Dear Rev. Paul bananno
Praise be to the Lord Jesus
Thank you for your prayers from the inner heart. Your words are always encouraging me so much and thank you for the same.
thank you for your message and your prayers,me too im in prayers for you,there is a way im perceiving you,rev paul,you are going to be a great minister of God,but presently under going tests,just like the biblical job,please do not feel the circunstances and presures but let your eyes be on the king of kings,afflictions if perceived well are mean for training us,in the military when they want to engage in feroucious battle,they are mean to go through rigourous training,those weeks,they are called [hell week],because of the thing they ill engage in ,
this is also applied in the spiritual,
be assured of my prayers,till your own appointed time to manifest,let our prayers now be GOD LET THE TIME COME,
thank you and God bless
remember my words,you shall be bessed! you shall be blessed! you shall be blessed!

Dear Rev. Bonanno,
Greetings from --------- through Christ's name. We are indeed glad to get your new contact address. We are still struggling through prayers that we reach the promised land in heaven. God has promised that those who fear His name shall inherit eternal happiness after many tribulation. This is a comforting and blessed expectation inspite of all strife, difficult and grief in this life; when we say in our trouble! Oh that one will give me to drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem; he himself shall give us to drink, what a blessed moment shall it be? We request for your prayers and we thank you for your teachings that we are using.

Dear Rev. Paul,
Thank you for your prayers for Aaron. But this letter is more in regards for your medical concerns. I am extending an invitation to you. I attend Victory Faith Ministries in Bartonsville, Pennsylvania. We are in prayer and fasting for a miracle healing crusade that we will be having on September 17. Your name is on our prayer wall and we have been praying for you. Additionally, my family is associated with some excellent doctors whom I have no doubt would be instrumental in helping you with the medical care you need to be well. I am inviting you to come here and stay with us, to attend the healing crusade, and to go to the doctors we have here. If you decide that you would like to do that, I would be happy to pick you up at the airport .... Allentown - Bethlehem - Easton Airport. Aaron's room remains empty awaiting an answer to prayer for his release, and I believe you would find it comfortable. Please know that you are most welcome if you are agreeable to this invitation. You may call me if you wish at: -----------.
God bless you,

Dear Brother Paul Bonano,
Greetings in the Name of Jesus from Eldoret, Jane and I count this to be a blessed privilege to be able to communicate to you and to tell you how much we rejoice at the thought of our fellowship and you recent mail. We are especially encouraged and blessed by all the prayers and intercessions you are making on our behalf concerning our little ones, Mercy and Greg who are still with us at the hospital. I know you are bombarding the heavenlies on our behalf! As time pass by, I realize more of what King David the Psalmist felt when he said, “it is g-o-o-d for brethren to dwell together in unity.” That means to have the s-p-i-r-i-t of unity! Not speaking necessarily of the physical, but the unity of the spirit. It is so precious! We are able to communicate with the Christ of (in) each other. Did you know that we really felt the power of your prayer so intensely as though you were besides us! I believe that is why David said, ‘M-y L-o-r-d said unto y-o-u-r L-o-r-d, sit on my right until I make your enemies your footstool.’ when we dwell together in the unity of the spirit, and carrying the burden of one another in prayer, and really place myself in the position of my brother or sister, and identify with each other’s buffetings and infirmities, then we will be able to speak by the spirit of the Lord within each one of us. We will be able to communicate in spirit within ourselves and especially to fellow brethren who need a word whether it be of encouragement, hope or faith whatever it might be like in our case.
As I live and serve my Lord and continue yielding more to His Spirit and purposes, I realize how much we need each other especially you in our prayer circle. When my foot hurts, my hands want to reach down and hold and sooth it. When any part of our body hurts, the other members of our body move to comfort and help. So it is with His glorious body, His church. That is exactly what you are to Jane and me and our work here. I want a heart or reach a place whereby I can be touched by my brethren’s infirmities; and also in his/her rejoicing. I pray the body of Christ especially you and me will begin or continue to let the Lord release in us (them) the c-o-m-p-a-s-s-i-o-n (the highest form or level of mercy) and Love (agape) that saves the world; and not only the world, but compassion and care for one another in the household of faith (Please see I Timothy 5:8). We would be able to convince unregenerate man to salvation, if they could s-e-e the love of God working and living out (radiating from) in His people. A people who have a love! But it is a place of yielding my brother. Please I urge you to continue praying for our little ones that the Lord grants them complete healing and the finances to settle their bills. Please let’s also pray for one another as we will also pray for you and the entire body of Christ and those in fellowship with you! Pray also for our feast of the tabernacles in the months of October – November. Brother Paul, we want to specially invite you during this feast to partake with us both the natural and the spiritual bread! Pray that satan will not place any obstacle!
Till Jane and I hear again form you. Feel free to share with us your heart! We are a very much open couple to what the spirit of the Lord will speak through you! We lay our hands in all that you do, your household and the church!

