At a food pantry ministry in Brookshire, Texas, Pastors Randy and Jennifer Campbell of the Open Door Fellowship demonstrate the love of Jesus by distributing food to the poor. They also offer healing ministry to the sick and other needy people who come as a demonstration of the power of the name of Jesus. God has done many miracles of healing and deliverance as they minister through the laying of hands to the infirm who wait in line to receive food at their food pantry. A work of transformation in the community of Brookshire has begun through this merging of the ministries of compassion and power.

More and more people are now coming not for the food, but for prayer in the name of Jesus!

Check back again soon for many more reports of God's grace at work as Christ's compassion and power flow together through His people to bring transformation to the community of Brookshire!

Portions from December 2007 Newsletter

"In March we made our annual trip to Indonesia. Even with all the health issues it was a very fruitful ministry time. Our children's minister, Vicki Watson and Pam Johnson from Lakewood Church went with us. They had the opportunity to connect and do a great amount of ministry to children in various locations by bringing the Father's Heart message of love.

We had the opportunity to teach and equip believers in healing as a tool for evangelism. As always, God shows up and brings forth healings. One specific healing was a woman who had migraine headaches for years and could hardly function. She was totally healed much to the surprise of the people. Another example was a woman who had such pain in her knees she couldn't hardly walk. She wasn't going to come to church that Sunday, but her husband encouraged her to come. She was healed and accepted Christ that day. This woman was a Muslim! Along with demonstrating His desire to bring healing to people, we had the opportunity to teach on the Father's heart. God good all the time and is always faithful to heal and to show His love for people.

Another focus this year in Jakarta was to connect again with some of the leadership and others involved in the National Prayer Network (network of 5 million intercessors). God continues to expand His Kingdom in Indonesia. Even in the midst of tsunamis, earthquakes, floods, terrorism, etc, the church is rising up and not shrinking back. The result is the light is dispelling the darkness. It is an amazing testimony to prayer and hungering and thirsting for God to come in the midst the darkness.

We also got to go back to Surabaya with Sister Hanna (Mother Teresa of Indonesia). We spent an evening ministering to the orphans displaced because of the jihad several years ago. Most lost their parents and some were even involved in the killing. They live in a orphanage in a cemetery and actually sleep on the graves.

Sister Hanna also set up an evening of ministry in a Koranic boarding school. We met the Muslim cleric, Gus, several years ago. He was involved years back with the jihads but now works for reconciliation. They set up a dinner and invited many Muslim clerics and we all ate together. After the meal I had an opportunity to speak to the leaders and the people in the village and share how much God loves them and how He wants us walking in unity. The whole village was there and just as the prayers go out over the loud speakers, so this was going out over the loud peakers!! There was great joy as we shared our hearts and love for one another."

"The Chuck Wagon Ministry (Prayer and Food Pantry) continues to be blessed. This year we distributed 3530 bags of groceries which also means 3530 people were prayed for. We continue to see people receive physical healing and inner healing through prayer and offering love, hope, and healing."
