LET US GO INTO 2010 FULL OF FAITH, FIRE AND HE ANOINTING OF THE HOLY GHOST!
Once again, we have seen over a Million people make decisions for Jesus at our altar calls for Salvation. We have planted 10 new churches in Burma, and the 168 churches that we have so far planted there continue to thrive and to grow. We reached the milestone of seeing over 30,000 people receive the Baptism with the Holy Ghost and with Fire at one time in one single service. We saw the lame walk, the blind see, the deaf hear. We also saw the Lord raise a woman from the dead at one of our crusades.
The Lord has been Gracious and Faithful and we have been able to fulfill everything that He told us to do this year. In fact we did much more for the Gospel this year than we did last year.
For this we give all Glory to our Lord Jesus, who alone is Worthy to receive Glory, Honor and Praise!
We are living in tough and difficult times. The truth is that in such difficult times the Lord does not tell us to cut down our vision to match the size of the shrunken economy; On the contrary He bids us to press forwards and to do more for Him than ever before. This is because He is El Shaddai, the God who is “More than Enough!”
The economy has slowed down; but we have seen many of God’s people step up to make even greater sacrifices. Many, in spite of financial fears and difficulties, have reached deeper down in faith than ever before and made great sacrifices to enable us to continue to preach the Gospel to the lost.
To those friends and partners I say, “I am thankful for and commend your love and your faith, that you chose to put the Gospel above all things. Your faith shines as an example to us”. It reminds me of Gideon’s small band who were willing to give their all in the battlefield. Through their Faith and their fearless dedication God did mighty things through that small band that He would otherwise do using a mighty army!
This is the Christmas season. For us this is truly “The most wonderful time of the year”. Christmas in actuality is really about the Gospel because we remember and celebrate how God sent His only Son to the world to save the world.
But is the Christmas Story another beautiful legend or is it reality? If it is reality what does it really mean for us?
I remember my very first Christmas as a Christian. It was December 1975. I had just received Jesus and was eagerly telling everybody I knew about what Jesus had done for me. Because of this I had been confined to an Army Mental Institution. Christmas day came. I had stashed away a little cupcake and a small candle for the occasion. Coming out of Islam and not knowing Christian Christmas traditions, I did the best that I could under the circumstances. On that Christmas morning in the “cage” in which I was locked up, I lit the candle, read the Christmas Story aloud from the Bible and celebrated the Lord’s Birthday with the muffin.
As I bit into the cupcake, suddenly the Presence of God filled the place. Great peace filled my soul. It seemed to me that I was soaring above my circumstances, I was victorious above all things and received an assurance that better days were to come ahead.
Two weeks later I was out of the Mental Institution. I went out on the streets and began to preach the Gospel. A couple of months later I was arrested and imprisoned for this. The year was 1976 and I spent almost that entire year in prison. Upon my incarceration I was told that I was detained “until further orders” and that I would come out of prison “either as a Muslim or in a coffin”.
I told them that I would rather die there than go back to Islam.
Months passed and one day I sat down and took stock of my situation. There I was, in prison, having lost everything in this world. I asked the Lord, “Lord, I have made many mistakes in my life, and if my faith in Jesus is yet another one of my mistakes, I am the greatest fool of all and have indeed lost everything. So I need to know. I really really need to know….. If Jesus truly is the Son of God, if He is truly risen from the dead, if the Word of God is true, then I have won. I have won eternal life; I have won Heaven! So please God I need to know!”
At that very moment God answered. The Glory of God came into the prison cell. My bed began to shake with God’s Power. The Presence of Jesus filled that place and I heard a voice that said, “I was in prison, and ye came unto me” (Matthew 25:36). I began to weep. That day God circumcised my heart. I knew that Jesus was real. His Word was real. Heaven was more real than earth. The promises of God are more real than the things that we can see.
That day became a turning point in my life. God himself marked and circumcised my heart. Since that day I have known Jesus as a reality, as a person who lives in me and is always with me. I know that the Savior who I serve is far greater than all my circumstances, that His Grace is far greater than my faults and weaknesses. Since that day I have made my share of mistakes but I cannot remember a single day when I have not been On Fire for Jesus. Since that day I have never looked back.
And that is not because of me, but because of Jesus, because of what He has done for me.
Today I live in America, where I am free to worship God, free to preach the Gospel. I travel all over the world telling people about Jesus and people come out in huge multitudes to hear that beautiful Old Story about the Savior. And then God confirms that Message with Signs following, to show the world that Jesus is the Truth, that He is alive today!
Jesus came into our world. He became one of us. He paid the ultimate price upon the Cross. He Rose again from the dead. The Gospel is true beyond truth itself. The Word of God is true. Jesus is real! We are redeemed! We are more than conquerors through Him who has loved us!
So beloved, let us celebrate this Christmas triumphantly! Let us go into the New Year 2010 triumphantly, full of Faith that our God is able to bless us, prosper us and cause us to increase and to abound in all things! This is Harvest time. Joel said “Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe” (Joel 3:13).
Let us Preach this Glorious Gospel! Let us sow! Let us reap! Let us do the work of God with all our hearts! Let us celebrate this season with praises unto God. We are on the winning side and we can never fail, never lose. We are destined to win, to conquer. We are blessed to be blessings wherever we go!
“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place”. (2 Corinthians 2:14)
Have a Blessed Christmas, you and your loved ones. And may 2010 be your best year yet!
In Christ

