RAGBRAI, The Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Race Across Iowa, is coming through Storm Lake this summer!  The race begins in Sioux City on July 19th and our community of Storm Lake is the first overnight stop on this week long ride.  Last year we set up free prayer in Mason City, IA and got to see this spectacle for the first time.  This year we know more what it will be like, and plan to take some advice given us by a rider last year that if we move free prayer along the route through the week, bikers will see us more and have more opportunities to come for that Divine appointment with The Lord!  Now is the time of prayer and preparation for this big event.

While at church yesterday Emil prayed for a guy who sought prayer for his mind and memory loss which made him fearful of alzheimers, but he also had hearing loss of 60% in one ear and 20% in the other.  Emil saw a picture of a deaf and dumb spirit attaching itself to this man, and once delivered of it his mind became completely clear.  Then Emil prayed for his hearing and it was completely restored.  Thank You Jesus!

Emil returned from a 2-day ministry trip Sunday night and as he related all the things God had done and said through him and we wrote them down,  we realized he had put in as many hours of ministry in two days as we do on the roadside in a week! And it’s normally that way when we minister out-of-town.  God always finds a way to use us through the freezing-cold days of winter! We are grateful and humbled.

We had our first international ministry session yesterday by phone–a lady from Alberta, Canada! Thank You, Lord, for what You did for her.  You are so good!

Emil was elected Chaplain of our CMA chapter for 2015. He attends a new/old officer meeting Saturday afternoon, followed by our chapter Christmas dinner. His duties begin January 1st.

The website was offline for a brief time for maintenance but we are back now! October was busy and we are working on getting out a newsletter.  We were given a prophetic word a week ago that said the momentum was growing that very night and the next day we were feeling it!  Many exciting miracles and healings going on!

Got a text from a lady we prayed for Friday who said she was totally healed–her back, foot, and hip. She was due for hip replacement but has canceled her doctor appointment! TY Lord!

Had a great time Sunday at the Mason City Vineyard. Got to preach on the gifts of the Holy Spirit and then the Holy Spirit demonstrated His power with words and healing! It is awesome serving a God who backs up His Word!

We are on our way to Mason City, Iowa for prophetic prayer appointments this afternoon and Emil will preach tomorrow at the Vineyard there. Looking forward to what God will do!

We were thrilled to have 169 people buy tickets to Holy Ghost movie last night! It took some work to promote it but we are so excited about the response to the movie by those who attended. We were thanked over and over again after the show and again this morning through email and texts. Thank You, Lord, for this opportunity to expose people to your great works through the Holy Spirit in your people.
