"I will tell everyone about your righteousness. All day long I will proclaim your saving power, for I am overwhelmed by how much you have done for me. I will praise your mighty deeds, O Sovereign LORD. I will tell everyone that you alone are just and good."
(Psalms 71:15-16)

How can I say thank you enough for all your prayers for me as I ministered in Idaho. Driving 2800 miles, through five states in a two week period of time, I rejoice in what God has done. As God opened the doors for me to minister in various Aglow Lighthouses, a women’s prison and the Lighthouse Assembly of God Church, there was a response to the gospel as many came forward to receive a touch from God. Men, women and children responded to the love of Jesus Christ as 11 received salvation and became born again.

The wind began to blow fiercely outside the women's prison in Pocatello, as ladies awaited to be ministered to by the Lord. As the gospel was being shared, tears streamed down their faces as hearts were being touched. Seeing God move on the hearts of these ladies, I wanted to hug them like a Mama would do to comfort her children, but there was to be no physical contact because of a prison rule. So as ministry continued I encouraged them by reminding them that the love of Jesus Christ cannot be detained or restrained and there are no prison walls or bars that can hold Him back when they called on the name of the Lord. Many responded and received Jesus Christ as their Savior while others also came forward for prayer. Then as ministry was ending there was the sound of an alarm signaling to everyone that it was time for them to return to their cells. Although prison rules said no physical contact, many hugged me as we said good-bye. Since returning home, I have received a letter from one of the ladies who will not be getting out of prison until 2015. She shared her heart and has asked for prayer. I rejoice in now having an opportunity in responding to her directly and keep in contact.

The Aglow Lighthouses were a blessing. At one meeting there was a lady who was completely deaf who has been coming to the meetings on a regular basis. She could not hear the spoken Word but wanted to be in the presence of the Lord. During praise and worship she signed to the words to the songs reading them from the transparencies projected on the wall. She smiled as I prayed for her and someone stood next to me writing the prayer so she could read it. She could not hear my words or read lips, but God ministered to her heart.

On Saturday night I gave a message in Spanish to the Hispanic congregation at the Blackfoot Lighthouse Assembly of God Church. Pastors and their wives from surrounding cities came to the meeting and I was blessed and humbled that God had allowed me to be the messenger for His gathering. Worship was awesome as we sang and praised the Lord in Spanish. Then on Sunday morning I had the opportunity to minister in the same church to the English congregation. Again what a privilege and joy it is to be able to see God touch hearts as His Word ministered to the hearers.

I have been given an open invitation to return to Idaho and I look forward to the next opportunity to minister. There is a Pastor who wants to do an evangelistic 3-day outreach and asked if I would be interested in being the speaker. I also met the Chaplin for all the prisons in Idaho and he was interested in having me come and speak at different prisons. Isn't it amazing how God causes paths to cross? Thanks be to God.

So dear ones, again thank you for being a part of this with me...you have truly blessed me, the new babies in Christ, and brothers and sisters in the Lord who were ministered to by your prayers.

I send you my thanks....but most all .....heaven thanks you.
