I have only been attending Church alive for a few months but I have to say what a refreshing difference! The people are so loving and accepting I feel right at home. I have been so built up by the teaching and atmosphere of worship and community. This has to be one of the greatest churches in this part of the country.

Healing

Pastor Tim,

Thank you for praying for me. I visited Church Alive in March and came up for prayer. I had just been diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. I was really scared but you were so kind and spoke such encouragement to me that I began to believe God could heal me. Through prayer and treatment it is in complete remission.

Thank you for your prayers,

I have been a faithful listener to your radio program for about 2 years. During that time I have learned so much about God. I re-dedicated my life to follow Jesus and my faith has been established in the word of God. I finally came to visit your church and was overwhelmed at the love and warmth of you and Pastor Mimi and the people. I will be back.

Financial Miracle

Pastor Tim,

I am a member, tither and giver at Church Alive. For the past few months things have been real tough where I work. With the economic downturn I was really concerned about my job. Since January they have let 5 co-workers go and it appeared that I was next. I continued to tithe and sow financial seeds in the radio and other ministries at our church. Last week the owner came to me and said, we just signed a new contract that secures my job for the next 2 years. He told me that if was just me and him would would be the last ones to go! Three years ago he didn't even like me but now he's talking to be about becoming a partner. Praise God!

I received a financial miracle!

Dear Pastor Tim,

I live in the Akron area but my job requires that I travel throughout the Cleveland-Akron-Canton area every day. I found your program and began listening in December of 2008. Several months ago I felt led to send you a offering to support the ministry. It wasn't much but I sowed a miracle seed because my job was in jeopardy and I had just been notified that I was about to be laid off in three weeks.

Well, God did a miracle. I was the only one in my division that didn't receive a layoff. In fact, I just signed another contract with the company that extends through September, 2011. I know this is a miracle. I am sending $100.00 as a thank you offering to God for the blessing I received.

Please keep bringing the word of faith to the world.

I don't need my oxygen anymore...

Dearest Pastor Tim

The highest praise goes to our wonderful Lord. I am a faithful listener to your radio program. I attend a church that doesn't believe in the Pentecostal experience. The pastor is a man of God but doesn't know the power of the Holy Spirit. He says almost all healings are fake and speaking in tongues is from the devil. Well, I know he's wrong because I was filled with the Holy Spirit when I was a girl and have been healed several times. For the past few years I have been real sick with a lung disease. For the last 2 years I've been on oxygen almost 24 hours a day. Everyday as I listen to your preaching on 1220 AM, I take it off so I can say amen and shout. Boy, you sure can preach!

Last week you were preaching on forgiveness and I got so excited that I jumped up out of my chair and shouted in the spirit across the room. I haven't need my oxygen since. My pastor assured me I will need it again since he thinks it is only temporary. I believe I am healed and I am trusting Jesus that I will never need it again.

Please keep me in your prayers. I will send you a follow up report in a few months. Also pray my husband will let me come to hear you live. He needs the Holy Ghost and healing for his sugar.

Daughter Saved...

Pastor Tim

I want to praise the Lord for saving my daughter. She was running from God, involved in deep sin and I called for prayer after hearing you on the radio. When you prayed with me you told me that within 48 hours I would hear from her. I must admit I doubted it because we hadn't spoken for almost 4 years and my husband and I didn't even know where she was.

The next day she called from Portland, Oregon and told me she wanted to come home. I sent her a bus ticket and she arrived on July 4th.

Please keep praying for us. She asked God into her heart but needs real heap with a drug problem. I know God sent her home to restore her life. I plan to bring her to church to hear you as soon as I can get there.

Cyst Healed...

Pastors Tim & Mimi,

I am writing to let you know and to give God the glory for the healing I received at Church Alive on June 14th. I had developed a large and very painful cyst on one of my ovaries. The pain was terrible and I was taking several different types of medicine to even function. I wasnt' sure God would heal me because I'd never heard faith and healing taught like you teach it before. This is all very new to me. You told me I had nothing to lose so I decided to take the chance. You and Pastor Mimi prayed for me and the pain left immediately. I was scheduled for surgery on July 6th but during my last check up on July 2nd the doctor told us that the cyst had shrunk and was almost completely gone. He is not going to remove it for the time being.

