We were so blessed this past week at Souls Harbor in Bloomington, Indiana.  We had a total of 6 People who were Baptized and 3 of those received the Holy Ghost!!!  Bro. and Sis. David Butcher and their congregation have been so kind to us throughout the years.  They have been a tremendous blessing to us in our ministry.  We’re just so thankful to have been a part of their Great Revival!!!  May the Lord continue to pour his Spirit out at Souls Harbor!!!

What an experience!!! The first night of Revival in Henderson, KY was outstanding. They have had an influx of the Deaf Population recently and we were privileged to see a deaf lady, Shawna,  come for the very first time and God miraculously filled her with the Holy Ghost. What an awesome thing to see someone who can’t speak, begin to speak fluently in the Language that only God understands!!!  We were thrilled to see Shawna and her son Baptized in Jesus Name on the last night of Revival!!!

We have been having some great revivals in Georgia the past few weeks.  We have seen several Baptized in the Name that is above every name and recieving the Holy Ghost with the evidence of Speaking with Tongues as the Spirit of God gives the utterance!!!  We just closed a series of services at Crawford Pentecostal Church with Pastor Donald Wineinger.  We started with Sis. Tina recieving the Holy Ghost the very first night and ended with 2 Baptisms last night.   How refreshing!!!

WOW!!! Awesome!!! And anything else you could elaborate with!!! Last night was so indescribable. What a move of the Holy Ghost. Yesterday was a day of Healing for the Congregation of Greater Life Apostolic Church in Madisonville, KY with Pastor Tony Frederick. WOW. The morning service was accented by the Power of God moving in an awesome way. Bro. Frederick has been having so much trouble with his Right Knee that the doctors have told him there is no sense in him coming back to them till he is ready to have surgery. He was in so much pain in Sunday School…the Men anointed his knee with oil and by last night he had no pain in his knee whatsoever!!

We had prayed extensively for Sis. Nan (Bro. Fredericks Momma). Her eyesight is just almost gone. She has not been able to see any distance in front of her for some time now. She has only been able to see shadows until you get really close to her, she wasn’t able to see your face clearly. We prayed during the morning service and God truly ministered, but there didn’t seem to be any evidence that she could see any better, she just felt like something was taking place and was believing God.

When an Elder from the church arrived at church yesterday evening he pulled the Pastor aside and gave him a small bowl of dirt. This dear Elder in the church had felt like God told him we needed to anoint Sis. Nan’s eyes with salve just as Jesus did for the blind man in the bible!!! Bro. Frederick called her to the front and quietly asked for her permission to make a salve of mud for her eyes. Sis. Nan didn’t hesitate…”Do whatever needs to be done, I’m ready for my healing!” Pastor Frederick anointed her eyes with the salve and God absolutely poured his Spirit out on the place!! When she washed her eyes clean, she immediately noticed everything was brighter. She looked at her watch and was able to tell the time. She then walked out in the auditorium and for the first time in months was able to read the Heading on the Muti-Media screen!!! WOW!!! Awesome!!! God is still working miracles in our lives in 2009!!

As of last night Sis. Nan had not recieved her Complete Healing…but is believing that God is going to continue to heal her eyes. There are so many things that happened in the Spirit Realm during the evening service that we the People may never truly know the extent of the work that was done. There is just nothing like the Presence of the Lord!! It just feels so good to be there…It can’t be explained and it can be duplicated. It’s one of those services that there never really seemed to be a time to dismiss and yet when we did no one wanted to leave the House of God!!! WOW!! Awesome!! You should have been there. There is no telling what’s gonna happen tonight!!!

We had a Great move of God in Sullivan, Indiana at Pastor David Scott’s Church.  This Missions America Congregation is doing an awesome job establishing a Prayer Based church in Sullivan.   There is such an awesome Presence of God each and every service.  It is all because they have sacrificially given in prayer and fasting in order to have Revival in 2009.  Apostolic Faith Tabernacle in Sullivan gave from their hearts financially in order for The Sheppards to continue on their journey of Revival in America.  It may be a small building but they have a Large Heart for the Work of God!!! Thank you Sullivan for all your kindness unto us.  We love and appreciate you all very much….Bro. & Sis. Sheppard

We had a great time in the Lord with Pastor White and the Congregation of The First Pentecostal Church of Fort Wayne this year!!! God is really moving in this city!!  We enjoyed great fellowship with the Body of Christ and was able to see Bro. Eddie as he Baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of his sins!!  God is an Awesome God!!!  Keep up the good work guys.  Your prayer and fasting is making the difference.  Wow.  Can’t wait to see what God has done by the time we come back and visit!!!

We had 2 more receive the Holy Ghost in Fort Wayne.  God is really moving in the youth of today!!!

Revival started with 3 receiving the Holy Ghost the very first night!!!  A mighty move of God!!!

I have A.D.D.  That is…Apostolic Driven Desire!!!  We have been having some Revival the past few weeks.  God has really been pouring his Spirit out on those who Hunger and Thirst!!!  We had 16 recieve the Holy Ghost in 3 weeks time in Paragould, Arkansas with Pastor Rick Ethridge.  One New Babe in Christ testified how that she had been hooked on Alcohol, Pain Killers and Nicotine for the past 20 years.  She had also suffered with Bulimia since she was 16 years old.  After receiving the Holy Ghost she has had no more desire for any of those things!!!  She’s 35 years old and has a Brand new life.  She has been able to eat normal once again.  God is a Delivering God!!!    There were 7 who recieved the Holy Ghost in one Sunday Night service alone.  The next Sunday was Mothers Day and that Morning we had 4 receive the Holy Ghost.  We are in Mishawaka, Indiana with Bro. Gene Ebright having some church this week.  We are going to add a couple more nights before heading to Bro. Todd Woods in LaPorte, Indiana.  God is Awesome!!!
