The Blind See and the Deaf Hear!

These are a couple of testimonies from a recent ministry trip that Pastor Marc made to a church in LaGrande, Oregon.


A 58 year old Vietnam vet was at the meeting who had lost over 80% hearing in his right ear and 40% in his left ear and was nearly deaf. After prayer, the next week he received a phone call and instead of putting the phone to his working left ear, he put it to his non working right. He discovered he could hear perfectly in both ears!

An older lady was also in the meeting who had vision loss in both eyes but especially in one. Later that week she was to go to an eye doctor to see what they could do for her vision and the Ophthalmologist discovered her eyesight was perfectly normal and didn't understand how it could have changed so drastically! She can see fine!

Miracle Weight Loss!

This is the testimony from one of our street teams, out and about in the neighborhoods surrounding Woodstock.


Earlier in the week, we went to visit some believers in a neighborhood we have been in several times before. We met up with a girl that we hadn’t seen for about a month and started asking how she was. Last month, we had the awesome privilege of leading her to Jesus. Her story was remarkable in that she had suffered a bunch of sexual abuse at the hands of her father and several other men. She was emotionally devastated and totally wrapped up in anger and unforgiveness. We spoke to her about the Lord’s forgiveness and she gave her life to Jesus and got powerfully delivered from the anger and bitterness. What we didn’t know and just found out is that after she met the Lord and we went home, she got on the phone and confronted all of the men that had raped and abused her, even her father. While she was on the phone, she released forgiveness, let go of her anger and told us that she felt 100lbs. lighter! That’s not unusual as we have seen many people after deliverance remark that they felt lighter.

What was unusual is what happened over the next thirty two days. We had not had the chance to meet up with her in a little over a month and finally got in touch with her. When we met with her, her voice was different, her countenance was different and she was beaming! We couldn’t quite place the dramatic change, but found out when her sister (who has yet to meet the Lord) told us what was going on. Get this, in thirty two days; she had lost over 50 pounds! That’s over one and a half pounds a day! We asked her about her diet and she told us that she was eating, just not as much as she used to, but the pounds were just falling off of her! This was a witness to the rest of the family and her sister was remarking about the power of God, even to lose weight! This opened the door for us to come back and have a house church with their family. Good fruit!

Cataracts Dissolved!

This is the testimony from one of our street teams that recently went to a local hospital to see the Kingdom of God break out.


We walked by an elderly woman in a wheelchair, being pushed by a younger woman that we later found out to be her daughter. We asked the older lady why she was in the wheelchair and she told us that she had severe asthma that caused her to lose her breath when she would walk, thus confining her to the chair. We told her about the Kingdom of God and asked if we could pray for her. She agreed and while praying, my buddy Brian got a word of knowledge and asked her if she had diabetes. She nods yes. So we go to work, calling the fire and power of God to heal the asthma and drive out diabetes and suddenly her eyes opened up real wide. Right in front of our eyes, we watched her eyes go from a milky blue to a bright, clear blue. She started exclaiming, “I can see! I can see!” Brian and I looked at each other and asked her, “What’s going on with your eyes?” She starts saying, “The sky is blue! The sky, it’s so blue!” Come to find out, she had cataracts and couldn’t see, but as we prayed for the asthma and diabetes, the Lord opened her eyes! I guarantee you that we were as surprised as she was!

We’re getting used to seeing God answer prayer, but it’s a new experience for God to heal someone of something we weren’t even asking for!

Revival At The Airport!

This is the testimony from Pastor Marc of an outbreak of the Kingdom during a layover in the San Francisco airport.

When I was recently flying out of the SF airport they announced my plane was cancelled. I would be stuck in the terminal for around 6 hours. Initially I was somewhat irritated, and then I thought: The Lord must want to bring His power to somebody in this terminal. I walked around the terminal and prayed for a lady I noticed who had a bad ankle and was walking with a limp when I entered. She allowed me to pray for her ankle and the fire of God came on here and some pain left, but that was about it. I kept my eyes out for somebody to minister to.

Then I noticed a middle-aged man, his mother and another lady his age with bags from Kauai. I used the Kauai bag as an entrance point to a conversation, then after a few minutes, asked him why he was in the wheel chair? He said it was some disease he has since he was four. I told him that the Lord wanted him to live a normal life of walking and to be out of the wheel chair. He agreed to let me pray so when I did, his face got flush red and power went into him. I asked him to get out and see if he could do something he had not done before. He moved his legs then stood up. I asked him if he had walked recently but needed the wheelchair as he got fatigued. I told him to ditch his wheelchair. He walked a little then sat down. Then his mother and cousin chimed in to our conversation. His mother said, "I believe in God and had a dream about Jesus and the cross. I interpreted it for her; she started crying and said she wanted Jesus! Then the cousin said, "We were talking earlier that there are many ways to heaven and to God". I said "NO, you are wrong! Jesus is the only way to heaven and none of the others: Mohammed, Buddha or Krishna were ever raised from the dead!" She immediately agreed. Then I got a word of knowledge for the cousin of the man that she was embittered because her children had been on drugs had hurt her so badly and that she must forgive them. She started crying and agreed!

Within a few seconds I was leading her to renounce her bitterness and forgive her kids, then prayed for her to invite Jesus in! The mom of the man asked if she could pray, then the man in the wheelchair was now crying and grabbing my shirt, was asking me to pray for him too! Three people were sobbing and wanting Jesus right there in the SF connection terminal. I had them all pray and invite Jesus in and they all were fire-red in the face, crying and sobbing. They kept thanking me and saying that they saw God on me. I told them I was not an angel but the Lord visited them all today!

Dead Baby Lives!

This is the testimony from a Pastor in LaGrande, Oregon, where Pastor Marc was just ministering.


I wanted to tell you about an amazing miracle that happened here recently. Tiffany (from youth group...shorter & fiery red hair) heard some rumors about a friend of her's being pregnant. When she asked her about it, the girl was very upset b/c she had just found out that she had many cysts on her ovaries and that they could not find the babies heartbeat and that the baby was dead. Tiffany talked to her and then prayed for her that cysts would be gone and the baby would live. When the girl when to a specialist so they could figure out how to flush the fetus out of her body they first did an ultrasound and found that not only were her ovaries just fine with no cysts but the baby was alive and well...well enough to not hold still for the ultrasound!

Jesus is alive!

Fibromyalgia Healed!

A lady in our church regularly walks her neighborhood, praying for a release of God's Kingdom. While walking one day, she ran into a lady who was nearly incapacitated from fibromyalgia. She simply prayed that the Kingdom of God would come into her body and blssed her. A couple weeks later, she received a knock on her door. It was the lady she had prayed for testifying that she is now totally healed and has no pain!

Since that time, others in the neighborhood have come to her house, asking for healing and a word from God.

Thank you Jesus!

Acid Reflux Healed!

Here is the testimony of a lady who was recently healed while attending a church meeting:


I got healed from Acid Reflux at Northgate last Sunday. Praise the Lord!!!

A couple on the ministry team prayed for me and I felt a nice warm heat saturate my stomach area and head. It was so soothing! One of them got a word that it was tied to Satan wreaking havoc and also trying to keep me from easily digesting God’s Word. Previously, I was getting up 2 times a night and downing all kinds of meds trying to get relief. I have lived with this condition for 3 years and the last 6 months have felt horrible to the point that I made a Gastro appointment last Thursday and now I can cancel it.

Praise the Lord!!!
