Heaven's Echoes: A Powerful Ministry Changing Lives Through Music and Faith

Judy Biggers from Heaven's Echoes 

As I sat down to interview Judy Biggers from Heaven's Echoes, I knew I was in for something special. This southern gospel group isn't just about beautiful harmonies and uplifting melodies; they're on a mission to change lives through their music and ministry. Today, I want to share with you the incredible story of Heaven's Echoes and how they're making a difference both locally and internationally.

The Birth of a Ministry

Heaven's Echoes began in 1983 as a family group, singing in their local church in Plumerville, Arkansas. What started as special performances and revival meetings soon grew into something much bigger. As Judy explained, "About 12 years ago, the Lord really deepened our calling and broadened our horizons." They realized that their ministry wasn't just about music; it was about reaching out to hurting people and showing them the healing power of God's love.

This realization led them to expand their ministry beyond traditional church settings. They began to focus on testifying and seeing people come to know the Lord in various venues. Judy shared, "There are just a lot of hurting people in this world. We all walk around with a smile, Christians a lot of us, but there's always the hurt and the pain and the journeys that people have been through."

A Global Impact

What truly amazed me about Heaven's Echoes is their commitment to international ministry. They've partnered with Evangelistic International Ministries (EIM) to bring the gospel to places like Honduras and Ghana. Judy's eyes lit up as she recounted their experiences in Africa:

"We went into the bush... We had to meet a tribal chief just to get permission to go about his villages and testify. We saw almost 3,000 souls saved, and we were busy from daylight till dark. It was phenomenal; God just visited."

Their work with EIM also includes the Shepherd's Bags Ministry, providing essential items and the message of Jesus' love to children in need. It's a beautiful example of how small acts of kindness can open doors for the gospel.

Personal Testimonies of God's Faithfulness

What struck me most about my conversation with Judy was the personal testimonies she shared. These weren't just stories of stage performances and international trips; they were raw, honest accounts of how God has worked in their lives through both triumphs and tragedies.

Judy shared about her husband's heart attack at 51 and how God restored him to health and ministry. She spoke of her cousin Debbie's family struggles with illness and loss. And then, with a mixture of pain and hope in her voice, Judy told me about the loss of her 16-year-old daughter, Kayla Joe.

The story of Kayla Joe's passing was heart-wrenching, yet filled with the power of faith. Judy recounted how, even in their deepest grief, they witnessed God's presence in a miraculous way. "That brain-dead child upon that bed began to kick her feet," Judy said, "and she was kicking up dust headed to heaven, and she smiled at us."

This powerful testimony has since touched countless lives, even leading a 9-year-old girl to accept Christ after hearing Kayla Joe's story.

The Power of Surrender

Throughout our conversation, one theme kept emerging: the power of surrendering to God's will. Judy emphasized, "We have to get in His will, we have to seek His face, and know that it's Him doing it. Sometimes He doesn't break the chains exactly like we want them broke, but if we're in His will, then when He breaks the chain, we're ready to walk and go how He's done it."

This message of surrender and trust in God's plan is at the heart of Heaven's Echoes' ministry. It's not just about the music; it's about living out their faith in real, tangible ways.

New Music on the Horizon

Exciting news for fans of Heaven's Echoes: they've just finished recording a new album! Judy shared her enthusiasm about the project: "We pray so much for God to show us... it's been over a year and a half since we've had a new project. We've been praying that God would give us the songs that would minister to the people and bring honor to Him."

The passion in Judy's voice was palpable as she described the "revival in the studio" they experienced while recording. It's clear that this new album is more than just a collection of songs; it's a labor of love and faith.

In Closing

As our interview came to a close, I found myself deeply moved by the ministry of Heaven's Echoes. Their commitment to sharing God's love through music, personal testimonies, and international outreach is truly inspiring.

If you're looking for music that goes beyond entertainment to touch hearts and change lives, I encourage you to check out Heaven's Echoes. Visit their website at HeavensEchoes.net to listen to their music, read more about their ministry, and find out where you can see them live.

And if you're in the Senatobia, Mississippi area, don't miss the chance to see Heaven's Echoes perform live at Solid Rock Church on October 17th at 6:00 PM. It promises to be an evening of powerful music and life-changing ministry.

Remember, as Judy so beautifully put it, "We're created to give God glory, and it's all about God; it's nothing about us." Let's take that message to heart and seek ways to glorify God in our own lives.

