August 2005

I’m on the road again, this time in a place that is really near to my heart - the small and poor country of Zimbabwe. This is my fourth trip here, and i have been privileged to preach in many churches and village groups. This country is very unstable and volatile right now. The government is very difficult to work with, and is constantly moving toward communism. My work began in Harare, Zimbabwe. Here inflation has risen four hundred percent this year alone! The gasoline prices, since I have been her in just two weeks, have gone wild. It would be like you and I paying $2.00 a gallon one day, and the next day $17.00 a gallon!

I began my meetings with the Hatcliff Group both teaching the leaders and then preaching in the church. It is a native church, meeting in a bar up above the Civic Center, because there is a lack of buildings available for churches and the people are so poor that they meet anywhere they can. Pastor Moshoungou is a dear friend who is the pastor of the church. He is directing almost 100 churches and started pastoring this new work of 60 strong just a few weeks ago. I shared with them my heart and told them what a great privilege it was to preach in their church location at the bar, because it was sharing the gospel from the devil’s front porch. Actually it was a great opportunity to preach from the bar platform as so many people are hearing the gospel as they gather inside and outside and hear the good news. This church is growing up in a large community of drunkards and prostitutes. They are ministering on the main street of sin, and God is turning things around there. It was quite an experience!

While in Harare, I also had the privilege of teaching at the SEBI Bible College. This college has begun by F.F. Bosworth, a great preacher and missionary of yesteryear. They really kept me busy as I taught/preached four and five times a day for the entire week. And since I was in Harare for two weeks I was able to preach in other churches in the area, including Pastor David and Rhetta Curle’s church, Barrowsdale Community Church. This is a real “leading” church in Zimbabwe, and a place I am able to speak into the church body with great reception, as David and Rhetta are dear friends who host me every time I have come here. The Lord had me preach on hopelessness, and how to have the Blessed Hope in the midst of times like Zimbabwe is experiencing now. There are unbelievable dangers and violence in this area, yet what a great and glorious time for an awakening! Matthew 9: 18-38 was the text I worked with in several places and at several different points. There is a great harvest in Zimbabwe NOW. Not the easy reaping of a field filled so ready by good things, but a harvest of people who have gone through, and continue to go through, despair and distress. These are days of not just survival, but REVIVAL in Zimbabwe! Do pray for the church in Zimbabwe, a land where there is little gasoline, sugar, milk, bread, meats, etc., so many things that there is no way to obtain, BUT GOD is coming through to meet their needs is wonderful miraculous ways.

Before I went on this trip so many of you gave me items to take with me. Suits, ties, Bibles, 100 t-shirts for the pastor’s conference, and lost of candy and goodies for the missionary family here. Let me tell you, I had a very difficult time getting everything here. By my home scale, my bags were way overweight, but God gave me favor with the tickets agents, and even the stewardesses who let me put some of my things in the pilot’s cargo area (can you imagine that!). When I arrived all of my checked luggage was lost, but miraculously arrived the next day. What a blessing it was to give all these things out. Those who received suits and ties were most grateful, and the 100 t-shirts for the church pastors were greatly received! And you should have seen the faces of the missionary family who received the food and candies - mom and dad were more excited than the kids over the sweets.

There have been so many wonderful blessings on this trip. Souls truly saved, believers encouraged to carry on, promises of faith taken, and demonstrations of God’s wonderful healing and delivering power. The details and stories, I just don’t have space to tell! Our God is so great!

The last 10 days of this trip I am in Zambia - a very poor, but more peaceful, nation. I have been preaching and staying in the garbage dump area, where many people live, and are in desperate need of Jesus. I will have more details of my time in Zambia in the next newsletter.

Thank you once again for your involvement in this ministry. Each and every one of you are so greatly appreciated.

July 2005

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? As it is written, ‘How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!’” - Romans 10: 13 - 15

With the most wonderful news to the world in the scripture above, “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved,” then comes the question from God: but how can they know this great invitation to salvation unless someone goes and tells? I woke up this morning with this scripture and the thought of just thanking you all for sending me. I see faces in my memory of individuals who never will have heard the Good News. I recall helpless children, big-eyed and curious, crying “Mazungu! Mazungu!” (White man! White man!) as we walk through the streets and into their homes. It is so thrilling to witness to the village people who are always hungry for the gospel. I have been honored as they announced my presence calling me “Pastor Mahomby,” or “the Pastor that walks” - trying to interpret my last name, Walker.

