Thanks for ROCK Church supporting this ministry.

This trip to Northern Nigeria was a great success. Many people gave their lives to the Lord. Lots of great miracles, healings, deliverances and so much more . . . Several testimonies stand out in my mind, In Ashadaru village in Niger State we had an awesome time with the Saints there. They are such a simple people with a big love for the Lord. Many more gave their lives to the Lord after we showed The Jesus Film and ministered to them personally. (as you know, the Africans love people to pray and lay hands on them). We spent the night there, sleeping on the floor of a hut.

The next day we ministered at a 6 am prayer meeting before the villagers went off to the farm. Then at 11 they came in from the fields, just for us to minister to them again. I spoke for about 20 minutes, then we called all the sick and afflicted forward and prayed for them. There were two who were deaf and dumb. The Lord opened the ears and mouth of the young lady who was deaf and dumb! It was so neat to see the Lord do that for her.

I always ask the Lord, Why not both? Usually He chooses to answer with . . . silence. But we rejoiced to see the one who was set free!

Many were healed of stomach ailments, pains, and varios other things.

Then we set off on motorbikes to another village to deliver a witch from demons. She gave her life to the Lord through one of the local Pastors, but still had plenty of demons.

So, I went and cast the devils out of her and took all her potions, powders and charms and burned them in front of all the villagers. This young woman who was a witch came to our village later and brought a friend – we baptized them both, plus about 20 others.
I also had a chance to speak to some Muslims about the Lord and greet some local dignitaries. Then I spoke 4 times at a 3 day prayer conference in Zaria.

During this trip I ministered in Abujah, Zaria, Kano, Kaduna, Katsina, Sabuwa, Kontagora, Ashadaru and Wusasa (oldest Christian Community in Northern Nigeria).
Thanks to the continual support of The Rock and many others, we are making an impact in the lives of people who may never have heard of Jesus, the gospel and the kingdom of God.

I leave Feb 22 for England (now less than 4% Christian). I will minister the length and breadth of England for 3 1/2 weeks. Then I am doing a conference in Izegem, Belgium for two days, and a church service. Then off to Brussels to do a Holy Ghost & Fire meeting with Christian leaders in Europe to get them refired to win Europe for Jesus.
