May 2011
Last month, I held a series of special services in Israel 28, 29, 30 April. The first meeting was for Holocaust Survivors – most of whom are over 75, sick and crippled, but needing Jesus to bring peace, healing and forgiveness into their broken lives. This service was followed by evangelism in Tel Aviv. – You can now watch repeat webcasts of all these meetings by visiting our website: www.eurovisiontv.org.uk .
I encourage you to watch these services knowing that God is able to do far more than we dare ask, think or imagine. He will hear and answer your prayers just as He did for so many in Israel. Jesus commanded us, "Preach the Good News, heal the sick." Up to 90% of those who came to the meetings in Israel were not Messianic Believers; they were not Western Christians who love and support Israel; but they were secular Jews and non-believers. In Tel Aviv, thousands attended the meetings – with even more watching online.
Even before the evangelism was held, hundreds of people had been touched by the Gospel during the preparation events. Pastor Viktor Dorozkin, who attended our Lithuania services last year, started 'social support campaigns' – to which his congregation invited their secular and even Muslim neighbors, colleagues, friends and family. Every one of these 'campaigns' concluded with prayer and a simple Gospel message.
The Bible says that our steps are ordered by the Lord and in His book all the days of our lives are written before they ever take shape. – I work in response to an unfolding vision. Looking back over 60 years of ministry I have seen the most amazing things! I have seen God come and touch a nation – in Hungary, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Georgia, and Lithuania – He has healed me of cancer twice and released me from a communist prison, but yet the scripture says we have not seen, heard or imagined all the wonderful things God has prepared for us! I believe I am still only at the beginning of what God has called me to do. – The Apostle Paul, writing to the Philippians, said that there has never been the slightest doubt that the God who started this great work will bring it to a flourishing finish!
Please continue to stand with me in faith for the evangelism in 2011 – we have exciting opportunities in Ukraine, Netherlands and Poland – as well as ministry in Germany and UK. It takes faith to put the vision into action, prayer to move the mountains and obedience to step out into the unknown. Thank you for your faithful support through the years. My prayer for you this year is found in 1 Chronicles 4:10, that God would wonderfully bless you; that His hand would be with you and keep you from harm so that you will be free from pain.
Thank you for your faithful support through the years – together, we will share the reward in the Kingdom.
