A Little History…..

My visit to the beautiful country of Uganda wasmade possible by an event that transpired in August

his Pastor, Leo Ruhwabwoba, and the Pastors inUganda, that the invitation came for me to visit thePearl of Africa..

2011. Whilst on a preachingtrip to Zimbabwe, the Lordallowed my path to crossthat a fine young preacherfrom Uganda, BrotherTalemwa Busobozi. He is ayoung man who hasdedicated his life to theservice of the Lord and istruly a blessing to the Brideof Christ. It was by BrotherTalemwa introducing me to

Bro Talemwa(right) and myself in

Zimbabwe, 2011

Identified by the Message……A Testimony at the Airport

It is Friday, 11 October 2013, and I have just landedat O.R. Tambo International Airport inJohannesburg. As I get off the plane and headtowards the International Departure terminal, I wasapproached by a friendly gentleman. After greeting,

he says, “I noticed you werereading Brother Branham’sbook.” While waiting to board inDurban and on the plane toJohannesburg, I was reading outof the Seven Church Age Book.It did not take long to realize

that this gentleman is my fellow brother and servantof the Lord Jesus Christ. Brother Mukhethwa wason his way home to Limpopo from Durban. He wasat the V.O.G. library translating the Message intoVenda. We had a good time of fellowship as heshared about the translations he is doing and hisdesire to help get the Message out and hiswillingness to work with whoever needs hisassistance. He is also an evangelist at his homeChurch. The Lord willing, we will visit their soon.

My First Stop in Uganda……The District of Mityana (11 – 15 Oct)

In a hired vehicle, Brother Leo and Brother Talemwafetched me from Entebbe Airport and we drove foralmost 3 hours to reach Mityana – their homedistrict. It was here that Revealed Word Tabernaclewas started almost 14 years ago. By the leadershipof the Lord, Brother Leo moved to Mityana andbegan evangelizing the town. From humblebeginnings, in a little room in a village, RevealedWord Tabernacle now have their own land and aretrusting the in Lord to be able to erect a permanentstructure that they can worship in. Three serviceswere held at Revealed Word Tabernacle.

The Word Going Forth……from Revealed Word Tabernacle

The burden to reach out to as many as possibledrives Brother Leo and his team to do all they canwith the limited resources they have to get theMessage to the people – not just in their countrybut neighboring countries also. Brother Talemwahas been instrumental in getting the Message intoEthiopia and helping spread the Message in Kenya.

It is through these efforts that almost an entirePentecostal group in the village of Kyamusisiembraced the Message of the hour. Even thoughthe denominational headquarters took away theirland and their church – they were willing to count itall lost to embrace the Revealed Word that God hassent in our day. Though they face strong andconstant persecution they will not give up this Pearlof Great Price they have found. To help grow themin the Word, Brother Leo and Brother Talemwa willalternate going there. With no transport of theirown, they would hire motorcycles to get to thebelievers in Kyamusisi. The Lord allowed me theprivilege to be able to visit this new Church and toshare the Word of God with them

is going out into the villages to spread the Message

These are the Believers at Kyamusisi. Irrespective of the weather, the will gather under

this shelter to worship God. More than 40 have already been baptized in the last few months

The Next Leg of my Journey……The City of Kampala (16 – 18 Oct)

Kampala is the Capital City of Uganda and I wasreally amazed as to how modern the city is. But,with modernization, comes all the devices of thatwicked one to steer the people away from God andto indulge in the pleasures of this world. Yet, in themidst of all the darkness, The Lord has His Beaconsof Light that stand as a witness against the darkness.I was granted the honor to minister at two of theseBeacons.

shared great words of encouragement with me

Speckled Bird Tabernacle is situated just outside themain city centre and is a worship place for almost300 believers. Unfortunately, due to tight schedulesfor both the Pastor, Brother Gideon Byekwaso andmyself, our time of fellowship was very limited. Imet Brother Gideon on the Wednesday and onThursday he was leaving to Kenya for services there.

The little time we had together was a real blessingfor me. Brother Gideon is also very actively involvedin spreading the Message throughout Uganda andsurrounding countries. He has also been on radioprograms sharing the Message. As a true warrior ofthe Faith, he labors tirelessly to present the PureWord to his fellow countrymen in the form ofoutreach campaigns.

