A Healing Crusade Stirs Faith in Oceanside

In summer, 2024, the Oceanside Healing Crusade, now re-branded as the Oceanside Healing Experience, returned to the Pier Amphitheater after several years of issues involving construction, competing city events, and pandemic restrictions.

For our return to the beach, we added 300 chairs at the ground level. The results were glorious. Our Saturday evening service drew over 2,500 people. We recorded 64 salvation decisions and 47 healing miracles over the two-days. We are grateful to Pastor Greg Mitchell and the Prescott church for their on-going commitment and faithfulness to this outreach (and persistence in insisting we get back on the beach!). We also must testify to the blessing of our CA, NV and AZ Fellowship churches for their support.

In early 2024, we re-booted our Camp Pendleton Bible Fellowship. This was always our most fruitful church activity. But after the pandemic, most of our active-duty families received orders at the same time leaving us with no base home to host this Bible Study.

God opened a new door onto the base as the military opened Base Housing to Veterans. Two of our Veteran families moved back on base and went to work rebuilding the Bible Fellowship. The result was incredible. The Camp Pendleton Bible Fellowship, now led by USMC Veteran Kyle McKee blew up with as many as 30 marines, sailors, dependents, and now Veteran family members attending at times. This has led directly to an increase in church attendance with several young men and couples accepting the call to discipleship.

Our 2024 Haunted House called “Camp Fema 2030” had 288 visitors with 50 saved and 15 visitors in church the next morning.

Our 2025 revivals with Evangelists Leonard Williams, Dave Fowles, and Richard Graham have brought in more new converts along with many testimonies of healing and deliverance. The Sunday morning service after our Richard Graham revival was our largest regular service attendance ever. God is stirring up our prayer meetings, our outreaches, and our regular services like never before.

Our teen ministry and children’s church, under the leadership of Jonathan and Joeana Garcia have been revitalized with many new faces, events, and a teen-led puppet show/skit group established.

We believe this is the End Times Harvest season and are emphasizing Last Days Holy Ghost signs and wonders in our Bible Studies and our Service messages. We also see God is blessing us for our commitment to World Evangelism as this has been our first year supporting a couple overseas - we launched Matt and Claudia Stowe into Spain last year (in partnership with the Prescott Church) and we know God has given us an increase to support the work.

We are also pleased to report church growth and blessings in our US baby churches. We are thankful we don’t need to try new gimmicks or change the message of the Gospel to see fruitfulness in our labors. The Fellowship pattern of Book of Acts evangelism and church doctrine still works, and Jesus Christ is as faithful as ever to draw men to Him as we are faithful to lift Him up in the public Square.

This year’s Oceanside Healing Experience is July 25 and 26. Blessings to everyone and hope to see you there.
