“And they OVERCAME him by the BLOOD OF THE LAMB, and the word of their TESTIMONY;…” Rev. 12:11
God called each of us to be a witness of the things He has done in our lives. He did not call us to prosecute Satan and all His evil forces, that position He retains for Himself. As a witness we do not have the responsibility of proving anything rather testifying or recounting that we have seen and do know. In performing such simple tasks we in turn encourage others to keep the faith and hold fast to the promises of God. God is not a God of chance but of purpose; our witness of His miraculous intervention is His plan, His purpose. So we come together in effort to share and give witness of His great works to not only our friends, neighbors, co-workers but the entire world. We invite you to join us in becoming overcomers by the word of your testimony. We would like to publish your testimony, your witness, of God’s intervention on your behalf through this ministry; so the world could be encouraged and your experiences and trials of faith may effect change throughout the world.

In the year of 1995 my step son fell dead at the age of thirty three. This was all a surprise to us, we later realized the cause of death was due to a rare genetic syndrome of the connective tissue (Marfans Syndrome). At this time my birth son (22), was checked and was diagnosed with the same disorder. Little did we know that beginning at the age of thirty, would begin a long road of surgery after surgery due to Marfans. It all began with the first surgery for an abdominal aneurysm that we didn’t know he had. From then on every year since, Jonathon has had to have major heart surgeries and repairs. The last one in April of 08 was a complete removal of the aorta. With research we have found that only 50% of people with this disorder only live to be 30. It has been God’s grace and mercy that has kept him alive. In Feb.of 08, my husband, had a heart attack. He was air lifted to St. Louis, Missouri, where he underwent heart surgery. A couple hours after surgery; He was in the recovery room, and the doctor came and told us, that he had a tear in his aorta going from his heart to his kidney. In order to fix this problem the medical team would have to have emergency surgery again. With this situation the doctor, had told us that it would be a rare chance of survival, but without it he could not survive. We hung onto faith and proceeded with the surgery. After an 8 hour surgery, my husband was back in recovery for 5 days. Due to the surgery on the 6th day, he was having lung complications. With reluctance, the doctors said that he would have to have surgery on his left lung. The risks were high because of the previous surgeries. Once again we proceeded with the surgery, and he made it through by the mercy of God. John’s road to recovery in the hospital lasted six weeks. From then, it has been a slow go, and has taken a lot of patience and time to help John get better. Each day he is getting stronger and we owe all the credit to God. Through the Pierce family ministry the Lord has given us words of hope and encouragement that by prayer and faith my son and husband was going to be ok. We are very blessed to have them in our lives. There is so much that we can thank the Pierce family and God for, but words could not express our love and appreciation for them.

Pastor Pierce prayed over us both and God answered our prayers with a job promotion when my husband was not next in line. It was a miracle that he got it. God is Great!

Almost 18 years ago Pastor Pierce was visiting a church in San Diego, CA. My wife and I where asked by my Aunt to attend this once in a lifetime experience. At that time my wife and I had been married for a few months, pregnant and waiting our first and only child.
Pastor Pierce walked over to us and told my wife and I that our child was going to have complications but if I had faith everything was going to turn out just fine. At birth, to Pastor Pierce's exact words everything came true, My son and wife began fetal distress, which lead to my son being born with Meconium Aspiration and an emergency c-section. These complications came from faulty machinery and the primary doctors errors, yet that was the start to truly believing how powerful prayer is and in believing in that prayer would make such a huge impact.
My son was rushed by a trauma team to a full facility Hospital on 100% oxygen, tubes all over his body and stayed in the hospital on the oxygen for a 3.5 weeks and amazed every doctor, nurse and specialist everyday of his stay in neonatal Urgent Care. By medical statistics, he shouldn't have made it out of the hospital and if he did he'd be blind, problems with speaking, partial or total loss of site, in short a vegetable.
Today he is a senior in high school, in the top 8% of the Nations ranking with CT, SAT & PSAT scores, top 4% of his high school where he is in the I.B. (International Baccalaureate) program. Three weeks ago he had a Harvard interview and next week a Princeton interview.
I can't tell you how many times my wife and I have discussed what a miracle our son has been to us and everyone he has come in contact with. A child with a true blessing from GOD. We thank Pastor Pierce for obeying God and for those words which changed our lives forever.

