Fruit Behind the Darkness

 A photo can say so much! The photo below is from our crusade last month in La Paz, Honduras, and it expresses my heart as an evangelist in at least two ways: 1) Reaching the masses, which is expressed in the crowd in the background, and 2) Impacting the individual, which is expressed in the woman with her baby girl in the front. Notice the group of people in white shirts…those are the more than 400 police cadets who traveled from a regional Police Academy and sat together in a section of the stadium. Plus, another 80 cadets (some seen in the photo) were on the field in uniform serving as security. The follow-up continues in La Paz…so many individuals and families were touched through the crusade

Earlier this year my visa was rejected by the Indian Consulate because our last crusade in India had such a public impact for Jesus Christ. As a result, our February 2015 India Crusade was cancelled; however, in spite of being “blacklisted,” our ministry was still able to bear fruit behind the darkness of satanic Hinduism! Because of the support we receive from our supporters—people just like you—our ministry had 50,000 Salvation Tracts printed in India. During the crusade advance mobilization that took place before the crusade was canceled, our India crusade director traveled to the area of the crusade and distributed these tracts to 200 churches located in villages scattered throughout the region. We received testimonies from several village pastors. Here are two: “I am so happy and thankful to you because you sent gospel tracts…many are calling and asking [for] prayer and salvation. Up to now ten members have taken baptism. I praise God.”“We are very much blessed by your tracts. Through [the] tracts we are able to reach every home. People are coming and asking about repentance and salvation. So far we got nine souls. I praise God for [this] work.

Please join us in prayer for the next phase of church mobilization for our upcoming CRUSADE OF HOPE in Hobbs, New Mexico, September 13-16, 2015. I will be in Hobbs speaking at the pre-crusade Believers Rally, August 9. Then, our crusade director, Dr. Jim Coldiron, will be traveling to Hobbs again to conduct the Christian Life & Witness Course, August 10-11. Hundreds of Christians from local churches involved in the crusade will be equipped through this training in deeper intimacy with Christ, personal evangelism, and how to PRAY for, and INVITE, and BRING, non-Christians to the crusade. Plus, hundreds of local church members will be trained to be Crusade Counselors (like the man in the photo to the right from our recent Honduras crusade) who will talk to, and pray with, and fill out Decision Cards for, each person who commits to Christ during the crusade. Then, the Follow-up Chairman takes the decision cards and meets with the church leaders to begin the post-crusade follow-up system. For those of you in the Hobbs, NM area who want to be involved in the crusade advance training, you can get information and sign up on the crusade website at www.crusadeofhope.org, or email info@crusadeofhope.org, or call 575-318-1467.

 Your Support & Prayers are making a global impact—Thank You!