Local Christian Assembly, Kampala……Pastor Robert Kabasi

Local Christian Assembly is situated in the heart ofKampala and services are held in a schoolclassroom. Pastor Robert Kabasi, identifying aneed among the younger generation, was movedby the Lord nine years ago to begin what is nowknown as Local Christian Assembly, Kampala.

He also has his own little printing station in hisstudy. From here he identifies the books that areneeded by the people and then prints anddistributes these books free. Hundreds of booksgo out from this little study room to bless the Bridein Uganda.

The Final Leg of my Journey……The District of Jinja (19 – 20 Oct)

Jinja is the old Capital City of Uganda and is thebirthplace of Uganda’s industrial revolution. Fromhere industries began to move out into the otherdistricts and cities. In this case it is true that thenatural is a type of the spiritual. It would be nosurprise then, that Jinja is home to one of thepioneers of the Message in Uganda.

From under his ministry many a young men, likeBrother Robert Kabasi, have gone out taking theMessage with them and establishing churches invarious parts of the country. Brother Ibale is stillactively involved in spreading the Message and iswell travelled. With a heart to help grow andgroom younger ministers, it was a wonderfulprivilege to draw from this stalwart, wisdom andencouragement.

Obituary

Brother Bryan Frank FRANDI

Bryan passed away in Christchurch NZ on Wednesday, 14th

November 2013 at 9.45 pm after a brief stay in hospital due to deteriorating

Health. Bryan was for many years right up to the

time of his passing, a fervent believer and an active follower and promoter of the Lord Jesus Christ and of the ministry of the late William Branham.

His zeal for the Lord’s work took him and his wife Jenny to many locations throughout New Zealand, and although their sojourn in most places were usually relatively brief, their evangelical calling enabled many people to hear about God’s Word and its application for today.

Bryan was married to Jenny for just over fifty years, having celebrated their Golden Wedding in March 2013 at Christchurch, surrounded by family and friends. Their family consists of five children, three sons and two daughters, plus grand-children and a great-grand-child.

Family and friends, both local, throughout New Zealand and from overseas gathered together in Rangiora on Wednesday 20 November 2013 at 1.45pm for a time of reflection and thanksgiving to the Lord for Bryan’s life. By Bro. Kevin Murray

Letters to the Editor

h! Oh I am feasting on the BNL articles, The Salute to the spiritual WWarriors/Veterans by Bro Dean – thanks for speaking out on our

behalf, what’s in our hearts.May God richly bless all those involved in the ministry in these last minutes, as the Lord is at

hand.Thank you; please don’t forget to forward the next

issue if the Lord tarries.Your sister in Christ

Desiree Hlatshwayo

Thanks for the BNL. We enjoy it so much. Gilbert had his hip replacement yesterday and all went well. He was up for a short while this morning. He will be in hospital for several days until he is able to get around on his own.Thank you for your prayers and for putting it in the BNL for people to pray. We love and appreciate you all.Wish we could have been at the convention up North,Sounds as if they had a wonderful time.We had Bro Nestor here for a week and it was so good to meet him and his wife Genna. We are helping them financially as a fellowship and lots of things were worked out while he was here. We have Bro Alex Hoarau here at present. We help him financially too. He lives on a shoe string most of the time, but the Lord is doing a wonderful work through his ministry amongst Moslems and Catholics. It is wonderful how the Lord leads him to go to different places and he has no idea how he is going to get there, but the Lord always opens the way for him.What a wonderful God we serve!!!Hope you are well up there. You would no doubt have enjoyed the visit of Bro Ron and Sis Fleda.God bless you real good. Much love to you. Sister Barbara Leov – Nelson N.Z.

God bless you Brother Charles,

Thank you for the latest BNL with the many wonderful thoughts from the Word and the many Testimonies.

Be encouraged; be strengthened in the plan of God for your life, you have been a channel of blessing.Regards to all in New Zealand

Wow! It was so good I’ll even say it backwards, woW!I am talking about the Asia Pacific Message Conference held over four sunny days in Kerikeri, the Bay of Islands, New Zealand over Labour Weekend 2013. (October 25-28) The convention, and a three day Ministers Meeting held earlier in that week was organised and managed by Shekinah Glory Tabernacle from nearby Moerewa with Pastor Malcolm Wano leading. The convention and ministers meeting was for some an awakening, for others a celebration of the successful missions and outreach within the greater Asia Pacific regions and for others a realisation of a far larger vision.Both the ministers meetings and the convention itself featured two highly experienced ministers, Bro Vin Dyal from Trinidad and Brother Ron Peterson from Arizona, USA. Each gave much advice to the ministers both formally and informally and both preached at the convention.Other visiting ministers spoke on their experiences and needs too. We heard how the Solomon Islands needs early growth preaching and teaching support, how Papua New Guinea is being changed. We also heard that the spirit of the Muslim religion is that of the law of Persia, “What is written cannot be changed.” But we learnt that Muslims can be, and are being, converted. Hindus too were being converted. In the Punjab, for example, in northern India where once there were just a few believers, there are now 200 churches and 50 ministers. Today ministers from the

