On one that will buy a so you will will will will will okay okay I is you are with us in the message and whether they be remembered and incubated thank you pastor as you send what a coincidence. The median Zimbabwe, but actually my wife in the very same area at the corrector pastor actually my address was host of Pennsylvania near lovely ice cream is smaller than lovely. Okay, because I grew up on a farm and got placed on and my wife is from man's choice but when I thank the Lord, you know, sometimes I may I go to churches and their pictures and missionaries there. And tonight I hear people say, well, you know over this is our missionary, but we never see him, but that's what I like to visit the churches so that people can put a face to a missionary and let them know that I view you know you're hearing you this camera gunnery Cambria Somerset. This is Somerset. Okay no ordering a bordering of every County of local homegrown missionary, but you know this January. My wife and I began forty six years as much as missionaries, forty six years ago. We want the coaster Rico start the Spanish language and stayed on there for eleven years and then went to Guatemala than showing that smart kids were born, raised my friends are my first children were a set of twins and dying with them. They're buried in Costa Rica, but I might not to boys and I have this. The youngest one is in the ministry doing a lot what I do with the missionary colonies heart and I want to say that I is a blessing for me to meet Jed David Pastor David son because delivery moment I met him in Zimbabwe. He was sharing about what a son, Devin, it does, doesn't Salvador and so I've heard a lot of different occasions insisted to meet him this morning before I I wanted basically what I want to do this morning. You know this if pictures worth a thousand words, and I have as others of video that I want to share with you of some of the things that I do, but you know over the years. She is a forty six years as a missionary probably anything you can think of what a missionary does .net beginning digging up all holes for septic tanks and dig ditches for foundations and ministering to children and young people in camps, send Bible school work and planning churches and then medical teams. I do not like I'm really done a whole lot of things but over the years my ministry I find being reduced more basically to teaching, teaching pastors through seminars and conferences, and also doing a lot of teaching and Bible schools because you know once you note, and with urine at ten forty window and there's a great need for a van syllogism, but in a lot of countries. You can even get into and but outside of the ten forty window. The main area of ministries, teaching, teaching, and national leaders and pastors, and that's what I do because, among location is just tremendous. Because if you're able to minister to pastor and that pastors teaching pastoring a hundred people two hundred people five hundred people. The multiplication is just tremendous, and I want to share a few testimonies. Perhaps you might not have heard with you before I show the video, but you know, we just had this terrible typhoon last year in the Philippines. Well, I just happen to be going to the Philippines when that right before that happened matter-of-factly of time before I left the airport and Dulles. My plane was a late December, hours, because was a typhoon going across Japan and we can fly in. After that, you know, they got word clearance to go. We left, but because of being two hours late and were so many other planes around the world word was going to Tokyo that the error was literally start with airplanes, and I remember making six at least six circles around the airport because it was a certain river coming out a piece of land. Their remit the ocean and is up and I remember going around that six times and when I finally landed the plane for the Philippines was already gone. So I do spend the night in Tokyo and then next they went on the Philippines and start of the three-day seminar for pastors over Philippines, but then there was another if typhoon going across the northern part of Philippines. We got a lot of rain and wind, but not named any damaging and then after two weeks ministering in the Philippines that went on to Brunei, which is a country is a hundred percent Muslim and the churches, runs aground in the country and spend a week there in Brunei and think them home. Shortly after that was a terrible earthquake. Earthquake. The typhoon. I say bravo greatest in history and shortly after that I got an e-mail from a missionary that I was with air Bible school. When the war and the part of the work in and he shared his testimony. I does want to share with you because sometimes we don't hear things like this. But anyway, he said of their sixty churches. They have there in the Philippines. Seven of those churches were located one that island where you probably seen the pictures in the paper where they actually move the ship up on the island and he said of the seven churches. We have another island, not one believer was injured and the churches themselves that whatever the few minor repairs or damages at the place of the church buildings, but nothing of Adam and any major in no problem there at which a hero is the reason tremendous testimony that God 's power watching over his people there were literally thousand thousand people were killed and then he shared a testimony to Bible school student who lives on that island, and I taught him when I was in Manila in the Bible school and they had after that time they had a little vacation then he went back to his home and this is due to testify this, he says we were praying because the sing was coming, and we were praying that it would not blow it shipped up on our house can you imagine the fats and this is what he said is in our house has two floors, and he said the wind was so strong that are actually blew a truck right through the first floor the house and we were up on the second floor, but we were spared nothing happened, and he said to the director the Bible school. I'll be back to Manila couple day in a couple days to continue on in the school, but I know what a tremendous testimony how God watches over his people. So I bless the Lord for that. And another thing I like to share it, and perhaps we don't hear much about this. My son has been in contact with the actually a lady who worked with OME OME is operation mobilization of mobile 's SNL and him famous Spanish but anyway they located all over the world 's a have been use ships within one to the ports and send workers out to evangelize and others in areas of ministry as out he's been speaking to this lady. There actually Susan in the Jews in the in Germany that one another in their headquarters. They are in a lot of passes are coming, and recently just last week he she shared this with my son. She said there so many Muslims coming to the Lord. This is incredible so many Muslims coming to the Lord season. Recently we had this pastor from Morocco that so many people coming to the Lord that we have with no one to teach them and my heart you know when I heard this is so cut open doors for me because my heart. Once the go wherever there's a need like this and and is she was relating of the Confederate Muslim nations around that so many Muslims are coming to the Lord and the pastors are in tremendous, and the cause is not enough workers. So I'm asking for volunteers. This morning, how many would you want to go to the Muslim nations because is amazing. You know when 9/11 happened when 9/11 happened and all that took place immediately into my own spirit. I said God is changing directions. God is she putting use is always plan a different gear and because if you remember back in 9/11. Mostly most. No one knew who Muslims were, we never, you know, we never even thought about Muslims. But when 9/11 happened. Immediately, the world 's attention was on the Muslim people, and I said, God is now going to start zeroing in on the Muslim world and were going to see many