ZIMBABWE VICTORY - THURS NIGHT
The Wonderful Blessings of God continue in Nkulumane. Tonight the crowd really grew in size and a huge multitude received Jesus. The Lords is continuing to confirm His Word with Signs, Wonders and Miracles.
The outstanding miracle on Wednesday night was a mute boy who spoke. On last night, which was Thursday night a few deaf ears were opened, including that of a man totally deaf in both ears, a totally blind woman received her sight and a lady with a huge lump in her right breast testified how the lump totally disappeared after prayer.
We are also seeing great blessings in our School of Ministry for Pastors, which is being attended by pastors both from our churches and from other denominations. Peter Hasler has been teaching on “The Life of Faith”. I have been teaching on “The Grace of God – Move your Pulpit from Sinai to Calvary!”
Do continue to uphold us in prayer. We have three nights to go in Nkulumane!
Be blessed and abound in all things!

ZIMBABWE BLESSINGS CONTINUE!
We held a Family Fun Festival, with Jumping Castles, clowns, music, dance and singing competitions, Bible Quiz, Children’s Crusade etc. Thousands of children came and were touched by the Spirit of God. Our team and our friends from the US and the Netherlands worked hard and were most effective in reaching the children with the Gospel.
Our Pastors School of Ministry is starting today with Pastors of our AWAKE churches in attendance from Zimbabwe, Mocambique, Botswana and South Africa. My friend Pastor Peter Hasler from Switzerland has flown in to teach at this event.
Please do continue to uphold us in prayer both for the Crusade and for the School of Ministry!
Britta is with me here. We return home next week. At the end of Nov I leave for Indonesia, Burma and Lebanon. Please do stand with us. We need about $15,000 for this upcoming trip. We have poured most of our finances into the Farm and Orphanage Project and need your help with this!
Be Blessed in all things!

ZIMBABWE VICTORY REPORT - NKULUMANE CRUSADE - DAY 2
We have just finished the second night of our crusade in Nkulumane Zimbabwe. The Lord is moving mightily in our midst.
Our biggest challenge was that due to a government directive, we were forced to change our venue just 3 days before the crusade started, from a place right in the town center to a field just outside town.
In spite of this, large multitudes are coming out to hear the Gospel and in these first two nights we have reaped a great harvest of souls for Jesus. The Lord is also confirming His Word with wonderful miracles…. Deaf ears opening… crippled and paralyzed people healed. A lady whose feet were twisted in two directions and who could not walk began to run and dance praising God, a little baby boy whose arm was fractured was healed; Dr Doug Morrissey who is with us in our team checked and verified it. A lady who was paralyzed in one arm and leg after a stroke danced for joy.
Surely our Lord Jesus is showing Himself mighty in the midst of the people, and He is being greatly glorified. Do remember to continue to uphold us in prayer!
In Christ

