Through conferences, crusades, and individual Church meetings they spark vision and spiritual encouragement.  Their meetings have historically resulted in changed lives, with many salvations, Holy Spirit baptisms, healings and miracles being manifested.  See Eugene May  at http://www.Eugenemay.com

Virtuoso Performing Arts Theatre in agreement with the Dramatic Publishing Company will be producing Narnia March 11-14 and March 18-21.

 

The most famous story of the Chronicles of Narnia has become a musical presentation of this unique, enchanted world filled with creatures and spirits of myth and fable, both good and evil. The principal inhabitants, however, are the intelligent talking animals ruled by the majestic King Aslan, the great lion of Narnia. Though Aslan is often absent from the land (so that his very existence is doubted by some), he returns when the need for him is greatest. And entering Narnia at a moment of high adventure are four children--plucked from our world in unexpected ways to help Narnia and to learn from their Narnia odyssey lessons of courage, unselfishness and wisdom that will help them grow. Narnia wants to sing, and from the excitement of the opening song, to "Aslan's on the Move," to the joy of "You Can't Imagine (How Beautiful It Was)," your spirits will soar with all those in Narnia.

Dr. Roger W. Sapp was saved in a Youth With A Mission coffeehouse ministry for American soldiers in former West Germany in 1972. For next twenty years his experience of physical healing was unpredictable, unreliable and mysterious. In 1993, he had a breakthrough that changed his understanding of healing by focusing him on Christ as the perfect example of healing ministry. Since that time approximately 20,000 healings, deliverances, and creative miracles have accompanied his ministry. For more than ten years he has been equipping other believers to do Christ-like healing

Thursday 7:00pm , Friday 10:30am & 7:00 pm & Saturday 10:30am
