Welcome!
Pray this today: "Lord Jesus, please forgive me. I repent of my sins. I accept You as my Lord and Savior. Amen" Please let us know if you prayed this prayer: joel@joelhitchcock.com
I have a passion: To know God and to make Him known! This passion of mine began when I was just a child. When I was eight years old I decided that I would be a minister of the Gospel when I grew up. But it was when only I was ten years old that I asked Jesus to be my Lord and Savior, and live in my heart. I preached my first sermon when I was twelve.
When I was thirteen I fasted for a whole day, drinking only water. As I was praying at the end of the day, I heard the Voice of the Lord in my mind for the first time in my life. He said, My son, I want you to become an evangelist”.
That year I read the Bible from cover to cover. I studied the Word and prayed a lot. When I prayed, I would sometimes see images flash in my mind, and the Voice of the Lord would tell me what it meant.
I was especially intrigued with the supernatural power of God. It fascinated me to think that God could still do miracles today. I spent many nights in prayer, crying out to God for His miracle-working power.
Then one day, when I was about 15 or 16 years old, I understood from the Scriptures that everything I said or did had to be done “…in the Name of the Lord Jesus…” (Colossians 3:17). After prayer and thought, and questioning my local pastor about it, I came to the understanding that I should live my life as if I was Jesus. Even today I am still pursuing this.
This passion, to know God and make Him known, has led me to preach the Gospel all around the world. I have preached in huge Gospel Campaigns, with multitudes upon multitudes attending. But I have also preached to the few, and witnessed to people one-on-one.
Come walk this journey with me, as we know God and make Him known together…

Reinhard Bonnke D.D., Evangelist, Christ for All Nations
Joel Hitchcock is a true evangelist – a preacher of the Gospel, a man of
the Holy Spirit and one who has seen God's power demonstrated mightily all
over the world. In his books “Signs and Wonders” and “Multitudes into the
Kingdom.” Joel speaks with authority, passion and clarity: Preach the
Gospel to the multitudes. Don’t water it down. And dare to believe that God
will confirm His Word with signs following. You will catch the same burning
torch of evangelism that Joel carries as you read his heart in this
book.
Daniel Kolenda, Evangelist and President of Christ for All Nations
Called ”The Father of Modern Missions,” the great William Carey served
the Lord 40 years in darkest India. Before he went he told his supporters:
“I will go down into the pit if you will hold the rope.” I have found the
same Spirit in my friend Joel Hitchcock. He is willing to go where few dare
to go. He has endured hardships and dangers to rescue souls. As you read
this book you will see Joel's passion and love for our Lord Jesus. My
earnest prayer is that if you have not already done so you will "hold
the rope" and partner with him in this ministry.
Dr. Mark Swiger, Evangelist – Mark Swiger Ministries

the Good News of Jesus Christ and the Lord will work with you confirming
His Word with signs and wonders followings as you step out in boldness.

Throughout the ages, and in every generation, there is an issue that
must be settled. It is an issue of such magnitude that the eternal
destiny of every person in that generation depended on its discovery.
The issue: What is the truth? What “religion” is right?
Whose god is the One True God? This fact remains – a miracle settles the
issue! Joel’s books, “Signs and Wonders” and “Multitudes into the Kingdom”
will seed you with modern day truths that will release the miracle power of
the Almighty in your life! Get ready for a release of the
supernatural! Joel has lived a life of miracles!
Dr. Mike Francen, Evangelist and President – Mike Francen Ministries
The church of Jesus Christ was born amidst miracles, signs and wonders.
Jesus Christ ushered in the era of the supernatural and sent his
followers to do the same saying "the works I do shall you do
also and greater works than these shall you do.” Evangelist
Dr. Joel Hitchcock believes and practices this. He is no stranger to
daring, bold and rugged faith. On platforms around the world he is unafraid
to pray publicly for the blind, deaf, dumb and lame, and exhibiting their
healing before all to see. Humbly, always giving glory to God he now
reveals the secrets of his faith and power in this book so that the reader
can catch the fire and go for God!
Dr. John Hitchcock, Evangelist
Multitudes and Miracles! Philip saw them in Samaria in Acts 8. Today
Joel Hitchcock sees them as he travels to nations all over the world. This
book will inspire your faith and challenge you to do big things for God!