Philippines, once locally focussed, are fully involved in overseas outreach. Brother Alex, a French speaking brother from Reun-ion Island in the Indian Ocean is taking the message for the first time into French Polynesia, starting in Papeete on Tahiti. More work needs to be done in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and a revival is needed in Singapore.The Asia Pacific region has 61% of the world’s population and

the harvest is ripe. The need to fulfil the prophecy of Revelation 10 v8-11 is very real. Can that be done when so many New Zealand churches are relatively small?Well, included in the meetings was the vision of individual churches working together as the body of Christ. This was an extension of Brother Adrian Gray’s missions to Vanuatu. His work had received support from many of the churches in New Zealand, not just financially but practically too. The solar panels that now re-power CD players and other equipment in remote islands were set up by Nelson believers, message CDs were also made available. Many churches financially sup-ported the work and several preachers from various churches have visited the islands to preach. Vanuatu is now at a stage where local ministers are taking over the outreach role and plan to visit all inhabited islands in the group. Ministers from Vanuatu attended the meetings as did a representative from Papua New Guinea (PNG) but more work is needed in PNG.“I need you, you need me” was the opening chorus line of a key convention song. That understanding that we need each other’s gifts and calling to help us complete our vision can be fulfilled at all sorts of levels and all sorts of ways. Even in the Convention there were technicians from Trinidad and Taranaki working together streaming services live to 1500 connec-tions. At times, representatives from up to four different churches made up the group of musicians on stage and there were also volunteers from five different churches in the kitchen working to prepare and serve the meals.The body of Christ is not just the local church, but the full number of believers throughout the world. Christ is in this world wide body. He and it are one. This is a move from “synagogue” worship to temple worship, from individual church to the full body of Christ. Instead of each church only achieving what it can do on its own the vision is that by calling on gifts and callings from other churches and working collaboratively to fulfil God’s Work much more can be achieved. Every local church retains full sovereignty. The change is in the openness to think in terms of what support can my church give to other churches in their outreach and what gifts and callings do I need from others to fulfil our own local vision. It is often only fear and mistrust that creates political boundaries that can hinder a far greater work being done. Churches in the Book of Acts supported one another; so should we.

In short this convention seemed to me to be another major step forward in Christ being formed in His people. But you don’t have to take my word for it. Brother Vin Dyal’s Third Exodus Church has photos, sermons, even the ministers meetings on their website www.thirdexodus.org for anyone to view.

Talk about body ministry!

We are our Brothers’ keepers! Report sent by Bro Danny De Mundo

God is Absolute… He has a purpose in doing and allowing things to happen. The Bible said in MATTHEW 5:45, “That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.” Like what has happened in the Philippines on Nov. 8, 2013 where super typhoon “Yolanda’’ internationally known as “Haiyan” hit the southern part of the country destroying properties, structures and claiming thousands of lives… young and old. The disaster did not spare even the faithful Message Believers in the provinces of Samar, Leyte, Cebu, Panay islands. About twenty believers were among the casualties… hundreds of houses, if not wiped out have been damaged and dozens of church buildings have been flattened to the ground if not partially trodden

down. What shall we say and do then?Brother W.M. Branham said in Smyrnaean Church Age, “The cloudy skies and storms of life are no sign of

God's disapproval. Neither are bright skies and still waters signs of His love and approval. His approval of any of us is only IN THE BELOVED. His love is elective which He had for us before the foundation of the world.”

Indeed, this disastrous calamity is incomprehensible, but it happened. However, the Bride always risesto the challenge for God’s glory. And in the midst of all these tragedies, we have a reason to rejoice as the Lord never runs out of proof that He is in the midst of His people: Hallelujah!

