janaldridgeKeynote Speaker -- Jan Aldridge

She has an amazing testimony of being healed from a rare and embarrassing birth defect that made it nearly impossible for her to breathe or eat. You will be blessed, challenged and changed as you experience the dynamic ministry of this chosen servant of God who is in great demand worldwide.

Quotes from leaders who have hosted Jan Aldridge:

“Jan allows God to use her as an agent of change and healing, and her messages bring life to those who hear her. She is a rare find…”   
--Senior Pastors Dale & Angela Donadio, River of Life Worship Center, Spotsylvania, VA

 “Jan has played a very important role in our work as we have invited her time and again to be part of our camp meetings, women’s retreats and special conferences. Her ability to preach the Word of God and then minister with confirming faith is indeed amazing.”
 --Tim Hill, lst Assistant General Overseer/Church of God, Cleveland, TN 

“Jan’s giftedness makes her effective not only in teaching and preaching, but also in one-on-one ministry….”
--Senior Pastor Tim Oldfield, The Potter’s House, Columbus, OH 

“As she proficiently illuminates God’s Word, blind eyes are indeed opened to the Truth. Don’t be distracted by her humor. At any moment you will find yourself laughing and the very next, calling on God for His forgiveness…”
--Dr. Marion Spellman, Founding President & CEO/Penial, Johnstown, PA 

“We had the awesome opportunity to hear Jan minister at our annual conference ladies luncheon. She truly is an anointed woman of God and her testimony is so powerful! She not only spent time ministering through the Word, but took out time to pray with many hurting women.” 
--Perry & Pam Stone, Voice of Evangelism, Cleveland, TN

Salem Family Ministries March 10-12th

E-mail PDF

 Harry and Cheryl Salem are ministers of the Gospel. Parents to sons, Harry III and Roman, they also have a daughter in heaven. Gabrielle Christian passed away in 1999 at the age of six. This tragedy brought the family closer together, and the Lord began to use Harry and Cheryl to minister hope and restoration to other families in grief.

God has restored the Salem family and because of His mighty anointing, the altars have been flooded with people receiving salvation, with countless re-dedications, with miraculous healings and with bodies, lives, marriages and souls being restored!
