This Christmas and holiday season will be a little difficult for us as Dean's mom passed away in early November. We take great comfort in the fact that she is spending Christmas this year with our Lord and Savior. That is where she has always wanted to be. Sometimes we just aren't willing to give someone up yet, but I would never have her return after the beauty she has seen this last month. Again, thank you for your wonderful letter. We hope you have a joyous and blessed Christmas!!

What a testimony to His love, grace and mercy--1200 new souls for the Kingdom and the healings, and just the beginning! Words can not express the joy in reading these testimonies! Please let me know when you will be at Portland Metro. When you were at Rivers of Life you invited those who would like to help at Portland Metro to let you know. I'm not sure specifically what help you need but please let me know! Our Lord and Savior is alive and still working today and for that I am eternally thankful! One of the many reasons for me to be thankful. I know with God all things are possible, even the family members that seem impossible to reach. My Dad has been home with the Lord now about 5 years to the glory of God! You see a few weeks before we found out Dad had cancer he had a Damascus conversion experience. One night he went to bed an atheist and the next morning he arose saved! He said he had a visitation from God during the night! He went from a wounded-grumpy bitter unsociable person to a "come on in and let me tell you what the Lord has done for me" person, filled with joy, peace and love! Although I never doubted by Dad's love for me and my family his negative bitter attitude was really hard to be around! He once told me that the Bible was the best science fiction book ever written! What can prayers do--bring a bitter grumpy man to joy and peace and eternal salvation. So you see, those "impossible" to reach family members are possible with God! When you were at Rivers of Life you gave me a word and a part of that word included the blessings of having my family saved. I still have a few family members that are running. But I know that I know, one day soon they will come to the saving grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ! I receive your prayer of blessings and return it back to you! Shalom, Cindy ______________________________________ From: Jerry Begin [jbegin@spiritoffire.org] Sent: Monday, December 02, 2002 1:42 PM Thank you I receive your gift.

You gave me a word from the heart of God several years ago: January 1999 in Enumclaw. Life was perched upon a Job-esque portico and falling. You said " And this is the love of God. THIS is the love of God." It has been a terrible and glorious journey to seeing the heart of God. Too much to explain here. You confirmed the word with the information that I was going to have a grandson.. a peice of information that was not at all readily available since the child was born at the end September and his parents would not know for several weeks that he had been conceived. Any way. I have thought of you often. Lord Bless. Most Sincerely Nona ________________________________________ From: Amos D Millard [adm36@juno.com] Sent: Sunday, December 01, 2002 11:49 PM Dear Jerry: Thanks for email.

But in case you did not I wanted to tell you thank you so much for mentoring my Son Joshua during his last days here on earth... We miss him very much even though it has been 2 years since his death... We know that he is with our Lord and Savior and probably rearranging heaven...LOL...We do know that he is singing all the songs he wrote to the Lord daily I am sure and they are most defiantly more awesome then they were here...

It is a great encouragement to me to read what God has been doing through you. I don't know how to go about getting the people here to pray for revival! The ones in my church are very sweet but they seem content with what they have. How do we go about getting people to want more? Is it all up to God? Is there something I should be doing? I want more! I want my family to want more. Last spring my kids went to "Acquire the fire" in the Tacoma dome. They came back all fired up and ready to reach the world. Now they are content to sit back and let the world go by. Any suggestions? I remember when you came and preached at the church I went to in Renton, Wa. Thanks for coming and sharing! Your sister in Jesus, Konnie _________________________________________ From:KANDSSIEGEL@aol.com Sent:Monday, December 02, 2002 8:26 AM Dear Jerry and Jan: God bless you as well, and our desire for you is the same.

It couldn't have come at a better time. Thank you for the blessings of prayers. I have been in a desert for a long time, and am now coming forth knowing my eyes can never come off of God / my Lord Jesus. I desire to be a blessing to Gods people to love them as Jesus. That is and will be my only reason for living the rest of my life. We have a lot of work ahead of us. It will be at times hard but its the hard that makes it great. God be with you and your family and may the blessings of his grace be upon you. ________________________________________ From:Brian G.

The last time was in Kirkland then you just disappeared from sight. I've prayed for you but probably not enough. Our country needs an evangelist like you terribly! We need a Billy Sunday or a Smith Wigglesworth to shake the very foundations of sin in our country. People are so terribly rude now-a-days. You keep up God's work and I'll remember you in my prayers tonight. Let me know if there are any special needs? I have one small one of you. My wife's cancer has returned and is now in her liver,lung and one lymph node. Please pray for her. Her name is Marilyn. Thanks again for the e-mail.

Lynn Wheeler, Evangelist _________________________________________ From:Daniel Garza [healerdan@wcsonline.net] Sent:Monday, December 02, 2002 9:21 AM Dear Brother Jerry, First of all I want to wish you and your family a Happy Merry Christmas and God's Blessing. I was so happy to hear from you, thanks for writing. I also had problems with my computer lost everything. What you have send me it's so encouraging and it couldn't have come at a perfect time. (THANKS). - Isaiah 44:22 Come to the Sweetwater, come bathe your feet. It's Jesus the Lord, our Savior you'll meet, - Cross over to Him, let your heart truly know, That only through Him, will you bask in the glow. - The glow of the Righteous One, loving and sweet. Kneel down and praise Him Let your spirits meet. - Return unto me; for I have redeemed thee. - - Word From The Lord - Now do you see it? Everything, literally everything you commit to My trust is redeemed and returned to you multiplied! It was hard going there for awhile, but reaching the end of yourself did put you in reach of Something greater, did it not? - Obedience is better than sacrifice, as the recent restorations obviously show. Yes, trusting your loved ones to Me, you will be happier with the outcome--always. Remember, Kingdom wisdom never worries and mountains are moved by Mercy, not manipulation. Will you teach this to the children? Thanks Again! Father - Romans 8:4 4: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. - I'm praying that one day just one day we will meet.

One time after I had told them if they prayed for a hedge of protection over their pastor and they said no so when they started doing it they had a special speaker go to their church and ask the people if they prayed for their pastor with a hedge of protection so my parents were amaze that they are suppose to. I love what god is doing with you I think that is so cool that he turned an ugly person to a beautiful man of god. And I pray that god opens the indows of heaven on you and your family for blessing.
