What you are about to read is how God spoke to us concerning His will for Miracle Valley. We trust the Holy Spirit
will witness to you the truth of this account and His will for Miracle Valley.
We are known as the “Canadians” Gilles and Diane Langevin met as teenagers in Grand-Remous, Quebec, Canada,
married in 1987. Gilles a mechanic, truck driver and Diane a registered nurse came to live in the United States in
1988 to travel and live the American dream. Michael their son born in Canada while visiting in 1990. In 1994 in
Augusta, Georgia, Gilles & Diane gave their lives to Jesus and became born again Christians. Gilles surrendered his
heart to the LORD after a near fatal accident on a construction job. His life flashed before him and he remembered
when he was seven years old in Northern Quebec his families house burned down the night of Christmas, his
parents had no insurance, 6 children, all their Christmas gifts, clothes, furniture burned. The next day Gilles said
they were staying at his Grandmother’s house and everybody was sad. As he looked outside the window and
saw smoke rising from where his house use to be he said, “God what is life about, you live to be forty, get a
house and then lose everything, God why are we here?” Gilles said he laid down on his bed and then suddenly
was taken out of his room in a vision and was standing in front of a light and the light spoke to him and the
voice was like thunder, he could feel love from the light, like velvet wrapping him and there were people standing
on each side but he could not see the faces. And the voice said to him, “One day you will be gone from your
homeland, you will be a long time without returning, you will travel, you will have one son, you will stand in front
of crowds of people and you will tell them, love one another like Jesus Christ loved you, that is what life is about.”
The following morning he told his family about this and they laughed. He told Diane when he first met her and she
thought he is a country boy, trapper, speaks only French and she wanted to live where he grew up in the country
and thought they would always live there in Grand-Remous, Quebec, Canada. Gilles’s family from the Algonquin
Tribe had never read the Bible and Diane’s family did not attend church either. All this coming back to Gilles’s
memory when he was nearly killed on the construction job, he said to the LORD, “LORD I have no money to give
you, but I will give you me, when you want me to do something, I will do it, but I want to know you LORD, not
religion.” This began our journey with our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ.
In 1998 Gilles began doing prison ministry in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, and the inmates said you guys need to go
in the streets and tell these youth about Jesus, so they don’t end up in here like us. We wish someone had
reached out to us in the streets. From that time on Gilles began preaching in the streets, organizing outreaches
in the communities, parks, lower income project areas, working with county officials, police, local businesses in
organizing the outreaches. Diane continued with traveling nursing assignments and in 1999 the family moved to
North Carolina , the ministry expanded and now was being shared on a daily radio program on WAGO called
Street Ministry. Praise the LORD, God was moving and people were getting saved and we were given a recently
renovated church that could sit 300 people. God spoke to our family we were not to take the church but give
it to another ministry and that the LORD had a work for us on the West coast. After fasting and praying we obeyed
the LORD, gave the church to another ministry that needed a building. Stopped our radio program. Diane working
as traveling RN, Gilles restoring cars on the side and home schooling Michael, our family bought a motor home
and headed West as the LORD had told us in 2002.
In 2003 we met Pastor Johnny and Virginia Curtis of the Ft McDowell Christian Center in Ft. McDowell, Arizona.
The next several years we lived next to the church with our motor home on the Yavapai Nation. We truly felt
this is where the LORD has called us. God gave us a deep love and compassion for the Native people who were
bound by drugs, alcoholism, depression, suicidal. Pastor Johnny and Virginia Curtis and all those at Ft. McDowell
took us in as family. We went to all night prayer meetings at the church from sundown to sunrise, we prayed
for God to move in the community and save the people. We saw God honored those prayers and during tent
revivals God saved, healed, delivered, and filled people with the Holy Ghost. Michael learned to play the drums,
guitar, and sing in the camp meetings, it would get late at night and Michael didn’t want to leave the tent revival
meetings, he would say”Mom I want to stay and not miss what God is doing!” We saw how the Christian Pastors
and ministers on the various reservation worked together and the congregations to reach out in the communities.
There is a unity there and a deep love and hunger for our LORD & Savior Jesus Christ that is very precious.
Psalm 133:1-3 “Behold, how good and pleasant it is for brethern to dwell together in unity!....for there the LORD
commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.”
On June 4th, 2007 we were helping with the children’s ministry during a tent meeting on the Pasqui Yaqui
Village in Tucson. We met a relative of A. A. Allen, he spoke to us how our motor home, trailer and what we
were doing reminded him of his father A. A. Allen. That was the first time we heard of A. A. Allen and Miracle
Valley. The weeks that followed we were busy organizing the 1st Annual Native American Christian Conference
at the Tucson Expo Center on August 4th. After the conference we pondered on who was A. A. Allen and
Miracle Valley? We were compelled by God to go and visit and on September 8th, Gilles called the previous
owner and asked information on Miracle Valley. When they were finished speaking Gilles said I will see you
Sunday, then another voice came on the phone and said, “And you can come and preach” then the owner
came back and said, see you Sunday. After Gilles hung up he said, “The strangest thing just happened another
man’s voice came on the phone and said I can preach, I didn’t tell him I was a preacher or who we were?”
We arrived at Miracle Valley for the first time on September 15, 2007. There was nobody at the office so we
parked our motor home in the main driveway. That Saturday night while Gilles slept, God spoke to him all
night long, “You will preach tomorrow in Miracle Valley” and Gilles answered God, “They will not let me preach
they don’t know me.” The following day, the minister at Miracle Valley asked Gilles to bring the Word and
preach, just as God had said. While Gilles was preaching that Sunday he began to prophesy and say, “People
will come from the East, the West, the North and the South and Miracle Valley will be restored quickly, there
will be more miracles than what happened in the past. A revival will break out from here and go all around
the world before the coming of the LORD.” That night God showed Gilles in a dream Miracle Valley restored,
that it would come back alive, with revivals, people from all around the world will come once again, there will
be all kinds of animals, fruits and vegetables. Miracle Valley will once again be self sustained and be a refuge
for God’s people in the future. The following morning for the first time we heard the prophecy that A. A. Allen
spoke in January 1970, that Miracle Valley would become desolate and forsaken however in the last days
God was going to send another people from the East, the West, the North, and the South. People He has
chosen to come and restore Miracle Valley again. There will be greater miracles than in the past. This revival
will spread around the entire world and then Jesus Christ will return for His church. This confirmed
the dream Gilles had and the night he preached in the tabernacle.
On October 8th, 2007, we met Mr Urbane Leiendecker. He shared with us that the day his father died he
found a letter addressed to his father from a missionary lady from Mexico who was ministering on an AM
radio station and she wrote back in the letter, “Yes Mr Leiendecker your property will be used for the glory
of the LORD Jesus Christ, I am praying for you.” Mr Urbane Leiendecker continued to share with us that
the LORD told him to give his 1280 acre ranch to A. A. Allen for the glory of the LORD Jesus Christ. The
land was to be used to preach the Gospel and not as a business.
“The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in
the midst of the valley which was full of bones. And caused me to pass by them round about: and behold,
there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. And he said unto me, Son of man,
can these bones live? And I answered, O LORD GOD, thou knowest. Again he said unto me, Prophesy
upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. Thus saith the LORD
GOD unto these bones; Behold I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: And I will lay sinews
upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall
live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. Ezekiel 37:1-6
“And the LORD answered me, and said, write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run
that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie,
though it tarry, wait for it, because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” Habakkuk 2:2-3
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15
