God is continuing to do great things here in Moorefield. Three young ladies received the Holy Ghost week before last, and three young ladies were baptized last week in our youth service. Can’t wait to see what God does this week!
F.I.R.E.
Fervent Intercession Righteousness Empowerment!
Wanted to give a quick update on youth prayer here in Moorefield. God is doing a mighty work among our young people. In 2 months 15 young people have been filled with the Holy Ghost and 7 of those have been baptized in Jesus name! Praise the Lord! We are very excited about what the Lord is doing and is going to do here at New Life Tabernacle! God Bless and have a Merry Christmas!
Below are just some of the great things God did at our awesome “Healing & Holy Ghost Revival” this past Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at Christian Apostolic Church. Our special speaker was Evangelist Felix Crowder.

On Friday night, we counted seven miraculous healings, and an 8-year-old was filled with the Holy Ghost and spoke in tongues powerfully! That was only her second visit to our church.
Among those who received a healing touch was Sis Shawna, who removed a wrist brace after the Lord touched a damaged ligament, and Sis Christina, who removed a wrist wrap bandage after the Lord touched a sore, sprained wrist.

Sis Rachel was healed from a 20-year long pain and stiffness in her neck and delivered from a knot/cyst in her neck that she had for years. The knot, which was about the size of a jawbreaker gum ball, went down in size drastically and has almost vanished. It is currently only about the size of a pea.

Bro Jim was touched both physically and spiritually. The Lord took away all the pain in his side. He wept and rejoiced and danced before the Lord.

Elder David Harris Jr had suffered terrible pain and stiffness in his shoulders, and had surgeries which were unable to completely correct the problems. The Lord touched him during the revival service, and he demonstrated God’s touch by picking up a large speaker cabinet and carrying it on his shoulders!

Sis Freda walked all around! Praise the Lord!
On Sunday morning, Cheryl (seen in the center of the above photo) was filled with the Holy Ghost and ran and danced all around the church. She was also water baptized in Jesus name the same service. When she first came to CAC several months ago, she was very ill and dangerously thin. Since then God has blessed to regain health and strength.

Becky (seen in pictures above) was filled with the Holy Ghost, and she was water baptized in Jesus name during the evening service of the same day.
Sis Rhonda (seen in the center of the above photo) was told many years ago (after a car accident) that she would never walk again. Over the years she was blessed to be able to walk with the help of a cane. However, the Lord further touched her during the revival, and she walked all around the church without using her cane. Days afterward she said, “All I know is that I am walking better. I still need a little help outside walking on grounds and in crowds, but nobody can tell me I didn’t get a touch. I know I did.”

On Sunday evening, in addition to Becky’s baptism, Terry (seen in pictures above—in the center of the second photo) was filled with the Holy Ghost and was water baptized in Jesus name.
During the same service, Sis Renee (seen in picture above), who had recently been unable to even shuffle her feet, got up from her wheel chair and walked all around the church! Her father testified that she had definitely received a touch from the Lord enabling her to walk.
There were many other great things that happened. These are just a few of the blessings God bestowed.
PS: The following Wednesday (last night) we saw another one, Carissa, filled with the Holy Ghost!
This 8-year-old girl filled was with Holy Ghost. It was only her second time to visit our church.
The first night was awesome at our “Healing & Holy Ghost Revival” at Christian Apostolic Church (UPCI), Clarksburg, WV. Our special speaker is Evangelist Felix Crowder. God is doing great things. On Friday night we counted seven miraculous healings, and an 8-year-old was filled with the Holy Ghost and spoke in tongues powerfully! Don’t miss what’s coming next! Be here tomorrow night at 5:30 pm for prayer and church at 6 pm. Sunday’s services will be at 10 am and 6 pm with prayer 30 minutes before each service. See you there!
Apostolic Tabernacle (UPCI) is an established church work (founded some 25 years ago) with a nice building in a beautiful community of about 5,000 souls. Pastor Donald L. Blankenship (who is retiring for health reasons) and his family have been there from the start, and he has served as pastor there for the last 14 or so years. Supt. Garlitz says he believes the building is mortgage free. This is a great pastorate opportunity.

Are you ready for a world without antibiotics? | Society | The Guardian.
This UK site’s article shows how the era of antibiotics will soon be coming to a close. The days of people seeking doctors first and God last (or maybe not at all) seem numbered. What are your thoughts?
Two received the Holy Ghost. Deaf ears opened. Stomach problems healed. Bell’s palsy healed. Pain in hip gone. Heart pain gone. Devils cast out, and the Holy Ghost came in. Joy restored. Past hurts and failures replaced with the peace of the Holy Ghost. And it’s not over yet. God is so AWESOME! Here we come, devil. It’s time to take a journey and start singing “Nothing Can Compare” and tell the devil you have “No Vacancy.”
All this happened in Wheeling, WV where we are holding ongoing revival services with Pastor David Forsythe and the great saints of Abundant Life Tabernacle.

We’re pleased to learn that a new daughter work is opening in the Oak Hill, WV area: Solid Rock Worship Center (UPCI). Their first service will be August 15, 2010 at 6:00 pm. The work is being pioneered by Apostolic Lighthouse (UPCI) in Mt. Carbon, WV under the leadership of Pastor Greg Hurley & Bishop John Hurley. Pastor Greg Hurley also serves as a sectional representative on the WV Home Missions Board of Directors. We’re excited about this new work and will bring you updates as we get them.

