JOHN G LAKE MINISTRIES
MONDAY - FRIDAY
9:30

‘Excerpt from: “The Azusa Street Revival” by Roberts Liardon – P.204-205

“Although he (Lake) founded a number of institutions, they never gained the
widespread prominence of other similar ministries. His daughter, Gertrude, and her
husband, WilfordReidt, carried on his ministry until late in their lives when they offi-
cially passed the ministry to a young minister named Curry Blake. Blake had been run
over by a car as a baby, but while in the hospital, his mother prayed for him and he
miraculously recovered with barely any sign of what was thought to be a life-threat-
ening injury. Unknown to the Blake family at the time, this event occurred exactly 25
years after Lake had given a prophecy about a successor who would come 25 years
later. Blake has begun to rebuild Lake’s ministries and vision. Many claim Lake as a
spiritual influence, but Blake’s success in the healing ministry, as well as the extent
of his vision of Christianity is uniquely reminiscent of Lake himself.”

Born April 1, 1959 in Jasper, TX. At 17 months of age Curry was hit by an automobile in the driveway of his grandparent’s home. Curry’s father did not see him as he
was backing out. The car ran over his head, ripping his right ear off. The car’s wheel pinched his scalp to the point that it ripped from his right ear to his left ear. This
ripping caused his scalp to be pulled down across his forehead to the top of his eyes.

Curry’s grandfather came out of the house, picked Curry up, picked up his ear, put him in his truck and drove him to the hospital. The doctor’s told Curry’s mother
to buy a casket and plan his funeral because there was no way he could survive such extensive brain damage.

Curry’s mother, a Pentecostal, began to pray. She told God that if He would spare Curry’s life, she would raise him and train him to serve Him. The doctors came
out of surgery to tell her that if he lived, he would be completely handicapped and that someone would have to care for him the rest of his life. The doctors went
back to surgery and Curry’s mother went back to praying. This time she said, “God, if you’re going to let him live, then heal him completely.”

After some time, the doctors returned saying, “Well, we can’t find any signs of brain damage, but, if he lives and even if he doesn’t have any brain damage, he will
never have any hair and he will never hear out of his right ear.” Once again his mother began praying. She told God, that if He was going to let Curry live, that he
would be of no use to Him unless he was completely healed.

Today, Curry is totally and perfectly healed. He has at least an average IQ and a full head of hair and perfect hearing in both ears. At 17 years of age, Curry enlisted
in the U.S. Air Force as a Security Police, Law Enforcement Specialist.

During his term of enlistment, God began to deal with him about answering the call to ministry. After some time he decided to go with his heart. He began to
pray about being released from his enlistment contract. Within 3 days, Curry was called to the C.O’s office, where he was informed that there were too many
Security Police at that time and that he had a choice of either changing fields or receiving an Honorable Discharge with full G.I. benefits. Curry took the latter.
After his discharge, Curry went home to share the news with his father and mother that he was going to preach. When he told them what had happened, his
parents told him how he had been given to God 17 years earlier. He had known about the accident, and how God had delivered him, but he had not known about
his mother’s dedicating him to God. Within 1 year he was married and had a child on the way.

By 1983 Curry and his wife had 3 children. Over the years, God has done many wonderful things in the Blake’s lives. Below are just a few of them.
Curry’s father, Johny F. Blake, has been a Police Officer, Narcotics Detective, Chief of Police, and an Internal Affairs Officer with The State of Texas Department of
Corrections.

Today, Curry’s father is a saved, spirit-filled, man of God.