Misty Hodges Interview - Gay Pride Outreach Tarrant County

Reaching the Unreachable: A Divine Encounter at Gay Pride

As I sat down for another edition of "Coffee with Conrad," I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. Today's guest was none other than Misty Hodges, a passionate street evangelist whose dedication to spreading the Gospel never ceases to amaze me. You might remember her from our previous interviews about the satanic black mass in Oklahoma City or her experiences in Washington D.C. during the Supreme Court hearings on gay marriage. Misty is truly on the front lines of faith, reaching out to those who might never set foot in a church.

Our conversation today centered around her recent experience evangelizing at the Tarrant County gay pride event. As always, Misty's unwavering commitment to sharing God's love shone through every word she spoke.

The Power of Persistence and Prayer

Misty began by describing how she and a team of about 25 people from various ministries attended the event. Armed with signs displaying Scripture and Gospel tracts, they set out to minister to the LGBTQ+ community and their supporters. What struck me most was the stark contrast between this year's experience and last year's.

"Last year, we faced a lot of harassment from the police," Misty explained. "They tried to prevent us from getting close to the event. We actually had to take them to court, and we won the lawsuit."

This victory paved the way for a completely different atmosphere this time around. The police not only allowed them to minister freely but even defended them when necessary. It's a powerful reminder of how standing firm in our faith and rights can open doors for the Gospel.

Divine Appointments in Unexpected Places

As Misty shared more about their interactions at the event, I was moved by the hunger for truth she encountered, especially among the youth. "At every point, we had around 25 to 30 people gathered around our speakers, listening for long periods," she said. "Towards the end, we had a group of teenagers, probably 16 to 20 years old, who were absolutely captivated by our message."

What these young people craved most, according to Misty, was a sense of purpose and destiny. In a world that often leaves them feeling confused and directionless, the message of God's love and plan for their lives resonated deeply. It's a poignant reminder that beneath the surface of pride events and rainbow flags, there are souls yearning for something more.

Addressing the Heart of the Matter

One of the most powerful aspects of Misty's ministry is her approach to addressing sensitive issues like homosexuality. She emphasized the importance of presenting the truth in love, acknowledging the reality of temptation while offering hope through Christ.

"We talk to them about how it is a sin that they can overcome, about resisting the devil, and how to put that into play as a Christian," Misty explained. "Some of them say they're Christian but don't know what to do because they're having these temptations."

Her words struck a chord with me. In our current cultural climate, where affirming every lifestyle choice is often seen as the only loving response, Misty's approach offers a much-needed balance of truth and grace.

Breaking Stereotypes: The Heart of a Street Preacher

As our conversation continued, we touched on a topic close to my heart: the often-misunderstood nature of street preaching. Media portrayals tend to focus on the most confrontational moments, painting street preachers as hateful or aggressive. Misty's experiences tell a different story.

"The people that I minister with, they tell the truth of what the Bible says," she clarified. "People don't like to be confronted with their sin, so they feel like we're being hateful when we're not. We're only addressing sin and offering the hope of salvation through Jesus."

Misty went on to describe the sacrifices these ministers make, funding their own trips and pouring out their hearts for people they may never see again. It's a powerful testament to the love that drives them – a love that compels them to speak truth, even when it's unpopular.

The Call to Action: Everyday Evangelism

As our interview drew to a close, I asked Misty about the passion that drives her ministry. Her response was both simple and profound: "I started asking the Lord to show me why people do what they do... When I started to see God's perspective of the lost and dying, this holy anger rose up inside of me."

This perspective shift led Misty to a realization that has fueled her ministry ever since: many of the people she encounters at these events will never step foot in a church. If we don't go to them, who will?

Her words challenge me – and I hope they challenge you, too. We don't all need to be street preachers, but we are all called to share the love of Christ. Misty offered some practical advice for those feeling the stirring to evangelize:

1. Look for existing groups in your area that are already doing outreach.

2. Start by pursuing daily divine appointments – be open to sharing your faith in everyday situations.

3. Don't let a lack of knowledge hold you back. Start with what you know, and grow from there.

4. Ask God to give you a heart for the lost and to show you opportunities to share His love.

A Prayer for the Called

We ended our time together with a powerful prayer. Misty asked God to stir the hearts of listeners, to give direction on where to go and who to minister to. She reminded us that the call to "go" isn't just for a select few – it's for all believers.

As I reflect on our conversation, I'm filled with a renewed sense of purpose and urgency. Yes, our culture seems to be sliding further from Biblical values. But as Misty so beautifully demonstrated, God can use willing hearts to make a profound impact.

I want to challenge you, dear reader: How can you step out in faith today? Whether it's striking up a conversation at your local coffee shop or supporting ministries like Misty's, we all have a role to play in sharing the transformative love of Christ.

