The Ministry

Do You Have A Calling For A Ministry From God? People of all ages and backgrounds have tremendous problems today and need a Holy Spirit-empowered person to talk with. The telephone offers a quick, convenient and economical tool to minister to them. A telephone-counseling ministry will enable trained volunteers to share their faith in the saving power of Jesus Christ. They will make available spiritual, emotional and physical healing through the work of the Holy Spirit; and will grow in their walk with God by doing the work of the ministry.

Newsletter #36

It is amazing how the Creator of the Universe uses ordinary people like us to accomplish His extraordinary purposes. Let us yield ourselves completely to Him that He may prove Himself mighty on our behalf and on behalf of the hurting who contact us for prayer. Nothing is impossible with God working in and through us. Jose John (Kerala, India) A woman, happily married for eight years was not able to conceive. She had seen many doctors, received treatments, and medicine with no success. Three years ago the couple met Pastor John in a special meeting. He prayed for them to conceive. God did a miracle, for without any surgery or further treatment she conceived and had a healthy baby boy and called his name Samuel. A man who was part of the staff in Kerala state government was married and had two children. For twenty years they lived in rental homes and longed to have their own home. He was praying to buy a plot and build a house. One day he attended a meeting where the pastor encouraged the congregation saying, “If you sponsor God's ministry, God will sponsor your needs.” At that meeting he decided to give to the Lord the amount of money that he had saved for the house. After receiving the money the pastor prayed, “Father, according to your word this man did what you commanded, this is your time to provide his need.” After three months the man received a call from a friend who was ready to give him some money to build his house. He had given to the ministry 1,000.00 Rupees; God gave him 12,000.00 Rupees which was sufficient to buy a plot and build a house. Dan Morstad (Minneapolis, USA) Our street witnessing team found a man who cursed the God of the Bible. A team member brought him to our drop in center called the Love Spot. The man said that he wanted to pray to Satan. After being counseled he prayed to receive Jesus as his Savior and Lord. He was given a Bible which he happily took. The Love Spot ministry is based on John 3:16. We've had Satan worshipers, prostitutes, and seekers of truth drop by and receive ministry. One of the street witnessing team had a word from the Lord that he would find a person with a tattoo on her arm and would tell her that God loved her. The person turned out to be a lesbian. She said to the team, “Do you know who I am? The Church hates me.” She realized that God had sent the team to her to express God’s love for her. No decision was made for Christ but we pray that God will bring another compassionate believer into her path. A Mormon, the wife of a former president of an African country, came to the Healing Rooms for prayer. After prayer she was healed and prayed to receive Jesus as her Lord and Savior. In 2009, 2176 people prayed to receive Christ. We have been seeing many miracles in the Healing Rooms. A young man came who had a problem with cutting himself. The staff broke off several spiritual soul ties and the Holy Spirit set him free. He prayed to be filled with the Holy Spirit and to put his body under God's control. The counselor laid hands on his ears and prayed. He received prayer for his hearing, lungs and stomach. After prayer she was able to hear and felt better physically. Louise Plamondon (Edmonton, Canada) A 15 year old girl came to the Salvation Army's Teen Support Chat Line. She spoke of brokenness in her family and was concerned that her dad was going to leave them. She reported feeling sad and lonely. As the Crisis Program Assistant chatted with her she sensed that beyond her current circumstances was a much deeper longing, that she was hungry for God without even realizing it. She was reminded of God's love for her and that she was designed to be in relationship with Him. After being counseled she invited Jesus into her heart and no longer walks alone. Our prayer is that she will grow and mature in her newfound faith. Bienvenue Nduwayo (Bujumbura, Burundi) A family had a serious problem for many years. On the first of August each year someone in the family fell ill and died. This took place four years. The Lord told Director Bienvenue that there was a demon of death ravaging the family. On July 29 he heard a voice inside say, “God's hand is not too short to save.” Immediately he prayed and in the name of Jesus chased the demon of death from that family. That was the end of the tragedy. There was great rejoicing in the family. They were used to mourning every August, but now they were rejoicing and praising the Lord. Frederick Okwuezolu (Kwale, Nigeria) A pregnant woman called crying because a scan showed that her baby was in breach position and that the doctor had recommended a cesarean section. She came to the office to receive prayer. After prayer the baby turned and she delivered normally. The Trinity Love Lines Counseling center has had several healings have taken place and many broken relationships have been restored. Petro Aziato (Lome, Togo) Recently Petro and his team conducted more crusades in Muslim