These are great days of harvest! In many places, such as schools, hospitals, and prisons, there are large numbers being converted to Christ. It is also a great time for planting new seeds. There in the far off villages, where few or no one has gone yet, there are small churches being planted. They start with just a handful of people, meeting in a home, or bamboo thatched building, and then a tent. That’s when the church beings to grow! The joy of teaching and training some of the new pastors of these new churches has been such a privilege.

I was able to be home a few weeks in June. It gave me an opportunity to speak to some classes and groups. What a time it was rehearsing the events and ministry that takes place on my trips with many who were excited to hear the story going around the world; the story of Jesus.

Also in June, Judy and I had the great privilege of working with 5th Graders in Vacation Bible School! All week the kids had a penny collection competition - boys against girls - with the money going to missions. It was quite an intense competition. They totaled more than 1,500 pounds of pennies gathered for the competition. At the end of the last day of VBS, after it was announced the girls won by over 300 pounds of pennies, the kids were told that the monies would be going to Dave Walker Ministries. Judy and I were absolutely stunned! We had no idea, and were blessed beyond words. Thank you to everyone involved in this penny ministry! Your pennies will be used to feed orphans in South Africa, buy tents for new churches in villages in India, and purchase materials for children in both countries to learn about Jesus. We cannot thank you enough!

As you read this I am in Zimbabwe until July 14th. From there I will go to Zambia and return home on July 29th. Please keep me in your prayers. Though I have been to these places several times, there are always challenges and testings. With your prayers I am able to go with confidence. Thank you to all of you who have made this ministry effective by your encouragement, prayers, financial and material support. We are so grateful for your desire to be part of this ministry, and could not do it without you.

June 2005

During the month of May I have been home recouping from the last two trips, with much needed family time, and planning out the rest of the year. It has also given me time to share the work that is being done through this ministry with people of all ages. I have had the greatest time speaking in several adult Sunday School classes, to the boys in the 5th grade AWANA class, and being the speaker at Valley View Church a couple Wednesdays ago - an event I have looked forward to for 22 years! What a blessing it was to be in the Valley View pulpit again!

At the end of May I am heading out west to Utah and Arizona. I will be at Pastor Shane & Tammy Wallis’s church, Harvest Christian Assembly, in St. George, Utah, Sunday, May 29th - a precious and powerful church that is located in the heart of Mormon country. Then on Memorial Day I will be heading down to the Phoenix, AZ area for a week where I will be speaking at Pastor John & Fran Annato’s church, Oasis Family Church, on Sunday morning, June 5th. What a privilege to return to where we ministered for six years in the Phoenix area. These are both powerful city churches that have a world vision. I will also have time to visit three of our boys who still live in the Phoenix area, Brent, Bart and Ian, so I’m really looking forward to this trip. It will be a great time to share with many old and new friends the vision and dream of the evangelistic and church building ministry Dave Walker Ministries, Intl. has become.

May has been a great time to hear folks share in their excitement of being able to be a part of a world-wide ministry. I will be taking with me to Zimbabwe, at the end of June, 100 shirts for pastors in a Pastor’s Network Fellowship Meeting of Zimbabwe churches. These shirts were made possible by help from Mark Vincent and Valley View church. The pastors in Zimbabwe will cherish these shirts as a reminder of the strength they have in numbers in their devastated country. Along with financial support, we have also received material to send to Africa to be used to make clothes for orphans, while others have donated glasses, hearing aids, shoes, Bibles, suits, Christian books, and one group of ladies who minister to missions will be sending candy and dry foods, such as cereal, that are not found in many of the areas I go to. So many wonderful generous people, all impacting mission fields in other nations.

This has also been a good time of others encouraging us, reminding us of their prayers, and so many being so generous with their financial support for the ministry itself, and specific projects. We are so grateful for the churches, Sunday School classes and individuals who sacrifice so much to make possible the reaching out to groups that have yet to hear the Gospel, and the building up and encouraging of native pastors, who can reach their own people better than we can. It really gives us all a chance to participate and fulfill the Great Commission (great in dimension, and great in demand) “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations (all the ethnic groups) baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28: 19-20. Amen!

May 2005

After being in Africa for two months it was good to get back home. I must have preached 100 times or more while I was away, travelling to so many villages in three different countries, preaching in small churches and big churches, in comfortable settings, and not so comfortable settings.

