October 9 I was able to preach Sunday Services for Pastor Jim Raderstorf in Phoenix, Az. We had such a wonderful time in these two short services. It is amazing what God can do on a Sunday. We saw souls saved, people healed and delivered, and a renewing of vision for what God wants to do in us and through us. Pray for the Raderstorf's as they continue to plant churches and seek the will of God for this city.

 October 2-5 I preached for Pastor Andrew Zamora in Silver City, NM. As many of you know, Pastor Zamora took over the church after the death of Pastor Jesus Vizzerra a little over a year ago. The church was placed in good hands with Andrew and Edna Zamora as they have had extensive ministry experience including Pioneering, Pastoring and two stints as Assistant Pastors in Las Vegas, NM. One of the blessings of this trip was my wife Vanice was able to come with me and we had a great time of fellowship with them and their children. They know how to cook!
 This church is a testimony of longevity and faithfulness. It was pioneeered over 30 years ago by Larry and Susan Beauregard and has produced many pastors and evangelists over the years. The church currently pastored by Chayo Perez in Albuquerque was launched by this church. They have a great building on a main street in town and are beginning to see a new harvest of souls as well as new converts being grounded in God. One of the recent rededications was a Pastor's son who is now back involved in worship ministry. Thank God he never gives up on our children!
 One of the things I felt during our meeting was that God was going to once again "open the womb" of this church to bring in new conversions, backsliders and a new crop of laborers for the harvest field. It has that feel of being on the verge, so lets pray for a fresh visitation of God's Spirit upon these faithful saints of God.

 September 25-28 I was able to minister for Pastor Ronnie Lujan in Albuquerque, NM. Ronnie, his wife Diana and four daughters have been laboring here for almost 3 years and are really beginning to see the fruits of the seeds they have been sowing. They have seen a steady influx of people being converted and backsliders coming back to God and rededicating themselves to discipleship. Many of these people were faithful to every service and are getting on fire for God. This church is now a self supporting church and is in a time of momentum that has great potential. There are so many needs in this area. One night after service Pastor Lujan was ministering to a man who was recently saved and delivered from Methamphetamines, while I was waiting for him outside the church, a couple came by picking up cigarette butts and after talking to them, found out they were addicted to heroin and had just been talking to each other about their need for Jesus. I led them in a sinners prayer and told them my testimony how God set me free from drugs and alcohol. It was a divine appointment!
 As I observed this church, I was impressed by two things 1. The unflenching love and zeal of the Pastor
2. The dedication and commitment of his family (his daughters are the worship musicians and singers). All of this is making things happen in their city. Pray for the Lujan's as they labor here. There are many victories they are experiencing, but it doesn't come without many battles.
