Pastor's Victory Report

Subject: Thank you for your prayers for 22 years.

Friends and Family,

I am humbled and excited to share with you what the doctors said, "was impossible". As you all know I have battled an illness for many years and His grace has always been sufficient.  However on Christmas Eve Dec. 24, 2006, I was raced by ambulance to Community North hospital where I was greeted with help for the extreme pain I was under. The doctor simply relayed the message in a very short way by saying you have a colon that must come out or cancer will over take your body within six months. I know that the pictures are graphic. However I am pressed to share with you, my friends and prayer partners, our God's intervention.

To quickly tell this incredible miracle, let me simply say that the doctor said six months and cancer, but the Great Physician had another report that said in six months you are healed. I share this to the glory of God. For twenty two years I battled for my very life at times, as most of you know; however today I must shout victory over death, hell and the grave. My family and I want to thank you for all of the support you have given. What a great family to belong to . . . the family of God. Please share this miracle with anyone you care to, for the doctors have no cure for Crohn's patients, so only God can receive any of the Glory.

To let you know what the Lord can do right in the middle of some of the greatest spiritual battles we have ever faced. I am without words to express how our God has worked His deeds. At Family Praise Center, where we have been privileged to pastor over the last sixteen years, we have seen 990 Holy Ghost receptions through FPC ministries from an anointed, miracle believing group of people since January 1, 2007.

The Lord has added eight evangelistic teams who go out weekly. We see revival in the home church and throughout our fellowship alike. Everyone I ask of late seems to be reporting this great outpour in their assembly as well. What a wonderful fellowship we share when your body, your church assembly, is blessed and grows the kingdom of heaven. May God continue to grant favor to every minister of the gospel in these uncertain times. All of our prayer and fasting, joined by faith in the almighty, compounds our efforts together into God's end time revival generation. These signs shall follow them that believe...To all of our churches and God's people the best is yet to come!

Be Blessed,
Pastor Norm Chaudion

Doctor's Findings 08/31/2007   (warning ... pictures are graphic!)

----------

For the past twenty years, our pastor, Norman F. Chaudion, has suffered from an advanced case of Crohn’s disease. During the latter part of 2006, his body relapsed and he spent both Thanksgiving and Christmas in the hospital and near death. Remarkably, and it is no less than a miracle, he is now recovering but has amassed staggering medical bills and must continue the battle against Crohn’s disease with aggressive treatments that may cost $5,000 or more each.

As a result of the tremendous outpouring of love and support for this family, a benefit concert is being planned to assist the family in offsetting the continuing medical costs. Because Pastor Chaudion is an avid guitarist, an idea was birthed by his friends in the ministry to bring together several gifted Pentecostal guitarists from across the country to participate in this concert to benefit the family. Invitations are already being sent and at least three guitarists have committed to play; Gary Harding (CA), Greg McCool (TX), Larry Carter (MO). Local guitarists are also being invited to participate.

Gospel Guitar Jam will be held in Noblesville, Indiana (north suburban Indianapolis) and a website promoting the event has been established at http://www.gospelguitarjam.com. The evening will feature each guitarist in a 20-30 minute set, followed by an intermission and a homecoming-style conclusion featuring local guitarists and Pastor Chaudion.

Because of limited seating at the church, tickets are required to be admitted to the event. Only one show is planned and ticket prices are $15 for adults and $10 for children under 13. All seats are reserved and tickets will go on sale May 7, 2007 on a first come-first served basis.

Donations are being solicited for transportation and accommodation expenses for the performers and the out-of-town hosts for the event. FPC is also seeking the donation of a vintage guitar for auction during an intermission at the concert. The guitar will be signed by all of the performers at the event and proceeds will directly benefit the Norman F. Chaudion family.
