This morning, Pittsfield Assembly, our home church and also where we had been serving on staff for the last three and a half years, had a time of commissioning our family into our missionary/evangelistic work on a full-time basis. During the service, we had the opportunity to share more about New Beginnings International Ministries and how God had been preparing us and directing our path to reach this appointed time in ministry. Pastor, the Board of Ministry and the staff gathered around us and led the congregation in a time of prayer over our family and ministry.

We had the opportunity to hold multiple services at New Salem Assembly of God in Petersburg, IL. Over the duration of the five services held at New Salem, many were touched by the power of God through physical and emotional healing, baptism of the Holy Spirit, words of wisdom and the prophetic. Kay had been experiencing lower back pain, especially when applying pressure. The prayer for healing was spoken over the congregation on Sunday morning. Kay testified that evening that she no longer had pain. She could move around and apply pressure without experiencing the pain that used to be there. Wednesday evening she testified that she was still pain free and had not felt any pain at all in that area since the prayer spoken over the congregation Sunday morning. God is Good! Sunday evening a dear sister in the Lord received an emotional healing after suffering for many months. When she returned the following evening, one could see in her countenance that God had mightily touched her in her emotions and spirit. We also heard testimony Wednesday night from a young man who also received his healing on Sunday morning. Scott testified that he had been suffering from a sprained knee for three months and had been wearing a knee brace. He took faith Sunday morning after the prayer time and believed that God had touched him. When Scott got home that afternoon, he stood on that faith and removed his knee brace. He then went to his job that required walking up and down stairs. He was able to do so with no pain. Scott said he continued to try different activities that used to cause pain in his knee and was able to participate in these activities pain free! We also praise God for Colleen who received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit during prayer Monday night. Tuesday evening there was a time prophetic ministry and personal prayer time.

This weekend we traveled to Minnesota to conduct services at two different churches. Our morning service was held at North Springs Church in Lino Lakes, MN. Once again, a prayer for healing was prayed over the congregation at the end of service. One testimony of healing we received came from Olympe. She came to the service needing and expecting a touch from the Lord on her body. She had been suffering from pain in her shoulder, a kidney infection and loss of hearing. As the prayer for healing was spoken, she began to feel the Lord's healing touch on her body. She had come to the service wearing a hearing aid, but left the service with the hearing aid in her purse. Hallelujah! She testified that she could hear Jamie speaking clearly without help from the hearing aid. She also testified that the pain in her shoulder was gone. Others were touch spiritually and emotionally as they also received prayer.

Tonight, we held service at Christ Community Church in Zumbro Falls, MN. Several testified to relief of pain caused by sciatica. One young woman testified to the relief of pain caused by the onset of a migraine headache. Also, a gentleman testified to having vision problems due to eye injury. When he would read or look at things, he would see spots going across in front of him. After receiving prayer, he noticed a change, but the spots were still there. He received prayer again, and testified that there was a great improvement and that he was believing for total healing to come. Amen! Another lady also came forward for prayer to receive more from the Lord and a refreshing of joy from the Lord in her life. God's touch comes in many ways!

We had a wonderful service this morning at Plymouth Assembly of God in Plymouth, IL. We had been a part of this church several years ago and it was a blessing to see so many new faces in the congregation. After the Word was brought forth and the invitation to come to Christ was given, eight people raised their hands for salvation. Praise God! Several people also raised their hands to receive prayer for healing.

Our evening service was held at the Assembly of God in Camp Point, IL. During the prayer for healing, Jamie felt the leading of the Holy Spirit to pray for a sports related injury. During the testimony time, a young lady who plays basketball for the college she attends, said she had a ligament injury to her knee and was not able to pivot on that knee without pain. She knew that the prayer for the sports injury was for her and testified to receiving a healing in her knee. She stepped out into the isle and did a pivoting move with no pain. Amen!
Update from Faith Assembly of God (Quincy, IL)
We received a call this week from Sarah, a young woman in attendance during services held at Faith Assembly. She shared with us the miracle touch from God she received. Another woman in the congregation felt lead to take Sarah up for prayer that evening. Sarah came forward to receive prayer for swelling in her feet, ankle and lower legs, and for the pain in her lower back. What she did not mention to us though, was that she had been suffering from scoliosis (curvature of the spine) for at least 25 years. Jamie had Rachel place her hands on Sarah's back as he began to pray for the pain and swelling in her feet, ankle and legs to be released, and for the pain in her back and the scoliosis to be healed in the name of Jesus. Sarah shared in her testimony that Rachel had placed her hands on the exact spots on Sarah's back where she was feeling pain and where the curvature in her spine was located. After spending time in the Lord's presence, Sarah looked down and could see that the swelling had gone down and noticed that the pain was gone. After she returned home, the Lord prompted her to check her back. She realized that her clothes were fitting straight on her body and that her pant legs were the same length, which was unusual, as her clothes had not fit properly for a long time. She continued to check her back over the next several days and realized that God had healed her scoliosis. She began to share what God had done with others in the church and with the Pastor. Her testimony has encouraged many people she knows and it is her desire that this testimony will encourage and touch all who read and hear about it. The Lord's healing touch on her life also gave Sarah a boost in her faith because she had prayed many times for healing of the scoliosis, but had not yet received that healing, but the Lord chose this time, when she had not specifically asked for prayer for the scoliosis, to touch and heal her. Not only did the Lord touch her physically, but also spiritually and emotionally as her attitude and outlook on life has changed. Praise God!

The wonderful healing power of God was present at Faith Assembly of God in Quincy, IL today! After ministry of the Word and prayer for healing, several were touched by the Hand of God. Here are a few testimonies of God's healing touch. One woman had been experiencing stiffness in the neck which had been causing pain and difficulty in movement. After the prayer of healing was spoken over the congregation, she testified to being free of the pain and stiffness in her neck and also showed that range of mobility in her neck had return as she moved her neck around freely. Also, a lady who had suffered a heart attack in the past, was having chest pains during the service. After the healing prayer, she said those pains were no longer there. Praise God for His healing touch! Several came forward to the altar for prayer during the evening service to receive a physical, spiritual, or emotional touch from God. As these individuals were being prayed for, the power and touch of God could be seen working in their lives as they received what the Lord had for them. God is a miracle working God!

Once again we saw the power of God show up and many being touched by His presence in both the morning and evening services. One woman had been suffering from glaucoma in her right eye.

She also confessed to having her back pain relieved. Before prayer, she had not been able to raise her arms up above her head, but after prayer she was able to do so with no pain.