LAST NIGHT OF THE MPOPOMA CRUSADE
ZIMBABWE - Powerful ending to the Mpopoma Crusade
We just ended our crusade in Mpopoma, Zimbabwe. The last two nights have been powerful, with thousands coming to Jesus every night and our Lord confirming his Word with Signs, Wonders and Miracles.
In addition to the multitudes of Salvation decisions, we have seen crippled people get up and walk, blind eyes open and deaf ears open. Many were healed on the last night, of which the two most outstanding testimonies were those of a man who was paralyzed after a stroke. Immediately after the mass prayer for God’s healing power to touch the sick he took of running, laughing and rejoicing (See photo). Then a lady came up to testify who had a huge lump/tumor in her left breast. It was so large that it had caused the breast to swell to twice its size. After prayer it disappeared completely and instantly and she could not feel it there anymore (See photo).
At the end the Holy Ghost fell and many were Baptized with the Holy Ghost and with Fire, speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. The crusade finally ended with much dancing, shouting and rejoicing (See photo)
From Zimbabwe I fly to Sweden to do a meeting this coming Tuesday. Then back home to Lancaster on Thursday. Next Sunday-Tuesday I shall minister in Pastor Tim Kutz’s church in Bartlesville, Oklahoma.
I am back again in Nkulumane Zimbabwe for a long 13 day crusade Oct 13-25. People are coming from the US and Europe to attend this crusade. We shall also hold a large 3-day School of Ministry attended by pastors from several different countries. We shall also hold a Businessmen’s Seminar and a Children’s Fun Festival with preaching, ministry and lots of fun activities for children.
If anybody is interested in joining us for these two weeks of ministry in Africa, do write to Elaine at office@pentecostalfire.com
Thank you for your love and your prayers and support!

ANOTHER FANTASTIC NIGHT AT THE MPOPOMA CRUSADE.
POWER OF GOD IN ZIMBABWE! - Mid-Crusade Mpopoma Zimbabwe
The Lord is moving mightily amongst us in the Mpopoma Crusade. Thousands are coming to Jesus and we are seeing the Power of our Lord Jesus manifested through signs, wonders and miracles. Many people are lining up to testify every night of all the wonderful things that the Lord is doing for them. Another astounding thing is the large number of Pastors coming from all over to witness the crusade.
There is a Spirit of Revival here. Jesus is being exalted by the people even in the streets of Mpopoma.
Our three day Pastors School of Ministry just ended with our Pastors attending from Zimbabwe, South Africa and Botswana. They have gone back to their churches excited about the things that the Lord is going to do in their churches.
I visited our Farm in Kadoma. We have a good team there. Our new Borehole/Well has been dug. Soon we shall be plowing, disking and sowing (using rental equipment) in 250 Acres of our land. This would be a good place for us to start. The total cost for bringing 250 Acres under cultivation is $55,000 which includes rental of tractors and equipment, labor, seed and fertilizer. Of the $55,000 we have $12,000 already; this means that we need $42,000 more by October 1 to get this off the ground.
The quicker we get the Farm going, the quicker we can get the Orphanage going (and the Church-Planting School to!). Right now we have only 11 orphans at the Farm taken care of by the ministry but you will soon see what great things our Lord shall do!
Our friends Archie and Lili Kohr in Rohoboath Beach Delaware are holding a fundraiser to which mostly non-Christians are coming. It is amazing to see how non-Christians are showing an interest in this Farm and Orphanage Project. We need more Christians and Churches to step up too!
Thank you for joining your Faith with us. I am excited about all that I see the Lord doing around us.
We have two more nights left of the Mpopoma Crusade, and I am believing God for a huge harvest of souls by the time we leave this place!
In Christ

A WONDERFUL SECOND NIGHT AT THE MPOPOMA CRUSADE
Monday, September 7, 2009
MZILIKAZI CRUSADE ENDS WITH SIGNS, WONDERS AND A HARVEST OF SOULS!
The Mzilikazi Crusade just ended with powerful manifestations of the Lord’s Presence and Power. As I had mentioned in my last report, it was a small crusade because we were in between the two worst places for violent crimes in Bulawayo, and people were very afraid to venture out of their homes after dark. Added to this was the very cold weather in the evenings. In spite of these factors we saw thousands of people come to Jesus and many Baptized with the Holy Ghost on the last night. We saw criminals try to disrupt the crusade, but we warned and dealt very strongly with the troublemakers. One man came armed and attacked one of our workers, but our team subdued him very quickly, disarmed him and handed him to the police. It turned out that this man was part of an extremely violent gang and was wanted for many crimes! The police were most grateful. Unfortunately, there was no reward for turning him in (just kidding…… I do much better as a preacher than a bounty hunter!)!!!
We saw the Lord do many miracles in the last three evenings since my last report……..
An 18 year old girl who was born deaf and mute was brought to the crusade. Jesus touched her; she began to hear and to speak, repeating what I spoke. The crowd erupted into cheers, shouting and praising God.
A young woman who had a stroke and was brought paralyzed in her left arm and leg. Our Lord Jesus touched her and she was healed. Then there was a blind lady who received her sight. A young girl who was “almost” totally blind (she would be called “legally blind” in the US) also received her sight.
Several others who were more or less crippled and could not move or walk without support/help ran and danced for joy. One young men had been paralyzed in his right leg because of cancer in that leg. God healed him. He leaped, ran and danced for joy! Many deaf ears were opened, a lady testified that a large tumor in her hand had instantly and totally disappeared. There were many other outstanding miracles that are too numerous to report here.
All Glory to our Lord Jesus! What a Wonderful Savior we serve! Let us stay close to Him, Love Him, follow Him and serve Him with all our hearts! Hallelujah!
Do pray for our next Crusade and School of Ministry for Pastors in Mpopma Township starting this Wednesday!

