PRAISE REPORT ASIA MINOR TURKEY

Brothers and sisters in The Lord    Bergama journey no  17 Dtd, 6,7 Dec
I have to report this way till I get my  email straight .
Yesterday and today I sought out the people who maybe has fallen through the cracks. I have talked to them  read scripture and prayed in spite of rain and sprinkles of snow.
We went to the gypsy camp and it was pouring rain and I prayed: now Lord how can I give the blankets and stockings in this rain? Let it stop Lord till I get my job done.
Folks when I got to the camp the rain stopped. Believe or not. It happened to me once before. We gave away baby blankets, wool caps and Christmas stockings and 3 more Christmas boxes . The man who helped me had never heard of Jesus and prayed the sinners prayer.
When I finished my work it literally started pouring down rain all the way home.
I got my work done in a non rain environment. ... And the cold I was getting dissipated . Praise God.!
There is no doubt when Jesus said "I AM going to unseat satan" He is taking care of us while He uses us to carry HIS light. We need helpers.come and join us.
It's interesting to note we provide the Spirit of Christmas to a people who did not know there was a Christmas. My wife said tonight on face time that what we are doing is planting seeds in the heart of the youth it is the seed that will bring them to The Lord down the road.!!! What a true statement!!!.
Thanks be to God. We continue our work in the name of Jesus
Blessings 
Eddie and the Bulgarian team who had to return home due to a severe crisis

AGAIN LET ME SAY WE APPRECIATE ALL THAT EVERYONE HAS DONE. WE WANT YOU TO FOLLOW THE LORD'S LEADING. WE DONT MEAN TO BE PUSHY BUT WE NEED HELP.SO MANY HAVE HELPED AND WE THANK YOU FROM BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS. 

 

 

Bro and Sis greetings in Jesus name. We need only $700 of the

 $ 8000 to celebrate   Christmas   in the vicinity of Pergamos(Bergama) and Smyrna vicinity  Izmir, Turkey and Thyatira. Until we went to this area the people did not know the meaning of Christmas. We estimate we are the first to  have carried the Light of Jesus openly in at least 1000 years. Oh we have tourist but they don't hang around very long and they are reluctant to even mention Jesus as the God of the Universe. We are there  and we are not leaving till the Lord calls for us. hallelujah amin ve amin

 

Yesterday I got a call from one of the believers asking when I am coming back.  I wanted to cry. They are so hungry for the Gospel and Christian relationship

 

We have received  75-100 lbs of baby blankets and baby caps from Stewart Rd  Monroe Mi COG. Praise God. Thank you Bro and Sis Chapman and of course approval of Pastor Byrd. This group is so selfless AS YOU ARE. They have their own Medical mission program and still do what they do for us. Pray for them as you pray for us and as we pray for yall. We are all in this together. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done 

 
 Additionally free of charge Stewart Rd Monroe Mi COG provide Christmas stockings, baby blankets  and reading glasses to help out our Christmas program.
 
We are still short of the small amount $ needed to give at least 100 families a Christmas basket and bread .  We don't want to be pushy just informative and let the Lord guide you. We will be accountable for every cent you send us.

 



Once a year we celebrate Christmas in various ways. We try to go to every place we had gone thru the year and do something special. In order to do this we have to generate extra money to buy Christmas baskets. This is separate from paying our workers a form of a small salary and expenses for maintaining the van; gas etc.
 
 We have about  $7300 of the $8000 we need . We are not sinking!!! But we are making progress. Just a little more help and we are ready to make our order in Sep 2013. Praise God.  We have had an increase of $125 since my last report. This is an increase; we  praise God for our faithful  friends, brother and sisters. We know with the Lord and your help we will reach our goal....just $700  more......Just $700 more.

 

Thank you and many blessings from the Gypsies and Turks who will receive these Christmas gifts.
 
we really thank you and bless you in the name of the Infinite Servant Jesus

Greetings bro and sisters this is a special edition to glorify the King of Glory

Last night at midnight  I got this message from a lady I believe did not know my medical condition.she lives in the east and I in the west USA

"I couldn't sleep the other night & was thinking of you & started praying for you that God would really bless you..God be with you...."


I responded thusly( I do not advertise my illnesses)


"Interesting. After my poisoning episode in Turkey ,resultant pneumonia and 2 hospitalizations I was always tired always but continue to go. Even at the prayer conference I was tired. Your prayers were not coincidental. This week I told my wife my strength was coming back. Like i had an injection. It's midnight here and I feel good. No doubt your prayers are working for me. No medicine could have made me feel better. Thank you!!!!. The Great Commission is in effect in our lives. You are getting my email?   Continue to pray for me. There is no greater service and I pray for you. Miracles, miracles, miracles. Thank you. I am comforted!!! And feel good. . Thank and thank you. Eddie"



Mark 16. Essence of our ministry.


12 After that, He appeared in another form to two of them as they walked and went into the country. 13 And they went and told it to the rest, but they did not believe them either.
( the disciples were tired and depressed)
The Great Commission (the disciples eyes were opened a form of healing. There is healing in the communion I do believe) disciples blind and then they saw)see below.
14 Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. 15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out 
demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.


During the last 12 years most of these signs have followed us.


1. No evidence of casting out devils but evidence of one man comatose accepting Jesus. I heard the confession in Turkish as well as his son. One day the father came out of his coma; the son asked if he knew Jesus. Answer wasYES.
2.there are many believers . At least 100 are strong believers. There are at least 1,000,000 we sharing the gospel with and we are the only ones in our area including a Macedonia community.


3. We speak in tongues and prophesy and are teaching new believers about this gift.
4. Someone poisoned me but The Lord delivered me  as explained above. Bro Dinko had to evacuate me. Such a blessed brother. COG should feel fortunate that he is with us in Turkey.
5. No snakes yet but The Lord said we won't be bothered and I believe His Word.
6. Many sick are healed. Too numerous to cite. It's an integral part of our ministry.
7. Many saved and we are baptizing them.


Yes the signs follow us wherever we go. We do not inhibit their manifestations.
I am a personal testimony of the Great Commission. Praise God I finally surrendered.


May The Lord bless the sister s obedience for praying for me because I was totally exhausted . I don't have her permission to divulge her name but God knows.


Blessings to all and I am so glad to be back in the COG


Thank you for supporting and helping us with Christmas.
