Testimonies

An Early Christmas Gift (Sept 24,07)

Today was one of the most emotional and incredible days of my life. I had the honor and priveledge of praying with my dad as he accepted Jesus Christ into his heart. He is 76 years old soon to be 77 this coming October 17th. My mother and I had been praying for the past 23 years for his life to be changed and this afternoon at 2:53pm - in the parking lot of a Mega Depot - Fred Clark son of Tramel Clark became Fred Clark son of God.

There are no words, no songs, not even an intelligent descriptive thought that can quite capture this moment in eternity for me. It is beyond joyous - it is truly miraculous.

This man who served in two wars, was the strict disciplinarian in my home and that hardness made me angry and jaded for many years. I struggled in our relationship which was almost non-existent for most of my young adult life. I promised God that I would return to Panama to learn to be the daughter he never had if God in turn would help him become the Father I always wanted him to be.

To see him bend his knee today - to watch him cry as he asked for forgiveness and then smile after we had finished the prayer has truly changed me. We spoke for hours today about being a true Christian - a sincere follower of Christ and he had so many questions - and in his eyes I could tell... this was for real.

As I sit here typing this testimony for all to read; I am once again reminded, NOTHING is impossible and that God is truly able to do what we believe could never be done. So I encourage you all this day. For those of you who have never held the hand of one you loved and prayed them into the kingdom, for those who have been standing in faith and intercession for family members, for spouses and children, for those who daily are sowing seeds into the lives of friends and co-workers.....please don't stop.

God is faithful - He will hasten to His word to perform it - it can and WILL happen if you keep your heart set and you remain determined to not let go. Don't give up on them - don't stop praying, don't stop sharing, don't stop loving - this is the way it comes to pass. Through your love, your prayers, your testimony and your reaching out - they will be drawn to Him.

I know it takes time. I know it can be frustrating. I promise you it will test every fiber of your being. But I can also assure you - beyond a shadow of any doubt....

IT IS ALWAYS WORTH IT.

Rejoice with me this evening my friends - Stomp and shout along with the angels in heaven - for my dad has finally come home.

The Bullet (Aug 13, 07)

I just wanted to give everyone a testimony about the miraculous way Father protects and covers me everyday of my life.

A few nights ago around 10:30pm a 9mm round came through the roof of my recording studio - 2 ft from my head and lodged itself in one of my CD cases. Police say it was a stray bullet from nearby poachers they are trying to apprehend. I thought the t.v. antenna had fallen over and didn't realize until the next day when it rained that an actual bullet had gone through the roof - then through the ceiling tile allowing a shower of water onto my piano. I was cleaning up the water when I found the CD case on the floor behind a speaker.

All I can say is - God is faithful to protect those whom serve Him. If you notice the CD case that the bullet was lodged in - you'll see the cover details the content within. These CDs teaching CDs from my favorite RHEMA teachers - Keith Moore and Patsy Cameneti that I download from the internet from their respective websites.

The bible says in Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. The bible also says in 2nd Corinthians 10:4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

I can't tell you, my friends, how many times the words and teachings in this book and the servants who preach and teach it have changed my life. Two feet to the left and someone else may have been writing this. I guess you can say - God's sword did battle with the weapons of the world and once again He has triumphed. All praise and glory be to our Jehova God and His son Jesus Christ. Please continue to pray that Father's will be done in my life and the lives of those in the Clark family for my angels are working overtime.

New Computer for the Administrative Offices

of the Christian Medical Social Foundation

I had a chance to present the Christian Medical Social Foundation with a computer for their administrative office today. Special thanks to Chris Wilkins who first sowed this CPU into Saltmine Studio's ministry (3) years ago and to the Clark family who donated the monitor, scanner, speakers keyboard and mouse. Lord willing, it will continue to work for the Kingdom of God, under the care of the Coopers.

The 2006 Notes & Hope Tour - featuring Brant Christopher, Pamela Clark and Danny Mellado took up offerrings from the East Coast Portion of their tour to support the work of the Christian Medical Social Foundation in Panama.