SIGNS AND WONDERS IN MZILAZI ZIMBABWE
The Mzilikazi crusade is on. The crusade is actually being held at the junction of Mzilikazi and Makokoba, two of the “worst” townships in the Bulawayo Area when it comes to violent crime. As a consequence, people are afraid to leave their homes at night. This crusade therefore is not as large as some of our other crusades, but in a sense it is very important because people here badly need the Gospel. This is the first ever large Gospel Outreach in this area.
Thousands of people have heard the Gospel and have received our Lord Jesus as their Lord and Savior. In addition to this we are seeing the Lord do many wonderful miracles in our midst. In these two nights we have seen four crippled people get up and and walk. One of these was a lady who had been bound in a wheelchair for 5 years. When the Power of God touched her, she stood up from her wheelchair, began to walk and then to dance and rejoice to the cheers of the crowd. Another man had become crippled after a medication that he had been given for treatment from another disease went wrong. He had been crippled and unable to walk for two years. Jesus healed him and he ran and danced.
We have seen a good number of deaf people receive their hearing. Some with severely impaired eyesight have received their sight and many others have testified of other miracles that the Lord had done for them. One lady had her right arm useless and paralyzed for many years and the Lord healed her.
Do keep us in prayer and stand in faith with us for a great harvest of souls for Jesus!
In Christ Jesus

IMPORTANT REPORT FROM OUR ZIMBABWE FARM AND ORPHANAGE PROJECT
I am sharing here with my Facebook friends a VERY IMPORTANT Report. It is the latest on our Farm, Orphanage and Church-Planting School project in Zimbabwe.
Aaron Zimmerman, a full-time farmer here in Lancaster PA where I live, visited our Farm and inspected the place in detail. He has written a very good short Report from his viewpoint as an experienced professional. I am attaching his report for you to read. Please read it carefully; I am open to any feedback or input that you have.
AARON ZIMMERMAN'S REPORT:
I talked with different people in my travels and it looks like it is a new day in Zimbabwe. The testimonies I heard in South Africa and on the plane was that Zimbabwe is full of great potential and good people. After meeting Pastor Mavondo, Pastor Christopher Alam’s Director of Operations in Africa, I can feel confident that he is a good man of integrity and that his knowledge in agriculture and his excitement for the Farm, Orphanage and Church=Planting School ministry will bring successes. The soil is very hard thus requiring large equipment but I saw nearby farms there that have irrigation and the crops are good. The economy is looking better, the stores have stock again and they now work with US dollars.
Equipment:
Tractors and Farm Equipment are cheaper to buy in neighboring South Africa, and there are no Importation or Customs taxes in crossing the border. There are good maintenance service facilities in Zimbabwe to do repair work. Just stay away from equipment that is computer controlled.
In South Africa there has been a shakedown in Agriculture. They have gone down from 80,000 farms to 20,000, so this has put some equipment on the market. It costs $2500 to truck equipment from South Africa to Zimbabwe. I gave Pastor M. some dealer magazines that I picked up in South Africa. I recommend that he or someone that he trusts go and buy what they need. Pastor Mavondo seemed to know and to understand farming equipment.
In South Africa I found a John Deere dealer, AFGRI, www.afrgi.co.za . They seemed very professional, friendly and helpful and they are part of a network of 80 dealerships. They can provide parts and would be good guys to deal with. I have several photos of their large inventory.
Wells:
Irrigation Boreholes/Wells are needed for irrigation purposes. There are 3 existing boreholes but they have only 2” pipes and are good for gardening only.
Gold Mining:
There are 64 men that are working in the mines. Some have had to stop due to the water in several of the mines and in others hitting hard rock. There they need a jack hammer and some explosives.
They hit water in three of the eight mines where they are digging for gold and this needs to be pumped out before these 3 can go on mining. This should be pumped into a reservoir for irrigation use. Just pumping it out on the land will only create wet spots that will become waste land and it is very likely that the other mines will produce water also. For this water pump is needed urgently.
The wages system is structured that the miners get 50% of the income minus the costs of equipment and hauling to get ore to the processing system, leaving them with about 20-30%.
I recommend that money be sent to buy water pumps, compressors, jack hammers explosives and a means to reserve water ASAP.
Seed etc:
Farmers can’t get loans so many are planting less acres thus making the seed supply plenteous. Less acres means less grains at the end of the season which should help to keep grain prices high and storage space at the mill should not be a problem. The place grain would be unloaded is around 2-3 miles from fields. Grain is mostly bought by the government but also privately owned mills and so on, this should help to keep prices strong. Barley $600, corn $800, and soy $800-1000 per metric tons.
Management:
There are I think 5 people on the board or management team and all have extensive experience the departments that they are to oversee. Pastor Mavondo gave up his right hand equipment driver from his own farm for this project. This man was trained to be an equipment dealer and I am confident after watching him operate some of the equipment that he will take good care of anything sent there. There is also a team of 16 men on security most of them wear more than one hat.
Gold Separating site:
They should be ready in about a week or less to start. There could be some unforeseen things to work out. The men have been digging for 3 weeks and have a pile of ore ready.

A FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY IN ZIMBABWE! - LATEST NEWS ON THE AFRICA FARM PROJECT
Greetings in Jesus Name!
As you have heard, AWAKE Churches of Africa have come under our ministry. So I along with my leadership team now oversee over 100 churches in Zimbabwe, Mocambique, Botswana and South Africa. AWAKE Churches have also brought with them a huge Farm of 400 Hectares (1000 Acres) which they had purchased 18 years ago. It has been lying idle for years, but now we can do something with it! We want to grow food in it and start an Orphanage and a one-year Church-Planting School that would be supported by the income from the Farm. The Zimbabwe government likes our idea and have offered us THREE Farms for similar projects! I have, however, said that we want to do this one first before taking on any more such projects.
Our Farm in Zimbabwe is 400 Hectares (1000 Acres), of which 650 Acres are ready for tilling. The food situation in Zimbabwe is very dire, and I want our farm to be fully productive as soon as possible. I have in Zimbabwe a team of experienced agronomists with farming experience (from our churches) who are excited and ready to run this project. I also have an “Advisory Team” of agronomists here in the US to advise us.
If we were to bring the WHOLE FARM under cultivation in this coming sowing season in October, what we would need is US$370,000 right now.
US$ 200,000 For Tractors, Combines, Spreaders, Plows etc
US$ 70,000 for Boreholes wells and irrigation pipes. They cost US$ 10,000 each
US$ 100,000 for seed, fertilizers and build basic infrastructure on the Farm.
Once the farm becomes productive, we can go on to build the Orphanage and the Church Planting School.
But realistically, it is too short time for us to get these funds, so we want to do as much as we possibly can with whatever funds we can get by October!
I already have US$ 10,000 set aside for 1 Borehole Well and Irrigation pipes.
The good news is that we have gold in the land. This has been verified by Government Mining Experts who have come and inspected the farm. Our Farm is right in the middle of Zimbabwe’s “Mineral belt”. Another good thing is that the gold deposits are not too deep in the earth. We do not have to dig far to get it!
For around US$20,000 We can get the necessary equipment and begin to mine the gold immediately. The profits from the gold will go straight into the Farm so that we can start farming in October. We can rent tractors etc for the time being until we get our own equipment.
The quicker we start farming, the quicker we can go on to build the Orphanage and the Church-Planting school. God is telling us to dream big and to expect great things from Him! We shall win souls and plant churches all throughout the Southern and South-Central African region. We shall feed the poor and feed the needy!
Whatever you could help us with would be a blessing to us. The more help we can get, the more we can do for the Kingdom of God. So please join your heart and your faith together with us!
Also note that this does not in any way infringe upon our primary calling to win souls for Jesus. Our Gospel Crusades continue with undiminished zeal, passion and vision to reach the lost with the Gospel of our Lord Jesus!
With much love, in Christ
Your brother

