The Ladder and the Limp
Ten Lessons from Jacob’s Road from Striving to Surrender
Laurel Mountain Ministries invites you to a new Bible study taught by Gail Johnson beginning Tuesday, March 17, 2026. The Ladder and the Limp: Ten Lessons from Jacob’s Road from Striving to Surrender will meet on ten consecutive Tuesday evenings at 7:00 PM in the campus conference room at Laurel Mountain Ministries..
The study centers on the life of Jacob as recorded in Genesis 25–35, tracing his long movement from striving and self-reliance toward surrender and trust in God. Jacob’s story resonates with believers who recognize seasons of waiting and uncertainty and who desire to grow in faith while navigating those challenges. Through close engagement with Scripture, participants will explore how God meets His people in ordinary places and difficult circumstances, shaping character over time.
Each session focuses on a significant moment in Jacob’s life, beginning “Before the Ladder” at Bethel and moving toward the night of wrestling that left him permanently changed “After the Limp”.The study highlights God’s faithfulness across seasons and invites reflection striving and surrender that often precede spiritual transformation.

Miracle Tent Revival on the Mountain with Evangelist Jennifer Martin and Thunder Outreach Ministries
Thunder Outreach Ministries and Evangelist Jennifer Martin brings inspiring worship, powerful preaching, and the tangible presence of the Lord Jesus to the Pennsylvania Miracle Tent Revival on the Mountain. Come this evening prepared to experience changed lives, powerful healings, and a mighty move of the Holy Spirit.
Meet Jennifer Martin
Jennifer Martin is a passionate prophetic voice. Her heart is broken for the bound and wounded who seek freedom through the love of Christ. Her love for Jesus and for His people is tangible.

After a New Year’s Eve 2018 dream, Jennifer felt commissioned by the Lord to empower those who feeling unseen, muted, and ignored in the Church to discover their voice and role in the Kingdom. Now, she inspires a fresh wave of “dark horses” faith leaders. A “dark horse” leader is an unknown or hidden one emerging to cause great impact.

Jennifer established Contagious Love International in 2007. Since then, she has traveled to twenty-four (24) nations including more than twenty (20) trips to serve the people of Israel. At the height of the global pandemic of 2020-21 when churches were closed, Jennifer and her team set up a tent in Smyrna, TN to provide a place for people to encounter God. The anointing of the Holy Spirit began to pour out in an unprecedented manner. Deliverance quickly became the marker of their ministry events. The four (4) day event turned into a seven (7) month revival. After seven months, the Lord called Jennifer to take the revival on the road. Since the start of 2022, Jennifer and her team have traveled across the United States bringing healing and deliverance.

The Heaven’s Thunder Band appears at venues ranging from community block-parties to Faith & Family events. They are also regulars at Large Church Worship events, and local sports stadiums where they perform at faith-based programs. Last year they appeared at the Reading Fightin’s, the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs, the Philadelphia SOUL, the Reading Royals and everything in between.

The only question is, “Where will the ride take you?”

Johnny Jernigan’s Testimony (Edited for the Web)

In the Beginning …
It started 45 years ago, July 22,1979.
At sixteen, I was a boy looking for love, life, and direction. A friend in high school saw my confusion and invited me to her local church. I went with her, and I heard the message about the love of Jesus and how Jesus could change my future, give me life, and fill me with joy.
That night I accepted Jesus and my faith journey and ministry began. The Pastor told me, “Please tell someone tonight what Jesus did in your heart, and that you have become a Christian”. So, I stopped at a 7-Eleven convenience store on my way home from church and told the woman behind the counter that tonight I had just accepted Jesus into my heart.
She high-fived me and said, “That’s amazing!”
I almost floated out of that 7-Eleven. It felt so good and so fulfilling to tell someone what Jesus did for me. That night I felt the transformation taking place in my life.
The Beginning of Ministry …
The next day, the Pastor called me on the telephone and invited me to make visits with him. I met him at the church at 6 p.m. that evening. We crossed the street from the church and knocked on doors. We were cursed so violently at the first home that the Pastor said, “We can just go back to the church, Johnny. That was a really tough experience for a new Christian.”
Yes, it was tough, but it was also my introduction to evangelism. All I knew was that I didn’t want the night to end. I already felt the call of God in my heart. I told the Pastor, “No. Let’s go to the next home.”
We knocked on the next door. A sweet lady about 40 years old opened it. She greeted us and invited us into her home. I remember that she gave each of us a sweating glass of sweet iced tea, and a huge chocolate chip cookie. While we snacked, the Pastor shared the plan of salvation with her. When he finished, the Pastor looked me in the eye and directed, “Johnny, tell her what God did for you last night.”
I never did this before and didn’t know what to say. I gulped down the lump in my throat and responded, “I’m not getting drunk anymore! I got saved last night!”
The Pastor questioned, “Isn’t that wonderful to hear from a young teenager?” She agreed. The Pastor then asked her, if she would like to place her faith and eternal destination in Jesus?
She answered, “yes!”
At that moment, her experience with Jesus changed from casual belief to personal salvation relationship. I’ll never forget her standing up and laughing like Woody Woodpecker. She was happy to be born again, and hopeful for her eternal destination.
She died several years ago, and I preached at her funeral. I explained to her loved ones that I was there the night she became a Christ follower, and now I was here to celebrate her home-going.
Since then, I set aside time almost every week to tell others about Jesus. Telling others about my faith in Jesus is more alive in me now at 60 years of age, than it was during those first hours of being a follower of Jesus, 43 years ago. The purpose of my life is to tell others about Jesus.
Johnny Jernigan Speaks

