Dear Rev. Dr. Ken Stafford and family, As we celebrate all that the Lord has done through Wife, Mom, Powerful Prayer Warrior, Intercessor, and Bible Teacher, Doreen Stafford, over the years of her life, here are just a few thoughts from one of her and your Pneuma Bible Institute students and friends: She radiated Holy Spirit strength and power, and the enemy trembled with every prayer. She “stormed the heavenlies” and provided specific daily prayer covering for her family, friends, and also those of us whose husbands have passed on. She taught us the importance of prayer and how to pray more specifically, powerfully speaking the Word of God, and prophesying over the lives of our loved ones. She taught us how to engage in spiritual warfare and know without doubt that our prayers achieve the purpose for which they are sent. She reminded us of the importance of putting on the same clothing EVERY day...... the spiritual armor of God, and to NEVER leave home without it. She taught us the importance of being guided by the Holy Spirit, and using our heavenly prayer language to communicate directly with God, while confounding the enemy. She delighted in sharing stories of a godly marriage, her beloved family, and praying a hedge of protection over each of you, every day of your lives. She shared about showing love in the seemingly small things in life, indicating that she took the time to starch and iron every bed sheet for her family. She devoted decades of her life to “ the greatest work,” prayer and intercession for others. May you all delight in knowing that Doreen’s spiritual legacy in Christ extends literally to thousands. I thank God for bringing her across my path as teacher, Prayer Warrior, and friend. With a grateful heart, Ms. Melody M. Green
