Jesus In The House

Prayer has been changing things at Bartlett United Pentecostal Church.

Jesus promised in John 12:32 that if He be lifted up He would draw all men unto Him.

Well, we've been praying and God's been answering! 

Last summer, the church members gathered for a Prayer Walk and prayed for the people of Barlett as they walked the streets and neighborhoods of Bartlett.

We also gather together monthly  for a prayer meeting, and we pray weekly in our services, and daily in our homes.

The Holy Bible says that if we will humble ourselves and pray that God will answer. (II Chronicles 7:14)

And truly God is answering!

So far this year, 30 people have recieved the gift of the Holy Ghost just like they did in the book of Acts. (Acts 19, Acts 8, Acts 2)

And others have been healed and/or delivered from addictions and unhealthy lifestyles.

Reverend Eli Hernandez, and international preacher was just with us for our annual Passing the Mantel Minister's Conference. He ministered greatly and shared this word from God with us:


And Pastor Yonts led the congregation in a heartfelt prayer for the country of Japan.

And what about you dear friend and reader? What prayers has the Almighty God answered for you since the beginning of year?

Leave a comment as a testimony and to glorify God!

Japan Need Our Prayers

Japan just suffered its largest recorded earthquake of 8.8.  The main concern is for the city of Sendai that has already been hit with a tsunami.  We do have a church in that city so please pray for Pastor Kon and the church in Sendai.  Also pray for the aftershocks and potential further tsunami waves.

Ed Hosmer
Missionary to Japan



We covet your prayers for everyone in Japan today.  My younger brother, who was the first National Quizzer and went on the first Outreach Team for AIM...a long time AIMer in Korea and Japan...lives near Tokyo.  He wrote that it was very bad. 
 
I am asking our friends to please pray for Richard Kepler's family, who live in Ashikaga, Japan. They were in the violent earthquake which happened today. So far, Rick and his wife are fine. Rick is stranded at his workplace.  No subways are running.  Sayuri, his wife is nearer to the children, who are at home. She is trying to get to them and her parents. Please pray for them..Rick, Sayuri, Marie' and Jin Keith.
 
Thank you so very much!  Every time we ask you to pray for something, the prayers are answered quickly.  Your prayers go where none of us can.

Holy Ghost Update

I just wanted to keep everyone updated on what God has done so far this year. God has added 2 more to His list: Will and Onassis have also received the Holy Ghost. That makes 17 this year. We also baptized 2 last Sunday. Wow, hard to keep up with Him. Many in the church are getting hold of what God is doing and going deeper in the Spirit. I am excited! That's all for now!