coming of the Lord and I've had over the years tremendous testimonies of what's happening happening in Egypt and other nations of the world and Muslim countries, Indonesia. I was in Indonesia, very not very long ago tremendous move the Lord in Indonesia. Many people coming to the Lord, so I would. As you know, if you're not willing to go you not ready to go to the Muslim nations of the prey for the Muslim nations because it's harvest time. I truly believe it's harvest time I met some missionary, now forty six years my case, my testimonies. This is harvest time around the world. God is bringing so many souls into the kingdom of God world. Why it is now a special zeroing in on weight of the Lord on the Muslim people, so be prayed for the Muslim people that God is at work and I want to share one little testimony that probably you will need and think, is serving great, but to me, is very special because we normally were accustomed to hear about many, many thousands of souls coming to the Lord, but a be my ministries basically get filled up with teaching pastors and Bible schools, but they always want you to teach our SKUs may always wanted to preach whenever you have a little at a time that you're not doing anything on the preach in the churches and which I do and in and I can say this, that in every country I go to people get saved in every church service. It's amazing because it's a power the Lord over the nations of the world and people are hungry for the Lord and in every start service people get saved sometimes quite a few people did say but I just want to share something it happened last year. Last November I was in Guatemala, a priest and a little tiny church and where it all all all Indians because half the population of Guatemala 's Indian and a priest and this little church in recent human altar call and there was this teenage girl come up carrying a baby. I don't think she's married, but then he wasted them up carrying his baby to give her heart to the Lord and then there was this man walked up to the altar, and he was leading a little boy later found out he was three years old and the man said that my son was sick, give his heart to Jesus and a high hit on looking down at this little boy and I'm saying to myself visiting understand what he's talking about, you know, I'm saying inside. I didn't want to say to him publicly that you know you see the this little guy there, so I say let's pray and he was so series little boy was so seriously motivates hands and closed his eyes and I let him, and assume his prayer, he would just so serious in what he was going in. I'm just saying all gone. You know this heart that you know how to reach in and then after that I did after the service and the new. We went upstairs to give us a meal and this little boy was upstairs in his mother and dad was there in this mother said to me you notice as I went to my little boy to the bathroom and when I was in the bathroom night. My son said mommy, I want to know Jesus and so she brought them out in getting to the data in the data brought them up. But what I want to say while we were eating a meal. This little boy which is running everywhere and singing end and I don't know what he was in another world, something to happen. Not a lot happened. But to me that's a tremendous testimony how God you know would take it would touch a little boy like this and bring them into the kingdom of God. And so often I say, you know, like this. That's when the whole soul. Printable order to know God doesn't despise anyone on the iMac people will well up in years gets a but, you know, their life is almost over, but when you get a little child like that. It has a whole life ahead a.m. the serve the Lord. So what if in this blessing I will also want to share one thing with you. I didn't know that your pastor was going to pick up another offering after this, but I would just want to say this if you want to do something for my son on the back there is a picture of my wife and my youngest son, who's also in the ministry with a unique travel, sometimes me and sometimes he goes on his own but my son is going to it in Tanzania and all beyond very honest with you with finances been very tough. He was intense in a couple years ago and when he went to Tanzania. Once he went for was literally with chain saws and axes. The cut roads back into the remote area of Tanzania, so they get four wheeled vehicles back in this area to reach unreached tribes and after two weeks of doing that. Then they walk. Literally for hours every day, first for a week or so back into an area where they can contact the tribe would never seen a white person, you know, I don't day in which were living, that seems impossible, but they found the drive back there that never knew a white person and were able to preach the gospel in some some and came to the Lord. Well, my son is heading back. This in June and heat while he was there before he met this applicant brother who use of a pastor and also evangelists, and he's been trying to help his brother a body my help. Maybe provide the motorcycle for him, because it's really very remote rescoring and my son is not going going to be teaching the Bible school for two weeks. There, and he's always so. It also taken equipment for this pastor so that they can show Bill into the area 's words were quite remote in other places as well, and my son is really struggling because of finances are not coming through because he has a projector. He has a screen. He's a generator and plus it's against to get to Africa, so I just want to throw this out to you, you know, if you want to help in an offering that pastor said he was undertaken for me. After the service you know of welcome, but if you want to mention to do something specifically for my son, you know, make a note of that. Or even if you would reduce up what to do something later pastor to get in contact with me to be able to help him of my son has a tremendous dedication to the Lord matter fact he was supposed to go to Cuba in May and he just now cancel that out, because finances been really tough that could get the finances to get to Cuba and now he has equipment bought the Google Africa really struggling so I just laid out before you I want to you know they say a picture is worth a thousand words, and I just want to show you a video that will help describe what I do and help better understand that you can pray better for me as I travel around the world. You know Pastor McGee of a is only the Lord that I'm here this morning because I was in Honduras two years ago and I was held up by three gunmen was shotguns robbed of everything I had never they had except the close of my back and very fortunate because the very robbers were policeman and then you know Pastor David, the son would know more about it than most of us here, but I was pretty dumb. I told the pastor. I said let's go to the police station to help because they stole that the vehicle and I was driving a riding in. They were taken me home to were absent to spend the night after teaching Bible school that night within so I said the pastor can we go to the police station and tell the people. The policeman that may be reviewed on this automobile and recovering well and what happened. We walked right into the very police station, where the three men who robbed this with a policeman and in and brother David would notice him from Central America. They leave no witnesses behind. I recognized one of them to a wearing ski masks. One was not wearing a ski mask. He stood under a street light from hits the wall right there from me either. I knew I recognized him immediately when I walked into the police station, and he knew it as well because I stared him down. Then he turned his head from me, but I didn't say anything. I believe also do the Holy Ghost refrain me from speakers speaking to him and calling him out because if I would've called them out. They leave no witnesses in these countries they were to shock the pastor 's wife, myself and the owner the vehicle that were in the police station, but got spared my