Witness with your own eyes God’s Authentic Healing Power!
Where?
KPTV, Sunday, at midnight!
Coburn blew through Portland in August 1974, performing at the Paramount Theater on Broadway. According to the ad, his Deeper Faith Crusade claims that “thousands have experienced documented physical healings.”
I’m obviously making the part up about the used car salesman – then again, his whole shtick seems to be based on hucksterism. Thin line, folks.
From The Oregon Journal, August 9, 1974.

I was healed of kidney disease at a Vic Coburn crusade when I was 7 years old. They told me I would be on a kidney machine by the time I was 9. That was 35 years ago. I am still as whole as I was that night. You may not like the hair or the “schtick” — but trust me the healer is God and you’d be surprised at what He can do!

I was there at the Vick Colburn meeting in Portland too at age 15, and saw my mom healed of acute spinal rheumatoid arthritis. The doctor said she was going to be in a wheelchair in 1 year. Well, it’s been 38 years later and no more symptoms since then. The calcium deposites on the spine disappeared! And we came from a sceptical background of a certain Baptist varity before we came. Needless to say we switched to a Full-Gospel church that believed and preached what the Bible says about healing. The key is to go where the anointing and the presence of God is- as in the Benny Hinn meetings. I’ve witnessed true healings of ones I knew personally there too- and all they did was attend the meeting, and they were healed while just sitting in their seats- no one touched them, it was a atmosphere of praise and worship and faith- life changing! But, getting back to Vick Colburn’s meeting, I was close to the platform in the audiance and witnessed up close divine healing of a boy with a curled up withered and short arm, Vick prayed once and the arm grew several inches before our eyes to meet the length of the other normal arm. Then he said “let’s pray again for this arm to be made completely whole” -as the arm was still skinny. It filled out before our eyes with new flesh and muscle to match the other arm. Then another older man had visible cancer that covered half the outside of his cheek, and after Vick prayed we saw the cancer leave completely and regular new skin replaced it. Then another healing I remember was a 12 year old boy who was deaf and dumb, and his very first words after being prayed for were; “Jesus I love you”, and his ears were divinely opened also and he could hear. I was also healed of cronic back problems from; sports injury, getting bucked off a horse, and backpacking with too heavy a backpack – I had severe pain and spasms. Well, after being prayed for, I have never had anymore of those back problems again. And I am now 50 years old. Not a back track record for the Love of Jesus shown to me and to a lot of people! There was a pile of canes and a lot of wheel chairs left on the stage that night also- many people healed and walking again!
Praise God- he loves you too and cares about you, and made you, has a plan for your life. Just ask Jesus to come into your heart and be your Lord and Saviour, ask for forgivness of sins, and heaven will be your home some day. Get rooted in a Bible based church. After reading many life after death books, including my grandmother being clinically dead, and seeing heaven, loved ones who had gone before her, and Jesus, and coming back to life to tell of it- it really is a blessing to know heaven is real. But I know of people who have been clinically dead and died, and went to hell, but came to life to tell of it- hell is real, and they found out, and were given a second chance- and they took it- it changed their lives completely as they know when they called on Jesus they were brought back from that terrible place, to live a Christian life with Jesus.
Well God Bless You all. Don’t lose or miss what the blessings the Lord has for you!!
P.S. What a divine coincidence, but the next pastor I had, at age 21 in Utah, I found out he told me that he was involved in Vick Colburn’s meetings that I had gone to way back in Portland when I was 15, and he was the guy that was assisting people up the stairs to meet Mr. Colburn and be prayed for. He said only very wonderful things about the man- a true faith healer-just a vehical for God’s power to flow through. The glory goes to God, not to man. Man has no power, he is just the conduit. We called ourselfs “Bapticostals” after that night! (hehe!)

I was at a Vic Coburn crusade in Tacoma circa 1972. He could really dramatize the crucifixion and explain what Jesus did for us in a way I have never heard since.
Whatever became of Vic? I saw his name listed in the book “All Things Are Possible,” but have not heard anything more about him.
