July 2010

 

Dear Friends,

 

“Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city.”

·         Acts 8:5-8

 

 

As I stated at the beginning of the last month’s letter, the Power of God in demonstration is needed in this day and hour like never before. The Church World, as well as the world-at-large, needs to see a manifestation of the presence of God; because the only true way to change the mindsets of people is to bring them into a new reality: A new Kingdom of God reality. This Holy Spirit revelation was proved out during last month’s Malaysia ministry trip, where the ministry program was organized by the Full Gospel Businessmen’s Fellowship of Malaysia. The FGBF-Malaysia is the spiritual backbone of the Christian Church in this Muslim-dominated nation; and I have a 15 year relationship with the organization which started during my first years of full-time ministry after graduation from JSMI Bible School.

The power of God in demonstration during an

FGBMF business evangelistic banquet dinner

 

During the one week trip, I and my spiritual son, Tahir Rafiq, GJITCM-Pakistan Country Director who accompanied me, saw the power of God in awesome demonstration during a program of 4 businessmen’s evangelistic banquet dinners, 1 businessmen’s evangelistic lunch, a pastor faith seminar, FGBMF chapter meetings and church services: 8 meetings in  6 days. The power of God that destroyed carnal thinking and worldly mindsets, and resulted in new Kingdom of God mindsets that brought about hundreds of salvations, healings and deliverances and the advancement for the Kingdom of God in Malaysia.

 

Teaching on Kingdom principles during the Kuantan Pastor Faith Seminar; with Rev. Tahir Rafiq teaching a powerful message on faith and the power of words. As a result of the seminar, we had

20 new Bond Servants of Christ Ministerial Fellowship members – the first in Malaysia!

 

Changing spiritual mindsets is always difficult when dealing with unbelievers; but when the targets of ministry are successful business people who start off believing they do not need a “Christian god” and who have strong Buddhist, idol worshipping and Hindu beliefs, it makes the task in the natural, extremely difficult – and that is where the Kingdom of God message (the true Gospel message that Jesus taught and preached) and confirming the Word preached with signs, wonders and miracles, brings results that would be otherwise impossible. The one episode that will always stand out in my mind, was during the Kuantan businessmen’s evangelistic banquet, when an idol worshipping businessman first refused to answer the altar call, but during ministry time when the power of God was awesomely being demonstrated, came up in the middle of Holy Ghost power and said he wanted to receive Jesus as Lord – Praise God!

 

It was a higher reality – Kingdom of God reality – that destroyed that businessman’s belief system and worldly carnal thinking, and he saw a power that was greater than any natural or worldly ability. The result was he came running into the Kingdom of God.

 

I tell you my Brothers and Sisters, this is the end-time plan of God…But it is not easy to obtain and it comes at a price of selfless servanthood and willingness to take up your cross daily, as well as a lifestyle of fasting and prayer – I have made the quality decision and I am willing to pay the price; and I am hungry for the Kingdom of God and Holy Ghost IMPACT and RESULTS!

 

What a great time of ministry – I truly believe that this trip ushered GJITCM into a new level of ministry and power that will impact the nations of Asia in a mighty way; and we are already seeing a confirmation of this new ministry open door.

As a result of this powerful ministry trip, I have been asked to participate in the Full Gospel Businessmen’s Fellowship annual Asia conference that is being hosted by the Malaysia FGBF. This Asia regional conference is the largest event of the year, and will take place this month and will have over 500 business people from every nation in the region. The theme of the conference is entitled, “Kingdom Ambassadors in the Market Place”.  What an opportunity to impact the entire region for the Kingdom of Heaven: Only God can do that! When I was asked to participate, my mind immediately went back to Bible school and Dr. Jerry Savelle telling the students that promotion in ministry comes from God; and a man’s gift makes room for him and brings you before great men….It sure has- To God be the glory!

 

Till next time -

You are loved and blessed of God – and by me,

June 2010

 

Dear Friends,

 

“Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city.”

·         Acts 8:5-8

 

 

The Power of God in demonstration is needed in this day and hour like never before. The Church World, as well as the world-at-large, needs to see a manifestation of the presence of God; because the only true way to change the mindsets of people is to bring them into a new reality: A new Kingdom of God reality. It is no longer “good enough” to preach a teaching message in today’s world without a demonstration of the Holy Spirit. Yes, the Word is the Power of God unto salvation (Romans 1:16); but Jesus said that He would work with and confirm the Word with Signs following (Mark 16:20).

 

Great Joy in the City Ministries seeks through pastor faith seminars and evangelistic meetings to follow after Jesus Christ and the Early church of the 1st-3rd centuries, by preaching the message, “Repent, for the Kingdom of God is here”; and to confirm that message with Signs, Wonders and Miracles: And that is what happened during last month’s May India trip!

 

During our India ministry trip that took place in May, we visited the cities of Bangalore and Chitradurga, where we held pastor faith seminars and miracle services. The Power of God flowed mightily during the services; and nearly 2,500 pastors and church leaders, as well as thousands of Believers, experienced the presence of God in a real, powerful and ‘mindset changing’ way.

 

The most powerful testimony came during the Chitradurga meetings. The Chitradurga area is a demonic stronghold, with the region being the last place for practicing Hindu temple prostitution in the country.  During one of the services, a 135 lbs man started to manifest demons. I say “demons” (plural), because the man lifted five of us off the ground while the demonic powers controlled his body. He screamed out at me, “If you think you have the power then cast us out!” Righteous indignation overcame me; and with a charge of Holy Ghost power, within 5 minutes of intense prayer the man let out a scream and the demon left him!

 

Our India trip actually started from the city of Bangalore, where a local pastor funded and hosted a GJITCM “Victory By Faith” pastor faith seminar. We had over 450 pastors and church leaders gathered for the one day seminar. The Kingdom teaching was well received; as I have been led of the Lord over the last year to focus all my teaching seminars and sermons on the Kingdom of God (Heaven). As a result, we produce changed mindsets through the Word taught, and a powerful demonstration of the Holy Ghost confirming the Kingdom to the hearers. We have seen great impact and results from this original Early Church (starting with Jesus) teaching and ministering; and from the all day Bangalore seminar we received 210 new Bond Servants of Christ Ministerial Fellowship (BSCMF) members.

