Conversion
A lady shared this testimony about why she wanted to become a member of First
Assembly. She had become very disillusioned with the church as a result of
the sin that has been uncovered with the priests and didn’t feel she
could attend her Catholic church any longer. A friend invited her to First
Assembly. She was immediately aware of God’s presence as she entered
the sanctuary. Then she had the opportunity to hear Randal preach one Sunday.
In her words, his sermon “changed her life”. She has received
Christ as her Savior and is so excited about her new relationship with Christ.

Healed of Cancer and Planted Faith Seeds
Denise (age 30) had been diagnosed with cancer. The doctor said her liver was

for her at a Healing Service. She felt better and decided to return. Randal
prayed for her again, and she sensed that God had healed her. She returned
to her doctor, who checked her and said her liver was completely normal and
there was only one spot remaining on her breast. She is giving testimony
that God healed her. Her father, who had been an agnostic, is now going to
an Assembly of God church with her.

the sanctuary rushed to the altar. The presence of God became stronger and
stronger as people worshiped and prayed in the Spirit.

has never returned.”

Joy and Hope
“ When my Mother was visiting us from California, she was here for Randal’s
service the Sunday morning when the whole congregation went forward. I talked
to her last week, and she said that since that service she has been free from
a deep sadness she has felt for years. She even sounds different over the phone.
She has hope again! I gave her Randal’s tapes, The Anatomy of a Dream.
She is looking for a physical healing also. Praise God!”

peace came over her and fear left and she knew everything was going to be
all right.” When the test results came back clear, the doctor changed

An Extra Hand in Surgery
The doctors discovered a tumor that had wrapped itself around Melvin’s
vital organs and blood vessels. The tumor was in the area of the pancreas,
causing internal bleeding and causing his blood count to drop dangerously low.
MRI and CAT Scans were done to determine exactly what organs the tumor had
attached to. The Church Family began to pray. The doctor predicted that the
surgery would last 4 to 5 hours. To the doctor’s amazement, he found
that the tumor had completely detached itself from the vital organs and only
a small stem remained attached to the pancreas. He snipped the stem and completed
the surgery in only 1.5 hours. The surprised doctor made this statement, “I
had some help. Someone was there before me.”

Jared would survive. The Church Family joined with them and others who prayed
fervently for a series of miracles. After 75 days, Jared was released from
the hospital weighing 4 pounds and 13 ounces. Various doctors predicted that
Jared would suffer physical problems, including deafness, and that he would
not enjoy normal learning ability. At 2 ½ years old, Jared was tested
in four areas: physical, cognitive, social/emotion, and speech/language.

date. God answered prayer and Jared’s life was not only spared, but

Ear Pain Relieved through Prayer
Our grandson, Brandon, went to school feeling fine, but during the day he developed
intense ear ache. Kendal received a call from the school, asking her to come
pick him up. As Kendal was driving to pick up her son, she made two calls.
She called Saginaw First Assembly and asked her Dad to pray for Brandon (knowing
that the Tuesday Morning Intercessory Prayer and Communion Service was taking
place at that very time). She also called the doctor, who asked her to bring
Brandon straight to the office. When Brandon reached the doctor's office,
the pain was completely gone. The doctor said the pain was likely the result
of recent scuba diving and wake boarding activities, which had caused pressure
on his ear drums. God took care of Brandon's ear and he was able to go back
to school and stay the rest of the day without any pain.
