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.
