Blessings in Asia!
DUE TO THE RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION IN THE NATIONS THATWE WORK WITH IN ASIA, WE HAVE EDITED THIS DOCUMENT TO
REMOVE ANY SENSITIVE INFORMATION IN REGARDS TO SPECIFIC LOCATIONS AND PEOPLE. THIS IS DONE TO PROTECT THE
CHURCHES AND PEOPLE WHO ARE INVOLVED IN MINISTRY IN THE UNDERGROUND CHURCH IN ASIA.
Team; my
daughter Victoria; and myself.
Dear Friends,
G
reetings in Jesus’ Name!
As I write these words, I
am on a crusade in Mombasa, Kenya. In this newsletter, I would like to
share a report from our
School of Ministry and
crusade held in Asia. Because of the prevalent
situation in the country,
churches were afraid to
let us use their land for a
crusade. We, therefore,
had to move our crusade
indoors and rented a
YMCA auditorium, which
was the largest indoor
facility available in this
country.
There were four of us on
this trip. Richard Mills, a
teacher from Texas; Svetla
Dilova, our Bulgarian
worker from our Africa
The trip upcountry was, to
say the least,
exciting! We
flew in a
crowded, old F27 Fokker aircraft. This more
than 40-yearold antique had
seen better days. It must
have kept its airworthiness certificate by the skin
of its teeth! Nevertheless,
we flew on this aircraft
because there was no
other option. The Gospel
had to be preached. We
boarded the Fokker with
faith in our hearts and
prayers on our lips.
The airport used to be a
World War II fighter base,
used at different times by
the British, Japanese, and
the famous American
“Flying Tigers.”
We checked into the
“nicest” hotel in town $30 a night, with no heat
and we only had hot water for 30 minutes a day.
The television in the room
showed only Chinese TV
programs and the only
thing that we could make
some sense of was the
American WWF wrestling
shows dubbed into Mandarin Chinese! I am not a
fan of fake wrestling, but
to watch American wrestlers yelling and threatening to break each other’s
limbs in Chinese was too
hilarious to pass up!
To beat the cold, we had
large piles of blankets on
each bed. The food was
Jesus Christ, the same, yesterday, today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8
Go Ye into all the World and Preach the
them packages containing
copies of all the faithbuilding books that we
have published in the language native to this country, two of my books, as
well as 11 titles by Brother
Hagin. I must add here
that these books have had
a great impact in the lives

School of Ministry session.
good - hot plates of fried
noodles every meal. It got
somewhat monotonous
after two days, but we got
used to it, nevertheless. I
located an Indian restaurant in town that served
lamb brains and rice, and
we enjoyed these whenever we chose not to enjoy
the fried noodles.
The people there were
excited about the meetings, and over 450 pastors
and ministers from all
over the region came to
attend the 5-day School of
Ministry. After checking
their registration details,
we found that all were
from non-Pentecostal
backgrounds, except for
two from the Assemblies
of God church. They were
from denominations like
Roman Catholic, Methodist, Presbyterians, different kinds of Baptists, etc.
The first teaching session
was on the Baptism of the
Holy Spirit. At the end of
the session, everyone
came forward to receive
the Holy Ghost. We proceeded to teach on faith,
grace, biblical finances,
healing, and several other
subjects. We also held
question and answer sessions every day
that were very
fruitful. The
ministers eagerly received
the teaching,
and were very
grateful. After
the meetings
ended, we gave
of pastors and believers
all over this nation. We
receive many positive
letters appreciating the
teachings in these books.
The School of Ministry
sessions were held in the
mornings and afternoons,
and in the evenings we
held indoor crusade meetings. The auditorium was
packed every night, and
many people even stood
outside the building to
hear the Word of God.
Every night, we saw hundreds pack the altars
seeking the Savior. God
also gave great grace to
confirm His Word with
signs, wonders, and miracles. Many deaf ears were
opened every night. Deafmutes began to hear and
speak. We saw blind people receive their sight and
paralyzed people who
were carried in by their
families, get up and walk.
Others who had strokes
and were partially paralyzed dropped the
crutches and walked.
Large tumors disappeared from people’s
bodies. One man who
was mentally deranged
and had lost his memory
was totally delivered.
Many glorious miracles
were done by our wonderful Lord Jesus in these
meetings, and for all this
we give Him all the glory,

honor, and praise because
He alone is worthy!
Many of our own churchplanting pioneers were
also with us in for the
conference. They had
good reports of what the
Lord is doing through
their ministries. They are
seeing people being saved
and healed and their
churches are thriving and
growing. This is the fruit
of our crusades and our
family, I believe it is going to be tough for Britta
and I to see them go, but
this is the will of the Father. I, personally, feel it
more and more as the
days go by, and we need
your prayers. Please do
pray for our family!
We are a pioneer mission,
and the people we reach
are those who are in desperate need of the Gospel.

est of the poor who have
nothing to give us in return. We are thankful for
the priceless privilege of
preaching the Gospel to
those who have never
heard of Jesus.
There is a simple principle, “When we invite the
poor to a feast, it is the
rich who foot the bill!”
We are privileged to live
in a part of the world
where there is prosperity
and plenty.
It costs a
lot to
spread the
Gospel, but
we can use
the resources
That is why we are thankful for those of you who
support this ministry
through your sacrificial
giving, and by joining
your hearts with ours and
praying for us. Because of
this, you have an equal
share in the fruit borne
through this ministry, all
to the glory of our Lord
Jesus. Thank you for
standing with us!
May the Lord bless you
and use you for His
Glory!
In Christ Jesus,

This year is a big
year for us not just in
ministry, but also for
our family. Our two
oldest children, Immanuel
and Victoria, are going off
to college. Since we are a

planned this year in poor
countries, Schools of Ministry in various places,
and also ministry in western Europe. In our crusades, we reach the poor-
available to us, and take
this Gospel to the lost. I
call it “money not wasted,
but money with a mission.”
Please pray for Christopher and the crusade teams—for safety and protection, as well as for the
people who will be impacted by the Gospel in meetings at these times and locations...
