail to the rehab facility and the counselor was all God. The work God has been doing on Zack’s heart and preparing him to accept the help offered is truly a miracle. The kids had been at odds with each other and they all came together and his sisters drove him to the rehab facility. Gail said it couldn’t have gone smoother and the kids were healing their relationship with each other and closer than they have been in years. God is so good and so faithful to his promises. Even when we can’t see what is going on behind the scenes he is paving the way for the healing.
Yesterday the Holy Spirit highlighted someone to me that needed a healing and we gathered in his office this morning to pray for the ACL tear in his left knee. As we prayed God healed his knee. I asked if he could feel something and he said yes I actually can feel a sensation. I told him the healing will be confirmed by his doctors because he is supposed to go in for surgery in the morning. I said don’t be surprised if they put you under but discover that there is nothing to do. Give God all the glory that your testimony will cause others to seek out God’s healing in their life.
There are so many more testimonies to tell you about but those are the three that I want to highlight and say Praise God for his kindness and mercy. Thank you Lord for your healings and everything you allow me to be part of to bring Glory to your Holy Name.
