Presence of God

The Holy Spirit led our Friday night home group! We always pray for His presence to intensify, and Friday night His presence was strong from the beginning and only got stronger as the evening progressed. There were miraculous deliverances and healings and the Lord had a specific word for every person there! Joy and praise went home with each person and continued to be shared with each other Saturday and into Sunday! God is so merciful and gracious. He sees us!

Our Testimony Published!

We were surprised to find our testimony of our new trailer published in the June Voice of the Covenant magazine! It was completely unexpected! One person read it and looked up the ministry on the internet, subscribed to our newsletter, and wrote us a very encouraging email because of it. Thank You so much, Lord!

On the Road!

The new trailer’s maiden voyage on Easter Sunday was a great success! We were out for hours at our regular Sunday Spencer Iowa location, The Commons. Four people stopped for prayer and one received salvation! The heater and carpet make it warm and cozy, and it is so roomy, it feels extravagant! It is so much more than we envisioned!

Graphics are Beautiful!

We drove the trailer home this evening with its new graphics, and we couldn’t be more pleased! Today the flooring is being put in and the total interior could be done by Friday. We pray so as we would like to be set up in it Sunday morning at the site where we have been the past few Sundays. It has been a good spot and several people have stopped!

Trailer Update

Our new orange trailer is in the shop this week in Orange City! Solar is being installed as well as all the wiring for lights, etc. Next Wednesday the graphics will be applied.

And then our construction guys will lay the flooring and build out the room for the porta potty and storage. THEN we will be on the roadside with it! We are excited to see the progress!

Sunday Set-Up a Success

We got a lot of visibility and drew a lot of attention Sunday morning when we set up Free Prayer at The Commons in Spencer at 10 am. It turned out the only business open on the whole huge strip mall parking lot was a drive-up coffee place and was it ever busy! There was a window on each side of the small building with 5-7 cars in line for each window, and the lines went out to the street at times. And what did they have to look at? Us!!! Our trailer! The lines didn’t let up until after 1:00pm, when they closed! One woman stopped and received ministry for the deep depression she felt when she came in and after the Lord ministered to her, she left feeling a heavy weight had lifted off of her. She experienced such freedom! There were several vehicles that went around the parking lot and by us a few times but didn’t stop. We will be out next week, same time and place, praying that those who are being drawn by Jesus will stop this time!

Expansion!

God gave us a vision for 2024 for a bigger trailer and a garage in which to house it! This trailer will be delivered to us next week, courtesy of ministry partners who provided the money to pay for it! We are so excited! It is 7’x16′, which is 6′ longer than our present trailer and 1′ wider. This will allow us more room for more people in the trailer at one time, and another team praying for people who stop! We are going to start setting up on Sunday mornings in order to BE the church. God has shown us it is going to be a very big year for salvations, deliverances, and miracles! We will update here with build out pictures as we did for our first trailer, which btw we are keeping to set up on smaller sites as needed! If you would like to give toward our new garage, we would be most grateful! See our Donations page.

Posted on Facebook January 16th:

Science says that we need at least 4 basic elements to survive.

  1. Water
  2. Air
  3. Food
  4. Light

And look what the Bible tells us about Jesus.

  1. I Am the Living Water
  2. I Am the Breath of Life
  3. I Am the Bread of Life
  4. I Am the Light of the World

Science was right, we need Jesus to live.

Why a Child?

The Holy Spirit revealed to Simeon who Jesus was, what He was going to do, and how great He would be. And yet because Jesus was in the form of a little helpless baby, Simeon ran over and picked Him up! (Luke 2:25-32) Simeon held GOD in his arms that day! That was God’s intent! Jesus came as a baby so that we could approach Him the same way Simeon did, without fear or reservation on our part. He was fully approachable, incredibly lovable, totally accessible!

Jesus came to be an ordinary person before He became our Savior. Jesus came not as a warrior, not as a ruler. Instead, He came in the fullness and the height of innocence. Jesus first needed help from His parents to teach Him how to walk. Then Jesus taught us how to walk in this world with the Father! Jesus came first to be one of us, someone who identified with us, and someone with whom we could identify.

Jesus coming as a child means that He is able not only to understand adults but children as well. Jesus knows what it is like to be a two-year-old, to be 12 years old, to be 18 years old. And Jesus knows what it is like to be 30 years old. Jesus can relate to anyone and everyone, no matter what our age.

Jesus knows what it is like to have trials and hard times, to have responsibilities. Jesus affirms us, “Yep, it’s really like that down there!” Why can He say this? Because Jesus walked a mile in our shoes!

So why did Jesus come as a child? Hebrews 4:14-16, “Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are–yet was without sin. 16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”

Merry Christmas from Emil and Karen!