life. So that's why I'm with you this morning, and I think because I think the Lord, because it seems that well since that happened last year I've been in so many countries, even since that time that I believe that the Lord has a little more of people that I should minister to more souls to get saved and more passes be blessed and encouraged so you know, I just mention this. I mention one more thing. And when you sometimes if people didn't you realize how to pray for missionaries of our world is becoming extremely dangerous. I also last year in particular cases. When I was in the Philippines and I was in Honduras last year I was really sick coming very. I'm talking about really sick, and this is something is quite common quite frequently as you travel around the world. All kinds of bugs and diseases and everything are a two one two, and so I slat appreciate the prayers of God 's people that God would just cover up with people and covers with prayer that he would continue to give us strength to do the work of the Lord, so I'm asked my brother if he can put this all on them. On this slide there that screen and what you go to see here is the last year and a half of ministry. My son bought me a video camera for my birthday back in June of two thousand twelve, and since that time, I've been doing a little video I swear I've been through this last first two thousand twelve and last year, two thousand thirteen I haven't done anything in two thousand thirteen, but I been in Cuba this year, but this is a last year and a half of ministry. So if you want to go ahead. This'll give you a little idea actually begins. Go ahead with it begins where I first met your pastor and Harare, Zimbabwe in the Bible school. There, so we really go work on it should be ready to go. You have the very beginning, probably on while waiting, I is mentioned is that the not mention about praying for missionaries of in forty six years I've been to. I been sick so many different times of almost died with hepatitis of other things. But this past year when, in September, when I was in the Philippines. I got so ill newbies radio that the and when you when you go out there and agree to go should be the first picture is not a silent, that's the that's several regret the Bible school pastor David is dispersed your class of the three hundred students and this is a third-year class turned up a little bit doesn't want you to hear that you see Shauna. This is a language of Zimbabwe and this is a view of the sights and sounds of their countries around the world help you hope what to pray for the nations of the world. One thing you'll see about the Africans. This is a third-year class and most of now, there graduated most of those of your all right administrate inside Zimbabwe or other countries, but I love to be with the Africans when their worshiping because the Africans worship with their whole bodies using them using their legs and actually they're not just using the legs to use them. There is singing with their legs are singing their nursing and doing it with their their dances are doing and you can see them as they are there. As I said, Mrs. eight o'clock in the morning where we just begin the third-year class. Your pastor taught there. Some years back. Reference met him in this Bible school. Living Waters Bible college. I been there. I don't know how many different times ministering and this is actually another Bible school of their NARAL rate seventy five students. The first one has three hundred students were back there now with the chapel service were ministering in a chapel service and also praying for them after we minister there, but as you see these applicants there in Zimbabwe. Pray for Africa, the Lord 's been so good. I have been now in eleven countries in Africa. What a blessing to be one in Zimbabwe, many, many years. There are occasions and what a blessing to have a little part of the lives of the service of the Lord as they dedicate their lives to serve him. It was amazing when you travel in the countries how many people are going to Bible school because of such a desire to serve the Lord and many students in a different Bible school praying for the them is with ministering to them God would use them bless them. Now they're going to another part of the world. This is China a been to China now three times. This was of this particular trip was of tremendous trip. God used in China China men from there to bring a hundred and seventy five pastors literally from all over China. We met in two different spots in close hidden the way that no one could you know, find you and I would ask that you look at these pictures we put a little more sound. Please look at these pictures how meticulously there are writing down everything they can, and listening all they can because they had a have Bibles in China, but very, very little study material, and so everything they can get. They just write it down, grasp, but so they can take it back to the people I actually thought the second book, the Corinthians. Well I was there and they translated my notes in the Chinese. This is the first place was in a hotel where we were enclosed three days and three nights. I know I'm going in knowing going out and then when was over. Everyone went their separate ways. This is in a Bible school in Beijing give you down the main one of the streets of Beijing glaucus side street dirt road with a fix bicycles and cars grown up with grass and junk and back in the back is a Bible school all made out of tin roof, roof and size everything with a brought that these group of pastors and leaders from all over China on N Mongolia for their and when we went in. We had. We were told, please get down on the floor so that no one will see your faces because their words were in place. He is taking in and in and out white people will be Boston so we were hidden away back in this little Bible school there in Beijing. What a blessing to see these the hunger they have know that you notice you see a lot of women because in Asia. Men are so reluctant to come to the Lord that and you take Indonesia you think Korea unit you take your China, Philippines, many, many women. God puts his hand upon it on them and uses them to minister the God what people what a blessing. Some of these people right there received the Holy Ghost, as I was we minister to them, and I wanted to him and okay I know ring up a person here up one amount as their worshiping the Lord here you go to see a man coming up on the screen a moment on the left of organizing comes up. This man spent six years in prison for preaching the gospel actually hunted as an animal in the in the field because as a Christian man. There he was a one. The Lord used to bring these a hundred and seventy five pastors into different groups from all over China, Mongolia, all water price they pay in all these pastors and leaders, their churches are all underground and you never know what's going to happen to them. They can be reprimanded even kill, so be praying for the Chinese pastors. What a blessing such a hunger for the Lord. Here they are praying. This blesses me so much because believe me, the Chinese pastors know how to pray because our life is on the line all the time to pray for China, literally millions of souls are coming to the Lord in China. Great time for China so many coming to the Lord Jesus, what a blessing to go there. Hallelujah, thank you Lord Jesus answered Aaron, one of our interpreters did a beautiful job of interpreting Forrester now are coming closer to home. This is Guatemala first places three hours out of Guatemala City the capital place goes a cup of good old days, a seminar for pastors sixty pastors and stick up got been a wonderful thing there because Osuna, St. Louis city because I we going to the city and is open to everyone. All denominations and there was a using passage crying there, because was a lot of strife amongst the churches and God brought on healing words of the pastors and leaders and be able to would be a great ministry to that particular city. This brother here is one of our