Word from Rev. Dr. Annie Arakelian<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I am forever grateful and thankful to God for enabling and empowering us to accomplish and fulfill the Great Commission in 2023.<\/p>\n

If you remember the word the Lord had given for 2023, it was about restoration<\/strong> and abundance<\/strong>. I saw the manifestation of this promise in my personal life and ministry. We also heard many testimonies from ministry members and followers.<\/p>\n

The Lord is faithful. He keeps His promises!<\/p>\n

The powerful unity<\/strong> in love through the ministry team made it possible to accomplish what God has entrusted us within our spheres of influence.<\/p>\n

The ministry family and our partners\u2019 support strengthened<\/strong> us and lifted our hands to carry the burden of the Lord. We are so grateful for you all.<\/p>\n

Apart from Him we can do nothing, but with Him, we can do all things who gives us strength.<\/p>\n

We were able to accomplish God\u2019s plans in 2023 through the ministry\u2019s support groups, schools and mission trip. We trained, equipped, and empowered pastors, evangelists, prophets, missionaries, prayer warriors, and leaders globally.<\/p>\n

The Lord is leading Light of the Comforter Ministries to establish the five-fold ministry not only locally but globally. In order to be able to fulfill the Great Commission and preach the gospel internationally, we have commissioned an evangelist, Danny Dayne, in India. Danny will help plant a ministry school in India to equip the local church in inner healing and deliverance principles, which will bring Christ’s freedom in more permanent ways.<\/p>\n

I give thanks to God for an amazingly fruitful year. I give a big “thank you” for all the support and prayers we received from our followers and members. We are grateful to our Lord for this powerful teamwork.<\/p>\n

India Missions Trip<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We thank God for all He did during our mission trip in India. We are in awe, and give Him all the glory for the miracles<\/strong>, healing<\/strong>, and transformation<\/strong> we witnessed!<\/p>\n

While in the village of Rajumundry in Andhra Pradesh, we hosted a conference to teach inner healing and deliverance principles and bring revival to over 150 pastors<\/strong>, their wives, family, and community for over two days<\/span>. As the fire of God and healing anointing poured out with open heavens<\/strong>, more people from the village were drawn in to the presence of the Lord.<\/p>\n

While in the city of Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh, we hosted a conference to teach inner healing and deliverance principles and bring revival for over three days<\/span>. Revival and purifying fire poured out with open heavens, many were brought into deeper intimacy, purity, holiness, and love with God.<\/p>\n

God was convicting people and stirring up their hearts<\/strong> to repent of their sin, release forgiveness<\/strong> to those who hurt them, and turn away from unrighteousness. As people responded with repentance<\/strong> and true desires to walk in holiness<\/strong> and purity<\/strong>, the Lord set them free<\/span> of hindrances.<\/p>\n

Many received healing in their hearts<\/strong>, deliverance from torment\/grief\/demonic oppression<\/strong>, new joy of the Lord<\/strong>, and fresh revival<\/strong> & purifying fire<\/strong>. The pastors and people who came in weary and discouraged left restored<\/strong> and filled with encouragement<\/strong> and the joy of the Lord. Angels came to minister to the team and to bring the glory of Heaven.<\/p>\n