From Bangalore, we travelled four hours by car to the city of Chitradurga to hold a pastor faith seminar and miracle meetings at the church of an Indian spiritual son, Pastor Kouteresh. This young Man of God in his late-20’s, has attended every pastor faith seminar that I have held in the Bangalore-Chitradurga area since 2005. Over the years he has watched God confirm the Word that he learned from my teachings, that has resulted in his pastoring a church of over 7,000 (he testified to me during one lunch that he is setting his faith for 10,000 members in two years time).  Pastor Kouteresh started evangelizing the area back in 2002, and for one year had ZERO results (not one Hindu receiving Jesus as Lord). He was ready to give up, but the Lord told him to stay and he fasted and prayed till Holy Ghost power came to his ministry. His church exploded when he received the truth of the uncompromised Word of God; and not only did his church grow solely by converting Hindus, but the farmers and sheep herders started to prosper and he was able to build a large church (Kenneth Copeland Ministries-Europe generously funded the roof of the church due to the urgency of an impending Monsoon season).

 

We had over 2,000 pastors and church leaders attending the seminar – GJITCM’s biggest seminar ever! The power of God was present throughout the seminar confirming the Kingdom message preached and taught, producing changed mindsets of all participants. There were mighty demonstrations of supernatural encounters – heavenly lights around the church and visitations of angels being witnessed (during the seminar I was led to teach on angels and Kingdom help). All participants of the seminar and miracle meetings were in awe at the Holy Ghost’ Power of God manifested; and Pastor Kouteresh was so excited about what was happening at his church that he made the announcement that he was setting his faith to believe God for me to come back in 6 months time to hold a seminar and meetings with tens of thousands in attendance in an open air venue (the attendees let out a Holy Ghost roar of agreement – so set your faith for it to come to pass also!). As a result of the pastor seminar, we had an additional 520 new Bond Servants of Christ Ministerial Fellowship (BSCMF) members: And as a result of the entire India trip, we now have a total of nearly 6,000 BSCMF in Asia: Pastors and church leaders who want HS POWER!

I want to close this letter announcing that I will be in Malaysia from June 9-16, to speak at Full Gospel Businessmen’s Fellowship evangelistic banquets in Kuala Lumpur, Seremban and Kuantan; as well as conducting a pastor faith seminar and miracle meeting in Kuantan (located in the Muslim-dominated east coast of Malaysia). Please pray for these meetings and stand in agreement with us, as we believe for mighty Signs, Wonders and Miracles to confirm the Kingdom messages preached and taught. The Kingdom message is GJITCM’s calling; and we are expecting to bring the Kingdom of God to Malaysia in June – Holy Spirit changed mindsets and lives!

You are loved and blessed of God – and by me,

May 2010

 

Dear Friends,

 

“Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city.”

·         Acts 8:5-8

 

 

I pray that this letter finds you experiencing Great Joy, and God’s love abundantly touching every aspect of your life. Remember – we have an adversary who is not necessarily just going to roll over and allow you to experience God’s best. Satan’s only weapon against you is deception; and he will do everything he can to try to tell you that it is just too impossible and that you don’t have the victory (maybe others will have victory, but not you). Well, we know that our enemy is the ‘Father of Lies’ – there is no truth in him and he couldn’t tell the truth even if he wanted to – so just refuse to believe what he says and continue to believe the truth of God’s Word that says “You Win!” Demonstrations of the Kingdom of Heaven, which you have been translated into as written in Colossians 1:13, is on its way!

 

As you can tell, I am pretty pumped up for my upcoming ministry trip to India that starts on April 29th. By the time you receive this letter I will be in the middle of pastor faith seminars and miracle crusades that will be impacting India for Jesus.

   

I have been fasting, praying and reading accounts about the miraculous from the likes of John G. Lake for this trip, and I am expecting some major Kingdom of Heaven manifestations. How do I know that I am on the right track spiritually and that God has some extraordinary things planned for this trip? Because I have rarely ever faced this amount of spiritual opposition from the enemy while preparing for a major ministry trip. I am not giving Satan credit or honor; but the old dog can’t learn new tricks; and so when he tries his (unsuccessful) best to get me spiritually off-track and off-focus, I know I truly have him worried about what God has planned – Praise the Lord!

 

As mentioned last month, we will be conducting our largest pastor faith seminar ever held – over 2,000 attendees; and a miracle crusade meeting in one of the most diabolical areas in all of India: The last area in the country that is a stronghold of Hindu temple prostitution that has ruined the lives of women born into the Hindu caste, as well as has ravaged the area with HIV and other diseases.

        

My itinerary follows, please pray for the success of these meetings:

 

April 29 - Fly from Singapore to Bangalore, India

 

April 30 - Bangalore Pastor Faith Seminar (I am excited about this meeting, because this used to be my hometown and I have a great following in the city. Some local pastors were upset that I was coming through the city but not planning to preach in Bangalore, so they petitioned me to hold a seminar. To demonstrate their level of commitment, they are financing this seminar on their own – a true demonstration that my past seminars  have produced spiritual fruit.

                 

-  Traveling from Bangalore to Chitradurga – 4 hour car ride.

 

May 1 -     Chitradurga Pastor Faith Seminar with 2,000 pastors and church leaders attending.

 

                 - Miracle Crusade – EXPECT MIRACLES!

 

May 2 -     Sunday Church Service at Pastor Kottresh’s church of over 7,000 members.

                 

                  -  Drive back to Bangalore.

 

May 3 -     Fly back to Singapore

 

I truly believe that these meetings will usher GJITCM into an entirely new spiritual level of ‘signs, wonders and miracles’ ministry. We thank all of you for your partnership and prayers, and in helping us to impact Asia with the Kingdom of Heaven!

 

Till next time (with a great report) -

 

You are loved and blessed of God – and by me,

April 2010

 

Dear Friends,

 

“Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city.”

