Someone once said, "People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care." The sadness that we felt for the Gargus family has reminded us that nothing is as important as showing our care for each other with God's love. I have been amazed at the outpouring of support, not only for Chris and Vicki, but for our youth as well. We have shown ourselves to truly be a spiritual family.

Missionary Heidi Baker says that revival is simply loving the person that is right in front of you. We all have many opportunities to do just that every day. But what does it mean to really love somebody? It means to pay attention to them, listen to them, offer to pray for them, tell them the truth about Jesus, forgive them when they offend you, make sacrifices for them, and help them even when it is inconvenient for you.

We Christians have had so few divine encounters that we aren’t very adept at recognizing them when they happen. We have consistently settled for a Christian experience that has left us spiritually anemic. Our senses have been dulled for too long. We are critically bored but we are too drained to get up and do anything about it. Even when we read the Bible we no longer see how exciting, dynamic, miraculous, and explosive the accounts are of people having divine encounters.

All through human history people have had weird encounters with God. Most of us can look back and recognize our own weird encounters with God. And yet we still find it a challenge to accept and expect that our next encounters may seem weird too. But we must use wisdom. Just as the angel Gabriel came to the prophet Daniel and gave him skill to understand the ways of the Lord, we too need supernatural skill to understand what the Lord is doing in revival ministry.

Even with all of the amazing medical breakthroughs, there still remains a need for God’s miraculous healing power. I am thankful that I do not have to be solely dependent on doctors and medicine for my health! Jesus is the GREAT PHYSICIAN. He is Jehovah Rapha, the Lord Our Healer.

We now have a new Healing and Visitation Ministry. Let those you know who are in need of a “healing visitation” that we are here for them. If they live in Newark (Licking County) there is no need for them to come to us; we are prepared to go and take God’s healing power to them. We will pray with your family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers —
in their homes, in your home, in the hospital, nursing facility, wherever there is a need of a touch from God. We are His hands.

I am excited to report that we are hearing some wonderful testimonies of God’s miracle working power. A few weeks ago, a little boy in our church experienced a healing miracle. All of his fingers on one hand were crushed in the hinge side of a door that was completely closed. His parents prayed and asked God for a miracle, especially since they live in the country, far from the hospital. In about five to ten minutes this little boy stopped crying and told his mom that his boo boo went bye bye. His mom looked at his fingers and found them to be completely healed and normal!

We are also rejoicing with a dear lady in our church who has been fighting cancer. The latest report from her doctor is that the cancer is gone and that it is as if it was never there!

Matthew. 7:13 — “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” NKJV

Luke 13:24 — “Strive to enter by the narrow door [force yourselves through it], for many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able.” Amplified Bible
