Hallelujah! Byron was the first person in the doors of New Covenant on Sunday morning!
He even got a new shirt for church from someone!
We ministered in their Sunday morning service, teaching and preaching on the importance of submitting to the vision of the house, the man and woman of God and how that is all connected to fulfilling your destiny.
After the message, as we prayed for the people of New Covenant,
Brother Smith
Sister G
and Sister Donna
all were healed of deafness or pain in their ears!
Byron recommitted himself to follow God and claimed Pastor White as his man of God!
Sunday night, we were back in Topsham.
Perla and Lee
The church in Wanstead joined us there. It was good to see Pastor and Mother Stevens again.
(Should I get a hat?)
New Covenant from Mandeville also came and all three churches joined together for a great time of worship.
God showed up and God showed off!
The people were encouraged by the Word of God. There was another man healed in his ears that night. As we prayed for the people, the presence and power of God fell and filled all the believers anew. Everyone was refreshed by the Power of the Holy Spirit.
The mission work of Revival Fires Fellowship International and Overflowing Life Christian Center is bearing much fruit in Jamaica.
When it is time to give to missions, we ask that you remember the faces and places we have shared with you today. Your giving facilitates these good works.
The churches in Jamaica are moving forward in God.
Come back this week for videos from our trip...

What Happened?
If you have been here before, then you just noticed that this place looks different.
Well, you did not click on the wrong bookmark. It's just that we are undergoing some changes.
The focus of our ministry is changing and this blog will be changing with it. The reason for that is that this blog will be a part of the new things going on.
While we can not reveal all the great things that God has for us at this time, we can share some.
We have released, and been released from, the fellowship here in Easton. After three summers of canvassing, street witnessing and preaching, and teaching the Word, we have seen little, if any fruit. It is time to move on.
There are other areas in which our efforts, we believe, would be of better use for the advancing of His Kingdom. We love Easton. We will still be here. It is our home. We will continue to be available here. But, there are new opportunities just around the corner.
For those of you who I know that read this blog, this post probably means very little. For those who will come, it will provide a history necessary for understanding.
'Stay tuned' for more information on our newest endeavors....
Pastor John & Perla

Open Air Video
We did another Open Air at Easton Heritage Days in Easton, PA.
We started with trivia for cash - that always draws a crowd. In today's economy, it worked VERY quickly. As soon as I said "Does anyone here need some money?", I had a crowd of 8 people in 1 second and that's no exaggeration. As I proceeded, the crowd quickly grew to over 30 people. Some people won some money, some did not. All of them heard the gospel. Some came and spoke to us afterward. It was a success. We had fun afterwards and got to talk to some other people also. The fire is spreading in Easton!
The sound is very poor (sorry), but you can get an idea of what we're doing and the crowd, location, etc. You can definitely hear me presenting the gospel at about the 4:30 mark in the video. We'll try some different techniques for recording next time.