·         Acts 8:5-8

 

Sometimes on the field you need to adjust to the changing environment that is beyond your control. It can be an unction from the Holy Spirit to cancel a meeting due to foretold danger; or change the program right before the you are ready to get on to the platform to preach, due to electricity problems or some other infrastructural problem. I have learned over the last 15 years of field ministry to adjust and flow with the Holy Spirit – and only the Lord knows how many times such obedience has kept me out of harm’s way.

 

Sometimes you even have to deal with political situations; normally a national election that can be violent as the political parties clash before the polls open. But I have never encountered an international political problem like I have this March that has led to the postponement of my April Pakistan ministry trip. Like I have done since 2001, I usually go to the Pakistan embassy a few weeks before the trip and get a visa within a day or so. But I was shocked when I went to the Pakistan embassy in Singapore, put my application, passport and visa fee on the counter, and was informed that it would take one to two months to secure a visa. The reason? There is a political dispute between the US and Pakistan that has led to punitive measures taken by the Pakistani government. They are purposely making it difficult for US citizens (including US diplomats) to receive visas – all requests must go back to Islamabad and be approved by the Ministry of External Affairs. So we have postponed the April Pakistan trip which was to include a pastor faith seminar in the capital city of Islamabad.  Please stand in agreement that I will secure a visa as quickly as possible; and pray that the US and Pakistan develops better bilateral relations!

 

In the meantime, we are still busy planning a few more trips that I want to announce. I ask you to please keep these upcoming trips in your prayers, and seek the Lord about what you should do in supporting these upcoming May ministry trips:

 

 

 

Chitradurga, India Pastor Faith Seminar and Church meetings:

In the early part of May, I will be heading back to India to conduct GJITCM’s largest pastor faith seminar every held. We are expecting over 2,000 pastors and church leaders to attend the seminar which will take place 5 hours north of Bangalore. I am really excited about this trip because the enthusiasm for the seminar is very high. Many of the pastors and church leaders are familiar with our ministry; and they are not only expecting good Holy Spirit-led teaching, but Signs, Wonders and Miracles confirming the Word taught!

 

I am also excited about this trip because we are going to hold all meetings at the church of an Indian spiritual son of mine, Pastor Kottresh. He has come a long way since I first taught him Word of Faith principles in Bangalore back in 2006. He has applied the teachings and his ministry has exploded: He now pastors a church of over 7,000 members. After the seminar, I will be conducting some church meetings for him – we are expecting a great Holy Ghost time!

 

Kuala Lumpur and Kuantan, Malaysia Ministry Trip:

I have been asked by the Full Gospel Businessmen’s Fellowship of Malaysia (FGBMF-Malaysia) to come and hold some meetings for them in the capital city of Malaysia. Then a few of the Brothers want to take me to a Muslim stronghold area of Kuantan. The purpose of the trip to this region is to hold a pastor faith seminar to build up the Christian pastors and church leaders who are spiritually weak, intimidated and are not making any progress. We will be bringing to this very needy area, Word of Faith teaching to build up the Christian leaders and to demonstrate Holy Ghost power that will confirm the Word taught. This trip is of great importance because the FGBMF-Malaysia needs to have a strong church foundation to build upon to infiltrate the Muslim stronghold area with the Gospel.

 

I ask you to please pray for both these trips in May. I am believing to have some good news next month about securing a Pakistani visa and heading into the country also in the month of May. I also am expecting to have some very BIG news that will make you truly rejoice. But I will wait till next month and end this letter for now.

 

Till next time -

You are loved and blessed of God – and by me,

March ‘10 Partner Letter

Monday, March 1st, 2010 | GJITCM Partner Letters | No Comments

 

 

March 2010

 

Dear Friends,

 

“Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city.”

·         Acts 8:5-8

 

 

I am excited this month to report to you of the success of our February Pakistan trip that focused upon pastor faith seminars in Gujranwala and Sheikepura. Both were outstanding seminars that brought GJITCM to a new level of ministry. We had greater levels of attendance, as well as Holy Ghost power that confirmed the Word of God taught during the seminars. It was really a breakthrough trip on many different levels; and I want to thank all of you who contributed to the success of the trip through your financial and prayer support.

 

Accompanying me on the February trip was Tony Sheard, my good friend whom I have known for many years. Brother Tony is the head of Living Word Ministries in the UK. He is also the chairman of the trustees for Kenneth Copeland Ministries-Europe.

Participants from both cities were greatly blessed by Brother Tony’s teachings during the seminar; as well as GJITC Church of Lahore and GJITCM-Pakistan staff.

 

 The Gujranwala faith seminar broke our previous record for attendance by pastors and church leaders in Pakistan. During the two day seminar, we had over 1,600 participants in attendance. The majority of the participants were main-line denominational Christians – Presbyterians, Methodists, Anglicans and even Roman Catholic priests; as well as evangelicals in attendance.

 

We focused the seminar theme upon Kingdom of God principles and The Blessing.  The participants received the teachings eagerly and there were many personal and ministerial breakthroughs

              

 There were also a number of denominational pastors and church leaders who got Born-again, and received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. But what was truly the hallmark of this seminar was the power of the Holy Spirit that manifested in more powerful ways. In particular, the anointing upon me was stronger than I have ever experienced before. I was working in partnership with the Holy Spirit on a new level. In particular, the Holy Spirit allowed me to experience the new anointing by having me minister to the participants; in many cases without touching them, but by just holding my hand in front of them. It was extraordinary to see the anointing crumple a pastor to the floor when I just held my hand in front of his belly; or holding my hand in front of a woman and the presence of God overwhelming her, breaking down into tears before she fell out under the power of the Holy Spirit. The impression made not only impacted the participants greatly (who never experienced that level of anointing in demonstration), but it was also overwhelming to me as well as GJITCM-Pakistan staff.                                                                                         

 

The Gujranwala pastor faith seminar was a confirmation to me, of what the Lord told me at the beginning of 2010. In particular, that there was a “shift” in the spirit realm, and that we were moving to a new level of “Demonstration” (this was later confirmed  in January at the Kenneth Copeland Ministries Ministers Conference in Fort Worth). I like to see the Holy Spirit in manifestation – but GJITCM and I believe it should be to confirm the Word of God. In a teaching seminar, the power of God in demonstration seals the teachings; bringing a new  spiritual ‘mindset’ to the hearer.

