Marilyn Hickey Ministries returns to Rome & Sicily
October 2006

Dear Friend,
Marilyn and her team of travelers witnessed hundreds of miracles in Italy.
Miracle crowds. Miracle healings—deaf ears unstopped and impaired limbs restored!
And the most meaningful miracle of all—1,000 Sicilians and other Italians gave their lives to Christ and were baptized in the Holy Spirit.

In Catania and Rome, hundreds of lives were impacted by God's miracle working power as the world's most popular travel destination became an incomparable ministry location!

Catania
Catania was nothing less than beautiful! The travelers enjoyed a walking tour of the historic town center—situated majestically at the base of Mount Etna. While exploring Mount Etna, the travelers witnessed an awesome spectacle...eruption of Europe's most active volcano!

That night, Catania's evening meetings "erupted" with God's power as 350 gave their lives to Jesus...and received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. During the second night when Marilyn prayed for local pastors...a Catholic priest and nun were both baptized in the Holy Spirit.

Rome
The Eternal City—always a favorite for world travelers—impressed the group as they explored...
● the Forum, the political and social center of ancient Rome,
● the Coliseum...
● Tre Fontane...where the Apostle Paul was beheaded
● St. Peters' cathedral…the heart of Vatican City...
● And Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel.

Marilyn taught the Bible from Mamertinum Prison—where the Apostles Peter and Paul were imprisoned, and Paul wrote the book of Romans. The enthusiastic travelers shared tracts and flyers, and performed street dramas throughout the city, desiring to leave an eternal impact!

The Rome citywide meetings attracted 950 Italians who crowded into the sanctuary for an evening like nothing they'd ever experienced...and wouldn't soon forget! The second night the crowd grew to 1,200 and not one person walked away disappointed. Among them was a young man who was completely deaf. His ears were unstopped after Marilyn prayed for him, and suddenly he could hear a whisper even in the crowded hall!

Another young deaf woman scheduled for surgery to implant a permanent hearing aid felt her ears completely open and she could hear again normally!

When a young woman, born with one leg shorter than the other, was healed, her leg grew out, her back and hip went back into place, and all her pain left!

Another woman was able to lift her arm above her shoulder for the first time in three years. A short time later Marilyn also prayed for necks and the same woman was healed of neck pain. One miracle was not enough for her—she received two!

Thank You
Marilyn and her ministry team—plus 100 happy and blessed travelers—saw the power of God fill every meeting and draw the Italian people in droves. Catania experienced a powerful flow of God's presence...and the Eternal City was impacted for eternity.

Marilyn Hickey Ministries feels privileged to have been used by God to affect and influence so many lives. We never take this for granted—or the miracle of committed and faithful partners. Your prayers and support made this ministry trip possible...thank you.
