Donna Osterhout - She
described her ministry as
· "serving the Lord as his assistant in working miracles. It is
a lot like being a midwife; you
are there to help and be
amazed at new life." Accompanied by her daughter, Joan
Mueller, manager of the
Cokesbury bookstore in Livonia, Osterhout also recalled
her clown ministry and its
reminder that "Christ came
down from the cross and met
people." She also lifted up the
power of prayer and those
times when she felt sustained
by the prayers of people she
didn't even know.