 

The Sheikepura pastor faith seminar was well anticipated, as many pastors and church leaders remembered the February 2009 crusade that Pastor Tracy Harris and I conducted in the city. We had the lame walking, the deaf hearing, as well as many healings and deliverances during that crusade; and as a result our reputation preceded us.

                      

We had over 800 pastors and church leaders in attendance over the two days; and although we had to deal with spiritual obstacles due to the city tearing down a mosque and Muslims taking to the streets in protest, many of the pastors and the church leaders were happy and excited by the teachings received. The power of God was once again in awesome demonstration, and many participants received from the signs, wonders and miracles confirming the Word preached. All the participants in Sheikepura were full of joy by the end of the seminar – and Great Joy in the City Ministries fulfilled its goal of impacting the nation of Pakistan through bringing together multi-denominational pastors and church leaders of the nation.

 

As a result of the seminars, we had over 200 pastors and church leaders who joined our Bond Servants of Christ Ministerial Fellowship as members.

 

We now have over 5,2oo members in Asia, and over 1,750 members within Pakistan!

          Tony Sheard becoming a member of BSCMF

 

Along with the pastor faith seminars, Tony Sheard was the speaker at our GJITC Church of Lahore, and he also spent an afternoon teaching GJITCM-Pakistan staff about ministry structure and proper spiritual flow with the vision that the Lord has given me, as the leader. All the staff were very thankful for the wonderful teaching provided by Brother Tony. The Pakistan staff are currently implementing the strategies laid-out by Brother Tony, under the leadership and supervision of Tahir Rafiq, GJITCM-Pakistan Country Director.

 

Finally, I would like to make a very happy announcement –

 

For about one year I have been hoping to find a wife for my senior pastor and overseer of Great Joy in the City Churches of Pakistan, Shahid Jeet.  As leader of Great Joy in the City Ministries, and spiritual father to Shahid, I took the responsibility of finding him a proper wife who could not only be a great help-mate in life, but also who could play a leading role as co-senior pastor of GJITC Church of Lahore and overseer of our GJITC Churches of Pakistan. After much prayer, the Lord brought me to a young woman who is already a member of GJITCM-Pakistan staff – Mehwish Saleem. Sister Mehwish is currently the head of GJITCM-Pakistan Women’s Ministry, and her brother, Saqib, is the GJITCM-Pakistan Administrator. I am so very pleased with this marriage – Mehwish is one of the most spiritual leaders that I have in Pakistan, and she will not only be a great blessing to Shahid, but will also bless our churches in Pakistan. I believe the marriage of Shahid and Mehwish will be a Godly model to the Christian community in Pakistan!

 

Again, I want to thank all of you for making this trip such a great success. Till next time -

 

You are loved and blessed of God – and by me,

February ‘10 Partner Letter

Monday, February 1st, 2010 | GJITCM Partner Letters | No Comments

 

 

February 2010

 

Dear Friends,

 

“Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city.”

·         Acts 8:5-8

 

 

I have just arrived back to Singapore from my annual winter trip to the US – attending the KCM Ministers Conference in Ft Worth and preaching at some churches. It is good to spend a few days with Christina and resting up before heading to Lahore, Pakistan. I believe that this upcoming trip to Pakistan will be one of the most important trips that I have ever taken to Pakistan in 9 years of ministry in the country; and that this trip will have a major spiritual impact upon the entire nation.

 

There is great anticipation in my spirit for the pastor faith seminars to be held in the cities of Gjuranwala and Sheikepura. There is also great excitement and anticipation in the natural, from pastors and church leaders in these cities regarding the seminars. GJITCM-Pakistan staff is receiving testimonies of a ‘Holy Ghost buzz’ throughout the Christian communities of Gjuranwala and Sheikepura.

 

The pastor faith seminar in Gjuranwala is going to be a major event with historical ramifications. There will be approximately 1,000 pastors and church leaders gathered for our “Victory by Faith” seminar. But what makes this seminar unique is the fact that the majority of the pastors and church leaders registered are from main-line Christian denominations. Specifically, this will be the largest gathering of Presbyterians, Methodists and Lutherans ministers; as well as Roman Catholic priests (with Evangelical pastors and church leaders also in attendance) in the city; and most probably the largest multi-denominational gathering of Church leaders in the history of Pakistan. I am expecting God to do something extraordinary to not only bring these denominational leaders into a Born-again, Holy Ghost-filled life; but I am believing God for a divine move that will be the spark to ignite an End-time harvest revival in this officially Muslim nation. Pakistan, the only Muslim nuclear power, is at the center of world events – God is ready to shake this nation with Holy Ghost power that will have a spiritual ripple effect throughout the entire region!

 

The Sheikepura pastor faith seminar is also eagerly anticipated by the pastors and church leaders of the city. In February 2009, I held miracle crusades in Sheikepura that resulted in a mighty move of God – divine healings and deliverances including, the deaf hearing and the lame walking. Ever since, the Christian leaders of Sheikepura have been asking GJITCM to come to the city and hold a citywide seminar. With such great anticipation and expectation, I know by the Spirit of God, that there will be a major divine move that will impact the city and nation.

 

Coming with me on this trip will be Tony Sheard, who is the Chairman of the Trustees of Kenneth Copeland Ministries – Europe. Please keep this trip that will take place from February 4-11, in your prayers- Believe with us for Holy Ghost impact!

 

Our ministry in Pakistan is moving to a new level of spiritual impact, not only through pastor faith seminars, evangelistic crusades, planting strategic city churches and by growing and strengthening our Bond Servants of Christ Ministerial Fellowship; but also through a building project that I would like to bring to your attention for prayer and support:

 

I have been going into cities around Pakistan for the last 9 years, holding miracle crusades and pastor faith seminar that have impacted the nation. But increasingly over the years, travel is getting more and more dangerous. We now have armed guards at every meeting (have you ever conducted a Christian meeting with security carrying AK-47s?), and sometimes security is hard to manage and maintain. Also, there is rising awareness to the growing influence of Muslim fundamentalism in the nation that has resulted in persecution against the Church. For example, our pastor in Quetta has recently received a death threat that has forced GJITCM to relocate the pastor and his family to a safer section of the city.

