Renee Gray-Wilburn Catherine McMorrow Baker Donna Leischner VOLUME VII NUMBER 1 Dear Friends, The Lord is doing extraordinary things through Andrew Wommack Ministries and Charis Bible College. I could spend hours sharing with you and not even scratch the surface. This magazine will try to fill you in on some of the highlights. These testimonies and pictures will give you a sense of the many wonderful things the Lord has done. But all that is happening today are really the results of seeking the Lord forty-five years ago to know His will for my life. I was in my first year of college, just going through the motions, but in my heart, I was crying out to the Lord to show me His purpose for my life. And on March 23, 1968, God showed up BIG TIME. The last forty-five years have been a process of walking through God’s good, acceptable, and perfect will for my life. It certainly hasn’t been easy, but it’s been awesome! I wouldn’t trade what the Lord has done for me for any other life. The Lord has been very good to Jamie and me. My main article in this magazine is on how you can find God’s will for your life. It doesn’t come automatically or by fate. If you don’t pursue God’s best, it won’t happen. And there is no way you can pursue God’s will if you don’t know what it is. As Paul told the Ephesians, you should not be ignorant but understand what the will of the Lord is (Eph. 5:17). You can know God’s will for your life. In fact, you must know God’s will for your life in order to fulfill it. I’ve just released a new book entitled How to Find, Follow, and Fulfill God’s Will. This is a combination of three separate but related teachings into one book. I believe this is an absolute necessity for all who want to fulfill their destinies. I guarantee you, this will bless your life. We also have three separate study guides to go along with this new book, as well as the three original CD albums and DVD albums. Lastly, check out the update on our construction at The Sanctuary in Woodland Park, Colorado. Praise the Lord, He has led me to raise up a first-rate Bible college to impact the world, and we are well on our way to accomplishing that. Thanks to everyone who is a part of what the Lord started in my life forty-five years ago. I believe the best is yet to come for us and for you. You are blessed, Andrew and Jamie

How to Find, Follow, and Fulfill God’s Will by Andrew Wommack

Are you fulfilling your call? Do you even know what God has ordained for your life? If not, you’re certainly not alone. I once ministered at a Gospel Truth Seminar in Orlando, Florida, on the subject of finding God’s will. Two-thirds of the audience rose when I asked for those to stand who didn’t know if they were walking in God’s will. How can believers ever expect to build God’s kingdom if they don’t know their part?

The first thing is to realize that the Lord has a to pass in your life. It won’t. God’s will doesn’t always specific and unique plan for you. He’s had this plan in come to pass. Take salvation, for instance. mind before you were even born. Psalm 139:15-16 says, Where and when you were born, My frame was not hidden from you when I was made the parents God gave you, your in the secret place. When I was woven together in the personality, and everything else depths of the earth, [16] your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in about you was orchestrated by God your book before one of them came to be. (New for a specific purpose. International Version 1984)

You aren’t a mistake going somewhere to happen. Second Peter 3:9 tells us, You haven’t been placed on this earth by chance. Where and when you were born, the parents God gave you, The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some your personality, and everything else about you was men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, orchestrated by God for a specific purpose.

Nobody could tell me what to do. I decided to start reading the Bible. I figured God’s Word could give me the knowledge I needed, so I stayed up until two or three o’clock every night, reading. Even though I ended up reading through the Bible two or three times during my senior year, I still didn’t have any specific direction from the Lord. But then, all of a sudden, one passage of Scripture—Romans 12:1b-2— came alive to me:

Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. [2] And It’s clear from this scripture that God wants be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed everyone to come to repentance and be saved, yet we by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what know that not everyone does. God also wants everyone is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. healed (3 John 2), yet people still live with sickness in their bodies. Likewise, God wants everyone to find and For the next four months, I meditated on those walk in the purpose He has ordained for them, yet not scriptures. It was shortly after that when I had my everyone will. But that’s not God’s fault. life-changing encounter with God. As a result of that Once you realize you are the one responsible for encounter, I began to see that God had called me to be discovering God’s will, the next step is to start seeking a full-time minister.