I was having problems in May of 2001. After visiting the doctor I was told I had two tumors. One was on the front of my neck and the other on the side. Because of the placement and size I underwent surgery to have the tumor on the side removed. After surgery everything appeared fine until a month later I begin having problems again. I did not know what was causing it but I decided to trust God and went to hear Pastor Pierce in Revival. During service Pastor Pierce called me to the front and laid his hand on the front of my throat. He said I had a tumor but that God was going to heal me. What he didn’t know was that I had only had one tumor removed and the tumor in the front of my neck remained. He prayed for me and immediately I felt the tumor burst in my neck. It was gone. God had healed me. When I returned to the doctor for reevaulation he said God must have had his hands on me because there was no tumor. It was gone. I believe in miracles and I beleive in prayer. It’s been 5 years and I have not had any more problems. God healed me.

As a young adult I went against my desires and moved an hour’s drive away from anyone I knew. I made the decision to do this because a job opportunity had fell flat in my lap and God put it there. After about a month of living what seemed so far away from all that I loved, everything in me wanted to cry and stomp my feet. Each day I found myself clinging to the words of Pastor Pierce. Not too long before this job was offered to me Pastor Pierce had told me that I would be moving, I would find a husband, and a few other specific personal things. Later I learned that around the same time Pastor Pierce ministered to my mother saying that she’ll be “happier than she’s ever been”. At the time it didn’t seem fast enough or even all make sense, but it was so uplifting to know God had sent word to me saying “Hang on. It’s coming.” Now some five years later I think about what a struggle it felt like, to do the simple task that God asked me to do–trust Me and go where I send you. I wanted to question His reasons and to doubt my assurance in the decisions I had made that put me where I was. Only with much prayer from others and seeking God’s strength each day have I made it thus far. I can tell you that through God’s mercy and grace and my obedience to Him, God blessed me with a job that many will only dream of having. Because of timing and placement of God I met my husband on a blind date that should never have happened, have been able to bless many through my occupation with whom I never would have had the opportunity to work with, and have a strong Christian woman as a leader to follow and work with on a daily basis. You can’t tell me that God hasn’t got it figured out because not only did He send word to me, but He took time to comfort my concerned mother by letting her know Nette will be alright. He is the All Mighty One who is in charge. We may not always understand the reasoning behind the actions in our lives but I’ve learned to take each day in faith and trust whole-heartedly in the Lord to see and receive the blessing He so eagerly wants to give us. And if God has mercy enough on you to send encouragement through His messengers as He did for me through Pastor Pierce, receive it. You can stand on it because it will come to past.

In 1999 I had a car wreck. I broke my jaw in 3 places, my hip, leg, knee, crushed my foot, among other things. They had to reconstruct my mouth, chin and foot. The doctors said I would never walk again. I had to have my mouth wired shut, had many surgeries and was in a wheelchair. I went to a revival in Philadelphia, where Pastor Pierce was speaking. He came down and prayed for me. He said the Lord was going to heal me twice as fast. The doctors said I would be in a wheelchair for 4 months and then they would try to work with my legs in physical therapy if I were to ever attempt walking again. But I know a God who doesn’t have “if” in His vocabulary. The doctors had said if I ever walked again it would be from a wheel chair to a walker and crutches. But the Lord healed me twice as fast and I went from a wheelchair one day to walking on my own the next. I was only in the wheelchair for a month and a half. I thank God for his blessing everyday and for Pastor Pierce and the Pierce Family Ministries.

