PRAISE REPORTS

January 2001 Praise Report

We were in Alert Bay, B.C., praying in the New Year at the local Native Church. As the Spirit of God was moving in our midst, we witnessed people's lives being changed, and a fresh hunger being stirred up from within the local people there on the reserve. It was a great gospel meeting! The next night we ministered at the Coffee House Church on the reserve in Port Hardy on Vancouver Island. What a blessing it is to see tears, and hands raised in the air as the Lord touched hearts, and lovingly embracing those that seek Him. Praise the Lord!

While at a meeting at the Street Church on East Hastings in Vancouver, we met an evangelist from Ontario who was ministering after fasting for 40 days. The annointing of God was mighty during those meetings, and street people came to the altar to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior! This same evangelist said we are going to work together soon. That confirmed what the Lord said to both Nellie and I about his ministry and ours!

We travelled back to Vancouver Island and had powerful meetings again in Port Hardy. The people there are so hungry for the word of God, and over time, we have seen changes in their lives, and their strides in their walk with Jesus have become stronger!

As of January 30, our church in Vancouver is in day 21 of a 40 day corporate fast. God is restoring lives, and since day one of the fast, our friend Sandy who suffered arthritic pain, has been set free from all pain! Praise the Lord! We just finished a series of meetings at the church, and the power of God was being manifested. That power of His annointing continues today!

Please pray for us as we travel to Ontario to continue the work that the Lord has called us to do. There are many stops on the way, and we want to continue to see lives changed during the meetings we attend and those that we minister at. Blessings on you!

We just arrived from a fruitful trip to Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota on August 19 in time for a welcome home BBQ and another powerful Holy Ghost Service at our church here in Thunder Bay, Ontario.

Last month we left Thunder Bay for five nights of tent meetings on our reserve in Shoal Lake, Ontario. Three people got saved, recieved the baptism of the Holy Ghost and they also got baptized in the beautiful waters of Shoal Lake too! Power move of God!

We then attended two nights of RW Schambach meetings in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The awesome presence of God touched many and healings took place throughout the meetings. I met Brother Schambach on the street immediately after the service and we shook hands. I felt the power of the anointing come from him and I knew that our ministry would never be the same. Since then, more people that we have come in contact with have become saved or returned back to the Lord in repentence!

We then travelled to Fort Yates, North Dakota and attended tent meetings there. We spent a few days with friends and enjoyed good fellowship with one another. While on the lawn one evening, an intoxicated man was passing by and came and spent time with us. He said he felt drawn to come and visit us, and also said that he never walks in this area. As I ministered to him, the effects of alcohol were diminished, and he accected Jesus Christ into his life right there. His tears fell and he became sober, picked up the guitar and sang a beautiful song of repentence!

As the week progressed, we travelled to Crow Agency, Montana for five nights of tent meetings. We met many friends from Alert Bay, B.C., and from Manitoba. I spoke to another brother and he confirmed that this camp meeting was more full of the Word of God than most camp meetings we have been to all summer. Nellie and I shared our testimonies, preachamonies and also lead praise and worship. I also got healed of a deadly allergy of bee stings. When the meeting was over one night, I got stung on the throat by a wasp. I immediately approached a group of brothers and sisters and I requested prayer. They laid hands on me and prayed fervently. The hives and the effects of the bee venom tried to overcome me but I claimed my healing in the Name of Jesus! I said out loud that no weapon formed against me was going to prosper! Since then I have had no symptoms of the bee sting that the doctors said could kill me!!

When the weekend was over, we travelled back to Cannonball, North Dakota and conducted three nights of Holy Ghost Meetings on the reserve. The Spirit of God touched those in attendance and everyone was encouraged to continue to press into the Kingdom of God. The following Sunday, we attended a new church in Bismarck, North Dakota. The pastor asked Nellie and I to share and the Holy Ghost worked mightily! A lady who was suffering from pain for 18 years was completely healed!