THE FIRE OF GOD BLAZES IN ZIMBABWE!
The field was packed with a huge multitude of people. I preached from 1 Jn 3:8 about Lord Jesus’ death upon the Cross and His total victory over the devil. As I preached, demons began to manifest. Demon-possessed people began to scream and run around like madmen all over the field. One of them even climbed up to the platfirm like a monkey. My team took hold of them and began to cast the devils out of them.
When I finished preaching and gave the altar call, a huge multitude responded and received the Lord Jesus. Then it was time for the Baptism with the Holy Ghost and with Fire. The Holy Ghost fell upon the crowd with violent power. People were falling, shouting, jumping….. the praises of God in other tongues rose to the heavens like a mighty roar from the crowd. God sent even more fire; it was as if the whole field was ablaze with the Glory of God. During this time there were troublemakers way back at the rear of the crowd who were knocked down to the ground and demons began to come out of them…..
After that many people were healed. Deaf ears opened, tumors disappeared, paralysis, eyes, arms, legs, backs etc healed by God’s power.
The crusade ended with tens of thousands of people singing, dancing and praising God with all their might. It was revival!
After the meeting ended three senior nurses from the local hospital came and spoke to us. They said, “When you were here last time, you really cleaned up the hospital; so many of our patients were healed and released when you prayed for them. Ever since that crusade we have had very few patients at the hospital, in fact the general health of the townspeople has been far better. This is the power of the Gospel that has been preached over our town!”
We give all Glory, Honor and Praise to our Lord Jesus for all that He has done. He alone is Worthy!
Do continue to uphold us in prayer as we continue to preach the Gospel of our Wonderful Lord Jesus. I also ask you to pray for Gabriel; this was his last crusade with me and he shall be starting at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh a month from now. I am going to miss him a lot!
Lev 6:13. The Lord bless your home, your church, with Revival and with Fire!
In Christ
Christopher Alam
MIRACLES CONTINUE IN VICTORIA FALLS!
After that the Lord confirmed His Word with Signs, Wonders and Miracles. A man who had become paralyzed, unable to walk and totally deaf in one ear after a stroke began to walk and dance after Jesus healed him from everything! A lady whose left arm had been paralyzed ever since she had been struck by lightning showed how the Lord had given her back full use of that arm. She was totally healed. Then there were deaf people who testified that their ears had been opened. Others came up and testifying of other healings and miracles that the Lord had done in their bodies.
The crowd shouted, rejoiced and danced at each testimony. Pentecostal meetings should be noisy and loud with much praising, shouting, singing and dancing with our Lord Jesus Preeminent in all things; and that is the way it always has been and always is at our Crusades. We are thankful to the lord for this Grace that He has bestowed upon us.
Our AWAKE Pastors at the conference have gone back to their churches inspired and Fired-up. There is great excitement here and we are on the verge of great blessings from God!
I also rejoice and thank the Lord for my friendship with Evangelist Stafan Edefors, a wonderful brother with a large heart for the gospel~
Do continue to uphold us in prayer.
Be Blessed in all things!

CHINOTIMBA VICTORIA FALLS - MID CRUSADE REPORT
I could not write a report earlier because of bad internet connections here in Zimbabwe. We are in the middle of our crusade in Chinotimba Township in Victoria Falls Zimbabwe.
The Lord is doing wonderful things in our midst. The field at the Chinotimba Marketplace is packed with people and we are seeing large multitudes receive the Lord Jesus every night. God is pouring out His Grace and confirming His Word with Signs Wonders and Miracles. The first night we saw a woman who was both deaf and lame get up and walk, waving and thanking God as the crowd cheered her on. Then last night we saw a man in a wheelchair for 7 years get up and walk and dance! In addition to this God has opened blind eyes and deaf ears, one man testified that he had very large tumors and fibroids that disappeared. Many miracles and healings of different kind are talking place. People are also being delivered from evil spirits.
The Crowd has been shouting, dancing and Praising God as they have seen the Miracles of our Wonderful Lord. Surely our Lord Jesus is the Same today!
Evangelist Stefan Edefors from Sweden is with me and we are ministering together. It is wonderful to share the platform with a brother who has the same Spirit and Holy Ghost Fire!
We also just finished meetings with the Regional Leaders of our AWAKE Churches. I ministered on "The Face of Jesus and the Glory the New Covenant" and on "Righteousness". Evangelist Stefan ministered on "God gives seed to the sower". The pastors are inspired, fired-up and excited!
I am also meeting with our team on the Farm Project in Zimbabwe. We have a huge task ahead of us, but the Lord is with us!
This crusade also marks the end of our son Gabriel's year of traveling with me. I am going to miss him; I love him so much, and it is going to be tough for me!
Thank you for your love, prayers and support. The Lord Bless you in all things, with the Fire of His Holy Ghost!

