Our Testimonies
How Good is He?
Dec 30, 2008
Oh my gosh! I can't even tell you how good God is! My lawyer asked me to draft up a proposed schedule of visitation. I was very fair and pretty much gave my ex-husband every holiday for 2009 and almost half of summer. My ex said that it was screwy and confusing, and he wanted to stick to the one that he proposed. Yesterday I was so mad at him. I couldn't understand his thinking. I was being so super generous including nearly half of summer vacation. It ...
Hearing Comes Back!
Dec 23, 2008
We heard a great testimony Sunday how a woman visiting our church a few weeks back was prayed for. She was having trouble hearing, and the Lord opened her ears back up!

Women Gets Vision Back!
Dec 07, 2008
What an amazing testimony! Last week we headed down to our Wednesday night group in Cerritos, led at the housing community center. A woman there had lost her sight about 4-5 months ago. We prayed for her, and there was a lot of power--- but she only said she felt different. After we left she began to see clearer and was able to see people! Amazing miracle-- she still has some blurriness so we keep praying for her!
Give to Get
Nov 19, 2008
We have just received an email from a friend that gave us an amazing testimony. We had given him some of John Wimbers materials, teachings, etc. to translate for his mission to Romania. Here is what he has told us! "I am writing this with tears in my eyes at what God is doing here. This morning Mihail and I went to an area where there are 4 Gypsy churches. There are over 1,000 people in those churches and over 1,800 children! Of those children 350 have enrolled in a “Sunday ...
Back From England!

More Healing
Sep 30, 2008
A woman in our church who has had a history of heart problems as well as heart surgery, let us know a week ago that she was having problems again, and feared that she would need another surgery. She was taken to the hospital and was very scared. We sent out a church email to make sure that everyone knew to be praying for her for healing. A few days later, she let us know that she was released from the hospital and did not have to have heart surgery! Her heart looks very good now, which is ...
The Power of the Testimony
Sep 09, 2008
There are so many wonderful things the Lord is doing amongst us; and we're so amazed at his continuing power amongst us. Our prayer times yesterday were so powerful, and great reminder that were carriers of His presence, and how blessed we are. I heard another testimony today of a family that has been broken up for years thats responding to the Lord, and the husband is now trying to follow Jesus, and the marriage is being healed. The excitement in their voice is so fun! Remember to share about ...
Kids Ministering to Kids!
Aug 03, 2008
The youth returned home from their trip up north all excited about what did with them this past week. It was so great to hear them share at church this morning. But the great thing after that was even better when they went into the Jr. High class and gave it all away- what they received they went and then ministered to the younger kids. Some of us were wondering where the kids were after church-- they were still all praying for each other way after we were all done! Best way to get more-- give ...
More Healing!
Jul 31, 2008
Testimonies of healing keep coming in from the various groups that meet through out the week. It's great to hear the physical healing's that are happening, but to hear of relationships being restored, and people finding their place within different groups shows us how much God is really doing. Remembering that God is always interested in healing the whole person is important for us to remember, but also good to be reminded that healing takes place in so many different ways. Remember to let us ...
Childrens Testimony
Jun 19, 2008
A couple of weeks ago, one of the girls in our Sunday School class (Ages 1-6) asked her mommy to come into her class during the prayer time to pray over the other kids. We all shared together and had our story time, then the little girls mommy prophesied over each one of the kids. She said she saw them all as musical instruments and as she prayed over each child, the Lord showed her more about each of them. It was a very powerful time and the kids really saw how special each of them are to ...
Bag of Hope
May 26, 2008
Its so amazing to see how God gives vision to people for things, when we wait for him to be the one to innitiate things. For a while now, we have been praying for benevolence and outreach with the poor, and we are starting to see these things play out in our church. One example of what we're seeing is a thing called Bag of Hope. A woman in our church felt like she was supposed to make bag lunches with a special note on the napkin, for the homeless in L.A. Her and her sister made the ...
Young Adults Ministering!
Apr 21, 2008
Awesome this week! Some of the young adults have been ministering at their school's and at the Orange Circle-Sharing Jesus and praying for people!

