Joshua Nations Schools This Month: Colombia Tanzania Divine Connections Word of the Lord All matters of lasting influence come by "revelation." When Jesus asked His disciples who they thought He was, Peter said, the Son of the living God. Jesus said, flesh and blood has not revealed this to you but my Father which is in heaven has revealed this to you. Returning from overseas I was witnessing for several hours to a person who belonged to a false and dangerous religion. We departed as the plane landed. Soon thereafter I began to have severe neck aches for over six months. I prayed, fasted, had others pray seemingly to no avail. I even had medical attention. Then one day I had a "revelation" from my Heavenly Father. He brought to my memory that I had given the man my ministry card and that he was inflicting curses against my neck. As soon as I heard this I took authority over the demon spirit and was instantly healed even to this very day.
4,389 Schools in 45 Nations 82,250 Students, 9,998 Graduates Dear Joshua Nations Partner, How has time spent itself so quickly? How is it that we find ourselves in October already? It is because we have been so busy about our Father’s business. We work while it is yet day for the night will quickly approach. Here we are with another year of "incredible fruitfulness" for the kingdom. As faithful partners, you have excelled in prayer and support. I am cognizant of this every time I board a plane to far flung cities of the world. This became so clear in my mind and spirit after this recent trip to Pereira, Colombia where Tony Nichols led us in a Global Advance Front Line Shepherd's Conference. The ministry time was nothing less than "spiritually phenomenal". I’ve been so excited to get this letter to you to tell you about it. By day, our team of five ministered to over three 3,000 pastors and leaders from all over Colombia. The teachings, equipping messages and scriptural truths blessed them so much. In addition, Jack and I trained over 400 pastors to start Bible Training Centers and distributed 2,500 sets of curriculum and 17,000 Bibles to leaders. These leaders will in turn distribute them in their villages and communities.
In the evening crusades, each time an invitation for salvation was given, it was met with overwhelming passion, tears, hunger, earnestness, and eagerness. Each invitation was accompanied by prayer for healing, which resulted in many miraculous healings. Jack Gaudin ministered to a lady who hadn't walked in two years. Friend, she left that meeting WALKING with good strength! I ministered to a man with very poor eyesight, and God totally restored his vision. Deaf and dumb spirits were cast out in the mighty name of Jesus. On and on the power of God was present to heal. The testimonies of Jesus Christ are piling up to the praise and glory of our God. This is why we go! <continued...>
