Ray and Wilma Phipps: Doing What Jesus Did in India!

He had a vision while at a prayer meeting in a country church near Venus, Nebraska, where his father was pastor. As Ray knelt to pray with the others, he was transported out of his body and into the atmosphere above the earth. He saw the earth as a huge globe below him that seemed to be real and alive. The Lord’s presence … Continue reading

Local Church in a Small Wisconsin Town is Touching the World
Often, we look to a huge mega-church in one of the metropolitan areas to find the “formula” for growth and success. But God is not limited to such places. In fact, there are great treasures of truth to be found in other places—remote, obscure, rural places—where the great God of the universe is just as apt to do “great and mighty things.” One of the lies that Satan tells pastors is that they cannot accomplish great things in a small area, but that they must move on to some large metropolitan area to fulfill their ministry. … Continue reading

A “Great Awakening” in Tolna, ND
Oftentimes people ask me what I am seeing in the churches as I visit and minister the Gospel. Well, I see good things…but I also see a need for much more.

In fact for many years we have been praying for this move and recognizing that it is DESPERATELY NEEDED.
