June 2009


Greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Wow, so much has been happening since my last newsletter in March, and it's all GOOD! Let me begin by thanking all of our Partners and Friends in Ministry. Diana and I are so humbled by the fact that many of you pray for us daily and give so sacrificially to the Ministry God has entrusted us with. Together, I believe we are truly making a difference!

In late March, I had the privilege of ministering 4 times in 4 different locations in Argentina. This country reaches to the tip of South America, so there was quite a bit of travel involved, not only in getting there, but in Argentina as well. Each service was special, unique, and powerful. Hundreds poured down the isles in response to God's love and hundreds received a powerful touch from our Lord, praise God! Everyday God's Holy Spirit moved in a powerful way, touching, healing, filling, and delivering. In every service the Lord confirmed His Word with signs and wonders. I remember the last service was on a Sunday night in a very rough part of the city. I knew in my spirit that something big was up because I was very restless. I had tried to rest that afternoon, but the Spirit wouldn't let me. The checks were so strong in my spirit. I sensed the Lord saying Prepare, Prepare, and Prepare!

Even on the long drive to this service, I wouldn't allow my Coordinator or Translator to talk. I told them that we had to pray, that something was going on. It wasn't much later that night that I found out what was going on. The Pastor informed me that the night before, 3 Witches had showed up at the Church dressed in their Satanic Wardrobes, and that they began putting curses and hexes on the services. The Pastor also saw one of them come into our service that night. I want you to know that the same Jesus, who set the captives free 2000 years ago, was in the house that night. Not only did many receive Christ as Savior, but many were gloriously set free, and everyone received a powerful touch from the Holy Ghost. It was a breakthrough service! There are tremendous opportunities in Argentina right now.

After returning to the States in May, we had Latino Outreach at Gaisman Park in Memphis, Tn. Again, there was a lot of warfare against this outreach, but it did not prevail. There were close to 300 in attendance with many receiving Christ. There was also a divine move of God's Spirit on the children. After the Altar Call, I noticed one boy doubled over crying, as if he had been hit by someone. I asked a leader to quickly check it out, but then I saw the leader crying also. It was then that I noticed over 20 of the children weeping profusely before the Lord. They had received a love they had never known before, and it was like the Lord himself was doing heart surgery on each one. I then had many of our leaders come up pray and just love on them. It was a divine move of God's Spirit on the children in the park that day that none of us will ever forget.

In a matter of days now, Diana and I will be heading to Peru. There are many opportunities on this Missions Trip. There will be Ministry in 3 Cities. Diana will minister in her home town of Tarapoto, in Apostle Jaime Gomez's Church. Then she'll fly out to meet me in Iquitos for a 3 day Conference with Pastor David Gomez. We'll then travel another hour and a half further in the jungle to Naulta, Peru, for a 2 day Crusade and Conference. Iquitos and Naulta are in the Amazon Jungle on the Amazon River. The only way in to Iquitos is by plane or boat since it's surrounded by 4 rivers. Naulta is a small jungle village on the Amazon as well. I am very excited about Ministry in Naulta. I believe there will be people who have never heard the Gospel before, ever! What an opportunity. Even now we have people working hard preparing everything for a mighty harvest in the Amazon Jungle. Besides all of the normal Crusade Costs for Advertising, massive P.A. Systems, Platforms, Lights, Generators, and Travel. This time it will be different. You see this time instead of renting Buses and Vans to bring people, we're going to rent canoes and boats. Our boats will go up and down the Amazon River bringing the natives from their villages all along the Amazon.. Really, boats are the main means of Transportation there on the river. We're believing for at least 3000 to come hear the Gospel in this virtually Virgin Territory.

Will you believe with Diana and me for a mighty harvest in the Amazon? Even now, the enemy is raising up his ugly head trying to stop this. There are protests all over the Amazons now. That's right, parts of Peru are a little unstable right now. Pray for peace and for the Peruvian Government to do the right thing for the Native Tribes.

Diana and I are so glad that Ron Warren is going with us as well. We know that God is going to use him mightily in the Conferences. He's an Elder in our Church, President of the Memphis Full-Gospel Businessmen's Fellowship, and a tremendous blessing to us and the Kingdom of God! We're also taking our children with us this time in hopes that they'll get to see their Grandparents.
I have 4 more invitations right now for Crusades in Africa, Columbia, Argentina, and Peru. I am considering every one of them, and every one of them could be HUGE! If you would like to be a part of Impacting Nations for Christ, YOU CAN. If you want to sow into Good Soil, this is it. I believe that this Ministry is 100 FOLD GROUND! Diana and I thank you in advance for your Prayers and Missionary Gifts. ROMANS 10:14-15, How shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be SENT!
