Give Thanks for Two Great Saints who Died in the Lord – Betty Brice and Betsy Camp

When I became Executive Director of PRMI in 1990, I found myself covered by two wonderful intercessors, Betty Brice and Betsy Camp. For years they were major builders of this work in the Kingdom of God, each with their very different gifts and personalities. I am deeply indebted to both of them for their support of this ministry and for me and my family over all these years. Read the rest of this entry »

Welcome Susie Gibbs

Welcome Suzi Gibbs to our PRMI Black Mountain Office Staff!

We have prayed for months for the Lord to raise up just the right person to join our team in the Black Mountain PRMI office. The Lord sent us Suzi Gibbs, a member of Riceville Presbyterian Church and a person with just the right gifts needed for the office. Most of all she brings a vital faith in Jesus Christ and was touched by the Holy Spirit at PRMI events at her church. She is a person of prayer who readily joins in the spiritual dimension of this work.

(By the way just because people are no longer full time on staff does not mean that they are forgotten! So please continue your prayers for Susan Rice who served in this role of bookkeeper for ten years. Ask God’s blessings upon her as she is enjoying being retired. Also continue to pray for Jill Simms who served as a wonderful volunteer for years. John continues to need prayer for his debilitating medical condition. Jill continues to serve in advancing Kingdom of God as a volunteer in other ministries that are serving Jesus Christ).

Healing Love of Jesus Christ is Real!

Giving praise for all that Jesus did at the Healing Week at the Community of the Cross.

12:06 min video of the Ministry Team, giving glory to Jesus Christ for the way He worked in healing ministry.

While this does not provide scientific proof of healing ministry – it certainly does provide eye witness reports of the activity of Jesus working through the Holy Spirit in ways that we could observe and the positive results we saw. This stuff is real! Read the rest of this entry »

Spiritual Warfare and Holy Spirit-Empowered Leadership

By bradl · Saturday, July 3rd, 2010 · No Comments »

Report by Gary L. Wybenga

Note: This equipping opportunity took place in the Ukraine, pictured in the map below, but due to religious oppression in some Eurasia countries, intentionally I was vague about locations and did not use student names in this report. We can also not offer any photos. Ask for special guidance of the Holy Spirit as to how to pray and participate in the work of advancing the Gospel of Jesus Christ where we cannot expose the details.

I best describe last week’s Dunamis teaching event in Eurasia as a tremendous advancement of God’s Kingdom against the Kingdom of Darkness. As we glorified the Lord and exalted Jesus Christ, our Father extremely blessed us. To those who of you who interceded for the conference—thank you. God said YES to your prayers!

Praying For Open Doors – July 3rd

By bradl · Saturday, July 3rd, 2010 · No Comments »

Open Doors

St. Paul often asked his intercessors to pray for doors to open. For example, “And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. (Colossians 4:3 NIV) We need you to join us in praying for open doors for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and then when they do open the guidance and the means to go through them!

Is the Holy Spirit calling you to go on a mission trip to advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

This does not have to be across oceans, it may be to our own youth and to people right in our own midst. Even reaching out with the Gospel to another Mission Field in the Power of the Holy Spirit – Youth Subcultures.
