THE LORD DELIVERED US FROM DEATH YESTERDAY. PRAISED IS HIS NAME FOR EVER!
THE LORD DELIVERED US FROM DEATH YESTERDAY:
"The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them". Psalm 34:7
My wife Britta, our two younger children Victoria and Gabriel, and I were traveling in a rented Volvo 70S on the E-4 European Expressway in the North of Sweden. We were going up to Lulea where my wife grew up. Traveling Northbound at about 65 miles an hour, I lost control of the car. I do not remember exactly what happened, but eyewitnesses say that the car went across the Southbound lanes, hit the guardrail on the other side, flipped over, rolled around and landed on it's roof.
I remember shouting "JESUS!" and Britta and our children doing the same. The kids were the first ones out of the car, and they pulled my wife out. I was on the other side and the door was jammed and I could not get out. The car was upside down and I could smell gasoline fumes. The next thing I knew, I was standing outside the car on the road.
Many cars and a DHL truck stopped, and the people were all running towards us to help us. Within 30 seconds, before anyone could reach us, we were all out of the wreck with just a few bumps, bruises and small cuts.
Flames were coming out of one corner of the upside-down car, and the DHL truck-driver brought a fire extinguisher and put the fire out. EMS, Firemen and the Police all came to help. Everybody, including the many Good Samaritans who had stopped, were very kind and helped us. Except for my son's Gabriel's spectacles, we lost nothing at all.
We were taken to a modern hospital in the nearest city 70 kms away, and the doctors checked us, took X-Rays, CAT Scans and Blood tests, and finally released us with a clean bill of health. Thank the Lord for the World-Class Medical facilities available in Sweden! The hospital staff also went out of their way to put us at ease.
Everybody, including the EMS Paramedics said that this was a miracle. We are thankful to the Lord for all that He has done for us. This accident could have easily had fatal consequences, but the Lord saved us. We were inches and seconds from death but the Lord delivered us!
Praise the Lord for His Goodness and His Mercy! Hallelujah!
We rented another car and drove almost 475 kms today up to Lulea. On the way we stopped and ministered to friends of ours for a few hours.
Thank you Lord Jesus!
There are several things that I would like to share with you:
1. In our family we all have a habit of praying and pleading the Blood of Jesus every time we drive our cars. This is a habit that brings Protection!
2. Your life can be taken away from one moment to the next. Never take things for granted but ALWAYS Trust in the Lord in all things. Live as close to Jesus as you possibly can!
3. Always wear your Seat Belt, including passengers in the back!
4. Always Observe Speed Limits.
5. Never drive when you are tired or when your concentration is not sharp.
And most of all, TRUST ALWAYS IN JESUS!

SETTE DE SETEMBRO CRUSADE, MOCAMBIQUE
Good first night. It stopped raining just before the service. Many people saved and healed. Several deaf ears opened. One was deaf in his ear since birth. A lady with partial paralysis in her legs ran and jumped. A young man with a dislocated knee ran perfectly. Others testified also. All glory to our Lord Jesus! I am going to let some of my team preach on different nights.

AFRICAN PENTECOST! CHAWAMA CRUSADE ENDS.
We just finished the Chawama Crusade. A huge multitude had gathered tonight - the final night of this crusade. Tonight was Holy Ghost Night: we usually pray for people to receive the Baptism with the Holy Ghost and Fire on the final night of every crusade.
I preached tonight about the Blood of our Lord Jesus. I always do this on Holy Ghost night because I know that the Blood always brings down the Glory. God always answers the Blood with Fire! In the Bible the Fire of God never fell upon dry altars, but always upon Blood-soaked altars. If we want the Fire of God to fall, we must make much of, sing, shout and preach about the Cross and the Blood of our Lord Jesus!
The response to the altar call for Salvation was fantastic. The whole field, and even people standing across the field, wanted to receive the Lord Jesus.
After that the Fire of the Lord fell with Pentecostal Power. Thousands upon thousands were Baptized with the Holy Ghost and with Fire. Beautiful, tear-stained African faces turned up towards Heaven, worshiping God in other tongues, their shouts and praises ascending to the very Throne of God. The Lord responded by unleashing Wave upon Wave of his Glory upon the gathered multitude. All the way to the back of the huge crowd, the whole field seemed ablaze with the Fire of God.
Then The Lord healed the sick and the infirm. Deaf ears were opened, people's eyes were healed, tumors disappeared.... one lady testified that a huge fibroid tumor the size of an orange had completely vanished from her as Jesus touched her. Another young girl, crippled and unable to walk was carried in on a wheelbarrow; Jesus touched her and she walked and danced upon the platform, pushing her wheelbarrow in front of her as the crowd cheered shouted with boundless joy. Yet another young man paralyzed and unable to walk, got up and walked....
My dear friend Pastor John Nuzzo stood alongside me. I am glad that he could see the fruit of all the generous support that his church has been giving us all these years.
Such was the end of this crusade. This week we have been up on the mountaintops of victory, but also in the valley of sorrow at the death of the son of our brother Pastor Zulu. Yet we know in all things that our Lord is Faithful. Pastor Zulu's son is in Heaven with Jesus. Especially poignant for me is the fact that Pastor Zulu was Saved at one of our crusades here in Zambia many years ago. There are so many Pastors and Evangelists in Zambia and Zimbabwe who received Salvation in our Crusades through the years. It is a privilege to serve the Lord alongside them, even to weep with them and share their victories and even their sorrows.
Thank you for your love, your faithful giving, for joining your faith with us!
Please pray for safety my family, myself and also for my team as they travel back to Zimbabwe. I fly to Europe to preach to weeks in Sweden and Portugal. My daughter Victoria is joining me for these two weeks!

TRAGEDY IN THE MIDST OF VICTORY!
We saw a wonderful Harvest of Souls tonight. A Deaf-mute girl heard and spoke for the first time in her life, a boy totally blind in one eye saw perfectly. A lady who was mute spoke, deaf ears were opened and more.....
We ended a successful Pastor's Conference today with Pastor John Nuzzo.
A great tragedy also took place at the crusade. Immediately after one of the crusade services one night, a fight broke out between some people. A 21 year old son of Pastor Zulu (a friend of our ministry who had received Jesus in one of our Crusades many years ago) tried to intervene and was stabbed by one of the men. He died immediately.
This is all so very sad! Pastor John Nuzzo, Pastor Mavondo and I visited the family to pray with them. The sound of people crying in sorrow in that house broke our hearts.
Such are the places we preach the Gospel in. Where sin abounds, there Grace much more abounds.
Please pray for Pastor Zulu and his family!
We have one more night to go here in Chawama.
In Christ,
