An update on my sister, Kathy: She had surgery on Mar 5. The tumor, the size of a pea, was successfully removed. Her lymph nodes are completely clear, so the cancer did not spread. Praise Him! Continue to pray, though, as she is starting chemo and radiation. Thanks again for your prayers. Also, what Keith preached about serving this a.m. reminded me of what the Lord showed me a while back. One day I passed a Pierce Transit bus (like the ones I used to ride), and I saw "NIS" displayed on the back. That's their abbreviation for "Not In Service". NIS reversed is, of course, SIN. When we are in unrepentant sin, we are temporarily not in His service. When we repent, we are restored, and are back in the good fight of faith. We are then useful and effective in our service for Him. Frank Hiden  fhiden@msn.com

NEW Testimony of healing Date:23 Dec 2007
I have recently become recommitted to following Christ and learning the way. The miracle god gave us happened about 4 years ago and I’ve been dying for an opportunity to tell more then my friends about what happened. My wife had been quite Ill for about a week although I think she was under the weather for longer then that and she said at the time she thought is was the flue but had terrible chest congestion and headaches. She told us later the reason she had not went to see a doctor sooner was that she was afraid she might get bad news as she was a smoker and had been a heavy smoker for a few years. I had offered to take her to doctor and said she really needed to go, but she kept saying no I will be fine. After I had left to work this day her adult age son came by and said do you want me to take you to hospital and she must have felt at that moment that not going was no longer an option. She got to the hospital and the son offered and wanted to stay with her but she told him that she would be fine and she would call for him to get her later. Immediately after he left she essentially dropped dead. She crashed, Stopped breathing and dropped to the floor. Thank GOD in E.R. They were able to keep her alive and rushed her to intensive care where a team of doctors worked intently to keep her alive for many hours. Me I’m at work with no idea what’s going on. The son calls and tells me he dropped her off at the hospital to which I’m thinking great now she will get treatment to get over whatever she has. Well she had double pneumonia and her whole body was septic and her lungs had just quit. So I show up after work to see what’s going on because the son hadn’t got a call to get her yet. I get there and there all kind of looking at me funny and tell me she’s in intensive care, which felt like someone had just gut punched me. I find her in intensive care surrounded by a herd of doctors. When they find out who I am one of them takes me aside and in as caring a manner as he can, calmly tells me I should get my affairs in order because she will probably not make it. I’m still amazed that my knees kept holding me up at that moment, undoubtedly the most traumatic moment of my life. She was put into an induced coma and put on life support and breathing machines for 7 days. Definitely the longest week of my life as they would never during this week tell me she was out of the woods and told me even if she survived there could be permanent brain and other damage. As you might imagine I spent many hours in prayer and talking to God. During one of my late night bedside prayers on her third day I asked God to send an angel of healing and in that moment I saw in my mind four angels one at each corner of her bed ministering to her. An experience that most certainly will never leave me, and from that moment I felt a sense of peace and confidence that she would make it. After the week of being in the coma and on the breathing machines she had progressed to the point where they felt her lungs were well enough to sustain her on her own and they brought her out of the coma. I told no one at that time what I had seen in my prayers, but all the doctors when they came to visit would say well how’s my miracle girl today as none of them expected her to live a didn’t know why she had survived. But I do. Praise God! For he is a loving and merciful God and performs miracles every day! Doubt it not for the Father watches over you all. It has been very difficult for me to relive these days to tell you about the gift of mercy and healing we were blessed with, but if it helps to build someone’s faith and hope it was well worth reliving my pain. I guess I should ask God to help me remember only his loving gift and to take the pain of those days. God Bless and Merry Christmas! Patrick   pac5427@yahoo.com

I been suffering of depression for 3 years. I had it at nights and days as always. Also I had this secretly so it was never treated. So I started going to the Open Door Vineyard Church that my mom told me I ! should go. So I did and they taught me about praying and keeping the faith. So then one night I was depressed and crying. Then I remember the church saying about prayer so I prayed then all the sudden I stop crying and feeling depressed. So ever since I prayed to God taking my depression away I haven't ever been depressed since. So Lord you are wonderful thank you for making me feel all better. Domenique Ramolete

