Dear September 2019
THE CABIN
In the brief 19 days we were in the States we worked hard on our cabin that had been damaged by the breaking of a water line in the winter of 2018. Construction is still not quite finished therefore we have not been able to “move in.” We have cleaned, thrown away stuff, and organized that which we had packed so that we can live in the cabin as we begin to unpack it in October. In the mean time on to you EUROPE.
EUROPE
I write this letter at 35000 feet over Newfoundland, Canada. This flight is taking us to Europe. We will minister near Helsinki, Finland at “The Stirring Conference.” While this will be our first time to minister in Finland we actually met the Pastor several years ago while we were ministering in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. After preaching in Finland we will return to Florence, Italy. We will be speaking for the Anniversary Celebration of the International church there. May I ask you to pray with us for souls to be saved…the sick to be healed…believers to be filled with the Spirit…and a spirit of revival to break forth? By the way, if you are in a position to help us financially it would be a great help.
SPEAKING OF PEOPLE GETTING SAVED AND HEALED
Speaking of people getting saved the few days in the States have been profitable for the Kingdom. Four people responded to a salvation altar call in Crawfordsville, IN, but I really must tell you about the young father at the Pizza Hut. Linda and I had made a quick run into town for lunch. Linda asked a young father about his interest in music because he was wearing a t-shirt with the name of a band on it. I began to chat with his small son. After getting our drinks we moved to a table and in a few minutes the father came to the table. He asked us if we lived in the area because he was looking for a church. I did recommend to him the local Assemblies of God church. But more than that I was able to share the plan of salvation with him and in a few minutes he was praying with me to receive Jesus as Saviour. And then there is healing! After the Sunday night service in Logansport, IN we prayed for a lady with a bad case of laryngitis. She had not been able to speak in over a week. As we began to pray the Spirit of the Lord came upon her. In a few minutes she began to speak in tongues and then she broke quite audibly into a song of praise to the Lord. That is having church after church!
LIGHT THE FIRE AGAIN!
While we were Stateside we took my mother with us and attended the Light the Fire Again Conference in Pensacola, Florida. Daniel Kolenda, the successor of Reinhardt Bonnke, at Christ For All Nations had invited many of the key voices/leaders of the revivals of the 90s (Pensacola, Argentina, Toronto, etc.) to minister at the conference. The intent was to stir up a longing for fresh fire. Nearly 10,000 people gathered at the Bay Center in Pensacola. Several themes became evident during the Conference. Let’s not stop with remembering the past but it was time for the fathers and the sons to seek God again. Intercession was a theme for several speakers. Intimacy with the father is needed so we must find the closet of prayer. However the intercession is to lead to being sent. We were called to take the power of the closet to the streets. Repentance is not only for the world but for we in the church as well. We were called to a deeper level of purity. On Friday night it appeared the speaker changed his message and preached on the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. The ten thousand seat auditorium became an altar. There was not enough room to bring people to the altar so pentecostal prayer circles took over. Linda and I were very encouraged at what we saw and experienced at this gathering. Our prayer indeed is “Light the fire again, Lord.”

ANOTHER REPORT FROM TAIWAN
On July 27th I posted the following. “Another great day in Taipei, Taiwan. We met with a pastor from the Assembly of God in Taipei. The Spirit of the Lord came into that meeting.” Later that night we had dinner with Missionary Maxine Andrews, who has spent 57 years in Taiwan. We had come to Taiwan to listen and dialogue. The Lord God was certainly making that possible. On that same date I posted, “thanks to those who have helped make this trip possible. I think Kingdom connections are happening.”
The assignment to meet and to listen to key leaders in Taiwan continued. On the 28th of July we spent over two hours with a leader in a Bible College who is recognized as a prophet in Taiwan. He downloaded incredible amounts of information and perception regarding the national history and the history of the Church in Taiwan. The church appears to be experiencing good growth over the last several years, but is also facing many of the same challenges of the western church. Taiwan, for example, was the first Asian nation to recognize gay marriage.
On last full day in Taiwan I spoke for over 60 minutes to leaders from a number of fields (church, banking, government, business, etc). They were very interested in the journey into the five-fold we have experienced at the Outpouring in Terre Haute. The message was followed by a time of questions and responses. At one point they wanted me to help them identify their personal five fold status. Then we were taken to a rather secretive location for prayer and further discussions. Finally we were taken to eat (Taiwanese food is outstanding) and continue discussing future ministry in this nation. The consensus was that evangelistic events with signs and wonders will be significant for Taiwan. This will have bearing on a potential Taiwan for Jesus event.
We found the church in Taiwan to be incredibly gracious. We also find them to be very hungry for a move of God. They seem to have a strong sense of their prophetic destiny. Those we met have adopted a strong sense of the importance of prayer. They are looking to minister to the next generation. We discussed freely both the strengths and weaknesses in the church as they saw it. Again thank you for sending us on this exploratory trip. Plans are being made to return to Taiwan in December if the Lord permits.
EUROPE
While in Taiwan we met a pastor who had been a part of a church in Cambodia where we had previously ministered. That connection has led to an invitation to preach a conference in Helsinki, Finland. I did not see any way we could accept that invitation but what did not appear possible has become possible, so after a brief time in the States we will be going to Finland and then on to Florence, Italy.
In the June letter I shared not only about Taiwan but I also shared that after spending most of this year ministering in New Zealand that the next few months will involve a lot of international travel. I asked for your help. Thank you for your response. Because of your response we have covered all of the airfare for Taiwan. We have already paid for half of the airfare for Europe. We are able to cover the in nation expenses in New Zealand while we were in Taiwan and should have those same expenses covered while we are in the States and Europ
STILL HEALED AFTER SEVEN YEARS
Seven years ago I prayed with a man who had been diagnosed with cancer and basically was given a death sentence. I gave him a book written by a pastor friend who had survived the same type of cancer and then we prayed. I “bumped” into he and his wife at a cafe this week. Just a few days earlier the doctor had confirmed again that there is no cancer in his body. The wife served as a speechwriter and correspondence secretary under a previous New Zealand government.
