On her second morning at the Minnesota Koronis CFO in 1987, Ordelphia Nelson Proctor retells the Bible’s four lepers. They dared to enter a deserted enemy camp rather than starve at the gate. She pairs their story with her own: a desperate late-night prayer call that a stranger’s ministry answered with a peace she says came from the Holy Spirit.
On a mission trip, Ordelphia Nelson Proctor prayed for a stranger’s bandaged eye and for a paralyzed boy. She also recalls praying for the healing of an old curse in her husband’s family line. At the 1987 Minnesota Koronis CFO she reads a foster daughter’s letter: “A mother is not one who necessarily brings you into the world, but one who loves you.”
At the Minnesota Koronis CFO in 1987, Ordelphia Nelson Proctor continues her testimony of the years after her divorce. In that time, home prayer meetings brought a woman’s frozen leg and clouded eyes back to health. She recalls painting her kitchen floor until the fumes drove her mother-in-law out, and the day her extended family of thirty-seven prayed the sinner’s prayer.
Ordelphia Nelson Proctor opens with Job facing Satan before the Lord, then turns it into a message about her own spiritual battle at home. She tells of a lawsuit calling her “cruel and inhuman” for hosting prayer meetings, and of a night she marched around her house in prayer to reclaim it for God. She gave the message to the Minnesota Koronis CFO in 1987.
Ordelphia Nelson Proctor opens with the “crystal sea” of “transparent gold” from Revelation, an image of being open before God and each other.

Ordelphia Nelson Proctor tells campers at the Minnesota Koronis CFO in 1987 how a stranger’s phone call took her to her first camp. There, hugs from her roommate and the speakers convinced her that God comes “with skin on him” through the people around us.