To igniting your passion for mission
GET A VISION OF WHAT GOD WANTS YOU TO BE TOMORROW.
……..behold, I (Jesus) say to you ,lift up your eyes and look at the field ……John.4.35.
Never before has there been a better time or a greater urgency to tell Asians about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The needs are so great and many doors are opened since Dec.26,2004, fear and uncertainty have struck the heart of people who not only in Asia but around the world because of the Tsunami ,the killer waves, hit and the devastating earth quack.
The people who have ignored or neglected God are asking questions about God and sins. I do not know that how long this particular door will be opening , yet I believe that God will continue to open doors around the world until Jesus Christ comes to claim His kingdom. Billions need salvation in Christ.
As a Christians we have a greater responsibility to share the Gospel to them and to help them to find peace and security in Jesus Christ. This is what evangelism is at heart of everything we do at Missions Asia, To us even post tsunami relief work is a call of god to a compassionate witness with a Good Samaritan concern to wounded people and victims.
Jesus said to His disciples that lift up your eyes and look at the field…John.4.35.Missions begins in one when a vision is born in his heart. True ministry begins with a vision. A church or organization can not outgrow its vision. Yes vision is the great motivator. Bible says that where there is no vision, the people perish.Pro.29.18. Jesus has a vision that to build His church. Paul. the apostle, had a vision to preach the gospel to the gentiles. For a Christian leasers who chosen by God to move his people forward vision is must.
We need to wait on God to get a vision. The vision that Nehemiah received came during the time of prayers with fasting by knowing the ruin of his people and his nation. We are also living in the time of ruin of our own people and nation with out Christ. What a sad if do not get such vision about perishing people and nations. You can change the destiny of not only your nation but the nations around you by prayers.Ps.2.8.
It is the right time to catch a vision of what God wants you to be tomorrow. Because the time of salvation is now, the time of mission is now, the time of sending and going now, giving is now and the time of decision is now .Are you ready to wait on God to catch a vision to fulfill the mission of God that anyone should not perish but have everlasting life.John.3.16.God has a plan for you, He also willing to unfold that plan to you if you wait in god by and through prayers .
Expect great thing from God and attempt great things for God
Pray and support us
To create a world in which your vision becomes a reality.

Now in India it is 12.30 midnight. We've started our night vigil at 6 pm last evening. It will be concluded on 6 am in the morning only.
I'm sending this mail in between the night vigil. Around 350 believers are participating this night prayer. All the children of our orphanage attending and praying for you. They had their food yesterday noon only. Evening they did have nothing. There was little food at the orphanage, but it was not enough for everybody. So the children over 10 years said to the Superintendent of the Orphange to give the food for the children below 10 years of age. And they decided attend night vigil with fasting.
I knew it only when the little children were saying their tesemonies at about 11.30 during the night vigil. I was shocked. I could not control my tears. Not only myself, many participants are unable to control their tears. That's why in between the prayer service I'm mailing you this witness.
Pray for us. Pray for this children.

