Lakeland, FL Healing Revival
I’ve been watching a bit of this on GODtv. Todd Bentley is a wild man! My wife and I experienced his ministry at a church in Mt. Ephraim, NJ in 2002 or 2003. We also saw him during one of our visits to the IHOP in Kansas City, MO. As I watched, I couldn’t help [...]

Both our families were a bit dysfunctional when we were growing up. My mother was a Jehovah’s Witness [...]
