KADOMA, ZIMBABWE - VICTORY FOR THE GOSPEL!

KADOMA, ZIMBABWE CRUSADE – THE GLORIES OF CALVARY AND OF PENTECOST!

I just arrived in Sweden after finishing our Ninth Africa Gospel Crusade of the year, held in Kadoma, Zimbabwe.

This was a very successful Crusade with huge crowds coming out to hear the Gospel, and with tens of thousands of people receiving the Lord Jesus as their Lord and Savior every night.

Many wonderful and remarkable things took place during this Crusade. On Saturday for example, it had rained for much of the day and when we had started the service, it began to rain again. In spite of the inclement weather there was great excitement and a huge crowd had gathered to hear the Gospel. As it began to rain, I was concerned about our Sound Equipment (which had been quite damaged by moisture a couple of years ago in Zambia after we went on with a service in pouring rain) and decided to cancel the service.

As Pastor Mavondo, our Director of Ops in Africa, picked up the microphone and began to make the announcement the crowd began to shout. “NO! NO! PREACH ABOUT JESUS!”….. the announcement turned into a loud forceful prayer and a command to the rain to stop…… as the people (mostly non-Christians!) shouted, prayed and yelled….….and the rain suddenly stopped! So we went on and had a powerful service.

I was humbled and felt small because I realized that everybody else’s faith was greater than mine, and yet I was the one there whom God in his Great Mercy had chosen to preach the Gospel with Signs Following.

That night we saw many remarkable miracles and two very special ones. One was a young man who was born deaf and mute; Jesus touched him and he spoke and heard for the first time in his life. The other was a blind and paralyzed man who was carried to the crusade by his family and laid down upon the ground. He had been totally blind for many years and had been unable to walk for about 3 years. Jesus touched him, and he stood up and walked, he could also see perfectly….. you should have seen this man dancing and praising God! I am posting both these videos on Youtube and on Facebook.

Every night we were blessed to see huge multitudes of people receiving Jesus (There were also these little things that touched me, like one night when we were singing and worshiping a man came out of the crowd saying that he wanted to be Saved right there and then!) God also confirmed His Word with many Signs, Wonders and Miracles. Every night we saw deaf people receive their hearing. Blind people received their sight. Large tumors disappeared from people’s bodies, one of being a little girl who had a huge tumor as large as a woman’s breast hanging from her tummy. The thing disappeared instantly leaving behind a faint mark like a bruise where it once had been! We also saw lame and crippled people stand up and begin to walk.

The on the last night the Holy Ghost fell with Pentecostal Power, with thousands Baptized with the Holy Ghost and with Fire. People worshiping God in other tongues, shouting, praising….. some falling to the ground under the mighty Power of God….

For all this, we give all Glory Honor and Praise to our Lord Jesus, who Alone is Worthy. What a privilege it is to preach His Wonderful Gospel.

“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.

For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life”. (2 Corinthians 2:14-16)

Thank you for your generous financial support that enables us to preach the Gospel; For your Love and your prayers!

In Christ

GLENVIEW CRUSADE ENDS - BACK HOME FROM AFRICA

Our Crusade in Glenview ended last Sunday, and I returned home a couple of days ago. We are thankful to the Lord for all that He has done..... the large Harvest of Souls that we could bring in for His Glory, the wonderful Miracles of Healing and Deliverance, the thousands Baptized with the Holy Ghost and with Fire on the last night of the Crusade.

For this we give Him all the Glory, Honor and Praise, because He Alone is Worthy!

Now I am home for a few weeks before I head for Africa again. I shall minister for my friend Pastor Edwin Anderson in High Springs FL, then in Chatham Ontario in Canada for Pastor Bill Pipke. Finally for Pastor Ron Johnson in Orlando FL followed by two days at the Penn-Del District of the Assemblies of God (to which I belong) at our Minister's Enrichment Retreat.

I then fly to Africa, back to Zimbabwe for two Crusades in October in the towns of Chegutu and Kadoma, along with a School of Ministry for Pastors and a Businessmen's Seminar.

Please do uphold us in your prayers! Thank you for your love, prayers and support!

