Comments from United Methodist Church leaders in New York after the September 2016 Training
“Praise be to God for the blessing of Elijah Challenge Ministry to the people of God and the churches!
For the one who is starting out in a new role as the Superintendent of a United Methodist Church District of 70 churches, I am especially grateful for your ministry for the timely reminder and witness for Christ’s work in a powerful way! I thank our LORD and you both!
I am looking forward to resourcing our pastors and practicing what you have trained us with God’s help. There will be challenges and pockets of resistance ahead but for such a time as this in our denomination I am grateful that the LORD has allowed this valuable ministry training to be made known. May Christ’s Kingdom purpose advance further in our denominational context through this training!
May the LORD enable you and bless you powerfully to reach the goals of Elijah Challenge to the glory of His Name!”

“I am so grateful to you for your seminar. It surely encourages me to begin healing ministry/prayer at my church. I am going to follow your lesson materials.”
-Rev. G. S., Former Superintendent of UMC District in New York
“Grace and peace be to you. So much appreciation to you for your leading seminar which was taken place in Long Island West District this past weekend. I am the pastor of a UMC congregation in Pittsburgh. The solid biblical foundation on the ministry of healing you presented enlightens me to rediscover the power of Jesus’ healing ministry—the “kingly” ministry of God. My hope and prayer is to practice this healing ministry at my congregation—and beyond—that they may have strong faith of God, witnessing God’s power of salvation in their midst. …I will update you how this healing ministry works in my congregation and beyond. May your ministry continue to transform people’s lives into the followers of Jesus Christ.”
-Rev. S. C.

“My name is Rev. E. K., the pastor of Wolcott Faith UMC in NY. I am attending the conference now. May I have the power point presentations of the three days lectures? Thank you for the great opportunity of learning about the Lord’s power & authority [over disease and demons].”
“You were certainly a blessing to us at Grace UMC at St. Albans, New York last weekend. God through you and your wife opened my eyes to so many things for the first time. Would you please send me the Elijah Challenge Powerpoint Presentation? It will enforce and serve as a reading reference for starting a healing ministry in the church I serve.”
“We met at Grace United Methodist church in the seminar. It was very valuable and blessed time… I will forward your information and schedule to my contacts in local churches in Gujarat, India. It is our hearty desire that through your ministry the Lord’s kingdom will be extended on this earth [in India].”