Roy Burton - A Powerful Testimony of Divine Intervention and Deliverance

A Miracle in Senatobia: Experiencing God's Deliverance

As a spiritual content creator and host of "Coffee with Conrad," I've had the privilege of hearing countless testimonies of God's power and grace. Today, I want to share an extraordinary story of deliverance that touched my heart and reinforced my faith in the supernatural workings of Jesus Christ. This testimony comes from my friend Roy Burton, a man whose passion for God and dedication to spreading His word never fails to inspire me.

The Day Everything Changed

It was a typical Sunday morning when Roy's life took an unexpected turn. As he prepared for church, something inexplicable happened. Roy found himself in a state of complete disorientation, unable to remember even the most basic details of his life. His wife, Judy, noticed his confusion and tried to help, but it quickly became apparent that this was no ordinary lapse in memory.

Roy's recollection of that morning is fragmented, but Judy filled in the gaps. He couldn't remember decorating for Christmas, cutting wood the day before, or even which church they attended. The man who was usually so full of life and spiritual fervor was suddenly lost in his own home, surrounded by familiar faces he couldn't recognize.

A Divine Appointment

As they made their way to Solid Rock Assembly, our church here in Senatobia, Mississippi, Roy's condition didn't improve. Even after prayer from our pastor and church elders, he remained in a state of confusion. It was clear that something more was needed.

What happened next can only be described as a divine appointment. Instead of heading straight to the doctor as Judy suggested, Roy felt compelled to go to a Chinese restaurant first. Little did they know, God had orchestrated a miraculous encounter.

At the restaurant, they met Garry and Nancy Nesbitt, friends involved in deliverance ministry. Garry, prompted by the Holy Spirit, had felt led to visit that specific restaurant that morning, knowing someone would need prayer. This "coincidence" was anything but – it was a clear demonstration of God's perfect timing and supernatural guidance.

The Power of Deliverance

After their meal, Garry took Roy aside and began to minister to him. Through a series of questions and prayers, Garry discerned the spiritual nature of Roy's condition. As they prayed together in the parking lot, invoking the name of Jesus and the power of divine healing, something remarkable happened.

Roy describes the moment with raw emotion: "I could feel whatever was going on with me leave me." The fog lifted, his memory returned, and the oppressive force that had gripped his mind dissipated. In that instant, Roy was delivered and restored.

Reflections on a Miraculous Healing

As I reflect on Roy's testimony, I'm struck by several powerful truths:

1. The reality of spiritual warfare: Roy's experience reminds us that we're engaged in a battle that extends beyond the physical realm. As the Bible says in Ephesians 6:12, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."

2. The importance of discernment: While medical help is often necessary, Roy's story illustrates the need for spiritual discernment. Sometimes, what appears to be a physical or mental issue has spiritual roots that require a different kind of intervention.

3. God's perfect timing: The "chance" encounter with Garry Nesbitt was anything but random. It showcases God's ability to orchestrate events and bring the right people together at the exact moment they're needed.

4. The power of faith and prayer: Roy's immediate healing came through faith in Jesus Christ and the power of prayer. It's a testament to James 5:15, which tells us, "And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up."

Biblical Teachings on Deliverance

Roy's experience aligns perfectly with the biblical model of deliverance ministry. Throughout the Gospels, we see Jesus casting out demons and freeing people from spiritual oppression. In Mark 16:17, Jesus promises His followers, "And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons."

The Apostle Paul also speaks about our authority over spiritual forces in Ephesians 6:10-11: "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes."

These scriptures remind us that as believers, we have been given authority in Christ to confront and overcome spiritual darkness. Roy's testimony is a powerful, modern-day example of this truth in action.

A Call to Action

Roy's story of deliverance has had a profound impact on his life and faith. He shares, "I'm more on fire for him now than I ever was because I know what he can do for you." His experience serves as a catalyst, igniting a deeper passion for God and a desire to see others set free.

As we conclude this powerful testimony, I want to encourage you, my dear readers, to take several steps:

1. Examine your own life: Are there areas where you feel spiritually oppressed or hindered? Don't hesitate to seek help from mature believers or those gifted in deliverance ministry.

2. Cultivate discernment: Ask God for wisdom to distinguish between physical, emotional, and spiritual issues in your life and the lives of those around you.

3. Strengthen your faith: Immerse yourself in God's Word and cultivate a robust prayer life. These are your primary weapons in spiritual warfare.

4. Share your testimony: If you've experienced God's deliverance or healing, don't keep it to yourself. Your story could be the key to someone else's freedom.

5. Stay connected: Join our community at ConradRocks.Net for more inspiring testimonies, teachings, and resources to fuel your spiritual growth.

Remember, as Roy's story illustrates, our God is a God of miracles. He is always ready to intervene, heal, and deliver. All we need to do is reach out in faith and allow Him to work in our lives.