We just ended the Marimba Crusade. The last night’s service was most amazing. A huge multitude heard the Word of God preached from 1 John 3:8 “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil”. The people came under great conviction and we saw the multitude turn to Jesus and receive Him as their Lord and Savior.
After this the Fire of the Lord fell and countless thousands were Baptized with the Holy Ghost and with Fire. It felt like a huge shock-wave hit the gathered multitude, there was an explosive release of Divine Power, and everywhere we looked people were falling, weeping, shaking, shouting in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance; a true manifestation of Pentecost. Even the choir singing on the platform was hit powerfully by the Holy Ghost. It was most amazing to see the way the Power of God moved upon the people.
After that the Lord healed a huge number of people. Blind and deaf people were healed, paralyzed limbs were made whole and large tumors instantly disappeared from people’s bodies. We ended the service by giving thanks and praise to our Wonderful Lord Jesus, who alone is worthy of all Glory, Honor and Praise.
What is privilege it is to serve Him! I often think of how far the Lord has brought me, from so far away out of the world of Islam, "We who were far have been brought near by the Blood of Jesus!". And not only that, but to have the priceless privilege of carrying this Glorious Gospel of Jesus all across the earth and to see Him sending down His Power and His Glory. Wonder of Wonders! what a privilege! Hallelujah to the Lamb who purchased us with His Blood!!
Absolutely priceless!
Do pray for us as we move our truck, vehicles and equipment across the Zambezi River to our next crusade beginning on Wednesday. We shall be in Chinotimba Township in Victoria Falls Zimbabwe. It is going to be a busy week. I shall spend time with the leader of our Farm Project. The Regional Leaders of AWAKE, the Pentecostal denomination that I now lead, are coming for a Conference where I shall be teaching them every morning. Rev Stefan Edefors from Sweden is coming to help me with this. 25 AWAKE pastors are attending. They are coming from Zimbabwe, Botswana, South Africa and Mocambique. From what I hear, revival has broken loose among our churches in Mocambique and our people are planting churches faster than anyone can keep count!
Thank you for your love, financial support and your prayers!
In Christ

THE POWER OF GOD CONTINUES TO MOVE AT THE MARIMBA CRUSADE!
We are seeing deaf ears being opened, blind eyes see and lame people get up and walk. All Glory to our Lord Jesus, who alone is Worthy of Glory, honor and praise!
Our afternoon Children’s crusade led by Janey has been going very well too, with over 1000 children at every service!
Continue to pray for us as we seek a real breakthrough in Marimba!
With much love, in Christ

MARIMBA, ZAMBIA CRUSADE - FIRST NIGHT - A BLAZE OF GOD'S GLORY!
A huge crowd was present and we saw multitudes come under great conviction and receive the Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. After that the Lord confirmed His Word with Signs following: The lame walked (One of these was a little girl who became paralyzed in her legs after her own grandmother cast a spell of witchcraft upon her!), deaf people heard, a blind man received his sight and demon-possessed people were delivered by the Power that is in the Name that is above every Name - The Wonderful Name of our Lord Jesus Christ!
OTHER NEWS. On my way to Africa, Brother William, our Director of Operations in Burma came to see me. Our Training Center for Church Planters is going full-swing. Several of the students are amongst those who were Saved during our relief efforts in the Cyclone-affected areas in the coastal region where over 600,000 died during that terrible catastrophe. One of our students had lost his wife and three children; He sensed the Call of God to leave everything and work full-time for the Gospel, planting a church in an unreached region of his nation.
Back home I often run into people upset at God for things so trivial compared to the loss that this man has suffered. Just imagine! He lost his wife and three children, and instead of being bitter at God he is moving on to lay down his own life to serve Him!
I feel very humbled and most unworthy to lead such dedicated men and women. I am sure that when we all get to Heaven these unsung Heroes of the Cross will shine the brightest, far more than those who wanted to be known as great in this world. I am blessed and humbled to have many people of such high caliber serving under my leadership in our ministry, and they continue to challenge me and my own commitment to our Lord Jesus and to the Gospel that He has entrusted unto us.
Pray for me that my family and I would continue preach the Word and live a life of love and sacrifice in a manner worthy of our Lord Jesus!
Thank you for sowing your finances and prayers into our ministry!
The Lord Bless you
In Christ

