Jesus says His peace is His gift to us, and to Satan, our gift is his ultimate prize. Don’t let him take it! God has given Emil a message for the churches based on Joshua 10 which unlocks victory and breakthrough. We have already taken it to two churches where it has been enthusiastically received and acted upon!

Incredibly we are in the 6th month of being in the new Free Prayer Center. And we only need $450 to fully fund the center through January 2017! Thank You, Lord! It is such a blessing. We thank God continually for the opportunity to reach out to the community throughout the year because of it.

We participated in the Iowa Statewide Bible Reading Marathon, where we read daily on the steps of the Buena Vista County courthouse, from June 30-July 2nd. Awesome honor to read God’s Word, knowing it does not return void!

The ministry has now gone international! We had a two hour Skype ministry session with someone in Romania the other morning! God is so amazing that we can minister from our home in Iowa to the other side of the world! Thank you Lord for new open doors and new countries!

We were out of town for 8 days at the end of April visiting family in the Pacific Northwest, then we preached at the Methodist churches in two nearby towns on May 8 and at the Vineyard church in Mason City, Iowa yesterday. We will preach at another one on July 17th. We received wonderful responses from the Methodist churches and great encouragement. The MC Vineyard service flowed with the Holy Spirit from the moment it began to the moment it ended, a great blessing! We had planned to set up Free Prayer outside in Mason City Saturday but the weather report got worse and worse as the day approached and it turned out to be in the low 40s with winds of 17-20 mph so we postponed until a nice JUNE day!

We just received $350 toward the Free Prayer Center goal! Now we only need $572 for the building to be fully funded! TY, Lord! The Center is a bigger blessing than we even anticipated. We had about 75 people come by during our Open House on February 28th and we received many positive comments from them and from others who have stopped just passing by.  Plus we have prayed for numerous people since we officially opened on February 11th. (Check out our BWB Facebook page for details or sign up for our newsletter!)  A youth group came in on a Wednesday night and all the kids received a word from the Lord. It was life-changing for them–they now KNOW God is REAL and He loves them! He is a good, good Father!

We had our first person stop for prayer! The Lord set a woman free of things that had been tormenting her for the past 50 years!!! God is SO gracious in how much He loves us!! We will be putting pictures on our photo page of the finished building tomorrow. Just a couple of carpets to add down the road and it will be totally done! Thank you again to all who gave and to all who prayed!

Yes, we have a signed lease in hand! Effective February 1st we will be setting up Free Prayer at 606 Flindt Dr in Storm Lake! Saturday we are going in to paint and set up our table and chairs and coffee pot so we’ll be all ready to go on Monday. TY, Lord! We feel so good about being “out on the roadside” again! We are still raising the last $700 of the money needed to reach our goal but we know God is bringing it! Thank you again to all who gave and to all who prayed for this vision to become a reality! God is awesome!

We set up Free Prayer at a high school youth lock-in Friday night at Buena Vista University here in Storm Lake from 9pm to midnight. Some college kids helped put on the event and we got to pray with 4 of them! We now have $9286 toward our Free Prayer Project! We are looking for a building now; the lease on the one we have been looking at fell through when the owner added on other costs to our monthly rent there. We know God has a plan to get us into a building, this week we pray!
