Wickenburg, Arizona

 April 3-6 I was blessed to preach a revival for Pastor Dave Robinson in Wickenburg, Az. Dave and his wife Diane have faithfully labored in this city for 26 years.(What a testimony of faithfulness) During these years, they have planted many churches in the Northwest and still have fruitful works and ministers that have labored and are still laboring in the nations. They are still on fire for Jesus and wanting to see the Glory of God established in their city. We started out Saturday with a door to door outreach and we were able to see some people pray and reached for the gospel. As we went through the week, you could feel the momentum of the presence of God in the services and it truly had the feel of a "time of refreshing" that comes from the presence of the Lord.It has been agreat priviledge for me to preach several revivals in Wickenburg over the years of my ministry as an evangelist and Dave, Diane and many of the saints there have become good friends. Pray for the Robinsons and the Wickenburg church as they seek the will of God for their city. 
 Interesting sidenote is Pastor Mitchell pastored a Foursquare church in this city many years ago, the building is in different hands now, but it still stands about a block away from the current church.

Apple Valley, California

 March 27-30 I preached a revival for Pastor Paul Gualtieri in Apple Valley, Ca. Paul, along with wife Lupe and family have been laboring in this city for almost a year now. They have seen a great response to the gospel since they landed last year. Beginning with services in their house, then later acquiring a building, there has been a steady flow of vissitors, people saved, delivered and healed and disciples beginning to be raised up. Paul and Lupe always had the gift of hospitality and fellowship in the mother church, and Lupe organised most of the fellowships at church over the last few years including conference, New Years, etc. They have taken that same approach to their pioneer work and it is paying great dividends in lives touched and a church being established.
 Our revival went well from the opening service, through the week we saw 7 people saved, many healed and on the last night we saw two precious souls filled with the Holy Ghost. In fellowshipping with Paul, he expressed his desire to contend for a Pentecostal outpouring in his church and Apple Valley. We saw a trickle of that outpouring during the revival. Pray for the Gualtieri's as they labor there as there are many strongholds that need to be broken for God to do all He wants to do. They are having an invasion team this summer and if you have the opportunity to go, I would encourage you to so as this city just reeks of potential for the gospel.
