Jesus Christ is the SAME Yesterday, Today & Forever!


Bishop LaDonna reports from the city of Palankaraya, Indonesia where Jesus is once again showing himself ALIVE! She says,
As the sun is setting, the multitude of people listens. I tell them of God's love for them and assure them that only GOOD gifts are from Him. Pain, suffering, sickness and disease are not from God. From one of the stories in the Gospel of Luke, I show the people how they too can come to Jesus and receive His healing. It is important here to stress the identity of and the miracle resurrection of Jesus. Muslims have gathered and they must know the absolute authority and supremacy of Jesus Christ. Once again, when I invite people to believe on Jesus, to turn from their old ways of living and to receive His miracle life, it seems that every first timer raises his or her hands. A sea of golden hands, reaches heaven ward with hope and faith. Surely the heavenly hosts rejoice and break into joyful dance. Tonight after the prayer for the sick I encourage the people to act their faith, to do what they could not do before. Throughout the multitude people are getting out of wheelchairs, friends are checking the sight and hearing of their neighbors. Miracles are taking place everywhere. Soon both platform stairs are overflowing with people coming to testify!

Nobody Ever Wanted to be a Liar . . .


Missionary Donald O'Dell (Bishop LaDonna's Osborn's son) and his wife, Carina, ministered at IGC this Sunday morning. Along with their 4 children they are missionaries, Bible School founders and church planters in Ecuador. As usual, Rev. O'Dell's message challenged us to THINK and CHOOSE life. He said,
Nobody Ever Wanted to be a Liar, thief or a cheat. We don't just wake-up 1 day and think that's a good idea. NO - deception is progressive and gradual. Every second of every day we must choose LIFE.
You can order your copy of his message, and other messages, by emailing IGCenter@aol.com.

More News from Bishop Osborn in Indonesia

Bishop Osborn and her team have just completed another seminar & festival in Waingapu. It was a glorious success. She writes:

After the prayers for healing, there was a rush on the platform, as people came to give testimony to their miracle. The final day the pastors had to stand as a barricade to prevent the push of people from literally pushing us forward off the platform. We heard testimonies for nearly two hours on the final day. Cripples were walking. Children who had never walked were running. So many bind and deaf were healed that I lost count!


Keep praying for her and those ministering with her! They have traveled and arrived at their next location: Borneo.

Youth Love Ministry in Indonesia








Bishop LaDonna, Deac. Cory (her husband), Rev. Jennifer Yeager (IGC Music Minister) and Rev. Harry Jackson (Global Ministry Coordinator) are continuing their ministry in Indonesia. Now they are in Waingapu, and reports have been AWESOME. Even secular media has followed the ministry events with positive reports and reported the astonishing miracles that have already transpired. The past few days have ben spent training the Christian leaders and workers (more than half are under the age of 30.) Bishop LaDonna impresses them with Christ's purpose and destiny for their lives. She reminds them of the words of Jesus, "You didn't choose me bit I chose you, and ordained you that you should go and bear fruit..." (Jn 15:16) She challenges the pastors and the older Christians, "Believe in young people. Don't squeeze them into the mold of yesterday. The Church needs the energy, the zeal and the creativity of young people, if it is going relate to a new generation for Christ." She tells the young people, "God will do new things through you. He will give you ideas that He's given to no one else. Trust Him and His plan to live in you and to minister to hurting people through you."
