Greetings in the Name of Jesus Who loved us and gave Himself for us, not for our sins only but the sins of the entire world. We trust each and every one of you have had a blessed July 4th Holiday! What a wonderful time to be serving God. We are promised that in the last days God will pour out His Spirit upon all flesh. I sincerely believe we are living in that time. The Scripture speaks to us in Ephesians 1:10 "That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together all things in Christ." I have never seen a such a hunger for Christ. We are receiving invitations on average every two days to minister in Pakistan and India. A Bishop in Malawi has over 40 pastors that are pleading for us to come there and minister to start a school of ministry there. The pastors there have called a 40 day fasting and prayer for revival in Malawi that souls will be saved and believe that the message of Christ will heal their land. Truly as the prophet Isaiah has spoken "those who have been in darkness have seen a great light, they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death upon them has the light shined (Isaiah 9:2)! With all the violence in north Africa we know the time is right for God to step in on the scene and the gospel to be shared in Libya, Tunisia, and other countries previously hostile to the gospel.
Reports are coming in from Sudan and Uganda of revival and souls being saved. A testimony from the time of ministry in Sudan is that "we have heard the message, we tested it, and we are ready for the school that is taught." Since May 24th nearly 60,000 people have been displaced and are refugees by the violence. The independence of southern Sudan is scheduled for July 9th and we are praying for a peaceful independence day for that country. We are moving forward with beginning the first school in that country in the next two months, Lord willing.
Our last report from Uganda was that the river of God was flowing in Jinja, and people were being healed, saved, and delivered! This sounds so much like Ezekiel's vision in chapter 47 that I could almost see it - Praise and Glory be to God. More than ever before I believe unless the people see Jesus, and hear from God when we preach that we have not ministered.
Since our last letter we have sent two teams back into Sudan, God has opened doors we have registered an official ministry with the Government of South Sudan: helped start a school in Uganda for primary age children, and opened the doors of a church in western Kenya near President Obama's grandmother's home.
Please pray for us during this time that God will lead us and make Christ real through us so that the hungry can be fed, the hearts of the people satisfied, and that the darkness once controlling the lives of the people will be forever scattered by the light of the Gospel. I believe as a river flows - it continually receives -- also continually gives and as Ezekiel saw it brought healing wherever the river went. I pray that God will fill us so with Christ in our hearts that He would flow out to the people and truly will be lifted up that grace and peace would be multiplied in our hearts and in yours! That is what we desire most of all -- we would be wholly submitted to Him.
God bless you, keep you, and cause His face to shine upon you and give you peace.
