E-ministry, or our email prayer ministry began about two years ago with one single prayer request from a mother of a twleve year old girl in Texas. The mother, Rhonda and I were doing a person's locate when she mentioned to me in a email that her daughter, 12 year old Abigail, had been taking treatments for leg bone cancer. They were praying for her healing. We joined them in special prayer along with the Aunt Judy. Long story short Abigail is healed today of leg bone ancer. She has been through some painful treatments and multiple surgeries but thank God, prayer, and the anointed field of medicine, Abigail is healed.
Rhonda, her mother, would alway send her emails to me signed "Searching for Rainbows." Rhonda, who is now a spokesperson for children at Texas' MD Anderson hospital who are undergoing treatments for potentially terminal illnesses now signs her emails "Seeing Rainbows."
We made a few emails encouraging others to send their prayer requests and the ministry developed into an international email prayer request ministry with approximately 1200 families representing approximatley 2400 prayer warriors praying for you. In 2008 Silent Ministries also began offering online abuse and grief counseling.
Individuals have been delivered from drug addiction, mental, and emotional trauma from abuse and domestic violence. Inmates have testified to accepting Jesus as Savior and recieve Bible courses through the Inmate Pen Pal Ministry. Others have testified to deliverance from depression, suicidal thoughts and tendencies, and witchcraft. There are testimonies of healings and family and marital recovery.
We strive to serve God as silently as possible but sometimes we have to shake the devil's front door to get his attention to the fact that we all are created by God for Him to use and to be at peace and no individual was created to be bound, beaten, battered, abused, or stay sick and depressed, discriminated, and discouraged.
We are all God's beautiful creation and God has a purpose for each of us. Our trials and suffeinrgs are what teaches us obedience and makes us graduates of His school to go forth and help others.
Please send us your requests and pray for us. If you wish to join us it is free. It is our vision in 2009 to open an International Community Chapel of Hope to teach the power of unity, love, prayer, and friendship. We already have a burden and vision for a mission program to a church in India with Pastor Dakes. We have recieved over 50 photos of children in that ministry and orphaage who are themselves being delievered from witchcrft and hunger and taught how to be self-supported. The power of unity is grossly underestimated. We will teach prayer and the Word.
We are blessed with the services of Ms. Miranda Rhuda to set up our newest web sites. We thank god for her skills and talents. We look for God to do great things in all of our and your lives as we all obey God.
If you wish to donate to this ministry it goes to support these ministries such as clothes, food, Christmas and birthdays for disadvantaged kids, stamps to correspond with inmates, self-defense products for the abused and battered, cell phones for the disadvantaged battered mother in imminent danger, protection orders and haven for battered women and children, child support investigations and child watch and security for "at risk" children, weekly messages, and inspirational books written by Jim Harnage on life, abuse, ovecoming, and how to stand up for yourself.
There are just too many arms of this ministry to mention here but we strive to work for God's glory. We ask for your love, prayers, and support but most of all we ask for your prayers. God is awesome and He has everything under control.
God loves you and we love you.
