God With Us Int'l Ministries
March 2023 Newsletter
Greetings my friends,
Well, it’s been a long time since I have sent out a newsletter, sorry I didn’t update you sooner.
Quite honestly, we have been running quite the race since returning from India. I have much to share with you from that powerful trip.
Our team consisted of Mike, Todd and Mary Ellis, and Daniel Carranza. Our flights converged in Hyderabad India, where we were hosted by Pastor Dhanraj Kota of New Jerusalem Ministries. We visited for three days with Pastor Kota. We ministered in his Bible School, a Pastors conference, and on Sunday Pastor Mike and Daniel were at Pastor Kota’s church, while Pastors Todd and Mary went to a sister church to minister. We were blessed to pray for many in those three days. We are still waiting for the testimonies from our time there.
Next, we went to Pastors Finny and Eunice’s, our Apostles of God With Us India. We were overjoyed to see an answered prayer upon our arrival. On his last visit to India Pastor Mike and Pastor Todd had prayed for the Lord to provide Pastors Finny and Eunice with a house of their own. That is an unheard-of possibility for Pastors in India, but one of the incredible by-products of Covid has been the opportunity for the government to help low-income individuals be able to own property and build a house on it. This is done through low interest home loans to low-income families.
The first part of this miracle was for an individual in Pastor Finny’s church who came to ask for prayer to sell some property that was next to the church. All the lots were sold except the one right next to the church. People didn’t want to buy it because it was next to the church. So, the individual selling the land, deeded the property to Pastor Finny and Eunice for their own use.
A banker in their town was stricken with Covid and Pastor Finny prayed for him and the Lord healed that banker. He, the banker, told Pastor Finny about the government helping low-income people build homes. Pastor Finny said he had no down payment but, the banker said, “no problem, the government had grants for that.” So, Pastor Finny filled out the paperwork and the bank approved his application for a loan. They have built a beautiful home with a second-floor apartment to host teams who come for ministry. Their house payment is $61.00 US. That my friends is a miracle!
This was the first of many miracles we were to see on this trip. I will try to recap our trip as briefly as possible.
Our first outreach was to Jaggampeta where Pastor Surrendra Kumar has a ministry, known as His Ministries. We help with a sewing school there. Each year they hold two Sewing Schools a year.
They run for five months each and many Muslims and Hindu ladies take the class. Not only do they learn a trade but, they also come to Christ. At graduation they are awarded a sewing machine and some material to start their business. We help with this part of the ministry by helping to purchase sewing machines for the graduates. Each machine is $100. We invite you to partner with us in this endeavor.
At Pastor Surrendra’s ministry we ministered to the current school of students. We had many come to Christ and saw some incredible healings. Two women were healed from breast issues, one had a mass that disappeared, and mothers who could not produce milk for their babies were healed. These testimonies came while we were still in India.
After that meeting, we had a Pastor’s conference. The pastors were touched and encouraged by the Word that was spoken. We prayed for these pastors and several received healing. One pastor could not sleep without the aid of medication for 4 years but, he testified a few days later that he had not had to take medication for 3 days and was sleeping peacefully once again.
That evening we did a crusade in this little town and had over 700 people come out to hear the Word of God. We had over 50 come to Christ and many were baptized in Holy Spirit. We prayed for many who were demon possessed and the Lord delivered them all!
This is how our meetings started and this was the standard for all the meetings that followed. Every service saw many saved and baptized in Holy Spirit (we estimated at least 40-70 in every open-air meeting). Many demon-possessed were set free.
We also saw many salvations, baptisms in Holy Spirit, and healings in the churches we ministered in. So many that I can’t take the time to share them all.
Pastor Mike told our team that this trip had more fruit in healings and deliverances than he had ever seen in any previous trips to India.
Thank you so much for praying for us and helping us with finances, you will receive a blessing from the Lord for your involvement.
As this letter is being typed we are sitting here in our house with Pastor Finny who has come for the Word Conf. at WHCC. He is reminding us of all that the Lord is doing in India. From January of last year GWUI has planted 10 new churches. Crusades are happening as much as twice a month in new areas. God is moving in India.
Pastor Mike is preparing to leave for Costa Rica on March 17. It will be his fourth trip there. He is traveling as a guest with Pastor Dan Tamburo and a team of other seasoned ministers.
In April he will be traveling to Mexico for the first time with a team from White Horse Christian Center.
And in May he and his daughter Rachel will be leading a team to Uganda to hold crusades.
As you know, we need your prayers for the success of these trips. Pray for hearts to receive the Good News of Jesus Christ. Pray for Holy Spirit power to confirm the Word with signs and wonders, so the people will be convinced of Gods great mercy.