Statement of Faith
1. Inspiration of Scriptures
We believe in the verbal inspiration of the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments
by the Holy Spirit as originally given; they are the final authority for our faith and life.
2. God
We believe in one God revealed in three coequal, distinct persons:
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
3. Man
We believe man in his natural state is a sinner, lost, undone, without hope and without God.
4. Divinity and Humanity of Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God who by His incarnation and virgin birth
took upon Himself the form of man and became the God-Man. In the one person of Christ,
there are two natures, human and divine, each in its completeness and integrity.
They are distinguishable but indivisible, so that He is fully man and fully God.
He lived a sinless life and became the only sacrifice for the sins of the world.
5. Bodily resurrection
We believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ.
6. Salvation
We believe that terms of salvation are repentance towards God for sin and a personal
heart-felt faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, which results in regeneration.
This salvation is entirely by grace and not by works.
7. The Kingdom of God
W believe that the Kingdom of God will be established on the earth by God
through His Church prior to the return of Jesus..
8. Second Coming
We believe in the visible, bodily return of Christ to this earth to judge the world and to claim His bride.
9. Church
We believe the church is Christ's spiritual body on earth today. It consist of born-again believers
and has both universal and local expressions.
10. Heaven and Hell
We believe in the doctrines of eternal punishment for the lost and eternal bliss and service for the saved;
hell for the unsaved and heaven for the saved.
11. Satan
We believe Satan is a fallen, created being who is the "god of this world". He and his well-organized
company of demons are opposed to the Kingdom of God and work to defeat and destroy
the believer. While his activity is real, Satan and his demon spirits were defeated
and over thrown by Christ's victory at the cross, and Christians can and
should exercise authority over them.
12. Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit to be the third Person of the Godhead who is active in the world today.
The Spirit indwells and seals the believer at new birth. We believe the
Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a subsequent experience and is available
to all Christians to empower us to be witnesses.
We believe in, and encourage, the use of the
gifts of the Holy Spirit. We believe in the continuing
in-filling of the Holy Spirit.
13. Ordinances
We believe that believer's Water Baptism and the Lord's Supper are ordinances
of the church and should be practiced regularly.
I want request you that please pray and support to our ministries. If you have any question please feel free and keep in touch. May Lord bless you and ministries.
In His Service,
Pastor Javed

Thus is the work we have been called to do.We're bearing witness to the living word(John 20:31).Christ is the sum substance of all our preachings.We should cease not in the temple and from house to house to teach and preach Christ Jesus.When He is preached,Christ will send for His spirit to work in the hearts of sinners and give to them repentance and forgiveness of sins.As we look upon our exalted master and Lord and his glory and love being in us,then our labour in the Lord will not be in vain.
Dear Rev.Paul Bonanno,I will like to inform you that we shall hold a camp meeting as from 4th-9th July this year.The theme of the camp will be "Christ A fountain for His People".

How can we reach the lost? For so many years I walked apart from God, until I finally listened to the Good News. After much prayer, God led me to create www.FindingtheFaith.com.
The site's purpose is to bring seekers to Christ and to restore and inspire the faith in believers. This site will host real stories of inspiration from real people. It will also feature a wide array of Christian links to help them in their walk with Christ. I would be honored to get your permission to add your site.

This is my prayer for you........
Father, I pray and confess your word over your children. I pray that they are filled with a full, deep and clear knowledge of your will in their lives. I pray for a steady growing and increasing knowledge of you. I lift up those who need your touch for healing both physical and spiritual, I pray for your guidance in their lives and for them to have a closer walk with you. I pray for marriages, children, families, friends and co-workers and ask that you touch each one according to needs. Father, I ask that you touch each one and meet their needs according to your will. We are such a needy people Father and your word tells us that we can come to you and cast all our cares on you. I thank you Father for this privilege. I stand in the gap for all you have asked me to pray for them believing...that whatever I ask for in prayer, believing I have received it, it will be given. Mark 11:24. Father I do believe and I claim this promise for each one that I have lifted up to you. I thank you for hearing and answering. In Christ name I pray. Amen.
For I am the LORD your GOD, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, DO NOT FEAR, I WILL help you. Isaiah 41:13
He always answers in His time and by His Will. AMEN!
We spend the whole of last night in prayers.we had the chance to pray for all our friends,families,learning institutions,body of christ,nations in ------ and all the continents in the world.we also prayed for victims of natural calamities-===----- e.t.c.
we had such a mighty breakthrough as we prayed for you all.we believe this prayers are already at work in your life.just believe God with us for all we prayed concerning you and your ministry.we thank God coz there is no dust bin for our prayer in heaven.we can go to God as many times as we want in prayers.
The worship was intimate and to the point,I remember touching heaven as we lifted our voices in an attitude of worship.we took eight hours in the awesome presence of our lord and master.
we just discovered that worship touches the heart of God for we were created to worship and adore Him.it was at the feet of jesus that we spend our night,imagine the scars from the nail that pieced Him two thousand years ago.it really made me worship the more.what he did at the cross is enough to make us worship him for who he is.
lets learn to worship this good lord at all times.
God loves when his creation bow in worship of his holy name.john 4;22-24 says God is looking for worshippers-nothing short of worship will make Him arise from his mighty throne and come down and dwell in our midsts.
I love to dwell in his holy presence for it makes the difference.lets be focused in our worship.Put God before all other things-worship is the only wayout.worship Him and Him alone.
praise the lord God almighty.with love from us.

