Your Voice. Your Victory. Your Ministry. GoodNewsGazette Delivered From Cigarettes God delivered me from the stronghold of addiction to cigarettes. I’d been praying and using God’s Word over that stronghold for quite a while, but I knew if I kept being consistent in prayer and the Word, I would be delivered, and I was! Plus I asked that the smell of cigarettes would be awful to me and it is! I’m making changes in my life, job and healthy living.... I’m thankful to have you in my life. K.B. | New Baltimore, Mich. From Barren to Fruitful I would like to share how much your ministry has impacted my life. In 1995, the Lord Jesus called me into His family. I was 25 and knew about Jesus but had never heard the Word. He placed a Bible in my hand, gave me a Spirit-filled co-worker to help me along, and you to help me understand the Word and the real meaning of faith. I would read the Word and listen to your tapes and read your books day and night. You showed me how to have real, unwavering faith that continues to this day. Through the faith He has given me, I have seen miracles: my husband coming to the Lord when at one point he had threatened my pastor with death if he continued to minister to me. My son being born, when for 10 years my husband and I were barren with no child. I was getting bitter and realized I needed to believe that God would give us the desires of our hearts. I held on to that promise but I needed to give Him my bitterness, my hurt, my disappointment. I had to give up trying. I had to accept God’s will. One day, I laid it all down and gave Jesus and our Father my future as a parent. I told the Lord, “If You want me to be childless, so be it. I accept this, Lord, because I know You only have the best for me.” The next month I became pregnant and now our son is 9 years old! God is so faithful! Praise Jesus! Today, my husband, my son and I pray together every night, every morning and at every meal. It’s miraculous. God is so, so wonderful. Thank you for your ministry. T.Z. | New York Debt Free in Nine Months The very first time we heard George Pearsons preach on getting out of debt was in 2009. My husband and I set that obedience to the Word into our covenant with God to receive it. Nine months later our only debt (mortgage) was paid off…and we remain debt free. E.T. | Toronto, Ontario Mortgage Free at Last! Thank you so much for your prayers! Finally, our family is now mortgage free after the Lord enabled us to fully pay off the remaining mortgage balance of $6900. Praise the Lord that our mortgage was finished in 9.5 years! Again, thank you, KCM. R. & L.F. | Winnipeg, Manitoba * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * “None of us could live a lifestyle of love on our own.

After reading The Laws of Prosperity book by Kenneth Copeland, my faith grew strong to sow into God's kingdom. I sowed seed of 100,000 Nigerian naira ($300) into God's kingdom (my local church), believing God for a hundredfold harvest. About three months later, I received seed capital of 8 million naira ($25,000) to start my business.... Glory be to God. C.U. | Abuja, Nigeria 16 : BVOV
