Two Peas In A Pod
Becky and Jerry...IN ACTION!!!
The LORD wrapped up Becky and I like “two peas in a pod” to share our testimony and the message planted in our hearts, “Contend ing For The Fullness of God In Our Lives”. Side by side, we ministered in the LORD by the power of unity, through the Holy Spirit, as “two became one” in Him. God gave us favour over the skies as we rarely saw inclement weather behind the steering wheel of our 5,000 mile road trip which allowed us to minister to over a hundred people from the wells of anointing of the International House of Prayer in Kansas City.
Prayer and Prophetic Gathering
We want to thank those who prayed, prophesied, and invested in our time of ministry, then sent us on our way to Aaron (my son) and Ashley’s (our new daughter-in-law) wedding. I was honored to officiate the blessed occasion!!!
Colorado Springs, Colorado
Our first stop was in Colorado Springs, Colorado on November 1st. We were treated like royalty by the Danyow’s with a delicious dinner and a jammy bed. We had an opportunity to get caught up on years gone by and on our vision for our road trip. It is good to know that our brother and sister in Christ are being salt and light to those their lives touch.
Las Vegas, Nevada
When we arrived in Las Vegas, Nevada we were hosted by a dear friend, Elsa Cascos. Our brief visit gave us an occasion to reunite with our friends from Word of Grace (The Turner’s, Jerry Rimmer, Stevo, Kitty Sprout) on Tuesday night and to meet Pastor Ruben and his wife Lilliana. We swapped stories from over a decade of being disconnected with our friends and then blessed our loved ones with prophetic words and prayers. What an incredible night of body building and fellowship! Hopefully we will get some pictures to share from this evening.
Mi Casa Su Casa...Becky and Elsa in her home
On Wednesday, November 4th, 2009 (the day the “awakening” broke out with the IHOU students at chapel) Becky and I shared for the first time together, literally, like a tag team at Comunidad Cristiana De Las Vegas. Pastor Ruben graciously allowed us to minister to the congregation after he lead an IHOP style worship which left us tenderized before the LORD. After sharing our message we ministered to approximately a dozen couples though our testimony on reconciliation and then began prophetic ministry with anyone who wanted to receive. Becky and I were actually watching the LORD do His work through our almost blind faith. We were astonished to observe the tears and joy expressed while we stepped out in obedience. After working with the couples we prophesied over individuals and then the Youth Group as a whole. Pastor Ruben, who reminded us how well he knew his congregation, gave us some great feedback on the sweetness of God’s words to the brothers and sisters of Comunidad Cristiana and testimonies of healing, deliverance and encouragement for many. We were there until 11:30 pm.
Earlier that day (November 4th), Rick and Debbie Newman (close friends and ministry companions from Sonrise Christian Fellowship:1992), treated us to a fabulous lunch and a heartfelt time of reunion, full of fond memories. Then it was off to dinner with my brother Casey and his wife Barbie. They shared with us pictures and stories from their vacation to Ireland….with no blarney…for sure.
We shared a glorious lunch with Pastor Ruben the next day (recapping the previous evening’s ministry time), before we visited my ailing step-father, Paul, and drove to Yucca Valley, California.
Yucca Valley, California
g-g-boys Kayden & Skyler
G-G-PA & Skyler!!
We stayed with our daughter Christy and her husband Austin in their RV while intermittently bouncing our two GGBOYS (Great Grandsons) on our knees, smiling with glee at their expressions of wonder. Of course this means we were able to see some of our other grandchildren, Ashley, Nicole, Torrie, Joshua and Kevin on leave from the Marines.
Desert Hot Springs, California
Friday evening we joined our prayers with Bo and Stephanie Handran in a home fellowship group that meets at Don and Jean Snook’s home in Desert Hot Springs, California. After we prayed and worshiped, Becky and I were blessed again to share the message on our hearts and prophesy over those in attendance. It was another late night filled with the fullness of the LORD for all!
Twentynine Palms, California
Saturday, we drove out to Twentynine Palms to have lunch with the Perez Family. What a joyful time of communion in the LORD. Patrick and Roxanne had exciting news about a move they may be making and we were blessed to hear a worship song their son Kellen wrote that was inspired by a poem from our website (www.jerrypquinn.org) We left the Perez family with encouraging words both to and from them.
Later than evening Tony and Betty Salto dropped by to fellowship with us at our daughter Christy’s house in Yucca Valley. We caught up on what is happening in the LORD with the Spanish Congregation, Centro Cristiano Para La Familia. Pastor Tony really has a burden to see an Acts Chapter 2 assembly with those God has given him to minister to as well as teaching them to be prepared for return of the Lord!
Morongo Valley, California
We attended a worship service at The Church of the Lighted Cross in Morongo Valley by invitation from Bo Handran and then Don Snook asked us to come to the 6pm gathering. The Snook’s were among others who expressed an interest in coming to Onething09 in December. It was another great evening “Contending for the fullness of God” as we met Pastor Bob Firl and his wife Sandy who asked if we could come back and spend two or three months to bring fire and light to the Morongo Basin. Please pray for open doors if this is God’s will.
Turlock-Elk Grove, California
We left the next morning for Turlock, California and then up to Elk Grove to visit briefly with Becky’s family.
Portland, Oregon
The next day, Tuesday, we rolled into Portland, Oregon. For the next several days we were caught up in a whirlwind of wedding preparations which included family time with my brother Casey, his son (my nephew, Ryan) and my sister Kelly. There is also a story about an alleged “vehicle theft” turned “that which was lost, was found” tucked in here but you will have to petition me for more info on this event. Then on Saturday, November 14th, 2009 at about 3:30pm I presented for the first time
Aaron & Ashley
Quinn
joined as one before God and man!

FINANCIAL PARTNERS
Both Becky and I will be seeking staff positions until our financial partnership base reaches enough to maintain our monthly budget of $2500. A monthly commitment to our ministry allows us to establish and maintain a budget as well as frees us to exercise our gifts to bring healing and deliverance to many.
