The Commons site continues to be popular as more people are stopping for ministry, and some return with more people. We are honored to pray for those who are hungry for a touch from God and to give a word to those hungry to hear His voice. These are desparate times for many and especially so for those who don’t know Jesus, Prince of Peace. Whenever you feel a nudge from the Lord to speak or to pray for someone, or even to smile at someone in the store, do it! He has gone before you and it will minister more than you can imagine. People respond to being seen in a world that works to keep us disconnected. God sees us, each one of us, and He wants us to know that. In the Free Prayer trailer, when He has us say to someone, “I see you,” that truth never fails to bring tears and more often than not, surrender to His previously-unknown love.

As soon as we were set up at The Commons in Spencer today at noon, a man and woman appeared and asked if we pray for people! We had an intense session with the woman who asked a lot of questions and with whom we shared all Jesus was telling us in response. It was good and we know she will return for deliverance and freedom! We loved her and her boyfriend. We did a couple of errands after the Lord told us to pack up and the third stop was a grocery store. While Karen went in to shop, Emil stayed in the Jeep with the trailer. The Lord showed him where and how to park, very visible from the busy street. Almost immediately two women pulled in and asked if Emil was ministering right then and he said, “Always!” and within a half an hour the Lord had set them both free from things the enemy had plagued them with for years! God is GOOD! They were saying good-bye to Emil as Karen walked out of the store! God’s timing is perfect!

We set up Free Prayer 2 days last week at our new site, The Commons in Spencer, Iowa, and had good ministry time with several people who stopped! We are very excited to be out. Our home group Friday night was great and afterwards, the rain came hard and we woke up to green grass, a green grove of trees, an influx of summertime birds (orioles, grosbeaks, goldfinches, barn swallows, Harris’ sparrows for you bird lovers). The new and fresh season has begun! The rains will continue through tomorrow (Monday), but we will be back out with the trailer Tuesday!

It looks like the weather is finally cooperating–dare I say spring has finally come???!!! We will be setting up Free Prayer in The Commons parking lot in Spencer, Iowa starting next week and we are very excited to be back out with the Free Prayer trailer! Temps are supposed to be in the 70s during the day and 50s at night. Now we are praying that the winds stay reasonable as well! Hoping springtime has come to you, too–it’s been a long, hard winter here and we know it’s been much worse in many places around the country. We are so thankful that God watches over His kids.

We were busy at the Orange City Iowa revival Saturday evening with people coming to the trailer for prayer, one after another, from before the service, throughout the service, and continuing after the service. There were many needs and God met them all! He is so good!

We love this picture, taken by a friend who was in the service. He looked out in time to see the sunset over the trailer. He said it looked like fire coming out of the vent!

We’ve been very busy this summer with Revival events! And they have been awesome! Our hearts are also on the roadside, however, and we were happy to be back out today, set up in Sioux Rapids on Hwy 71. Several people honked and waved! We plan to be out there regularly now. We have 3 revivals in Iowa through September, one this Saturday in Orange City, the next one September 10th in Spirit Lake, and the third one on our own acreage on September 24th! If you’re in the neighborhood, please come and bring your friends! It’s going to be a fantastic evening, experiencing God!

Many came to Jesus for the first time through the revival meetings, and healings and miracles happened as well–a woman was healed of lupus and another healed of MS! And in the Free Prayer trailer, we were busy, too! People came who had been used, abused, thrown away, accused, people whose relatives had been murdered, people who still carried the guilt of hard life-changing decisions made years ago, people with illnesses from mild to extreme. And after encountering Jesus, they left free—from physical conditions, from emotional scars, from mental torment! His love is like no other—it turns mourning into dancing! We can’t stop praising Him and lifting Him high!

Friday we set up the Free Prayer trailer in the middle of Alton, Iowa. It was the trial run for the solar panels which were installed just that morning, and they worked beautifully!!! We were out for over four hours and prayed for 6 people. One man asked where we go to church and he and his wife came to the Sunday service! This Friday through Sunday morning we will be set up in LuVerne, MN plus leading afternoon city outreaches Friday and Saturday. We are praying for the extreme heat forecasted to be spiritual, not physical—the fire of the Holy Spirit drawing people to Jesus and a cooldown of the projected 90+ degree temps with high humidity!

Last Friday night, July 1st, we set up the Free Prayer trailer at the Okoboji Revival sponsored by Activation Church in Orange City. Had a great turnout, incredible worship and fantastic speakers! We had a line waiting outside the trailer for most of the evening. We saw everything from God answering prayers for healing of a brain tumor, emotional issues, psychological issues, family problems, prayers of repentance, and one person came to the realization that he had never asked Jesus into his heart and did so right then! It was a wonderful evening with people from Activation Church joining us to pray for everyone who wanted prayer! God is teaching us a new word for 2022: WOW!!! All the way home, as we talked about the people who wanted prayer and the way God answered, we heard ourselves repeatedly saying, “WOW, Lord, You’re amazing!”

We just returned from the 2-day Field of Dreams Revival in Dyersville. One of the pastors of our church, Activation Church in Orange City, hosted the event and invited us to participate. We set up the trailer at the best possible spot, between porta-potties and the ice cream truck! We ministered Saturday for 8 straight hours to 16 different people who were transformed and set free by the Lord through emotional and physical healing, deliverance and prophetic words! It was absolutely amazing! Because of this event, we have been invited to set up Free Prayer at 5 more events this summer plus 2 days at RAGBRAI (the annual bicycle ride across Iowa). We are excited and so grateful to God to be a part of His revival!