villages. It was announced on Gospel Radio for volunteers to join them and many Christians responded. They did house to house visitation and the Jesus film was shown in their own language. The villagers were given gifts including used clothes, shoes, soap and other goods that were donated to the ministry. During the outdoor crusade, Muslims were afraid to come forward because they feared family and Muslim leaders. But when they were visited in their own homes, they showed much interest and many received Jesus as the Son of God and their Lord and Savior. In the village of Soudu the king, with his seven wives and many children, listened to the Gospel message and accepted Jesus as Lord, and Savior. Many came to the king's house to receive ministry and many healings took place. A woman was healed who had pain in her feet and could not walk. Another woman received healing who could not hear from one ear. In the evenings big crowds came to watch the Jesus Film and listen to Gospel messages. Many Muslims were converted. A church was planted in the village and a trained pastor was assigned to nurture them. Among those who received Jesus in the village of Boulade were many Muslims and Animists. A pastor was left there to teach and disciple the new converts. However, there has been persecution. A man wanted to kill his daughter because she became a Christian. He was counseled but refused to listen; after being warned that he would be reported to the police he left his daughter alone. Petro is believing God for a bus for the ministry, to cut down on transportation expanses. Manasseh Nduwimana (Bujumbura, Burundi) The Family Love Lines Center is a place where the needy people feel at home. The staff listens to traumatized people, and takes care of them leading them from loneliness to hope and success in life. The mission of our ministry is to create centers where needy people, orphans, widows, old and handicapped are cared for. Director Nduwimana has a vision to build three centers to shelter 90 needy people who will be trained and moved from begging lives to independent living. Recently we have received a copy of the document from the government of Burundi that has officially recognized Family Love Lines as a non-profit, social service organization. This agreement with the government has given Love Lines power to work freely in the country and also be acreditable. Gerphas Apondi (Eldoret, Kenya) There is a great move of God in Kenya. Many people are turning to God through phone counseling, crusades, and personal witnessing. Now the ministry has extended the counseling to street families. Every Sunday the Gospel is preached to several hundred boys and girls in the streets of Eldoret. They are fed and counseled, and are taken where they can be given a chance to attend school. Over one hundred people are counseled daily on the phone. Some visit the center and receive person to person counseling. The telephone counseling started in August 2008. Since then 500 received salvation, and 100 people have been filled with the Holy Spirit. Many have been delivered from drugs and alcohol. God has also restored many broken marriages. Sam Olet (Lira, Uganda) Recently, during the evening fellowship a woman undressed herself and started running among the congregation and came towards the pulpit and fell face down. Director Olet commanded the devil to leave and she was instantly delivered of mental illness. As a result of her healing 11 people got saved. Another woman with a history of mental illness for three years was also delivered. A deaf person began to hear. Another man had been sick for many years, and was seen by numerous doctors and hospitalized several time with no success. God told him to go to Hope Crisis Center and let Pastor Olet pray for him. After Sam laid hands on him and prayed he was healed. The Lord has been touching lives through Hope Crisis Center. Many Muslims are coming to the Lord in a unique way. They bring their children for dedication then bring their family members where they are taught the truth of the Gospel. They are also given humanitarian support. The new converts are visited in their homes and are discipled. Mc-Tally Tarcheon (Monrovia, Liberia) Recently the Lord has done a great work in the life of a former rebel fighter in the Librarian Civil War that lasted for 14 years. According to his confession he was a general in the rebel fighting group and had killed many people and buried them in mass graves. His victims included his own sister and her husband. He had a hard time believing that a man who had killed so many people could be forgiven. The Grace of God Prayer Center staff and United Christian Church members are presently praying for him to be filled with the Holy Spirit and become a devoted disciple of Christ. A 16 year old girl was attacked by demonic forces which would appear to her at night asking her to marry them and offering her food, but she refused to marry and to eat the food. She was brought to the Prayer Center unconscious. After fervent and persistent prayers she became conscious and was fully delivered from demonic attacks. She is currently living in the Prayer Center. I am happy to report that during 2008 our Love Lines Centers received 241,955 calls, 18,004 people prayed to receive Christ, 8,520 received the Holy Spirit and 12,246 received follow up care. As we enter into the Yew Year, 2010, let us believe God for the ultimate of all He has destined for us to be and do in His great Kingdom.
