Dear Friend,
85 years ago, March 4, 1937, I made the toughest transition of my life
Even though God had spoken vividly through a prophecy, it took 15 months of persistent cries from my wife to finally accept the call
“𝑊ℎ𝑦 𝑚𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒?”, I asked, “𝑝𝑜𝑜𝑟 𝑒𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑏𝑎𝑐𝑘𝑔𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑, 𝑝𝑜𝑜𝑟 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑚𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟”
________________
After many weeks of journeying, I finally arrived here on the shores of 𝗚𝗢𝗟𝗗 𝗖𝗢𝗦𝗧
to a small group of young men and women. “𝑊𝑎𝑖𝑡 𝑎 𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑢𝑡𝑒; 𝑏𝑒𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝐼 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑢𝑒, 𝑰 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝑰 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒏 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓”.
With just 2 months into my stay, the first arrow pierced my side; it was called malaria.
But He who sent me was merciful to me and spared my life
Little did I know that this was only the beginning of my life-long battles in a foreign land; storm after storm, betrayal after betrayal;
like Mary, daily, swords pierced my soul but God was with me and I never gave up.

Today, that small group I met and nurtured with my wife 𝗦𝗢𝗣𝗛𝗜𝗔 and by the help of the Holy Spirit, is now 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐔𝐑𝐂𝐇 𝐎𝐅 𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐒𝐓 (worldwide)
That one decision I made has now rippled into countless charismatic churches, over 𝟯.𝟱 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 members across the nation and over 𝟭𝟯𝟱 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
So dear soul winner/ missionary, please do not give up, wake up; 𝗜𝗧 𝗜𝗦 𝗔 𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗢 𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗟𝗢𝗥𝗗