first Bible school students. When I went to Guatemala, nineteen eighty three and now he has about six five oh schools in Central America, Cuba, and this is his church in Guatemala City were worshiping the Lord and ministering in the moment will be praying for the people. As I said, and every service people didn't say and go see in a moment and were praying for the people know not everyone is going to see have gotten saved in this particular were going to see their but pray for them. Plus, people are getting saved where praying for them after the service. What a blessed time that his brother. God uses him now and embrace them in this way. This begins last year in Sierra Leone, Africa went to the four major cities in Sierra Leone for pastor seminars. There there again. Pastors hunger for the Word of God attempted to take all the notes that they can because they're taking it back to the people to be able to share with them and encourage their people and him be less than the ministry if I was really touched by Sierra Leone and ever heard of them movie blood diamond blood diamond was filmed in Sierra Leone. A nation is very rich in diamonds and gold, but is so poor because they exploit the people so bad. This is another one of the pictures of the cities there. We did a seminar in Sierra Leone him, Dominican Republic Minister Lisbeth earned trip above and three churches in the Bible school and in May am going back to the Dominican Republic to be my. I guess about the fourth time now going there. Pastors daughter their UC and they service a tremendous thing took place because Opera priests and a Sunday morning on our ladybug twenty five years old, came forward just broken and weeping before God, and when she did that twenty five young people followed her to the altar. What a tremendous blessing that was, and then we preach that night Opry set night in a church of five hundred people are so many people came to the Lord that you must either the local pastor and another pastor helping prey for so many people are coming to the Lord and in the Bible schools under the mingle been going back this year again in May the minister in the Bible school, plus other churches as well. People are so open to the Lord their God is blessing then, New Mexico, you know, if I was that young man. Today, I would go to Mexico was a missionary in his harvest time. This is a Sunday morning service to services in this particular church. All you see there are people, ninety people came to the Lorna. One Sunday morning service. The second service thirty people came to the Lord in that that particular church. People are so hungry for God in Mexico. This is Mexico City, where a pastor who has different churches throughout Mexico brought his leaders and workers together for three days ministering to their leaders and their pastors I think it was that if the leaders there for their Mexico City. Her brother, David would be able to read, say, that's what it's saying bless your name on able, there's no one like you as a pastor 's wife. There is once again you'll see the hunger and God 's people. The desire to worship him with all the parts and this is at the first earth were submitted but these are just the workers in that one church where I message all the workers in one Church one of blessing to have a church just as so many workers now this is Philip Reeves in Brunei spent two weeks in the Philippines a week in Brunei did pass a seminar in Manila are right outside of Manila over three hundred pastors from Manila scattered over the country, plus some came in from Singapore. What a blessing there again. You know, I can we pray for so many people in this seminar. They were so hungry that they would not, we pray for hours and hours actually worked had made for lines of people for pastors praying with myself and they were so hungry visas want more of God. More of God. As I said, we pray, pursue many and he is so hungry for the Lord is seeking the Lord crying out for more of God. What a blessing to be able to minister to people with so much hunger for the things of the Lord. What a privilege. What a blessing to have a little parts into the lives of the service of the Lord actually some idea to go on the Philippines are quite a few years and some of those in our past three and I minister to them when they were in Bible school. What a blessing to see them now have their own churches and own ministries and going on to be frugal from for the Lord Jesus. This is the Bible school or a mention about the one brother was on the island where the truck was blown through the roof. This is the Bible school. There stories from all over the country, such hunger for the things of the Lord, what a blessing. Then we went, says six hours north of the of the Manella was called Baguio hundred and eighty pastors there came for several days of ministering icily ministering eight hours a day for these pastors, and I was so sick, you see these pastors. This row pinning crying out to God. I was so sick that I could maybe stand the minister had to sit down, but when you see something like that, you knows not to sell this God at work because God is working in their lives and breaking them before him. As I said, what a privilege and honor to be able to touch the lives of so many people and are going back to the Roman churches and ministering carrying it on brew nine hundred percent Muslim. The church is underground and this is that this brothers really blessed because he has worked it out to the government that he brings in people from China, Malaysia and the Philippines. Other nations there and I spent a week teaching their leave these leaders. Some these different countries sharing with them teaching their lives. And as for the ministry and then on a Sunday morning service where people are coming together at that afternoon I went to another church where was underground. You cannot hope ministry opened a minister openly and Mrs. Salvador right finished up the last year, brother David would know much about that because he spent how many years of Salvador greeted. I thought in the Bible school and in Salvador, plus two days passive seminar for hundred eighty pastors, plus a church service this particular church and Salvador is a tremendous anointing upon it. Incredible. The anointing upon this pastor and his people and these pastors under Navy pastors scattered out Salvador came together this Sunday morning service in the church lets the last year and a half of ministry this year. I've been to Cuba disconnect couple weeks ago from Cuba soon be on my way to Dominican Republic than not, the Dominican Republic, the going to Mexico after Mexico Guatemala Salvador Honduras and then finishing up the year in Chile. You know, I just thank the Lord for the ability he gives me the strength to the is me to continue to travel around the world and have a little part in the lives of so many service of the Lord and people around the world. Five after prayers and think about offering thank you for offering and as I said as many ways to be praying for you missionaries and I know you have many missionaries be praying for them. What a blessing number after pastor to come now you know, if you look at these pictures come faster, but some things you might notice is quite different than most places in America. Every places you've seen is packed out using people so hungry for the Lord so enthusiastic for the Lord. Another thing that you might notice is so many young people and it all. I know there's young people in our churches today in America, but in a lot of cases. Most churches have senior citizens in the and these other countries around the world are so many young people hunger for the Lord so may encourage us your pastor was sharing in the Senate school lesson about reviving certainly we need a revising May God use us to bring revival to America because as you've seen revival over the world, but in many cases, we need to be asking God send revival to our nation. God bless. You've been a blessing to be with you this morning is a will and will and will and will go thatOn