You need to understand, Casey is not a NUT. He is a straight arrow, a former undercover policeman, that has had a tremendous heart transformation. His love for Jesus has not abated in the 20 years I have known him.

I was humbled, as I read the following account from Casey, as he and his friends worshipped while listening to a program I was hosting LIVE by satellite.

What follows are his words and his story:

Praise the Lord, and I could feel the ZEAL arise the closer I got to NYC. Wow, isn’t it a privilege to be a “fisher of men”. Pat, I forgot to tell you this story while visiting you. 
It was a fantastic event that happened in the mid 80’s. 

Remember when I said that I and some brothers took your Praise in the Night program with us in the field to pray, via ghetto blaster? One day while we were praising and praying out in this field, this sesna plane started to circle us super low to the ground. At first, we just ignored it, but then it caught our attention because it was circling so low to us. Finally, it flew away. 

About 20 minutes later, at the dead end road that connected to the field, fire trucks with their sirens came to the edge of the field with a load of police cars. Lights lit, flashing, and blaring with sirens, now filled the field. The police came running at us, and asked us where the fire was! 

What we found out was , the pilot from the sesna plane that circled us called the fire department, and said that he saw a huge fire in the field where we were at. What the pilot saw was shekinah glory fire all around us while we were praising the Lord to your music! 

I and the other brothers ended up sharing Jesus with all the firemen and the police! and told them that it was fire from heaven that the pilot saw. 

This happened in the mid 80’s and as I was driving to New Jersey from your home, I told Larry Duman by cell phone (he lives in Colorado), that we had spent a few days in your home. He was thrilled because he was one of the brothers who was in the field when the shekinah fell on us. He reminded me of the story, and I thought you’d be blessed by it too! 

How God uses your ministry to bring the gospel in many beautiful ways, like fire from heaven! Sure love you, Pat. Thanks for loving Jesus so much.
