June 15-16, 2018:
Traveled to Blue Mountain Retreat, Tamaqua, PA, to hear Robert Stearnes and worship, and to tune our prayer life for upcoming American Awakening in Rhode Island. While at conference one lady prayed for Debra to receive an anointing somewhat like she did the previous year, and to go to Israel with Robert Sternes, Eagles Wings Ministry. Before we left two other ladies from Philadelphia, as we were praying for them, told us that the day before they heard to give us a check for $100.00 towards our travel to Israel.
June 18, 2018 On way up to MA, we heard that my Dad was taken to hospital in Newburyport with dizziness and very sore back and legs. We were already going to visit Rich’s Mom at Rehab in same city. She broke her leg in March, and it wasn’t healing properly. Dad ended up in same Rehab facility as Mom, and on June 21st they got to celebrate their 75th wedding anniversary in the function room. It was a joyous time, with lots of flowers, and Dad reading cards to Mom, saying we proved them wrong and we made it to a good place. What a fantastic gift from God over a 90+ age span!
6/22/18 We visited old friends to bring joy and comfort in Norwell, MA. A great tour of Scituate and reminiscing after two years away from each other.
6/24/18 Stayed in N. Attleboro, MA to attend an American Awakening Crusade in Central Falls, RI, headed up by Tommie Zito. Much street ministry of offering the message of Jesus’ freedom and love, plus many nights of worship, and teaching specifying all nations, Israel, and America.
We enjoyed some refreshing time in Newport at Warren’s Restaurant, Newport Beach, and Brenton State Park.
7/1-7/2/18. Drove to Calvary Camp in Ashland, VA for 2 nights. We heard Mahesh Chavda, from Charlotte area, speak. Debra and I had our picture taken with receiving his new book, ‘Power of a praying woman’.
7/3-7/4/18 Visited Kay Lewis in Rocky Mount, NC. Her and husband, Johnnie were the chaplains at Shiloh Place Ministries in Conway, SC, where we still volunteer in healing schools of affirmation and sonship in Father God’s defining.
We have had wonderful leading from The Lord in different avenues in June-August, 2018. Father God is tuning us to be better hearers of where people are in need. Some questions He has had us ask and ponder are, “Were you born in the right family?” Also, “Lord, what do I look like and feel outside of ministry?”
8/8/2018 Mom’s Home Going to The Lord
8/11/18 After a great New England Awakening, week – long meeting and street evangelism for the state of RI, first responders, and all nations that attended, we were back in Mass., after going home to SC for a month, and then back quickly to celebrate and honor the passing of Richard’s mother, Barbara M. Walsh, in Georgetown, MA.
Mom was 96 years old, and broke her leg last March, developed complications from pneumonia, and succumbed on 8/8/2018 at 11 PM. The number 8 meaning new beginning, and 11 meaning transition. The celebration of her life and funeral was attended by 5 generations in her family. She is survived by Richard’s Dad, Richard, Sr. and 4 generations of her offspring. She was raised in Georgetown, MA, where she was interned at The Harmony Cemetary alongside her son, Robert, and baby Barbara I.
A wonderful celebration and thankfulness for the life and love that Father God has brought her through, and in a life of love and thankfulness was viewed, and spoken of her with great joy.
8/15-17/2018 Stayed and ministered to a friend, and his two women friends beside, whom we had not seen in about 10 years in Cape Cod. The Lord is so kind and gentle, even when we were talking to a Buddhist monk at the airport. Many more highlights of overwhelming, that are not fully unexplainable yet.
Blessings,
Richard and Debra Walsh
