Over the years I’ve been blessed to hear and record many awesome missionary stories that demonstrate the miracle power of a prophetic word from God. This is one of them.  
                I invite you, dear reader, to delight in God’s faithfulness to answer prayer in this account of Elvio Canavesio’s grandparents who migrated to Argentina from the Swiss Alps, and his mother’s prophetic prayer about her son when he was just a lad.  – Frank Tunstall
 
“LET THIS BOY BE YOUR MESSENGER!”
By Elvio Canavesio as told to Frank Tunstall
Adapted from the Simultaneous Principle, a History of World Missions Ministries

     My grandparents went from the Swiss Alps in northern Italy to Argentina in the late 1800s, expecting to find gold in the streets. All they found was dust. They settled in the western
pampas [plains] of Cordoba. Being Italian, they were all Catholics, but mostly just in name.
     When I was born in 1931, there was only one Bible in our town and it was in Latin. The priests alone could read it, and they did it at mass and sang it in Latin. Our people never knew the good news of the Gospel.
      My mother confessed her sins to the priest, prayed to the saints, and repeated the rosary. She told me it was to no avail. She carried the burden of her sins, longing to receive forgiveness, but freedom never came. One day she reached a desperate decision: she would pray to the walls of her bedroom. She thought maybe God was in the walls.
     From then on, every day she would pray to the walls: “God, if you are in the walls of this bedroom, please; hear my prayer; bring me your salvation!”
     One hot summer night my family was sitting on the sidewalk of our home, drinking tea, when from half a block away we heard the beautiful sounds of organ music. My mother shouted: “The walls, the walls have answered my prayers!” The Spirit of the Lord came over her and she asked my father if she could go there and stand in the corner under a eucalyptus tree.
     When she arrived, she saw two young men. They were missionaries. The blond-haired, blue-eyed preacher was standing with a Bible in his hand. He said: “The Lord has sent us here to proclaim to you the good news of the Gospel. Jesus loves you and died for you. If you open your heart, He will come in and give you the gift of eternal life!”
     That was the answer! She felt the witness of the Spirit. She was saved, electrified, glorified, the 220-volt job! What a supernatural experience! Soon we opened our home for these preachers to hold services. I remember I was only 5 years old, barely as tall as the dining room table. I watched the preacher open the Bible and heard him preach the Gospel.
     The wonderful God of Isaiah 41:17 had moved across the world and reached to the city of Chicago, Illinois: “The poor and needy search for water, but there is none… I the Lord will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.” The Holy Spirit called a young man, originally from Norway, to come and bring the Good News of the Gospel to my mother who was crying out to the walls of her bedroom.
     Erling Andresen was his name. He was a disciple of the famous Pastor Thomas Barratt, minister of the Philadelphia Church in Oslo, Norway, who had gone to Azusa Street in 1906. He received the Pentecostal baptism with and in the Holy Ghost there (John 14:17), and took the message of Pentecost to Norway and Sweden, and then across Europe.
     My mother was overwhelmed with her new salvation, and in good Catholic tradition, she wanted to give God something to show her love for Him. But she was so poor. One day during her devotional time in her bedroom she felt the desire intensify. Mother felt compelled to give something to God.
      I was playing outside the house. Suddenly she came out of the house and straight to where I was. She grabbed me by the hand, brought me in, stood me on top of the bed, and laid her hand on me. She said, “Lord, I have nothing to give you. We are so poor, but I’m going to give you someone who is alive. I give you my son. Use him, Lord, for the many thousands out there lost and crying for you. Let this boy be your messenger of the Good News!”
     Some years later, a young man invited me to go to the Pentecostal church in my town of Leones. There was a small group of young people from Rio Tercero, a city some 200 miles west of town. That night I went. After the service, the young preacher of that group, Lindolfo Calvino, came and asked me if I would give my heart to the Lord. That was February 21, 1946. I said, “Yes!”
We fell on our knees, and that night I met the Savior.
     When I got up, I felt as if I were a feather. The burden had been rolled away, and I was possessed with a joy unspeakable and full of glory!
     I began to have a burning desire to preach. I bought as many books as my money would let me and devoured them.
     During that year, a group of young people came to visit our little church. It was a cold winter night in August. [The seasons are reversed in the southern hemisphere.] We had the regular service. At the end, the young preacher asked a few of us if we could tarry a little longer and pray. I decided to stay. He said: “We’ll ask the Lord for the promise of the Holy Spirit.”
     We prayed from 10 p.m. to almost midnight. All of a sudden, one of the young men burst into a new tongue. I raised my hand and said, “I want the same Lord!”
     The power fell on me with such force that I exploded into another language. It came from inside me. I could not stop speaking in tongues. Finally, because it was so late they encouraged me to leave the church and go home. I went through the city speaking in tongues and glorifying God. After that, every time I prayed, a burst of divine electricity went through my body.
     My first sermon was a few months later, on the thirteenth day of December in 1946.
     In 1950 the Lord spoke to me and told me to leave everything and go to a Bible school in the City of La Plata, some three hundred miles east. I went. While studying there, I met a beautiful young lady by the name of Emma Karen. We became more and more attracted to each other. There was one hitch—she was the daughter of Erling Andresen, and the social code at the time did not allow a missionary’s child to marry a national.  
     Seven years later a wonderful miracle happened. Erling Andresen, who had brought the Gospel to my family all the way from Norway, via Chicago, gave me his daughter Emma Karen in marriage—in 1957!
     The sovereign ways of the Lord are truly past finding out.

     Elvio and Emma Canavesio enjoyed a thirty year marriage. Emma was promoted to heaven on August 4, 1987, after developing a brain tumor. Their two children, Esther and David, continue to serve faithfully in the church in Oklahoma City.
     Elvio married June Carter on May 14, 1988, in a beautiful ceremony at her home church in Roanoke, Virginia.
     Elvio gave forty-nine years as an IPHC missionary. He became the first IPHC Continental Director of South and Central America and the Caribbean in 1972, and continued in that role until his retirement. June too has given forty five years as a missionary, serving in both Mexico and in Argentina. To June goes much of the credit for developing and popularizing the CURSUM teaching program that continues to train future national leaders for ministry all across the Hispanic world. 
     Elvio and June retired on June 30, 1999, and are living in their golden years in Oklahoma City. Their phone number is 405-495-1340.

     A faithful subscriber to Hugh's News shared the ceremony to the fallen comrades with her pastor and he used it in the service last Sunday, Memorial Day Sunday with great appreciation from the members of his congregation.
     She expressed her gratitude for my suggesting it, as well as thanking me for the narration and description of each part of the ceremony.  Her pastor was able to present the ceremony in a very powerful and moving way.
     She reported that they had new people present and they were amazed that the service focused on remembering our military men and women.  "It was a fitting tribute," she said.

​[Editor's comment: It is so rewarding for me, the editor of Hugh's News, to learn that people are using the ceremonies for our military on special occasions like Memorial Day, Veteran's Day, Fourth of July,  etc. that I freely share with the readers of Hugh's News.  It takes planning and the cooperation of pastors and lay leaders. The rewards are far reaching and reminds our people of our men and women who served in the Armed Forces of the United States of America.]

 In English a double negative forms a positive. However, in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative remains a negative. But there isn't a single language, not one, in which a double positive can express a negative. Yeah, right.

     Recovery from a significant stroke is "unlikely" for TBN co-founder Jan Crouch, Christian recording artist Carman posted on his Facebook page Saturday. Crouch, 78, has been hospitalized since Wednesday in Orlando, Florida.
     "The official word is out ... and after careful medical evaluation recovery of any kind is unlikely," Carman's Facebook post read. 
     The TBN family has been asking for miracle healing prayers for the Christian media pioneer since her hospitalization.
     The Crouch's oldest son, Paul Jr., made this post on Facebook: "Please bombard heaven for my mother, Jan Crouch. She's in the hospital in Orlando and needs a miracle."
     The Crouch's younger son, Matt, posted this on TBN's Facebook page Saturday: "Thank you for joining your faith with us and agreeing for our precious mother, Jan Crouch, as she receives comfort from Jesus and ministering angels from a life-threatening stroke. Thank God WE are NEVER alone. Much love, Matt and Laurie."
​     Crouch and her husband, the late Paul Crouch, founded the Trinity Broadcasting Network in 1973. She produced multiple television programs including Praise The Lord, The Glory of America and Say Yes. Paul Crouch passed away in 2013.
     Carman said the Crouches build the "greatest Christian network of preaching the gospel in history." In recent years, Carman suffered through a bout with cancer and it was Jan Crouch who supported him emotionally and financially.
     "Jan is the president and is totally irreplaceable," Carman's Facebook post read. "I've been close to her for 40 years. She is family to me. We have won countless souls to Christ together through that network. She is the best friend you can ever have when your going through a crisis and feel like everyone has abandoned you. Example: When I went through 10 months of cancer treatment and sent out 600 letters to 600 churches I've ministered at for support, and not one responded, it was Jan who paid my bills so I could focus on my fight with cancer. Her words to me was, 'Just get well.'" 

     As God gives me opportunity to minister the Gospel of Jesus Christ in various places, I am becoming more aware of the brokenness and heartaches of some people I meet. You can see it in their faces and in their body language. They need a good word from people like you and me who know Jesus as Savior and Lord. 
     At the memorial service for my precious sister, Mary Evelyn Morgan McDuff, the Holy Spirit led me to share a brief synopsis of one of the greatest chapters in the New Testament. It is Romans 8.  The Apostle Paul divides the message of this comforting Word of God to the believer who is in Christ Jesus into three sections:
     1.  No condemnation--the beginning of the chapter
     2.  No Separation--the conclusion of the chapter
     3.  No defeat--all in the middle of the chapter 
     Paul gives this powerful summary: " . . . in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us" (​Romans 8:37, 
KJV).
     We are all winners who are in Christ Jesus. He is for us, and wants us to succeed. Let us share the good news of the Gospel to all we meet. People everywhere are responding when done in love.

     Today is Memorial Day when we as a nation remember the service men and women who made the supreme sacrifice giving their life for this country. The real heroes are the ones who didn't come back.
     This holiday originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the soldiers who died in the conflict, and later it was extended to honor all Americans who died while in military service.
     As this national holiday typically marks the start of the summer season, you are asked to pause and take a moment during the day to remember the real meaning of this holiday.
    When you proudly wave your American Flag at the parade in your community, remember why you have freedom today. Freedom is not free. It cost the lives of our finest and best young men and women of our great country.

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery     
​     The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery stands atop a hill overlooking Washington, D.C. On March 4, 1921, Congress approved the burial of an unidentified American soldier from World War I in the plaza of the new Memorial Amphitheater.
     The white marble sarcophagus has a flat-faced form and is relieved at the corners and along the sides by neo-classic pilasters, or columns, set into the surface. Sculpted into the east panel which faces Washington, D.C., are three Greek figures representing Peace, Victory, and Valor. The six wreaths, three sculpted on each side, represent the six major campaigns of World War I. Inscribed on the back of the Tomb are the words:  
      Here rests in honored glory an American soldier known but to God
     The Tomb sarcophagus was placed above the grave of the Unknown Soldier of World War I. West of the World War I Unknown are the crypts of unknowns from World War II, Korea and Vietnam. Those three graves are marked with white marble slabs flush with the plaza.
     I have prepared for you a video that was sent to me of the Unknown Soldier.  Here us the hyperlink for you to watch this moving video. Click Here to see it.
     Chaplain (Colonel) Freeman Mashburn and his wife, Colleen, are buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
     The International Pentecostal Holiness Church has had only one military chaplain to be killed.  That chaplain was Chaplain, Colonel Thomas Eugene Myers, United States Air Force. He was killed while on active duty in a military transport aircraft over Manila, Philippines in April 1964.
    

