Then, I just “talked to Jesus” (I had not yet been taught on this thing called “prayer”, so I just used to “talk to Jesus!”) and thanked Him for saving me. Finally, I sang “Happy Birthday” and bit into His “Birthday Cake” (the cupcake). As I did so, the Presence of Jesus suddenly filled the cell that I was in. There I was, surrounded by iron bars, but in fact I was Free! I was soaring high above my difficulties in life; they seemed to be like nothing because Jesus had set me Free! Today, 35 years later I have a home, a family, and we are blessed to live in a land where nobody is going to imprison me for believing in Jesus or for preaching the Gospel. My circumstances have changed, and the Lord has blessed us with material things. I don’t have to use an old cupcake to celebrate Jesus; I can go and get a nice Christmas tree and cook up a big feast if I wish to. But it was not in a nice home with a big turkey on the table, but in a cell in a Mental Hospital with an old cupcake that I experienced the powerful Presence of Jesus. It just tells me one thing that it is not material things or outward circumstances, but it is the state of the heart that God looks at. It is our love for Jesus, our passion, and zeal for Him that brings the Glory and the Presence down into our circumstances. This Christmas is going to be a tough one for many people who have suffered financially. Instead of complaining, let us be thankful that we are Saved, that we are Free! Free to worship Jesus! Free to serve Him! And after that, let us go a step further and think of others. At Thanksgiving Dinner last month, Britta and I sat down with our children and we decided that this year we would forego Christmas Gifts and instead give all the money to families in our church who I know cannot afford to buy nice gifts for their children. You see, we are a Blessed people, we know Jesus. He loves us and we already have so much in this life. Let this be a time when we return to our First Love, when our hearts are re-ignited with a passion for Jesus and for His Gospel, when “things” don’t mean that much to us anymore! Let us be thankful, thoughtful of others. Let us rise up to take the Gospel of our Wonderful Lord Jesus to the ends of the earth – to those who have never experienced Him, to those who have never experienced this wonderful Joy and freedom that Christmas brings! and Harvest Report from Chegutu, Zimbabwe!

The Blessing of ChristmasAs the old song goes, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year.” I love the Christmas season with all its traditions and festivities!
I remember my very first Christmas. I had received the Lord Jesus in early December 1975. Not long after that, I found myself in the psychiatric ward of a Military Hospital for leaving Islam and coming to Jesus.
Being a new believer, all I knew was that Christmas was the “Birthday of the Lord Jesus.” I had thus saved up a little cupcake and a couple of cookies to celebrate the birthday of my Savior.
Christmas morning came, December 25, 1975. I took out the cupcake, the cookies, and a glass of “Rooh Afza” (a sweet fruit drink) to celebrate the Lord’s Birthday. I first read the Christmas Story from the Gospel of Luke. Then, I just “talked to Jesus” (I had not yet been taught on this thing called “prayer”, so I just used to “talk to Jesus!”) and thanked Him for saving me. Finally, I sang “Happy Birthday” and bit into His “Birthday Cake” (the cupcake).
As I did so, the Presence of Jesus suddenly filled the cell that I was in.
There I was, surrounded by iron bars, but in fact I was Free! I was soaring high above my difficulties in life; they seemed to be like nothing because Jesus had set me Free!
Today, 35 years later I have a home, a family, and we are blessed to live in a land where nobody is going to imprison me for believing in Jesus or for preaching the Gospel. My circumstances have changed, and the Lord has blessed us with material things. I don’t have to use an old cupcake to celebrate Jesus; I can go and get a nice Christmas tree and cook up a big feast if I wish to.
But it was not in a nice home with a big turkey on the table, but in a cell in a Mental Hospital with an old cupcake that I experienced the powerful Presence of Jesus. It just tells me one thing that it is not material things or outward circumstances, but it is the state of the heart that God looks at. It is our love for Jesus, our passion, and zeal for Him that brings the Glory and the Presence down into our circumstances.
This Christmas is going to be a tough one for many people who have suffered
financially. Instead of complaining, let us be thankful that we are Saved, that we are Free! Free to worship Jesus! Free to serve Him!
And after that, let us go a step further and think of others. At Thanksgiving Dinner last month, Britta and I sat down with our children and we decided that this year we would forego Christmas Gifts and instead give all the money to families in our church who I know cannot afford to buy nice gifts for their children.
You see, we are a Blessed people, we know Jesus. He loves us and we already have so much in this life. Let this be a time when we return to our First Love, when our hearts are re-ignited with a passion for Jesus and for His Gospel, when “things” don’t mean that much to us anymore!
Let us be thankful, thoughtful of others. Let us rise up to take the Gospel of our Wonderful Lord Jesus to the ends of the earth – to those who have never experienced Him, to those who have never experienced this wonderful Joy and freedom that Christmas brings!
and Harvest Report from Chegutu, Zimbabwe!
A paralyzed young man can walk!
God healed his paralyzed leg!
One leg was totally paralyzed and the other was almost fully useless. She was blind and could not walk.
Harvest in Chegutu, Zimbabwe!Dear Friends,
In this newsletter, I would like to report from our recent crusade held in Chegutu, Zimbabwe. Chegutu is a medium-sized town located in the heart of Zimbabwe, in the center of the country’s “Farm Belt’.
As is our practice, our Africa Team started working with the local churches several weeks before the crusade, preparing the crusade and running our 3-week Mobile Bible School. This intensive 6 day-a-week course is designed to prepare the local churches in evangelism, faith, prayer and the follow-up of new converts after the crusade.
The crusade was very well received by the people of Chegutu. Huge multitudes came out every night to hear the Gospel
preached. The Holy Spirit worked with great conviction in the hearts of the people and they eagerly responded to the Gospel Message by giving their lives to the Lord Jesus.
The Lord was pouring out His Grace most richly, confirming His Word with Signs, Wonders, and Miracles. Every night, we saw many deaf ears being opened. In addition to this, blind people received their sight and we saw lame people walking.
On the second night, a little boy who was born paralyzed and had never stood nor walked, stood up and walked for the first time in his life. The next evening, a totally paralyzed man who had no movement in his legs the night before got up from his wheelchair and walked.
What a wonderful Jesus we serve! Savior, Healer, Deliverer! He is just the same today as He was in the days of the Bible!
On the last night, we saw a large crowd baptized with the Holy Ghost and with Fire. We thus ended the Chegutu Crusade with a massive Harvest of Souls for Jesus and with the town shaken by the Power of God.
We give all Glory, Honor, and Praises to the Lord Jesus for all that He has done!
In Christ Jesus,
