“I was baptized as a baby, grew up in a strong Christ-centered family, my parents were leaders at the church I grew up in. I went to Sunday school, VBS, confirmation, youth group, and attended church nearly every weekend. I say attended church loosely because while I was physically standing there, I did not engage…

“I had cranked my lower back about 9 months ago and since then I have had trouble standing for long periods. Recently, I asked my small group to gather around me and pray for healing. As soon as they prayed, I felt my lower back rotate and my whole posture feels different. God healed me! Wow!”…

“While I was listening to Brenda Gatlin teach a recent Power healing class, she spoke about kinds of sicknesses we might have and how to reach healing. As she named them, I gasped, I realized I had a sickness of emotion as a result of being sinned against. The sins against me from my past…

“This past weekend, one of my volunteers mentioned he wasn’t feeling well. I suggested he go to the front for prayer during ministry time. He said he’d never done that before. Later, when I was on the Prayer Ministry Team, he came up to me for prayer. When we finished praying, he said he could…

I had a few folks from our staff pray for it a couple times, and you know what? No pain! God brings healing faithfully to my nerves and bones. Thank you God!” —Anthony Schaefer

“A part of being the Missions pastor here at the Vineyard is an opportunity to go on missions trips to Mexico. I’ve been there over 10 times. On our last trip in January 2018, I began feeling like all those years of being there and having relationships even if only for 10 days at a time…

“The last six months, at least, have been a journey of God highlighting to me specific areas of brokenness or where I have a tendency to respond out of my false self rather than true self. More specifically, he has highlighted my tendency to get defensive when I don’t feel valued or even when someone…

“Recently, I became Power of Attorney to four people & a dog in a very short period of time. I lost my job due to a family emergency leave because my daughter and grandson were in protective custody due to a domestic abuse situation. My mother and brother lost everything in one day to a…
