His Power Through You

By Charles and Frances Hunter

This book is a compilation of miracles the Hunters have seen, and most of them happened when believers who were trained stepped out and began to do the very works of Jesus. The Hunters teaching on How to Heal the Sick is available now on line at no cost. You can join the thousands who are experiencing miracles as they lay their hands on the sick.
