JUNE 2005
Greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Diana and I want to thank everyone of you that participated in the outreach to Argentina with your prayers and Missionary gifts. It was a very fruitful trip for the Kingdom of God, but not without challenges. I felt such tremendous warfare there. My coordinator there told me that Argentina is very violent and even dangerous now with the collapse of the economy a few years ago. But my Bible tells me that "the Kingdom of God suffers violence, and the violent take it by force," and that is exactly what Diana and I did. We spent pretty much the entire trip in prayer and fasting, on our faces before the Lord. We know that it's not by our might, or by our power, but by the Spirit of the living God that the Victory is won, and Souls are brought to Him.
Night after night, we saw the faces of hundreds of people coming to the altars
in response to our Fathers Love. Many weeping profusely in repentance to our
Lord. I can never forget the expressions and tears of those being forgiven and
transformed before our very eyes. Yes, I believe that our Salvation is a very
visible and tangible thing. To be born again, forgiven and cleansed by the blood
of Jesus. Having our sins not only forgiven but forgotten, never to be
remembered again by God. Salvation truly is the greatest Miracle this side of
Heaven.
We were privileged to minister in 5 different locations, 3 cities and 2 Crusades
on this trip to Argentina. All had to be indoor due to the weather turning
colder and rain. To my surprise many of the Crusade services that were in the
rented Auditoriums, were standing room only. Multiplied thousands heard the
Saving, Healing message of our Lord, and again hundreds received a healing touch
from our Lord. My translator was from YWAM Ministries were he is serving
fulltime. He told me that he had never experienced a Crusade were there were so
many people being healed and testifying of it. God was glorified in a great way,
and He did not disappoint those who came to receive their miracle. People with
pain racked bodies for years, and even those who had surgeries testified of all
pain leaving, tumors disappeared, the deaf heard, and many with vision problems
were healed and able to read. One outstanding miracle was when a woman that was
doubled over literally, and couldn't walk straight up for years was touched by
the hand of God, and instantly stood and walked straight.
Only God knows what all actually happened in Argentina. We have been invited to
return next year to do even bigger Crusades in 2 cities and are planning on
returning probably in March. Please pray for God's blessings on our brothers in
Argentina.
By the time you receive this Ministry newsletter, Diana and I will be in San
Jose, Costa Rica. This country has been in my heart for years, and now it's time
to see what the Lord has in store. We will be in Conferences and Churches this
first trip to Costa Rica. Diana and I will be privileged to Minister in what I
believe is the largest Church in Costa Rica. They have 18,000 members. We are
already talking with the Pastors there about a big Crusade in the future. Please
agree with us for God's will and a very fruitful trip for the Kingdom. I am
honored to be going with my friend Prophet Bob Anderson, Trebe McGee, and Pastor
Rick Bennett of Christ the Rock Church, here in Memphis. TN. They are all
tremendous servants of the Lord, and I know God is going to use them greatly for
His Kingdom in Costa Rica. Please pray for open heavens over Costa Rica, and for
many to come to Christ.
Diana and I are currently coordinating future Crusades for the remainder of the
year. Each one promises to be huge, and each one will cost thousands and
thousands of dollars. The next Crusade in August will be in Bombamarca, Peru,
deep in the Andes Mountains, about 20 hours from the capital. We will be
attempting to preach the Gospel to people or tribes who have literally never
heard the name of our Jesus before. It's the truth. I am told there has never, I
repeat never been a big Evangelistic Crusade in this Mountain City before. We
are going to attempt to minister to about 15,000 people in an open-air Crusade
there in the Andes of Peru. Will you pray about being a part of this? We simply
cannot do this alone. In fact, I can't tell you the burden I feel many times
when I think about what the Lord has asked me to do. It's overwhelming. I feel
the burden for the lost, and for the finances needed to reach them in the way
the Lord has given me with Mass Evangelism. We cannot do this alone. We are
ready, willing, and able by the Power of the Holy Spirit to go into all the
world.
Will you pray about becoming a Missions Partner with this Ministry? I believe
that this is good ground, and I have seen first hand what the Lord is doing in
the Earth. "HOW SHALL THEY HEAR WITHOUT A PREACHER? AND HOW SHALL THEY PREACH,
EXCEPT THEY BE SENT?" Rom. 10:14-15.
