HI EVERYONE!
We have had great opportunities for ministry here. Everywhere we turn there is someone who needs answers.  We are surrounded by Christians, but many have not learned about their authority in Christ.  This is where Al and I come in.  It's been great.  Yesterday I taught the Church bible study at Pastor Bobby Ray's Church and this Wednesday night, Al will be preaching at Pastor Dean Melton's Church. Thank you Lord for opportunities!

A great story from our friend, Sharon.  She had cataracts and was seeking the Lord for a long time believing for her healing, but the Lord told her to go to the doctor, so she did.  As she thought, he scheduled her for a procedure to correct the condition.  She said it was a very short, simple procedure and pain free.  The doctor told her to come back the very next day to check her eyes.  When he looked he said: "This is very unusual." When she asked why he told her that it takes one month before 100 percent healing could take place but her eyes were TOTALLY HEALED the very next day!  She wasn't even surprised and told the doctor what really happened was that they were healed even before she had the procedure.
To top it off, about a week later she was in the back seat of her friends car and was reading.  She saw all the words perfectly. But when she stopped reading for a second she realized she did NOT have her glasses on.  She could see perfectly and clearly!  She always hated to wear glasses and believed for her healing in that area also.  After the procedure, the doctor told her he would change the prescription on her glasses to a lesser strength, but what he didn't realize is that God's healing power manifested once again and now Sharon has 20/10 vision!  Praise You Jesus!  Here she is...

HI EVERYONE!
One thing I've learned this summer - God is always on the move! Recently our 13 year old grandson told us that he went to heaven in a dream. He said he was falling from the heavens down to the earth when his body flipped and he was headed upward into the sky.  He had a what should have felt like a very abrupt landing.  He landed on his right knee onto a grassy area.  The impact was so hard yet he felt as if he landed on a cushion. He looked for a slight dent in the ground; he also looked to see if his leg was hurt even though he felt no pain.  No dirt on his knee either. Everything was untouched. When he stood up he noticed he was wearing armor - a breastplate, sword, etc. He then heard a voice say: "This is Heaven." He looked around this peaceful setting; everything had a glitter tone. The grass was greener than he had ever seen; the mountains were a shiny, sparkly gray. He felt great peace!  God is so good.  When we pray for our children, this is one of the results.  God speaks to our kids in marvelous ways. If Matthew never told me about it, I would have never known, but it doesn't really matter.  If we are praying for them, we can be assured that God is speaking to them. Hallelujah!
Matt also had the opportunity to volunteer at Ambassadors to the Nations ministry in Charlotte NC. They have established schools in Nicaragua and support thousands of children there. See below..

Pastor Scott and Michelle Barreto visited us recently. Pastor Scott had the awesome opportunity to minister at Both Pastor Dean Melton and Pastor Bobby Ray's Church. He also lead worship on that Sunday morning.  As Pastor Bobby would say: "He was off the chain!" 

We were on the boat one evening and noticed that three young men were in the water and their canoe overturned. It was just getting dark and no other boats were out there. Thank You Jesus that we were there to rescue them! No one would see them once it got dark!  See pictures...

Al and I went to Pastor Dean's birthday party. Apparently he is a "cologne" man so guess what most of his gifts were? We had a blast. Then we attended Andrew Wommack's seminar in Flushing NY. There were 1,300 people in attendance!! Lots of prayer ministers and great message on the Grace of God!  Al also got to minister at our friends church in Moorseville called: Friday Night Church On The Lake!

GOD IS AWESOME!

HI EVERYONE!

God is such an awesome God!  We had another Miracle and Healing Service with Pastor Bobby Ray and saw mighty miracles.  One woman was healed ALL over her body.  We saw her a few days later and she was feeling perfect!  Total Healing!  Another was delivered from 10 years of darkness and demonic activity in his life.  Totally free and baptized in the Holy Spirit!  Others were born again and encouraged in God's plan and purpose for them!  Here are some pics, but I have to say, it does not compare to being in the atmosphere of healing and in the presence of God!  Love Him!

Hi to all my brothers and sisters in Jesus!
Our amazing God has done amazing things these past weeks.  Last week, our daughter Karen and I had the awesome opportunity to minister at Pastor Bobby Ray's Women's conference at Assembly of Faith Church.  The topic was "Blessed to be a Blessing."  This was the first time I ever heard Karen preach and I was so proud of her.  She is an amazing teacher of God's Word.   She got two additional speaking engagements out of it!

Also, we just got back from Atlanta with Andrew Wommack. Al and I are prayer ministers for the ministry. I prayed with four different individuals before the first service started and saw INSTANT MANIFESTATIONS of healing; cataracts healed, knee pain totally gone, sinus congestion completely gone, and horrific continuing cough stopped immediately for the rest of the night. (She was sitting next to me so I witnessed it) Hallelujah!  God is so very good.

Hi Everyone!
God is always on the move!  We know that we will be ministering in Charlotte this summer in various ways, but we are also so excited that we are able to sit under the feet of two awesome men of God.  We are learning so much from Both Pastor Bobby Ray of Assembly of Faith and Pastor Dean Melton of Freedom Christian Center.

Andrew literally takes the shirt off his back for a student!

We also had a great weekend as we joined Andrew in CBC Raleigh's Open house, followed by the GTR the next evening.  From what I hear, Andrew broke all records with over 1,300 in attendance!  It was such an awesome meeting.  As many of you know, the Directors of CBC Raleigh are Kleist and Tommy Rhodes who are the parents of our daughter Karen's fiancé!  It was great spending time with our new awesome family!  Here are some pics...

Hi!
These past two weeks have been tremendous in the Lord.  We had the opportunity to visit Andrew Wommack in Orlando and then in Miami.  Awesome teaching once again. Also, the meeting at God's Barn was awesome. Here are some pics:

Hi Everyone!

