One of our BIBLICAL SEED HARVEST MEMBERS TESTIFIES IN A LIVE CHURCH SERVICE INDIANA – The old Bishop interviewing Mrs. Doris Green in front of a live congregation.

“My name is Doris Green, and I am pleased to meet you…I have always wanted to join hands in prayer with your [ministry].

I wrote to you. I got your mail; I got your letter through the mail, and I read the letter. I just laid it aside, and I kept going back and picking it up and laying it down.

At the same time, I was facing a crisis. My husband had walked off and left me [all alone] with three children, three little girls, small girls [to raise].

After I got your letter, then I met another man, and he wanted to marry me.

I was skeptical of marrying again. I wrote to you and asked you to pray with me and help me make the right decision.

When I got your answer, I was lying in bed, and I read the letter. You told me to put it under my pillow, and I did. That night, about 2:00 A.M., the Lord woke me and told me, “Get this marriage Continued on page 7

straightened out right now.” The next day, I called the man, and I said, “Let’s go to the doctor and get a blood test.” He said, “What’s wrong with you?” I said, “You asked me to marry you, didn’t you?”

[Laughter from the congregation] So, I want you to know that the Lord blessed me with that husband. He is in the congregation now. [He stands up in the congregation, and the Church gives him a standing ovation.]

Now, dear ones, prayers work as we unite in prayer for you and take time for God a few moments to put your needs on paper and mail to us, here at Saint Matthew’s old Church. It works! We are ready and waiting on you and your letter, telling us to get started with you in our next prayer cycle.

What a great decision it was, as I have been so blessed: A resurgence in our business, unexpected financial gifts, and the most important, a serious automobile accident that should have, by human perspective, taken the life of my nineteen-year-old son; he now should have a full recovery.

control and went down the road where the mailboxes were. My three children were standing at the mailbox. The truck turned over on all three. Two of them crawled from under the cab of the truck, and one was pinned for about an hour; and they were not seriously hurt, bruised, or lacerated. Our prayers took care of them. Praise the Lord! Thank you Jesus! Just to look at that cattle truck, it’s terrible. It’s a miracle. Keep praying for me…❞ Mrs. G.L. & Family

112 Saint Matthew’s Churches sells nothing. It is supported by your free will offerings. Further, neither this ministry’s prayers, nor the miracles of God can be bought. This ministry’s prayers are free of charge and miracles are contingent upon the will of God. Your offerings are a form of worshipping God according to scriptures such as Deuteronomy 12:6,11; Malachi 3:10; II Corinthians 9:7. We want you to know that it is one-hundred percent alright if you do not have any money to donate to this ministry. Please do not feel badly; write to us as long and as many times as you need prayer.

We will be here to pray with you even if you never send a dime.

All printed statements in this book cover a time span of many years: they are reproduced as reported with editing being limited to grammatical construction, updating, clarification and space. This Ministry assumes no legal responsibility for the veracity or permanency of reported healings, miracles, or other happenings. All supernatural events and blessings are contingent upon spiritual condition relative to the individual and any other deviation from the intended divine plan could result in mental, physical, and/or spiritual set back (St. John 5:14). The pictures in this book are not Saint Matthew’s members; they are shown to place emphasis on the importance of the message. This Ministry is more than 71 years old. The testimonies in this book are of what God has done in answer to prayer. This home missionary ministry was established in 1951 and is for all people of all races. Everyone is welcome.

“According to your faith so be it unto you” (St. Matthew 9:20). Saint Matthew’s Churches prayer team is a small group of praying parents and grandparents whose lives are dedicated to praying for people and mailing out gospel books, sermon prayer letters and other Christian literature. Most of all we pray for people to be saved and be ready to meet Jesus when they die or when Jesus comes. We believe this is the most important thing in life, more important than success or material blessings. But, we also believe that the blessings of God are not limited to salvation of the soul. We believe you can have everything God promises you in the Bible. We believe God wants to bless you, his child, spiritually, physically, and financially (III John 2).

We believe God wants his children to prosper and have the nicer things in life (Philippians 4:19). We pray for God to bless folks with their own businesses, more money, finer homes and automobiles. We believe God’s people can have the best of everything. It is God answering prayer, not us, that is making these wonderful things happen for people. Give God the praise.

We write our partners letters each month, all of the same faith-building nature. These items of faith, which we send out along with our letters, have no power but are merely spiritual faith handles like Jesus and His disciples used during their time to help people focus their faith on God. If for any reason you do not wish to receive this church’s mail, please notify us and we will remove your name and address from our list.
