Exciting news about our October evangelism in Krakow, Poland!
Our organizing team have just returned with the latest news as they prepare for our evangelism. The impact of what God did in Lithuania last year has set Poland on fire with expectation. The evangelical churches already know me personally from past visits – the Bishop of the evangelical churches is inviting me on behalf of all the evangelicals. The Catholic Archbishop of Lithuania has told the Polish Catholics of the impact of the Lithuanian Crusade on the whole nation – more than 10,000 Catholics received Christ as their personal Saviour – so he recommends all the Polish Catholics to attend. – Now it seems that this crusade will be the largest ever in Europe! The Polish church leaders do not think that any stadium is large enough and propose that we hold the evangelism in the central square of the city where they hold all their major public events.
It is now expected that following Lithuania, this evangelism in Poland will influence the whole of Europe and potentially open up many other countries. If God through the Holy Spirit continues this powerful move of real evangelism, it could bring the first real revival in history to Europe! This is the vision God gave me 23 years ago when I held the first East/West Conference in Karlsruhe, West Germany, 1988.
The problem is the rising cost – this is the European Union with all its ‘health and safety’ regulations: the sound systems plus lighting, the policing and security. This is why we need to find new sources of financing the ministry to raise at least an extra £100,000 per month. Otherwise we shall have to cut-back to only one event of this size per year! Yet I could easily cope with at least six! But time is short and Europe is falling apart both financially and spiritually. – Time is critical, why? Because the Coming of the Lord is very near, the Biblical signs are being rapidly fulfilled, the political unrest in the Mid-East Arab nations and the economic crisis only just starting in the EU, plus the natural disasters are clear signs of the end of the age. I know that many of you give sacrificially and times are hard for you – that is why I ask you even more to pray with me that the Lord will provide a miraculous answer which will exceed our requests. As His Word says, exceeding abundantly... above what we ask…!
We realise that as the anointing of the Holy Spirit on this ministry increases, so do the calls for us to extend the missions to other countries. It is clear to us in our praying here, that the challenge is not to pray simply for finance for individual missions like Poland, but for the Lord to touch the hearts of larger churches or businessmen to increase their support. The challenge of faith facing us right now is either to reduce our evangelism (and our faith) to the size of our present budget – or increase our income (and our faith) to the size of the vision God has given us through His Word. – But I want to stretch my faith! Isaiah 54 says “Enlarge… Build… Spread out… For you will soon be bursting at the seams!”
Please pray:-
- We have wonderful opportunities to evangelise in Poland, Israel and Holland this year. Please pray that God would give our organisers wisdom, courage and faith as they prepare.
- The preliminary reports from Poland are excellent. – In Holland, pray that we can find a venue large enough for November/December.
- I will be ministering to about 5,000 believers in De Betteld, Holland in July – and Germany in August. Pray that the believers will be fired up to evangelise Europe with me. (These meetings can be watched LIVE www.propheticvision.org.uk/media)
- The pastors are asking me to go back to Israel this year – they are determined that God will touch His people again – please continue to pray for the critical situation there.
- In Malachi 3, God promises that He will open the windows of Heaven – and pour out a blessing so great that we won’t have room enough to contain it. We are utterly dependant on God to meet our needs – and I ask that you would agree in faith with us for these. – But we know that in this financial climate, you also need to be blessed by God; we hold daily prayer meetings in our office – crying out to God that He will answer all our needs and yours.
Thank you for your supporting this ministry. – It is a wonderful answer to my prayers
