From Darrell Sutton, executive board member.
Read this and be encouraged! God is on the MOVE!
I landed just before 12am 3 nights ago and was told immediately that the meetings in a hotel, that had been advertised privately, were hindered by the KGB who came to the conference room and sat in on the first day of meetings. The hotel tipped off the authorities. However, Jesus already had predicted "the days are coming when religious people who report you to the supposed 'powers that be' will believe that they are actually helping God."
And with so many Christian ministers coming from different countries simultaneously, it seemed suspicious to the Kazakh Muslim government, so they would not allow any preaching in that public place. Still, God is greater and we, though hindered, were not defeated.
We moved the conference to a registered church venue. And yesterday I was able to preach the first message to nearly 100 Kazakh House Church leaders that arrived from as far away as Turkey and Korea, and every Kazakh speaking district in between. This assembly was historic, the first of its kind ever organized for Kazakh leaders.
When I stood up to minister I couldn't help but think back to 35 years ago when I lived in Istanbul for 16 months and preached throughout the country to Turkic speaking people. The Lord truly is a God of marvels.
The time spent in this conference was edifying. Christ was exalted and men and women were empowered by the Word of His Grace.
They now are preparing themselves for greater exploits that the King wants to do through them. God is good. Present in the pics were the select few of God's gifted Five-Fold servant-leaders to the Kazakh tribes in Turkestan. Continue to pray for our meetings in the Kazakh churches which start tomorrow. Lord willing, I'll see you at Convo!
Until the Whole World Hears His Name,
Brother Darrell
