Praise Reports & Testimonies
Africa Trip 2019
Dear Friends and Pray-ers,
Our hearts are full of praises to our good, good Father and to each of you that supported our trip to Africa with your prayers, finances, and love! With your prayers, we can truly say we flowed with the Spirit and He did what He wanted to do! It was an awesome trip and our best one yet!
Below are some of the highlights to give Him praise for the many, many hearts and lives touched by Him and His extravagant love! It’s longer because we wanted to give a personal touch to what happened and not just share some facts! There were so many great things that happened during our ministry trip that we decided to break them into three parts so that we could share more details and not just the statistics!
Sending our love to each of you,
Rick & Sue

Peace and love and happiness from Richard and Lilian. It is a miracle and a blessing for my marriage to stand firm after your powerful teachings and advice, since l had lost hope in my life. I was planning to kill myself after my father and my brothers treated me badly and refused to educated me and chased me away from home and refused even to give me a share of land. We are staying far from our home and we are staying in a rental house. So before your lessons I had planned to chase Lilian first then l was to kill myself due to the hardship of life and not paying for the house rent for three years. Now another thing is that I have not been faithful to my wife and marriage for the past three years. Now despaired, calling myself a pastor but I have been staying in sins. Honestly, after your advice and powerful teachings plus lessons, I discovered that I must first ask God’s forgiveness and my wife. Then this Sunday I stood before all the church members and asked them the forgiveness. Then I went ahead and asked the orphans and widows because one day history will come to a close, but eternity will go on forever. The future is as bright as the promises of God. So you friends coming to our nation has happily restored my marriage. Now I can sit with my wife and laugh with her. I am faithful to her and I love her because one man one wife. All this is because of you saint and I cannot kill myself again and true faith. I will pay and complete my house rent, I will get my own place. So saints, I speak a blessing over your lives. May God doubled and add again more years so that you may see his glory that you reach all over the world to save other people who are like me. Lilian loves you and any time of day we can receive a child. If he will be a boy, he will be called after Richard And if she is a girl, she will be called after Susan. All this is because of what God has done through you saints to our family. Together we say, worthy oh master! Yes, our God take the glory! the honor! the power! You created it all. lt was created because you wanted it. We will be faithful. Thank him and praise him for his plan and live, for his purposes forever! We love you friends and you will never depart from our hearts. Thanks! Yours son and daughter Richard and Lilian from Kenya
Zambia 2010
Father's Love Ministry started in Zambia!
Greetings to you in our Father’s name. We had our first meeting with the orphans on the 24th July 2010. This program involves the orphans, vulnerable and the underprivileged. There has been a high rate of HIV positive cases in our locality which has left a lot of children as orphans and most of them end up in the streets. At the same time most of the children are vulnerable and underprivileged due to lack of employment on the part of the parents and what has caused this is company shut down over the years which has left a lot of people destitute and find it difficult for them to have a good living.
We will continue meeting once every week and this is Saturday where we share with them God’s Word and then are after give them food. Your materials and books have been of much help. So far in this regard the number of children we have targeted is 25 and as God blesses, we will go beyond just what we are doing for them. I promised to send you a photo of our child Hannah and two others of our program. We believe your coming triggered in this great idea and a passion in our spirits to care for the orphans and the vulnerable children. We would so far say thank you for all the support you have so far given us. Yours in the loving arms of our Father. We love you.

How are you Sir and Ma? Your unique ministry has been a tremendous blessings even months after you’ve left the shores of Nigeria. I cannot but always remembering how the red colored water was pushing out the oil out of the container during your ministration; symbolizing how the love of God would have to be allowed to push out bitterness and anger out of my life. Honestly, I’ve never seen it preached in a simple way with such an effective impact before, even though am a minister of the gospel. I bless God for your lives….I can’t stop praying for you and I still want to do more. I am now in good terms with my Muslim Parents, even though they are yet to accept Jesus. I keep on praying for their salvation daily and I request that you please join me…. It’s nice reading from you once again. I remain yours in Christ – – Be blessed of the Lord Sir and Ma.” Pastor David Yisa, Nigeria
“As a result of this class, I realize that I have tried to live without love and failed miserably because I was born to receive love and give it away. There have been very foundational issues that have been missing from my walk with Christ. I have never been comfortable with love or have replaced my need for love with a performance orientation and passions of the flesh, neither of which have brought any satisfaction. It is liberating to say that my destination is the bosom of the Father, the place of deep intimacy.” 2009
Life Groups
My father was an alcoholic and mentally unstable. I grew up in constant fear of his drinking rampages when he would become violent and abusive. Even though I became a believer as a child, it was exceedingly difficult to believe scriptures about the gentleness, provision, and compassion of a heavenly Father. For years, I struggled with whether it was even possible for someone with my impoverished background to truly experience the extravagance of God’s love. But Father demonstrated that there is no divide that He cannot conquer. For the first time in my life, I KNOW in my heart that my Abba loves me, not just everyone else. The revelation of this simple but profound truth is transforming me from the inside out in ways that I could not have anticipated.
I am so appreciative of the ministry of Rick and Sue McCoy and the role that they have played in my inner healing. Their course on the Father’s love is material that I keep referring back to year after year.
One-on-One Ministry 2017
Dear Sue and Rick
I thank you so much for the love- letter.
It spoke to my heart. I also experience Abba’s love as something I was always looking for. And it isn’t so necessary that people love me, because I am loved by my father.
A long time I thought, my husband should give me the love I need. Then I realized, that he can not give, what he hasn’t. As you write.
It’s as I always knew that God loves me, but now I experience the love. Many times I’m only sitting in this presence of light and warmth.
You know that when I was reading your letter, I thought, there is someone who understands me,
who is feeling like me. For a long time I have been looking for someone.
Tomorrow more. my break is over.
Love and blessings

