This ministry consists of James and Jennifer Lang (read
our About James & Jennifer page for more details.) We sold our place in the
city and bought a small piece of land in some woods in the foothills of the
Ozarks. This is where we want to begin our ministry together, in our retirement years.
We are presently living off-grid in the woods in a fifth-wheel. We are working on an adobe cabin as we are able, but it's taken longer than we hoped it would. Once we get our home base in order, our plan is to begin evangelizing in this
area, and to farther away places as we can get to them. Our evangelism includes
anointed music, preaching the word, feeding the hungry, seeing people saved,
healed, and delivered through the power of the Name of Yahushuwa. We also will re-start filming another show that has been on hold for a few years, that replaces 'This
Land", which has been off the air for several years. The new show, called
"The Mud People" is on our Youtube channel.
This ministry is about getting people saved, healed, and delivered out of
darkness, and teaching them how to stay saved, healed and in the light after they get born-again. We try
to keep the gospel as simple as we can, yet include the important things that
most ministries leave out, such as the commandments in both Old and New
Testaments that apply to believers today, because once you give your life to
the Messiah, you are instructed in the Scriptures BY the Messiah, to "Go
and sin NO MORE" - and that means that you must begin to study the
Scriptures to learn what sin is, so that you can stop doing it. Since 1 John
3:4 gives the definition of sin as violation of the commandments
("Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the
transgression of the law") then you must learn what the commandments are,
so that you can start obeying them and stop violating them. This ministry is
about helping people to understand and apply this information.
James is an evangelist/prophet and music minister, and has been told by several people that he is an apostle. I, Jennifer, am a
worship leader/psalmist and teacher. We believe in the gifts and ministries of
the Holy Spirit, including healing, casting out demons, raising the dead,
speaking and/or praying in tongues given by the Holy Spirit, and we operate in
these gifts as the Holy Spirit leads us. We have both seen people healed
supernaturally by the gift of healing, and James has even raised a dead man. We
believe that once we get this ministry going and start evangelizing, we will
see miracles like this again. We can do nothing outside of Yahushuwa in us,
but His Word says that signs and wonders will follow those who believe, so we
expect the Word of Yahuwah to be confirmed with miracles to follow as we
minister. Mark 16:20 "And they went forth, and preached every where, the
Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen."
We want to go out and evangelize, with praise and worship music, preaching, prayer, teaching, and food to distribute to the people who need it. We've taken a break from preaching and evangelizing so that we can get our home front set up and stabilized, but we are chomping at the bit to start ministering again, and when Yahuwah tells us it's time to start, then we will. See an example of one of our small outreaches, where we served a hot meal, had music and preaching, and prayer for the sick:
"Outreach in Tulsa, OK prt 1" (music)
"Outreach
in Tulsa, OK" prt 2 (guy in wheelchair healed)
Below is from when James preached in a local congregation and this young girl,
Victoria, was healed of severe scoliosis. I had known her family for several
years, and her back was obviously curved in an 'S' shape until this day in
2010, when Yahuwah healed her. Her back was straightened instantly. James
didn't even pray for her. She was healed before he got to her! Praise Yahuwah!
This is the direction we want to go once again.
"This precious girl remains healed of severe scoliosis, to this day, 12 years later"
John 21:16 instructs us that if we love Yahushuwa, we are to feed His sheep (his
followers), and we believe this means both physical food and spiritual and
emotional food. Many ministries will say to the poor "I'll pray that you
stay warm and get enough to eat" but they won't actually provide food and
clothing for you! Quite a few believers have said that to us as we've struggled
out here in the woods with limited income, and we know that some of them are
struggling like us, but we also know that some of them have plenty of money,
yet they've never offered to help us, even though they know we are evangelists
working on building up this ministry, and even though they know we have been
lacking because of getting cheated of funds as we prepared to come out here.
It's way more common that you'd expect! (More unbelievers have helped us than fellow believers!)
This violates James 2:15-17 "If a brother or
sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them,
Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not
those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? Even so faith,
if it hath not works, is dead, being alone." Many believers are hungry for
life sustaining food, and many are also starving for spiritual food (the Word
of Yahuwah) and emotional food (the knowledge and tools to help them think
healthy thoughts and live healthy lifestyles). We do not want to be guilty of
James 2:15-17, but we instead want to be part of the solution, at least for the
people whom are close enough that we can reach them with the physical food, and
through the Internet we hope to reach many throughout the world with the
spiritual and emotional food. Here are a couple of Scriptures to make you think
- these make it clear that we are not to just help 'fellow believers'
(brothers), but we are to help the strangers as well:
Matthew 25:31-46 "When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the
holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And
before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from
another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the
sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say
unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom
prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye
gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye
took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in
prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord,
when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or
when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall
answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it
unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall
he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into
everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was an hungred,
and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a
stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in
prison, and ye visited me not. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord,
when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or
in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying,
Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these,
ye did it not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but
the righteous into life eternal."
Isaiah 58:6-14 "Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the
bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go
free, and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry,
and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest
the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own
flesh? Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall
spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of
Yahuwah shall be thy reward. Then shalt thou call, and Yahuwah shall answer;
thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst
of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity; And if
thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then
shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day: And Yahuwah shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make
fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of
water, whose waters fail not. And they that shall be of thee shall build the
old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and
thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to
dwell in. If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure
on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of Yahuwah,
honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine
own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Then shalt thou delight thyself in Yahuwah; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and
feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of Yahuwah hath
spoken it."
Mark 16:14-19 "Afterward he (Yahushuwa) appeared unto the eleven as they
sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart,
because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. And he
said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every
creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that
believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe;
In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They
shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt
them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then after
Yahushuwa had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the
right hand of Yahuwah."
