GOD'S
KINGDOM CAME IN AUSTRIA
What
an awesome God we serve! Usually it's once a year I get to return
to my home country Austria, and I love to watch God open more and
more doors for me to share and preach, and see Him move in my beloved
country. I feel so blessed to be able to give back to my country
and my people. And it's so great to see God's power displayed in
a country with hardly any Christians, and not that much going on,
compared to other nations.
I
always preach at one little church that is very hungry for God.
Since they just want HIM, and give me every liberty to move in Him,
God just shows up. In fact, I've never seen God work through me
to this degree in Austria before. I was in awe of our awesome God!
The prophetic flowed, one lady was instantly healed, and while I
preached on the glory of God, His sweet presence descended. During
ministry time He also ministered to the broken-hearted with His
Father's love. I wished you could have been there!
At
another church, I did not preach, but it was a divine setup for
me to meet Austria's best-known (healing) evangelist who was the
scheduled speaker that day - amongst other purposes of God. We prayed
for healing at the end of the service, and several were instantly
healed, like the lady in this picture. And as you can see, Austrian
TV got it on camera!
I
have some invitations to preach in different places in Austria next
time around, and I can't wait to be back as His little girl, His
ambassador, His conduit for His glory and power, to bring His kingdom
to my nation of origin. In many ways Austria is similar to Mali
- forgotten, few believers, not much going on. But the day for Austria
is coming!
When
I left my country 7 years ago, I had some concern that I would miss
the revival that's coming to Austria and that I had prayed and labored
for for years. But the Lord promised me back then that I would not
miss it, but be a part of it. Hallelujah!
GOD'S
KINGDOM COMING IN MALI
Back
in Mali, we're in our third week of prayer and fasting as a church,
as part of the preparation for the arrival of 23 Americans
this Sunday, who will stay with us for 10 days.
We have an intense program scheduled together with them, of preaching
in 6 villages in 3 days (3 new villages that are all in walking
distance of the ones where we've already established a church),
handing out food to street children, doing our weekly program for
street kids, street evangelism, an open air meeting, services, a
concert at university, etc.
We
will need your prayers during those intense ten
days that start on Monday. Please check my blog
daily to know how to pray - it's only during our time in the villages
I won't be able to go online.
Pray
for signs, wonders, miracles, healings, salvations, protection,
and anything else God puts on your heart.
QUICK
NEWS
- Paul
- I've talked to Paul and found out that he only said he's getting
married still this year because he was angry with me.
He's in no hurry at all, and will not get married without the
consent of his leaders and spiritual parents. Thank God for this
resolution! Thank you for praying!
- Sama
(5) - Sama is one of the children who comes to our property
every day to eat, after having come to school. Sama lives with
her grandmother (Paul's step-mother) in an Albino family. She
recently lost her sponsor, and now we're looking
for a new one to support her for 40€ a month.
Please contact me if you're interested.
- Baby
Boy - I sent Fanta to have a check-up done today, and
she's gonna have a baby boy. Due date is about June 11th,
but since it's her 3rd baby, it should be sooner. Please pray
for everything to go smoothly, and baby and Mom to be in good
health.
- Solar
Power - We're still having problems
with our power system, so that we have to run the generator for
hours every day (which is expensive), plus we're without power
all night. I'm getting very little sleep because of the heat in
our house, and without power there isn't even a fan. Thanks for
praying.
- H2TNI
Incorporating - These past few months, I've put a board
of 6 people together for this ministry, and we're now moving forward
with incorporating H2TNI. We will have our first board meeting
this summer, and hopefully you'll be able to send your tax-deductable
donations directly to us in the near future. I'm still looking
for a volunteer to be our administrative assistant
in Augusta, GA. Required are basic organizational and
computer skills, dependability, and staying in touch with me by
email. At this point, it would mean a minimal investment of time.
You would be working together with and under the supervision of
Judy Slavovsky. Please email me if you feel qualified and called.
- Be
A Hero - God reconnected me with Wesley Campbell, founder
of BE A HERO, who was going to help us raise funds for our building
project two years ago. He has now taken on our project, and they
have just committed to raising $15,000 for our
project these next few weeks. That is why the amount needed for
our dining hall has gone down dramatically, but then went back
up because of risen prices. Wesley also wants to help
us in the future and double all amounts given
to our building project in the months to come, once the first
$15,000 have been raised. Praise God!
- Legal
Situation - Within days, I heard from 3 different sides
that my legal situation was not in order. It
came as a shock, and now I'm scrambling to sort it all out. That
is easier said than done, with 3 countries involved. In short,
I was told I need to pay taxes somewhere. But where? So I'm getting
in touch with experts in each country to find out how everything
should be done. Please pray for wisdom to find a resolution!
- Austrian
Television - The journalist from Austrian state television
ORF has done filming on two different occasions, and is coming
to Mali in September to film. The two little
programs will be broadcast after that.
- Nephew
Maximilian - Nearly one month after his birth, Max's
parents (my brother & his wife) were able to hold their son
in their arms for the very first time. The joy
is visible on their faces. Hopefully, Max will be transported
back to Vienna soon, and should be out of hospital within the
next month.
- US
Summer Trip - Check my final summer schedule on the left,
and in more detail on my CALENDAR
page. I'm looking for local contacts/places to stay in some locations,
like Washington, DC, and Garden Grove,
CA.
May
the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace
as you trust in him, so that you may overflow
with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Rom
15:13)
In
love with HIM,