Hello Beloveds! Spoke to Hilde and she wanted me to tell you how much she was impacted by that blessing with the cloth around her neck and even these days she will just get a cloth and speak over herself that she is loved and valuable! She never got that at home and she is ever so grateful. Hilda
Dear Sue, today the love letter arrived.Thank you very much.
I,m sitting now in our living room, reading the letters while Andreas is playing the guitar.
Most the sentence spoke to me that the father loves me as HE loves Jesus.
I always saw that we had to love oneanother how the father loves Jesus.
But I can only love others whenI,m loved myself

One-on-One Ministry 2014
Thank you so much for the Love Letter. I appreciate the soaking music links since I don’t have many of them. Thank you.
Sue, I loved your “I see you” message. It touched me so deeply while I was there, especially the “sash” experience. Your eyes were the Father’s eyes to me. I will never forget them. I am so happy you told me to open my eyes. I usually experience things with my eyes closed, so I wouldn’t have opened them unless you had asked me too. I especially liked all the props too. I am a visual person also, and a former elementary teacher as you were!
I am very excited to have that message in writing in your love letter. Thank you.
Thank you both for all the work you did for a beautiful experience with Pappa Father. Pat
HI blessed brother and sister.
You have been used as a precious instrument in my heart today.
I cannot begin to share how today and last night impacted my heart. I am a changed woman in Christ. I am His daughter with a renewed and opened up depth of love that is newer to me than I have experienced in years. I am so blessed.You both ooze the love of Abba. I never called Him Abba or Father before and am changing my address to Him today.
I SEE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You’re new (now having met but already were family members) sister and friend, Sandy
One-on-One Ministry 2013
God Bless you both!! I just wanted to tell you how blessed I have been by your love and prayers. I find it amazing how God brings people together and changes lives. I am very thankful that I have met you, and I look forward to seeing you again!!
Sue, you commented tonight about how much I have changed.. I was thinking about that and remembering the first night of class.. All I could say when we were to introduce ourselves and say what we were looking to get out of the class was, “Change. I want things to change in my life.” And I remember your kind voice and your hug. You made me feel important and loved, even though you didnt know me. Thank you.
Rick, I admire your gentle strength and compassion. It was wonderful to see you and Sue together and know that you are partners in ministry and in life. Thank you for your prayers and kind words. I continue to rejoice with you in your healing and good test results!
I know that God’s love is flowing through you both, even when you are dealing with challenges of your own. I am so excited for you and your trip to New Zealand! Enjoy the time together and BE REFRESHED!!
One-on-One Ministry 2012
Even though you don’t know me, I have a great desire to thank you all for your prayers and for believing our Father to do great things in the lives of those that are ministered to by Rick and Sue. The desire to thank you came upon me when I got my first email from Rick and Sue, the same ones you get, asking us to pray for someone they’re about to meet with.
You see months ago I was one of the people Rick and Sue ministered to. I was one of the people you got an email or a call from them asking for prayers so the Holy Spirit would show the love of the Father. And oh how my life has changed! I was struggling with bitterness, unforgiveness, and desperation. I was in a very dark place. I was striving to please God with my own efforts and I was under Law and self-righteousness. But then, as it is so beautifully said in the Bible, “Suddenly God…” began to systematically show me truth, heal my heart, and give me a hope and a future. I was set free and delivered from things I had no idea I was in bondage to. I was, for the first time in my life, shown and given unconditional love and acceptance. I was honored for who I was and not for anything I’d done. God did it all through the ministry of Rick and Sue, and through your prayers.
And now my life has changed completely. I’ve been shaken to my core. I’ve been given a new heart and I’m free! And what God did He’s now using for His glory. My ministry has been completely transformed and God has blessed me with so much fruit. Fruit that I’d been fighting for years is now happening so easily, without any effort! All because I just want to spend time with my Father and I want to be a son, nothing more! Not to mention all the blessings I’ve been given since then! Soon I will even marry! God is so good! My life is truly like the promise in Isaiah 61, where the Father has healed my broken heart, released me from bondage, and now I have the oil of Joy, the garment of praise, and I’m even experiencing the double portion. HALLELUIAH!!!
And so I thank you so much for being Arrows in God’s Quiver. I wanted to let you know that your prayers are being heard and are being used by God to transform lives. I am an evidence of that. And when I got that first email and began to pray for the person Rick and Sue were about to meet with the Holy Spirit brought to my attention that others I’d never met must have been praying for me while I was meeting with them. Your desire to pray for God to move in my life even though you don’t know me truly humbles me. I am so blessed and you played a part in it, and for that I thank you. In Christ 2012