But that He showed up in such a miraculous way in my you’re going to have to do some seeking to find it. life at that time. It was because I had been diligently seeking Him, wanting to know the path He had for me. One mistake people often make in seeking God’s Yo u are the one responsible for purpose is that they assume that whatever they’re good at in the natural must be what God wants them to do. discovering God’s will. So, if they’re naturally good at public speaking, they figure that God must have called them to a speaking ministry of some sort. I don’t believe this is always Jeremiah 29:12-13 tell us how we need to seek God: true. It certainly wasn’t true in my case. I was scared stiff of speaking in front of people. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.

Some people get a revelation of God’s general will for their lives but then stop seeking Him for direction on how to carry it out. Knowing God’s will is critical, but after that, you must learn how to follow His will and cooperate with Him to bring it to pass. People may stumble across God’s will but then decide they can carry it out in their own strength. They think they have God’s plan all figured out, and they don’t take time to discover how He wants to accomplish His will through them. Another problem is that people often won’t take time to prepare for God’s will to be fulfilled. They are moved by the need that’s around them, and they feel pressured into hurrying to bring God’s plan to pass. You can’t speed up the things of God, but you can certainly delay them.

The New Normal: From Autism to Awesome It was a perfect Monday morning when Christopher McDermott held his newborn son, Timothy, for the very first time. Although the two had met only moments before, a bond of love was already forming. Christopher wanted only the best for his son, and at that moment, he couldn’t imagine anything that would keep him from it. But any thoughts Christopher had of Timothy being One of the McDermotts’ greatest fears was that a “perfect” baby quickly faded when he discovered that Timothy would grow up alone. They were afraid for his child was completely inconsolable. “He’d scream when he grew older, when they would no longer be and scream as though he was in pain, but the doctors there to protect or care for him.

Timothy began communicating, and then he stopped wanting people having nightmares about drowning, he lost weight, to look at him…he became bothered with lights, and and he stopped growing. He then started having then he stopped eating his food [if it wasn’t the perfect “storms,” where insignificant issues would cause texture and just right].” him to fall to pieces. At the suggestion of Timothy’s therapist, the McDermotts also had James evaluated. He was diagnosed as having developmental delays and behavioral issues, along with obvious impairments that are on the autistic spectrum. At this point, Timothy had already been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, and now James had the possibility of the same diagnosis. Christopher and Deborah came face to face with the reality that, against all odds, they had two children with serious disabilities. Deborah had her own challenges to confront during this time as well. Christopher took a new job, which had him traveling quite often, and because she focused on her kids 24/7, she had no of friends or any support system in place. She had to walk through this dark valley alone. But Deborah soon discovered that it’s during her darkest moments that God’s love and grace shine the brightest. “One day when I was really down, I turned on Christian programming on television,” recalls Deborah. “Mothers were talking about their kids and proudly showing off their pictures…. And it just hit me, what I was really experiencing with my own family. I felt so alone and deserted. I yelled out to God, ‘Why don’t You help us?’ I had been asking Him to help for years and Deborah (pregnant with James) and Timothy I was angry. I believed it was God’s fault because I had been taught that He was sovereign. I said, ‘I love my These storms led him into dangerous behavior, boys so much, and You’re supposed to love them more such as headbutting doors or the floor, or punching than me….’ I told Him, ‘I would die for my boys.’ He himself as a result of distress.