I have no pain and an trusting God to completely remove it all together.

Thank you again for your prayers and faith.

Arthritis Healed...

Dear Pastors Tim & Mimi

I have attended Church Alive on and off for about 3 three years. For the past two years or so I have suffered so much from arthritis that I haven't been able to attend very often. Praise to Jesus! You called to check on me and prayed over the phone for me. Within a few minutes the inflammation was gone I could move and walk without pain. I will be at church Sunday.

I love you Pastor

I love the radio program...

Good Afternoon:

You have a dynamic Pastor. I was riding in my car on last friday evening and was listening to 1220am WFAX in Falls Church, Virginia which covers the Washington D.C. Metro Area. The anointing of God on your pastor and the word he preached that evening caused me to pull my vehicle over off the highway and begin speaking in tongues as God used that man. What a jewel you all have. If I get the chance to visit Cleveland I know where I will be on sunday morning.

Is there anyway I can get a copy of that broadcast sent to me at the info below? Let me know what you require. How can I become a ministry partner? Please tell the church about this email during one of your services.

Saved,

Cancer in remission...

Pastor Tim,

Thank God for your teaching and ministry. Slightly over four years ago I was given a diagnosis of small cell lung carcinoma, a very serious and difficult to treat type of lung cancer. The doctors tried several treatments but none seemed to work. The cancer was spreading and I could feel myself dying. Finally, in May, the doctors told my family I was in stage three and moving into stage four and there was nothing more they could do.

A friend of mine in Lorain, Ohio who listens to your broadcast sent me some of your tapes on healing and I started listening to them. At first I thought you were crazy because I had never heard that before. But, when you said, "Healing is part of God's nature, and what He was He is and what He is He always will be because He cannot change," it hit me. He is still Jehovah-Rapha.

I began to claim my healing and I just want you to know it is almost Christmas and I am still alive. My doctors told my husband that it appears that my cancer is responding now and is in remission. Thank you, Jesus!

Also, I was able to give up my cigarettes too after smoking for about 35 years!

I will pray for you and hope to met you someday. God bless you and your beautiful family.

Thankful for another day,

Lumps in breast gone...

Dear Pastor Tim,

I want to thank God for the healing I received through your ministry. For several months I have suffered with very painful lumps in my breast. I was also experiencing a strange discharge and swelling. I was too afraid to go to the doctor because my family history is filled with breast cancer and I was scared I too had this terrible disease.

My mother, sister and aunt all have suffered from cancer with my mother and aunt having mastectomies and my aunt died from it.

As I was listening to your radio program I prayed with you and felt a wam feeling go through my body. The next morning the lumps were gone and there was no pain for the first time in at least 6 or 7 months.

I went to the doctor and had a mammogram. The reports have come back negative! Praise the Lord! Some will say I never had cancer and maybe not, but whatever I had I am now healed. Thank you again for your ministry. Keep preaching the word.

Emotional Healing...

Pastor Tim,

When I came to Church Alive I was suffering from rejection and abuse because of the former ministry I had sat under. I was always condemned and afraid I could never please God or live up to His expectations for my life. I was always under guilt and shame because of my past mistakes. I had repented but was still ashamed.

Your teaching on redemption through the blood of Jesus has help me so much you will never know. Thank you so much!!! I know I am forgiven and my past sins are never going to be held against me. I can finally enjoy being alive!

Today, I am bold and confident in my relationship with God and learning every day how to be a New Covenant believer. God bless you for the word you teach us. We really love you and Pastor Mimi.

Financial Miracle

I want to give God the credit for using you to pray for me and give me direction. Because of several financial setbacks, includng extended layoff my house was in foreclosure and about to be sold at auction. I was in depression and my wife and family was in despair. You prayed for us and recommended me to someone to help. By God's grace and through your help, We were able to save our home for our family. I just got a new job and I am getting back on my feet. I am so glad you are my pastor and thank God for you and Pastor Mimi.

