 Biography-Gene Gee
Gene is a ordained elder in the Church of the Nazarene. He received his education at the Nazarene Bible College in Colorado Springs, Colorado. His pastoral ministry has been in Colorado, Oklahoma and Kansas. Gene has held revivals in Minnesota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas and Oklahoma, and campmeetings in Nebraska have been a blessing to men, women, children of all ages. In one church the man said "I received your letter and something told me to call you, even though I didn't know you." Another letter of recommendation comes from a pastor who called him the "Gentle Giant of a Man ." Gene loves to preach the Word; justification and sanctification as John Wesley taught it. It is Gene's desire to challenge people to look at the Old Testament as well as the New Testament to find Jesus represented in both and the roll of the saved and sanctified lives in both. And it is Gene's belief that everyone can come to Christ no matter what their past may have been like. Just as the words in the song, "I have a peace in my heart that the world never gave, a peace it cannot take away. An everlasting peace, and I know it's there to stay. My heart is bubbling over with the living water, and I'm happy I can say, I'm filled and thrilled with the joy of the Lord since I found the way of holiness.
Saved For A Purpose Helen's Testimony
Being a child that was taken to church by my grandmother and friends I was introduced to Jesus at a very early age. I was shown the awesomeness of God's love and soon that two choices had to be made for my life and eternity. It was during my high school years that I gave my heart to the Lord and learned the lesson: "For God so loved the world that He gave His Only begotten Son that whosoever will should not perish but have everlasting life." I praise God for sending his Son to a desparate world to die on a cross for sins I had commited so that I might live with Him eternally.
Through the rest of my high school and first college years I came upon what many call a 'crisis' period. It was after Gene and I were married that I came to that point again asking God to forgive me for my sins and being sanctified by His Spirit. I turned everything over to Him, my life, my future...my will. God has taken me through some trials and valleys through my life, but He has been faithful even to this day.
God has blessed me incredbly. I often look back on my life and wondered how I could have been so fortunate to have that training in my early years. Proverbs 3:5-6 have been the promise I have stood on in those valleys and trials I have gone through...."Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths. It hasn't always been easy to trust, although when I was weak in that area, God was faithful
I am thankful for such a love in my heart for the Lord and His work. Imperial Valley Holiness Camp near Imperial NE has become a real asset to my life over the last 10+years. I enjoy the fellowship of other Christians and the camp has helped me to be accountable and aided in my spiritual growth. My vision is that it will continue to grown and young people to seniors will be saved and sancified wholly with the Holy Spirit. Check out the web site imperialvalleyholinesscamp.org
."Thank God for saving grace. He saved me. He saved you . Or He will save you. Not because we deserve it. But because it is His plan.Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me; I once was lost but now I'm found twos blind but now I see.If you have never confessed your sins and accepted Christ into you life you can do that now. Prayer : Dear Lord Jesus I know that I am a sinner. My life is not pleasing to God. I confess my sins and ask you to come into my life . Break the chains that bind me and release me to serve God and Him only. Thank you for the price You paid on Calvary. Amen

Heaven is Real Todd Burpo with Lyn Vincent Good Reading and a proven miracle for our time.
check out www.heavensforreal.net Heaven Is for Real is the true story of the four-year old son of a small town Nebraska pastor who during emergency surgery slips from consciousness and enters heaven. He survives and begins talking about being able to look down and see the doctor operating and his dad praying in the waiting room. The family didn't know what to believe but soon the evidence was clear.
Colton said he met his miscarried sister, whom no one had told him about, and his great grandfather who died 30 years before Colton was born, then shared impossible-to-know details about each. He describes the horse that only Jesus could ride, about how "reaaally big" God and his chair are, and how the Holy Spirit "shoots down power" from heaven to help us.
Told by the father, but often in Colton's own words, the disarmingly simple message is heaven is a real place, Jesus really loves children, and be ready, there is a coming last battle.
