Cal Pierce and his wife Michelle grew up in Redding, California where they were members of Bethel Assembly of God Church. Cal served at Bethel as an elder and board member. He says he was "the most bored board member the church had." For 25 years he was stuck in a form of Christianity that denied God's power. In June, 1996 during a service where God moved powerfully, Cal was changed by the power of God. Cal's life has been changed ever since.
Cal, a Real Estate Developer, felt God draw he and his wife, Michelle, north to Washington State in November 1997. "We sold everything, packed up our furniture and moved to Spokane having never been there before. We were not sure exactly what God wanted us to do, so we continued to seek his direction for ministry."
Having studied the revivals, Cal had read about John G. Lake's ministry in Spokane. Cal visited Lake's grave site once each month for over one year to pray.
"On February 28, 1999 I started a 40 day fast. I went to Lake's grave site to pray when I heard God say, 'There is a time to pray, and a time to move.' There was no doubt that God wanted us to re-dig the generational wells of healing in Spokane." Cal called in intercessors and began training up healing teams. On July 22, 1999 the Spokane Healing Rooms were re-opened in the same location they were 80 years ago, and have since moved to two nearby buildings to accommodate the rapid growth of the ministry. The ministry now has an international impact.
Cal is Director and Michelle is Co-Director of Healing Rooms Ministries. Cal teaches at conferences around the world about the provision Jesus provided in the atonement for our healing. Michelle joins Cal traveling to conferences. In addition, she is an international speaker bringing forth the encouraging and enlightened Word of God.
Cal is also a member of the International Coalition of Apostles (ICA). |

 John G. Lake
John G. Lake was born in Canada in 1870. In his personal account, "Adventures in God," Lake wrote: "As I think back over my boyhood and young manhood, there comes to mind remembrances like a nightmare: sickness, doctors, nurses, hospitals, hearses, funerals, graveyards and tombstones; a sorrowing household; a brokenhearted mother and grief-stricken father, struggling to forget the sorrows of the past, in order to assist the living members of the family who needed their love and care."
In 1908, God sent him to Africa, where he helped to establish over 100 churches. Upon his return to America, Lake came to Spokane, Washington. He rented a suite in the Rookery Building to pray for the sick. It was known as the Healing Rooms. Lake and his assistants, who were known as "healing technicians," prayed for the sick. Over a five-year period, there were over 100,000 documented healings. The U. S. Government declared Spokane the healthiest city in the world.
John Lake was a man of purpose, vision, strength and character. His one goal in life was to bring the fullness of God to every person. He often said that the secret of heaven's power was not in the doing, but in the being. He believed that Spirit-filled Christians should enjoy the same type of ministry Jesus did while living on earth.
Lake's healing and preaching ministry spanned the years from 1898 until his death in 1935.
