Today was an amazing day on the roadside! We were set up just outside of Florissant. For five hours straight we had people literally waiting one after the other the entire time! We were so thankful for our porta potty trailer! As we would finish praying with one person and they would stand up, the next car would pull in! So many incredible things and one lady even stopped to give us a praise report from prayer she received from us three weeks ago that God miraculously answered! God is amazing!

Maiden Voyage!
We took the porta potty out on its maiden voyage today! It was fantastic! We were out for several hours! Thank you for your prayers!
Divine Appointment in Midst of Human Complications!
Thank you for praying! During Emil’s back-and-forth discussions with the woman at the porta potty company about the rider, she commented twice, “We’re just going to plead the blood of Jesus over that unit that nothing can happen to it while you and your wife have it!” So cool! She loves our ministry and asked Emil where we set up and said she’ll watch for us and stop! That was a huge praise that came out of all this!!! God has His divine appointments in the midst of human complications!!! The rider issue got resolved late this afternoon and we will pick up the unit Friday morning and post a pic!
Porta Potty Prayer Request!
The trailer hitch for our porta potty is being put on Thursday! We have the porta potty reserved but now our insurance company doesn’t know if they can insure it!
A Family Affair
Today on the roadside was incredible!!! God showed up in spectacular fashion!!!! A family stopped and The Lord read all of their mail from their 5 year old daughter, 8 year old son, 16 year old son, and the parents. The 8 year old even cried as God said he would heal people thru praying for them! The father had his deaf ear opened and back healed from years of pain!!! God is wonderfully wonderful!! The whole family cried and hugged as they got ready to leave! We were with them on the roadside for 2 hours as The Holy Spirit lit up each family member one by one!! Thank You Lord!!
We’re Gettin’ Hitched!
A hitch for our Impala is on its way! It should be here sometime this week so we can get it installed and rent our Porta Potty trailer!!!
Evacuees Are Getting Prayer
Emil and his brother Allan have been on the roadside for two hours now and he just called me with an update. Many people have stopped affected by the High Chateau fire and the Weston fire south of us. One man in tears was just evacuating from the house his father had left him when he died a few months ago. They got to pray with him, and all who stop are thanking them for being out there to pray for them. Tons of thumbs up, honks and waves.
A Developing Pattern
In the nearly 15 years of doing the roadside ministry, we had someone stop once in Arizona when we first started who said he felt he was supposed to pray for us and we never forgot how great that felt. It hasn’t happened since, but in the last week, three separate couples have stopped on three different days and said, “The Lord told us to stop and pray for you!” Without us even voicing any needs, all three prayed the exact same thing: for protection and increased finances! It makes us wonder what battles the Lord is fighting on our behalf. It’s very humbling to have the Lord use people we’ve never met to lift us up and we are so grateful for their obedience. It’s also interesting that each time, as they prayed for us, the Holy Spirit downloaded a word for them and cut right to the heart of things with which they were dealing. He blesses us all without any of us needing to speak out a prayer request! Wow, this is a new thing!
New Site
We sat out on our new site yesterday! Tons of traffic at that intersection. No one stopped but it takes a few days to see us out before they will. We are going back out there today! Friday a family of 3 generations stopped to pray for us! They said an awesome prayer and then Emil had a word for the mom which both she and the grandmother said was absolutely right on in every way. Ty, Lord, for their hearts of love and for giving back to the mom a healed heart!
A Ride to Find a Place to Preside!
We were on the roadside this morning and afterward felt we were to take a drive and God would light up more set-up spots. We found two: one at the intersection of Hwy 24 and SR67, just outside of Divide, SR67 leading to Cripple Creek and Hwy 24 leading to Florissant and beyond. It’s a church parking lot which has great visibility from all 4 sides. Emil has a call in to the pastor to ask him about it. Please pray he calls and approves us! The second one is on SR67, a huge pull-out with an old small abandoned building at one end which has a cross on top! It is a perfect place to set up when there are special events in Cripple Creek, such as when Colorado’s largest procession of motorcycles takes that route to the annual Salute to American Veterans Rally August 17th.
