Testimonies... God does it for them, He'll do it for you!

Great River Renewal is dependent upon you. We need your testimonies of what God is doing in our area. We need you to spread this to others. Please forward this newsletter to your contact list. We want this newsletter to be gathering from and giving to Christians all over the Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.

Email us at GreatRiverRenewal@gmail.com and let us know about your testimonies and upcoming events.


We’ve made some changes to Great River Renewal. In an effort to make this better, and make the calendar better in particular; Great River Renewal is now housed at Blogger.com. 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 www.GreatRiverRenewal.com and bookmark that page.


Testimony: Marlene had been diagnosed since childhood with a mitral-valve prolapse. It had unfortunately become such a significant issue that she and her doctor’s were preparing for a medical procedure to correct the problem. Late in October, Marlene was at the Sanctuary in Davenport and went up for prayer, not necessarily for the valve problem. The prayer concluded with something to the effect of “and Lord, give her an overhaul.”

On November 11th, Marlene reported she had been to the doctor’s office earlier in the week. They could find no evidence of the heart condition that she had for over forty years.


Testimony: Ryan is a young man who had been in a very bad car accident a couple years ago. He had been in continual pain for more than two years. Recently, he visited the Sanctuary. During worship, the Holy Spirit led Inga to go pray for Ryan. Later that morning, Gary led Ryan in a prayer for salvation. Inga spoke with Ryan later that week. He said, “I don’t know what you did, but I haven’t had any pain since you prayed for me.”


Testimony: Havilah Jones was recently participating in the All-State Choir festival in Des Moines (Congratulations Havilah!). For hours, she and a couple hundred other students were stuck in metal folding chairs for rehearsal after rehearsal. Sitting next to her was a young man who had problems with his legs that would cause significant pain if he wasn’t able to get up and walk around. That was pretty much impossible when you are in the middle of a sea of students, packed together with no room to stretch your legs, let along walk around. Havilah offered to pray for him which he less than enthusiastically agreed to. She prayed a simple prayer that the pain would leave his legs. At the next break she asked him how his legs were doing. The pain was gone completely.


Testimony: On November 11th, Natalie Schneckloth was at the Sanctuary in Davenport. She responded to a call for prayer that God wants to hear what you want. She and her husband Cory needed a financial breakthrough. On November 18th, Natalie reported that she had just had the most prosperous week in the history of her relatively new Mary Kay business. The normal goal for someone in her position would be 30 meetings in a month. She had 30 meetings that week, and received more business in one week than she had seen in the previous five weeks combined.


Calendar: Several new events have been added to the calendar. The calendar is located at the bottom of the page at www.GreatRiverRenewal.com .

Iowa Arise! with Mike & Cindy Jacobs is on December 14th in Des Moines.