The crusade meetings in Africa are always characterized by explosive spontaneous worship with dancing and songs that seem to go for more verses than you can count. The air is filled with praise and shouting. Dancing starts and will last for an hour or more, as the air gets dusty under the tent, but is charged with an expectancy and anticipation of God showing up.

It is often said, “Come to Africa to meet God. Watch Him come down and play with His people.” How true that seems to be. No matter what cares or ailments one has, he feels the energy and expressions to loose himself in worship with praise to the Lord as the singing starts. The music is loud - but the singing is even louder. How easy it is to get caught up in the joy and glory as God does come down to meet His people under the tent! And while you’re there you can’t be in a rush, as after an hour of worship, the leader say’s, “Let’s dance before the Lord,” which will last at least an hour, and then the testimonies come of those who have already been affected by the prayers of faith with blessings and healings. And after all of that it’s time to preach, but the people are still hungry and to preach less than an hour or more would not be enough for them. It’s an all day all night service for them! And why not? Who’s in a hurry? There’s no TV, no home entertainment centers - not a lot of extras in life. But there is time. Time to meet a holy and awesome God!

After each meeting - time after time - there would be ½ hour to an hour of time when I would pray for the sick and needy, as they lined up or crowded in in desperation for salvation, healing, deliverance and blessings. I wouldn’t skip one - just to touch them, love on them, question their needs, anoint them with oil, and pray trusting God to meet them now, in this place, under the tent. And God was always gracious and generous to meet so many needs. He really cares for and loves those in desperate need for Him - to hear their need and give then His answer for them. It is that moment of faith and abandonment to see God enter into their desperate situation that ever amazes and thrills me on the trail! It always makes it difficult to leave Africa - it always causes anticipation for the next time on the field. I can’t thank you enough for sending me.

As I finished up in South Africa, I spent the last two weeks with my good friend Pastor Joey Chetty at Christian Assembly near Johannesburg, and had the privilege of going to their Christian school. The books that several of you have helped me collect have developed into a wonderful library for the school, as well as for the Bible College we are preparing to open soon. Thank you! I am always in need of Christian books, Bibles, tapes, etc. for Christian schools and Bible colleges I have become associated with in my travels and would be glad to be able to send more. All you need to do is get them to me at the address on the back of this newsletter, and then I will get them to Africa.

We’ve started a feeding program in the Willie Mandella slums of Johannesburg, populated with more than 4 million people and are now feeding 750 orphaned AIDS children who live in the day-care facilities provided for them in the slums. It would break your heart to see the desperate young faces. We also ministered to the orphans in Orange Farms, and are laying the foundation to open the orphanage soon. We have picked up some interest form local businesses and even the government, and are hoping they will follow through with help. Once the orphanage is officially opened, it will only cost $20.00 per month to feed, house and school one orphan. We are grateful for those of you who have been donating for the special project of the orphanage. We are still in need of several more to cover all of the children we will house. While this is not our main emphasis of ministry in South Africa - how can you turn a deaf ear and close your eyes to the need of hundreds of thousands of children orphaned by AIDS?

Thank you for your prayers and financial support. Thank you to the two Sunday School classes who provided money for tents, one of which has already been purchased and put in service with the Zulu tribes of South Africa. And thank you for those who have given Bibles, glasses and hearing aids. Your generosity is so greatly appreciated.

April 2005

As you read this newsletter I am in Johannesburg, S. Africa. It has been a long trip, with just two more weeks to go, but it has been amazing. After a day and a half of flying to Malawi, as soon as I arrive I was off on a 14 hour bus ride to the northeast part of the rural countryside. I stayed in a village nestled in the jungle area, where I walked on thin dirt paths among the cornfields to the mud hut that became home that week.

The churches there had prepared with months of praying and fasting that even continued while I was there, and after I left. They were up at 4:00 am praying until 6:00 am every day. This had produced a great atmosphere of expectancy upon what God would do. We had a week of meetings that will be one of the most memorable of all of my trips. Over 1,000 came each night, crowding the church that was build for 300. There were so many people outside, all along the windows looking and listening in. Fifty to sixty got saved each night and wonderfully filled with the fruit of repentance. Each night there were dramatic healings, blind seeing, one lame lady totally healed, some who had terrible diseases reporting they were healed and delivered. People came back night after night with great reports for the Glory of God. During each day I had three meetings with the bible college students who, after the meetings, daily would then go to pray for the services at night. Then Sunday came, and what a Sunday it was!

