Summer highlights
The summer has ended but the miracles have not!
We had a great summer filled with miracles and special events. In past articles we reported about the exciting Stadium event at Mosaic Stadium in Regina where 1200 people gave their lives to Jesus. You can also read the full details about the Timothy Conference that took place in June with hundreds receiving a fresh impartation of the Holy Ghost and fire from God’s generals in Canada and the United States.
At the end of June, Bill and Jacob headed to Lethbridge, AB to minister at the Dominion Conference, hosted by friends Dick and Joan DeWeert. There they teamed up with evangelist Samuel Robinson, Charlotte Quist pastor of Victory Church in Grande Prairie, AB, and the Deweerts for a dynamic weekend of services. Each speaker shared the Word under a powerful anointing, and in every service the Holy Spirit’s presence was manifested. We witnessed incredible miracles as God’s power came upon people in a fresh way.
The following week Bill and Jacob spent several days ministering at the Mount Zion Retreat Centre in Gilmour ON. It was Bill’s 52nd year to preach at this camp that holds a special place in his heart because of all the Lord has done over the years. It was breakthrough time for people as the glory of the Lord showed up in the meetings. There was a tangible presence of God in the services as the prophetic word and the healing power of Jesus was released. We celebrate all the Lord did there.
In mid-July, Jacob partnered with one of his disciples, Noah, for extended Holy Ghost meetings in Bowmanville, ON. It was the first time that the two young evangelists ministered together and God showed up with many testifying of receiving healings and a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit on their lives. The primary focus was on encouraging the believers to yield in obedience to what God desires and to open their hearts to be endued with power from on high.
August brought Bill, Jacob and Roberts Liardon together for an entire week of Camp Meetings at Lakeshore Pentecostal Camp. For both Bill and Roberts it had been a long time since either of them had done so many days of camp meetings, but God came. Roberts spent each morning sharing and unpacking the history of some of God’s special vessels, ‘God’s Generals’ as he calls them. As he shared their stories it was like being mentored by Smith Wigglesworth, Lester Sumrall and Aimee Semple-McPherson themselves. Bill, Jacob and Roberts took turns ministering the Word each evening and the presence of the Lord was manifested with salvations and notable healings. God’s powerful anointing was imparted to many ministry leaders including those of the next generation and every age in between.
In late August Jacob returned to Lethbridge, AB to tape TV episodes for Dick and Joan Deweert’s program, “Lifeline Today”. In the first program Jacob and Tyrelle Smith, who leads the “Come Together” Stadium events, discussed the past and future of stadium crusades in Canada. On the second program Jacob shared highlights from his new book, “A Timothy Generation” – a book each believer, no matter their age, needs to read. It is a powerful word of encouragement that empowers the “Timothy” and “Paul” generations to walk and work together for Kingdom purposes.
At the end of September Bill and Jacob joined Roberts Liardon and a small group of ministers as they toured through northern New York state to learn detailed history of the second Great Awakening. While they were greatly impacted by the significance of the towns and sites they visited and heard many stories of revivals throughout the region, a highlight for the group was learning about the challenges and obstacles that great men of faith like Charles Finney overcame and the lengths they went to so that the Gospel message could spread. The entire group was challenged to
push beyond what we consider our limits so that God’s glorious Kingdom will be manifest far and wide.
Thank you to all our partners and friends that we were privileged to meet and fellowship with this summer. The summer season may be drawing to a close but the season of miracles is NOT over!
God is not done healing, He’s not done saving and He’s not done bringing hope and a wonderful future to you and your family!
