Testimonies
From Laverne Williams/Hampton, SC
In regards to what God has done with my eyesight.
On Sunday night service when God touched my eyes, immediately I could see better and without the blurry vision when reading. I went home and for the next week or so I could read my bible in low light without any blurriness.
I kept my eye doctors appointment the following week and they ran a battery of tests. When they had me read the eye chart, they asked why are you here you have 20/20 vision. They saw no evidence of any astigmatism in my left eye which I have had for many years. I explained that I was having blurry vision when reading up close. They said that I may need to have some reading glasses to help when my eye muscles were tired. They also said that as a person reaches age 40 or so the eyes stop providing small focus adjustments and the reading glasses should help with that too.
Thank you so much for what God did through you at that service.
From Rev. Jeremiah Kimengich
Hi and Praise to the Living and Loving God. This is just to thank you for the work you are doing in the Kingdom of God. Thanks for what you have invested to
Kenya through EBC and RFI Kenya. Personally I appreciate you for investing your life to us. Be encouraged, move on with the work, know that there are people who value what you are doing and we are behind you. I am looking forward to seeing and receiving from the Heavenly father through you.
My ministry is fairing on well, we are growing and expanding. I planted a new church at the interior of Iten which is growing and doing well. I left one of my spiritual son as the resident pastor whom I have also recommended to EBC and he is going on with his studies. Further more I left my beloved Wife to Pastor the Home Church at Iten coz God Has given me a burden to begin another Church at some other place. Please continue to pray for us as we continue to keep the connection and as we keep on praying for you.
Thanks and God richly bless you.

From Apostle Bonnie Rowan, Kingwood, WV
We have had an increase in our finances. As a matter of fact, I claimed that when we got our last cabin finished we would be debt free and would not owe anything on the cabins,as you know the cost of each cabin was about 10 thousand. Well I received the last bill from Lowe's and I still owed one thousand eleven dollars and it was the last day, then I opened the next letter and there was a donation of one thousand dollars, then someone else gave me eleven dollars. Then I received enough money to pay off the new drum set that we had just bought which was 4 thousand dollars. I bought them with the understanding that if we paid them off within six months that there would be no finance charges. I thought It would be at least three months before I could pay them off 'BUT! when I received the first bill on them the money was there to pay them off. That was on the same day that I received the other money. It all happened in one day."IS THAT COOL?" HE WILL COME AT THE MIDNIGHT HOUR.
When Dr.John spoke at our church he released financial increase in the house. I also believe he released the power to get wealth. PRAISE GOD!!
BLESSINGS,
Apostle Bonnie Rowan
Recycled Believers Book
Not too long ago God spoke to me about a new season of growth. He showed me in a vision a table and at the head of this table was my pastor. Obviously this table represented my church. I could see all the members of the church seated and ready to..."eat". So naturally I thought that this new season of growth would take place in that church, but when I went to find the seats reserved for me and my house I could not find them. Then God showed me a completely different table where the seats for my house were set and awaiting our arrival. After sharing this with a co-worker he handed me a book by Dr. John Pollis titled "Recycled Believers" I didn't consider myself to be a recycled believer so I didn't read the book right away. I knew God wanted us to move in order for us to grow in a new direction, but I did not understand why we could not enter into our new season of growth in the church we were at. You see we were conflicted because we loved out pastor and first lady and knew they loved us. They had become a part of our family and we felt we would hurt them if we just left. So we delayed our move until one day God allowed an incident to occur in our church and although my wife and I were hurt by this I knew that God was making it clear that it was time for us to move. After the incident at our church my wife had a lot of questions and needed answers. Answers I had yet to find until I came across that book by Dr. Pollis. Through his book we were able to find the answers to all our questions and understand that this season of growth wasn't just for me or just for my wife but for our whole house. Thank you Dr. Polis , if it wasn't for your obedience to the will of God we may still be in a place of confusion right now. I give God all the glory, honor, and praise for you.

Hi Dr. Polis, Thanks for all that you are doing to impact Pastors and churches all over Kenya. No man can pay back for such a great investment I believe our Father in Heaven is so happy with the work. Two of my Pastors have trained in your Bible School and they are doing a good job. I would be delighted to connect with you next time you are in ELdoret. You are also welcome to Eldoret Happy Church at the time of your convinience. Blessings to you and family.