God continued to answer that Andrew would be in Walsall—a two-hour drive the family’s prayers with one miracle after another to away—in two weeks. prove He was fully in control of their situation. Over the next couple of days, Deborah and Christopher diligently researched both AWM and Hannah. They were blessed and amazed by what they learned, and knew in their hearts that this was God’s answer to their cry for help. But they also knew that it would take a miracle just to get to Walsall. Timothy couldn’t last more than fifteen minutes in a car without getting severely nauseous. James had never even been in a car for more than half an hour. Even in that short time, he screamed and cried continuously. Staying in a hotel would present a whole new set of challenges that came with being away from routine and familiar surroundings. But the McDermotts knew they had to get to the meeting. They began watching Andrew every day, bought as many books as possible, and downloaded teachings from www.awmi.net. Their faith grew to believe God for what He said they already had. Deborah’s next step was to call Andrew Wommack Ministries of Europe and alert them to their situation. “The woman I spoke with asked me, ‘What can you believe for?’ I told her, ‘I think we can get there, but I’m not sure I can exercise my faith enough to get into the building.’ She said, ‘If you can’t get them out of the car, we’ll send a prayer team to you.’ Then she prayed in a way that I had never heard before. She was authoritative and thanked God Timothy and Christopher

Spring 2013 13 Healing Journey

During a break at the meeting, Deborah and Christopher waited in line with their sons so Andrew could pray for them. The line was long, and before their turn came, Andrew announced that it was time to return to their seats. Completely deflated, Deborah began weeping. She couldn’t leave without Andrew praying for them. Just then, someone grabbed her arm and thrust her right in front of Andrew. That someone was Paul Flanagan, director of Charis Bible College (CBC) West Midlands. “Deborah quickly told Andrew our situation,” says Christopher, “and without hesitation, he simply rebuked autism and commanded healing into our boys. Then he blessed us as a family and thanked God that we would fulfill God’s plan for our lives. He then said something we will never forget: He told us that we were now the parents of normal, healthy children.” “I remember hearing that as if the whole world went quiet, and it was just these words hanging there,” adds Deborah. “For me, it was Jesus talking to me, and it was a promise. I knew Andrew was right. We left and went to McDonald’s, where the boys ate like I’ve never seen them eat before.” From the first day the McDermotts arrived home, the transformation they witnessed in James and Deborah and James Timothy was remarkable. That night, the entire family experienced their first night of peaceful sleep since the day James was born—five years earlier. “I felt that God led me to Andrew’s teachings so Deborah and Christopher watched in awe of He could teach me what I needed to know. I listened God’s power as James continued to sleep through the only to Andrew for nearly six months, and in that night, month after month and year after year. The time, my questions were answered.

Spring 2013 15 Many Gospel Truth readers probably remember when we shared about the passing of Leland Shores, the former director of Charis Bible College (CBC) Uganda. Because of Leland’s unexpected death, we were forced mto close the college at the end of 2011. We weren’t giving up on the college; we were just waiting for God to bring new directors to reopen it and successfully operate and grow it. Those directors have been found in Hank and Mary Lenz, who “resurrected” CBC Uganda at the end of January with over 150 students. Hank and Mary were former classmates as well as former employers of Leland’s when they owned a Blimpie’s sandwich shop in Colorado Springs.

CBC Colorado graduate Dean Crooks and his wife, Linda, had stepped in as the school’s interim directors and helped conduct CBC Uganda’s first graduation ceremony. But after graduation, classes were put on hold until full-time directors were hired.

the Karamoja region in the northeastern part of the country. There are over one million people living in 5,000 small villages throughout Karamoja. This entire area is completely isolated and very different from the rest of Uganda. Their isolation is due to a history of extreme violence, as people killed each other because of cattle rustling. In fact, instead of individual houses similar to those found in the rest of Uganda, the people in Karamoja live in circular villages of 200 or so people. For defense, each village is surrounded with huge thorn branches woven into hedges. The people in the villages of Karamoja still live as their ancestors did a thousand years ago. The grass huts they call home are simply sticks with thatch coverings.

After seeing the physical and spiritual poverty of the Karamojan people, Andrew knew he had to do something to help them long term. As he shared his heart with Pastor Francis, Andrew learned that after pastoring for twenty-five years, Francis had heard from God that at the beginning of 2013, he was to turn his church over to an associate.

