Last Thursday and Friday, Pastor Buxton, his wife, Jay and Holly Zeilstra and Rosalinda Fullmer motored to Tucson for Arizona on Fire, an annual meeting of the Arizona district. The tremendous meeting was held in the beautiful sanctuary of Faith Tabernacle pastored by Brother Paul Connor. More than 1000 persons attended the services which were held on both Thursday and Friday evenings, while on Friday morning was conducted a special session for ministers and their wives. It was a powerful, dynamic meeting; one that will never be forgotten.
Rev. Lee Stoneking was the preacher,
and as usual he did an exceptional job of ministering to the needs of those who were there. On Friday night, Brother Stoneking gave the testimony of his literally being “raised from the dead,” after having suffered a massive heart attack, and being “dead” for 45 minutes. His full, beautiful testimony is found on his website, which I have linked here.
Then it was over. Pastor Buxton and the Zeilstras breakfasted in their hotel before the return trip to Lake Havasu. What a privilege to have attended this dynamic meeting.

Brother Michael uses these times of individual and/or small group teaching to offer personal guidance and influence, and to re-enforce the fact that God and His Word is the ultimate solution to all our problems. During every lesson he emphasizes that it is only God’s power that sets us all free.
The young people of our world are in such dire need of God. Many of them have reported to us that they began taking drugs as early as when they were 12 years old. “My mother introduced me to heroin,” one young lady told us. “My mom and her boyfriend gave it to me.” Heartbreaking. Really heartbreaking.
