Prescott truly is a miraculous church. Just like in Bible days
our church, based in a small town
in an insignificant state, has grown
to encompass over 2000 churches literally around the inhabited
world.
God has blessed our church
with fine pastors, with willing and
ready disciples, and a core group
of true believers who share in a vision and a passion for Gods will.
Every Sunday morning we
hear the reports from our various
outreach ministries. Our concert
venues, One80, is powering on
with a new generation of young
people who are using this tried and
proven method of evangelism.
Our impact teams continue to
travel around Arizona, and even to
Las Vegas, for days of intense and
focused evangelism. It gives our
teens and others an expression in
door to door and local evangelism.
They get to see real sinners where
they live, and participate in genuine evangelism. They go far and
wide to support the efforts of our
fellow churches and continue to
bring back exciting reports of real
people getting saved, healed, and
delivered.
Our bands, which are the backbone of our concert ministry, go
along to do Gospel music concerts. Anyone who feels called to
pioneer should take advantage of
this valid and exciting opportunity
to see how it all works.
Its exciting to see our outreach
to the recovery community active
and growing. Project 180 gives a
Jesus based 12-step approach to
recovery. Thank God for the faithful men and women who spend
their time and share their love with
these needy people. Doors continue to open to the men and women
and they bring good news of open
hearts as well.

Conferences, seminars, crusades keep Pastor Mitchell on the road
astor Mitchell ministered one seminar in Phoenix preceding the January Bible Conferences at the Fellowship
Worldwide Leaders meeting that is conducted annually. These are always insightful times when issues and decisions on
standards and trends that affect our worldwide ministry are discussed and agreed
upon.
During this time, Pastor Mitchell
brought insight on how many of the things
we do such as Bible Conferences, Pioneer Rallies, and various other ministries
evolved over a period of time.
In January, Pastor flew to Redlands,
California for an area wide Mens Discipleship class for Pastor Richard Cox and
most area pastors and churches. A full
building testified to the eagerness of men
to hear Gods Word.
Pastor Mitchell flew by commercial
air to Mexico City for an annual Miracle Healing Crusade for Pastor Salvador
Castaneda. The arena that is their church
building is a homemade boxing arena that
houses approximately 1,200 people, Mexican-style! The 1,100 people in attendance

A family that assists in our Childrens Church has been stirred up by
several opportunities to outreach by
putting together Puppet Shows geared
toward the Holiday themes. During
these park Puppet Show outreaches
we have prayed with 37 people. These
puppet shows are based on the grace
and truth of Jesus Christ during Easter
and Thanksgiving. To many it is the

People were lined up outside the sanctuary to witness this event. Joey,
who thought he could make it on his
own, soon discovered he could not
overpower the tormentors of darkness.
He then cried out to Jesus to save him
and of course Jesus did. This exciting
and breathtaking play caused people to
repent of their sins and many turned to
Jesus that night.

After the revival there was a difference in the atmosphere of the church.
Men and women are rising up for
God, theyre not just satisfied with
coming to church, but God is using
their lives. There are others who are
making a stand for
holiness, they gave
up their boyfriends,
their worldly friends
and God is using
them powerfully in
his church.
In September we
managed to bring a
new convert to conference, and God
touched her life. To-
over the years is the lack of larger venues. This year was a favor from God,
because we were able to conduct the
conference in more convenient place,
which was an event theater inside a
mall. We also gained spiritual favor in
the form of powerful messages from
Pastor Jessie Cluck from Guam, and
from our National Leader Pastor Alberto Desepida and select local preachers. We were able to launch three new
pioneer works in the final night of the
conference.
This year marks a breakthrough for
our church, for we had an increase in
attendance, finances and workers who
dedicated their lives for Jesus.
A warm thanks to Pastor Wayman
Mitchell who shares his vision with
the Philippines, and to Pastor Alberto
Desepida for his guidance here in our
Lucena City church.
Thank you for prayers and support.
Please continue to pray for our church
and our country. To God be the glory!

Dear Friends,
Over the past centuries, Jews have cried, Next year in Jerusalem, to express their longing for the land
of Israel. It has been 3,000 years since David captured Jerusalem from the Jebusites, who were descendents of Melchizedek. This year, we will be privileged to visit Jerusalem and fulfill what millions of Jews
were unable to do. For this, we are thankful, as we recognize that we live in Messianic Times when the
coming of the Lord draws near. We invite you to join us on this visit to the land God promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and made holy by prophets of God, by our Savior Jesus Christ who died and was
resurrected there, and by His disciples. We are planning to make this a memorable trip for you, to let you
feel with your heart as you stop in ancient holy places and are informed about scriptural events. Come
join us on this inspirational, testimony-building tour of Israel.
Sincerely, Pastor Richard Cox
