Prayer Letter #13

15 November 2007

Dear Prayer Partners of The Better Place,

You prayed regarding the County-wide "Transformation Event" that was held in Chautauqua County in August. The county was well represented by the participants and, in addition, four people who represented "Transform Buffalo" in Erie County, NY attended. Christian ministries from throughout the County were represented by displays that were set up around the sanctuary of the host church. Worship was powerful and dynamic. The purpose of this event was clearly met as participants gained a clearer revelation of what God is doing corporately to bring His revival to the region and as intercessors and leaders in ministry "found" each other and established ties that will keep them working together for the Kingdom in this region. - Because of this Event, intercessors from throughout the county are now meeting together for prayer each Monday in the prayer room of the Samaritan House in Sinclairville (in the geographic center of the county). - Thank you for your prayers; God heard and answered!

You prayed about the Pastors' Prayer Summit that was scheduled for three days in September. This had to be postponed due to low registrations. Thank God, we were able to quickly set new dates (11-13 February 2008) as God favored us. We can see God's hand in all of this. Praise God also because of the great publicity the ministry of The Better Place received through this; we were publicized on the Family Life Network radio station throughout western New York and Pennsylvania for a solid week. Many people came to me to tell me they had heard the ads. - Thank you for your prayers; God heard and answered! And please keep the February Summit in your prayers. Also, if you are a pastor, go to our web site and register now. If you are a lay person, please direct your pastor to our web site to get registered now for the February Pastors' Prayer Summit. Thank you!

You prayed for a "Building His House of Prayer" workshop that I led at the Jamestown Healing Word Church in October. God was graciously, wonderfully and dynamically present throughout the weekend at Healing Word Church. The people were attentive and open to what the Spirit had to say. I am confident this congregation will continue to grow strong as a part of God's House of prayer. - Thank you for your prayers; God heard and answered!

It is impossible for the Church to effectively fulfill the commission Christ has given us if we are not actively engaged in the ministry of inner healing and deliverance. For this reason I see the Agape Prayer Ministry as a key component of the ministries that The Better Place offers on an ongoing basis. On November 2^nd and 3^rd we sponsored an Agape Prayer Ministry Training School. To put it mildly, God's favor was all over this School that served participants from Chautauqua and Warren counties in NY and PA. You may read more about this most recent School in the NEWS section at our web site and you may read about this ministry in the EQUIPPING THE CHURCH pages at our web site. - Please keep this on-going ministry in your prayers.

I was privileged to be taking my turn in our Healing Rooms one recent Tuesday when a man came with a medical diagnosis of compressed disks in his back. His doctor had scheduled surgery for him. He was in so much pain (pain shooting down his legs) that he could not stand for prayer; he had to sit. God healed him completely on the spot as soon as I commanded the infirmity to leave and spoke healing. He went out literally dancing and glorifying God to the other men who were in our waiting room. Those men then received their healing that same day too! - A man who had been diagnosed by medical personnel as having double angina came to our healing rooms, then after a return visit to his doctor, he contacted our Healing Rooms director (MaryAnn Dahlbeck) to report that he had been completely healed. - On another occasion an elderly woman who was blind was brought in. There was no immediate manifestation of her healing while she was there but a couple weeks later when MaryAnn telephoned her to see how she was doing she reported that her sight had been completely restored. - And so it goes. Many weeks we do not have anyone come to the Healing Rooms but whenever they do come Jesus always meets them! - Thank you for your continued prayers for all who minister as a part of this God-glorifying ministry.
