A special service at a children's home had over 200 in attendance from three nearby government run homes/reform institutions. A former Bible school graduate preached a short message and gave a brief altar call. Thirty-five children received the Holy Ghost.

A local church prayed for a stolen heard of cattle. They were found and returned. All though the owner wasn't a member of the church he was so impressed he donated $380 to the churches building fund.

This month was the annual Leadership Seminar and Preachers Conference. The leaders were challenged through the Word to rededicate their lives to following Jesus and refocus their eyes on the harvest field. Seeds of faith were sown and before the conference was over, some of the local city pastors were returning home at night to find people waiting to be baptized. One pastor had a lady come needing prayer for healing. She was healed, baptized in Jesus' name, and filled with the Holy Ghost.

Since the conference, reports continue to come in. One pastor had a brother who was sick with appendicitis. This pastor prayed for his brother and when examined by the doctors again, nothing could be found wrong.