Der Rev. Bonnano,
I'm relieved hearing that you're getting better. My mobile phone number is -------------
The network here in ------ is not so good however you can try to call me on Saturday night to pray with you. Last Lord's day, I preached from IIPeter 3:18 " But grow in grace and in knowldege of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ". I am glad to hear that the spirit of God guided you to talk about television. TV is aflood of sin. It addicts its watchers agianst all the ten commandments.
TV glorifies sin, its a book and catalogue of sin and all studies reveal that its getting worse. It has become the devil's classroom for which comes from the bottom of hell. In deed tvs and videos and pulling many to hell especially teenagers.
Here in the place where am living called Kisii, many people are dying of Aids because of the pressure from the Aids epidemic this part. Aids is a curse from God due to sin. I have always preached about this sin and those that are hardening their hearts are dying of it. I have been forced to start an orphanage in order to help these children that have been left without anybody taking care of them. Its the responsibility of the church to help the poor. We must show love to these children and present God to them as thier helper. At the moment there are 23 children living in my home and i am building a house for them.
I kindly request you to request your dearest friends to help these poor children as they shall be moved by God's spirit. I have employed two church members to take care of them. I cannot accommodate more of these children at the moment because iam straining too much for them. should anybody be willing to help, he/she can send his donation to:
KIEFA------------
Using the above bank information, your donation will be received and help these poor children. I shall be very thankful for anybody's assistance.
May the lord grant you good health and bless you.
yours sincerely

Rev. Paul
I trust that the Lord has provided healing for you. Although my reply is
late my prayers have not been.
You can trust the Lord because He is Jehovah - Rapha, the Lord our Healer.
Believe His Word, trust Him. The enemy has no authority over the child of God.
God is a God of miracles! May you experience yours today, because there is
a
miracle in the making, one just for you, handcrafted by the hand of the
Master Craftsman, God Himself! Be Blessed
Dear Rev Paul,
I don't think you have ever realized the high esteem and regard we have for you, and your tender heart and ministry. You are very strange and unusual by today's standards,..and in this case, "strange" means a good thing,...a rare goodness and devotion virtually non-existant in today's world. We have never known anyone quite like you,. and it is perhaps by the suffering that you have endured that Jesus has let His love shine through you. We were so deeply touched by your last reply that we forwarded it to people we knew who needed to know that the kind of saints they had always heard about but never really believed in were still around and really existed.
Thank you for being "sold out to God" despite,...and in a way because of,...your circumstances.
In the natural, Meriwether Lewis of Lewis and Clark felt he was a failure when he completed his expedition,...which still proves to be THE most important exploration mission in U.S.history. When Jonah, after convincing the populace and the Lord to spare the great city, completed his mission, he felt like a failure, yet his intercession changed history. When the church leaders would bnot debate Martin Luther on the points he nailed to the Wittenburg door, he was sure he had failed,...not knowing some of his students had copied the points down and had them printed and distributed. The Enemy worked overtime to convince these champions of the country and the church that they were "slipping behind" on their calling. In examining their lives and missions today, we see how wrong THEY were with those self-deprecating opinions, and how God was shaking the foundations of the nation and the world through their actions.
DON'T EVER DISMISS WHAT GOD IS DOING THROUGH YOU AND YOUR MINISTRY.I shared our assessment of you in the attached e-mails to our friends,.... TAKE HEART, FEAR NOT, AND BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND YOUR MISSION AS WE BELIEVE IN YOU, ANd AS THE LORD BELIEVES IN YOU.
Go GET 'em, Tiger!
Scott and Eileen
DEAR FRIENDS,
THE ATTACHED IS MOST UNUSUAL.
iF YOU WANT TO READ SOMETHING DEEP AND SPIRITUAL, FROM A MAN WHO IS PROBABLY THE CLOSEST PERSON I'VE ENCOUNTERED TO ONE OF THE OLD-FASHIONED SAINTS,...DEEPLY SPIRITUAL, PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY SUFFERING,...FINANCIALLY POOR, BUT RICH IN HIS LOVE FOR GOD AND MAN DESPITE HIS CIRCUMSTANCES, READ THE FIRST LETTER ATTACHED. REV. PAUL WOULD SEEM A BIT STRANGE BY CURRENT REASONING, BUT HIS HEART IS SO PURE, AND HIS GENUINE LOVE FOR GOD AND MAN SHOWS THROUGH IN THIS E-MAIL. HE IS A VERY TENDER SPIRIT, SO PLEASE PRAY FOR HIM. BUT HIS PRAYERS, AND THE PRAYER SCRIPTURES HE SENT US HELPED PULL EILEEN THROUGH HER BATTLE WITH CANCER, AND HE HAS NO PRETENSES AND NO ULTERIOR MOTIVES. DESPITE HIS CIRCUMSTANCES, THIS MAN WOULDN'T EVEN TAKE OUR MONEY, RETURNING IT TO US FOR USE FOR "A MORE NEEDY MINISTRY." THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO US BEFORE. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE INSPIRING IN A WAY MOST OTHER THINGS NEVER TOUCH YOU,....

