A GLORIOUS ENDING TO THE ROSARIO CRUSADE

We just finished the Crusade in Rosario Argentina. The Crusade was arranged by my friend Pastor Norberto Carlini and his 6000 member Santuario de Fe Church. I have known Pastor Carlini, a wonderful man of God for over 22 years.

This was a small 5-night crusade held in a field owned by the church in the outskirts of town, but we saw many people come to Jesus, and many people were healed. Deaf ears were opened, blind eyes saw, tumors disappeared. A lady who was dying of cancer, all swollen due to liquid retention in her body, bedridden and unable to walk, was carried to the crusade. Jesus touched her, she stood up, walked, and all the swelling and other outward symptoms disappeared.

Another lady had all kinds of diseases and was unable to walk because of these. She heard me preach on the radio, and got up and walked and was totally healed. She came to the crusade to testify of all that the Lord had done for her.

Another lady testified that she had been unable to walk because her feet and toes were all twisted due to arthritis. Jesus healed her too. We heard many wonderful testimonies this week. All Glory to Jesus!

The mother of a professional Rugby player told me that his career was ruined last year due to a serious knee injury, but God had healed him in our last crusade a year ago, and now he was back playing professionally again in England, and was looking for a church there.

Pastor Carlini told me that a top leader of the Jehovah's Witnesses, overseeing 38 of their Congregations had been Saved at our Crusade and was now in his church.

We give Thanks and Praises to the Lord for the Priceless Privilege of being able to preach the Gospel to the lost. All Glory to Him! I was also able to hold a Leadership Seminar and did teaching on Prosperity and Financial Increase (For those of you who don't know, before I became a Crusade Evangelist, Church planter and Overseer I taught for 4 years at the largest Bible College in Europe! So i enjoy this stuff too! )

Thank you for your love, prayers and support. Do continue to stand with us for this Wonderful Gospel of our Glorious Lord Jesus!

In Christ, your brother,

ROSARIO CRUSADE - FIRST NIGHT

What a service tonight! It was the first night. There was a really heavy thunderstorm storm last night, so things were late being set up and everything got delayed

Because of this the crowd was small on this first night, but I was amazed to see the response to the Gospel message. Many came to receive Jesus. The Lord confirmed His word with good and powerful miracles.

Three people with very bad sight were healed (one could only see blurs). 3 had their deaf ears opened. A young man was healed from a speech impediment

One lady came to the crusade that she could not walk but she listened to me preach over the radio and after we prayed on the radio she got up and walked! At the crusade the Lord opened her deaf ear.

A kid had a large tumor on his foot saw it disappear. Some testified of other things.... All Glory to our Lord Jesus!
My friends and fellow RHEMA Grads Gary and Amy Hector who minister here and are doing a great job are a great help and blessing to me. Amy is my interpreter this week.

She could not walk and had a host of other diseases. Jesus healed her when she listened to me preach over the Radio.

He had a large tumor on his foot that disappeared after prayer.

She had very bad eyesight and saw only blurs. Jesus gave her perfect sight!

A GREAT WAY TO START THE YEAR... WITH SALVATION AND MIRACLES

I am in Buenos Aires with my sons Immanuel and Gabriel. Had a wonderful day. It is the first Sunday of the year and it has been a great day!

Many people Saved, at least 8 deaf ears opened, around 8 with blind eyes or with very bad eyesight healed. One man who could not walk got up and walked. Many others who were healed shared their testimonies. What a great start for this year! It is so wonderful to serve Jesus!

All Glory to our Lord Jesus!

On Tuesday we fly to Rosario to our crusade there until next Sunday. Then back home for two days and then my daughter Victoria and I fly to Sweden for 10 days of ministry... preaching in churches and teaching at a Bible School.

We ate great good today! Codero Patagonia (Lamb), Bife de Lomo (Beef Filet), Mollejas (Sweetbreads), Asage del Tire (Short Ribs), Provoletta (Grilled Provolone with Herbs), Empanadas, Fresas Fresca Con Crema (Fresh Strawberries with Cream).

It has been a great day in Buenos Aires. Praise the Lord!

LET US GO INTO 2010 FULL OF FAITH, FIRE AND HE ANOINTING OF THE HOLY GHOST!

The end of the year 2009 is here and I am glad to be able to say that it has been a good and blessed year for us.

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

ZIMBABWE VICTORY - NKULUMANE CRUSADE THURSDAY 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!

Our Gospel Crusade in Nkulumane continues. God is pouring out His Grace in a wonderful way as the Gospel is being preached. Every night we are seeing masses of people receiving Jesus. Many have been healed from different kinds of diseases and infirmities. Blind and deaf people have been healed. People who have difficulties moving and walking have run and danced, and many others have testified of the things that the Lord has done for them. My friend Evangelist Stefan Edefors from Sweden has been helping by sharing the preaching with me at the Crusade.

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

VICTORY – NKULUMANE 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