The seller (on the left -- he's tall!) receiving earnest money from Pastor Joseph on behalf of CAC. 
Clarksburg (Lost Creek), WV - Christian Apostolic Church (UPCI), has agreed to buy 7.2 acres of meadow land adjacent to Interstate 79 and located only a couple tenths of a mile from an exit off the interstate. Pastor Doug Joseph writes, “Our church has long sought to get a better location. Property in our area is very expensive. If land is in a good location it is extremely expensive. After years of looking and praying, we eventually resolved to just have faith and patiently wait for God to help. God has answered in a big way. Long story short: Today we met with the owner, and entered into a purchase agreement for land in a great location. Several of our church members were there, including Elders, Board members, and Saints. It is with great joy and excitement that we announce that CAC will, if the Lord tarries, eventually move to a new location that is much better than our current location. The meadow land is beautiful. We praise the Lord for His great BLESSINGS! Hallelujah!” (Photos by Elder David Harris Jr.)

Elder John Sandy sent us the following comments and photos via email:
Here are some pics from Sunday School camp that you can either use on the church bulletin or the district website. I had to delete several that did not come out too well due to lighting.
I am also including some of the better ones that JT took after service, before we left. He is definitely hooked on becoming an every-year camper. He loved praising the Lord and thought all the church events were perfect for him. He has come home excited about what God could do through him!
I am especially thankful for those who go and take time from their personal jobs to minister to these young ones and make them strong now, so that when they become the senior high group, they can hit the ground running.
INVOLVED; DEDICATED; COMMITTED; CONSISTENT
The future of the WV UPCI is looking brighter because of Sunday School kids that love to praise God and learn of Him!

Bro. Robert Fazzalore writes, “The Costa Rica Missions team reports a great conference in San Jose. Almost 1,000 people gathered on Saturday and Sunday with over 32 being filled with the Holy Ghost and 22 baptized in Jesus name. Many notable miracles were also reported from the national church. Our young people from WV did so well. They jumped right in at the altar and were laying hands on people, praying children and other young people through to the Holy Ghost and were a tremendous example to the Costa Rican Youth Group! Thanks for your prayers!”
Article in Parkersburg newspaper (Parkersburg News and Sentinel)

PARKERSBURG -A home missions church has found a new home in downtown Parkersburg.
The Sanctuary of Hope Church, a United Pentecostal home missions church, has purchased the former Nemesis Shrine Temple at 811 Lodge Court near Market Street. Frank Bounds and his wife had been renting a building in Mineral Wells after coming to the area from Salt Lake City.
Fred Tipper, head of the Nemesis Shrine’s trustees, said the building and adjacent parking lot had been sold to the church for about $200,000, which is about half the initial asking price.
When the building was first put up for sale, it appraised for about $420,000, according to Tipper, who said the original appraisal was based on commercial real estate prices. Tipper said more recently the building (more than 7,000 square feet with a 38-space parking lot) appraised for about $220,000.
The building had been on the market for about three or four years, while the Shriners built a site at Watson Road.
“It was time and it certainly helped us,” Tipper said. “We have been very fortunate in our new building.”
Tipper said the new owners initially approached Shrine leaders about renting the site but soon realized they could afford to purchase the lot.
“When we told them what we would accept, they got a different attitude,” Tipper said.
Tipper said the building didn’t require much renovation, but it had been vacant for some time.
“You never know when something is vacant,” he said.
The Boundses had spent more than 15 years building a church in Glen Ferris, W.Va., where their son still ministers. A second son ministers at churches in Zanesville.
Bounds has already started renovations and services on the site. When complete, Bounds anticipates the building’s auditorium will seat about 250. He expects renovations to be completed in about three months.
“We hope to stay here,” Bounds said. “Retire here.”

Evangelist David R. Harris Jr (of Christian Apostolic Church, Clarksburg, WV) recently conducted a revival weekend near WV’s southern border. The event was organized and hosted by WV UPCI Pastor Jim Copley. Rev. Harris was accompanied by Rev. Rusty Sandy (a young, new evangelist, also of CAC).
God blessed mightily there at the host church, Apostolic Lighthouse Church (where Rev. Copley pastors in Lando, WV, just outside of Delbarton).
Rev. Harris reports, “God filled three with the Holy Ghost, and we witnessed several confirmed miracles. So far in the recent revivals we have had, to date we have seen God pour out His Spirit on 21 souls, and 8 have been baptized. God is so awesome! Let the fire fall.”
Pastor Jim Copley writes, “What an awesome time of revival and fellowship that we enjoyed over the weekend in Delbarton! We had three to receive the Holy Ghost and had many testimonies of healing and deliverance! Bro. David Harris is not only an evangelist, he is also a prophet! I am sure that I am not the first person to say that. Bro. David preached with fire and anointing. He also ministered mightily one-on-one in the altar each service, imparting prophetic utterances to many. We love and appreciate Sis. Missy and the girls so very much. Mary Beth and I just love being around this precious family. What wonderful people of God! We are honored to count them as close friends. We were also very blessed to have Bro. Rusty Sandy with us over the weekend. What an awesome young man! I look forward to developing a super friendship with him in the years to come. Pastors, if you are seeking God for a preacher to come and have revival, you need to look no further than Bro. David Harris!”