This in itself is a huge deal, as most of the herders, but the fighting has killed all the cattle, so now people in this area have never seen a movie before. Just all that remains are very small and thin goats. It is a showing a movie could draw every person in the entire hopeless situation among the villagers, with their total village to come and watch. focus set on trying to find enough food to survive each day. They truly are only a step away from death at any given time. Spiritual poverty is rampant as well. The Karamojan people have no idea what a Bible is or who Jesus is. Instead, they adhere to the many pagan practices of their ancestors. But here’s the good news: God has been provided an entrance into Uganda—including the remote areas of Karamoja—and His Word is beginning to go forth in powerful ways. Ugandan president, Museveni, recently publicly repented for all his sins as well as those of his nation, and he dedicated Uganda to the Lord. Uganda is in revival, and God has positioned AWM to be a big part of what He’s doing there. Last October, Andrew visited Karamoja with Pastor Francis, who is from southwestern Uganda and among AWM’s first group of disciples. Pastor Francis Ministering to people in Lodoi and Moroto has personally discipled over 300 ministers and, with the help of Andrew Womaack Ministries, teaches the Discipleship Evangelism course on five daily radio stations, reaching thousands.

But because it’s a movie about Jesus, they will now have a frame of reference as to who He is and what He did for them. They will finally begin to understand what crucifixion is and why Jesus died for them. Immediately after the film, Pastor Francis’s team gives an invitation to receive the Lord. Over the weeks that follow, the new converts will then be discipled by those who have already received the Discipleship Evangelism training. In addition to these efforts, CBC Uganda will take their missions trips to the Karamoja region, which will thrust hundreds more laborers into this harvest field. With all these avenues in place, Andrew and Pastor Francis have developed a plan that will allow them to Karamoja natives

By the end of November, the crews were able to accomplish many of the underground structural components of The Barn: pouring footings for the basement, erecting the forms for the basement walls, and continuing the development of the road system necessary to bring in cranes and other equipment. And, by mid-January, the entire basement support structure had been completed. Building the 90,000-square-foot Barn will allow the CBC Colorado student body to grow to over 1,300 students. Meanwhile, the construction of the second building, which includes a 2,500-seat auditorium and administrative offices, will be underway. When finished, these two buildings will be a combined 220,000 square feet! For Andrew, The Sanctuary is a dream come true. Once the Lord showed him how he must multiply himself by raising up disciples in order to effectively take the grace message to the nations, his vision has been for the expansion of CBC. Sending out graduates throughout the world—to start expansion schools or to serve as missionaries or other ministers—is the reason for CBC.

35 Years and Counting: The Future of AWM For the past thirty-five years, since the incorporation of Andrew Wommack Ministries (AWM), the ministry has had quite an amazing history. From its humble official beginning in Lamar, Colorado, in 1978, to the first Gospel Truth radio show in Childress, Texas, to the first Gospel Truth television show in 2000, to the first Gospel Truth Seminar in 2003, to now an incredible new 220,000-square- foot Charis Bible College (CBC) Colorado headquarters, the ministry has seen explosive growth in all areas.

As Andrew looks back on his journey with the to develop a college using the current CBC model of Lord—celebrating forty-five years of knowing Him classroom training combined with practical experience intimately and experiencing the revelation of His that he ever entertained the idea of having his own. unconditional love (which ultimately birthed his “I knew that the Lord wanted me to make disciples, ministry) and thirty-five years of the incorporation not just converts,” recalls Andrew. “After God showed of AWM—he can be confident that he’s used every me His way of doing Bible college, I knew this was His possible avenue to spread God’s Word. He’s taken avenue for discipleship.” the grace-and-faith message that the Lord’s given him Charis Bible College opened its doors in the fall literally to the ends of the earth through the vehicles of 1994, and the rest, as they say, is history. Now in its of radio,f television, live seminars, the internet, cassette nineteenth year, CBC has grown to thirty-four schools, tapes and CDs, videos, and an array of printed materials. with an additional five or six to be added during 2013. But when Andrew looks forward into the future of CBCs dot the globe, with schools in Central and South AWM, what he has the greatest hope and the biggest America, Africa, Asia, Europe, and of course, the vision for is the one thing that he always told himself . he’d never have: a Bible college. Andrew will be the first As Andrew looks to the future, he ultimately sees to admit that he never liked the idea of starting a Bible hundreds of CBCs all over the world. “In the long college.