 

During a Lahore pastor faith seminar last February 2009, both Pastor Tracy Harris and I started to prophecy and see spiritually that the day is coming when Western ministers will be severely limited in their travel, and thus their ability, to reach the nation of Pakistan with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As a result, GJITCM has embarked upon a building project to build a ministry training complex in Lahore.

 

It is God’s plan to build a ministry complex that will feature a seminar hall that will seat 1,000 pastors and church leaders. By building a training center in Lahore, situated near our church office in the Youhanabad area of the city (which is considered a ‘safe area’), we will be able to bring pastors and church leaders from throughout Pakistan to the city of Lahore to attend seminars, while speakers like myself and guests who I bring into the nation, will be relatively ‘safe’ by being based at a Lahore hotel that features heightened security measures. Guest speakers and I will not have to travel to other cities where security arrangements are marginal at best. Also, in case the day comes when foreign Christian speakers will be hindered or prohibited from coming into Pakistan due to Islamic fundamentalism, having a facility with internet conferencing will allow me and other teachers to continue to make Holy Ghost impartations into the lives of Pakistani ministers.

 

The facility will also double as a Lahore city church building (allowing us to significantly grow the church and its impact as a model ‘faith-based’ church to the nation); and also will have offices for GJITCM-Pakistan, as well as class rooms for a future Word of Faith-centered Bible School that will train pastors and church leaders to go throughout Pakistan and preach the uncompromised Word of Faith.

 

This project is of vital importance and is directed by the leadership of the Holy Spirit. Many of you know of Pastor Tracy Harris of Harvest International Ministries (HIM) in Texarkana; Pastor Tracy is coordinating the fund raising for this building project. We have projected a cost of US$100,000 for the land and building costs. We have already received $12,000 for the project, and are believing for the remaining portion of the budget. Please keep this spiritually vital building project in your prayers. If you feel led to give to the GJITCM Training Center building project, please contact Pastor Tracy Harris at Harvest International Ministries, 4000 Arkansas Blvd, Texarkana, Ar, 71854 or call: 1-870-774-4446.

 

Well, I need to prepare for the Pakistan trip that will commence in a few days. Please keep this trip, GJITCM and me in your prayers: it’s going to be awesome!

 

Till next time -

You are loved and blessed of God – and by me,

Dear Friends,

 

“Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city.”

·         Acts 8:5-8

 

 

I am writing this letter from the island of Borneo, where Christina and I are celebrating Christmas and New Year’s. We head to a rainforest resort tomorrow (4 hours by 4-wheel drive vehicle, and a 20 minute river boat ride); and since I am not too sure about the internet capabilities of the place we be staying at, I thought I’d better get this done today.

 

I am very excited about 2010; during my time of prayer over the past few months, the Lord spoke to me and stated that “2010 would be a year of tidal wave manifestations of His power and glory”. Specifically, the Lord asked me about what happens during a tidal wave; I answered – it destroys everything in its path. The Lord said, “Yes, and a divine tidal wave of my power and glory will destroy all Satan’s manifested activities that it comes across.”  The Lord then asked me what else happens – and I stated it changes the terrain of the land that crosses its path; and the Lord said, “Yes, and this divine tidal wave will change the land that it inhabits – by creating Heaven upon the Earth.”

 

I was very excited about what the Lord stated, but then he said – “But do not seek it”: All you need to do is to seek me, my Kingdom and my Righteousness; and you will experience it beyond what you could ask or think.  Ever since that Word from the Lord, I have been seeking God’s Kingdom – My citizenship status within the Kingdom of God; and I have been seeking God’s righteousness – NOT JUST RIGHT-STANDING BY FAITH, BUT BY ACTIVE PURSUIT OF HOLINESS. Ever since, the Lord has manifested His presence, favor and grace to Christina, myself and GJITCM beyond all we could ask or think. The truth of Hebrews 12:14, rings out with great clarity and understanding – Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord”

Dear friends – if I can encourage you in only one way for the New Year – 2010 – I will declare to you, to seek God’s holiness. As the Word states in 1 Peter 1:16, “Be ye holy, for I am holy”. Don’t seek things, don’t seek prosperity, don’t seek success, don’t seek God’s power; but ONLY seek God – Your citizenship in God’s Kingdom and His Righteousness; and all these other things will be added to you!

 

GJITCM is excited about 2010; we are moving to a new level of ministry and expecting mighty results during the year – manifestations of tidal waves of God’s power and glory. To start the year, we are planning for a trip to Pakistan at the beginning of February. I ask you to pray for this trip; not only for safety but for great manifestations. The schedule is as follows:

 

 

Feb 4 – Arrive in Lahore

Feb 5 - Gujranwala Pastor Faith Seminar

Feb 6 - Gujranwala Pastor Faith Seminar

Feb 7 - GJITC Church of Lahore Meeting

Feb 9 - Sheikupura Pastor Faith Seminar

Feb 10- Sheikupura Pastor Faith Seminar

Feb 11 – Leave for Singapore

 

We are expanding our ministry during this trip, holding pastor seminars with over 1,200 pastors and church leaders in attendance. In particular, we are really stretching our faith for the Gujranwala seminar. There will be over 800 Christian leaders participating from not only evangelical churches; but the majority of the participants will be from denominational churches including the Roman Catholic Church. This will be one of the largest Christian leadership conferences in Pakistan; and in consideration of so many denominational leaders in attendance, one of Pakistan’s most important Christian gatherings.

 

We thank all of you in advance who sow seeds for this trip – you are going to receive a great harvest from such a groundbreaking trip. Well, I need to run for now – Seek God’s Kingdom and righteousness and you will see Tidal Wave manifestations of God’s power and glory in 2010!

 

You are loved and blessed of God – and by me,

December ‘09 Partner Letter

December 2009

 

Dear Friends,

 

“Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city.”

·         Acts 8:5-8

 

 

“A man’s gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men” (Proverbs 18:16), is a scripture that I have learned to stand upon as the head of GJITCM, since I first heard Dr. Jerry Savelle teach a ministry class during bible school back in 1994. During my inaugural Christian business leaders’ ministry trip in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia last month, I leaned heavily upon this scripture to open divine doors and to advance ‘Kingdom ministry’ to bring in the end-time harvest in Malaysia and Southeast Asian nations.