About 12 years ago I had a car accident that left me with more scars than I care to acknowledge, but one specific was the inability to conceive another child. My husband and I had one child at the time but dearly wanted more; he was better at handling the longing and emptiness than I. Some asked how we, having one, could possibly experience emptiness, but when it comes to holding a little one you carried and felt grow within you knowing it’s the likeness of your husband, all chubby cheeks and tiny toes…well the heart reacts how it will and emptiness for lack of a better word describes that uncontrollable, overpowering longing. We had tried all we knew to do and after 6 years I had finally reached the point that I just gave up; I didn’t want to talk about it or even entertain the idea. I had hurt for as long as I could. A couple of years later I had discovered Pastor Pierce and his family and begin working with them and the ministry. At the time they knew nothing of my accident or our wish for more children. Over a fellowship dinner one evening Pastor Pierce looked down the table where we were all conversing and simply said you and your husband are going to have another child. I just laughed and said okay not disclosing to them that physically it was impossible. That was part of me I didn’t want anyone else to see, it made me vulnerable. I didn’t want anyone’s pity and I had accepted things just as they appeared to be. In 2004 I went in for some minor surgery and after a prolonged wait with nurses grinning and whispering between themselves, the doctor calls to say I was expecting. I didn’t even believe him. I simply told him that they must have mixed up the blood work, but at his insistence scheduled an appointment with my physician a couple days later. We have a beautiful little girl who is a delight to be around. She keeps us all on our toes with her adventurous ways and on our knees simply with her presence; for what could be more precious than daily holding God’s Grace in my arms. I thank God for allowing Pastor Pierce to hear His voice and have courage to speak healing, faith, hope and direction to those who in the lowest valleys of their life so desperately need it.

About 3 years ago I was at the point of suicide. There is no nice way of saying it; it was just fact that is where I stood. God set a lady in my path who told me about this ministry and where I could find this man if I ever needed help. So I went knowing nothing other than where the building was, having no idea that I was about to have my life set on a new course. I came into the service and was greeted just like everyone else with smiles and hellos and nice to have you visit, no one save God knowing why I was really there. When Pastor Pierce stood he looked straight at me and said “The spirit of suicide that is on you is about to leave off. Stand up and raise your hands.” That man didn’t know me from Adam. He knew nothing of my past, nothing of where I was or what I was trying to live with, I had never so much as been in his presence. It was not with some great fanfare that my life changed; it was just a few words and laying on of his hands. I felt peace in the middle of my raging mind as never before in my life. It was lasting. It wasn’t that all my problems went away but I could face them and knew what to do. It was the very thing I needed to survive; surviving being the key factor here because I had gambled my very breath on this trip. In all my life I have never seen the hand of God work and bless as I have these past 3 years. I wake up looking forward to experiencing today no matter the circumstances. I am a real man in a real world so there are many days I face extreme obstacles but that peace has never left, it only grows stronger. All I know is that God has anointed this man and I am so thankful that he was used to spare my life.

A great many people search for one particular event in their life that they can say, “The Lord did this thing for me.” Through the past six years, I have been blessed beyond measure. In those years that I have dedicated to the Lord, there have been many, many days that I did not feel well, sicknesses in my body; times when I thought I was possibly loosing my mind. When I finally got myself to the point where I was just thankful for the small things as they came along, it seemed as if my life seemed to get better. Much prayer, mostly for others, much studying and learning has brought me to the place where I can be happy and content with myself. This is the biggest blessing that the Lord could have ever given me. I discovered that if I do not like myself, I could not like anything or anyone else. Being able to be comfortable in my own skin is the biggest thing that the Lord has done for me! To this end, my whole way of thinking has changed and for the better. I have experienced healing in my physical body, seen my family and friends be blessed in times of need and seen the literal miraculous occur before my eyes. I have been healed of migraine headaches, which I suffered from for over 20 years. I have been given my family, my peace of mind and my sanity back. I am happy! I have had things ministered to me by Pastor Pierce over the years, and thought that this is crazy. Not to question the Lord, but just that I could not believe something like the prophecy being given to me could occur. I’ve learned when I reach the point where I am not expecting anything from my relationship with the Lord, that’s exactly what I get. But I have seen many of the prophecies come to pass and I wait expectantly on others to be fulfilled.

I went to the hear Pastor Pierce at the encouragement of my son and daughter-in-law. I had hurt my knee and had been through test after test only to be told it would take surgery and time to correct the problem. The time away from work I could not afford and even with surgery I was to still endure pain from time to time. While in service, Pastor Pierce told me about my knee and the trouble I had been having; then he simply said God is going to heal it. He went on to tell me of several things in my past that had affected me emotionally and about things I was currently concerned over, things that I had never told anyone. This man did not know me! He didn’t know anything about my life or the things he was telling me because only I knew of them. I know it was God speaking through him, for only God could have known. To this day my knee has never given me any trouble. God healed me.