Brother Buboy Africa, pastor in Tacloban, testified, “We saw the water from the ocean coming..... The night prior to the typhoon's landfall, we heard over the radio that a super typhoon was coming our way. Realizing the strength of the

On Coming Storm, I was urged to invite [Below: Bro. Buboy African’s Church after the Disaster][Left: Bro. Buboy Africa]my flock to stay in our church, I called every head of the family to come together and in less than an hour, one family after another came over (20 families or at least 70 people). Altogether, we prayed, worshipped, praised the Lord and I did an exhortation.

Before daylight, the wind started to blow hard.... harder

and harder with a monstrous sound. I have never experienced a typhoon in my life as strong as this one. The walls of our church were shaking, the Roof above us started to flap and eventually being pulled out of their braces and the windows started to break as the believers started to come closer together.... Suddenly, a very strong wind slammed the door open. We heard shouting’s; cryings and terrifying sounds of collapsing structures are heard all over caused by the Storm Surge. The ocean water was being pushed by the strong winds away from the shore forming a mountainous wave and with such heaviness, it rolled towards the city. Finally, the roof above us was being rolled like a sheet of paper and it just flew away and we literally saw the ocean water coming towards us, but by the grace of God, I could not explain until now how: the water came around us..... sparing 70 lives inside His Tabernacle. The storm unroofed and destroyed the major portion of our church building but the believers inside it were safe in the strong arms of the Lord. Then, with barely 10-15 minutes gap between the next storm surge, we were able to move together to the evacuation area. Indeed, He is our refuge.” Hallelujah!

The super typhoon broke down all transmitters that the provinces affected were isolated from the rest of the world. No communications whatsoever until almost twenty four hours; only then the seriousness of the devastations are being reported. People who survived are now struggling to stay alive. Lawlessness and

disorders became prevalent in the aftermath of the said typhoon. Men and women, young and old started to break loose… looting houses, stores and structures to find food. BUT not the believers! It was in this situation that made the difference. Our brethren displayed character under pressure. Instead of going with the flow of hopelessness, faith started to show up and the believers began praying and the Lord hearkened unto their pleas. And their cries reached the throne of the Lord that He touched the hearts of the elder ministers abroad such as: Brother Gerd Rodewald in Germany, Brother Eddie Byskal in Canada, Brother Ron Peterson in Arizona, Brother Dutch Scott of Georgia, Brother Graeme Harnett with the Believers Newsletter, in New Zealand, Brother Malcolm Wano in New Zealand, Brother Tony Abma, Brother Per Johansenn and Brother Jan Rogne in Norway, Brother Harold Becket in South Africa to name some… These brethren felt the sense of urgency that they initially sent funds to local brothers like brother Nestor Espanola, Brother Vernon Manahan and Brother Danny del Mundo to provide immediate needs for our affected brethren. In coordination with brother Rolando Gensis in Samar who himself was affected but immediately recovered, drove seven hours, hurdling fallen trees, debris on the road and passing on collapsed houses to reach Tacloban City and search for brother Buboy Africa. These two brothers then teamed up to purchase goods from Samar so our brethren who had no more supplies for two days now started to have something in their stomachs. Life was indeed miserable immediately after the typhoon as scattered in the whole city were not only debris but dead bodies as well. Affected cities appear to be ghost towns. With the help of the initial funding, relief operation and evacuation started as the situation in the areas are not only uncomfortable but also dangerous as bringing in foods is no longer safe as the hungry people will do anything to get food for their families. So women and children were brought to Samar and there they are being fed, sheltered and medically treated. Seven families including a seven month old baby from Quinapundan, Samar church opted to use the money sent to them to buy ticket and traveled 23 hours to reach Brother Danny del Mundo’s church in Caloocan, Metro Manila. Today, government relief efforts are gradually going in place and reaching even the remotest areas being affected. We thank all the brethren all over the world who have contributed and still raising some amount to meet every need. Lord willing, we shall be moving into the next phase of our relief endeavors on the structural area where repairing/rebuilding houses and churches for our less fortunate brethren. This burden calls for longer term efforts and requires a greater financial demand.

“… if we can lighten up each other's load, just a little bit, I think it shows such a real brotherly love and care for each other.” William Marrion Branham

We covet all your prayers and support in this regard…..

Brother Danny del Mundo

  PAK TABERNACLE ASSEMBLYMission Update September 2013

Hebrews 13:08 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever.

PSALM 126:5 "They that sow in tears shall reap in joy."