In Christ

GLENVIEW ZIMBAWE CRUSADE - HOLY GHOST POWER MOVING IN OUR MIDST!

We are halfway through our Crusade in Glenview, Zimbabwe. The Lord is doing great things here in our midst!

The days are very warm here but the temperature drops sharply at sunset so the evenings have been quite chilly. In spite of the cold weather multitudes are coming out to hear the Gospel and are receiving the Lord Jesus.

We are also seeing the Lord pour out His Grace with signs, wonders and miracles. Every night we have seen deaf ears opened. We have also seen tumors disappearing, one of these cases was a lady who had a huge tumor in her throat that prevented her from being able to speak. She was scheduled for surgery on September 24th and the tumor would be removed. But Jesus healed her. The tumor disappeared and she began to speak perfectly!

Last night a young girl who was demon possessed, paralyzed, unable to walk and unable to speak was carried in by her family. Jesus set her completely free. She walked, ran and spoke perfectly! All Glory to Jesus!

What a Mighty God we serve! What a Wonderful Savior! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Glory be to His Name for ever!

Thank you for your love, support and prayers!

In Christ

THE MBARE CRUSADE CONTINUES WITH POWER!

The Mbare crusade continues with the power of God flowing every night. Thousands are receiving the Lord Jesus every night, and God is confirming His Word with Signs, Wonders and Miracles.

So far we have seen many deaf ears opened, eyesight healed including a boy who could see only dimly for about 4 feet and was otherwise blind.... we saw how the Lord gave him perfect sight! A lady who could barely walk and limped along very slowly ran for joy. Another young man whose knee was useless and he would fall down every couple of steps was totally healed. Many others have testified of different things that the Lord has done for them.

One delightful thing for me after tonight's service was to see Charmaine. She was a little girl who came to our last Crusade here in Mbare 2 years ago, blind and demon-possessed (I will give her story in detail in our October Newsletter). I cast the demons out of her and she received her sight. She came to the meeting tonight, happy and following Jesus. What a joy to see her tonight (See photo).

Thank you for your love, prayers and support!

Do continue to uphold us in prayer!

In Christ

SOME THOUGHTS ON ISLAM AND SHARIA - FOR US CHRISTIANS

I grew up as a Muslim. I joined the military at 13. At 17 years of age I saw war and bloodshed and became a combat veteran, and after that my dream was to become what we in my world called a "Freedom Fighter" (a.k.a a "Terrorist").

When I was 21, an Englishman shared about Jesus Christ with me on the street and I received Him as my Lord and Savior. When I look at the attitude of most Christians towards Muslims today, I thank God that Jesus loved me and He sent somebody out to where I was; Not to kill sinners like me, but to preach the Gospel to me.

That Englismman, a son of one of the wealthiest men in England, went out to the streets that day praying and pleading with God for "just one soul for Jesus". I was that one soul!

I was arrested for sharing my Faith in Christ on the streets and spent almost one year in prison. After my release I was threatened with execution if I did not go back into Islam. I finally escaped and after a long journey ended up in Sweden where I received political asylum. Almost 17 years ago my wife, children and I immigrated to the USA.

I preach the Gospel today and plant churches. Around a Million people come to Jesus every year through our crusades and over 1000 churches have been planted. All Glory to our Lord Jesus!

The bottom line is this, that because of the Overwhelming Abundance of Grace that I have received I cannot hate sinners. I cannot hate Muslims and I cannot hate Jews either. God has called us Christians to be Salt and Light in this world. When our minds get so blinded and darkened by Nationalism, Fear or Politics that it even overshadows our passion to reach the lost; When the Love of Jesus for sinners does not consume us, or that the Healing Delivering Power of the Holy Spirit does not flow through us, something is seriously wrong with us as a people.

When our fear or loathing of Islam and Sharia is greater than our desire to take the Gospel to those who are bound by that spirit, something has gone wrong with us!

Let us draw close to Jesus, and remember: "We cannot say that we are fully yielded to God until we begin to count the Eternal Destiny of sinners as being of greater importance than our own comfort in this life"

The Lord Bless us all and Ignite us with Holy Ghost Fire!

In Christ Jesus