We started at 9:30 am, only to stop at 7:30 pm! They had given me an hour for lunch, but they continued to praise God and worship. When I returned to preach after lunch, I preached on “The Fire That Fell,” and it did! I have never seen such an eruption of praise and worship! I found myself caught in the dance and worship along with everyone else. What a time! To add to the excitement, during the week in many services the electricity would go out, along with other distractions, including the terrible heat caused by the long term drought that was blistering the country. On Sunday, not only the first of God fell, but at the end of the service the heavens opened up and the rain fell and fell and fell and fell! The drought was over! What a wonderful manifestation of God for the people!

It was very hard to leave, but I had to move on to Tanzania. On the way there the roads, which were normally just dirt paths, were now mud tracks that were almost impassible because of the rain, but we made it. There in Tanzania I was part of the opening of a bible college and preached daily too. These were wonderful meetings with such hungry people. It was a privilege to help open and teach at the new bible colleges in Catipa, Malawi and Mbeya, Tanzania. Both were wonderful opportunities to share with men and women preparing for ministry to reach their country for Jesus.

After a week in Tanzania I flew to Durban, S. Africa where my good friend Pastor Stanley Moodley had set up meetings for me throughout the area. My first destination was with the Zulu people in Mandini for a week. It was a great week as so many people came to the Lord under the tent. It was so exciting to see the Lord move among the Zulu people, and to worship with them. They worship in such a way as to put their whole self into their worship and prayer. They were all so loving and kind to me, and they just could not understand and asked several times “why would you, a white man from America, come and stay with a black preacher, a Zulu, and eat his food? Why would you want to come and preach to us?” It was such an honor to be there and share my life. At one meeting among those saved was a young white lady. The next day we went to her home and her husband hot saved too! The Lord moved mightily in Mandini that week.

While in Durban I attended the CEA South Africa Conference and spoke on Sunday the 19th. I saw several of my pastor friends including David Curle of Zimbabwe and Pastor Golden of Zambia, whom I hope to visit this year, along with Dr. Bronkhorst of S. Africa, and others while there. I also was privileged to return to the Transcry area on the south east coast of South Africa for a crusade from Thursday the 24th through Easter Sunday. Once again, God moved mightily throughout this crusade.

The next two weeks I will be in the Johannesburg area ministering in churches throughout the area and at Orange Farms, a rural slum settlement of 500,000 people. This is where the orphanage we have set up and started is located. I will have pictures next month of this trip, and more details to tell of the meetings in South Africa.

Thank you so much to all of you who are supporting this ministry financially and with prayer. Without your help the people would not have been reached. You are such a vital part of all that takes place on these trips. Thanks also to those who continually support the orphanage, and those who have taken on a special project to purchase tents to be used as tart-up churches. And thanks to those who have given suits, bibles, glasses and even hearing aids. These gifts will continue to bless those who have received them for many, many years. Your generosity is so greatly appreciated.

March 2005

What a privilege it was at the beginning of the year to go into new areas to preach and teach. On so many trips I have found areas over and over again where peoples of great numbers have never heard the good news of Jesus Christ. Thank you for helping me get there.

Romans 15:20 is a personal goal and mark for my life and ministry as there are still so many lost souls throughout the world who have never even heard of Jesus.

As you read this I have just finished a week in Malawi, Africa where I have had the privilege of being the first to lecture at a new bible college there, along with preaching in local churches. I am headed for Tanzania this week where I will do the same at another new bible college, along with preaching at local churches. These are new fields of ministry for me. The connections I have for these countries came from the pastor’s conference we had in Kenya in late January. (1450 pastors attended the conference and 90 got saved! - it’s good when pastors get saved!)

While I was in Kenya that last week and a half, I joined in with a wonderful team from Nashville, TN, Ray Brunson & World Light Ministries. Three nights of crusade meeting were held and over 100,000 were in attendance, with most of those attending having had to walk for hours and hours to get there. Many thousands gave their life to the Lord, and so many miraculous healings and deliverances occurred! After my return to Louisville, I received e-mails daily from preachers in the area reporting the growth of churches, the amazing confirmations of AIDS victims healed, the blind seeing, and the lame walking! I could never tell the full story. God moved so powerfully in so many amazing ways on the people in Ahero, Kenya. It was a privilege to be there.

I’ve included several pictures of my last trip to Cambitore, India, the Masai land in Kenya, and the pastor’s conference and crusade in Ahero, Kenya on the back. Thank you for being a part of the ministry that took place in these areas with your financial support, and your prayers. You are so greatly appreciated and loved. Please continue to pray for me while I am on this trip. your prayers are so essential to this ministry.

