Two and a half years ago my father passed away, two weeks before he accepted Jesus Christ as his savior. One night during prayer Jesus promised me a dance with my father in heaven. I owned that as mine. Tonight God fullfilled that promise. Tonight’s teaching was about Heaven on earth. It is ours to take, and it is possible. As I was receiving this with all my heart at the end of the service we were asked to ask Jesus to help us experience this. This is what I received. Jesus was dancing with me, and very happy with me and then after whispering that I was beautiful I noticed we were in a large room and it was dark all around and a spot light was on us. I am now in a wedding dress, and He says to me this is our father/daughter dance with the bride. His promise fullfilled. He also shared that we were at a wedding feast. I then later realized that I was dancing as the bride (church) and Jesus as the (bridegroom). He revealed that we were dancing in the Salem house of Prayer downstairs. This is a place where He wants to pursue a relationship with us with the intent to marry us. I am so blessed that He shared a small portion of what is in store for Salem as well as myself. Thank you Father for loving us so much. Kirstin S. – Hammond, OR
Thank you for hosting the Refreshing conference this past week. What a blessing! I am so glad I attended. I received prayer to break off tormenting dreams and have had peaceful sleep. Jesus has delivered me! The presence of the Lord was so wonderful. A big thank you to Eddie, Ryan, and the team from IHOP. I am moving to Roseburg this week and will greatly miss coming to SHOP weekly. You all have been such a blessing to me. You are administering the life of Jesus to Salem and the West Valley. I will be praying for continued resources and laborers for you. Thank you for your faithfulness. Keri D. – Sheridan, OR
Recently my father and x-wife died. completely unexpected. They were my two closest friends, and only family. I was devastated. Swore I would never step foot in church or talk to God again. Three days later I was in bad shape. I heard Jesus say, “need to talk?” Yahhh. His answer to why this happened was simply “You’ll see.” Well, here I sit in the house of prayer with my oldest son. I hadn’t seen him in14 years until Sarah’s funeral. Now My entire family is reunited on both coasts, I’m friends with my brother again! My son said today Why he thought this happened. “To connect us all together.” Michael A.
When Destiny School of Ministry came to the Friday EGS service Jim More asked the staff members to come to the front for prayer. The person who prayed for me prayed for my hands and asked for the gift of healing. Actually I thought they were kind of off because I have never had anybody pray that I would have the gift of healing before. I really didn’t feel much but thanked the Lord for the prayer anyways. That Sunday Angela bought some Eggnog. Even though I am very lactose intolerant I decided that I would have some and then take a Lactaid tablet when I got home. When I got home I forgot to take the Lactaid tablet, actually normally my body would have been screaming at me to take one by then. But my stomach did not hurt. Later that week I suspected I might have had a healing so I tested it and drank a whole glass of milk with no adverse reaction. I have since enjoyed milk several times. I guess the prayer for me to have the gift of healing caused the Lord to heal me. Praise the Lord. Todd S. Salem, OR -
This is actually an excerpt from an article that started as a note on FaceBook. The author has graciously allowed us to post it here.
So like two weeks ago, I was in a place where I was not experiencing God much, and it was making me crazy! I missed Jesus. So I told him that I needed him to do SOMETHING big in my life where I absolutely knew it was him. I had to know if he was still there. Yes, I was having a faith crisis, but that was where I was. The very next day, someone approached me with a little box and said the present was from Jesus. I opened the box and inside it was…more
I had gone through the Mommy Internship through SHOP. During that time God had showed me that through all of my pain and heartache growing up I had put a wall up to keep him out and by God’s grace we broke that wall down together. I then realized what real love was.After the internship I had went back to my hometown Warrenton, Or . I built the wall again during this time with no love or support I felt it was my only option. Not hearing from God I assumed he left me and was ashamed of me. I went to EGS the first Friday I had been back in Salem instantly I came into the presence and visioned that brick wall being tore down again just for him to be close to me. SHOP is an amazing place filled with amazing people who will love on you no matter what you judge yourself as. Ashley M. – Salem, OR
On a week long visit to SHOP God Moved constantly, Went into areas of my life I thought were hidden and brought utter healing in them. Revelations and times of intimacy were an every hour experience while I was there. I cant wait to be back!!! Matt K. – Warrenton, OR
Hm.. I wanted to write my SHOP testimony, so here goes. I began to worship on a team some time ago, and I fell in LOVE with this ministry and the people here, but more importantly, I fell in love with Jesus all over again. I decided to do an internship in February of last year. I had no idea what God was really asking when I heard him ask me to complete an internship. God absolutely rocked my world, but in a very painful way. He took me to really deep places of pain and hurt and rejection inside of me. It was so intense I could barely function and there was little I could do on my own. I was stripped of every strength in me for a season, but God gave me so much grace. He kept me safe from some people in an incredibly dangerous situation, and he delivered me from many fears, rejection, self hate, suicide, depression, anger, self pity, and so many other things. It was difficult to go to some of the places Jesus took me to, but it is so worth it to know him more. It is so worth it to break down any wall that is seperating me from him. It is worth it to see his face and feel his amazing heart. I am so thankful for the experience. God is not finished with the process yet, but I am thankful that he has surrounded me with so many people who care and who are helping me walk one day at a time toward Jesus, my exceedingly great reward!

Praise God! One of our staffers was really sick (not good) then after praying for her – within a few hours – she was up and around as if her body had never been down at all! This is not the first (or last) of the awesome works of God we are seeing! Jesus has been moving mightily in our midst! He truly sustains our praise with His awesome power!
A man shared with us that just while sitting in the worship prior to the EGS meeting on 10-29-10 his hearing was fully restored! He had been deaf in one ear and by a Sovereign touch from God his ear opened and he could hear!
I feel my relationship with God getting closer day by day. So in love with His presence. Plus the staff at SHOP are really encouraging, uplifting and always prepared to pray for someone when its needed.
(THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR COMMITMENT EVERYONE!)

I love the SHOP. I’m in Montana right now, and I totally miss that place. Every week when I go there I get rocked by the Holy Spirit, even when I’m not in the mood for worshiping God. I really appreciate everything you guys do, it’s changed my life. Daniel D. – Montana
Very cool! Love this new streaming broadcast. I can keep it on as I work. Bless you all.

Being so far away from Home (SHOP) has been hard. being able to listen to the live feed while I’m away brings me back into the prayer room in the Spirit. I can close my eyes and feel like I’m where I know I can be with Jesus, even when I’m not physically there.
