MATTHEW 10: 7-8 And as you go, preach, saying, “The Kingdom of God is at hand. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you have received, Freely give.”
When Covid hit our country, we did not miss one service. Always finding somewhere to meet for Sunday Services. From parking lots, camp grounds and park shelters.
That is when God opened the doors to this property.
The property at 2875 Oak Meadow Dr. was waiting for a church to be built on it.. The owner we purchased this 10 acres from said his mother had a long time desire to see this property with a church on it.. a virgin land with nothing built on it before.
To find this beautiful 10 acer piece of ground within the city limits was the beginning of the many miracles we saw during this building project.
We purchased this ground in the spring of 2021.
Holding a dedication service on a beautiful Easter Sunday.
The construction began in the fall after all the permits were finished.
There were miracles every day on the way God was guiding, it was every day confirmation we were building a house for Gods Kingdom. “A million little miracles!”
The biggest miracle off all is that it was built debt free!
LTM celebrated with an Open House in July 2022 .
Hosting the Joan Hunter Ministry for a 3 day conference and healing services.
People were blessed and healed.
The vision for Lightning and Thunder Ministry Apostolic Center is to train and equip the saints for the work of the ministry that God has called them to.
Hosting guest speakers to speak into our lives better equip the peoples of God to reach the lost and hurting.
In 2022 we have been greatly blessed to have Pastor Tom McGuire with Kingdom Builders International.