Gospel Truth Seminars. For years, he and a small staff, Through the Bible colleges, I can do just that. I know that my teachings on television and on CDs touch people, but in some cases, it may just be for a short time. What really changes people are the Bible colleges because they produce disciples.” Currently there are over 3,000 CBC students Charis Bible College Extension Schools 2013 worldwide, including those who are studying through the correspondence courses. There are more people involved in the extension schools than there are in the CBC Colorado school, which presently has 577 students. “My vision,” says Andrew, “is to have our Colorado school grow to at least 3,000 students, which can’t happen until we have a larger facility. If we keep the same ratio of Colorado to worldwide students as we have now, that would mean there would be about 15,000 students in our extension schools.” When asked what timeframe he projects for such growth, he replied, “I’m turning sixty-four this year, so it needs to be soon!” Andrew also envisions having central hubs in different parts of the world to support the various extension schools. “All of our other schools are dependent on our Colorado school. This is where we make our videos and other materials to distribute Projected Startup Schools to the colleges, and this is where we have our annual directors’ meeting and other centralized programs. 2013/2014 It will eventually be important to have hubs in other UNITED STATES places as well.” The next potential hub may be in Alpharetta, GA Russia, where CBC leaders have a vision to start 1,000 Atlanta, GA Minneapolis, MN new schools within five years!

A brief testimony of walking out “God Wants You Well.” Both my husband and daughter, on previous plane and car rides, had motion sickness. I had called the Andrew Wommack Ministries Helpline, and a sweet woman agreed with me in prayer over our upcoming trip, that the healing that is ours would manifest in my husband’s and daughter’s bodies. Three days before going on the trip, my husband chose to go on a water-only fast for the purpose of telling his body that it was already healed and to purge himself of any unbelief that might linger in regards to traveling. On the plane, my husband was free of any symptoms of motion sickness! After landing, he said that he still had a small battle in his thoughts, since he had fasted and had no food in his stomach to cause any issues. So, to really test this healing, my sweet husband ordered a large meat-lovers’ pizza and ate it twenty minutes prior to takeoff. He laughed, saying he felt even better on the way back, PRAISE GOD! Our daughter did have motion sickness on the way there and back, but even in the midst of vomiting, she and I sang “Rejoice in the Lord Always,” and there was peace in our midst. This past weekend, we went camping as a family and had to drive about two hours to the campsite. About thirty minutes from our destination, my daughter starts yelling that she doesn’t feel good. We stopped the car and prayed for her body to get in line with the Word and specifically had my husband speak to the motion sickness. We made it to the camp with no issues. On our return trip, no symptoms of motion sickness ever manifested. Victory is ours in Jesus! As Jesus is, so are we in this world! God, thank You for opening Your Word to us, revealing Your truth, and squishing all those religious traditions and doctrines that were stealing the abundant life You have for our family! K. J.

Dear Fellow Ministers:

For years, friends have asked me to start a ministers’ association. They tell me they feel disconnected and isolated. They say they need the friendships of other like-minded ministers and that they are looking for support and encouragement. I’ve prayed about this for years, and it’s time to act. We have developed, the Association of Related Ministries International. If you’re a pastor, traveling teacher or evangelist, church staff member, or a minister from a parachurch organization, you’re invited to be a part. I believe that the Lord has uniquely positioned Andrew Wommack Ministries (AWM) and Charis Bible College (CBC) to accomplish this. Through CBC, its staff, and a network of ministry professionals, we are able to bring extensive resources to the table. My purpose for ARMI is to serve you. My determination is to ensure that ARMI never becomes self-serving. I believe that this new organization will help ministers like you from across our nation and around the world fulfill their calling. God bless you,
