Dear Partner in the Great Harvest,

             I greet you once again in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I thank God the pagan regime in India during whose reign the Christians were persecuted is temporarily out of power. Thus creating a breathing space for the persecuted saints, after the martyrdom of Graham Steins, and several other pastors in remote areas. We need to pray much as I feel persecution is coming back to India with reinforced strength.
             Since then I have reports coming in about the awesome move of God taking place in the midst of persecution. When the Christians were singled out to be abused and bear the shame for Christ in North India. It resulted in Great Revival. All over India christians began to pray and bring down walls of separation. 17 churches from the tribal areas of South Gujarat were added to our Ministry. Most of these churches do not have their own buildings but worship in Shelters or a simple structure which serves as a church. Even some of these were burnt down in the hate campaign . But as I wrote in my last newsletter, the Lord put an end to their power. We need to pray that the Lord will bring a righteous Government in power in India. Pastor Anil Benjamin came under a bad backlash from Satan right after the revival broke out in that section of the Gujarat/Maharashtra Border. As he was returning from a Crusade in Nasik City, his heart began to fail. We were really afraid we might never see him again, but in those 4 hours ride to Baroda after the attack, the Lord sustained him and now he is back into fire ministry. Right after that his daughter had severe seizure. His beautiful 13 year old daughter Sharon has been losing her vision in her eyes. Praise God she is better but needs strong prayers, and needs laser treatment which is not available in India yet. At the same time our churches have experienced tremendous growth. These village churches can be actually adopted by ministries in an effort to network evangelism in the millennium. At the Pora village the people cannot fit into the little building, that Abundant Life Church at Hammond helped us to build. A new building needs to be built. These structures can be raised at a fraction of what it would cost to build them anywhere else in the world. Signs and wonders are being reported at the Pora Work.

Capture before Rapture

           Never have the hearts of people been so soft towards the Lord like now. The Bible says "Their hearts shall be melted due to the tribulations" that shall come upon the earth. The Kosovo War, the past war with Iraq, the India/Pakistan War, famines in African nations, the rise of the European Community/currency, the hurricanes, tornadoes, rise in teenage crimes such as the school in Denver, Colorado, International terrorism are things that have caused a lot of fear in the hearts of people. These have caused people to seek GOD as than never before and these are signs of the return of the Lord Jesus upon the earth and the rapture of the Church. THIS IS THE TIME TO REACH SOULS FOR CHRIST, FOR THE HEARTS OF MEN ARE VERY OPEN TO GOD. There is a great revival of the Holy Spirit, more souls have come to Christ in the last 4 years than in the history of Christendom. It is time now to capture before the Rapture.

Are you a Missionary or a Mission field?

             The Word says says, "How beautiful are the feet of him who brings good news to the mountains." And how shall they be saved ,who have never heard, and how shall they hear, unless there is a preacher, and how shall they preach unless they are sent.

              I ask, how shall they be sent UNLESS THEY ARE SENT BY THE CHURCH. I believe God's desire for the Church to invest in missionaries and in missions. Either you are a missionary or mission field. Isaiah the prophet received a word from God, "Whom shall I send, who will go for us". He answered and said "Here am I, SEND ME".

              This ‘SEND ME' attitude, will usher in a great harvest. This will cause the Church, to sow the seed of the Word and Funds in to fertile soil. First we need to check if the soil is FERTILE, then sow your seed with Prayers and Tears. Just A word for the Missionaries, "Don't throw your SEED, sow it.
Remember whatever is sown with tears and sincerety will yield a rich harvest.

URGENT NEED

1.Pastor Parel Singh in Moradabad needs a vehicle urgently,which will cost about$5,000.00. If the Lord speaks to your heart, call us,(2).The Roof of Our prayer Hall in Agra leaks in Rains. Monsoons are here. Repairs Will cost about $1,500.

Praise Report:

              Our crusade in the Bronx was very succesful and the power of the Holy Spirit was very much present to save people from drug addiction and other bondages. One drug pusher, who just came out of the prison( leader of the Hispanic gang 'Nyetas') gave his life to the Lord and even became usher at the crusade). As we left he wept and said to me,"Pastor don't leave us in this condition, please come back for us, or we shall be destroyed". Another man threw the drugs and the needles he had and wept in God's holy presence, turning his life to God.