Thanks God for His true promises and we are so grateful to Him for the promise of Malachi 4 which is restoring bride tree. We totally trust “God is His own interpreter” because we are getting wonderful feedback after sowing the seed of His Holy Word through the Message of Malachi 4 across Pakistan. We are highly appreciating each one of you because you are part of this precious ministry which we are doing in this Islamic republic of Pakistan by the grace and protective hand of our dearest Lord Jesus Christ.

Report from Karachi City:

It was surprised me when three different believers from church came to me and ask me for the day for the thanks giving meetings. We are greatly appreciated for all the thanks giving services.

Mrs. Pervaiz Masih told me you were praying for my niece now she has healed by the grace of God,

that’s why I want to arrange thanks giving meeting at my home. I shared the Word of God there about thanks

giving and goodness of God to His people, people richly blessed by the ministry of the Word of God.

Brother Ejaz Masih said I got so many blessing after receiving and distributing the message of the hour across Karachi so my heat is full of thanks giving for my Saviour. He said God gave me my own house I

was living on rent but now I got promotion at job and I am going oversees from my job. He invited many people to join the thanks giving meeting at his new place. Pastor Patrus Yaqub shared very good message form Psalms 50:32 people received many blessings then they served the food among believes in the meeting. We have great and wonderful time in the presence of Lord Jesus Christ. Elder Maqsood Qadir told me as you know I had faced many problems since last few months, but thanks God after prayers He granted me freedom from all those problems. So my heart is full of thanks giving to God, he organized thanks giving service at our church and invited many people to join this service after worship I started the message from the Psalms 66:16 and gave them many examples of the mercies and goodness of our Lord God . After the ministry of the Word of God, they served the food to Believers. By the Grace of God I took three thanksgiving services in a single week. Our God is doing wonderful

deeds among His people because Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. Glory and honor to His blessed name Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and Amen!

Two old women came to our church on Sunday service and heard about the message of Hour. They were telling to the congregation we have never been heard this type of message in our whole life so we are very glad because we heard truth of the Word of God today. One of them came to me and hugged me with passionate, she is close to 80 years she appreciate me too much to preaching the truth and end time Message. I told her it is the time of end time message and I got this message from Brother Branham’s books because it’s the good news of end time age. Then she told me I came from church (denominational church) but I never heard this type of message whole my life. I really got so many blessings from this message. She is attending all Sunday services and getting more blessings. Praise and glory to the Lord! Other old woman shared her testimony and told I was very upset because I was going many churches for inward peace, but didn’t get anywhere. She said I went well known churches also but couldn’t get that peace. She said this Sunday morning I was very confused for Sunday service, where should I go? I was walking on the road, there are many churches around. I was so much confused but when I reached front of the Pak tabernacle I raised up my eyes and looked at this

Dear and beloved Believers in JESUS,

Warmest Christian love and greetings in the most precious and wonderful name of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ!

church, unexpectedly I heard the voice of Holy Ghost enter into this tabernacle. Then she said after heard the message of hour here first time in my life I got inward peace and satisfaction in my heart and I am very glad now and looking forward to know more about end time message. Blessed be the Name of Lord our God Jesus Christ!

Report from Lahore city:

brother accepted the message after reading the books of Brother Branham. After few services denominational people made propaganda against the End time message. After little while they misinformed policemen about that brother and his house, where we were worshipping, policemen said your community complaint against you and want us to stop your service because it is not a church hall it is your house. They are disturbed by your service and you must not use your house again for this purpose. Brother Akram Roshan told me before us that hall used to use for denominational services but now when he dedicated his hall only for message preaching. Right now they started to create problems and getting disturbed because of End time Message. Please keep this matter in your personal prayers because we are praying for them as Jesus said: pray for those who persecute you. It is Brother’s desire to

keep the meetings continue in that area.

Report from Jhelum city:

Holy Spirit is doing in his city, he told me I visited some catholic families and told them about the message of the hour when I told them about water baptism in the name of Lord Jesus Christ, then some sisters said we have already baptized in the name of the father, son and Holy ghost. I asked them can you read this book? They said we are studying in university, so no problem we will read this book. Then I gave them the book of our prophet (The Godhead explained) made available from voice of God recordings. After few weeks I went back to visit them and asked them about the book, they said we have understood about real baptism by this book and ready to be baptized in the name of Lord JESUS Christ but not in the titles. Then I baptized them in the Name of Lord Jesus Christ. Those five sisters were very happy and thanked God for this revelation. Thanks God for the Message of restoration and gospel of this age! Halleluiah and glory to His blessed name!