one that will buy a so you will will will will will okay okay I is you are with us in the message and whether they be remembered and incubated thank you pastor as you send what a coincidence. The median Zimbabwe, but actually my wife in the very same area at the corrector pastor actually my address was host of Pennsylvania near lovely ice cream is smaller than lovely. Okay, because I grew up on a farm and got placed on and my wife is from man's choice but when I thank the Lord, you know, sometimes I may I go to churches and their pictures and missionaries there. And tonight I hear people say, well, you know over this is our missionary, but we never see him, but that's what I like to visit the churches so that people can put a face to a missionary and let them know that I view you know you're hearing you this camera gunnery Cambria Somerset. This is Somerset. Okay no ordering a bordering of every County of local homegrown missionary, but you know this January. My wife and I began forty six years as much as missionaries, forty six years ago. We want the coaster Rico start the Spanish language and stayed on there for eleven years and then went to Guatemala than showing that smart kids were born, raised my friends are my first children were a set of twins and dying with them. They're buried in Costa Rica, but I might not to boys and I have this. The youngest one is in the ministry doing a lot what I do with the missionary colonies heart and I want to say that I is a blessing for me to meet Jed David Pastor David son because delivery moment I met him in Zimbabwe. He was sharing about what a son, Devin, it does, doesn't Salvador and so I've heard a lot of different occasions insisted to meet him this morning before I I wanted basically what I want to do this morning. You know this if pictures worth a thousand words, and I have as others of video that I want to share with you of some of the things that I do, but you know over the years. She is a forty six years as a missionary probably anything you can think of what a missionary does .net beginning digging up all holes for septic tanks and dig ditches for foundations and ministering to children and young people in camps, send Bible school work and planning churches and then medical teams. I do not like I'm really done a whole lot of things but over the years my ministry I find being reduced more basically to teaching, teaching pastors through seminars and conferences, and also doing a lot of teaching and Bible schools because you know once you note, and with urine at ten forty window and there's a great need for a van syllogism, but in a lot of countries. You can even get into and but outside of the ten forty window. The main area of ministries, teaching, teaching, and national leaders and pastors, and that's what I do because, among location is just tremendous. Because if you're able to minister to pastor and that pastors teaching pastoring a hundred people two hundred people five hundred people. The multiplication is just tremendous, and I want to share a few testimonies. Perhaps you might not have heard with you before I show the video, but you know, we just had this terrible typhoon last year in the Philippines. Well, I just happen to be going to the Philippines when that right before that happened matter-of-factly of time before I left the airport and Dulles. My plane was a late December, hours, because was a typhoon going across Japan and we can fly in. After that, you know, they got word clearance to go. We left, but because of being two hours late and were so many other planes around the world word was going to Tokyo that the error was literally start with airplanes, and I remember making six at least six circles around the airport because it was a certain river coming out a piece of land. Their remit the ocean and is up and I remember going around that six times and when I finally landed the plane for the Philippines was already gone. So I do spend the night in Tokyo and then next they went on the Philippines and start of the three-day seminar for pastors over Philippines, but then there was another if typhoon going across the northern part of Philippines. We got a lot of rain and wind, but not named any damaging and then after two weeks ministering in the Philippines that went on to Brunei, which is a country is a hundred percent Muslim and the churches, runs aground in the country and spend a week there in Brunei and think them home. Shortly after that was a terrible earthquake. Earthquake. The typhoon. I say bravo greatest in history and shortly after that I got an e-mail from a missionary that I was with air Bible school. When the war and the part of the work in and he shared his testimony. I does want to share with you because sometimes we don't hear things like this. But anyway, he said of their sixty churches. They have there in the Philippines. Seven of those churches were located one that island where you probably seen the pictures in the paper where they actually move the ship up on the island and he said of the seven churches. We have another island, not one believer was injured and the churches themselves that whatever the few minor repairs or damages at the place of the church buildings, but nothing of Adam and any major in no problem there at which a hero is the reason tremendous testimony that God 's power watching over his people there were literally thousand thousand people were killed and then he shared a testimony to Bible school student who lives on that island, and I taught him when I was in Manila in the Bible school and they had after that time they had a little vacation then he went back to his home and this is due to testify this, he says we were praying because the sing was coming, and we were praying that it would not blow it shipped up on our house can you imagine the fats and this is what he said is in our house has two floors, and he said the wind was so strong that are actually blew a truck right through the first floor the house and we were up on the second floor, but we were spared nothing happened, and he said to the director the Bible school. I'll be back to Manila couple day in a couple days to continue on in the school, but I know what a tremendous testimony how God watches over his people. So I bless the Lord for that. And another thing I like to share it, and perhaps we don't hear much about this. My son has been in contact with the actually a lady who worked with OME OME is operation mobilization of mobile 's SNL and him famous Spanish but anyway they located all over the world 's a have been use ships within one to the ports and send workers out to evangelize and others in areas of ministry as out he's been speaking to this lady. There actually Susan in the Jews in the in Germany that one another in their headquarters. They are in a lot of passes are coming, and recently just last week he she shared this with my son. She said there so many Muslims coming to the Lord. This is incredible so many Muslims coming to the Lord season. Recently we had this pastor from Morocco that so many people coming to the Lord that we have with no one to teach them and my heart you know when I heard this is so cut open doors for me because my heart. Once the go wherever there's a need like this and and is she was relating of the Confederate Muslim nations around that so many Muslims are coming to the Lord and the pastors are in tremendous, and the cause is not enough workers. So I'm asking for volunteers. This morning, how many would you want to go to the Muslim nations because is amazing. You know when 9/11 happened when 9/11 happened and all that took place immediately into my own spirit. I said God is changing directions. God is she putting use is always plan a different gear and because if you remember back in 9/11. Mostly most. No one knew who Muslims were, we never, you know, we never even thought about Muslims. But when 9/11 happened. Immediately, the world 's attention was on the Muslim people, and I said, God is now going to start zeroing in on the Muslim world and were going to see many