 

I had a great ministry trip that I had been looking forward to for about one year. Honestly, it is a ministry program that has been on my heart since I lived in Malaysia back in 1996. God had put into my heart this apostolic project - to work with the Full Gospel Businessmen’s Fellowship of Malaysia (FGBF-Malaysia). God honored His vision, and the time of fulfillment has come!

 

The FGBF-Malaysia is the spiritual backbone of the Malaysian Body of Christ; and in my opinion - God has elevated and anointed this group (due to the abdication of spiritual leadership responsibility of many pastors who do not have a Kingdom mindset), to win this Muslim-dominated nation to Jesus Christ. The FGBF-Malaysia helps bring unity of faith among Believers; and is used by the Lord throughout the Southeast Asia (they are the over-shepherds in other countries like Vietnam’s FGBF). God has spoken to me specifically, that He wanted to use the FGBF-Malaysia to play a major role in the region, and to help finance the end-time harvest in Asia. I had in my heart a vision to play a major role by mentoring the FGBF-Malaysia; and God using me to give these Christian business leaders Kingdom Vision and Purpose, to play a major role in bringing in the end-time harvest. God told me that this trip would be a major ‘crossroads’ in my ministry; and that He would confirm His Word with Signs following that would demonstrate to the Christian leaders of His plan and purpose. I was told coming into this trip that business people are “hard ground” – specifically, that wealthy people have no need for Jesus!

  

My first meeting – a lunch-time businessmen’s lunch hour meeting - was powerful. Many business people wanted to attend the Saturday senior FGBF leader’s seminar, but no room was available. We had  limited the seminar to top leaders of the FGBF.                                                         

                                                        

 The Friday night evangelistic banquet dinner was held at a fancy seafood restaurant in a Kuala Lumpur, foreign/expat area called Bangsar (where Christina and I lived when we resided in Malaysia). I was warned beforehand that these events were regularly scheduled to bring in new business leaders into the Kingdom; but the banquet dinners were ‘hard ground’ because successful business people had no need for Jesus. I knew this evangelistic banquet would be a ‘clear test’ to see if God had truly given me a divine commission – and would be judged so by the FGBF-Malaysia leadership. A couple of FGBF Brothers gave their testimonies as preliminaries to my being the main speaker. I was nearly overwhelmed by the reception the FGBF Brothers received – No one was paying attention to their testimonies; and the sounds of loud talking and of dishes clattering was almost deafening. When it was finally my turn to speak, I focused fully upon the truth that I was an “ambassador for the Kingdom of God” sent to give the Gospel that would set people free.  As soon as I started to speak, the diners became instantly silent. The anointing was heavy upon me and the business people listened intently. When preaching/teaching, I habitually like to be close to the listeners – I like for the listeners to be impacted by being close to the anointing; and I sensed a spiritual connection.

 

When I gave the altar call, 55 business leaders and wives accompanying them, received Jesus as Lord.  The number of salvations doubled any previous evangelistic banquet held in 2009; some banquet dinners having twice as many attendees. The Lord then boldly had me ask all who got saved to come up – God wanted to seal the business leaders’ salvations: He wanted to show Himself REAL. I laid hands on every new convert, and God touched them all with His presence!

 

After such a great outpouring of God’s power at the evangelistic banquet on Friday night, senior FGBF leaders were excited as they gathered for the Christian business leaders Faith/Kingdom principles seminar Saturday morning. I taught for four hours, and the revelation of God’s Word was received joyfully – The leaders had never heard such Kingdom teaching before. The FGBF-Malaysia senior leaders received a revelation of God’s Government, Blessing; and Power, Authority and Dominion. At the end of the seminar, I laid hands upon the senior leaders, who received a new impartation of the anointing of God to help them fulfill God’s plan for the FGBF-Malaysia!

                                                                                                                                                                           

After the seminar I had lunch with the national president, deputy president, central regional director and some other senior leaders of the Full Gospel Businessmen’s Fellowship – God had gifted and anointed me to open doors to Malaysia!

 

As a result, the FGBF-Malaysia wants me to come in to conduct a weekend retreat seminar which they will be opening to all FGBF members to be held at a Kuala Lumpur area resort. They also have opened up a divine door to all of Malaysia’s country regions – from the island of Penang on the northwest coast near Thailand, to Borneo-Malaysia in the south. Finally, they have asked me to help teach and mentor the pastors on the east coast of Malaysia, which is a Muslim fundamentalist stronghold; and an area where they have had little success in establishing the FGBF due to the weakened state of the Christian churches in the area. Praise the Lord – God confirmed His Word: Great Joy in the City Ministries has a major open door to the nation of Malaysia; and will play a vital and key role mentoring this powerful Christian business grouping on a regular basis.

 

I thank all of you who stood in agreement and prayed for this trip – It was a landmark trip for GJITCM; and it is a major divine door to impact the Asia region!

 

As 2009, draws to a close and I reflect back upon all that God has accomplished through GJITCM. We have seen an increase in ministry this year that confirms what He told me at this time last year – That “2009 would be the year to step up and step-out”:

 

- In 2009, we have taught over 4,500 Asian pastors and church leaders in our “Victory by Faith Seminars this year (94% increase over 2008).

- Bond Servants of Christ Ministerial Fellowship currently has over 5,000 pastors and church leaders as members (49% increase over 2008). Our membership includes pastors of single churches and small ministries, as well as pastors with over 450 churches nationwide and congregations in the hundreds of thousands.

- Malaysian Businessmen Faith/Kingdom Seminars - Conducting regular businessmen faith seminars to teach and mentor Word of Faith and Kingdom of God principles.

- Evangelism through crusades and evangelistic meetings. We have won over 6,000 Asians in 2009 (18% increase over 2008) to Jesus: Hindus, Muslims, denominational Christians and idol worshippers.