Report from Peshawar City:

I called brother Zulfiqar on 23 September who is our message believer brother in Peshawar city after two suicide bomb blasts in the church. I asked him about the message

believers there he said all are safe by the grace of Lord Jesus, but our eight relatives have been died including my sister in law, her husband and their two children and some others. He said more than one hundred people died and about 200 injured. Please pray for Christian people in Peshawar city they are in too much problem and they are sorrowful in this terrible time.

~Isaiah~ An excerpt from -Supernatural in your life -

By Bro. Jeff Jenkins

Now let’s begin our thought.

The Bible says that men of old spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost and then it was written down and now we read it. Mortals just like you and I, wrote the Bible. Mortals that feared and worried and doubted, had struggles, married and had wives and children took care of kids, changed diapers - mortal men and women.

Isaiah burdened for Jerusalem, praying for himself and his sins and the sins of Israel, while under the anointing, said “Behold I show you a sign; A virgin shall conceive”. Brother Branham said he probably put his hand over his mouth and said “What did I just say?” Logically Isaiah did not understand what he had just said. He was being moved and anointed by the Holy Spirit. I’ll read it to you. Isaiah 7 v 13, 14. And he said, Hear ye now O house of David is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also? Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign. Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son and shall call His name Immanuel, which being interpreted is God with us. Thousands of years, 800 years actually, circled the globe. It was never fulfilled in Isaiah’s time. People could have risen up and said “Isaiah, you didn’t have the mind of Christ”. Many probably tried to interpret what he meant by that. Was the virgin, Israel? Was it a metaphor, or was it literal? So many times it was a metaphor. So many times it had a shadow, but it had a greater meaning later, but in this case this prophecy was literal, and Isaiah, under the anointing wrote it down. But as the prophet said, he didn’t understand it himself. It never happened in his lifetime. Isaiah died, never seeing hundreds of prophesies, never seeing them fulfilled in his lifetime. Some could have said, well, Isaiah was a false prophet, but everything that he has spoken, that was written in the Word of God, it systematically came to pass, mostly in the life of Jesus’ own life and His ministry; His death, His burial and His resurrection and it’s coming to pass in our lives today. How many believe that you are going to be one of those that lie down with the lamb and with the lion? Your children will be able to play on the hole of an asp. I don’t understand that, and I don’t care if I don’t. I just want to be there when it happens, and I don’t know how literal the children’s part is, it’s probably a metaphor. It doesn’t matter - it’s going to happen. David wrote most of the Psalms while running from Saul, while in distress, while worrying about enemies. Say Amen!

Indonesia Trip

MEDAN: The presence of the Lord came down during the meetings in Belawan as the believers feed on the Word.

Motherhood: Two young mothers can’t miss the meetings even if they have to carry their kids. House Meetings: A new group of believers are now holding meetings in one of the believer’s house in Air Molek, Pekanbaru

The ten-day mission trip to Indonesia was indeed short but much has been accomplished for God’s glory. This time, the Islands of Sumatra havebeen the focus of the said trip, namely; Pekanbaru, Air Molek and Medan.The highlight of the mission was the follow up visit to Pekanbaru. Its two & a half by plane from Jakarta and six hours by land… and the roads are rough. The trip was even emotional as I was there in 2005 where I baptized 11 people in a remote area of Riau. The said group is now a church herded by brother Malau, a former Pentecostal minister, now a Message pastor. On the other side, the young brother named Adreich who picked me at the airport and the one who constantly asking me to go back is now leading a small group. Adreich is the eldest son of BrotherRichard Maricha that I baptized in 2005 with his family. Before he died in 2008, he asked his son Adreich to do everything to get me back to Pekanbaru. Brother Richard’s widow was in tears as she relates how they were persecuted by the denominational group they left since then. She said, “The eagle story you told in your last visit made an impact in our lives.” May we continue to pray for them as they need more follow ups?

Brother Danny Del Mundo

Pekanbaru: Brother Danny DelMundo orients the candidates prior to water baptism as brother Mahanaim, Message pastor in Medan translates. Brother Samosirassisted in the said baptism.

