I am so compelled by the Great Awakening Tours that even as my family is fighting a cancer diagnosis, I still go out beyond our inner circle and tell people about the good news of the gospel! The news that Jesus came to seek and save the lost is much bigger than any devastating health care news a family can receive. When sharing about the good news of salvation, joy erupts in my heart and it spurs me on above and beyond our household problems. My wife has taken on a new strength in this too. I see her moving in a supernatural strength and determination that I know comes from the fire fueling.

It is as though it is healing her from the inside out. I know that as I continue to take care of the Lord’s business, His first priority which is souls, I know that everything we need will be taken care of.  I know that my wife is healed so by faith we go ahead and minister anyway ignoring what the doctors are saying in the natural. The anointing on this soul winning since the cancer diagnosis has ramped up in intensity.  I can only describe it that it has much greater purpose.  Nothing else matters.   My children have experienced the fire and the joy from the Great Awakening too.  Last Sunday night we returned home from church and my son Daniel received the joy of the Lord.  He has never had the uncontrollable laughter and joy before. It was hours before it wore off.  God is doing a purifying in his life. The Great Awakening Tours is changing our lives. –Gary J.
