Keith attended The Elijah Challenge Seminar in Davao, Philippines in June 2007. He works under Roberts Liardon Ministries.

" I have recently returned from our missions trip. We had a great time! I was so amazed by the results. The students stepped forward in boldness and faith and they performed many healings through the power of God. I could see the look of joy and amazement in their eyes as the people who they were laying hands on were instantly healed! They became so addicted to healing people that they took every opportunity to heal the sick that came their way.

We ministered in a Musl__m community during the trip. This was my first chance to perform the healings before preaching the message, and it worked! When the people saw the healings they flocked to us. I've become so addicted to the success of this method of reaching the lost that I cannot wait for the next opportunity to put it into action!"

From Keith's Newsletter: "Musl__ms get healed & saved"

Dear Friends,

I have just returned with my students from our mid-year missions trip. This year we took the students to the city of Lupon. It was the second time that we have ministered in that area since God has opened up many doors and opportunities to us.

For the past few weeks our students have been working hard to prepare for this trip. They have practiced, songs, dances, dramas, sermons and raised the finances it took to attend.

We have spent much time and effort into maturing the students’ character, knowledge of the Word and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Now after several months of learning in the classroom, the students finally had the opportunity to put our teaching to use.

The first day in Lupon we ministered in an elementary school with about 400 children in attendance. Our students ministered to the children through song, dance and puppets as they shared the message of Christ.

That same afternoon we ministered in a nearby college with about 300 young people in attendance. We shared the gospel through songs, dance, drama and the preaching of the Word. When we held a call for salvation about 100 of the youth came forward to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior! Following that I felt led to do a healing challenge. I told the young people that we did not just come to preach about Jesus through words, but to display His love and power to them by healing those who were sick. I had my students line up in front of the stage and called anyone who was suffering from an infirmity to come forward. About 12 people responded. My students laid hands on them, rebuked the sickness, and every person who came forward was immediately healed!

The following night we held a community outreach. While setting up our sound equipment we discovered that we were in a Musl__m area and that some of them were already complaining about us. Several of the students began to panic and looked to me for guidance. Having encountered Musl__ms before, I knew that if we wanted to reach these people we needed to do more than just preach at them. They need to both hear and see the gospel in action. Having witnessed the success of the healing challenge in the college I decided to do it again, but this time it would be before the preaching.

As we began the outreach about 50+ children gathered to participate in the dances, songs and dramas, while the adults stood in the shadows watching with caution and curiosity. I could sense that they were not sure what to make of us or how to respond. To top that off there was a disco club right next to us. When we arrived they began to play their music louder as a protest of our presence.

This time I had one of my students do the healing challenge. He began to call anyone who was sick or had a problem in their body to come forward and saying that we would heal them by the power of our God. For several minutes he called out until two people responded. One was a small child with a stomach ache, and the other was an old Musl__m woman with a problem in her knee. Our students laid hands on them and they were both immediately healed! Now with proof to back our claims more people began to respond. Several more people came forward and were healed as our students laid hands upon them.

For over an hour we continued to call for the sick to come. It began with just a couple sick people responding and snow-balled into a mob of mass healing, as once spectators were now pushing through the crowd to receive their healing. People ran home to bring their relatives as more and more sick were being instantaneously healed. Deaf ears were being opened, eye problems corrected, body pains gone, heart conditions healed and so much more! Musl__ms were thanking Jesus for their healing!

Such a commotion was occurring that the disco club closed and the young people came out to watch the event. Never before had this community seen the power of God move in such a way. After about 2 hours of healing the sick we preached a message of salvation. We told them that it was through the power of Jesus Christ that we healed them and that He was the only way to get to heaven. We asked those who wanted to accept Jesus as their Lord and savior to come forward. I was so amazed to see that a large majority of those who responded were adults! People once looming in the shadows now came forward to accept Christ. Many of the people who responded were Musl__ms, some were the youth from the disco club and one was a witch doctor! At the end of the outreach some Musl__ms approached us saying, “We believe in your God” and thanked us for coming to minister to them.

I am so very proud of my students. They stepped out in great boldness and faith. During the outreach they would occasionally run up to me relaying their most recent healing with a look of triumph and amazement in their eyes. I could feel such a satisfaction fill me as I watched them put into practice that which I had imparted into them.

Testimonies

The Grandfather – There was a girl who had attended one of our services who was being persecuted by her grandfather because she was a Christian. He would not allow her to attend church. At the time her grandfather was at home with a fever. The girl asked our students to visit her home to pray for him. The students laid hands on the man, rebuked the fever and it left. The grandfather was amazed and allowed his granddaughter to continue attending church.

The Witchdoctor - During the community outreach an old witch doctor came to one of our students to be healed of a large growth on her face. Our student told the woman that she must lay down all of her practices, charms and amulets. The old woman removed all of her items of witchcraft and fell to her knees crying. We then led her to receive Jesus unto her heart. After accepting Christ the student reported that the growth had reduced in size.

The Itchy Boy – A young boy came to us to be healed during one of the services. The boy was franticly itching his back. One of the students looked at his back and saw many red bumps all over. She laid hands on the boy and rebuked the infirmity. She asked him, “Is it was gone?” The boy said, “No, it is still there” as he continued to itch his body. Once again the student rebuked the infirmity. This time the boy quit itching and all of the red bumps were completely gone!

The Man at Home – Several youth came to us asking us to pray for their father who was at home sick. We rebuked the sickness and the youth went home and found their father healed!