Sunday I stayed home to take Cayden (4yrs) to the convenience care to have his ear looked at. He'd been up most of the night in pain, complaining of ear pain. On the way there. He kept saying to me. "I want to go to church" well, I came to a crossroad (turn rt. to church or left to clinic?) and thought, Lord I know you can heal him and he could get some good prayer ` I also knew that Pastor Keith was hot off the block from a missions trip. but I thought... I should be a good mom and get him checked out, go to church for prayer, and then, if needed, get the prescription if. So I turned right to drive to the Dr's., we pull up and it's closed until 11am. I totally knew at that time, the Lord wanted us to go to church for Cayden to get prayer. So during ministry time Pastor Keith prayed with others for Cayden's ear. You could totally see the Lord ministering to this little guy. He's not complained of ear pain for the last 3 days. He told us that God healed him!! Have a wonderful day ~ Trish

NEW Testimony of Salvation and Healing Date: 07 Feb 2007
I was told 6 weeks ago that I had been given only 3 to 6 months possibly live without treatment for Hepatitis- C.  I was invited by a friend to go to church with her who attends the Open Door Vineyard Christian Fellowship and went. At church I received prayer for the disease and at the same time I decided to give everything over to the Lord; things that I really wasn't ready to let go of yet, I surrendered to him, and I trusted in him completely with my life. I continued to go to church for prayer and in the meantime I had more lab work done.  The good news was my survival rate went up the swelling in my liver started to go down. After that I had an ultrasound done and the results of my ultrasound shows no more swelling at all! So with each day I have just involved Jesus in everything in my life. I prayed everyday and received prayer Sunday morning at church. Later I had more blood work done and my Dr. calls me and says GREAT news my viral load was normal NO more Hepatitis-C; it is like I never had it!!!!!! So I thank everyone who has prayed for me. We as brothers and sisters will do great things together through the mighty power of prayer!!!! So think of Jesus, talk with him often, give him all of your worries and he will provide!!!! Praise him, love him, and let's shout his name for his is our father!!!! HOLLY JANGULA

Praise report Date: 12/05/2005
My husband was transferred to a new position in Tacoma in August. Immediately our monthly income dipped by 75% and times were very, very, very tight. I am a believer in professing God's Word out loud and declared John 15:7 "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you." The following month my husband's commission doubled and just recently someone handed us a check for 7500!!!!! In turn, God gave us an opportunity to show His love to a family in the Body of Christ by taking care of their immediate and urgent needs. They never asked us, we never met prior to our phone conversation but God set up a divine appointment and my husband and I were sensitive to the direction of the Holy Spirit. Glory to God!!!! In God I trust, Carmen Watson

Testimony of healing 11/25/05
I had been suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome after serving in the Iraq war. I was having periods of sleeplessness I sometimes would not sleep for days on end and when I would sleep I would have night mares. I was finding it difficult to just function on a daily basis. It was adversely affecting my work performance and not to mention my family. I was experiencing "flash backs" and on one occasion attacked my wife. After extensive prayer and counseling with Celebrate Recovery the Lord delivered me during one of our Sunday evening renewal services. Instead of suffering for years with PTSD as I have heard of some war vets may, God set me free and I now help others overcome their adversities. THANK YOU JESUS! Gary Hillin

Testimony of healing 10/30/05
I was going in for neck surgery. My C7 vertebra was pressing on my T1 vertebra documented by an MRI. My disk had ruptured and was pressing on my nerve going into my left arm causing great pain, numbness and paralysis.  I had people in our church lay hands on me and pray for me on Sunday morning and I felt the some power go though me.  Later that day some of the numbness had left and more of the pain had left. Over the next few days I had more people pray for me and I continued to regain strength in my arm and pain continued to leave. Finally, it was gone! Strength back and no pain. I went in to my Nero surgeon  for my pre-operation appointment and told him what had happened. The Doctor ran me through some strength test and said “I don’t think I can improve on that.” no surgery, I am healed.  We serve an awesome God.

My dad who lives out of state had quadruple heart surgery in August. We had asked our church body and other brothers and sisters in Christ to cover my dad in prayer. Not only was his surgery a success, he feels that he's in the "best shape of his life" right now. He also believes that the Lord is doing a "heart change" for him spiritually. He plans to meet & hopefully work with others in Mexico Missions in the next few months. God is so good and faithful! Trish Beck

God answers prayers and the declaration of our faith
First of all I was having a problem with work ending at the end of September because if I wanted to go back to school for anything and get financial help I was not going to be able to start at the end of September so I was going to have to wait until January to start.  So I was hoping that my job would extend a couple of more months so that my severance would hold out until Feb. or March of next year.  Well God does answer prayers.  I came into work today and there was an email from our boss stating that they were looking for people to volunteer to stay on until October 28.  This not only will extend my severance until February but we also get small bonuses based on how we do each quarter and this will guarantee that if we do get a bonus I will get one for third quarter and then one month into 4th quarter. God is good Hallelujah,
Sharmel