February 2005

As you read this letter I am on my way back from Coambitore, India and Kisumu, Kenya. Getting to India this time was a real challenge. I had gotten my tickets late, so I had layovers of over 12 hours in several places which added several days to my travel. Coambitore is located just on the edge of the tsunami destruction. It’s amazing how India has responded to this catastrophe - it really gave a great opportunity for sharing the gospel in the midst of the despair of those in the area.

In Coambitore I worked with Sam Dominic, a converted Catholic India, for 10 days. He is a music evangelist, specializing in classical India gospel music. His music is so anointed, and is impacting the rural areas and the high Brahman Indians. It was a great blessing sharing the gospel after his music. I preached in mostly rural areas, in churches of bamboo and tin. The crowds were amazing. The churches were overflowing and at the open air meetings so so many people gathered to hear the gospel, with so many being saved. The tension is really high when open air meetings are in progress in this part of India. The RSS (the high Hindu radicals) are always ready to disrupt and persecute Christians, even sending them to jail and killing them if they feel it’s necessary to stop the gospel. Near the end of my time there, I was told they were after me but the Lord managed to move me on to Kenya before they found out where I was staying.

On my way to Kenya I again had a 12 hour delay in Dubai, and a 20 hour delay in Nairobi. I couldn’t stand the airport any longer and decided to go downtown to a $10.00 a night hotel. Well, you can only imagine what it was like… no I’m not so sure you can! I did feel safe though, and got the rest I needed.

After arriving in Kisumu, I was wonderfully greeted and miraculously connected with Bill Green, a good friend and seasoned evangelist for some 30 years. In the 70’s and 80’s he traveled with the greatest and most known evangelists in America, but the past 10 plus years he has traveled abroad to evangelize and teach the principles of faith to the poorer churches of the world. I had met Bill in Duhra Duhn in November, and I can only tell you that it was a divine appointment, too hard to describe on paper, finding him in Kisumu. I had known he would be in the area, but had no idea where. The Lord brought us together, and he took me to the Massi land to preach to the Masai tribes. There we stayed in “glorified” tents on the river banks, with crocodiles and hippos in the water (hoping they would stay in the water) and preaching to the tribes by day. Wow! What an experience! In some of the areas we were actually the first white preachers to come into the bush and high grass areas to the tribes. The Masai people are very serious and straight faced. They wear red, symbolized that they are always ready for war. We were able to lead many of them to the Lord in the villages, and even several on the road, and the joy that filled their faces was incredible!

This last week and a half, I have traveled daily to schools and churches in the rural areas, preaching to hundreds and hundreds of people, including many boys and girls and then off to another school or church. Everyday preaching 6-7 times, and even one day 10 times in preparation of a week-long crusade I will be a part of with Roy Brunson of World Light Ministries out of Nashville, TN. and several other men. We are expecting over 100,000 to attend, and will hold a Pastor Conference with 1,200 pastors already signed up to come! This is going to be quite a week, and I will look forward to giving you a great report.

I have also been able to go to several prisons in the area where the Lord has moved miraculously. Thousands have been saved and in the maximum security prison hospital on death row, we were able to go in, share the gospel and pray over the sick and dying. Instantaneously the blind were healed on the spot, and those with AIDS were instantly healed also! It was incredible. The hospital was cleaned out!… everybody was healed! Even several on death’s door received the gospel with thanks on their lips and then passed on to Glory. It was amazing powerful move of God, one that changed so many lives including my own.

Thank you so much for your prayers. This trip has been very challenging. God has healed me once, saved us from a very dangerous car accident (almost going into a ravine flipping off the road), the RSS threatening in India, money running out, and God miraculously providing in strange territory. Please continue to pray for me. I will be back home on February 1 with my next trip out on February 21. These trips are very close together yet I must go. The opportunities are so great and the fields are so ripe for harvest. I will be going to Malawi and Tanzania and then all over South Africa. I will return on April 11. In May and June I will be back home, over which time we hope to be able to visit with many of you.

Thank you so much for upholding this ministry financially and with your prayers. Some of the special projects that were mentioned in the January letter are underway already, fulfilling the urgent needs in several areas. Thank you to those who have been able to help and participate in these extra projects. They are ongoing so this extra help in welcomed anytime. Your help in all areas, including monthly support, has made this ministry effective to so many people in so many places. We are so grateful for your desire to be a part of this ministry, and could not do it without you.

