Kentucky Governor’s Prayer Breakfast





* Tuesday Alan spoke a powerful message on Humble Resilience at the Kentucky Governor's Prayer Breakfast. “We all face challenges and difficulties and it’s how we react to this that shapes our destiny. Humble resilience is a quality that lets us rise above our challenges, difficulties and disappointments. As we face them with God we grow stronger in faith and the resolve to live as people of faith who follow Christ.”


* Alan and I were both made Honorary Kentucky Colonels – the highest honor awarded by the Commonwealth of KY to those who are ambassadors of good will and fellowship around the world. We join the list of other Colonels as John Glenn, Winston Churchill, Colonel Sanders, Muhammad Ali, George Clooney, Ashley Judd, and Elvis Presley. 




Wonderful Divine Appt at Reagan National Airport


Wonderful Divine Appt at Reagan National Airport – On our flight home, I noticed the young woman in front of us very disturbed and troubled. I prayed for her during our flight and as we were leaving the plane told her I had been praying for her. She was touched and seemed really needy. I held her hand and walked out with her, sharing God’s love with her, telling her about how Jesus can transform her life and overcome any suffering she’s been through for His redemptive purposes. She asked for prayer to get back on right track. She has an 18 mos old she wants to take care of again as she gets her life together. I hugged her and told her how much God loves her and thinks she is precious. We exchanged contact info so I could mail her Alan’s book, Take Charge of Your Destiny. God’s love really touched her. ~ Then I went into the Ladies room and no one was there except the cleaning lady. I felt led to talk with her. We both talked of God blessing us each day and I felt led to give her a love gift as a tip for the work she does. She was so surprised and said she was just praying to God and wondering how she was going to pay for bus fare to this new job. She started crying and hugged me and then I gave her another bill to bless her. She cried even more. I told her I loved her, she was my sister and God had heard her prayer. How great to be an Ambassador of love for my Jesus. Thank you Lord.

INDIA MISSION TRIP 2012


PRAISE REPORT - INDIA MISSION TRIP 2012


Ah.. jet lag - slept last night 8pm to 2am.   Reflecting now on our trip to India, Alan, Tara, and I were greatly blessed spending time with the children (and staff) of the Light Home. How precious they are! They are doing well, loved by their staff, many are excelling in school, our Lord is healing many of the traumas they’ve experienced in the past, giving them hope for the future.

During our week all three of us spoke at a Woman’s Meeting (with 200, many were widows), a Pastor’s Conference (30 attended) and a Meeting with Lepers (80 were present).  We spoke of God’s love for them, how He is able to bring good out of suffering, His power to heal, the Spirit’s power given to His followers. Also of how Christ suffered in every way we suffer, yet fulfills in Himself and offers Himself to satisfy all our needs and help us overcome the pain of suffering. We also laid hands on and prayed for all those gathered in the meetings asking God’s love, grace, healing and strength to restore and raise up his sons and daughters.

In this trip we wanted greatly to affirm to all of the orphans, widows and lepers, the worth of each individual, of how precious and loved they are by us and their Heavenly Father.

Last night lying awake in bed, I asked the Lord what was accomplished in our mission trip and this is what He said,
            “You loved well my children. All those you encountered experienced my loving heart through you. You brought hope and encouragement to those with heavy hearts and weary souls, and you reflected well my Light. Your Words were life giving to those who heard and your prayers touched deeply the spirits of those who are oppressed by the ruler of this world. They were strengthened as you laid hands on them in my Name.
            I am continuing to work in the lives of my Indian sons and daughters. They need your prayers. There is much darkness in that land. But my Kingdom is being furthered and the Good news is being proclaimed.
            I am blessed that you went, dear ones. Rest now and trust that I am working to save, heal and deliver.  Remember: “Whatever you did for one of the least of these, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:40) I continue to call my followers… ”to preach good news to the poor, to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.” (Isaiah 61:1) And to know my Joy to be their strength. 

On the Light Side (funny experiences in India) –
* Using an outhouse/toilet in the dark, feeling for the lever to flush, touching something squishy that moved when I touched it. J (A frog, I think)
* Upon arrival, riding 11 hours in a van to Rajahmundry, playing “chicken” - many miles had road construction so that oncoming traffic was in our lane coming right at us. EEK!!!  I finally had to keep my eyes closed.
* Sucking on a stalk of sugar cane with my host’s encouragement and getting a “sugar high” over the next few hours. Hmmm!!
* Running up the stairwell into our hotel room trying to avoid attack of the mosquito hoards hanging out by the dozens looking for victims. (We were taking anti-malaria pills.)
* Delighting at Light Home Director’s son, baby Alan laughing at namesake Pastor Alan “mooing” like a cow while we waited for lunch at a restaurant. My husband is very talented!  I was proud of my husband who kept his spirits strong, though sick for a lot of the trip with a bad cough and then traveler’s blight.

Thank you so much for praying for us - it was greatly appreciated. The Lord’s work was accomplished through your partnering with us in prayer, with financial help and your notes of encouragement. The children feel so blessed to know many are praying for them in America.We hope to go back next February and would love to have you come with us. Pray about this. It is a life changing experience.

In Christ,
Sally and Alan Keiran (with teammate Tara)

Valentines Day at the Light Children’s Home


Valentines Day at the Light Children’s Home

Dear Friends and Family,
Alan and I are excited to see our kids in India Feb. 7-16. Thank you to those who have been able to help with their support. It means so much to them. They always express how blessed they feel and how grateful they are for their friends and sponsors in America.

Valentines Day at the Light Children’s Home is going to be a special day of presenting an American party with cards, candy, gifts, games and activities to emphasis God’s love and his care for the orphans. We have made many purchases and look forward to their smiling faces when they are treated to our special gifts.  Pray that God’s supernatural love and joy will touch them during our trip and bring healing to their orphan spirit and fill them with the Holy Spirit’s joyful presence and His ever abiding love known through our Savior, Jesus Christ.

If you have not previously given, but would like to make a donation toward the gifts we will present to the children, to the widows and lepers, please send a check to Dunamis Int’l Ministries 7103 Danford Place, Springfield, VA 22152.