Sorry I had to take out the names and towns and countries of these letters because more people are getting hurt in many different countries, with different laws and people can be even beaten for preaching the word, there are more people being martyred more than any other century for the cause and Love for Christ.
This church we have is still dedicated to missions we can send words and let the people there do the talking, the friends and neighbors of the area that know the language and the culture, this is a new aspect that I have been working on the "piggy back" method of sending out prayer letters with scripture and a teaching as a whole and not having pieces being put together my North American missionaries. We are going about the great commission a different way the only way being I am disabled and Senior Pastor of The Church Ministries, Inc. which is now almost three years old, our whole idea is to use the people that are already there after a sermon is preached and translated then pastors in that area run off some copies that are written here and handed off to people on there way home which may be for miles and that no missionary will ever get to. And the way things have been going even though I am very sick the devil does not want any sermons or prayer letters to hit the World Wide Web. There is churches that partner with other churches and they go on their short term stay in a Christian based area which they might venture farther into the deeper part of the area but quickly return, remember Jesus in (Matt. 10:34 34)"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.] We need to follow the great commission that Jesus has gave us marching orders for. [Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."] Matt. 28:18-20 and in Mark [He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."] (Mark 16:15-18) What people are doing is sending in combination sharing churches and going to particular places and trying to explain about Christ in such a short term, us The Church's way is using the people that are already there and this way they already know each other and have the understanding, culture and they are just handed some information to share together about the Love of Christ. The thing is these other churches that are spending what very little money that is put away for missions and spending more money on their travel to get there and to return then anything else, what I am trying to do is to preach Christ and have the pastors and ministers already in place and I send them what to share with there neighbors. In the early 70’s it started out with about 22,000 at the end of the 70’s to more than a million missionaries today but the effect is not really doing the job, we still have 3,000 languages that have not one sentence of scripture, and we still have 1.8 Billion people how have not heard of the Good News and there is still very little chance that they will here it anyway. The thing is everyone is going about it the wrong way, these short term missionaries are basically part-time in the missions logic and understanding we have to send in these people and get them in on the action of the people that live deep in the areas that are untouched, these people must live among them and to get to know each other before they can even start to witness, winning there confidence is the hard part, how do we do that when we can use the people that are already there. We have to agree that short term mission’s projects can not pull off the great Commission. We have missionaries that have been trying there hardest for the last two to three decades, but you see you have to live there, it was like me before I understood the American Indians I had to live with them camp out with them eat with them, and generally hang out with them, to really know them. This all takes time. These giant churches did have the money but you see like one of my Bishops directors would say they all go to a meeting place lets say in India and they would all hang out in that area and some would cross the lines into the jungle but would always go so far and return to there American Christian base located in India, so nothing of the great commission would be done. We should also have people from each area to learn each language and do a rough draft of the translation of the bible even if it is a chapter or the book of John, at least they would have something someone could read to them, but that to is a vision and that would take time. But we could set up a base and do that one thing. You see the more time they spend over there as missionaries the funding would be enormous. Back to my ideas my Bishops are all in different areas of the middle east and we can communicate on what is going on, and we can send each other bibles, but it is a lot easier and safer to share prayer letters and sermons via the Internet and then the people themselves would go into the deeper parts of the 10/40 window for instance and teach what they just got taught at their church. You have to figure some walk many miles to go to a service that is sitting on a log or a rock and what they do is walk home those miles and they carry some paper with then, when they get to their own village or town they are already acquainted with everyone ,they know everyone and they share the Good News with them, and then some that may be visiting the village for the weekend and they leave to go back to there home which may be miles away, they take the paper and share it with their people and they might have to adjust the language a bit but if they