Friends,
We may have an opportunity to get Miracle Valley back if it is not sold in the next 90 days. Sister Harter & I will be traveling to the East and then through the South, speaking with various businessmen and fine Christian people who desire to help us acquire Miracle Valley again. God has blessed us and we already have a good sum of funds in our bank account toward the purchase of Miracle Valley, but we still must raise additional funds and pledges.
In addition to the purchase of Miracle Valley, any owner needs to realize there is a tremendous sum of money that must be raised every month. How do I know this? It is because we were there nearly 10 years and believe me, we know the costs involved every month. Any new construction or remodeling cost is in addition to the current existing bills that must be paid each month.
For example, $10,000 must be raised as a deposit just to turn the electricity back on. The county health department requires a new fully functional exhaust hood to be installed in the cafeteria, which will cost over $20,000. The tabernacle requires completion of its roof structure. The materials alone require $20,000 besides any labor costs. The Girls Dormitory has its roof caving in and must have a complete roof structure, costing nearly $40,000. The same thing applies to the Boys Dormitory with an additional cost of rebuilding the lobby area. The sewer system, which has 50 + year old "orange-burge" pipe must be immediately replaced with a new 6 inch pipe along with new manholes every 150 feet or the DEQ government will not allow the toilets to be flushed. The roof on the Prayer Dome must be replaced by professional contractors. The drywall on the ceiling in the Prayer Tower is collapsing due to the water leaking into it.
There are two underground storage fuel tanks that the EPA requires their immediate removal. Only special designated companies are permitted to remove them. Regarding its cost? It would be at least between $200,000 to $300,000 to do this. And believe me, the list goes on and on and on. So friend, as you realize, Miracle Valley requires a tremendous amount of money for its restoration.
The monthly cost for electricity is nearly $3,000 per month. Property insurance, if you can even get it (We had a very difficult time acquiring property insurance because the property is in such poor condition. The only one we could acquire is "High Risk" insurance.) will cost $5,000 per month premium [or $60,000 per year].
So as you can see, just the few items that we have listed reveals that Miracle Valley requires a great deal of money each month just to keep it open. No wonder the current owners do not allow anyone on the property today and refuse to turn on the electricity. The insurance alone is too expensive to acquire.
If the Lord has not sent you to purchase Miracle Valley, a person had better leave it alone.
The only reason we are interested in Miracle Valley is simply because the Lord spoke directly to me while I was on my knees in prayer, seeking God's divine will for my life. God told me to "go down to Miracle Valley and build My bible college." God made the way for me and kept me there by literally giving me miracle after miracle for nearly 10 years. We were not only able to maintain Miracle Valley, but God showed me exactly what to do in order to raise the necessary funds each month.
Had God not spoken to me to go to Miracle Valley, Sister Harter & I would have had no interest in it whatsoever and certainly would never have gone to Miracle Valley. But one thing we purpose in our heart to do and that is, to obey God's every command and implement His will in our life.
God bless you. Sister Harter & I hope to see you and visit with you in the up-coming few months. We will start in Ohio on April 7, then into Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, North & South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida. Then we will proceed to the west, going through Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona.
Later, we plan to be in California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Nevada. Our last tour will being going across the northern part of the United States. If we are in your state, let us know. We certainly wish to meet you personally and, if nothing else, have a cup of coffee together.
We will be emailing up-dates as to where we are and what the Lord is doing. If you would like to get our up-dates, send us your email address. Send it to miracleoffice@yahoo.com
May God richly bless you is our prayer.
- Dr. Harter

Dear Friends,
It is with deep regret that we must inform you that Landmarc Capital & Investment Co located in Scottsdale, AZ has foreclosed on Miracle Valley.
David Crantz, the President of Landmarc Capital & Investment Co has decided not to work with the Harters and has totally closed down Miracle Valley.
It is a sad day indeed for Dr & Mrs. Harter who have worked so hard and given so much, as well as the many others who have stood with the Harters at Miracle Valley with their prayers and financial support.
A web site will soon be constructed giving all the details, including letters, statements, and etc. between Miracle Valley and the Landmarc Capital & Investment Co.
Miracle Valley is God's Valley regardless of anything or anyone. God is still God and He continues to remain in control regardless what men may think.
The Miracle Valley Assisted Living Home and the Miracle Valley Childcare Center are closed.
Dr. Melvin Harter and Dr. Dennis Robinson are hoping to relocate the Miracle Valley Bible College & Seminary that was located on the campus at Miracle Valley.
In addition, the Miracle Valley Church congregation is looking for a place to continue conducting services.
You can call (520) 255-5960 or (520) 255-5959 for additional information.

