Here are some testimonies we've received about Accelerant 2010. If you want to share your testimony, email news@iphc.org.

We enjoyed Accelerant so much.  And the snow was an added blessing since we seldom see any.  We had almost as many adults go from our church as we did kids.  Our youth are so pumped up they are about to float away.  Thanks! - Faye P.

As a small child, I was abused by my biological dad.  My mom married a man she met a church, and he adopted me.  He is now a pastor.

I expected [Accelerant] to be like last year, get on fire, then get home and the whole youth group loses it.  But boy did I get proved wrong.  Saturday morning my body was just hurting so bad that I was to the point of crying, and one of the guys from [Eddie James Ministries] came down from the stage towards our youth group, and one of my youth leaders told him she wanted him to pray for me.  He started praying for me and I received the Holy Ghost, and God spoke to me and said, "Your biological dad may not have treated you like he loved you, but I am here for you now." After they finished praying for me, I felt no pain at all. 

[On Sunday] Eddie James had us form a prayer tunnel and I went through, and came out speaking in tongues again.  I went to the back where they carried all the people who fell out in the Spirit in the prayer tunnel, and I was wandering around speaking in tongues because I just couldn't stand still.  I was dancing, and even after that my body felt no pain at all.  By the time we left, everyone was packing up the stage and we were the only youth group left there. My youth leaders had to help me back to the hotel because I was drunk in the Spirit and still speaking in tongues. We go to the hotel and I was still speaking in tongues two hours after we got back.

I can't wait to go back to school, and I'm gonna stay on fire so I can light other people's matches!  - Name Witheld

Just wanted to thank all who helped pull Accelerant together. It was a fantastic opportunity for our kids.  We were ALL truly blessed and two were saved from our youth group Saturday night!  Eddie James and his team were amazing... hope they come back, as we plan to return next year! Thank you again... God Bless! - Jonell W.

Our kids gave testimonies Wednesday night.  The Accelerant trip really was a great help to so many.  We had teen girls talk about being free from sexual sin, freedom from suicidal thoughts, depression, etc. It was one of those nights that God moved so strongly that you know peopel will never be the same. Thanks for all the work you guys do with Accelerant.  The weekend was a great catalyst for change in those that went which affected the ones that did not go too. - Brock

IPHC Women's Ministries recently teamed up with two local churches to provide Christmas gifts for needy children.

The Inner City Christmas Stocking Project provides gifts for children from Metro Ministries in Brooklyn, New York.  The national WM office in Oklahoma City teamed up with River of Life and Divine Life churches to make over 150 gift-filled stockings!

Girls' Ministry Director Irvina Parker and Loan Fund Director David Parker personally delivered the stockings to Metro Ministries.  Reit, the WM Director at Metro Ministries, said the church gives out 40,000 to 50,000 stockings annually.

If you want to provide stockings for metro children, there is still time!  Click here to learn more about the Inner City Christmas Stocking Project. All stockings must arrive by November 15.
