Wow! We have led or been a part of leading 247 people to the Lord Jesus this year. Recently we had the privilege of hosting our great friend and Pastor, Ken Jumper, of the Harvest and Brent Brooks from Upside Down in Lexington, South Carolina. We arranged to hold a special youth event where Brent would share his amazing testimony with young people from the St. Bernard and the Ninth Ward. We had arranged for Brent to speak to a small assembly at a local high school, but that soon turned into five engagements at four public schools once officials heard Brent’s story. At the youth event held at World Prayer Tabernacle in Chalmette,  181 attended and 35 responded to the invitation. Go God! School officials want Brent to come back and speak in every school in the community.

We also hosted a special “meet our Pastor” night and more than 50 friends and team members attended, including nine local Pastors. Pastor Ken shared a word with everyone that was well received. We also arranged a fishing trip for Pastor and Brent. Together we caught 40 speckled trout, and that was a bad day of fishing in Southeast Louisiana.

St. Bernard Pastors Coalition

As St. Bernard approaches one of the biggest elections in recent history, the St. Bernard Pastors Coalition held a public forum for candidates for Parish President and Sheriff.  Keith was among five local pastors asking the candidates questions. Local residents called it the best candidate forum as the pastors insured that candidates focused on the issues and not their opponents.

Jesus the Healer

Hebrews 13:8 says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”  This verse gives us proof that Jesus is still in the healing business. In Healing Rooms we know beyond a shadow of a doubt the He heals. Over the last two months we’ve watched  the Lord heal cancer, shrink tumors, and relieve  chronic neck pain. While visiting us on a short weekend trip, Pastor Indar and Christine Singh of the Harvest in Lexington, South Carolina, witnessed as a lady suffering arthritis slowly walk into our Healing Rooms ministry. Her countenance was  dim and she had to use a cane to walk. Less then 20 minutes later she walked out with a bright countenance and  holding her cane above her head while giving God the glory. Healing is part of normal Christianity. Yeah God!

We are excited to announce that we have begun our Sozo ministry in Healing Rooms. Sozo, the Greek word for salvation that means saved, healed, and delivered, is a deep inner healing ministry that uses Holy Spirit led prayers to help people get beyond deep emotional wounds. One of our very first sessions our team helped a woman find freedom from fear of abandonment that was the result of trauma she experienced during hurricane Katrina more than six years ago.  That’s my King! We are booked through the end of the year and we have already more than doubled the amount of clients we saw in 2010. Some people drive more than an hour to receive ministry at the Healing Rooms.

Progress

As we continue to operate Healing Rooms ministry more than 50 minutes away from our home , we are making progress on the Healing Center. We were able to finish the fire wall required by the the Fire Marshal, and we were blessed by our contractor who sprayed every room in the Center with foam insulation. Our rooms will now be sound proofed! The blessings is, it didn’t cost our ministry a dime. The contractor sees the value of what we are doing and wants to be a part of God’s work.

Churches in and near Baton Rouge, are ready to begin Healing Rooms. These last two months we have spent a bit of time in meetings with church leaders and preaching in churches in Baton Rouge about the healing power of Jesus. Three churches are coming to a future training in January after which we will begin the process of opening the first Healing Rooms in the capitol city.

We have entered the fourth month of our radio ministry “Hidden Treasures” which you can listen to live at kagyradio.com on Sunday evenings at 5:30pm Central Time or on our archived Hidden Treasures page on this site.

Prayer and closing

Cindi and I appreciate your prayers for us and this ministry as we have many pressing needs. The biggest need we have is the funding to complete the Healing Center. We have looked for funding in many places and will continue to seek funding sources that line-up with our statement of faith and our vision. Because of an over-site in an estimation, we now need   $17,750  to complete the building. You can find a list of projects on the LHC tab on this site.

We also need to increase our monthly support. Our current monthly support is around $1,100 up from $950 earlier this year, but we need still need $1,575 additional support each month. This is a very conservative amount of money to fund ministry and sustain ourselves, but God always seems to come through.

If you sense the Lord leading you to give, you can do so by clicking on our contact & support tab to donate online or by sending your donation to us through the mail.

We appreciate your prayers and support and pray God’s richest blessings on you and yours.

Keith and Cindi
