Ministry News
Greetings once again in the name of our blessed Savior and Lord Jesus Christ! I hope you enjoyed your Christmas and New Years with your loved ones whether in person or by zoom. I am hopeful that as Spring and Summer approach we will see restrictions lift in all states.
My counseling schedule has picked up a little and running groups in partnership with Cross Care Ministries continues to be a real joy. I am excited to let you know that Journey Tools has contracted with a nationwide Christian organization that has a global reach as well. We are so eager to see how the Lord is going to use Journey Tools to help so many hurting people over the next few years if the Lord tarries.
We all know that there is a battle being waged in the spirit realm for not only our nation but also the world. I am still praying that the Lord will bring one last revival and harvest before Jesus is sent for His Bride. I am coming up on my one year anniversary of my Journey Tools healing. At that time, I asked the Lord why He did so much, so fast in my life. He spoke the following in my spirit, “Robyn, there is a tsunami of revival coming, and I want you up to speed for it.” So, this past year has been a year of preparation for me, Donny and the rest of our teammates.
We are looking for mature believers who understand their identity in Christ to go through Journey Tools and then join our group facilitator team. So, ask the Lord if he wants you to join us for this incredible journey of healing. We’d love to have you!
Testimony Time
A long time friend and former client who is in her 70s, contacted me for an emergency session after battling debilitating anxiety and panic attacks. Health issues were some of her trigger points as well as the stress of COVID restrictions that were separating her from her grandkids. Her medical doctor told her to call her therapist.
I was able to get her in quickly, and when we asked to Lord to show us the root cause of her panic, He took her to a powerful childhood trauma. Her father was in the military in WWII and spent part of his time in post-war Germany. He had the privilege of liberating the Jews from concentration camps. Stories of the horrors were related to her both at home and at the school for military kids on base. These stories plus hearing the concern of ‘what if the war broke out again… how would mom and I get home to America?’ weighed heavy on this little girl’s heart. Fear took root, and she owned the lie that she had to protect herself and her mom.
Someone in her school thought it was a good idea to take these young, elementary age kids on field trips to the concentration camps and walk them through the showers/gas chambers. She was terrified! Fight or flight kicked in as they headed toward the shower building. She thought that they were going to kill her. She determined to live by holding her breath, bolting through the showers to another doorway. She raced to the door, opened it only to find not safety but the ovens where they cremated the bodies.
Together, we used Immanuel Healing prayer and the FED map tool to walk with Jesus through this memory. The Lord showed her His Presence in the memory. He was protecting her the whole time! She forgave her parents and the teachers that took her there, and exchanged the fear for God’s peace. There was a visible release in her body and countenance. All Glory to God for His healing power!
Pastor Ken’s Update
From Pastor Ken Keeler: I have been teaching the men’s group, Christ Plan for Victorious Living Bible study. It has been going great, as we are in the second last lesson. There is great discussion and interaction, and the guys are learning to live out of their Identity in Christ.
Also, I was able to finish writing a commentary verse by verse for Romans 5 through 8 for a study that my daughter-in-law is putting together. So, we are really excited to see how the Lord is going to use that moving forward.
I continue to substitute teach at York Christian school which provides me many opportunities to speak life into the students there.
Please pray for these preaching and teaching opportunities and for more opportunities to preach in churches.
