River of The Holy Spirit

Here in the Upper Midwest, our area is dominated by one geographic feature… the Mississippi River. Mississippi means “Great River”. But did you know that it hasn’t always been called Mississippi?

In May 1541, the great Spanish explorer Hernando DeSoto became the first explorer to document the Great River. The first name DeSoto gave to this river was Rio de Espiritu Santo… River of the Holy Spirit.

We will still run the email list through inJesus, so you don’t need to make any changes in your subscription. However, you should change your bookmarks for Great River Renewal. So go now to

Testimony: Mitch and Inga Stohl told us an incredible story of reconciliation and healing at The Sanctuary this past Sunday.

Inga was contacted by her ex-husband several weeks ago. He had been recently diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma cancer. He was in need of a bone marrow transplant and wanted to ask his daughters to consider being tested. What for many would have been an opportunity for the devil to exacerbate old wounds, turned out to be a great time of reconciliation between Inga, her daughters, and her ex-husband.

While visiting him in the hospital, Inga and Mitch prayed for him that a large tumor on the side of his neck would be healed. The tumor completely disappeared in a couple days.

Mitch and Inga also prayed with their prayer group that his disability income that was being held up by the state would come through. The money was released to her ex the next day, and it was more than he expected.

Testimony: A friend of mine from the Quad Cities area visited Heartland Assembly in Ankeny last week and met with some of their folks trained in Sozo Ministry. Sozo is a model of deliverance and inner healing that relies on the active direction of the Holy Spirit. She was thrilled with the experience and got set free from problems plaguing her since childhood. In addition, the meaning of a vision that the Holy Spirit had been revealing to her for almost forty years was finally revealed to her.
