Dear Joshua Nations Partner, The month of June ushered in the anniversary of our wedding, just forty-four short years ago. I thank God for my dear bride Lana, who so graciously released me to do God’s work. God has been so good to us these 44 years of marriage and ministry.
On June 3rd, we had the privilege of ministering at Activation Ministry Center with Pastors Dave and DeeDee Thompson. Nine people gave their lives to Jesus. One person said, "Several years ago I was saved in my head and today in my heart". These are the great moments of ministry. Then we traveled to Puerto Vallarta with Joshua Nations representatives Carl and Lani Rogers to train 20 hungry pastors waiting to start Bible Training Centers. It was great to have several days of vacation to enjoy the beautiful beach and the sunsets. We benefitted greatly from the time to relax and reload. Explosive News from China and Burma Our Joshua Nations representative in China has been delivered from physical infirmities, and is training many more leaders, graduating more students, and experiencing divine appointments in the process. Through the favor of God, she has met with fifty Burmese (Myanmar) leaders to bring them into China, train them, and then send them back into Burma. These 50 leaders represent 70,000 to 105,000 students they will then train. In this process we are translating the JN curriculum into the Lisu dialect. There are 660,000 Lisu dialect peoples in Burma, China, and India. We are also printing 3,000 more books and also 1,400 books will go into Burma to students who speak and read Mandarin. This is such a mighty harvest. To reach these souls, we released $10,000 for this project BY FAITH. This money must be replaced so that we can print two thousand more books for our Colombia conference in September, but we must take advantage of these open doors while we can. Cuba, India, and Mexico We have just released funds to print 1,100 books for Cuban students. India has seen the start of 7 new Bible Training Centers. Joshua Nations is buying water purifiers for 60 homes in the area of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. These will provide good, safe, clean water to many families. Projects Update / Opportunities to Sow •
