Steve & Carol Jackson are based in Tulsa, Oklahoma

“We continue on with healing the sick and bringing people to the Lord here. In the last 6 years Carol and I have been able to able to bring healing to probably 2,100 people and have seen probably 400 [people] come to the Lord, many people baptized in the Holy Spirit and demons cast out. We don’t have numbers of those healed, saved, etc. among those we have trained because many of them have subsequently moved away and continue where they have moved to. We see more people healed than saved here because there are lots of backslidden people here. Many of them come back to the Lord when God heals them.

We have taken our team out every Saturday to the malls, outdoor flea market, homeless camps and centers, parks, main bus station, Walmarts, etc. for those 6 years.

But since we came across The Elijah Challenge back in November 2021, the number of healings has gone up dramatically using your methodology. The most valuable aspect was ministering by Authority, not by priestly or prophetic actions. I don’t know of any other teaching like that.

So many Christians want to pray and they don’t realize Jesus himself never did that but taught speaking to the “mountain” to bring healing and cast out demons. But old traditions die hard and slow. Unfortunately, many times they never die. So I thank you for your diligence to continue to help believers to know they can heal just like Jesus did, and the 12, and the 70. That has been passed on to us!”

Steve wrote us again in January 2024:

…”We live a half mile from Rhema Bible Training College even though we had planned back in 1985 to leave as soon as we graduated but that has not happened. We went to a few countries and did evangelistic work but still remain here doing the work he gave us. I believe that RBTC and Brother Hagin would be closely aligned to what The Elijah Challenge does. However about 7 years ago we started doing the ministry that The Elijah Challenge teaches because we saw it as a blessed and wonderful extension of what we learned at RBTC. RBTC was a ministerial training school that taught Bro. Hagin’s belief in healing because of how he was healed as a teenager from a condition that would have killed him.

I like the passion of The Elijah Challenge to activate any and all Christians (not just those called in to the five-fold ministry gifts of Eph. 4) into active disciples able to do the Works of Christ and win souls for the Kingdom of God. So I believe that is a delightful and important addition onto the wonderful goals of RBTC! We have had RBTC students come and learn The Elijah Challenge methods (which is really what method Jesus did and taught His apostles and the 70) with us. Then we turn them loose on the public!”

“All the readings I have been doing are all starting to make more sense since I read your book and listening to the videos”

My name is Michael, and I am currently in Sydney, Australia. I am 33 years of age.  Around January 2020 I began to have an unusual desire to press into Jesus to know Him. I started many days of prayer and fasting and word study. After many months of consecrating myself unto God, I began to have a series of dreams from men like Kenneth Hagin, Benny Hinn and many others.

.
I began this year trying again to understand faith and healing and walk in healing practically. I have been searching on how to walk in divine healing practically, but I did not find concrete steps. I have read a bit from Charles and Frances Hunter books, Kenneth Hagin, John G. Lake’s divine healing technician manual etc., and now I am beginning to have some little successes.
.
Recently, I sensed God calling me to the Pacific Islands with Solomon Islands being the first point of call. I had been there some 4 years ago to visit a missionary pastor. For the time being, I am reading the Bible, fasting, praying and planning to step out in faith before the end of the year. I recently got to know Dave Diamond via a friend who emailed him. According to my friend Daniel, Dave will be coming over to India in September 2023 for some weeks and I plan to go sit under his feet and learn from him before setting off to Solomon Islands. I understand Dave was a student of yours, so it is a blessing for me to learn. I have a burning desire to preach the gospel, heal the sick, cast out devils and show people how much God loves them unconditionally and train others to follow same.
.
I recently started reading your book Dancing on the edge of the earth: adventures in Indonesia by the spirit of ElijahThis book has become like a second bible to me since Easter Sunday (09/04/2023). Your journey is almost identical to my current situation and burning desire. I decided to listen to the Elijah Challenge and my heart has been blown away by the simple truth Bible-based teachings. All the readings I have been doing are all starting to make more sense since I read your book and listening to the videos.
 
I wanted to use this opportunity to first thank you for answering the call of God in Indonesia! The resulting obedience is that someone like me can look up to you and also take that step which will be a blessing seed to someone else too one day! God bless you!