live in the town or village, they too know how to speak and what to say and they also know the difference between one language and another because it is just like slang going from Alabama to New York, it would be easy for them to communicate, that is what we have been doing for the last 2 or so years, I have no idea how far anything has gone I get letters that people do share the sermons and I do tell them about the "piggy back" method but getting a letter back from the deep parts of the jungle I have not got. So I do not know what is happening right now. All I know is countless ministers and churches in all the different countries I think we are up to about 30 or more for sure but that is where it ends they can copy anything from The Church Ministries, or I write a prayer letter and they take that which has scripture and a teaching and they carry those letters from here to there and people share what they have and learned. If we were going to do it the expensive way you would have to send in someone to teach and share the gospel still that group or few bunches of people need supplies and this and that, which could run into a lot of money if a church or a group of large churches were funding the whole thing but this way it should work, but doesn't. With us, I don’t know what happens at the end of the line, I know they have a computer in a big town and they run off a few copies and they go and preach and when they are done they hand out the work which is probably already translated to a basic language of their area, and from there we use the people that live there to spread the word and follow the great commission and not spend any money, now if we could supply a few computers to some of these churches and ministers and pastors out there it would help even more that is why I barley can keep this church afloat because no one knows what I have been doing. I am very sick and under intense spiritual warfare, that explains most everything.
So what do we do next? Are these 1.8 billion people hearing some of the word, are we getting through to these people? Are they hearing the gospel? We need the people of the reached to blend in with the unreached. The numbers are so large are any of these letters and sermons getting to these people? We have to agree that the short termed North Americans are just ministering to the reached where there base station or there church is already planted. This has been told to me by one of my major Bishop Directors. For regular missionaries they have their base or church but to get through to one third of the worlds people there is no church on the other side. So their whole way is not working. That is why we The Church Ministries are using the people there as the church on the other side. This way the communication is moving, but I am so poor and they are so poor how do I find out if any of the letters are moving? [He told them, "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.] (Luke 24:46-47) [He said to them: ["It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."] (Acts 1:7-8) The thing is do we want to see one third of the world going to hell because we don’t have the finances and all the money other church's make here most of the money goes back into the same church, only a very small amount of the pie gets to missions and there is one witness for every 10,000 people is not going to cut it, we need a new plan the way things have been working so far, but we are fighting evil to the limit and the devil does not want me or Bishop Joaquim writing anymore prayer letters, and Satan is using every gun and weapon in his arsenal, to make me sicker and sicker then I am. I am fighting wars that know one would believe. The sermons are taking me a full day to write now, because of the pain and the warfare. This is just getting ridiculous, 20-26 hours typing with two fingers. The people are out there as long as they keep writing because I don’t know what they are copying anymore; the Church Site is over 160 pages with links all over the world. We have to help these people, some people think these people will not go to hell if they have never known Jesus Christ and some churches believe that they will, we have to love these people and we have to care for each one of them, this is one third of the world and are we going to sit back and work our regular jobs and not go into these countries and preach the gospel that should all be our jobs, we should be giving God the glory and following the great commission, I can’t do it by myself, I need help, Jesus gave us the orders why are we not following them? I’m sick with a disease that is unknown, and a list of other things, I am disabled and on Medicare and just to keep this Church on line is a grace given to me by God. These people are lost and perishing and we have to help them, most churches today I see have changed, I will not even get into the things that have happened to me in churches, and I have been all over the U.S.A. so I understand why there is about 1% going to missions, people have changed, they don’t want to take the risk, they don’t want to leave there home and family to be in danger to save souls, I have been invited to go all over the world to preach and help all these churches and ministries, I will continue to write my prayer letters and continue to pray for all the people I know, and I will still write sermons and God will help me with the rest. I will continue to break new ground with our own theory given to me by the Holy Spirit and continue to be an evangelistic church planter.