Dear Friends,
We are having to make some adjustments here at Miracle Valley due to recent events with our nation's economy.
Sister Harter & I have been here since August 1999.
We believe God is going to give us a "break-through."
The devil would love nothing more than to utterly destroy our work and do totally away with Miracle Valley; however, we are still trusting in the Lord and pressing forward to the best of our ability.
We know that God will give us the VICTORY.
To reach Miracle Valley or to speak with us, PLEASE DIAL (520) 255-5960.
If you wish to inquire about our Assisted Living Home or Childcare Center, call Sister Harter at (520) 255-5959.
God richly bless you is our prayer.
Dr. & Mrs. Melvin (Roberta) Harter

Since August 1999, Sister Harter and I have labored and done our very best for the Lord here at Miracle Valley. But right now, we desperately need your help.
We need to acquire a refinance or Miracle Valley will be lost forever and be no more. It takes a lot of money, and I know that someone somewhere has the ability to help us save Miracle Valley.
I am waiting on your telephone call

God gave me a vision for Miracle Valley. And that vision is to raise up classical Pentecostal preachers. You may ask, "What do you mean by classical?" Well, I certainly do not mean "classical" as simply something "old." I mean "classical" as something that is "original and real."
Are you know tired of the phoney and fake? I know I am. When it gets down to it, anybody can tell the genuine from the counterfeit. Many people in today's church world do not have the faintest idea of the real move of the Spirit of God.
Some years now, someone was visiting with me. This particular person believed in lots of people waving flags during the worship services. I asked him, "Why do you wave flags? Why is that so important to you? What is it's purpose?" The person responded by saying, "When we wave the flags or banners, that moves the air and get the Spirit of God moving in the services."
I could not believe my ears. There is absolutely no where in the New Testament where it is even remotely stated that moving the air brings the Spirit of God. There is only one way to have the Spirit of God in our services and in our lives, and that is, to live a holy, godly life and spend time with God in prayer. There is no other way.
One person spoke with me a year or so ago and stated, "I am rethinking my theology." I asked, "What do you mean?" The person said that they were taught to believe that God heals every sickness and disease and that we have that power to declare it to me. However, the person had two very precious loved ones to recently pass away, even though all involved did not confess their sickness or cancer, but declared life instead.
The above examples are directly from the Charismatic Movement and their own theology.
What the entire Church world and our nation needs is a genuine revival and move of the Holy Ghost. It will never happen through worldly and carnal preachers and their churches. It will only come from bended knees in prayer. Fasting and prayer is what will move the hand of God. Nothing else will. Don't waste your time or money going all over the county to these so-called "religious siminars." They are nothing more than a waste. All they want is your money. Like one so-called preacher stated, "All you need to be successful in the ministry is have enough money to buy full page ads in Charisma Magazine."
Whatever happened to the "all-night prayer meetings?" This new bunch declares that we do not have to tarry before the Lord any longer. All we need to do is to praise, worship and then the glory will fall. But I say to you friends, you can do it all, but until you are right with God, it will all be in vain.
There are numerous preachers today whose only desire is to live a "lavish lifestyle." But I ask, "Where is the burden for lost souls? Where are the hots tears that weep in the night? Where are the sleepless nights?" For most, there are none.
A few years ago, a minister stepped into my office. He got down on his knees, and with tears running down his face, he begged me to sell him Miracle Valley. I remember his exact words. "If I only had Miracle Valley, I would be the next T D Jakes."
May God have mercy on men such as this.
-----------------------------------------------------------
We are looking for the Lord to return soon for His people. This is called the RAPTURE of the Church. The scripture declares, "Unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time unto salvation."
There is a major thrust of the world that has made its way into churches everywhere, including the Pentecostal Church.
One of the most sickening things that is occurring in Pentecostal Churches is the modern dance. Man and women (wearing their tight jeans) dance in the so-called "Worship Services" and call it worshipping the Lord. This does nothing but make God sick to His stomach.
There is absolutely no difference between dancing in the honkey-tonks and many Charismatic and so-called Pentecostal Churches. Say what you want, but this dancing is not of God, it is of the devil. Do not go to these kind of churches, nor have any part in any of there services.
God's people are "called-out" from the world. And friend, there is a vast difference between today's dance and dancing under the anointing of the Holy Ghost. God is no among nor dwells in these worldly Churches. I have a word from God for each of you.
"Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God." II Corinthians 6:17, 18; 7:1
Say what you want, but Hebrews 13:12 still declares, "...without holiness, no man shall see the Lord."
