If you are going to ask the people who know her well on how they are going to describe her, the term “spark plug” is often used. You must be wondering “why?”. You see, she is a woman who knows how to speak her mind clearly and get what she wants if need be, but she  does so with a charming  smile. Assessing first impressions so quickly both personally and professionally is her patented mark and generally she is  not fond of abdicating initial conclusion. She is considered a very generous person in all aspects of her life especially in friendship, family and love. She smart, beautiful and sensitive, although she also tends to be a bit shy.

God made a miracle in my life when I came to see your website; I was inspired to note the activities of your ministry that touched my heart greatly.   Ours is an Individual & Independent ministry serving the Lord with utmost faith only. I have been ministering in 10 churches with 10 co-pastors who are dedicated and anointed for His service and keeping in view of misery, we had an Orphanage with 30 orphan children lost one, both and abandoned by their parents; According to James 1:27 and Proverbs 22:9 we are providing food, clothing, education and spiritual care and all accommodation at free of cost.   Part of our work we visit villages and conduct mini Gospel meetings, win their souls and leading them to the Kingdom of God. I was encouraged after having gone through your Id and I decided to work with your ministry and in your fellowship.   On my behalf, on behalf of our church family, co-pastors and orphan children we are inviting you to visit India in the year 2012 to minister with us to lead lost souls to Christ through conducting outreach crusades, strengthening pastor's by conferences to win many a perishing souls to add to His kingdom and request you to join in prayer with us.   We were all praying for you and for the abundance of your ministry, further I lovingly request you to pray for us, for our ministry and for our invitation to you to visit India to minister with us in 2012. We love you and look forward to hearing from you very soon, In His Service; Pastor Sanjeeva

He is blowing on you even Now releasing an anointing that will change every person  you to speak to. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.

I work in San Antonio. I am a computer programmer. You can see below that I received your email at 1154 am this past Thursday. About 15 minutes prior to getting and reading your mail I was working with a co-worker of mine who is from India. I have worked with Ram for nearly 10 years. For nearly 10 years I become very frustrated and agitated with this man because he does such a poor job of explaining himself. I think he is trying to say "X" and start to converse that way, and then halfway into the conversation it seems like he is talking about "Y", and then after trying to get on the same page, it often turns out it really was about "X". When he asks for my help, I usually put him off and say that I am busy (which is true), and will eventually, reluctantly, go help. Meanwhile, I will make myself immediately available to anyone else who needs my help--usually at the expense of getting my own work done. Well this past Thursday turned out to be like the rest, and I know it is because I expected it to go that way. Well, before I left his desk I told him I was sorry for being so abrasive towards him. I told him that I was aware that I am not treating him properly and asked his forgiveness. He kind of blew it off, so I went through it again. I walk back to my desk, and there is your email in my inbox that wasn't there when I left my desk. I started reading it and have to admit that I really didn't even know what scorn meant. Then when I read the word CONTEMPT, it all clicked! I immediately knew in my spirit that I have been having contempt toward Ram all this time! It was all I could do not to start sobbing at that instant and tried to stay composed in the office. As I read further your words about churlish, I readily identified with also exhibiting RUDENESS towards Ram. I followed your advice to tear that wall down later after discussing the day's events with my wife. I find it utterly amazing that these were notes of yours from TWENTY TWO YEARS AGO! And the Lord brought it to me IN THE VERY INSTANT when He knew I was humble enough to receive it. I praise Him and just wanted to thank you for following the prompting to send your message out. In the meantime, I will be taking Ram to lunch today. Please pray for him, he is a Hindu. Thank you! Kevin McCabe Bulverde ,

rom: Lyn Gitchel Sent: Sunday, May 15, 2011 8:47 AM To: CAROLYN Subject: Re: Light In The Lord   One thing you quoted in your sermon notes finally brought understanding to me about something that happened years ago.   You quoted C. S. Lovett writes that the old nature does not inherit a place in heaven.  It drops off at physical death.    When I was traveling fulltime in the ministry, doing seminars all over the country, a friend often traveled with me, She was gifted in song leading.  She loved the Lord, but she was also a very negative person. She saw the bad rather than the good in everything. Eventually she died. I was with her when it happened and while I was waiting in the hospital while they were trying to resuscitate her, God gave me a vision. I saw her, after death, standing in a beautiful green pasture. She was smiling and happy, but she was very tiny. Only about 2 feet tall. I said to her, "Why are you so tiny?" She replied, "That's all that was left of me after I saw the Lord!" Wow! Lyn Gitchel

    -----Original Message----- From: Lyn Gitchel  Sent: Friday, May 06, 2011 8:58 AM To: East Gate Ministires Subject: Re: East Gate Ministires Sermon Notes: PROSPERITY FROM GOD   I read your sermon notes with interest. I think the comment you made about God providing a supernatural  supply for His elect in times of natural disaster is right on. Back in the 70s, I was teaching at the time about the plagues in  Egypt and had just zeroed in on the fact that the Israelites had  light in their houses when all of Egypt was in total darkness. We met in a small chapel way out in the country and the area was  prone to power failures from time to time. One night, during a chapel service, one of the congregation left to  go to the bathroom. She came back and said everywhere was in  darkness, no light. But the chapel lights stayed on. We investigated and the whole village was in darkness,  street lights  and all, everywhere except the chapel lights. We said some silly things at the time! The chapel lights were  fluorescent ones and we said, "Maybe they got stuck!" So we turned  them off and on again. They came back on. It was a mystery, but we enjoyed it and went on with the service. The next day, my husband, who was into doing electrical work, decided  to climb up into the attic and investigate. When he came back down he  had goose bumps! He said, "The power was off in the very line that  came in to the lights." He could tell because it went also to the  clock and the clock had stopped. But the chapel lights had stayed on. It could only have been a supernatural supply from God to meet our  need in the chapel as we worshipped Him. And we never forgot our  lesson in how God can meet the needs of His own. I believe He will do this more and more, even as may disasters hit us. We just have to trust Him, Lyn

I received a letter from Andy this week, as I am sure he told you. It has been humbling to me that I was able to stand beside a great man of God. It has also been a blessing that God allowed me to  sit under your covering as a Pastor and as a Prophet. I checked out your website and I am so gratified to see that you continue in your ministry.  Andy told me about Mr. Don's passing, and I am sorry. I am working as a psychologist in a men's prison out here in California. It is not the kind of work I dreamed of doing, but God was very clear in His calling when he placed me in my job. I see it as an opportunity to "preach freedom to the captives." I hope that this e-mail finds you well. I have missed you and have prayed for you and your ministry many times over the years.  I will let you go for now, but I would love to hear from you, as your time permits. I love you, Jodi Col lins
