Dear Intercessors,

“Our fathers have told us the deeds that you did in their days…”  PS 44:1

Joyce and I just arrived in Hong Kong to attend her nephew’s wedding.  They had a spate of gruesome murders over the weekend that has this city in a spin.  2 Tim 3:1 says in the last days perilous times will come followed by a list that couldn’t better describe the days we are living in, and which includes the word “brutal or savage”.  I am determined to tell of the GOOD NEWS lest we the people of  God become discouraged.

Sister with LUPUS 7 years up LEAPS out of her wheelchair

Kingdom Invasion

The conference was amazing.  The 7,000 seat auditorium had overflow crowds for the last night as news of the tangible presence of God was there, and as there were many wonderful healings. A boy was healed of club feet, and I have taken a picture of a girl who got up out of her wheelchair after suffering with Lupus for seven years.  She was literally leaping for joy!  Check out the link, https://www.facebook.com/kingdominvasionsingapore

I was privileged to be a host.  A highlight for me in this role was receiving Heidi Baker’s Iris Cambodia team, whom I then introduced to Steve Hyde who has the most mature and effective ministry in Cambodia (I visited Steve in Cambodia and he was a speaker at our recent retreat).  Heidi joined us for lunch as the connection brought together the wisdom and maturity, and the cry for laborers, with youthful, spirit-filled, willing to die for Jesus young people who see themselves in Cambodia for years to come.  I know this meeting will bear much fruit for years to come.

Weekend Ministry

I ministered three times this past weekend.  While Sunday morning was a powerful time at the Rock of Ages Church in Singapore, Saturday and Sunday evenings were a part of the 80^th anniversary celebrations of a Singapore company which has been owned by a Christian family for three generations and which has expanded to have many branch offices in China.  Saturday was an evangelistic message to all their managers from Singapore, Malaysia, and China, and then Sunday night was just with the China team.  Beloved, my deepest memory was for more than two hours on Sunday night all the China managers sat around and asked me sincere questions about the gospel.  I mean ALL.  The whole crowd was riveted to my sharing, though not one of them was a Christian before the weekend.  I don’t know how many came to Christ over the weekend, among whom were professionals who have graduated from China’s Harvards and Yales, but I can hardly use words to express the privilege it was for me to have presented the gospel with such clarity, taking illustrations from their own Chinese history, culture, and language, to these precious Chinese souls.

China Trip

Joyce will return to Singapore on Saturday while I will be back in China until April 8^th.  We are hosting another training of Chinese pastors from 6-7 provinces.  Most of these pastors have been coming to our trainings for the past 3 years, and are now ready to commit to a unified vision and to forming a Body for the purpose of mission, fellowship, and accountability.  It will culminate with 11 receiving ordination and then two intensive days of hammering out policies and principles of this Body together with Elim leaders and a select team of Apostolic leaders chosen to represent the rest.

There will be much to report from this time!  Pray for our security, and for the Lord’s hand to be upon Joyce and the kids while I am away.  In the meantime, don’t be discouraged by all the bad news that is out there.  “Lift up your heads”.  There is a lot of good out there too!

PS.  I didn’t even mention that Tabby is back and quite transformed from her mission trip to the Philippines.  She took some awesome pictures, which I will try to pick at least one out for you some time as well.

Nate Rogers & Anna Graves

Well, I told you that I had good news for you : ) Anna met Nate Rogers the first week she was in med school. Within a few months a friendship was blossoming and through time and prayer it has become clear that this was of the Lord!

I met Nate while I was back in the US last August. He and Anna traveled with me during a part of my preaching tour. Then he came to Singapore for Christmas. He had to pass the Jeremy, Daniel, and Charlotte litmus test, which he did with flying colors. If Anna had said no, he would have to answer to them!

Most on this later!!!

Kevin & Joyce

Our Daughter Tabitha is on a mission trip to the Philippines. Here is a clip from her blog…

His little ones – He wants it all.
Hello there!

I just have to say… the bread in Manila IS as good as they say! First off, I just gotta say thank you Jesus for getting us all here safely. It has been a crazy couple of days. From the second we got here it feels like we have been going on and on. It’s only been two days! But we must have some serious supernatural help because there is no way we would be able to accomplish as much as we have without His mighty help and sweet guidance. God is faithful.

Like I was saying, I know I speak on behalf of us when I say that it has been the craziest 72 hours of my life. From feedings, to the Jaz home (where the beautiful Josie’s angels reside), to the darling children’s home. We have already managed to get on one another’s nerves and take patience to new and extreme levels. But through that, we find ourselves learning, constantly challenged, and growing!

This is my very first time to the Philippines. And man, I love it already! I love what God is doing here and I look forward to what He will be doing. I could go on and on about the adorable children. Welcoming hearts, smiling eyes, and precious laughter. But at the same time, I see the disappointment. People go in and out of their lives. I see the hurt, feelings of being unwanted. And the worries of what’s to come or what’s to end. I see a people who don’t know what or rather WHO to cry out to. They want hope, freedom, true joy! My prayer is that we would be the hands and feet of Christ. And through that, they would know that they are apart of the body. They are such a significant part of The Kingdom. And He wants them ALL.

I had the opportunity to go on a feeding for the first time with a couple of my team members. It was overwhelming. The whole way there I was asking: “Please God, please fill every hungry stomach. Multiply the food! Every person that comes will eat. Whether they come with a bowl, cup or plastic bag. Feed your little ones.” (I had heard that several times there was not enough food and they had to leave the village without feeding everyone) I was determined that that would not be the case this time around. And sure enough, the whole village ate. In fact, some even came back for seconds! Praise The Lord!

So yes, we are being challenged in different ways! Personally, I find this trip very revealing. You learn a lot about yourself and one another. You have time to slow down and reflect. In a sense, you are forced to deal with yourself and where you stand with God. And what that means to stand with God. You can either chase after lies or run to the truth.

“How long are you going to love what is empty and seek what is a lie?” – Psalms 4:2

My prayer is that each and every one of us would be hungry for the truth, a real relationship with Christ. Because once you got that down, everything else just flows. I pray that He would speak to each of our little hearts and that we wouldn’t just think about it and be like “oh, that’s a cool thought!” But also dig a little deeper and let the things that we learn translate in our hearts and reflect in our very beings! 🙂

Thank you so much for keeping us in your prayers and thoughts.

Be blessed!
– Tabby
