January 2017 – A New Year, A New President, A New Citizen

We not only have a new president in this new year – this ministry has a new citizen.

This is Jackie, a young woman I have always called “The Golden Girl” – beautiful inside and out. She is one of my assistants. This picture was taken right after she became an American citizen a few weeks ago.

In her youth, Jackie competed nationally as a gymnast in her native England – before spending 17 years running her own gymnastics club. (Twice they were presented with the National Club of the Year Merit Award.)

She became a Christian 17 years ago and was baptized in the Holy Spirit.

Thirteen years ago she came to live in America. She attended Charis Bible College and graduated with a Bachelors of Biblical Studies Degree. She worked for John and Lisa Bevere’s ministry, Andrew Wommack Ministries and then Gary Oates Ministries.

It was during the years that she labored for the Lord through the Gary Oates Ministry that I met her – always, always admiring her dedication and righteousness. I always said that – besides Tammy – the only person in the world I would love to have as a part of this ministry was Jackie.

One day I received a call. Gary Oates – for whom she worked – was leaving “the mountain” here and she was now going to seek employment elsewhere. I did not dare believe that she would consider this small ministry as a “home base”; but I told her my long-time heart’s desire to have her as part of this ministry because of my great admiration and love for her personally.

She said she would drop by to talk. It just so happened that years ago, the Lord had given her a dream that one day she would be helping me – and well – the rest is history.

Two years ago Jackie married a very fine physical therapist. Now, after much study, she has become a full-fledged American citizen.

We could not ask for a better new citizen for the country.

Glory. Things are looking up.

The two prophecies show God’s faithfulness to (1) a nation and to (2) a ministry. In the teaching section I will share God’s prophetic promise to individuals – His children – for this year.