Healing

Dear Pastor,

I want to give God the praise for the healing I received during your January Miracle Service. I had been suffering in my back and legs for about 32 years and had lost some of the muscle control in my right leg but after prayer not only do I not have any pain but I can move and bend with more ease and flexability. For the first time in 30 years I can clean and walk without pain. Thank you for your prayers.

The Word Came To Pass...

Pastor Tim,

Last July when you were preaching in Riverside, California at the Convention Center, you prayed over me and my husband and gave us a word from the Lord that within 12 months everything we had lost would be restored.

I laughed inside because I didn't see how it could happen. We had lost our home, both of us were laid off and our marriage was falling apart. I had given up hope of us making it as a family. I only stayed in the marriage because of our children.

Immediately, after the word, things began to change. My husband and I both found jobs. He was hired the next Monday after being unemployed for 5 months and looking every day. I got a job that same Friday. We are both making more than we were before and have great benefits. In January we bought a new home (another miracle story) and God has restored our marriage. We are helping a pastor here in the valley and have never been happier. We were so blessed to see you again this year even though we weren't able to get to you to share our story. What a great message you preached about "Seizing the Moment & Maximizing the Opportunity." That's what happend to us. God saw our potential and gave us a second chance and used you to do it. You really are a man of God. God bless you and we hope to see you back out here here again soon.

Someone prayed...

Pastors Tim and Mimi,

You must be doing a fine job of teaching your people the Bible because on June 21st my family was eating lunch at Olive Garden when a couple from your church came in celebrating Father's Day and sat at the table next to us. We are from Ocala, FL and were here visiting my husband's mother who lives in the area. After they prayed over their food we started talking and they told us about your awesome church. I told them we were in a real financial mess and asked for their prayers. They told us a lot about God's promise to supply our needs and even gave us Bible passsages to read when we got home. They prayed for us right then and when they left they even paid our bill without us knowing. We had no idea until we were ready to leave.

I don't remember their names but they were sent by God to us with a right-now word. Since then thngs have started getting better and we have promised the Lord to become tithers and better stewards of our money. Every day we claim Phil 4:19.

Whatever you are doing, keep it up because its working. We will see you at Christmas when we come back to Cleveland

Financial Miracle...

Dear Pastor,

I want to give God praise for my financial mircale. I sowed a seed in church about 2 months ago for God to protect my job. They were laying people off in my department and I was next in line. Not only did they not lay me off but now I am working overtime and have plenty of work throughout the rest of the year. I will continue to sow because I know Church Alive is good ground and I will continue to receive.

Keep preaching the truth!

Healing through forgiving...

Hallelujah!

I wanted to share my miracle with you. A few weeks ago you were teaching on forgiveness holding back the release of the promises of God. I had held bitterness against many people for years and years. I had been so hurt I couldn't seem to trust anyone anymore. I asked God to help me forgive. When I did, all the pain left my back, hips and legs and I was able to walk and bend without any pain whatsoever.

God has restored my body, is restoring relationships with my estranged family members and my relationship with God is better than its been in a long, long time. Thank God for your obedience to preach the truth.

The perfect church for people who aren't...

Pastor Tim

I need to apologize for some real cruel things I said about you. You know who I am and we have talked. I was afriad to come back even though I knew I needed the ministry, but you welcomed me. I am so ashamed of what I have said about you and Pastor Mimi. When I spoke with you you were so kind and forgiving and even invited me back to Church Alive and said it would be "like I'd never left." WOW! I was hurt because I didn't get my way and said some real mean things that were not evn true or even close to being true, but you treated me like I hadn't done anything wrong.

You taught me what it is to really love with the God kind of love. I will always be grateful and will never allow my hurt feelings to cause me to lie or spread gossip on another pastor, especially you and Pastor Mimi. You guys are wonderful and filled with God's love and forgiveness! I love you so much and can't wait to come back to Church Alive.

Restoration of family and life...

