SMI Mission Trips
Japan is the largest UnReached people groups in the world. 1,722 towns and villages have yet to have a single church of their own. Who will go? How about you?
Delivered from Death
This November, I received a phone call about the man "Al" who was expected to die in the emergency ward in Charlotte, NC after being hit head on by a high pressurized steel cylinder. Believe it or not the man was discharged that day! The doctors said it was a miracle. 17 fractures to the skull, a nose gone, an eye gone and his face indented, plus a piece of shrapnel that flew at estimated speed of 600 mph through the safety windows and went through his neck, just missing the main blood artery. Wow. That's why we have 24 hr prayer. I have never met the man but the man has met Jesus. 20 yrs ago he gave his life to Christ. Walking away, he got a rude awakening. May he use the rest of his life sharing what Jesus did for him. He is not out of the woods yet. Thank you for praying.

Praise Report January 2011
Dear Friends and loved ones,
My family met the missionary team from the USA at the laundry store. One of the missionaries asked me, “If I died tonight would I be certain to go to Heaven?” I was shocked to hear this. My husband and I invited the team of five people to our home where they prayed for our disease, and for our whole family to be saved. When they left, I was healed along with our child. Next week I am going to the Tochigi Church in Tochigi, Japan. I hear that you support them to come to Japan.” “Thank you.”

Adam’s Prayer Reaches NY Prison
Testimony: Not to long ago, Dave, Chuck, and Jackie went to visit my son in prison. My son had written many many Christians asking if someone would come and visit him. He has been without a Pastor for several years now, and he has been without someone to fellowship with; the majority of those he had written to never responded back, and out of the many letters, my son has had only 3 Christian men visit him since 2007.
My son Adam, has had such a burden for Central New York for sometime now, and he has used this time to continue to fast and pray for this region. Adam, however was growing weary from being so alone and battling every day the painful battles of the mind of “no one loves you Adam……no one wants you…….not even God wants you…….” Daily he kept pressing in prayer for this region nevertheless. When Dave, Chuck, and Jackie went to visit Adam, there already was a lot of other prisoners who were watching Adam’s life, and could hear him praying throughout the night. What was so miraculous was Adam expected the usual maybe one hour visit, but instead they stayed all day, and then prayed for Adam…….. And witnessed to Correction Officers! Adam was so encouraged that God sent not just any visitor but a visitor who is visible evidence that God hears the cries of His people and for Central New York! As a result, many prisoners lives have been touch for Christ; and some prisoners are now taking Bible Courses and getting training so when they are released they can go back to their areas and win souls for Christ.
” I want to just bake bread and make some good homemade soup, and then take the food to where there are homeless people that no one even knows about. Just give them some good food and love them, and share Jesus with them; they will listen I think to me because I was them!” said one prisoner who committed his life to Christ.
Even more incredible, Adam was supposed to go to Japan in his freshman year in high school, but his appendics burst and he could not go. Japan has been apart of his prayer life ever since!
Things for Adam and us do not always go well, in fact there are days where God’s grace alone gets us through another day, but interceding for this region for many years and now being able to be apart of God’s revival for this region is beyond beyond amazing! No matter what all of us have and are going through……….. each SOUL is worth all that we have and are! Amazing results…….we standfirm………and never give up……… no matter how many times we might be Knocked down or dragged around……. WE NEVER GIVE UP….. BECAUSE JESUS IS OUR SOURCE AND LIFE!!!! More so….We ARE the LIGHT of the world …and we are Gonna Shine! Thanks Dave…Chuck….Jackie for touching our lives and keeping coals of our hearts burning with Hot Passion for Jesus and for SOULS! Blessings and Increase and Victory without end! Amen!
Forever Love,

Healed of a Brain Tumor- Intercessory Prayer
One day after preaching and feeling the Spirit moving, a Japanese man and his wife plus his two children came up for prayer. “So how are you?” I asked.
He answered, “David, I am 36 yrs old and the doctors explained to me that I have a ‘brain tumor” that is inoperable.”
Man was I bummed, Why? Because I knew this would take the real work of intercessory prayer, not just some prayer for healing at the alter up front at the church. Messages are easy to preach, doing them is hard! I told him, “My wife and I are going to pray on this one tonight.” I replied to the distressed dad. That night I prayed for clarity but I did not get an answer. My wife went to prayer and the Lord spoke to her, ” I will go to the man and heal him.” She woke me up and shared that the Lord would indeed heal the man and then the Lord said, “All of the church will pray constantly.
“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” I Thess. 5:16-18
So around midnight I woke up an elder, and told them to get the church mobilized for a battle. We will create a 24 hr UnCeassing Prayer list. The Elder complained by reminding me we were a small group and it was midnight. I replied, God is big and yes we are small. I will let the 1000+ people back in the States to pray for this miracle to happen. We need to set it up now. “If this man was your child, how would you respond to raising up people to pray for a miracle? Would you wait? To make a long story short, for days and months we travailed in prayer. People even threatened me saying, “If God doesn’t answer this prayer your name will be mud.” I just replied, “Just Believe!” After months of prayer, the man along with his wife came to the church one Sunday. I put a side my sermon and had him come up and share. I had no clue as to what he would say. My family want to say thank you for praying for me. I spent three days of tests in one of the top hospitals in Japan. The doctor’s could not explain the change but there seems to be no tumor in my brain. I am completely healed! The Doctors explained that it was the first case of a miracle they had seen.” Praise God!
God is willing at all times to bring a touch into your life, You just have to believe. After this “boot camp in prayer” God has wrought many incrediable miracles such as many cancer victims, gall stones, teeth, bones and a feww cases of people being raised to death.
In reality, “these signs and wonders SHOULD be the norm for you and I to see. “We have not because we ask not.” Or because we have sin in the camp, we aren”t able to see victory. We just become a “Achan” people
The Moravian Church in Saxony Germany used to fight with each other over “theology”
Once 12 men and 12 women pledged to pray an 1 hr. time slot each day, God used this church in one of the mightiest ways in church history. They reached around the World with the Gospel and this was in the mid 18th Century. Their”Prayer Watch” lasted for over 100 years, uninterrupted. Can we do the same?
Healed of Arthritis, Scoliosis, and Fibromyalgia!
In October 2004, I was diagnosed with debilitating arthritis of the spine and Scoliosis. I had three vertebras in my neck which were almost fused together. The doctor told me
I would end up in a wheelchair with partial paralysis
Then it got worse! Shortly after that, I found out I had systemic Candida and Thrush which turned into another debilitating disease; Fibromyalgia and Myofacial Fibromyalgia. It attacks the immune system. My liver, kidneys, spleen and pancreas were completely shot. Doctors tell us there is no cure for it, and you just have to live with it. Every part of my body was in excruciating PAIN and there was never any relief from it all.
During this time I studied and used different natural remedies that helped but still I was in a dangerous state of health. I was prayed for many times in our Bible study groups which helped but I was still, a long ways a way from complete healing from God.
I then met David Spurdle at our church who at the time was taking some members on a mission trip to Japan, which was Sept. 2008. I wanted to go but could not join them. As they were on their trip, the Lord told me to fast and pray for them on the same Wed. as they were in Japan. As I was praying for them, the Lord, in an instant; completely healed me of all my stuff. I actually felt it lift off of me and now I am back to living life, running and exercising the way I used to.
Through all of this, my faith was tested and strengthened, I gained wisdom, knowledge and understanding, saw the power of prayer and most of all I have a deeper relationship with the Lord Jesus. To God be the glory for all the ways He chose to heal and restore my body and life!
