DEBT
BE GONE!
Having
less than half of our monthly budget come in through regular
donations, we depend on one-time donations to make up for the
rest. Medical bills, school payments, repairs, and many more
expenses have led to us being in debt by an unprecedented 5-digit
amount. We declare that God takes care of ALL our needs
according to His riches in glory, and that this mountain of
debt be moved and dissolved!
HEALING
2 THE NATIONS
Taking
the healing provided in the Father's atonement through His Son Jesus
to the nations of the world - spiritual, physical, emotional and
national healing and restoration by the power of Holy Spirit.
That
is our mission statement. As soon as I found Jesus
at the age of 20, I had a desire to share the good news
of salvation and healing with everyone I met. I would give testimonies
about inner healing, and did a healing & counseling
school 3 years after getting saved. I served in the ministry
team in my church and had a passion to see God's people
healed and restored in every way. I also knew early on that God
had called me to the nations, and so Healing 2 The Nations
was born.
Once
in Mali, I saw a lot of physical healings, to the
point that people were coming from other villages, thinking there
was a medical team, and invited us to their villages. Muslims
would come to our base all the time, asking us to pray for them
to be healed. We've seen every kind of miracle
- the lame walk, the deaf hear, the blind see, just not the dead
raised yet (though the nearly-dead have been raised). When Randy
joined me three years ago, his passion for healing fit perfectly
into what this ministry is all about.
I've
always wanted to see healing in every way - spiritual
(salvation), physical, emotional,
and also national, i.e. to see reconciliation and
restoration of whole nations. Today we live up to the ministry name
more than every before.
We
started our trip in Austria, where we did some
ministry, and are now in French-speaking Quebec,
where we have ministered in different churches. Before we left Mali,
we saw a lady born deaf completely healed. She's
learning to talk and has brought her whole family to church with
her. Just a few days ago, Paul prayed for a lady who had had a sickness
for the past 5 years and she was instantly healed.
These past few weeks, we've seen two people with ringing
in their ears set free, another whose ear opened up. A
lady shared how her knees were still healed from when I prayed for
her before. A leg was lengthened, back and other
pains disappeared. Others shed tears as God healed
their hearts and set them free. I prayed with a 10-year-old
girl to give her life to Jesus, and the Lord has
led us to others who needed to hear of our beautiful Lord Jesus.
And these are just some of the testimonies we know of.
Why
do we travel? Because we are called to bring God's kingdom
to the nations. How exciting to see the same miracles we
read of in the Bible happen in Mali, in Austria and in America!
How exciting to see His children set on fire in
the Western world! May we ALL walk in the fullness
of all God has for us!
US
SECRETARY NEEDED
We've
been so blessed by our secretary Becky for the
past 4 years who served this ministry tirelessly. Becky has such
a big servant's heart, it's hard to see her go.
But we find ourselves in the situation that we need to find
a new secretary to take her place.
We're
looking for someone with a heart for this ministry who can empty
the PO box once a week, take and send me the check pictures
and deposit the checks on our bank account. That
person would need to have a computer, printer, email and a smartphone.
Our heart would be to employ our secretary at one point, but right
now it's a volunteer position.
Please
email me if you live in the United States and are interested.
QUICK
NEWS
- Spiritual
Warfare - A month ago Randy caught a virus,
and we have both been sick since. All the ministry we have done,
and the healings we have seen, were in spite of our sore throats,
coughs and hurting heads. Thank God we're nearly over
it. A few days ago Paul thought he was
dying one night, but was alright the next morning. All to say
that we cannot do it without God's people interceding
for us!
- Website
Offline - Unfortunately our website was deleted and is
not recoverable. For now only the latest newsletter appears on
our website until a new site has been created.
- Adama
gone - Adama (10) was one of the 13 children we lost
last year, and in April we were full of joy when he returned
to us. Last night he ran away again after
stealing a cellphone from one of the street kids sleeping on our
base.
- Finances
- Our well pump broke, some children
needed glasses, others had to go to the hospital.
Schools demanded the last tuition payment and
now want the enrollment fee for the next school
year. And we had no money for any of these expenses. If you'd
like to help us, please look on the left to see how you can do
so.
- Construction
Update - Construction of the next building that will
house our school in the beginning, as well as
dorms and the carpenter's workshop,
started on February 5th. Right now they're making bricks to build
the walls. Believe with us for the remaining 60.000€
or $73,000 to come in so we can finish it and start our
school.
- Disciple-Making
Groups - Our groups are going very well. Paul is leading
the first generation groups and since each person in a group starts
their own group, we now already have third generation
groups. Pray for His knowledge to cover all of Mali!
- First-Grade
Teacher - We are still looking for a French-speaking
first grade teacher to join our team in September. There
is such a need for a good, Christian school where the children
are treated with dignity and learn something.
Many of our Muslim neighbors would send their children to our
school. Please pray we'll find a teacher by fall!
- Malian
Leader Paul - Please pray for Paul who carries a lot
on his shoulders. Pray for his health, strength, and for his
wife to fall in love with Jesus and support him in ministry.
- Security
Situation - The presidential elections are planned for
July 28th. Mali is becoming more and more
radicalized by jihadists. Please pray for peace,
and for protection from jihadists.
- Miracle
Baby - Please continue to pray for our promised miracle
child to manifest in the natural!
- Volunteers
- Do you want to come change an orphan's
life? Do you want to heal the sick? Preach
the gospel to those who've never heard? Come to Mali
for a season and let God change your life. No language skills
needed, but French skills are helpful.
And
my God will liberally supply (fill until full) your every need according
to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. (Phil 4:19, AMP)
