Baby Experiences Healing Touch<br />
SEND NEWS ITEMS TO EDITORIAL@COGOP.ORG<br />
A few Sundays ago we received a call during our worship that Brother Calvin Howard’s great-grandson<br />
had stopped breathing and was taken to the emergency room. Many <strong>of</strong> the members rushed to be with<br />
the family. When worship was done, I gathered the elders together and the church began to pray. As we<br />
concluded in prayer the phone was ringing . . . the baby was fine. The interesting point was that almost ten<br />
minutes had passed before the child was restored! The baby is fine. Jesus is alive!<br />

Healing from Leg Pain<br />
In May <strong>of</strong> 2010, my left leg started hurting. It continually got worse. Some days I could hardly work since I was on my feet for<br />
8–12 hours a day. The doctor said I had rheumatoid arthritis. I asked for prayer for the pain, but it did not seem like <strong>God</strong> was<br />
going to heal me on this side <strong>of</strong> heaven. The doctor gave me some pain pills to take two times a day with my food.<br />
In January <strong>of</strong> 2011, I began the 21-day Daniel fast. On the seventh day, I felt I needed to do a full fast; however, I still needed to<br />
take my pain pills that required food. I decided pain or no pain, I was going to complete the full day fast.<br />
From that day on, my leg began to get better. Now I can walk with no pain and have not had to take the pain pills anymore.<br />
Praise the Lord! <strong>God</strong> still heals! It may not be the same day you pray, but He will heal.<br />

Praise Rises at Ladies Conference<br />
Saturday, May 2, 2011 was an exciting day in Suffolk, Virginia as 76 ladies from the district churches as well as many visitors poured<br />
into the sanctuary with excitement and great anticipation for a ladies conference, “Fearfully & Wonderfully Made.”<br />
“I Am Woman, Hear Me Praise” was led by Amy Williams from Living Waters Christian Fellowship. We were overwhelmed by the<br />
presence <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong> and we knew we were in for something special. Lisa Woolston, co-pastor <strong>of</strong> Real Life <strong>Church</strong> in Virginia Beach, kicked<br />
<strong>of</strong>f the conference and had us sitting on the edge <strong>of</strong> our seats with a brief but powerfully anointed message. She painted a vivid<br />
picture <strong>of</strong> how <strong>God</strong> had us in mind when He created the universe, because we are special to Him.<br />
Evangelist Kay Osban, from St. Mary’s, Georgia, refreshed us and had us laughing in the morning<br />
session. Laila Bare, <strong>of</strong> Covenant <strong>Church</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong> in Charlottesville, taught two incredible sessions on<br />
“Giftings in the Body.” We were also blessed by a wonderful and inspiring testimony <strong>of</strong> healing by<br />
Peggy Harmon from Real Life <strong>Church</strong> in Virginia Beach.<br />
The ladies were amazed and impressed by the lovely decorations by Pastor/District Overseer Ben<br />
Fulton and other men in the district who prepared<br />
a sumptuous luncheon. Sister Osban stirred us<br />
when she brought the Word in the afternoon<br />
session—“Prop Me Up on My Leanin’ Side, Lord.”<br />
Amy Williams sang, “He Didn’t Throw the Clay<br />
Away,” which said it all. Everything flowed together<br />
and each left encouraged and blessed! Thank you,<br />
<strong>God</strong>, for making me so wonderfully complex. Your<br />
workmanship is marvelous – and how well I know it!<br />
