Rev. Charlie Little, Pastor, Templeton Presbyterian Church, Templeton, CA

PERSONAL TESTIMONIES
"I came with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) emphysema with 80% lung damage. During ministry, I got hot and cold, and could take deeper breaths more easily with no discomfort. I could not stop crying for joy. I feel a little “high” because I think now my (supplemental) oxygen is turned up too much." (Joyce)
"I have an old neck injury with chronic neck, shoulder, and jaw pain. During ministry, neck crunching reduced and pain diminished. Shoulder pain went except for one spot. I have increased neck mobility without pain. I am filled with peace, deep relaxation, joy, and encouragement." (Beth)
"I have muscle spasms and possible tears. After being prayed for I feel a release of pressure. I am more flexible. I felt the pressure leaving from my head, going down my neck, and out my fingers as commanded by my healers (ministry team). Praise God!" (Kristine-4/25)
"I had extreme pain in right wrist, I could not flex my wrist without a sharp extreme pain to the point of dropping things. Today there is no pain." (Ron-3/17)
"I could not lift my arm, right shoulder pain at a level 3-8 when trying to raise arm to the side. After I was prayer for - No more pain. I can lift arm over my head. I feel great, very close to complete healing." (Vinnie-1/28)
"There is a knot where my middle finger joins the hand. It was full of pain at the touch and about the size of a walnut. The first time they prayer I was having to deal with my own thoughts and emotions by making adjustments in my own heart. Then I asked the team to pray for my unbelief, 'I believe, help my unbelief'. The second time they prayer there was a confidence, an assurance that came over me. I asked if they would pray one more time. Each time prayer was offered there was a definite change in the size of the knot. I believe I received what I asked for. You can barely tell the knot is there, by touch or feel. Maybe some scaring left. Just like Jesus. He still bears the scars." (Mike-4/25)
"I had a cough, strong tension headache and pain in neck and shoulders from muscle tension. Now the headache is gone and tension gone in neck and shoulders." (Jason-1/25)

ATTENDEE'S RESPONSE TO "AUTHORITY TO HEAL" SEMINAR
"I have to let you know that I benefited greatly from the Authority to Heal seminar at Nevada City (January 2016). The blending of hands-on ministry and teaching was awesome not to mention the victorious outcomes of healing. The eleven coaches who came from long distances to be a part of the teaching imparted a level of dedication, professionalism, and unity of approach that I trusted and appreciated. "You took a gifting God has given to the Body and demystified it, making it accessible to the general body and not just for a gifted few. In doing that, the Body of Christ (present during the two days of teaching) was lifted up more to His image -- at least that was my experience. So thank you for pouring yourself out for the Body of Christ. We went from the conceptual to the actual in less than 24 hours." (Vikki)

A BRIEF GLIMPSE OF OROVILLE HEALING SEMINAR HELD AUGUST 21-22, 2015
We saw a lot of Jesus' work, including joint injuries fully healed as well as significant improvement in hearing and sight. One doctor of Chiropractic, who was a small group first-time leader, felt her bone move as though she were getting an adjustment herself, she said. Many were amazed at what the Lord did and the host church small group leaders were genuinely excited by Saturday afternoon.
Participants reported various experiences including: touch of the Holy Spirit, heat, warmth, coolness, seeing bright light, tingling, a sense of peace, calm and love, hope and encouragement. Physically there was increased mobility, tendon’s moving, many relieved of pain, tension and swelling relief, eye sight improved, muscles relaxed, pressure gone, anxiety decreased, hearing restored, relieved of burdens, nausea and headaches gone. All glory goes to the Lord, the One who heals.