coming of the Lord and I've had over the years tremendous testimonies of what's happening happening in Egypt and other nations of the world and Muslim countries, Indonesia. I was in Indonesia, very not very long ago tremendous move the Lord in Indonesia. Many people coming to the Lord, so I would. As you know, if you're not willing to go you not ready to go to the Muslim nations of the prey for the Muslim nations because it's harvest time. I truly believe it's harvest time I met some missionary, now forty six years my case, my testimonies. This is harvest time around the world. God is bringing so many souls into the kingdom of God world. Why it is now a special zeroing in on weight of the Lord on the Muslim people, so be prayed for the Muslim people that God is at work and I want to share one little testimony that probably you will need and think, is serving great, but to me, is very special because we normally were accustomed to hear about many, many thousands of souls coming to the Lord, but a be my ministries basically get filled up with teaching pastors and Bible schools, but they always want you to teach our SKUs may always wanted to preach whenever you have a little at a time that you're not doing anything on the preach in the churches and which I do and in and I can say this, that in every country I go to people get saved in every church service. It's amazing because it's a power the Lord over the nations of the world and people are hungry for the Lord and in every start service people get saved sometimes quite a few people did say but I just want to share something it happened last year. Last November I was in Guatemala, a priest and a little tiny church and where it all all all Indians because half the population of Guatemala 's Indian and a priest and this little church in recent human altar call and there was this teenage girl come up carrying a baby. I don't think she's married, but then he wasted them up carrying his baby to give her heart to the Lord and then there was this man walked up to the altar, and he was leading a little boy later found out he was three years old and the man said that my son was sick, give his heart to Jesus and a high hit on looking down at this little boy and I'm saying to myself visiting understand what he's talking about, you know, I'm saying inside. I didn't want to say to him publicly that you know you see the this little guy there, so I say let's pray and he was so series little boy was so seriously motivates hands and closed his eyes and I let him, and assume his prayer, he would just so serious in what he was going in. I'm just saying all gone. You know this heart that you know how to reach in and then after that I did after the service and the new. We went upstairs to give us a meal and this little boy was upstairs in his mother and dad was there in this mother said to me you notice as I went to my little boy to the bathroom and when I was in the bathroom night. My son said mommy, I want to know Jesus and so she brought them out in getting to the data in the data brought them up. But what I want to say while we were eating a meal. This little boy which is running everywhere and singing end and I don't know what he was in another world, something to happen. Not a lot happened. But to me that's a tremendous testimony how God you know would take it would touch a little boy like this and bring them into the kingdom of God. And so often I say, you know, like this. That's when the whole soul. Printable order to know God doesn't despise anyone on the iMac people will well up in years gets a but, you know, their life is almost over, but when you get a little child like that. It has a whole life ahead a.m. the serve the Lord. So what if in this blessing I will also want to share one thing with you. I didn't know that your pastor was going to pick up another offering after this, but I would just want to say this if you want to do something for my son on the back there is a picture of my wife and my youngest son, who's also in the ministry with a unique travel, sometimes me and sometimes he goes on his own but my son is going to it in Tanzania and all beyond very honest with you with finances been very tough. He was intense in a couple years ago and when he went to Tanzania. Once he went for was literally with chain saws and axes. The cut roads back into the remote area of Tanzania, so they get four wheeled vehicles back in this area to reach unreached tribes and after two weeks of doing that. Then they walk. Literally for hours every day, first for a week or so back into an area where they can contact the tribe would never seen a white person, you know, I don't day in which were living, that seems impossible, but they found the drive back there that never knew a white person and were able to preach the gospel in some some and came to the Lord. Well, my son is heading back. This in June and heat while he was there before he met this applicant brother who use of a pastor and also evangelists, and he's been trying to help his brother a body my help. Maybe provide the motorcycle for him, because it's really very remote rescoring and my son is not going going to be teaching the Bible school for two weeks. There, and he's always so. It also taken equipment for this pastor so that they can show Bill into the area 's words were quite remote in other places as well, and my son is really struggling because of finances are not coming through because he has a projector. He has a screen. He's a generator and plus it's against to get to Africa, so I just want to throw this out to you, you know, if you want to help in an offering that pastor said he was undertaken for me. After the service you know of welcome, but if you want to mention to do something specifically for my son, you know, make a note of that. Or even if you would reduce up what to do something later pastor to get in contact with me to be able to help him of my son has a tremendous dedication to the Lord matter fact he was supposed to go to Cuba in May and he just now cancel that out, because finances been really tough that could get the finances to get to Cuba and now he has equipment bought the Google Africa really struggling so I just laid out before you I want to you know they say a picture is worth a thousand words, and I just want to show you a video that will help describe what I do and help better understand that you can pray better for me as I travel around the world. You know Pastor McGee of a is only the Lord that I'm here this morning because I was in Honduras two years ago and I was held up by three gunmen was shotguns robbed of everything I had never they had except the close of my back and very fortunate because the very robbers were policeman and then you know Pastor David, the son would know more about it than most of us here, but I was pretty dumb. I told the pastor. I said let's go to the police station to help because they stole that the vehicle and I was driving a riding in. They were taken me home to were absent to spend the night after teaching Bible school that night within so I said the pastor can we go to the police station and tell the people. The policeman that may be reviewed on this automobile and recovering well and what happened. We walked right into the very police station, where the three men who robbed this with a policeman and in and brother David would notice him from Central America. They leave no witnesses behind. I recognized one of them to a wearing ski masks. One was not wearing a ski mask. He stood under a street light from hits the wall right there from me either. I knew I recognized him immediately when I walked into the police station, and he knew it as well because I stared him down. Then he turned his head from me, but I didn't say anything. I believe also do the Holy Ghost refrain me from speakers speaking to him and calling him out because if I would've called them out. They leave no witnesses in these countries they were to shock the pastor 's wife, myself and the owner the vehicle that were in the police station, but got spared my