My Dad, testifying of God's goodness in his life.

It's been a while, I know, and I have so much to share about what God is doing at VLM. My dad just visited last month fully healed of aggressive bladder cancer and melanoma. He testified at some of our meetings at God's Barn. During his stay, he had many personal experiences with God which excited him enough to write it all down. He asked me to type them up and I did and he is using them to witness to others. When my parents went back to New York, they began laying their hands on people for healing! They learned so much at the Barn and took what they learned and went out and did it! That's exactly what we're supposed to so. Whatever we receive from the Lord is for others! Hallelujah. They are both in their 80's -never too late!  Here are some pictures:

I can't help but share my excitement over what is happening in God's Barn!  We started Healing School this week with 25 students.  I don't look at it as a good turnout, although it was, but I'm more excited about the enthusiasm and seriousness of the people attending.  They want to be well and God wants them well too!  Loving Barry Bennett, the teacher, who is the Dean of Charis Bible College in Colorado Springs of Andrew Wommack Ministries.  Anyone who wants to join in, just do it!
The other evening we held a meeting at the Barn and one of our regular attendees, Cynthia came with quite a story.  Here it is:

"I made a doctor's appointment to get a prescription refilled, but I was also suffering from hardness and pain in my stomach.  I began spitting up blood.  I mentioned it to the doctor and he insisted I go to the emergency room immediately; if not, I could die.  He said he had seen this many times before.  I was fighting it because I wanted to attend the meeting at God's Barn that evening.  The doctor would not let me leave his office until my husband and I agreed to go straight to the emergency room.  Instead of going there, I went to the meeting at God's Barn.  I received prayer by people who were in agreement with me that this was not God's will and that I was healed.  The next morning I returned to God's Barn with a testimony ... all bleeding stopped; the pain and hardness totally gone!  Praise the Lord!"

WOW!  I just love this story.  I have learned that the doctor's reports could be a real concern in the natural realm, but once we attacked the spiritual realm and stood on the Word of God that says, "By His stripes, we WERE healed," we changed the outcome! When people get sick, they should go to their church first.  God has equipped the Church of Jesus Christ to get healing to people. Amen!

A beautiful day here in Florida - Stay in Peace!

I am just so excited to see God working in the lives of people.  Last Friday we had an awesome Healing and Miracle Service in God's Barn.  A man came with a brace on his arm recovering from surgery.  You could only see his hand covered as he had on a long sleeve shirt, yet Pastor Bobby kept pointing to his elbow and praying for that.  The next morning that man called our home to say that when he got home he took the brace off and all the pain was gone completely.  Not only that, but he had a huge ball of swelling on his elbow, which Pastor Bobby did not know, and it was completely gone.  He came over the house shortly after that and showed us his arm and how he is now able to move it any which way without any pain!  This man is jumping for joy and giving great thanks to our great God!

I just received a beautiful card from a beautiful friend and I would like to share it with you:

What We Have In Jesus

We have hope today -

not because of our circumstances,

but because of Him

in Whom we trust.

We are strong today -

not because of our great might,

but because of the power

of the One at work within us.

We have victory today -

not because of anything

we can accomplish,

but because of what He did

for us on the cross.

I'm so excited because this is what Victory Life Ministries is all about - Hope, Strength and Victory!  Each time I think of what was accomplished on that cross 2,000 years ago, it brings me to 

such a state of thanksgiving.  Realizing that everything we could ever need has already been taken

care of at the cross is indeed the true Gospel.  When Jesus said, "It is finished," He meant it!  All sickness, pain, poverty, addictions, were put on Jesus Himself.  We are also now free from trying

to please Him or gain His love through the law of works.  WOW!

Hallelujah.  I love Him so.

Exciting news I just had to share ... A couple of years ago my dad was diagnosed with aggressive bladder cancer.  After chemo treatments, the tests would be clear, but then the cancer would always return at some point. Last February Pastor Bobby Ray held a healing and miracle service at God's Barn.  My dad happened to be visiting.  Pastor Bobby prayed for him, spoke directly to the cancer while explaining that if Jesus lives inside my dad, then the cancer MUST GO simply because no two substances can occupy the same place at the same time!  Since that day, my dad has been free of cancer!  Today, (8 mos. later) was another check up which proved, once again, that when God heals, it's permanent; it's complete.  He is Healed!  Hallelujah!  Looking forward to more miracles this Friday night at God's Barn.  All are invited.

Al and I are so excited and feel privileged to have been ordained as Pastors through the Freedom Christian Center Church in Charlotte, North Carolina.  On Oct. 12th a special ceremony was held at Pastor Bobby Ray's Church, Assembly of Faith, officially recognizing us as ordained pastors in the Body of Christ.  We see this as, simply, a precious gift from God to us.  We do not take this lightly and know that this step will impact the Kingdom of God in an awesome way.  Can't wait to see what God does!  Here are some photos to enjoy:

Awesome Worship

Hi Everyone!  Just returned from Andrew Wommack's Minister's Conference in beautiful Colorado Springs and what a week it was!  God showed me so many things and answered some questions too!  The worship was awesome and many many lives were touched in so many ways.  What struck me more than anything was Andrew's teaching on HOPE - A Positive Imagination.  WOW!  Proverbs 23:7 says "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he."  The way we see ourselves is the way we will be.  If we see ourselves as sick, then we will stay sick; if we see ourselves as poor, then we will stay poor.  We must make sure that we see ourselves (in our hearts) as God sees us which is prosperous, healthy, whole and complete in every way.  It was great to meet others ministers and create friendships all around the US!  Here are some photos taken of the conference:
