SUFFOLK, Va., Jan. 17, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ -- Today, Dr. Princella Johnson, Pastor of The Master's House COGIC (TMHC), announced that international healing ministers and Christian Evangelists William & Lucille Lau issued The Elijah Challenge to all Virginians suffering from heart disease to be healed during a special Evangelistic Healing and Miracles Crusade Sunday, February 24, 2013 4pm at the Suffolk Hilton Garden Riverfront Hotel, 100 E. Constance Road, Suffolk, VA 23434.

The Laus, founders of the Houston-based worldwide headquarters of The Elijah Challenge (TEC), will be in Suffolk February 22-24 launching TEC's newest healing and deliverance training center during the God's Special Forces Healing & Deliverance Boot Camp sponsored by TMHC, where the new training center will operate. Pastor Johnson and her husband Overseer Maurice Johnson will serve as The Elijah Challenge Virginia USA Coordinators.

"God is not dead, and the church is still relevant today because Jesus' power still saves souls, heals the sick and delivers us from sin and Hell!" Johnson proclaimed. "The Church has to deal with the proliferation of positive-yet-powerless, prosperity-preaching American churches that have bred the largest generation of unsaved people. This wicked onslaught is fueling this great nation's shameless, spiraling descent into the complete abandonment of God's laws of decency and righteousness," she stated. "The challenge issued by Rev. Lau will prove to heart disease sufferers, atheists and agnostics alike that the Church is not powerless and that the God of Elijah, Jesus Christ, is the One and only true God."

Since 2000, the Laus have traveled the world preaching the Gospel and healing thousands of people throughout Asia, Africa, Europe Central, North & South America, and then training local Christians to minister healing according to the Biblical model established by Jesus and His apostles. The Elijah Challenge founders are authors of Dancing on the Edge of the Earth, an autobiographical book about their call to ministry.

The GSF Boot Camp will be held February 22-24, and offer training to Christians nationwide. No prior training, religious titles, or gift of healing required. Training is free, but registration is $25. Special discounted flat-rate hotel accommodations include meals and taxes.