January 2005

I was reading the Colossian letter earlier today, and I saw how Paul had such a burden for the regions still to be reached with the Gospel. While reaching forward with one hand, he still was able to reach back and hang on to those who undergirded him and supported him. There were two things that he always kept close to his heart:

1. His gratitude for those who shared the mission mandate.
2. His burden for those still unreached, unloved, and not knowing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I see him pull these two things together in Col. 4:3 - “Pray for us, that God would open to us a door for the word, to speak the mysteries of Christ.”

In so many ways, I have felt this prayer so real to my life as i have asked you many times to pray for me while I was in various places around the world. Time and time again the stories seem to repeat, as I have gone over and over this year, into areas that have heard very little or nothing at all of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I have also, on a number of occasions, been able to spend weeks with pastors, leaders, and bible college students, helping training, supporting, and encouraging their preparing to go out into areas you and I can not go to. I also was able to speak to many leaders, pastors, in local churches from the northern borders of India, to the Kenyan jungle, the bush country of Zimbabwe, the wonderful city of Johannesburg, to the dirty and dark slums of Midrand, South Africa.

In 2004 there have been thousands saved at Crusades, and hundreds and hundreds experiencing the healing power and deliverance of Almighty God. Hope and peach have come to so many as we prayed for and believed God with those seeking His help, resulting in smiles of joy, tears of freedom, sighs of relief, and new hope in faces that once were dark with doubt, fear and hopelessness.

Thank you, thank you for helping me be there to see God do so many amazing things. To those churches and wonderful individuals who have helped in financial support this past year, thank you so very much. All the money you have been so generous to send has gone to travel expense, ministering, and for support of works overseas in places no one else is helping. And to those of you who have interceded and prayed, thank you. More than once I found myself in very risky and challenging situations, and I know your prayers got me through them. many of you told me how God would wake you up in the middle of the night, or some odd time of day bring my name to your heart and lips as you found yourself praying for me. Thank you.

Thank you also to those who gave extra money designated for the orphanage in South Africa. It is already up and running in the Willie Mandella Slum. We are working with three ladies who have gathered many of the orphans together. They are being fed, clothed and educated for just $20.00 each month. We are hoping to help more orphans and are still in need of monthly support for this project, and another orphanage in Oressa, India.

After completing this first full year of international ministry, we find ourselves so blessed to have experienced so much, and touched so many. While still in need of support to meet our basic monthly needs for the ministry, we are burdened for the needs of those we had the privilege to minister with. So in this new year of 2005, we have several more extra projects that we have felt the need to help and support. The needs in other parts of the world are tremendous. We’re hoping you may want to take on a project, whether it is you as an individual, as a family, a Sunday school class, or a church. If the Lord burdens you to help with any of the following projects, please be sure to designate your donation to that which you want to help. They are as follows:

Project

1. A new tent for a church to meet in Oressa, India - $250.00
2. Microphones (new or used) so all can hear the gospel at the meetings - Dontation or $100.00
3. Orphanages: continued support of the South African orphanage and also for an orphanage in Oressa, India - $20.00/month/child
4. A generator for rural preaching in India - $700.00
5. Building of a Bible school in Oressa, India for 25 students - $300.00/month or $15.00/month/student
6. Cost of building - $8,000.00
7. Books: used or new Christian books for churches and Christian school libraries in S. Africa and India - Donation
8. Church buildings in S. Africa and India - $1,000.00 to $3,000.00 each
9. Suits and ties for pastors in S. Africa, India and Mexico - Donation
10. Support to rural pastors in S. Africa, India and Mexico - $25.00/month

If you are getting this newsletter and haven’t yet participated in any project, or monthly support to the ministry itself, please consider starting this year. All monies will go to the field of ministry you would like to help. If we work together so many more will be reached with the Gospel, and the above projects will be met.

As this new year gets started I am headed back to India on January 3-12. I will be in Tamil, Nadu, which is one of the areas where the tsunami hit on the eastern India coast. The need for ministry there is great. From there I will go to Kenya on the 13th to minister in Kisumu, where I had ministered last Spring, and will return on February 1.

Thank you once again to all of you who have helped this ministry in so many ways, whether it be through intercession, financial support, encouragement, or something else. You are a part of everything the Lord did in ministering to the individuals in the places I was able to go to this past year. You are greatly appreciated and loved.