A TESTIMONY of TWO BELIEVERS…FROM GHANA

Who study at the University in the City of Bloemfontein where Pastor Scharnick is their Shepherd? We spoke to Brother Babes [Scharnicks son-in-law] to confirm the authenticity

of this testimony and he confirmed to be true. A precious brother from Ghana studying in Bloemfontein, South Africa went out with his colleague to buy something outside the campus. On their way back to the campus a car parked behind them & there came out some policemenwho insisted on searching their bags & the brothers obliged. The search didn't yield anything. The police told them that they must go to the station for finger prints. The boys asked if they could drop by varsity to let the security know what was going on and the police agreed. When they reached at the campus the security agreed but now the Police said they would go with only one of the two brothers! So they left one behind & took the other. They passed thru one Police Station and they said the police officers in that station were too busy! So they said to the brother, "we will go to another station!" So they drove till they went to a remote place where they got out of the car at some bushy area! They then asked for the brother's ATM bank-card and pin number! And told him that they were disguising as Police Officers! Their real business was to rob and kill people! After receiving what they wanted, one of the robbers drove to town to verify whether the pin number was correct & also to see whether there was some money in the account! The robber verified & came back having withdrawn part of the money that was in the brother's account! After coming back, he confirmed to his fellow robbers that the brother had given them the right pin number and didn't lie! So the robbers said to the brother, "we now want to kill you per adventure you might recognise us & sell us to police." So they startedbeating up the brother! Damaged the eyes, broke his bones and took a strangulation cord and hanged him till he was dead! When they saw that he was dead they took his corpse and put it in the boot of the car! They drove away with him in the boot possibly wanting to dispose of his remains! Whilst dead in the boot the Angel of the Lord came into the boot and touched his chest and called him by name saying, "arise!" And the brother rose from the dead! The Angel untied the rope from his neck! When he arose he was trying to look & see at the face of the Angel but He would hide His face! Then the Angel who was speaking to him calling him by name to his surprise said to him before all this, you were watching William Branham's video entitled "Deep Calleth Unto Deep!" The brother said yes! Then the Angel said, "The End Time Message you have believed will defeat Satan anywhere, any place under whatsoever circumstances!" He then said to him, "I am here again because when they were beating you up, you were crying 'Jesus' and calling Jesus on the scene! The Angel went on to say to him, "you shall be in this boot for three days!" Then he went away! All this time, the robbers were driving the car thinking they had a corpse in the boot! The second day the Angel came again and said, "Look up." When he did, he saw Angels that were dressed in army combat gear with their leader withthem whose face was so ferocious and where flying round and round guarding him! Then the Angel said to him, "you see that ferocious leader, that's Michael and they can descend on anyone who would want to cause harm to you!On the third day, the angel came back and told the brother to look. The brother saw a big eagle hovering over him with huge sharp claws and flaming red eyes. That very day, the Angel told him that he was about to get out. The car stopped and he heard dogs barking, and the Police had caught the thieves! How did they catch them? The thing is before he went out of their room at the University; a strong voice told him to leave his phone. So he left it. Now when the robbers were withdrawing money the phone would record, so the police with the help from his friend that was left would see which bank they withdrew the money, place, time etc. The surveillance cameras did what they know best! The police tracked them down until the 3rd day when they caught them. Also when the brothers went to report to the campus security, unbeknown to the robbers the security took a picture of the car's plate numbers, so they could identify the car. Now they were in the arms of the Police!The thieves thought and said he was dead, and nobody wanted to open the boot because as you know 72hrs corruption sets in to rot the body, and inside the boot was hot. But to their surprise when they opened, the brother was alive. They were amazed, and he told them about the encounter with the angel. And they would raise up their eyebrows in amazement! The brother would say I know you won’t understand! They took him for a medical examination! His eyes were checked and the Doctor was shocked that they were okay! The robbers had reported of how they had damaged them even to the level of blind-folding him! They had also reported of how they had broken so many bones in his body! To the shock of the Doctor's x-ray report no bone was broken! When they asked how come! He would simply say you wouldn't understand!Indeed the angel that the prophet spoke of is still in our presence.

Regards Sister Rebekah

Filipino testifies of The Holy Ghost in her life! ~Sister Rosemarie ~ 17:11:2013

I used to go to Easter Celebrations every year with Roman Catholics in the Philippines…re the Stations of the Cross. And one year I made a wish to God because I had marital heartache, among other things.

However, nothing happened, nothing eventuated. I got no results from my wish – itwas like I was talking to the air, I felt so empty. And then every December I used to do the Roman Catholic Morning Mass from 4-5 a.m. between December 16 – 24….every year repetitiously.

I never used to read the Bible, so I never knew if the R.C. Priests were talking the truth or not. Anyway, there was a missing link in my life between God and I and I longed to know what it was and why I could not have a personal, tangible relationship with God. I was so empty inside, regardless of my repetitious religious actions.

