Many people who live on the campus at Miracle Valley are experiencing some wonderful things.
 
Many have shared with Sister Harter & me that they are dreaming dreams where they see the Bible College campus full of students.
 
However, the students they see are not all Americans.  They say they see students enrolled at Miracle Valley Bible College that are from nearly every nation of the world.
 
There are Asians, Africans, Europeans, Mexicans, and those from the Islands of the Sea.  It is the most amazing thing they have ever seen.
 
Not only are they dreaming of students coming to Miracle Valley from all over the world, but they are also dreaming about large greyhound buses that come to Miracle Valley, and when the people get off of the buses, they notice that these people are sick, diseased, and crippled.
 
However, the moment the people get off their bus, and their feet touch the ground here at Miracle Valley, the people are immediately healed of whatever sickness they had.
 
As the people are being healed by the power of God, they began to shout and praise God as they go into the Tabernacle.
 
They see literally thousands of people coming to Miracle Valley and getting their miracles.
 
You may say that is foolish and not believe a word of it. However, TIME ALWAYS TELLS THE STORY!
 
So I guess we will all have to wait and see what God has planned for Miracle Valley.
 
Some years ago now, I recall reading on the internet while doing some research regarding Miracle Valley.  These words were placed boldly on a particular web site, "WE ARE HERE TO STOP WHAT GOD HAS PLANNED FOR MIRACLE VALLEY."
 
I thought, "Who are they that can stop God?" God laughs at such statements.
 
Friends, God is getting ready to do something marvelous at Miracle Valley and I know that you want to be a part of it.
 
Pray about what God would have you to do.
People Are Coming to MIRACLE VALLEY
 
DAN & DIANNE BINNER will arrive at Miracle Valley on June 12. They are from Lancaster, Ohio. The Binners plan to spend two weeks and pray about relocating to Miracle Valley to help Dr. & Mrs. Harter.  They visited Miracle Valley several times in the past, but they can't get Miracle Valley out of their hearts. 
 
JEFF & KIMBERLY ALLEN of Tyler, TX have resigned from the R. W. Schambach Ministries where they have worked for the past six years and are relocating to Miracle Valley. They plan to arrive around June 11.
 
Jeff is a grandson of Rev. A. A. Allen and has a real burden to see his grandpa's place restored.
 
Rev. R. W. Schambach has given Jeff and Kimberly his blessings, knowing they will be helping to restore Miracle Valley.
 
Rev. Schambach has indicated he would like to return to Miracle Valley someday and preach again in the Tabernacle.
 
CYNDI writes from Canada and says, "I'm extremely homesick for the place I was in a week ago. There is not a day goes by that I don't feel the ache of desire to be back there with you. If God willing, and if you'll have me, I still wish to be there with you. I know there is work there that I'm able to help with and lives to touch. I know I can help both of you bring others to Christ."
 
JAMES DALTON of Middletown, Ohio recently wrote, "I have a great in being a part of your college. I have been called to be an Evangelist. Because I was not raised in Church, I need further education. And when I began to pray about this, I believe the Lord has led me to seek out MVBC&S."  
 
Is God is calling you to Miracle Valley? Why not contact us today?
From an Alumni

I am sure you can imagine the range of emotions and memories that flood into those of us who made the "historic" trip back to Miracle Valley. 50 years have passed but the connection to the experience and people remain.
 
I'm sure the many who sacrificed to make Brother Allen's vision a reality would be blessed to see the "Fruit that has increased." We share a life experience that will never be forgotten.
 
I pray the Lord will continue to fulfill His plan through you and those called to provide for another harvest.
 
I do pray that the Lord will bless you and the work that is in your heart. He must have the workers and provision in mind and in route. I trust they will come soon for you and those called to work along side you and the work set before you.
 Dr. Melvin HarterFrom Dr. Harter
Throughout 2008, we are celebrating the YEAR OF JUBILEE (50th Year) of MIRACLE VALLEY.
 
God is not finished with Miracle Valley. There remains a work here to be done for the glory of God.
 
I wanted to share in this email information taken from a little pamphlet written by A. A. Allen entitled, THE MIRACLE OF MIRACLE VALLEY.
 
I noticed a few things in it that I believe is important to mention to you.
 
First of all, Allen states that from MIRACLE VALLEY thousands of people will to throughout the world with the gospel and that this will continue UNTIL the Lord returns for His Church.
 
Well, Jesus has not come yet, so Miracle Valley must carry on with what God has called it to do and that is, training others for the ministry.
 
Secondly, Allen writes that those who standby and help MIRACLE VALLEY with their finances and labor, God is going to pour out His blessings upon them. Praise God!
 
I encourage you to do your best to pray for MIRACLE VALLEY and stand with us with your financial support as we press on in the restoration of Miracle Valley.

MV Anniversary50th ANNIVERSARY
Fifty years ago...is when it all started...
 
"WE DID NOT KNOW what great things God had in store for us - when we announced our Second Great International Miracle Revival Training Camp and Solemn Assembly in Phoenix, Arizona.
 
How quickly was shown us that He always does exceedingly abundantly, above all that we ever ask, or even think. Again I say, when we spent that month, January 1958, in fasting and prayer - when we held the all-night prayer meetings in Phoenix, we had no idea what Great Things our precious  omniscient (all knowing), and omnipotent (almighty, all powerful) God had planned for us in Arizona.
 
