Leaving For India:
I leave in the morning for India. Please keep this
trip in your prayers. I apologize for not keeping up with the
newsletters more but I have been extremely busy preparing for this
trip and making sure everything here is taken care of for the next
few months. We will be gone almost 10 weeks. We will leave tomorrow
morning, Sunday, March 13th and return May
17th. I also ask that you continue prayer for a
week or so after we return because the battle often follows you
home.
Continue Teaching Series When Return:
I have at least as much or more information to
share on Covenants and the Covenant of Salt as I have already
shared, so I feel confident once I return from this trip I will pick
up on that where we left off. Many of you have shared with me how
important this teaching has been to you and for some of you even
life changing. I want to thank you for your input. I value that. It
really helps me to know these teachings are making a difference for
people. And I want to assure you I will continue this teaching when
I return.
Still A Great Financial
Need:
I still have a great financial need for this trip
but I will not allow that to stop me from leaving tomorrow. Money
can still be given for the trip even after I leave. I have a
wonderful friend and minister in the Lord, Pastor Hubert Kidder who
will check my mail and take care of my bank account for me while I
am gone. Once it is in my account I can access it from where ever I
am with my debit card. I know the Lord is faithful; I really know
that and have tried it and found it true many times. God is never in
as much of a hurry as I am but He always has it all under
control.
Ministry and
Expenses:
For a trip this long to this many places there are
many expenses, from hotels, to taxies (you must take a taxi to go
anywhere in most of these places), to food and various other
expenses. One of the expenses for this particular trip is
Conference Expenses. We will be working with people we know
and trust so much. Brother Martin in particular is so good with
details and I know Moneema will be helping him a great deal. I
always tell Brother Martin just point me in the right direction
because I trust him. I love these people intensely.
In Northern India we will be having 2-3 Prophetic
Leadership Conferences. We will have ministers from as far away as
Nepal (a somewhat closed country, especially since the King declared
Marshal Law recently.) It would be hard for us to go to them but
they can come to us. Leaders will also be coming from Bhutan, a
closed country to the gospel and all outsiders. But they can come to
us for a short time to be built up, encouraged and strengthened to
return. Many of them face persecution and very real threats on a
daily basis.
We will also have pastors and leaders coming from
the mountains (Himalayas), from Sikkim and that entire area of
Northern India. Many of them would not be able to come if we did not
help them pay for the expense of coming. So part of the expense is
to help pay their way to the conference. Then once they are there
they have no place to stay and no money for food. So we will provide
room and board for 60 or so as well as pay for the conference center
facilities and any other expenses incurred. This is very needed for
these leaders. They face difficult situations on a daily basis and
really need to be strengthened and hear a fresh word from the
Lord. I know the Lord will provide.
We will also be speaking in a Bible School in
Chennai (in Southern India where the Tsunami hit) as well as other
ministry in the area there. This is our first time to this area. The
Lord strongly dealt with me to go and I know He has some divine
appointments there. Training the trainers to spread the gospel
faster by multiplication and not addition only.
We will also be traveling and ministering in
various places throughout this part of Northern India. We often pray
for the sick and for deliverance. But the Lord has laid it on my
heart this time to evangelize more. In the plans this has not come
up much. I believe the Lord will open a door for miracle evangelism
and see many come into the Kingdom of God while we are there. Thats
what its really all about.
In Hong Kong we will be ministering in some
different areas. We may also have some opportunities that are not
best to talk about at this time. Just suffice it to say there may be
more dangers on this trip, not only in Hong Kong but in some of the
other areas and we desire your prayers. The Lord has promised
protection and we believe Him.
In the Philippines we usually have a Pastors
Conference, a Womans Conference and sometimes a Youth Conference.
We sometimes minister in outreaches and in the church and orphanage
there with Pastor Abe and Mom Stella. Whatever the Lord does there I
know it will be awesome. They are an awesome people that I love with
all my heart. I have just heard that Mama and Papa Doorn were there
for 3 days and the Holy Ghost set that place on fire with a holy
fire. Praise God.
Not Traveling Alone:
How different it will be in a nice way to travel
with someone, actually 3 some ones. Two very fine ministers of the
gospel will be going with me, Rev. Robert Baldwin, ThD and Rev.
Larry Groves. I am sure they will be able to enhance and multiply
the ministry wonderfully. Rev. Larry must leave the team when we are
through with the India part of the trip and in his place another
fine minister of the gospel will be coming, Rev. Don Toothman. He
will work with us in Hong Kong and the Philippines. Close to 10
weeks is a long trip, please pray for grace and strength for each of
us. I am listing our schedule for prayer purposes so you can follow
along with us and know where we will be each day.
Thank you you go with me and do a great portion
of the work through your prayers.