About Johnny Jernigan Ministries
Johnny Jernigan Ministries exists to organize, train, and mobilize Christians and congregations for community influence and to advance the gospel of Jesus Christ. Johnny and his wife, Karen, travel extensively teaching, preaching, and training. Johnny is the Director of Evangelism for the Assemblies of God in the State of Alabama and is an assistant to the National Evangelism Director in Springfield, Missouri. Their story is one of influence and evangelism fervor.
Johnny and Karen Jernigan began their ministry over 35 years ago soon after the high school sweethearts married in March of 1984 in Mobile, Alabama. After the honeymoon, they moved to Lakeland, Florida to attend Southeastern Assemblies of God University where Johnny received a Batchelor’s in Theology and in Ministry. Karen received a degree in Elementary Education. Later she received a master’s degree from the University of Mobile. After graduation in 1986, the couple moved to Birmingham, Alabama to become youth ministers at the Grayson Valley Assembly of God. The Youth Ministry grew from 10 to almost 100 during the next nine months.

In 1987, the Jernigan’s moved back to Mobile, Alabama to be youth ministers at their home church, the Knollwood Assembly of God. Over the next five years, their new charge grew from twenty-five to over 250 students. Then at the height of his success as a youth minister, Johnny felt the tug of the Holy Spirit to become an Evangelist.
After recognizing the Call to Evangelism in 1992, Johnny Jernigan Ministries began. Johnny’s unique connection with students led to 15 years youth centric evangelism. During that time, Johnny spoke at over 120 youth camps, more than 75 youth conferences and countless High Schools assemblies. His “Choice of Champions High School Assembly Program” made Johnny one of the most sought after youth speakers in all of the Assemblies of God.
In 2006, after almost 15 years on the road, Johnny and Karen returned to their roots and planted The City Church of Mobile in their hometown in Alabama. The church launched with 11 people at their first gathering and after 2 years, the church was averaging over 400 in attendance.
The church grew to over 500 congregants with ministries throughout the Mobile Area. It reflected the multicultural community with a multicultural staff and outreach. Today, The City Church of Mobile is still a thriving and influential congregation in the city of Mobile, Alabama.
2016 brought a fresh challenge. Johnny and Karen returned to the life and calling of the evangelist with the creation of Johnny Jernigan Evangelistic Ministries and The Champions Foundation. The focus of their renewed evangelistic vision is to organize, train, and mobilize local churches for community influence. Johnny believes that sharing individual faith in Jesus must be a priority for every believer.

Breaking Bread
Join us for Breaking Bread, a monthly fellowship dinner where believers from across our community share a meal, build friendships, and encourage one another in Christ.
We started Breaking Bread when attendees of the Laurel Mountain Ministries Tuesday Evening Bible Study decided they didn’t want their fellowship to end during the months when the Bible study took a break. They invited friends from their churches, who invited others, and the gathering quickly grew into an evening that’s open to everyone in the local Christian community.
Meet us on Wednesday, July 1, from 4:30 p.m. until approximately 6:00 p.m. at Annamarie’s on Main, 339 W. Main Street, Birdsboro, PA 19508. We continue to gather on the first Wednesday of every month, making it easy to reconnect with old friends and welcome new ones.
Order from Annamarie’s menu and enjoy the delicious home-style meals, generous portions, and affordable prices that have made the restaurant a local favorite. Then settle in for an evening of relaxed conversation with believers from many different churches.
We don’t schedule a speaker or a formal program. Instead, we share a meal, strengthen friendships, encourage one another, and enjoy the fellowship that grows when Christians gather around the table.