Greetings my dear friend in Christ,

All I can say is WOW and thank you Jesus! I can’t tell you how much your teaching has helped me this past year. 2008 was the worst year of my life. In January the company that I worked for since graduating from High School merged with another company and I was given a permanent layoff. I was lost. I had been there for 34 years and it was all I knew how to do. I don’t have training in any other area and without an education I felt hopeless in this struggling economy. If that wasn’t bad enough by March my wife couldn’t take it anymore and left me for another man. Then in the spring I lost my home in Broadview Heights to foreclosure. I couldn’t believe this was happening to me. Everything I loved was gone and I wanted to die.

I started listening to you on WHKW in the early part of March. Everyday you would preach the gospel in such a positive way I had enough hope to make it through the rest of the day. You are the most positive, encouraging pastor I’ve ever heard. Even when I wanted to be depressed and feel sorry for myself, after listening to you I couldn’t. You made me believe I could recover what I had lost and that I could make it and thanks to God and you I did.

One day you said, "the choice is up to you, not God or the devil...you! The devil is defeated, God has given you the promise, now it is up to you to decide if you are going to believe His word and live an overcoming life!" So, I decided I would survive and be an overcomer!

In October I got a new job and they are even paying for me to further my education. So at age 53 I’m going back to school at Cuyahoga Community College. My wife and I have been talking for a few months and on Christmas Eve, she came home. We are back together rebuilding our marriage and on January 6^th we signed papers to buy a house in Parma Heights. Even though my credit is ruined they sold it to me on a land contract.

We have a long way back but we are going to make because we have chosen to. I never would have made it through the year without your encouragement. I’ve never met you but you are my friend. Thank you and God bless you and your church. They are really blessed to have a pastor like you. I will see you at one of your supernatural Sunday night services.

Taking it all back,

Dear Pastor Walker,

My husband and I are Associate Pastors at a non-denominational church in the Kent area. Even though we are not charismatic, we love your teaching. You are one of the few teachers who actually relates to the average person and makes the Bible understandable. I never miss your program and thank God for your insight in the Word. God bless you,

Blessed with a new job...

Hay Pastor,

I want to thank you for doing the Debt-reduction service. I had been without work for about 3 months and couldn't find anything. It was getting real hard and my girlfriend and I were getting food stamps to make it. You told us to try God and we did. I gave $31.00 which was all I had and ask God for a job. That afternoon I found a twenty dollar bill on the sidewalk. The very next day I received a call from a company who hired me. I hadn't even put in a application there. One of the guys I use to work with told them about me and they called.

Now I am making $11.50 an hour and have good benefits for my baby. My girlfriend and I aren't Christians or members yet but we love to listen to you teach. You are real funny and I can relate with your stories. I am beginning to understand the Bible for the first time.

Have a Merry Christmas,

Son saved through radio...

Pastor Tim,

I just want to thank you for your radio program on 1220. My son is a marine stationed in Iraq and has been home recently on leave for the funeral of his grandfather. He has run from God for several years and has done drugs off and on for so long I cant remember.

I think it goes back as far as the divorce between his father and me when he was 12 but I'm not sure. He stopped briefly when he went into the military but lately it has gotten much worse and he has begun drinking heavily. I was afraid to even allow him to stay in my home. I only let him stay because I wanted him to be able to say goodbye to his grandfather who helped raise him.

While he was home I was listening to your program because you are my favorite preacher I have ever heard and he started asking questions about God and miracles and if he could be free from his adictions. I told him yes and asked him to call you but he wouldnt. Well, two weeks ago we were listening together and when you got done he asked me to pray with him to give his life to Christ.

He was saved and has not touched drugs or alcohol since. He is back in Iraq and I pray for him everyday. He emails me and tells me he is getting to know God more everyday and is finding real peace for the first time in his life.

Thank you for being such a humble servant of God and if you are ever in New Philadelphia please let me know I would love to hear you in person. Until then please keep preaching the word because it really is alive and filled with transforming power.

When I get some money I will send you an offering to help you reach others.
