ST.BONIFACIUS, Minn. Faculty, students and staff were ministered by the speaker of Deeper Life, Pastor Stumbo this past week. He has powerfully impacted the whole Crown community as well as the family of the student Brandon Pearson. Stumbo brought a refreshing message to Crown students as he began to share his powerful testimony in Deeper Life week. He testified that he was healed from an unexplainable disease and these have made him stronger in Jesus. Stumbo was seventy-seven days in the hospital, eighteen months not able to eat, and doctors could not explain what he had. Stumbo has significantly contributed for the spiritual growth at Crown College. Stumbo is a great pastor, he was the pastor of my parents and he impacted the life of my parents as an example of healing as he gone through so much and always having a positive attitude through harsh situations in his life. The story of his life is inspiring as I have learned from him the importance of submitting to Gods will and trusting in Him in all times, said Brandon Pearson, student of Crown College.

Pearson also mentioned that Stumbo has served as a pastor in the Alliance churches from Pennslyvania to Oregon. Stumbo was the pastor of his parents at the time he was born and also close friend of the family. Pearson became to have appreciation and admiration to Stumbo since little, as he heared stories of how he had impacted the life of his parents as a pastor and how highly they talked about him. Stumbo has become a positive influence and an example of trusting in God in all times in the lives of the Pearsons family. For students, faculty, and staff it is was a great blessing to have John Stumbo at Crown College. His life and example are a real testimony that Jesus is the greatest Healer and the only one we can trust. Also, Stumbo is an outstanding encourager as a writer in his book An Honest Look at a Mysterious Journey. The Crown Community will not forget how influential contributions he has brought to the fellowship of the college community. We are excited for what God will continue to do in his life and ministry. ###