​"The Untold Story of the Gulf War"
     In every war ever fought in history, there have been spiritual leaders who brought God’s message to the men in battle. Elisha, the Prophet, is one such leader. Today, we might call him a chaplain. He had an ear tuned to heaven and could hear the faintest whisper of God. He knew about the strategies and tactics of the Syrian army that had laid ambushes to destroy the Israeli army. God used Elisha to save the lives of these Special Forces repeatedly by revealing the enemy’s plans.
     We need those kind of dedicated men and women today in our military forces whom God has called in ever age. "Bringing God to soldiers, and soldiers to God" has been the theme of the Chaplaincy for many years. Our chaplains stand before commanders as well as the rank and file members of the armed forces today with the Word of God.
     An outstanding illustration of the role and ministry of the chaplain comes to us from the Gulf War twenty-one years go. General Ronald Griffith, former Vice Chief of Staff of the Army, and the commander of the U. S. 1st Armored Division in the Gulf War tells his amazing story regarding his unique relationship with his chaplain, Danny Davis, and the influence of prayer and God’s intervention in that historic war.
     Although our military forces that fought in Desert Storm were the best trained and equipped of all armies that have ever fought, General Norman Schwarzkopf and our generals feared that there would be mass casualties and thousands of wounded men.
     After a long extended staff meeting held by General Griffith in the desert prior to the invasion of Iraq, Chaplain Danny Davis approached the general and asked for a private meeting with him. Chaplain Davis asked, "General Griffith, what’s bothering you, Sir? I sense you are under a lot of stress and worried. I see it in your body language and hear it in your voice.  Would you like to tell me about it?" The general told him about his great concern for the men. The thoughts of having to send his men home in body bags to their moms and dads, wives and sweethearts, and brothers and sisters tormented him day and night.
     Chaplain Davis said to the General, "Sir, I have been talking with God. He has told me that the battle will not be long and drawn out. It will last only a matter of hours. You will not suffer mass casualties and injured men. The battle is not yours, but the Lord’s. Go to bed . . . get a good night of rest . . . be a peace."
     General Griffith said, "I sensed that God Himself had spoken to me through my chaplain. I went to my tent, got into my bunk, fell asleep immediately, and slept soundly for about four hours."
     What was the result? The war lasted only a matter of hours. There were only four casualties and fifty-seven men wounded in the division. He continued, "I want to give God all the glory, and thank Him for giving me a chaplain, a man of God, who hears from heaven."
     You might ask, how does this story apply to VA hospital chaplains*(Hugh wrote this story when he was chairman of the Endorsers Conference of Veteran Affairs Chaplaincy). It is my belief that chaplains not only minister to the patients and their families, but to the doctors and staff. They need affirming as professionals and persons of worth. They, also, need to hear a Word from God. It takes moral courage to speak up and speak forth a word in due season.
    The sage of the ages, Solomon, wrote, “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver” (Proverbs 25:11, KJV). I like Eugene H. Peterson’s rendering of this verse of Scripture, “The right word at the right time is like a custom-made piece of jewelry” (The Message). We can know God’s Word by an intimate personal relationship with Him, and by reading Holy Scriptures. May God give you and me the right word for the right occasion that will be received as a Word from God, Himself.

An Irish Blessing
by Phil Coulter
May the blessing of light be upon you
Light on the outside and light on the inside.
With God's sunlight shining on you,
May your heart glow with warmth like a turf fire
That welcomes friends and strangers alike.

May the light of the Lord shine from your eyes
like  a candle in the window, welcoming the weary traveler.
May the blessing of God's soft rain be on you,
Falling  gently on your head, refreshing your soul
With the sweetness of little flowers newly blooming.

May the strength of the winds of Heaven bless  you,
carrying  rain to wash your spirit clean, sparkling  after, in the sunlight.
May the blessing of God's earth be on you and
As  you walk the roads, may you always have a
kind word for those you meet.

May you understand the strength and power
of God in a thunderstorm in winter, the quiet
beauty of creation and the calm of a summer sunset.
And may you come to realize that insignificant as you may seem
in this great universe, you are an important part of God's plan.
God bless you all.

     THE ULTIMATE HEN-PECKED HUSBAND
     The cemetery caretaker noticed a woman wandering around the property, crying.  He approached her and asked her what was wrong.
Through her tears, she said, "I buried my husband here last week and now, I can't find his grave."
     He said, "Ma'am, I've worked here ever since this cemetery first opened.  I know the location of every grave.  If you'll tell me what your husband's name is, I will find his grave for you."
     She said, "His name is Harry Webster."
     So off he went, repeating the name "Harry Webster" to himself, and after a few minutes, he returned.
     "Ma'am," he said, "I don't know how to tell you, but there is no Harry Webster buried in this cemetery.  The only Webster we have here is Edna Webster, and she's buried right over there."
     "Oh!" she exclaimed, "that's he" -- we always put everything in my name."

     Good morning, Hugh,
     So sorry to learn of the loss of your sister.
     There were five of us Tunstall children, four boys and one girl. We lost our sister to cancer about two years ago – lost her over Christmas. While I was back east I went by her grave and took the picture. She was a good girl, albeit spoiled, a retired school teacher and a better editor and proof reader then me. She proofed my books until the time we lost her.
     I know I can’t feel your pain, but I still feel mine, and it makes me hurt for you.
     Heaven just keeps getting more attractive!