life. So that's why I'm with you this morning, and I think because I think the Lord, because it seems that well since that happened last year I've been in so many countries, even since that time that I believe that the Lord has a little more of people that I should minister to more souls to get saved and more passes be blessed and encouraged so you know, I just mention this. I mention one more thing. And when you sometimes if people didn't you realize how to pray for missionaries of our world is becoming extremely dangerous. I also last year in particular cases. When I was in the Philippines and I was in Honduras last year I was really sick coming very. I'm talking about really sick, and this is something is quite common quite frequently as you travel around the world. All kinds of bugs and diseases and everything are a two one two, and so I slat appreciate the prayers of God 's people that God would just cover up with people and covers with prayer that he would continue to give us strength to do the work of the Lord, so I'm asked my brother if he can put this all on them. On this slide there that screen and what you go to see here is the last year and a half of ministry. My son bought me a video camera for my birthday back in June of two thousand twelve, and since that time, I've been doing a little video I swear I've been through this last first two thousand twelve and last year, two thousand thirteen I haven't done anything in two thousand thirteen, but I been in Cuba this year, but this is a last year and a half of ministry. So if you want to go ahead. This'll give you a little idea actually begins. Go ahead with it begins where I first met your pastor and Harare, Zimbabwe in the Bible school. There, so we really go work on it should be ready to go. You have the very beginning, probably on while waiting, I is mentioned is that the not mention about praying for missionaries of in forty six years I've been to. I been sick so many different times of almost died with hepatitis of other things. But this past year when, in September, when I was in the Philippines. I got so ill newbies radio that the and when you when you go out there and agree to go should be the first picture is not a silent, that's the that's several regret the Bible school pastor David is dispersed your class of the three hundred students and this is a third-year class turned up a little bit doesn't want you to hear that you see Shauna. This is a language of Zimbabwe and this is a view of the sights and sounds of their countries around the world help you hope what to pray for the nations of the world. One thing you'll see about the Africans. This is a third-year class and most of now, there graduated most of those of your all right administrate inside Zimbabwe or other countries, but I love to be with the Africans when their worshiping because the Africans worship with their whole bodies using them using their legs and actually they're not just using the legs to use them. There is singing with their legs are singing their nursing and doing it with their their dances are doing and you can see them as they are there. As I said, Mrs. eight o'clock in the morning where we just begin the third-year class. Your pastor taught there. Some years back. Reference met him in this Bible school. Living Waters Bible college. I been there. I don't know how many different times ministering and this is actually another Bible school of their NARAL rate seventy five students. The first one has three hundred students were back there now with the chapel service were ministering in a chapel service and also praying for them after we minister there, but as you see these applicants there in Zimbabwe. Pray for Africa, the Lord 's been so good. I have been now in eleven countries in Africa. What a blessing to be one in Zimbabwe, many, many years. There are occasions and what a blessing to have a little part of the lives of the service of the Lord as they dedicate their lives to serve him. It was amazing when you travel in the countries how many people are going to Bible school because of such a desire to serve the Lord and many students in a different Bible school praying for the them is with ministering to them God would use them bless them. Now they're going to another part of the world. This is China a been to China now three times. This was of this particular trip was of tremendous trip. God used in China China men from there to bring a hundred and seventy five pastors literally from all over China. We met in two different spots in close hidden the way that no one could you know, find you and I would ask that you look at these pictures we put a little more sound. Please look at these pictures how meticulously there are writing down everything they can, and listening all they can because they had a have Bibles in China, but very, very little study material, and so everything they can get. They just write it down, grasp, but so they can take it back to the people I actually thought the second book, the Corinthians. Well I was there and they translated my notes in the Chinese. This is the first place was in a hotel where we were enclosed three days and three nights. I know I'm going in knowing going out and then when was over. Everyone went their separate ways. This is in a Bible school in Beijing give you down the main one of the streets of Beijing glaucus side street dirt road with a fix bicycles and cars grown up with grass and junk and back in the back is a Bible school all made out of tin roof, roof and size everything with a brought that these group of pastors and leaders from all over China on N Mongolia for their and when we went in. We had. We were told, please get down on the floor so that no one will see your faces because their words were in place. He is taking in and in and out white people will be Boston so we were hidden away back in this little Bible school there in Beijing. What a blessing to see these the hunger they have know that you notice you see a lot of women because in Asia. Men are so reluctant to come to the Lord that and you take Indonesia you think Korea unit you take your China, Philippines, many, many women. God puts his hand upon it on them and uses them to minister the God what people what a blessing. Some of these people right there received the Holy Ghost, as I was we minister to them, and I wanted to him and okay I know ring up a person here up one amount as their worshiping the Lord here you go to see a man coming up on the screen a moment on the left of organizing comes up. This man spent six years in prison for preaching the gospel actually hunted as an animal in the in the field because as a Christian man. There he was a one. The Lord used to bring these a hundred and seventy five pastors into different groups from all over China, Mongolia, all water price they pay in all these pastors and leaders, their churches are all underground and you never know what's going to happen to them. They can be reprimanded even kill, so be praying for the Chinese pastors. What a blessing such a hunger for the Lord. Here they are praying. This blesses me so much because believe me, the Chinese pastors know how to pray because our life is on the line all the time to pray for China, literally millions of souls are coming to the Lord in China. Great time for China so many coming to the Lord Jesus, what a blessing to go there. Hallelujah, thank you Lord Jesus answered Aaron, one of our interpreters did a beautiful job of interpreting Forrester now are coming closer to home. This is Guatemala first places three hours out of Guatemala City the capital place goes a cup of good old days, a seminar for pastors sixty pastors and stick up got been a wonderful thing there because Osuna, St. Louis city because I we going to the city and is open to everyone. All denominations and there was a using passage crying there, because was a lot of strife amongst the churches and God brought on healing words of the pastors and leaders and be able to would be a great ministry to that particular city. This brother here is one of our