Ministry News
Greetings once again in the name of our blessed Savior and Lord Jesus Christ! I hope that you have had a great Summer with family and friends!
You may notice our reversion to using our ministry name, Exchanged Life Ministries. This is because the Lord has led Crystal and I to separate the two ministries as she moves forward to found Redeeming Hearts Ministries as its own ministry. Please pray her through the process of filing with the state and IRS non-profit applications.
My partnership with Cross Care Ministries continues to flourish in spite of an onslaught of push back from the enemy. Praise the Lord, we are victorious in Christ Jesus! I am currently running a group just for Pastors and they are loving the Journey Tools teachings. Also, a local church has been holding Revival meetings each week, and we have been promoted by the leadership. This has generated a long list of interested folks and many have gone through our taste and see program, Jumpstart Your Journey.
I continue to see individual clients in person and online. One of the few good things about COVID is the development of Telehealth Online platforms. As a result, I can securely hold video sessions with my PA clients. I even have one international client! Amazing! So, if you know someone who needs to break free from their flesh patterns and heal past hurts, have them reach out to me to see if our ministry is a good fit for them. Thank you!
Testimony Time
Last week, I was blessed to hear from some of my Journey Tools groupies that they were so grateful to the Lord for directing them to go through the Journey Tools program.
They were amazed at how clearly they were hearing Holy Spirit speak in their spirit His answers to simple questions:
- “Lord, what am I feeling”
- “Lord, why am I feeling this”
- “Lord, what else do I need to know?”
Could connecting with the Wonderful Counselor be that simple? Yes, it can and is. These questions are just the starting point for growing in hearing Him and inviting Him to speak His healing into our lives.
They shared that as they moved onto the second toolset, the FED map, they were able to interact with Holy Spirit in a way that He revealed lies that they were believing about themselves, God and others that needed to be renounced and exchanged for His truth that He then spoke into them.
As they progressed through the program, each of them had Complex Grief issues that needed healing. They learned to allow Holy Spirit to sort out the different issues to deal with them one at a time. The relief He brought them was pro-found.
They praise the Lord that they are now equipped to interact with the Lord using these tools on a daily basis as He leads them. They have new perspectives on their relationship with the Lord and how He sees them. Also, they are able to more effectively navigate relationships with family and friends because they are looking first to the Lord instead of get-ting in a tug-of-war with others.
Testimonies like these make my heart sing and thank the Lord for His work through Journey Tools! For a taste of Journey Tools go to: https://journeytools.mykajabi.com/jumpstart-your-journey
Ken Keeler’s Update
SPECIAL PRAYER ALERT: On Sept 23rd Ken is undergoing Whipple Surgery to remove a double polyp. The stay in the hospital is about a week and recovery is about 6 weeks. He would appreciate your prayers.
Ken continues to preach Sunday mornings at Zion Bible Church and most Sunday evenings at his home church, C.O.D. His weekly Men’s Groups had their Summer break and will resume once he heals up from his surgery.
