I just know that it’s important to stand firm till the end and then you’ll get the answer to the question you came here to find. I’ve been coming for many years and I’ve often gotten all the answers I’ve been seeking. A year ago I was sick with cancer fourth stage cancer as a matter of fact but I was healed I’ve been living cancer-free for a year now but God even used the constant power ages for his glory. When the microphone stopped working deaf ears began to hear.

I couldn’t hear in my right ear for a very long time and you know when I close my left ear I could immediately hear. Praise the Lord.

Before the retreat I fell off my bike I injured my arm and bruised it a little bit I had pain in my arm now. After prayer the pain is gone. Praise the Lord for 5 years.

I had pain in my left shoulder when you mentioned healing the pain immediately went away I thought I imagined that I started moving it and it doesn’t hurt

By the way this time, the retreat was held in the theme restoration of everything.

Before the retreat God revealed to us the primary Direction he would move in for some it was physical renewal. For others it was spiritual and for some it was emotional some people received Liberation from fears confusion and lingering anxiety and of course renewal in prayer was also taking place.

Harry Tabbakh – Captain, U.S. Navy, Retired:

You have fun here. It reminded me of a military unit preparing for battle. It’s what we call inspiration for battle. Wonderful Impressions there are a lot of people smiling, happily praying for Israel, for Ukraine, for the soldiers both Israeli and Ukrainian. As I was talking to your Rabbi Boris I realized that there also is an active battle against anti-Semitism going on not only in Ukraine but also globally.