It was in 2009 that I contacted my sister Juvy in Australia, to ask for some of her husband’s preaching DVD Messages, hoping that his Messages might strike a Light within me and then as I started to listen Yahweh sovereignly opened my eyes in the Spirit and I began to understand The Word of God like never before, it was so beautiful…

And the emptiness and heartache within me faded away. I then started to gain strength and go free from my past disappointments, failure and pain in my life. I started to feel like I was floating and that ever since that time my problems no longer have a hold on me; I have learnt to give them all to Jesus. It is such an enormous thing to me that I can communicate with God daily, any time of the day or night and whenever I like, in Jesus’ Name, this is true liberty for me. That I can go to God and talk with Him and know that He hears me and cares for me and will act on my behalf for my best...

The Truth has given me such freedom and now I feel that the Spirit of The Lord is upon me and in me, dead religion can never provide this for anyone, only a relationship with Jesus through FAITH. Unlike before when I was a Roman Catholic...[Because now I have the Holy Ghost]now I am compelled to speak out about Jesus everywhere I go and to everyone I feel led to speak to by the Holy Ghost. I have now joyfully distributed The Word of God daily for the past three years and couldn’t be more blessed. Some days I just don’t want to stop distributing the Truth, knowing the Power of It and what God has done in my life through the Truth – the Doctrine of Jesus. But I also have a 9-5 job to do…

Ref: Isaiah 55:11 May God bless you too with...Holy Ghost… ref…Luke 11:13?

As vile as a sinner could beAnd I wondered if Christ the Redeemer

Could save a poor sinner like me

I wandered on in the DarknessNot a ray of light could I see

And the thought filled my heart with sadnessThere’s no hope for a sinner like me!

And then in that dark lonely hourA voice sweetly whispered to me

Saying, “Christ the redeemer has powerTo save a poor sinner like me”

I listened and lo, ‘twas the saviourThat was speaking so kindly to meI cried, “I’m the chiefest of sinners

Thou can save a poor sinner like me!”

I THEN FULL TRUSTED IN JESUSAND O, WHAT A JOY CAME TO ME;

MY HEART WAS FILLED WITH HIS PRAISESFOR SAVING A SINNER LIKE ME!

No longer in darkness I’m walkingFor the light is now shinning on me

And now unto others I’m tellingHow he saved a poor sinner like me

And when life’s journey is overAnd I the dear saviour shall seeI’ll praise him forever and ever

For saving a sinner like me!

Easter 2014 Camp Meeting

On behalf of the local assembly and myself, we would like to greet the Bride in the Precious Name of Jesus Christ, whom to know is Life eternal.

Referring to our announcement in the BNL newsletter dated 31st October 2013, please find further information regarding the church / family camp scheduled for April 2014. Our purpose for the camp is perfectly reflected in the following extract from Bro Branham’s message:

O.LORD.JUST.ONCE.MORE_ HOT.SPRINGS.AR V-20 N-10 (63-0628M) FRIDAY

Then Samson cried out, "Lord, they poked my eyes out. I know that You are God. I know that You have power to do it. I know You can set me free from these fetters. Just once more, Lord, just once more!" Just once more, Lord, just once more! Let there be a camp meeting on the side of a hill, like there was on the hill at the Upper Room. Let there come a sound from Heaven, like a rushing mighty wind; fill all the house, visible evidence of the resurrected Christ. "Just once more, Lord, just once more," he cried. As he cried out, in sincerity, standing there, and his blinded eyes. "I know the price, Lord, but just once more!"

There is a possibility. There is a possibility right here in this camp meeting. There is a possibility right here at this hour. There is a possibility, if we're ready to pay the price, we can see another Acts 2 take place. "Once more, Lord! We've messed it up. We've organized. We've broke up our brotherhood. We've separated our fellowship. We've took a little group over here. We're fighting with one another, and the devil is sitting back, watching us whip one another down. Lord, is it possible that once more that all hundred and twenty of us can be in one accord in one place? Is it possible that there come a sound from Heaven, as a rushing mighty wind? Once more, Lord, once more!"

Proposed dates for the camp are as follow: 17-21 APRIL 2014

We have limited accommodation available on the camp site and are able to accommodate 180 persons in various forms of sleeping arrangements as listed in the table below. Thus availability is based on a ‘first come’ basis.
