Dear Friends,
MORE MIRACLES IN CENTRALIA, WA, USA
Date: Friday, 26 June 1998
Jerry Gaffney reports on the continuing revival in Centralia, WA, USA:
'In Marysville Assembly of God almost a thousand kids meet every week to bring honor and glory to the Lord. When we held meetings at Marysville over 1,200 people came to the Lord in just two weeks. Pastor Bill Wolfson is in his 20th week of straight revival. His church has been filled almost every night. They met 7 days a week for the first 70 days. He fasted for 70 -yes I said that right- 70 days and the power of God has come down in his church of between 2,000 to 3,000. Pastor Don Welt will tell you about the people who stood in lines to get into the church in Bremerton in July. It was 100 outside and 107 in the church. They would sit in the church and pray for hours in the heat so they wouldn't miss the meetings. Those who didn't get inside listened outside the windows until midnight. They will never be the same. Central Park built a whole new church almost debt free in the last 3 years. They moved from a church that held 90 to a brand new building that holds 350. Already they are building again to hold 700. We were there three times for a total of 20 weeks. Over 400 people were saved the first weeks we were there. Then there is the housewife in Graham, named Marsha, who now has over 80 kids off drugs and on fire for Jesus. I wish all churches had a Marsha. Watching the Holy Spirit fall at the Presbyterian church was something I will never forget. Watching Amish people take a bus almost 40 miles to come to meetings week after week made me cry. Having Episcopalians, Methodists, Lutherans, Catholics and of course Assembly of God come to the meetings in one accord will melt anyone's heart. Watching over 28 children being filled with the Holy Spirit at the same time in Evergreen Christian Center was a miracle. They sang in the Spirit for almost two hours. Pastor Wes Lindseth of Fairwood A/G- his church is about 1,000- said the 30 days we were at his church he saw more miracles, healings and people filled with the Holy Spirit than he had in his whole ministry. Over 600 people came back to the Lord.
We have been in Centralia First A/G for seven weeks now. There are just no words to describe what goes on every night. As Pastor Bill Bates said, this is a pastor's dream. About 50 of us went to the Capitol and prayed for the Senate last week. We were allowed to sit in their desks and anoint with oil almost everything they use. Later that same day the whole group gathered in the center of the Capitol building, in the rotunda where we sang "I love you Lord" and "Our God is an Awesome God". As we were singing the Holy Spirit fell and people started to fall out under the power of God. It was awesome to see the Lord hold service in the Capitol of Olympia, Washington. America, watch out. The largest wave of revival has not hit us yet. When it does will you be ready?'