We then travelled to Minneapolis, Minnesota and we attended another camp meeting there too. As Brother Johny Curtis ministered in song and Word, many lives were being changed and the fire and thirst for righteousness was rekindled!

Now that we are home, we are preparing to conduct our church's camp meeting here in Thunder Bay. I will be speaking on Wednesday, August 29, and many others from the surrounding areas will also be sharing the Word throughout the week. Nellie and I will be celebrating our tenth wedding anniversary and we will renew our vows on Saturday, September 1st.

Wish you could be here too to come and celebrate with us!

Summer 2001 Praise Report

June 2003 Praise Report

Special Gospel meetings were held in Winnipeg at the St. Regis Hotel from May 30 to June 1, 2003. Pastor Henry Demeria (Winnipeg), Brothers Larry Lacquette (Lake St. Martin), Barry Choken (Winnipeg), and Lloyd Redsky (Shoal Lake) shared the Word of God throughout the weekend to a congregation of visitors from as far away as Fort Hope Ontario, Grassy Narrows Ontario, Kenora Ontario, Shoal Lake Ontario, Norway House Manitoba, St Theresa Point Manitoba, Peguis Manitoba, and Little Grand Rapids Manitoba.

There were powerful testimonies and anointed songs from brothers and sisters who desired to give praise and glory to the King of Kings. Anointed music was played by Barry and Carol Choken, Lloyd and Nellie Redsky, Larry Lacquette, and Brother Malcolm.

As the Spirit of God moved in waves of Glory, many people were drawn to the altar for prayer, healing, deliverance and salvation. Precious tears flowed, hands were raised, and many dropped to their knees in surrender to the Lord Jesus Christ, with adoration and worship.

The Breath of God was experienced all weekend! Glory to God in the highest!

June 2004 Praise Report

We ministered the Word of God in various places since our last praise report. Attawapiskat, and Moosonee, on the western shore of James Bay (Hudson's Bay) in late February were new places for us. Lloyd took two trips to both places within three weeks. It was wonderful to see young people experience the reality of God at the altar call. Many came to accept Jesus into their lives for the first time and others came back to Him after falling away for a season.

We also ministered in Pikangikum twice this year where we encouraged more young people to seek the face of the Lord. As you are reading this, Pastor Smith Keeper and his congregation are experiencing an explosion of growth in the church because they are all hungry for the righteousness of God. The church building where they meet is getting too small, and many people listen to the Word of God while standing at the door or outside near an open window. Revival is happening in Pikangikum because the church is meeting on a regular basis for prayer meetings, even in the middle of the night.

As this praise report is being updated today, we are here in Big Trout Lake, Ontario ministering the Word and leading others to praise and worship the King of Kings and The Lord of Lords. We ministered on Wawatay Radio last night and will do so again tonight. This meeting is being broadcast all over Northwestern Ontario, and we are believing that God will do a new thing in people's lives as the Word is spoken in authority. It is not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit saith the Lord.

We will be back in Big Trout Lake next week for meetings that are scheduled for July 7 to 11.

Watch for more praise reports! Please pray for us!

February 2005 Praise Report

Thanks to everyone who stops by to view new updates on the ministry. As of today we are ministering the Word here in Regina. The power of His Presence is so awesome and we are having another meeting here today. We are anticipating another wave of Glory to fill the room once again as the Lord manifests His Presence once again. We ministered this past weekend in Cote Reserve in Saskatchewan for the first time. It was so glorious to be in the Presence of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

We will be travelling to Winneway Quebec in March to minister for 4 nights and maybe a few more on our way back home to Shoal Lake. We are looking forward to the opportunity to speak life and encourage the body of Christ to get ready for His coming!

Shoal Lake is experiencing an outpour of the Spirit of God in the services that happen on a weekly basis! These are exciting times, and it's an honor to be called to be a witness in these final powerful days!

Blessings on everyone who pray for us as we go about doing our Father's business.

We will be posting some updated photos soon.