Blessings in Uppsala, Sweden!
My beautiful daughter Victoria had flown in from the US to be with us. It was great to see her smiling face greet me at the door when we finally arrived at my friend Joakim's house where we are staying!
7 hours later I was standing preaching in a packed-out Korskyrkan in Uppsala. We had rented the church for this meeting. I have many old friends in Uppsala who wanted me to come and minister to them. That is why I came to Sweden. Faithfulness to one's friends is a most important thing in life.
Leading the worship was Birgitta Svensson, a pastor's daughter and old friend whom I had not seen for over 20 years!
As I looked over the crowd, I saw many old friends who i had not seen for 15-20 years. One was an old lady who was like an "adoptive mother" for me when I was a young refugee in Sweden. I used to go over to her house to eat with her at least twice or thrice a week. I had not seen her for 28 years!
I preached the Word of God to them, basically encouraging them to continue serving Jesus. Three people came forward to be Saved. This may seem nothing compared to the huge harvest that we saw in Africa last week. But in Sweden, three people coming to Jesus is considered to be something big.
After that I called forward those who had calling of God upon their lives but had gotten discouraged or had given up. Many came forward, knelt at the altar and wept. I laid hands on them and prayed for them. Unfortunately, for some reason there are lots of hurting and discouraged people in Uppsala.
Then we prayed for the sick. Several people came for prayer and were healed. One young lady came and testified about something that the Lord had done for her when I was there the last time. She said that she had a brain tumor which the doctors had removed. After the surgery she had lost her ability to read, and had lost her memory. She testified, "After you prayed for me the Lord healed me. That evening I went home and found out that I could read. I stayed up and read 60 pages and then went to sleep. Now my memory has come back and I am totally healed. Praise God!"
Praise the Lord, for He is good and His mercy endures for ever!
Tomorrow we fly to Paris where i minister Fri-Sat-Sun at the Centre Chretien Paris for my friends Pastors Selvaraj and Dorotheé Rajiah. They have a large and vibrant church and it is always a joy to preach there and enjoy fellowship with them!
Be blessed in all things!

MBARE STODDART – FOURTH NIGHT: A RIVER OF SALVATION AND MIRACLES
The power of God touched the people; a huge multitude received Jesus and God did wonderful miracles to confirm His Word…… In addition to people being healed from deafness and from different kinds of infirmities, we had a lady who was blind who received her sight. After Jesus opened her eyes, she went totally wild, dancing, jumping, shouting and praising God. Another lady was crippled and bent over double. Jesus healed her too and she just could not stop dancing!
We all laughed a lot, rejoiced and praised God and enjoyed watching these two ladies on the platform. Both were so caught up in their joy that they just could not stop dancing! They were both quite elderly, but they danced and jumped around like youngsters!
All Glory to Jesus!
Mbare is a high-crime area, and we are seeing a breakthrough. We actually held a crusade here in the past in which two leading crime personalities gave their lives to Jesus. One was a leading drug dealer. The other was a gang-leader. Both are serving God and are in church today. The Gospel with Signs Following gives us great influence, and we must use this influence to draw people to Jesus!
We have one more night to go. Do uphold us in prayer!

MBARE-STODDART THIRD NIGHT
Our God continues to move with His power over the people of Mbare-Stoddart. The crowd grew even more tonight. I preached 1 Jn 3:8 “For this cause was the Son of God revealed, that He might destroy the works of the devil”
The Power of God fell upon the people. A huge multitude received the Lord Jesus. Then the Lord gave great Grace and confirmed the Word with Signs following. Among the outstanding testimonies tonight…. Deaf ears were opened, a young mother whose left hand was paralyzed ever since she was a child was healed. A totally blind lady who was led to the crusade by her daughter received perfect sight. An elderly man who could barely walk with a stick and was totally blind in one eye and almost totally blind in the other was healed…. He danced for joy and smiled like a million Dollars! A lady who could not walk without her crutch dropped it and ran and danced!
The State Run Zimbabwe Television filmed the service tonight and shall be telecasting it nationwide. This way the whole nation shall not only HEAR, but shall also SEE the Gospel with the demonstration of God’s Power!
Surely our Blessed Lord Jesus is the Same today as He was 2000 years ago! Let us give Him Glory, Honor, and Praise for all this. He alone is worthy of Glory, Honor and Praise!
Do continue to uphold us in prayer.
We need your intercession and support so that we can continue to press forward for Jesus!
In Christ

MBARE STODDART SECOND NIGHT – THE BLESSINGS CONTINUE!
God confirmed His Word with His miracle-working power: Demon-possessed people were delivered, deaf ears were opened. A couple of people who had severe deficiencies with their eyesight were healed. A lady whose left arm hung paralyzed and useless for years was healed by God’s power. Others testified of different kinds of diseases and infirmities that the Lord healed them from.
Yesterday I reported about a 13 year-old girl from last night, Charmaine, who began to hear demonic voices and became demon-possessed and totally blind. We cast the demons out of her and she got her sight back….. well, she came to see me all happy and praising God! We took a nice picture of her standing with me and smiling.
Praise the Lord for His Mercy! Do uphold us in prayer as we continue to preach the Gospel to bring in a great harvest of souls for our Lord Jesus!
In Christ