Apostle, I hope u will remember me;My name is Innocent Msibi from Spiritual Healing Ministries in Swaziland. We meet at the leadership conference in Benon (South Africa).
I was so blessed by your ministry together with Dr Rebecca. Words could not explain in-dept the content of your teachings and thier impact in my life. I'm hungry for more of you servants of God.
I pray that u still remember our discussion about Swaziland and that we still look forward to receiving the material for the teachings of the Bible school.
I might say once again that the need is huge. I have consulted some Pastors since our discussion to have you open a school for us; it seems like open door and a dream to be birth to our country.
I just got your email address today through the internat, I was so eager to great you. Send my appreciation and greatings to Dr Rebecca. I love you!

If you only knew the lives you are impacting. I recently traveled with Soren on a two day trip. We drove to Kitale and flew at 12 noon to Lodwar. Upon arriving in Lodwar I saw the Madegwa’s who were leaving after a wee long crusade at a Deliverance church. The pastor of the Deliverance church, Pastor Robert is an EBC graduate. We went to the church Soren is building there and the pastor and assistant pastor both know you from your past work in Full Gospel Churches of Kenya. The senior pastor said he was at you honorary Doctorate ceremony and the assistant pastor has attended many of your conferences. They both said you have had a hand in molding them for ministry. By 4pm we were on the road with Soren’s lorry to drive it back to Eldoret. We drove to Loki char and staying overnight in a small room. There is no electricity in Loki char in the Turkana arid area. At 5 am we traveled on to Kinuik a small town at the border of Turkana and Pokot districts. From there we stopped in Chepareria so he could see the progress of a church project there and behold the pastor Charles is a 2011 graduate. From there we had one more stop just before Kitale the project there was another graduate of EBC from one of the first graduating classes. It seemed everywhere we stopped you and EBC are known. I will do a small detailed report with full names and info and pics. The overnight trip was an adventure as we traveled the first 200 kilometers through the Turkana district and Pokot and unpaved desert roads.
Tim Bolyard: and proud to be serving you!

Dear John,
I received your Revival Fellowship International newsletter this morning. I am a member of ICA and a few years ago was in contact with you re the possibility of having you come to Australia at the advice of John Kelly, it did not work with your plans at the time. I lead an Apostolic network ApostleNet International based in Australia and reaching particularly into the South west Pacific nations and in the India sub continent nations.
I am in India at the moment finishing 3 weeks of Apostolic conferences beginning today our round table meeting with our top 50 leaders who carry the message forward for this ministry here in India between my being present.
As you know we receive much apostolic and ministry information thru the mail but your message today resonated so powerfully in my heart and reinforced what we have been working through hear and seeing the fruit increasing of a strong obedience/ maturity /authority message. I have been coming to this nation for 32 years the last ten with a strong apostolic word and the impact is now touching thousands of leaders and churches.
Thanks for your encouraging word and although I was not present this year at ICA meeting Dallas as I was engaged here I am planning to be there 2012 I am on the Australian council with John Macnamara and will meet Kelly when he addresses our meeting in Canberra Australia early next year.
I appreciate your heart and message and look forward to connecting some time. Praying Gods richest blessing on all you are doing.
Your brother in Kingdom Mission

