Greetings, beloved members of our Dothan community!

Dothan, our southeastern Alabama gem with over 65,000 residents, continues to shine as a place of faith, family, and miracles. Known for its vibrant arts and culture, strong economy, and friendly spirit, our town is not only home to historic landmarks and engaging attractions but also a community deeply rooted in faith. We are excited to share a powerful testimony of healing and redemption that recently took place in our very own town, reminding us of the boundless power of Jesus Christ.

A Miracle at the Church Gates

Much like the biblical story of the lame man at the Gate called Beautiful, we recently witnessed a miraculous healing in our church family. A beloved member of our congregation, who had been struggling with mobility issues for years, experienced divine healing after fervent prayer and faith in the name of Jesus Christ. As Acts 4:10 states: “Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.” This healing serves as a testimony that every miracle should culminate in one declaration: Jesus did this!

He is our Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. No matter the struggles we face, He is the answer. As a community, we must continue to stand firm in our faith and proclaim His power, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). The world may call our beliefs narrow-minded, but we are called to preach the Kingdom of God and repentance with love and truth.

Faith in Action – Events and Outreach

Dothan is not just a city with a rich history—it is a place where the love of Christ moves among us. We are blessed with many opportunities to serve and connect through faith-based community events:

• Healing and Prayer Gatherings – Join us for special prayer nights where we will continue to intercede for those in need of healing and breakthroughs.
• National Peanut Festival Outreach – As our city celebrates this annual event, our church will be present to share the Good News and spread the love of Christ.
• Dothan Christmas Parade Ministry – As the holidays approach, we will be participating in the parade, celebrating the birth of our Savior.
• Outdoor Fellowship at Landmark Park – A day of worship, praise, and fellowship surrounded by God’s beautiful creation.

The Call to Believe and Receive

Redemption is at the heart of our faith. Many Christians know that they are saved, but few understand the fullness of what Jesus accomplished for us. Healing is not separate from redemption—it is an essential part of it. If you are struggling, remember that Jesus has already paid the price. Just as the Israelites applied the blood of the Passover Lamb for protection, we must claim His promises over our lives. Psalm 105 tells us that when God led the Israelites out of Egypt, “there was not one feeble person among their tribes.” If God did it then, He can do it now.

As we continue to grow in faith, let this be a reminder: You are just as healed as you are forgiven. How much you receive depends on your willingness to believe. If healing was present in the Old Testament types, it must be present in the fulfillment through Christ. Let us look to Him for our healing, our salvation, and our restoration.

Final Words of Encouragement

As we walk through the streets of Dothan—whether visiting the Wiregrass Museum of Art, attending a play at the Dothan Opera House, or enjoying the outdoors at the Botanical Gardens—let us be reminded that we are a light in this city. Whether through prayer, outreach, or simple acts of kindness, we are called to reflect the love of Christ to all.

May we continue to stand in faith, declaring that healing, salvation, and provision come only through Him. Let us boldly proclaim: “I’m looking for Jesus, and I’m looking for healing.” Together, as the Body of Christ in Dothan, we will see His power move mightily among us.

With love and blessings, Your Church Family in Dothan
