Dear Saints and Friends in Christ,
We have posted the photos and report from the Basic Training we conducted in New York City last month. We hope you can take a moment and rejoice with us by viewing them at: http://www.theelijahchallenge.org/Reports/North%20America/New%20York/Flushing%20NY%20April09.htm. The Lord is so good!
We also just received a follow-up report from our dear sister Laurel Stevens in Alberta, Canada. Some interesting things have happened, especially at the Indian Reserve where we called on the God of Elijah to send the fire of healing at the evangelistic meeting we had there. Please read Laurel’s report below!

Follow-up Report from Training Event Host Laurel Stevens

“I attended the Thursday night Bible study at Louis Bull Church last week for the first time. Marcus, the pastor, is doing what he learned at The Elijah Challenge Basic Training. After the study we asked if any one needed healing ministry and a lady who had attended the training said yes – she had arthritis pain in her knee as well as a “broken leg” (she was wearing a cast on her lower leg). Several of us had been to the Training. We commanded healing, and she got up and walked around. The pain was gone. Then a fellow said he wanted prayer. He is very sensitive to the spirit realm (sees and hears things and has had very specific dreams) and had been told by the Cree Elders that he would be a leader. However, he is a Christian now and is sincere. He had some time ago come to us and asked us to pray over his home because of demonic manifestations in the house. That night he shared very openly about his life. He received healing both emotionally and spiritually, and was able to let go of everything that is not from the true God. We then began deliverance ministry and he was awesomely and completely set free of a number of demons. He was very excited! He has had one experience of a demon trying to return and he overpowered it, and it left. He has now been sharing with his uncle who is a Medicine Man. He has also had a dream where Jesus showed up and healed his kidneys – an answer to prayer that God would give him dreams and visions so he would know what holy dreams and visions are. So exciting!

The mother of Darren, the husband of the lady who had the major deliverance at the Saturday healing service, became very ill and was taken to the hospital with kidney failure. The Doctor said she would die that night – she was unresponsive. Marcus and some others prayed over Darren and he went to see his Mom. He touched her hand (nothing else) and she regained conciousness and rallied. A family member had a Medicine Man come. Marcus knew him and talked with him a bit. The man said he had to go to the Doctor because his arthritis was so painful in his hand. Marcus asked him if he wanted ministry for healing. The man agreed. Marcus prayed, asking God to heal the man so he would know who is God, then commanded the healing in Jesus’ name. The pain left. The man went away shaking his hand and quite amazed.

I received a phone call from a lady who went to the Training. She is so excited. She said that Greg, their pastor, had been teaching on the gifts of the Holy Spirit and just “happened” to be teaching on the gift of healing the Sunday after the training. He taught, then said there was another way, and explained The Elijah Challenge. He had people who had taken the Training come up and share, then asked if anyone needed healing. He told them to come up to the front. One was a young Native fellow with long term back pain – the pain left. He kept twisting and turning to check (in astonishment) and said, “This is crazy!” A lady came up who had Multiple Sclerosis. She felt significant improvement – they told her they would minister again next week – they weren’t quitting! Her husband was very excited. The service went an hour and a half longer than usual.

I had a phone call from one of my nieces two days ago. She wasn’t at the Training but has heard me talk about it. She had asked for ministry two weeks ago for recurrent headaches. They would come 3-4 times a week for the past month, sometimes debilitating. She didn’t know why. I ministered to her. Her phone call two days ago was to let me know she hadn’t had any headaches from the time she received ministry up until last night when she had had a slight one. I explained how the sickness may sometimes try to return and that she too can take authority over it and command it to leave. She is also a Registered Nurse and a Christian – we talked a little about now learning that we have authority over disease. I’m encouraging her to embrace it!

On Monday this week I met with a neighbour of mine. She had come to the Saturday healing service in response to the invitation and had called me just this past Saturday, asking for healing ministry. She was just been diagnosed with breast cancer. I called another lady from Lifegate to come and minister with me, and we commanded it to leave. She said she felt a tingling down the back of her neck. She has an MRI booked, and I can’t wait to see the results.

Going back to the Louis Bull Indian Reserve, there have been several large grass fires in the area which got out of control – one on the Montana Reserve (South East of Louis Bull), one on the Samson Reserve, and one on Louis Bull. The one at Louis Bull came right up the side of the hill that the townsite is on, to the school on the South side, skipped over the school and the entire townsite, flared up on the North side of the hill and burned down the hill completely destroying the [pagan] Sun Dance site at the bottom. No one was hurt.

The Montana Tribe has been very resistant to Christianity and very active in Native Medicine until just recently: a house church started up about a month or so ago. The fire that happened there came so close to the houses that it melted the siding. The young men from the Tribe fighting the fire said that they “saw the face of the devil in the fire”. They asked for a Christian meeting. Marcus and Reggie (a Christian Native fellow) met with a number of them in someone’s house. Reggie spoke. The next day a whole bunch of Montana Tribe people showed up at the Tribe Administrative office asking for a church, including a Medicine Man who had formerly opposed it. Reggie lives at the Montana townsite as well as one of his nieces who is a Christian. The fire came right up to both their houses (literally to the concrete by Reggie’s house) and neither house was damaged at all – not even any soot. Other Tribe members noticed!

We didn’t have a time of healing at Lifegate Church last week (the service went very long) but we will be this week and it will be a regular event each week.
I think that is all for now. God is very, very awesome.

Thank you so much for coming: the vision is catching. People from different churches want to work together. What a sweet fragrance.”