Outreach & Sunday Testimonies
Mar 25, 2008
Saturday we had a church outreach and went to the Brea Mall to pray for people. We've been doing these types of outreaches for about a year now, and they never get old. Over and over again we see amazing healings and people's hearts being touched. And all it takes is simply stepping out, taking a chance, talking to people you would usually just pass by, and letting God's heart be your heart. We prayed before we went out together, got words and pictures, and went to see who it was those ...
Two new healings
Mar 21, 2008
Again, and again, we hear wonderful testimonies about what God is doing among us. Its so important that we are sharing these things with eachother, to be reflecting on and remembering and going after the things that God is sharing with us! It is a key to staying alive! One of the men in our church went to an A.A. meeting a few weeks ago, and saw a woman who was using a walker and special shoes for walking. He thought about all of the testimonies he's heard, and about the ...
Our kids service testimonies
Mar 18, 2008
Its been really exciting to see how much God is doing in each individual in our church. But one of the most encouraging parts, is what the Lord is doing among the children. Over the last year, the Lord has been taking our childrens ministry through an incredible growth and learning time. And surely enough, our children have grown in their walk with the Lord on such a grand scale, its amazing. The children have their own worship time on sunday mornings, and during those ...
Love
Mar 18, 2008
As I reflected and sought the Lord for 2008 I believe one of the words I got was for us is to make Love our greatest contention for His Kingdom, His will and our personal Holiness. I believe The Lord is saying as we trust Him in all things and seek His kingdom first His heart is for us to do it with a greater measure of purposeful love, chosen love and deliberate love for one another then we have lived in the past. I saw the word R I S K spelled R einvest I n my S overign K ingdom I ...
Word from Sunday
Mar 18, 2008
The time of the north winds has come. The winnowing fork of the Lord is passing through this nation. He is separating the chaff from the core of the weatherd. This will happen for a time and half-a-time when the outer wrapping of the world is being removed from the kernels of the chosen. The Holy Spirit will be the protection in place of the temporal sheathing around the core. The effect of the world's influence will be diminished as the Spirit peals away useless layers. Be always ready ...
New Wineskins
Mar 18, 2008
"It's time for a new wardrobe. I am handing out new mantles of authority, leadership and miracles. They aren't nearly as comfortable as the old ones and even don't seem to fit that well. They seem too big, but I am going to beef you up a little. I am putting you in places to exercise your gifts of faith, your gifts of healing, your gifts of prophecy, your gifts of teaching and your gifts of worship. Here's the deal, I have already given you these and I will grow you into them. They will ...
His Grace
Mar 18, 2008
Today we were filled with many great words from the Lord. He is clearly using more of us each week to give us His guidance…everyone uniquely gifted by Him. We were shown that, by His grace, we are released to be intimately bonded to Him. He also encouraged us to leave our unwanted "baggage" behind and move ahead with Him. He gave another beautiful image of being in His presence. That we are His favored children and He ...
We just keep growing
Mar 18, 2008
Today was a day of celebration. Watching our young church, just over a year now grow with so many new people has been amazing to watch. One of the greatest things unfolding is how many worship leaders our church is gathering. We love the fact that so many have been learning, or picking their instruments up for the first time in years. From our small beginnings from having a few willing worship people- to now 8 worship leaders that we are enfolding into different areas in our church. ...
Young Adult Testimony
Mar 18, 2008
It's amazing - when our church started we had only 1 young adult - then 2-in fact we had 2 for most of the year. We have been praying for God to move in this area - these 2 young adults began getting vision from the Lord about starting a group - so together we prayed about how it would look - the first week there were 12 young adults - some unsaved, many not filled with the Holy Spirit---yet. This last week - there were over 20! The Lord is coming in so much power in a way where you ...
What we've been up to
Mar 18, 2008
Today we had the Nicholson- who pastor a Vineyard in the Chicago area come be with us- Steve spoke, and the Lord really stirred some people regarding prayer. One of the things we value and will continue to value in our church is having people outside of our community come to share and speak into us as a church. After that Christy took some of the leadership team to a conference up to Redding, Ca for a conference. It was good for those that had never been before; it spoke to us again, ...
Baptisms
Mar 18, 2008
Baptism- Another wonderful night of food, worship and baptizing those new to the Lord, and those that have recently rededicating themselves. Over 60 people came, family and friends of those being baptized-it was an amazing time! The Lord came in so much power, that again it was hard to stand in the water.
Gary & Joy Best
Mar 18, 2008
Gary & Joy Best from Canada were here with us. We had some great things happen from our leadership meetings as well at church on the Sunday. On Sunday, Gary led a time of believing in people, seeing people the way God does. We then did a powerful time of taking people and having various people within the church give them encouraging, prophetic words. It was a great time, many people were blessed! One of the great things was too see how the majority of the church got up and ...
Amazing Testimony
Mar 18, 2008
When the church started, we only had a few people that could participate in leading the church in worship. Over this last year we now have 8 different worship leaders leading at various groups during the week. But another wonderful thing that God is doing is that he's been giving songs to some of the worship leaders! Signs follow us, and one of the signs we know God is moving amongst us is that the songs follow. It's happening and it's been a great blessing to our church!
Changing from the inside out
Mar 18, 2008
We are beginning to see more salvations-in fact we ran out of bibles a few weeks ago as we give them out to new believers. Great thing, is that we almost ran out of Spanish bibles too! We also had a friend of ours, Kathie Walters come minister last Thursday night- the room was packed, and the people were ready to receive. She had some amazing words over people that brought a lot of freedom. But one of the greatest things to see was how excited all the people were to see the others ...
Our One Year Anniversary
Mar 18, 2008
Our 1 year anniversary! We had an amazing time! It's hard to believe that it's been a year since we began this whole journey, but more than that, just to look back & see all God has done has been amazing to share in! We put together our handout, from September 06- September 07, and everything that's happened among us this last year.

