The Elijah Challenge in Seattle
Houston, Texas
January 6, 2009
Dear Brethren in Christ,
Greetings to you in the blessed name of Jesus in the new year of our Lord 2009!
William will be traveling to Seattle for the wedding of his nephew Ryan this Saturday as well as to teach The Elijah Challenge to a group of very bold open-air street preachers led by brother Tom Briggs.
Tom and his team proclaim the kingdom of God in places and in ways that most believers do not have the boldness to do. William will be training them to heal the sick as they proclaim the gospel in this way in the open air. This Basic Training will take place Wednesday through Friday evening this week, beginning tomorrow evening. Please pray that the Lord will anoint and enable William to equip these brave soldiers of the cross to heal the sick and perform great miraculous signs before the lost as they proclaim the gospel in public places. May they reap great harvests for the Lord in such a scriptural way during these last days.

On December 12 we received the following from Laurel:
“On Wednesday I found out a friend of mine (Senior Citizen, Christian) was in the hospital with heart problems, so I went to see him. He was very interested in hearing about The Elijah Challenge and very happy to be prayed over. His heart was in an irregular rythm. I commanded the disease to leave – felt some kind of a wall – don’t know what. Nothing happened. Saw him again the next day and prayed over him again – nothing happened. His pastor arrived to visit him – we got talking about The Elijah Challenge and the pastor was very interested – had heard of TEC. I haven’t been up to see my friend again but sent a message. His wife wants prayer for her glaucoma when we can get together.”
Then two days ago on January 4 she followed up with:
“My friend who was in hospital with a heart problem was sent home on medications, still with the same problem – six days later his heart spontaneously reverted to normal rythm (what I had told his heart to do) and has remained that way. He gives total credit to God as he had a nephew with the same problem. The nephew had been sent home from the hospital, just like him, but had died the same night.”
“My friend was back in hospital last week with a complication from his anticoagulant medication. He had spontaneous bleeding into his right forearm to the point that his arm was very swollen, hard and cold from his elbow to his wrist. His fingers were also “ice cold” (as his wife said), indicating that the pressure from all the interstitial blood was so great it was cutting off the circulation. The doctor was very concerned and thought that my friend might have to have surgery to save his arm and hand. His wife called me and came over – we prayed at my place. Half an hour later my friend came, discharged from hospital. His fingers were warm and pink and the hardness had gone from his forearm even though there was still some swelling. He was checked by the doctor the next day and sent home.”