first Bible school students. When I went to Guatemala, nineteen eighty three and now he has about six five oh schools in Central America, Cuba, and this is his church in Guatemala City were worshiping the Lord and ministering in the moment will be praying for the people. As I said, and every service people didn't say and go see in a moment and were praying for the people know not everyone is going to see have gotten saved in this particular were going to see their but pray for them. Plus, people are getting saved where praying for them after the service. What a blessed time that his brother. God uses him now and embrace them in this way. This begins last year in Sierra Leone, Africa went to the four major cities in Sierra Leone for pastor seminars. There there again. Pastors hunger for the Word of God attempted to take all the notes that they can because they're taking it back to the people to be able to share with them and encourage their people and him be less than the ministry if I was really touched by Sierra Leone and ever heard of them movie blood diamond blood diamond was filmed in Sierra Leone. A nation is very rich in diamonds and gold, but is so poor because they exploit the people so bad. This is another one of the pictures of the cities there. We did a seminar in Sierra Leone him, Dominican Republic Minister Lisbeth earned trip above and three churches in the Bible school and in May am going back to the Dominican Republic to be my. I guess about the fourth time now going there. Pastors daughter their UC and they service a tremendous thing took place because Opera priests and a Sunday morning on our ladybug twenty five years old, came forward just broken and weeping before God, and when she did that twenty five young people followed her to the altar. What a tremendous blessing that was, and then we preach that night Opry set night in a church of five hundred people are so many people came to the Lord that you must either the local pastor and another pastor helping prey for so many people are coming to the Lord and in the Bible schools under the mingle been going back this year again in May the minister in the Bible school, plus other churches as well. People are so open to the Lord their God is blessing then, New Mexico, you know, if I was that young man. Today, I would go to Mexico was a missionary in his harvest time. This is a Sunday morning service to services in this particular church. All you see there are people, ninety people came to the Lorna. One Sunday morning service. The second service thirty people came to the Lord in that that particular church. People are so hungry for God in Mexico. This is Mexico City, where a pastor who has different churches throughout Mexico brought his leaders and workers together for three days ministering to their leaders and their pastors I think it was that if the leaders there for their Mexico City. Her brother, David would be able to read, say, that's what it's saying bless your name on able, there's no one like you as a pastor 's wife. There is once again you'll see the hunger and God 's people. The desire to worship him with all the parts and this is at the first earth were submitted but these are just the workers in that one church where I message all the workers in one Church one of blessing to have a church just as so many workers now this is Philip Reeves in Brunei spent two weeks in the Philippines a week in Brunei did pass a seminar in Manila are right outside of Manila over three hundred pastors from Manila scattered over the country, plus some came in from Singapore. What a blessing there again. You know, I can we pray for so many people in this seminar. They were so hungry that they would not, we pray for hours and hours actually worked had made for lines of people for pastors praying with myself and they were so hungry visas want more of God. More of God. As I said, we pray, pursue many and he is so hungry for the Lord is seeking the Lord crying out for more of God. What a blessing to be able to minister to people with so much hunger for the things of the Lord. What a privilege. What a blessing to have a little parts into the lives of the service of the Lord actually some idea to go on the Philippines are quite a few years and some of those in our past three and I minister to them when they were in Bible school. What a blessing to see them now have their own churches and own ministries and going on to be frugal from for the Lord Jesus. This is the Bible school or a mention about the one brother was on the island where the truck was blown through the roof. This is the Bible school. There stories from all over the country, such hunger for the things of the Lord, what a blessing. Then we went, says six hours north of the of the Manella was called Baguio hundred and eighty pastors there came for several days of ministering icily ministering eight hours a day for these pastors, and I was so sick, you see these pastors. This row pinning crying out to God. I was so sick that I could maybe stand the minister had to sit down, but when you see something like that, you knows not to sell this God at work because God is working in their lives and breaking them before him. As I said, what a privilege and honor to be able to touch the lives of so many people and are going back to the Roman churches and ministering carrying it on brew nine hundred percent Muslim. The church is underground and this is that this brothers really blessed because he has worked it out to the government that he brings in people from China, Malaysia and the Philippines. Other nations there and I spent a week teaching their leave these leaders. Some these different countries sharing with them teaching their lives. And as for the ministry and then on a Sunday morning service where people are coming together at that afternoon I went to another church where was underground. You cannot hope ministry opened a minister openly and Mrs. Salvador right finished up the last year, brother David would know much about that because he spent how many years of Salvador greeted. I thought in the Bible school and in Salvador, plus two days passive seminar for hundred eighty pastors, plus a church service this particular church and Salvador is a tremendous anointing upon it. Incredible. The anointing upon this pastor and his people and these pastors under Navy pastors scattered out Salvador came together this Sunday morning service in the church lets the last year and a half of ministry this year. I've been to Cuba disconnect couple weeks ago from Cuba soon be on my way to Dominican Republic than not, the Dominican Republic, the going to Mexico after Mexico Guatemala Salvador Honduras and then finishing up the year in Chile. You know, I just thank the Lord for the ability he gives me the strength to the is me to continue to travel around the world and have a little part in the lives of so many service of the Lord and people around the world. Five after prayers and think about offering thank you for offering and as I said as many ways to be praying for you missionaries and I know you have many missionaries be praying for them. What a blessing number after pastor to come now you know, if you look at these pictures come faster, but some things you might notice is quite different than most places in America. Every places you've seen is packed out using people so hungry for the Lord so enthusiastic for the Lord. Another thing that you might notice is so many young people and it all. I know there's young people in our churches today in America, but in a lot of cases. Most churches have senior citizens in the and these other countries around the world are so many young people hunger for the Lord so may encourage us your pastor was sharing in the Senate school lesson about reviving certainly we need a revising May God use us to bring revival to America because as you've seen revival over the world, but in many cases, we need to be asking God send revival to our nation. God bless. You've been a blessing to be with you this morning is a will and will and will and will go that
