Update Praise Reports & Photos From Galveston Texas!

Shalom everyone, What a powerful time Bill Henderson is having in Galveston Texas! The reports and miracles are daily and all glory to Jesus! Many volunteers on the ground are saying that they have never seen anointing on the streets like the anointing that Bill walks in. He is in his element! When God places a gift on your life, please take it serious because it does affect others' destiny in this life and throughout eternity.

The following are a few of the wonderful things that have been happening while Bill has been co-laboring with Friendships Ministries, and with his dear friends Don & Sondra Tipton who lead this effective ministry of humanitarian aid. Each day Bill and the team feed between 2,000 and 2,500 people on the battered island of Galveston who are still in great need of support and love.

The feeding line extends over a block long. As the people come and get in line to eat, Bill passes out approximately 1,500 tracks each day and asks each one if there is anything he can pray with them about. He has earned the name by all there "Disaster Pastor Bill".

Every 15 minutes he follows up while the people eat with a quick message and an opportunity for the people to give their lives to Jesus. Each time at least 80% of the hands of these precious people are raised in surrender to Jesus.

One lady from the Island named Leticia, had not seen her kids for over a month. They had been displaced in the Hurricane. Bill prayed with her that she would have a miracle within 24 hours and by the end of the day she got word where they were. A true miracle!

Another man, Joey, accepted Jesus, got baptized and now comes daily to help the rest of the team of volunteers. Another man came to Bill and told him that his fiancé was in an accident and was in a coma. Bill prayed with the man and that same day the woman came out of the coma! Stories come in daily of men whom Bill has prayed for that needed jobs, and one by one they have come to Bill with praise reports of jobs and more jobs.

Yesterday Bill and his filmmaker friend, Mike Mireles from Houston were given clearance by a FEMA official to enter to Boliver Island that had been totally destroyed. They rode the Island Ferry and packed up the rental car with water and food, not knowing what to expect. You see, this was the first time anyone had been back to the island since Hurricane Ike. Only those with clearance or who evacuated were allowed back. The stench of death pervaded the air on the island. Bodies were found 50 miles away of those who did not leave the island.

As they drove around the island to pick a spot to distribute the food and water, Bill saw a man in a cemetery walking around seemingly dazed. Bill asked the man if he could help him and the man said "Yes!" He went on to tell Bill that his parents were buried there and he could not find their tombstones. As they walked the man yelled out "Here they are." Bill approached the stones that were sitting among debris and filth. It took all of their strength to lift the stones and return them to the area of the graves. This man cried and was so touched that he allowed Bill to pray with him and accepted Jesus right there on the spot! He later told Bill that he could not have lifted those tombstones alone!

They were only allowed on the island for a few hours. Before they left to return to the campsite to feed more people, pass out tracks and preach,

Brother Bill prayed for an atheist who was open only after Bill asked the man why he was mad at a God he did not believe in.

Bill went on to explain the plan of salvation, and how that the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy, but that Jesus came that we might have life. What a powerful time they had as Bill called to tell me of the openness and vulnerability of these precious people but how that God was using it to make an entrance into their lives for all eternity.

There were mothers that had no food for their babies or no water at all. As they left Bill had turned back to see a woman scarfing down the food and water as if she had not eaten in days. Back in Galveston, the people are sleeping on the streets at night, next to their missing homes. Only concrete slabs remain where there once were homes but we know that through the efforts of these volunteers from around the U.S. lives will forever be changed.

We want to thank our Lord Jesus first of all for his grace, mercy and strength that he has given to Bill the 24 days he has been gone before he returns home this Saturday. It has only been a few months since his near fatal motorcycle accident. The doctors are still amazed at his recovery but we know who to give all the credit to!

We also want to take this time out to thank all of you who have prayed and given towards this worthy cause. Your gifts mean so much and we know that right now in the middle of uncertain times, your continued support will bring the blessings of heaven into your own personal lives. Eph 6:8 says that what we make happen for others, God makes happen for us. It is true.

In closing, none of this would have been possible without the love, call and commission of Jan Crouch and "Smile of a Child" Ministries. This woman has a heart of gold and her compassion is genuine and pure. Thank you precious Jan Crouch.
