Testimony by Kevin Nugent

Prison Ministry Testimony 4/16/19 – We had our normal group of speakers present tonight
and had over 60 men attending the service. After we all spoke, we ended with an
invitation and had several recommit their lives to the Lord and several asked for prayer. One in particular, his name is Seneca Yates, approached me asking would I pray for him. I asked how I could pray for him and If he knew Jesus as his personal savior. He began to cry and responded “Please pray for me a new way of life. My ways were not working; I give my life to the Lord!” I prayed with him and embraced him and expressed God’s Love for him! God is moving and softening the hearts of men in the UPDC!

Thanks,
Kevin Nugent

I got a call from Chris Stroud who just graduated from high school. He asked
me if I would carry him to Shreveport, Louisiana so that he could enlist in the
Air Force. He said that I was his last resort; I assured him that I would do this.
He is from a poor family and has not been fathered in the things of God; he
lives with his mother and stepfather. In the Air Force he would be trained and
air-conditioning and refrigeration then be able to get a college education after
that.

Monday June 16, 2015: I met with David Trapp, his son Davie, Curt Eberts,
Gerald Brinkley at the Hilton for breakfast. David and Betsie have completed
their course at Andrew Womack School in Colorado and they are praying about
making a change. They have their home up for sale and are considering leaving
the Atlanta area. We assured him that if he wanted to move back to North
Louisiana, we would welcome him into the Fellowship and also help him find a
place in ministry. His challenge is the sale of their home and his used-car business.
Betsie's father had passed away and they had gone to Little Rock Arkansas for a
memorial service then drove down to West Monroe.

Saturday June 6, 2015: This morning we had a men's meeting at Brother Jerry Linhares home. I carried two of my grandson's and went 25 miles to pick up Mr. Adams my friend of 92 years of age. The room was full of men and we had Andy Magee come up from Pineville to share with us. He is a retired major from the Army and is now working as an instructor in prelaw at Louisiana Baptist College. He is also working on his doctorate. Andy will be speaking tomorrow at his church there in Pineville and it is his desire that we lay hands on him and commissioned him for this task. He has some anxieties! We laid hands on him and I asked Mike Clark if he would lead in this commissioning. He did this in a powerful way; Mike is full of the Holy Spirit! Andy spoke on the progressive move in the Holy Spirit in our lives. During his talk he pointed me out as a spiritual father. I was blessed! Mike thanked me for calling on him to pray for Andy. Afterward I had the men pray for Mr. Adams who is having treatment for small cancer is lung. And also asked them lay hands on my two grandsons and pray for them, that God would use them mightily as they became men of God. This was a good time for the men in the Lord.

Malawi day 1

4/15/2019

Saturday April 13, 2019:
DAY 1:
Team Members:
Mike Walker
Rayland Trisler
Jimmy Eley
Whit Bass
Our Flight was rescheduled due to Storms. We left on the 6 AM flight to Washington DC instead of the 230 PM flight.
Monroe Airport
A Request for prayer by Team Member Jimmy Eley was made. Jimmy told me he had strained and injured his shoulder area and was in pain for 2 weeks with no relief. I asked Mike Walker to join me as we anointed Jimmy in the Monroe Airport with oil and prayed for him. We prayed for his interior part of his left shoulder to be healed. I found out after we landed in Atlanta that his shoulder was completely pain free. He knew this after grabbing his luggage from the overhead luggage bin.
Also, while at the Monroe Airport I prayed for a blind lady named Anna. I prayed for her eyesight to be healed. She inquired about my faith and I shared the Gospel message with her of how she could pray and receive Christ. No decision was indicated by her yet but a seed was planted. Nor was there any evidence of healing in her eyesight.
While on the flight to Washington DC our whole team sat on the same row. Jimmy sat by a flight attendant for United Airlines names Crissy. They struck up a conversation and talked about the Lord for quite some time. Jimmy reached over and asked me to talk to her so we changed seats. She asked me to pray for her husband’s healing of Cancer, healing in their marriage and for his Salvation. We prayed for just that. What I also found out was that she had been healed of cancer herself.
So, I began to tell her that I believed she had an anointing to pray for others with cancer since she herself had been healed. Upon hearing this news, she was so moved by receiving permission and encouragement to do pray for the sick that she wept tears of JOY.
THEN as I’m wrapping up my time with Crissy I was asked to come to the front of the cockpit of the plane. The 3 stewardesses’ (1 man and 2 women) were waiting for me to pray with them. I usually request to pray for the airline staff when I board the plane and this time, they took me up on it. Each one requested prayer for different needs. One for WISDOM. One for DIRECTION. The least for Overall good HEALTH. EACH ONE received the prayer with expectancy.
We spent the remaining day with Mike Walkers son Damon - wife Micky, and son Chaz. We watched Chaz play a baseball game then we spent the night at their home and were hosted wonderfully with a steak dinner and baked potato. WONDERFUL HOSPITALITY was shown to us before heading into the very poor and impoverished community near Blantyre Malawi.

Friday, June 5, 2015: This morning I had my annual checkup with Dr. William Smith with whom I have been seeing since my heart attack on December 23, 1998. As I was setting in the waiting room a lady walks out in scrubs and says, "William Smith." I was the only one there at the time so I answered back my name is Robert Lindsay and I'm here to see Dr. Smith. She disappears then comes back and called me and I follow her to the examining room. This was her first day on the job and she was very nervous and also had a nurse practitioner there to help her as she took my information and recorded my medication. I could tell that she was nervous and insecure. As I look down, I saw her wedding ring was a large diamond. I said, "Your husband sure does love you with that large diamond that you're wearing." Her answer was, "he likes to spend money." I answered back, "Well he's spending it on the right person." She said, "I hope so." I sensed a compassion for her, her name was Amy. She was not only insecure on her job but also at her marriage. I visited with Dr. Smith and he was pleased with my physical condition and my blood test.

After Dr. Smith released me, I had a desire to pray for Amy, as I left the room there, she stood. I motioned for she come over I told her that I felt like God wanted me to pray for her and would she mind. She said she would like for me to pray for her. She and I stepped inside the room and she closed the door, when she did the nurse practitioner open the door so I invited him to join us in prayer but he declined. He went to church at Ouachita Baptist with Casey Stover. As I began to pray for Amy, that her husband would love her like Christ loved the church and for her family. The Lord help me by sending the Holy Spirit and He blew across her. Her face turned red, tears began to come out of her eyes and her sinuses began to run uncontrollably. When I finished, she was embarrassed about her condition and began to wipe her face with Kleenex. She embraced me; thanking me and I disappeared from her life leaving her to the grace of God.