- Signs, wonders and miracles including blind eyes opening, lame walking, deaf hearing; outstanding healings like a unborn baby with tumors on its head being healed; and the Glory of God falling have taken place this year

-We have planted a citywide church in the Pakistan capital city of Islamabad; which brings a total of 5 ‘spiritually strategic’ churches in the nation: 2 in Lahore (originally 3 churches, but we combined two churches into one); 2 churches in Quetta (a Taliban area on the Afghan border), and now in Islamabad: We have a total of over 400 church members of GJITC Churches of Pakistan.

 

What are the major plans for 2010? We are planning and fundraising for a Pakistan training center based in Lahore. This will allow one thousand pastors and church leaders to gather at one time, while providing me and guests speakers safety by being based in Lahore. We will also use the facility as our main church in Pakistan, and have GJITCM-Pakistan country offices based there. We are also raising up a new GJITCM country director to begin work in Burma.

 

As the New Year approaches, we ask you to prayerfully consider partnering with GJITCM as we bring in the end-time harvest in Asia!

 

Till next time – Christina, myself and all the staff at GJITCM wish you a blessed Christmas!

 

You are loved and blessed of God – and by me,

November ‘09 Partner letter

Sunday, November 1st, 2009 | GJITCM Partner Letters | No Comments

 

 

November 2009

 

Dear Friends,

 

“Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city.”

·         Acts 8:5-8

 

GJITCM and I have endeavored to go into the nations and ‘Prepare the Way of the Lord’s Return”.  We have ministered and impacted Muslim nations like Pakistan, the Hindu nation of India, countries like Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, as well as the Island of Borneo, with the Gospel of Jesus Christ in crusades and evangelistic meetings: We have brought over 300,000 Asians into the Kingdom of Heaven. Signs, Wonders and Miracles, including blind eyes opening, the lame walking, the deaf hearing and outstanding miracles like a baby in the womb being healed of tumors on its head, have confirmed the Word of God. But since a few years ago and the apostolic calling given to me, GJITCM has experienced an explosion of ministry that has resulted in KINGDOM IMPACT.

 

In particular, GJITCM has done more to further the Kingdom of God in the region through the refocusing of the ministry to disciple Asian pastors and church leaders to bring in the End-Time Harvest through pastor faith seminars, which has reached tens of thousands of Christian leaders; and through commencing Bond Servants of Christ Ministerial Fellowship (BSCMF). I give God all the praise reporting to you, that BSCMF has reached a new milestone: Bond Servants of Christ Ministerial Fellowship has over 5,000 members in Asia!

 

We reached this new level of discipleship this past month during our Pakistan ministry trip, and by ministering in the cities of Lahore, Multan and Sialkot. The trip was very tense as all of Pakistan was preparing for terrorist attacks due to the Pakistani army soon starting a military offensive against the Taliban in Waziristan Province thankfully the Taliban terrorist bombings didn’t start till the day after I left the country. But when I arrived at my Lahore-based hotel, they were building a double-layered sandbag wall some 10 feet tall adjacent to the wall facing the main street to cushion a potential bomb explosion; as well as new “kill zones” on the property in case terrorists tried to storm the hotel, with a machine gun emplacement strategically set high on the corner of the hotel entrance. But God’s divine protection was more than enough protection for the trip!

 

My spiritual son and GJITCM-Pakistan Country Director, Tahir Rafiq and I flew to the city of Multan the day after I arrived from Singapore, to hold the first citywide pastor faith seminar. The city of Multan is an internationally recognized Islamic historical city. Muslims believe that when Satan fell to the earth when he was kicked out of Heaven, he landed in Multan – to say that this city is a spiritual stronghold would be a serious understatement!

 

We had over 225 pastors and church leaders attend the seminar; and although it was spiritually hard ground for the first few hours of the 1st day of the seminar, the pastors and church leaders received the Word of Faith taught with signs following. We had a breakthrough by the second day, and gained some 70 new members of BSCMF by the end of the second day. It was one of my most difficult trips, but we made a major impact claiming Multan for the Kingdom of Heaven!                

                                

 

Tahir and I flew back to Lahore on Saturday evening, where I was surprised by a dinner planned by the GJITCM staff at our Youhanabad office. It was a great time of fun and fellowship between me and our 14 staff members with plenty of home cooked Pakistani food, including my favorites – Mutton Karahi, Dal Makhani and garlic naan! Sunday morning I preached at our GJITC Church of Lahore, where we had a powerful move of God. There were over 100 church members gathered, who seem to always eagerly expect to receive a special manifestation from the Holy Spirit when I come; and they were not disappointed as He confirmed the Kingdom Word preached with mighty Signs, Wonders and Miracles.

 

The last part of the trip was a pastor faith seminar held in the city of Sialkot. I was originally planning to stay in Sialkot at a military-owned hotel; but after being led by the Holy Spirit, I decided to be based in Lahore at my “5-star bunker hotel” and travel 3 hours every day by car to conduct the seminar. We had over 500 pastors and church leaders attend the “Victory by Faith” seminar; and many of the pastors attended remembering my crusade a few years back in the city, where the Glory of God fell and where mighty signs, wonders and miracles took place.

 

 

 

We had a wonderful time ministering Kingdom of God principles to the pastors and church leaders; and they all received the Word and were impacted mightily. GJITCM is called to ‘Prepare the way of the Lord’s Return’, by discipling Christian leaders to move with Kingdom faith and power to bring in the End-Time Harvest – and we have impacted Pakistan mightily!

Over 5,000 Bond Servant of Christ Ministerial Fellowship members who are dedicated to walk in servanthood to our Lord Jesus Christ; and who in unity of faith and corporate anointing, are believing to walk in mighty Signs, Wonders and Miracles to impact their nations to bring in the End-Time Harvest – That is what your partnership and financial support has produced over the years. Pastors, 5-fold ministers and church leaders who have made a quality decision to follow the Word of God in Mark 10: 42-45, becoming ‘Bondservants of Christ’ to move in Kingdom power to serve!