              There was a meeting arranged at NJ Assemblies of God Church, where the Power of God showed up in an awesome manner. The very first man that I prayed for, by the guidance of the Holy Spirit I told him that I saw him in the spirit, on a Harley Davidson Motorbike in 2 scenes. First I saw him with the Hell's Angel's and other gangs, destroying the lives of people, second vision I saw him in a Motorbike Ministry, in Brooklyn, Harlem and Bronx preaching the Gospel. He went out of the Church and got his Bike leather sure, what I did not know was, that his 'Harley' was parked outside. In that meeting the word of knowledge was operating so powerfully that it sent shivers down my spine to feel God so Close at Work.

               Fire of the Holy Ghost has engulfed the Ebenezar Full Gospel Church in Rockland County, where I saw the youth weep, laugh, groan in the spirit, pray for eachother, and prophecy. Two of the youth leaders, Bliss and Johnson have been mightily used by God lately, to bring the fire of God down upon various Universities and towns, This is just the beginning of God's move in the North East. Pastor K.V.Johnson is an ideal man of God with a passion for Youth and for Revival. May the Lord bless that congregation. The youth concert arranged by the youth of that church drew scores of young people who had no idea of what was about to happen, but when they heard the word of God, cried out to God for help.

               The meetings with my friend Bro. Alex did among the Hispanic community turned out to be a great blessing. Some entire churches felt the power of the Holy Ghost stirr them up. I have the feeling that a great move of the Holy Ghost is about to hit NY city among the Hispanic community.

                The youth led many to the Lord in the street evalgelism. From that day until today, the entire church of God congregation has been ministering on the street to people who are being liberated.

                 The meeting held in LakeJackson, many were filled by the Holy Ghost, God spoke to People through such powerful words of knowledge they were amazed at the Power of God. People who were previously set free by God's power were faithfully walking with Jesus.


                 One sunday, both morning and aftenoon services at Gideon Christian Fellowship, in New orleans the Lord touched the youth and their parents. I was amazed at the power of God in action. I do not take the glory for anything, rather give Him all the glory due unto His Name. I thank God for our church G.C.F., fullfilling the great commision,sending many men and women into ministry. I am proud to be a part of such a church whose Pastor and leader,Rev. Willie Wooten, has turned the battle back to the gates.

                  My last two trips to Dallas were blessed by God. In the first one, we had meetings at the Nations Vision Ministries, where the Lord did great things. One young man, for whom a lot of people were praying was touched by the power of God and set free. He received the Lord Jesus in his life. God turned him from suicide to salvation. Many others were filled by the Holy Spirit. Another young man at the end of the meeting, was thrown back so powerfully under the anointing, I do believe the Lord delivered him by the power of the Holy Spirit. He had been struggling.

                  In the second trip, the Lord helped me to dedicate the new church building of the International Family Church. A wonderful church which is being run by the north Indian brethren. Awesome things happened. Several young people gave their lives to the Lord. One lady(without anyone laying hands on her) fell under the power of God and lay there for over 30 minutes, she saw awesome vision of Heaven.In Detroit the Lord touched the Lives of many people, several people were healed by the power of God, the Lord spoke in the Convention concerning Jesus being the first fruit of those who would rise from the dead Several people committed their lives to the Lord. Pastors were encouraged by the Lord.The youth were specially anointed by the Holy Spirit.Bobby and Selina did an awesome job taking care of the team and in arranging the meetings which were attended by hundreds of people

                    In Chicao, the Lord specially touched a boy who could not hear or see clearly from the left side of his face. He was able to see and hear clearly.  Bro. Thampy and Pastor William Paul, arranged the meeting.  Bro. Samson Purohit is making a great impact on several lives in the gujarati community.

                     In lake Jackson, we preached at the Cornerstone Church, where Pastor Charles Logan arranged the meetings Several people were blessed the message"Be a city of Refuge within the City". The Holy Spirit came down in a very powerful way. Our friends Johny and Prabha were such a blessing to us.
Andy in Town.
                     Andy is a young man, who just completed the Teen Challange Training Ministry in Tucson, Arizona.Originally he is from India but was adopted by Dr.John and Linda Sietstra, Springfield, Mo. God brought him to stay/minister with us. He has a powerful testimony, the Lord is using him among the youth.  Recently Bro. Edward Ahmad and Rev. Samuel Kaiser visited us from U.K.,at our new home.