We had endeavored, with all our might, to call America, and the world, back to the faith one delivered to the saints - a firm belief in the Supernatural, miraculous power of Jesus Christ. I have continually preached to the people, both under our Gospel "big-top" (tent) and over the air, by radio and television That our God lives - and that He still performs miracles - Today!"
 MV CakeMIRACLE VALLEY CAKE - CELEBRATES 50 YEARS
"Little did we know; however, the Great Miracle He was, at that time, preparing for us - Miracle Valley Training Center!
 
From this center will go many thousands - in the years ahead (if Jesus tarries) - to take His Mighty Gospel of Power - Deliverance and Miracles - to all the world, now staggering under heavy burden of sin, sickness and demon power.
 truckALUMNI BANQUET IN MIRACLE VALLEY CAFETERIA
"About 160 had come at 8:30 a.m. to pray. At the close of that prayer meeting, I felt led to have them all stand and pray for something that had been on my heart for three years. I said, "for some time now, I have felt the Lord wanted us to open a great place where people, old and young alike, with the call of God upon their lives, could come for either a short term or longer periods of training; a Center that will instruct, prepare and equip them and be instrumental in thrusting them forth or sending them out into the fields which can only be reaped with a 'miracle' sword!
 
This will not be just another Bible School. There are enough seminaries already that spend most of their class periods discussing and discoursing about what God is no longer doing.
 
Immediately, through prophecy, God began to speak and declare that such a place was in His mind, and that it would become a reality in this meeting. God spoke further of how His blessing would be upon the school and that He had selected the place, Himself, and would prosper and bless all who would give and help make its success possible."
 UrbaneURBANE LEIENDECKER WALKING DOWN RAMP
Four years before this day, this young rancher, Urbane Leiendecker (Romans 16:9), drove into his driveway in a pick-up truck. He had just returned from church where he had been filled with the Holy Ghost and, as he sat there enjoying the presence of the Lord and the beauty of the night, A VOICE SPOKE SAYING, "SON, FROM THIS PLACE THE GOSPEL SHALL GO OUT TO ALL THE WORLD. AS THE STARS IN NUMBER ABOVE YOU, SO SHALL BE THE NUMBER TO THEM WHO WILL GO FROM THIS VALLEY TO THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH - WITH WONDERS, SIGNS AND WONDERS. LO! FROM THE FAR AWAY PLACES THEY SHALL COME TO THIS VALLEY TO BE INSTRUCTED AND TAUGHT OF MY WAY; AND FROM HERE THEY SHALL GO TAKE THE WORLD MY DELIVERANCE!"
 
Two years from that night, while Brother Leiendecker was attending one of our earlier tent revivals in Phoenix, God spoke to him again and told him, "I want you to give this ranch to Brother Allen for My glory."
 
Not knowing God's plan and that God had laid on my heart the desire to build a great training center for ministers and Christian workers, Mr. Leiendecker could not understand what we would do with the acreage, or how we could use the large 1,280 acre ranch. He tried to sell the ranch, thinking that perhaps it was God's will for him to so dispose of it and send the money to us to use for our revival campaigns, in the furtherance of the Gospel.
 
One time it seemed certain that he would sell the ranch but, as the buyer started to sign the papers, he lost his eyesight and knew that it was God's hand against the transaction. Therefore, Brother Leiendecker waited until after all of us had prayed in that first prayer meeting under the prayer tent; then, being moved by the Spirit, he came to me and said, "Brother Allen, God told me to give you my ranch to build that Training Center on."
 MariaSISTER MARIA LEAVES TO EVANGELIZE EUROPE
"Miracle Valley Training Center where thousands can come to be instructed, prepared and equipped to be sent forth into the already whitened harvest fields, which will only be reaped with a "Miracle" sickle!
 
Graduates from the Bible school are now carrying Miracle Revival with signs following in Mexico, Canada, Africa, Jamaica, and the Islands of the Sea. Many of them are conducting Miracle Revivals in the continental United States while a number of others are ministering to the American Indians on various reservations."
 
EDITH MARIA RICHTER, commonly known to everyone as "SISTER MARIA" at 88 years young, continues her evangelistic ministry. She was at Miracle Valley and trained under the Allen ministry. She is a strong believer in A. A. Allen and Miracle Valley. She has literally spent her entire life traveling by herself into more than 30 countries of the world, preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ and praying with people.  During her lifetime, she has personally met with Kings and Presidents of various nations, as well as a personal meeting with the Pope himself of the Roman Catholic Church in Rome, Italy. On each occasion, she tells them that Jesus Christ still saves, delivers from sin and performs the miraculous.
 
Each year from May through October, Sister Maria continues to travel alone to various parts of the world by herself, singing and telling others about Jesus Christ. She believes in miracles, signs and wonders.

We need a Donation of $20,000 to help us finish the roof structure on the north side of the Tabernacle. Friends, we really need to have this done before the monsoons arrive.

We must have Miracle Valley refinanced very soon.  Please pray with us that God will either have someone to donate these funds or have a loan company grant a loan to us.
 
But nevertheless, Dr. Harter still believes God for this special miracle for Miracle Valley. Will you join him?
Friends,
Dr. & Mrs. Harter are classical Pentecostals. They have been full-time in the ministry since they were married in June 1969.  They believe in being "Born Again", in holiness and sanctification (as a second definite work of grace), in the Baptism of the Holy Ghost (speaking in other tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance), in divine healing and miracles, signs and wonders.
 
Those who join the Harters at Miracle Valley are expected to live a clean holy life and strive to be Christ-like in their daily life.  Miracle Valley is a place designed for children of God who hunger and thirst after the things of God. It is expected that everyone who desires to relocate to Miracle Valley will support the Harters in their work for God.
