 I hope everything is fine?. I'm so sorry for not telling you about my urgent trip to Manchester.I'm Presently In England, I will be glad if I could confide in you and I want this issue to be confidential between You and I because I don't want people to get worried about my situation.

Please I will like you to assist me with a loan of  $USD 2,900. or any amount you could afford to sort-out my hotel bills first and to get myself back home. I have reported the case to the embassy here and they are going through the necessary procedures but I will appreciate whatever you can afford to assist me with and I'll refund you the money as soon as I return.

Hope all is well with you and blessing continue flow through you and your family. I
recently had my MRI and two doctors appointments. They have shared their concern about
my brain. They are not sure if the radiation has caused two spots or if it is truly reoccurring
tumors. They want me to come back in six weeks for more check up, etc.
I’ve been praying and seeking the Lord’s guidance for clarification. I believe it time
for me to step down and resign from NF President due to my health, even though, I truly
believe I’m made whole through the blood of Christ!
I appreciate Rev. Belinda McCleese taking over, as NF President and know she will do a
wonderful job. Please pray for her.
I want to say thank you all for your prayer, cards and many encouragement. Janie
and I love you.

God bless you abundantly

Rev. Jimmy Schwyhart

No doubt the National Deaf Culture Fellowship Administrative committee members, meeting in Chicago this past weekend, are going to enjoy their fellowship together. How can they not...it's in the name NF.  But they've also been focused on taking care of NF business as well.  

Here are some of the more obvious discussion items, and decisions that were made during this past weekend of meetings at a DVC conference room:

* Emory Dively was elected as NF Interim Secretary by Administrative Committee.
* Carol Vetter is now our North Central Regional Rep, taking JoAnn Smith's place.
* Chris Hughes is now officially our NF International Liaison (elected by Adm Comm)
* Chris Hughes will announce the new NF convention date after the contract is signed soon.  Possibly this week.

Delegates and visitors who are arriving on the weekend prior to the 54th General Council in Phoenix, are welcome to join Phoenix First Assembly and the Assemblies of God National Prayer Center for the pre-Council prayer service on Sunday, July 31, from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

The meeting will be held in Phoenix First's Prayer Pavilion of Light. This will be a time for strategic, intentional prayer for the meetings of the General Council, the City of Phoenix and the Assemblies of God Fellowship at large. For those who are unable to attend, the prayer service will be live-streamed.
 
"We believe this is a pivotal time for the Assemblies of God," states John Maempa, director of the National Prayer Center. "Many people have been in prayer over the past few months and we believe it is important to devote a special time of strategic prayer and intercession on July 31 to seek God's blessing, favor and direction as we gather for these important meetings."
 
The prayer gathering will be conducted along the line of a concert of prayer with specific prayer emphases led by various participants. "We believe that as a result of this focused time of prayer, we will see God's hand move in powerful ways," states Maempa. "Our prayer is that General Council will be more than a time of meeting together for business, fellowship and worship, but a time when God will move sovereignly among us." 
 
Each aspect of the meetings, beginning with the Influence Conference through the children's and youth events, business sessions and evening rallies, will be covered in prayer. Also, special prayer focus will be given to ministries within the City of Phoenix as youth are involved in Ambassadors in Mission (AIM) outreaches and as Convoy of Hope ministers to needs within the city. Specific focus also will be given to the ministry of the Assemblies of God Fellowship nationally and globally.
 
"The Assemblies of God is uniquely positioned to have an impact on the Church and culture in unprecedented ways," Maempa adds. Exciting, dynamic initiatives in ministry and ministry resources will be shared during the Council week.
 
The National Prayer Center has been working closely with Saeed Hosseini, minister of prayer at Phoenix First Assembly, to organize this prayer gathering. The Prayer Pavilion of Light, a beautiful glass and steel structure at the base of a mountain overlooking the city of Phoenix, will provide a beautiful setting for the prayer gathering. At night, the glass panels glow with changing hues of color that can be seen across the city. Accommodating more than 200 people, the pavilion is always open and accessible for those who want to spend time in prayer. 
 
"We are pleased to welcome to the Phoenix Prayer Pavilion of Light at Prayer Mountain all who can attend the pre-Council prayer service," states Hosseini. "We are anticipating a great move of God and are trusting that this prayer gathering will pave the way for all He has to offer for this year's entire General Council."

The magazine was first published on July 19, 1913, the year before the formation of the Assemblies of God.

J. Roswell and Alice Flower established The Christian Evangel to report on revivals and missions activities and published it out of their home in Plainfield, Indiana. The Flowers gave their magazine to the Assemblies of God in 1914, when J. Roswell Flower was elected to serve as the first secretary. E. N. Bell, the first chairman, also gave his magazine, Word and Witness, to the new organization and the two periodicals merged in January 1916.

In 1919, the magazine took its current name, the Pentecostal Evangel.

After 98 years and more than 5,000 issues, the Pentecostal Evangel continues to bless hundreds of thousands of people each week since its beginning.

One does not have to be able to hear to receive the word of God, Marva Petrus said.

Petrus, who has served for nine years as pastor at Assembly of God Church in Oak Brook, Ill., is now going to serve at Cornerstone Church in Godfrey.

"I had been called by God two and a half years ago and told that I would not be staying at Oak Brook Community Deaf Church for long, and I would be moving and being a pastor to another church, but he didn't tell me where or when. Again, I had felt the call by God last January of 2011 that I would be a pastor to a church in the St. Louis area," Petrus said.

Godfrey Cornerstone Church, an Assembly of God church, was founded March 20. Cal Sweenson is the church's pastor.
