October 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 came back recently from the US, where I was asked to be a speaker at a ministers conference; and where I addressed the issues of Servanthood and Humility – Back in March, 2004, while living in Hanoi, Vietnam, the Lord visited me one night and talked to me about the calling He had given me. Over the course of about an hour, the Lord spoke to me about my going into the first stage of my ministry (this was after 9 years of “ministry apprenticeship”), and calling me to become an apostle with the commission to “prepare the way for the Lord’s return’. He spoke about how He was going to open the door for a move to India and that it would be quick and exceedingly abundantly above all we could ask or think (and it was); He spoke to me about conducting pastor seminars to teach church leaders about faith; He talked about the Holy Spirit giving me an anointing for Signs, Wonders and Miracles to confirm the Word preached; He talked to me about conducting crusades and planting churches in Pakistan, not as an end to itself, but to be “confirming models” to the church leaders of what He wanted me to teach them during the seminars; and Jesus talked to me about starting a ministerial fellowship that He wanted to be called, “Bond Servants of Christ Ministerial Fellowship” (BSCMF). The Lord spoke to me specifically that He was dissatisfied with the spiritual mindset of Church Leaders around the world – that there was too much self-seeking and not a willingness to fully pay the price of true discipleship – and that specifically, He was limited to release into 5-fold ministers the ability to walk in the fullness of the Latter Days and ‘Signs, Wonders and Miracles’, to bring in the end-time harvest. That it would do more harm (to the church leaders) than good because of self-seeking, self-promotion and self-glorification that would be the true result because of a lack of consecration and sanctification from the world. Jesus then spoke to me, that to truly walk in the fullness of the miraculous to bring in the end-time harvest, there needed to be a willingness to deny one-self FULLY, to take up one’s cross and follow Him. That He who would be greatest in the Kingdom of God must be servant of all: We needed to FULLY follow His example and ministry walk!

I did not want the responsibility for being a ‘leader of leaders’, but the Lord made it clear that this was my calling. I will be honest with you- I pleaded with Jesus not to be given such a calling; and I stated outright – “Why would anyone listen and follow me?” The stern and commanding voice that sounded like a thousand mighty rivers converging into a waterfall answered back, “Because I will be with you, and I will confirm my Word with Signs, Wonders and Miracles! ….And you will know this is of me from how quickly it will grow and by the fruit it will bear!” Ever since that night, I have kept the vision ever before my eyes and before everything we accomplish at Great Joy in the City Ministries; and as a result –

We have conducted pastor faith seminars with tens of thousands in attendance that have been filled with both anointed teaching and Holy Ghost power, and have conducted miracle crusades (both ‘confirming models’ to 5-fold ministers) that have brought over 320,000 Hindus, Muslims and other unbelievers into the Kingdom of God…And we have 6,000 Bond Servants of Christ Ministerial Fellowship (BSCMF) members located in four countries: Pastors with over 450 churches in their ministry, pastors with churches of 10,000 members, pastors of churches with 40-50 members, evangelists who have individually won over 30 million villagers in India, evangelists who are reaching neighborhood communities in Pakistan, businesspeople who are marketplace missionaries touching the lives of very influential regional financial players: Big and small ministries with a common vision and purpose to walk in humility and servanthood, and as a end-result are walking in Kingdom power and results. I mentor these 5-fold ministers on a monthly basis with a ministry letter sent to each member free of charge (I am a bondservant) - ‘fresh manna from heaven’ – and as a result, BSCMF members are impacting the lives of over 1.5 million Believers daily; and through walking in Holy Ghost power and impact, their ministries are growing and they are individually growing spiritually. To God be the glory!

I tell you all of this, to give you a report of what you are sowing into on a monthly basis, and the fruit that is being produced. But I also am relaying this to give emphasis to what I am about to report about the testimonies from our GJITCM-Pakistan ministry. The results you will read are of a divine evidence of what the Lord spoke to me about planting churches and conducting ministry as ‘Confirming Models’ of what is taught to 5-fold leaders by Great Joy in the City Ministries. The confirmation of what we teach is making a great impact upon BSCMF members, and we are receiving testimonies from BSCMF members of the same nature and Kingdom impact, as they listen, learn and follow:

Great Joy in the City Church of Lahore – Youhanbad Church testimony highlights:

· A young girl testified that when Ps Shahid was praying for her, God revealed to her the spiritual weaknesses in her life and the Holy Spirit delivered her.

Praise the Lord! God is surely confirming His Word with signs following. I have mentored and discipled our GJITCM staff to walk in humility and servanthood as I was told by Jesus, and He has confirmed His Word with mighty signs following. These testimonies have made a great impact upon the members of BSCMF in Pakistan – and further confirming Signs are impacting all our BSCMF members. What is more important, is that our BSCMF members are experiencing the same type of Holy Ghost power and impact in their own ministries. With each testimony, our witness grows and creates mindset changes in our BSCMF members, and touches the lives of other ministers in their circle of influence – the Kingdom impact continually grows!

I pray that you have enjoyed the testimonies; and furthermore – that they have prompted you to reevaluate your own life and witness to the world. Walk in the same humility as Jesus when He walked the earth; live your life to serve others and not look to others to serve you – If you will follow after Jesus, you will find yourself experiencing the reality of John 14:12 – and not only doing the works of Jesus BUT GREATER WORKS!

I will leave you with the following upcoming Pakistan ministry trip information for your prayer consideration and opportunity to financially sow into:

I am planning my next trip to Pakistan – October 27-November 6, where I will be going for the first time to the capital city of Islamabad to conduct a pastor faith seminar; and I will also be going to the city of Quetta on the Afghanistan border to conduct a pastor faith seminar, as well as night-time evangelistic meetings. This will be the first trip that I will be taking to Pakistan since February. As you may recall, it took me four months to obtain a Pakistan visa, as we fell prey to the diplomatic fall-out between the US and Pakistan that halted all visas for some time.

My Pakistan ministry trip details are as follows:

Arrival into Lahore Wednesday, October 27^th

Travel to Islamabad by vehicle with staff Thursday, October 28^th

Pastor Faith Seminar in Rawalpindi Friday & Saturday, October 29-30^th

Travel back to Lahore Saturday evening, October 30^th

Sunday service at GJITC Church -Lahore Sunday, October 31st

Meeting with GJITCM staff Monday, November 1st

Fly to Quetta, Pakistan Tuesday, November 2nd

Pastor Faith Seminar in Quetta Wednesday and Thursday, November 3-4th

Fly back to Lahore via Islamabad Friday, November 5th

Fly back to Delhi & onward to Bangalore Saturday, November 6th

I please ask you to keep the dates and details in your prayers (especially the trip to Quetta, which is heavily influenced by the Taliban): and I ask you to pray about sowing a financial seed towards this trip. You have been given the details of the calling and the fruit that is abounding. Your seeds are sown in good ground that can impact the nation of Pakistan greatly for Jesus. GJITCM and I are determined to walk fully in Kingdom Last Days power and might, to bring in the end-time harvest in Pakistan, Asia and the world!