Church Service-During church in the morning, the Holy Spirit fell in so much power! An earthquake shook our building a few times and in the midst of it, following- 2 people were saved, and worship broke out!

Our baptism last Friday night [24th] was amazing! We had 43 people come, 8 people got baptized. One kid got saved; we then baptized him right away! It was so powerful, all the family & friends coming to celebrate together. It was amazing to see Gods presence- literally move us around in the water while we baptized---hard to stand at times! We ate great BBQ- worshipped around the pool and the Lord was so present among us! ...
Healings
Mar 18, 2008
During morning church the Lord began to heal many. We prayed for the renewing of our minds, and the power of God came & delivered as we worshipped & prayed for each other. We prayed for healing for stomach & eye condition, but one of the sweetest things that took place was to see the peace of God rest on people. New people getting ministry for the first time never gets old to watch!
A few words
Mar 18, 2008
I saw a fire ball (like a meteorite or something) blazing down, and it came from heaven. It was the power of God. It came to just in front of the stage in the center, but it stopped outside on the roof area. It just hovered there. It was waiting to come in. It waited for desperate cries to the Lord. Patty later told me that she saw a Lion standing outside of the front doors. The lion didn't come in. Instead it said, "I stand at the door and knock."
Update on Tanner
Mar 18, 2008
12 year old boy- struck by car. Christy went w/Rosanna to see Tanner & his mom, as he is now at home. He walked in the room, which in itself is amazing; and the back of his skull has healed on its own. Needs quick healing for his speech, and movement, but he comprehends ---which is amazing! Neurologist calls him the miracle boy!
Healing of the Brain
Mar 18, 2008
At a business meeting the last weekend, one of the ladies said she was seeing spots, and was told she had some spots on her brain. They asked to pray for her [Catholic girl]; she was surprised, but let them. A few days later got a call that her eye had cleared up and the doctors couldn't find any more spots!

Word from sunday night prayer & outreach
Mar 18, 2008
I saw from a bird's eye view that you were leading us up this mountain. I couldn't see who was who but I knew you were leading us up this mountain. This mountain had a pole with a flag on it. I couldn't really make out the flag real clear but I believe it was white (maybe for surrender). The funny thing about this occupation that we were engaging on the mountain is that there was no enemy was on it. It was empty. We just overtook with ease. We just covered it like ants. The mountain wasn't ...
Healing of a broken nose
Mar 18, 2008
Patty had shared that Dustin had collided with another boy at school, broke his nose. Met him at the hospital, she prayed, nothing happened. Prayed again, and each time the pain left more, and the nose straightened out! Then they went to another doctor appointment, was sharing with the doctor what had happened, the doctor said she had been bitten by a spider, went to another doctor earlier that day; she asked them to pray for her. They prayed, the color came back to the area, weird coloring ...

Families

When the daughter went to drop off the parents at the Catholic church, the father, which she said is very uncommon, said that he felt God already and didn't need to go to church again! He also said he felt the love at the church! Also the parents of ...
Prophetic words from Sunday's
Mar 18, 2008
We're seeing some great breakthrough in healing! We're going after more! Week before one of the women at church prayed for a man, encouraged him to pray for the sick. That week, he prayed for his father n law that had a 10 pound mass on his side. Admitted to the hospital, they prayed for him. Said they had to drain something else in his body- made the 10 pound mass shrink all the way down- doctors still don't get it- don't know what happened! The last few weeks at church we've had some ...

This week we had our US National Vineyard conference to where we invited some of our pastor friends throughout the country for good southern BBQ. It was a great time to see everyone, but also we took a bit of time and some of the kids and others prayed for various leaders. It was a great time, many were touched, and I've just gotten neat feedback about those that were ministered too, were really encouraged….It's so important that we minister to our extended church family.
