Greetings!
Porch

Our work seems never to be done at Miracle Valley, even though we have been here some six years. Special friends, our staff and myself have taken on the responsiblity of trying to restore the 15 buildings which have had very little maintenance for the past thirty years. Nevertheless, we are making progress, although it is sometimes slow due to the fact there is much work to be done at Miracle Valley.

I recall the time when James Allen (oldest son of Rev. A. A. Allen) came by for a visit at Miracle Valley. He told me that he was very upset to see the deplorable condition that existed at Miracle Valley. His father and mother's hard work had been neglected for so many years. I will never forget how I responded to him (And by the way, James looked so much like his father, Rev. A. A. Allen, that had he not been wearing shorts that day, a person could have thought that it was indeed A. A. Allen in person).

"James, I believe that God allowed Miracle Valley to go down so it would be affordable for our ministry to obtain it. Had Miracle Valley been maintained as such, no doubt it would have costs millions of dollars, and we would never had been able to purchase it."

Most of the existing structures at Miracle Valley already have porches just like this one. Brother A. A. Allen had porches constructed to the buildings, allowing plenty of shade area during the bright sunny days.

The above classroom building was constructed by Brother Allen where he established his Miracle Valley Elementary and High School programs. Students had their classes in this building. A playground was adjacent to it. Miracle Valley impacted everyone's lives. We have never had one person to tell us anything negative regarding their stay at Miracle Valley.

David Parsons of Salinas, California came by to visit Miracle Valley a few years ago. He informed us that Miracle Valley had literally saved his life. He was Treasurer of the Freshmen Class of 1960, along with Ruth Ann Bell (Secretary), Shirley Compton (President) and Danny Stutzman (Vice-President).

Dave has now been a high school coach for 35 years. He obtained both his Bachelor and Master's degree. Although 45 years have transpired, Dave made a special effort to return to Miracle Valley because he wanted to come back to a place that had literally saved his life. Dave said that if it were not for his life being changed at Miracle Valley, he would never had been successful in life. He credited his total success in life to his being at Miracle Valley.

Here is a close-up of an existing porch to one of the buildings. It comprises of a concrete floor, brick pillars, and a roof that attaches to the existing roof of the building. We are sure that any carpenter and concrete man can build this porch very easily.

Miracle Valley is required to have a porch built onto its childcare center. We are in dire need of a concrete patio 10' wide and 36' long. If you can help us, (or know of someone who can), we would certainly appreciate it. We are believing God that all materials will be provided.

We are extremely pressed for time, so if any carpenter and concrete worker can work it out in their schedule to come to Miracle Valley asap, we would certainly appreciate it. We know that God has someone out there who can and will help us with this project.

Here is the back of the childcare building. As you see, we had to install two new exterior doors. This allows children to exit the facility should the need arise.

This was the last building constructed at Miracle Valley by Rev. A. A. Allen. It was Brother Allen's Sunday School building, however, he did not build a porch on it, so now that responsibility is passed on to us.

Once we get our porch constructed, along with sidewalks on each side as well as our metal roof put on the top (we already have the metal roofing material on site, ready to be put on the building), we will be able to obtain our State License from Arizona to open the Miracle Valley Childcare Center.

This childcare center will enable Miracle Valley to reach preschoolers in our local community for Christ; it will help us raise the necessary monies to fund Miracle Valley and guarantee that Miracle Valley will be an on-going ministry; and, it will enable Bible College students to understand childcare ministry so they will have the opportunity to have a childcare center in their local ministries.

WILL YOU HELP US? The weather is beautiful at Miracle Valley and the sun shines nearly all the time. It would be a wonderful opportunity to get out of the snow and the cold. You can fly into Tucson and we will pick you up at the airport. You will be greatly blessed.

If you are not a professional carpenter but would still like to come, please do so. We need all the laborers we can get. Call us immediately for further information. We will provide our guests with room & board. Additional time will be available to tour the area. You will have a wonderful time, GUARANTEED!

RECENTLY, AS IT HAS BEEN MANY TIMES IN THE PAST, IT APPEARED AS THOUGH IT WAS TRULY OVER FOR US AT MIRACLE VALLEY. THERE WAS NOTHING TO DO BUT PRAY AND TRUST GOD.

HOWEVER, THE LORD SPOKE TO A MAN OUT IN CALIFORNIA WHOM WE HAD NEVER MET. HE HAD NEVER BEEN TO MIRACLE VALLEY AND REALLY DID NOT KNOW WHERE IT WAS LOCATED. BUT HE HAD BEEN IMPACTED BY REV. A. A. ALLEN IN A TENT MEETING HE HAD ATTENDED AS A CHILD.

HE SAID GOD TOLD HIM TO HELP US. HE WIRED $100,000 TO THE BANK, THUS RESULTING IN OUR NOT LOSING THE MIRACLE VALLEY PROPERTY.

PRAISE GOD! GOD DELIVERS AGAIN! WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR US, HE WILL DO FOR YOU AS WELL. ONLY BELIEVE AND TRUST IN HIM WITH ALL YOUR HEART.

NEVERTHELESS, WE STILL HAD TO MAKE OUR JANUARY PAYMENTS OF OVER $13,000, OR ITS AMOUNT WOULD ESCALATE QUICKLY. A GENTLEMAN VISITING US THIS WEEKEND WROTE A CHECK PAYING OUR ENTIRE PAYMENT FOR THE MONTH OF JANUARY.

PRAISE GOD! THIS IS A MIRACLE. GOD IS STANDING BY OUR SIDE AND WILL NOT FAIL US. MIRACLE VALLEY IS IN THE PLAN OF GOD FOR THIS GENERATION. PLEASE COME AND JOIN US IN RESTORING MIRACLE VALLEY.

A FEW YEARS AGO, A WOMAN CAME TO MIRACLE VALLEY AND PROPHESIED SAYING, "WHEN MY TABERNACLE IS RESTORED, I WILL RESTORE MY GLORY." I'M BELIEVING GOD. WILL YOU BELIEVE GOD WITH ME?

I HOPE YOU WILL COME AND HELP US. SISTER HARTER AND I LOOK HARTER FORWARD TO MEETING YOU AND HAVING YOU AS OUR GUESTS.

God bless everyone of you,
Dr. Melvin Harter
