While in New York City, Eric and his friends were going to a Brazilian church to hear some friends speak. Walking into the church Eric commented to Adam, I would just like to speak in a church where nobody knows me, and God just opens the door to speak. Well, that night the friends he was going to hear speak were stuck in traffic in NYC and were close to 2 hours late. The pastor found out Eric was a missionary in the Philippines and asked Eric to speak. In just a short time of speaking, a girl who was a lesbian, living with another woman, came and got right with god. Two weeks later, we returned to that church and were told that she also had just been baptized with water and still going after God! Praise Jesus!

There is a guy in a village who was off work for a while, came back to his village and was talking to some of the brothers in the Lord one day. They witnessed to him and he said that he wanted to know Jesus. When I got there they told me about him and that he wanted me to come and visit him when I got there. I ended up bringing the Jesus film there. Even before I got there he and his whole family were there waiting. One of the sisters brothers, who has been in the States working for the past year or so, was back too, with his wife. After seeing the Jesus film in their language and seeing the Passion of the Christ, they all ended up wanting to get saved. So I led them to Jesus right there, and then gave them Bibles and showed them how to start reading them. They said to me what I always hear when these Indians get savedWe didnt have any idea about this. I tell ya, there isnt any feeling like it. A part of you is mad because nobody has ever been there to tell them and another part is rejoicing with the angels in heaven.

One man that had prostate cancer called and we ministered to him over the phone. A few weeks later, he called me back and left a message on my cell phone that he has been healed from cancer! The doctors said that there is no cancer left in his body. Praise Jesus!! He is alive!!
We ministered a Mexican lady that needed major heart surgery. The hospitals here in Mesquite, TX would not operate on her because her family did not have the money for the surgery, so the hospital sent her home. Her family took her to a different hospital and as they were in the waiting room (which was full of people), I got a phone call. We met her and her family, and we ministered to her right there. Two days ago, I got a call with the news that this lady has started to function normally. She has been hungry again and eating normally; getting up to wash clothes and cooking for her familydoing things that before she could not do. No doctor touched her; Jesus touched her. This is why we need to take the gospel to the people, so that their faith will not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. Many times we do not see change instantly, but we cannot afford to think defeat only victory! We have to keep moving forward.

We held an Encountering God weekend in England for Christians from many different backgrounds and denominations. There were about 40 or so Christians that gathered together to seek the Lord. And the Holy Spirit touched us all. I was able to share a little about prayer, and it was great to see people from all different denominations being filled with the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, and learning to pray with the Holy Spirit as well. I love it when people are filled with the Spirit, especially when its people who have been Christians for a long time, as it instantly transforms their life and they are able to walk at a level with the Lord they didnt know was possible. Several of these Christians had never been baptized in water either, so we had some good old fashioned bathtub baptisms happen (and one in a lack on a freezing cold night as well). It was a powerful weekend and just a wonderful trip to England.

Teachers Day in Ukraine - Our team bought roses, cards and candy for the teachers in the orphanage where we serve. We went to the orphanage/school at the time they said the teachers appreciation ceremony would be, but it had already ended. We went to the director of the school to give him the gifts to hand to the teachers since they were already in their classes. He told us to wait, and then assembled all the teachers in his office instead. He gave us the opportunity to share the gospel with each one of them and to pray for them!! Then, the teachers that were once hard against us were in tears and inviting us into their classes. We have been ministering in one of three of the eleven grades there, and now all of the teachers have invited us to come! Praise God!

God can move mountains in a micro minute. I was at the FI Missions Conference, and in the first service God used Brother Wayne Myers (84 year old missionary to Mexico, who was the main speaker at the conference) to bless me. He saw that I needed money for a vehicle and pledged $3,000 and then two other people each gave me $1,000 towards my Land Cruiser right then, and it all happened in one minute. CMON JESUS!!! May He raise your faith!!!
