To My Dear Friends:
This is part of a copy of a letter I sent to a friend. I thought I would share it with you.
This is a personal note just from Jan and me. I thought I would take this time and bring you up to date on what the Lord has been up to since we saw each other, and to thank you for standing with us with your friendship, prayers and support in the battle for souls. My God is a awesome God! He told me that 2003 was going to be a banner year, but I had no idea how big it really was going to be. Already over 900 people have given their hearts to the Lord. First of all, let me bring you up to date on the family stuff. Everyone is in great health. Praise the Lord! We got home just before Christmas, and Jan and Jeri had prepared everything so wonderfully.

I was able to spend some time with all the family so this year was special. Sometimes I just fly in and leave in a few days. I did preach but it was in the area so I was not gone for long. Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke had a friend holding some meetings at a hotel in Issaquah, WA and they asked me to speak Saturday - Monday after Christmas. It was such a delight to see God move. Now after six weeks of straight preaching I am taking 4 days to be with Jan for Valentines Day.We started with what was supposed to be a one week set of meetings at New Life Assembly in Sherwood, OR. The power of the Holy Spirit fell so strongly we continued for three weeks. I was overwhelmed by the pull of the Holy Spirit for repentance. Even before I could finish preaching men and women would start to cry. The sobs and tears almost drowned out everything else. Then people would just jump up and say, "we can't wait any longer, least our heart breaks" and they would run to the altar and fall to their knees crying out to God. A major college in the area - not known as a Pentecostal college, but rather a Baptist one - had many students come. The student body is over 1,600 and we had almost 10% of the student body get saved in two weeks time. The students have joined together and asked me to come to the college. Needless to say, no small stir has arisen. I just love this job! If there was not any controversy, I sometimes think I am not probing deep enough with the Holy Spirit to touch the hearts of the people. A young girl who had cancer got healed in the meetings. It was one of the most dramatic healings I had seen in a while. Her breast cancer had spread to her lymph nodes. She had over 300 tumors and a lot of them were visible. They were about the size of a plum - some the size of an egg. She came back three days later and they were all gone. She went to the doctors and now they say her cancer has gone into remission. My God is an awesome God! As of right now I am starting my fourth week at Central Park Neighborhood Church. I was only supposed to be there for one week also. One hundred and sixty kids have gotten saved. Over 400 adults also have been saved. I don't have space in this letter to explain this move - it is awesome. From the desk of Jerry & Jan Gaffney 
This is the young lady that was healed of cancer. She had not been to church very much. The day she came she was so scared. You can see a video of her giving her testimony on my web site. Http://66.197.132.147/videos/page11.htm She was also delivered from drugs. It has been a blessing beyond measure. 
To the left are the college students who want me to hold a crusade on their campus. I will be going there in March. Please, pray. I just know revival will break out.
The man to the right had been an alcoholic for 40 yrs; the woman 20 yrs. Both of them are radically saved and totally delivered. Debby, you should see them now. Almost no one recognizes them. Isn't Jesus wonderful? The insert picture is what he looked like at first. 
The picture to the left is me passing out Bibles to those who got saved. Most of these kids do not have moms and dads at home. This is the first Bible they ever had. It makes me cry to see the joy they have on their faces 
The kids to the right are in the poorest part of Oregon. Drug dealers and prostitutes are right outside the church. Shots go off all the time. Everyone in the church hits the floor. They told me to do likewise. When I stood my ground and said, "No weapon formed against me shall prosper", it won their hearts. A few months ago we gave about $3,000.00 worth of toys to these kids. I am going back in April. Bill, please pray; because no one ever goes there. One last thing: I have been offered 200 free hours on TV for one year. Yes, I said free! For the second time, the owner of the TV station said he liked what the lord was doing and made the offer. All I have to do is edit the film I have for the time slot. Can you imagine how many people could get saved by this one tool alone? Blessings My Friends Until next time Jerry & Jan HOME Jerry Gaffney Ministries PO Box 5, Centralia, WA 98531 |
