Dear Friends & Partners:
We had an awesome 2 weeks ministering in NC and MN.
The week of July 8-12 we ministered at a Camp in Blowing Rock, NC and saw an outpouring of God's love on all that attended. Almost the entire camp was on their faces worshiping God and experiencing his love and presence several times during the week.

more of God and experiencing his love for them.
During the week of July 15-18 we ministers in Fergus Falls, MN and saw over 100 people come forward to be born again including several parents. It was a powerful week spiritually in this small community. Many children attending were from the community and other churches that do not teach salvation. We saw lives touched, people delivered from chains of bondage, and encouraged to start growing spiritually.
below is a letter the Children's pastor send me after the event
The Jubilee Gang came to the Naz in Fergus Falls, MN for four
nights of Summer Slam for kids ages 5-12. It was a great week for the Kingdom
of God as 100 people came forward to be born again----two of them being adult
workers/parents of the kids attending! One mother/worker was the first one to
come forward to pray one night after her two adopted children were born again a
few nights before. There was much spiritual warfare going on with this
particular family prior to Summer Slam and especially prior to the mother
getting saved. That evening right before we started Jerry was able to
powerfully pray for this woman to rebuke the work of the enemy in her life. She
was saved that evening. She now says she is overflowing with peace, joy, hope,
strength and too many other things she can't even put into words! This is what
it's all about! The 170+ kids who came throughout the week loved every aspect
of the Jubilee Gang's ministry and they listened better than I have ever seen
before! We had feedback from our workers on how clear the explanation of being
born again was each night and how carefully Jerry handled the altar call. Our
workers liked that it was fun yet more challenging for the kids spiritually than
our normal VBS's that we have done in the past. I cannot say enough good about
Jerry and his wife Candy and the work they do to reach kids and their families
for Christ. The only regret I had was making this solely a kids event and not a
family event. Parents really need to be saved too as so many don't know Him yet
they are three to four times more influential on their children than even the
church. Think of how many kids we will hold on to in the church if we also have
their parents!