Dear John,
Merry Christmas!!!I trust this finds you prospering and in health just as your soul has been prospering. It is for me the same, always better than yesterday. Praise God.
I have a few close and personal friends and imagine you are one of them—men and women who have a special place in my life. By associating with you my life has multiplied in value and ministry has become a joy. I thank God for giving you to me—you are a special gift of God to us. Thank you for accepting your place as a gift of God to me.
The Christmas story is in our hearts and mouths this month. This week in our family we are reflecting on the blessing of Christmas. Luke 1: 5-38 is our text. Even though Elizabeth and Zachariah had waited for “too long” to get a baby God did not only answer their prayer but more than they had prayed. Announced by an angel, a special prophet like none other…what a reward for patience and sustained prayer. Our prayers too have reached the throne of God and we will are seeing supernatural breakthroughs, especially this month.
Mary has a situation that cannot happen without direct encounter with the Holy Ghost; something that had never happened to anyone before. So she wondered, “How can these things be?”This Christmas you may be asking like Mary: “How can these things be?”Naturally speaking you don’t see how these things can be; even God’s promise in your situation may not even look realistic. But you know, what God can do, no man can do “for with God, nothing shall be impossible.” (Luke. 1:37).
Please join us in thanking God for what He has done with and through in 2011:-
T.V. and Radio
100 broadcasts have gone on air in Kenya, East and Central Africa reaching 21 million people. This is our air-force and is doing incredibly well.
Family life Seminars
Throughout our country we have continued to hold workshops, diners and seminars for fortifying the family that is under intense attack today. The last one in Isiolo has an attendance of 500 men and women!
Reaching out through the printed word
Keys to a Successful Marriage, Resolving Conflicts in Marriage and Discovering the Will of God are very well received in Kenya. We praise God for provisions to get these books in the hands of His people. Two new books will be off the press in two months: Build Effective Family Altars and The Pursuit of a Dream.
Training on leadership
It is always wiser to put 100 people to work than doing the work of a 100 men. This year we have held so many leadership development events with only one being done at the University. We realized most church leaders have no time for universities and seminaries so we are training where they are. This has proved faster and more productive. We thank the Lord for leading in this direction
Orphanage/Academy
The children in our children’s home have increased from 22 to 29 this year. We named our existing house Rehoboth and our new house is almost completed. We named it Ebenezer—we are now doing finishing and will soon be furnishing it for a new intake of more orphans.
Academy
For five years we struggled to keep our academy. We needed to keep it open because our orphans can go there and not be stigmatized for losing their parents through aids. But it was not making economic sense—it was just draining us dry. Faced with possibility of closure we prayed and sought God for help. He gave it. Our enrollment rose from120 early last year to 500 by last month when we closed the year. Praise God.
Family blessings
The lord has provided all the money and grace necessary for Rose and I to take our kids to a reputable university—the same that I graduated from 26 years ago. Both Timothy and Grace are home now for three weeks charismas break after successfully completing the two semesters of this year. Praise God.
There are many other things to thank God for. I am sure you too have things to thank God for. Let us together thank Him for He has done great things among us. Praise God.
Finally I want you to know I appreciate you and cherish your friendship and remember “Nothing shall be impossible with God” (Luke 1:37).
Your Friend,
Dr. Sammy Gitaari
Tim Bolyard
Tim-
It has been some time since I have spoken with you. However, the lord has put you very heavily on my heart lately. I hope things are well with you.
I would like to thank you for all of the work and effort that you and your family put into the youth ministry when I was young. I had no idea at the time that He would play such a huge role in my life. The last few years of my life have been the best, and at the same time, the worst I have ever experienced. I know that may sound confusing but in efforts to keep this message at a tolerable length just let me say that through it all I have built what has become a very strong personal relationship with Jesus. He has blessed me in so many ways and has shown me things that I didnt even knew that i didnt know. I have devoted my life to serving Him and he has provided for me and my family just as promised over and over again. I could go on and on but I won't. I just wanted to let you know that I apprieciate all you and your family has done and I believe that the basic path that your ministry laid when I was a youth has led me to the relationship that I have with Him today. Thank you again, keep in touch, and God Bless you and your family. -

“There’s a rush on the Kingdom of Heaven, you can assume it only through force, prayer and faith that forms all miracles through power of Spirit, penetrating all…” is a brief description of the past few days that apostle John Polis served us.
What to say? He has made the Bible messages approachable, has served these messages to us in their proper order, and has won the sympathies of many through his humor… He has spoken of God’s glory, of His Kingdom, of Christian denominations through history, and, as the icing on the cake, of Elijah’s anointment and his character.
Those attending could immediately, and in a practical manner, apply all that they have heard: we lifted our arms in the shapes of God’s vessels, praying to Him to fill us up with revelation and his holy oil, we “swam” with our arms in anointment, rejoiced loudly…It has been our great pleasure to host this servant of God, his son and his friend, also an apostle who served in singing…