 

Our Great Joy in the City Churches of Pakistan are established to do two things: 1. To establish spiritually and strategically placed churches throughout Pakistan to bind the Kingdom of Darkness and create a Kingdom of God environment to win the nation to Jesus; 2. To confirm the Word taught in our pastor faith seminars through ‘model churches’ that demonstrate Kingdom power and victory. That is the purpose of GJITC Churches of Pakistan which are under my apostolic guidance, and supervised by Bishop Shahid Jeet. I am excited to report that we are planting a new Great Joy in the City Church - in the capital city of Islamabad. We have a church strategically placed in the ‘Seat of Power’ of Pakistan. Please pray for this new church!

 

FINALLY- I want to ask for your prayers for a very important “OPEN DOOR” that will take place towards the end of this month – I will be conducting our first Malaysian Christian Businessmen’s’ Faith and Kingdom of God seminar in Kuala Lumpur. This will be the first monthly seminar for senior Christian business leaders that I believe will impact Asian Christian businessmen through Word of Faith/Kingdom principles teaching in a divine way.  GET THE VISION: With our Bondservants of Christ Ministerial Fellowship members and these Christian Businessmen, God is going to create a “Divine Synergy” to bring in the End-Time Harvest. I will be teaching a Saturday afternoon seminar, as well as being the main speaker at an evangelistic businessmen’s dinner banquet, and speaking at a Sunday Church meeting in Ara Damansara – Believe with me for a mighty move of God!

 

GJITCM and I are celebrating our anniversary of ministry in Asia this month; it has been an awesome and sovereign move of God that is starting to impact the region in a mighty way – We thank all of you for your continued partnership and financial support, as we bring in the End-Time Harvest in Asia and prepare the way for the Lord’s return!

 

Till next time -

 

You are loved and blessed of God – and by me,

October ‘09 Partner letter

October 2009

 

Dear Friends,

 

“Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city.”

·         Acts 8:5-8

 

A Holy Ghost ‘Clarion Call’ to Bring in the Harvest! That is what the Lord spoke through me last month at a gathering of Indian Harvesters representing 16 of the 35 states of India, plus Christian leaders from outside the country – including Saudi Arabia. It was a powerful 4 days of teaching Kingdom on God principles to hundreds of Christian leaders gathered in a remote rural area some 240 kms outside of the city of Nagpur – a former British colonial governmental center in India, due to its central locality on the subcontinent.

 

The purpose of the 2-week conference, with thousands of Christian leaders from across India attending this bi-annual meeting, was to prepare and train harvesters to reach rural India with the Gospel. In particular - to train Christian Harvesters how to walk in Holy Ghost power to confirm the Gospel preached; a HS demonstration to bring idol worshippers to Christ. I was asked by Rev. Amos Singh to teach leaders. Brother Amos over the course of some 28 years of ministry, has won millions of Indians to Jesus – specifically, focusing his ministry upon the villages of India where 70% of the Indian population resides. Rev. Amos is a very humble and quiet man. He has impacted the state of Madyapradesh to such a degree that Hindu fanatics have made death threats against him.

 

In one period, Rev. Amos preached to 50,000-60,000 villagers per night for months (actually about 25 days per month) winning millions to Jesus in rural villages. In fact, he won so many Indian villagers in Madyapradesh state, that the ruling Hindu political party decreed that he was no longer permitted to conduct large crusades in the state, because of how powerful and important he became in the state among the people. He has spiritual sons throughout India who were former Hindus who saw the miraculous power of God first-hand; and who got saved and became preachers of the Gospel – He has one such spiritual son, who got healed from a life threatening sickness while attending a crusade as a Hindu; got saved, and now has a church of over 100,000 in Kerala, where we will minister next year.

What separates Rev. Amos from most Indian preachers (never mind the limitation – most preachers around the world) is his humbleness, humility and servant’s heart - I saw him early in the morning, cleaning the bathrooms of attendees of the conference who were gathered at his ministry complex – And his focus to win the villages of India for Jesus. By and large, Indian ministries focus upon the cities of India, although 70% of the people of India live in villages….Reason? Poor people have no money and can’t give offerings! Is there any clearer reason why India has no more than 5% of the population Born-again?                   

Why tens of millions of dollars go into missions work in India each year without a major impact? No – the ‘scales’ came off my eyes over the course of the four days, and God has showed me why we have not made a greater Gospel impact upon the 1.2 billion people of India.

 

My instructions from the Holy Spirit were clear – for harvesters to walk in miracle power, they had to be grounded in the Kingdom of Heaven: They were to walk in this world as ‘Citizens of Heaven’; and were called to ‘colonize this world’ for the Kingdom of Heaven under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. When they developed the spiritual mindset of being spiritual ‘colonizers’, then all of Heaven’s resources and anointing would be available to demonstrate to heathens, God’s Kingdom. Heathens will be willing to trade their gods for the Living God and salvation through His son Jesus! I have never been clearer on

   

what I am called to do in ministry; and God confirmed His Word with mighty Signs, Wonders and Miracles! In one conference, Great Joy in the City Ministries impacted a nation – it was the greatest trip I have taken in ministry…and it was the most difficult trip I have ever experienced, other than a trip to Quetta on a Afghan border in 2002, where I was nearly poisoned by gas heater fumes, while staying at a humble home while ministering during the height of the Afghan War. Although there was a tremendous price to pay in terms of physical hardships, infirmities, attempted thievery and satanic oppression – God’s grace was more than sufficient to see me through, and to bring total victory. I was put into the Refiner’s Fire and came out burnished gold from this trip…To God be the glory! I thank all of you who prayed and helped support this ministry trip to India – it will bear spiritual fruit that will impact a subcontinent of 1.2 billion people for years to come!

 

I need to finish this letter quickly, as I need to start packing for my next trip set for Pakistan starting on Wednesday. I am expecting that the same anointing to be present during the two pastor seminars I have scheduled for the cities of Multan and Sialkot.

 

Please find the schedule for the September 30-October 8 Pakistan Trip; I ask you to please pray for the meetings, attendees, travel and (of course) safety during this important trip.

I want to thank you once again for your partnership and spiritual support.

To ‘Prepare the Way of the Lord’s Return’, by heeding the clarion call to bring in the end-time harvest. This is our calling: To train and prepare Holy Ghost empowered ministers to bring in the end-time harvest; and we are expecting mighty signs confirming this Word and calling!

 

Till next time -

 

You are loved and blessed of God – and by me,