     Dr. Frank Tunstall, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

​     Dr. Morgan,
     My wife's brother David Richardson has been battling esophageal cancer for the last several months. I would appreciate it if you would post the following prayer request for him in your newsletter.
     Rev. David Richardson, Sr., pastor of Holy Trinity P.H. Church in Andrews, SC, who has been in Duke Hospital, Durham, NC, was released from the hospital following surgery related to cancer of the esophagus. After successful chemo and radiation treatments earlier this spring, surgery was required to remove the tumor itself. Please pray for God's strength and healing touch for David, as he faces a long recovery process.
     His sister, Sue Richardson Adams, was there at Duke Hospital to minister to David, when she had a flare up of her heart and had to be hospitalized for two or three days. 
     Blessings,
     Bill Cox

     ​​Janice Robinson Russ is back home from her extended hospital stay in the SICU at Holy Cross Hospital. God could very easiy remove the cancer on her tongue without any radiation therapy. In the meantime, should a miracle does not happen, Janice is to resume her radiation treatments next Tuesday.

Let keep on praying for Janice as well as Wesley, her husband.

   Vernon Synan was moved to Landmark Hospital in Athens on Friday, May 20, 2016. Vernon is adjusting and asking questions of about why he is there, and when is he going home. Phyllis Sparks Synan, his bride of some 56 years is going to take photos of his garden that now has stomatos as large as a baseball. He is eager to get back to his home and resume his ministry in his community as well as his church where his son, Bert, is the pastor. 
     Their son, Bert, is the pastor of the Peniel Pentecostal Holiness Church at Sandy Cross near Franklin Springs. Their son, Jim, is a school counselor.
     Vernon and Phyllis and their family are so grateful for your faithfulness in praying for Vernon and for Phyllis during these stressful weeks.

b

     Memorial Day 2016
     On Monday our nation once again pauses to remember those who have given their lives to defend our freedom. In addition to the National Ceremony to be held at Arlington on Monday, the 30th, over 44 local observances will take place at national cemeteries across our land (2016 Memorial Day Ceremonies). These, of course, in addition to hundreds of other observances in towns and cities where men and women will pause to give thanks in recognition of the sacrifice of fallen heroes.
     Presidents have been issuing proclamations on Memorial Day since 1891 when President Harrison gave a speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. He said, "We honor those who died in the service of their country" and joyfully and thankfully commemorate "what they did. We mourn for them as comrades who have departed," but "the glory of their achievement" has given them imperishable honor."
     In 1987, as the Cold War neared its end, Ronald Reagan asserted that "any American who has ever listened to a bugler sound Taps" whether it was "halfway around the world" or on "a lonely tarmac stateside" knows "why we set aside a special day each year to honor those who have died for our country and to pray for permanent peace."
     Even as we long for a permanent peace we continue to have those who give their lives in service to our nation. Icasualties.org indicates 14 coalition service members perished in Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2015 and 2016 and an additional 32 in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. 72 members of the Active Component of the US armed services took their lives by suicide in the third quarter of 2015 and 70 did the same from the Reserve Component (text).
     On Monday, we encourage all to participate, as they are able, in a service to honor the fallen. In December 2000 "The National Moment of Remembrance Act" went into effect. Aware Memorial Day was becoming largely a three-day weekend to welcome summer and the opening of swimming pools, our Congress and President passed this legislation to encourage all Americans to pause at 3:00 PM local time for a minute of silence to remember and honor those who have died in service to the nation.
     May God grant peace to the souls of those who have served us with such sacrifice.
     Lyman Smith
     Executive Director
[Editor's Comment: I am pleased and honored to know Lyman Smith. I am a Life Member of the Military Chaplains Association. It was Captain Gary Pollitt, Chaplain United States Navy Retired, a former executive director of the MCA who encouraged me to become a member. When I served on the Executive Committee of the National Conference on Ministry to the Armed Forces and Chairman of the Endorsers Conference for Veterans Affairs Chaplains that Lyman was the editor of the newsletter that published the news of both endorsers conferences. I was given the opportunity to write articles for that publication. Lyman put it all together for us. He does excellent work. My life has been enriched by knowing and working with such outstanding men of faith who has served our country in the Armed Forces of the United States of America.]
