Born in 1870 in Ontario, Canada, John G. Lake fought hard to survive a sorrowful childhood and make a material success of his life. Then, at the age of 37 he gave up all he had-some report he gave up millions-to seek God's divine purpose in his life. Within a year, Lake and his family ventured to Africa, bringing a storm of God's supernatural healing power. After five years, he left the African ministry he began, leaving a heritage of more than 1,000 preachers, 100,000 converts and countless miracles. He then returned to the state of Washington with a stronger faith in Christ and mightier anointing of God's healing power.

Shortly thereafter, Lake's Divine Healing Institute made Spokane, Washington-as documented by the United States Government- "...the healthiest city in the world...." He went on to establish 40 churches in the United States and Canada.

Lake's spiritual legacy influenced many healing evangelists of his time. His life and words continue to be a guide to many Christian leaders today.

Not A Machine

I was visiting with a gentleman who had a grouch on me. He said, "I wrote you a 24 page letter, and you have not received it. If you had, you would not be here."I laughed. That man has been a Christian for 30 or 40 years, always a devout man, and I have spoken of...

The Resurrection

Christianity through Jesus Christ stepped into the arena of world religions as a challenger. The Son of God, just as the ancient athlete did, threw down His gauntlet on the ground and challenged the religions of the world to take it up. Heaven's challenge still...
