Indonesia May 2005

 

        I want to give God the glory for all that He did in our recent trip to Kalimantan , Indonesia . Thankyou for those who prayed and/or fasted. Prayer releases God’s power.

The greatest miracle of all was to see hundreds of people giving their lives to Jesus Christ. The preaching of the Gospel was accompanied by wonderful miracles.

  The Holy Spirit was also calling people to preach the Gospel and testify of Jesus. Many of those who responded to the call were baptized in the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues. In some of the meetings the Lord miraculously called people forward by their name.

 

Jesus heals dying man & saves his family!

On the first night I was asked to go to visit a sick man, Angkas. He is the cousin of our translator. I went into his bedroom where he lay in bed on oxygen. His heart was functioning at 15% capacity. The doctors had operated unsuccessfully on his heart. Angkas was sent home to die. His family were gathered around him in grief. I told his family that they looked like they were at a funeral, but it is easy to be healed.

 

 

     Angkas told me how he believed that Jesus Christ would heal him. He said that he could see Jesus standing before him. I asked him to stand, take off the oxygen, and walk in the Name of Jesus. The family parted as he walked from his bedroom, and then began to do exercises! Almost everyone in the room gave their lives to Jesus when they saw the miracle. See how happy his family is in the photo. Angkas continues to strengthen. He is pictured here in the yellow shirt with his hand raised high. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

 

Hundreds give their lives to Jesus

In the public hall of a logging town called Tambu Manggu, the crowd lifted their hands to receive Jesus Christ. One woman came forward and told how she saw heavenly light. Surely we had an open heaven. Praise God!

 

The next morning a woman testified how she was healed of breast cancer. Praise God!

 

Jesus calls for Gospel workers

In Palangkaraya (left), the Holy Spirit miraculously called a young man by name, John, to preach the Gospel. John told me that he had always wanted to preach the Gospel. The Holy Spirit came upon him in power. In the same meeting the Lord called forward others by their first names to work in His vineyard. Jesus said that the Shepherd calls us by name.

 

 

Many young people responded to the call to preach the Gospel and experienced the wonderful power of the Holy Spirit. Truly the baptism in the Holy Spirit is given that we might be His witnesses, and tell others of Jesus. The Holy Spirit not only comes to renew us, but to empower us to be His witnesses.

 

 

Healings and deliverance

In numerous meetings people had visions of Jesus. In one meeting there were some 1000 people present. A newly converted muslim boy came forward. He said that he saw Jesus moving amongst the people. In another meeting a woman said she saw Jesus greeting all the people.

 

In the Presence of Jesus there is healing.

Some of the healing testimonies include: a man with a long term heart/chest condition healed; a woman whose flesh was rotting from cancer experienced healing power flowing through her; a man with abdominal problem healed; a woman with a swollen throat instantly healed as a spirit leaves her; a man who had suffered pain in his leg for 1 year is instantly healed; a young woman who had no strength in her hand gives me a strong handshake; a man with long-term leg pain begins to stomp the ground without pain; a woman is instantly healed of long term back & leg pain, and a young woman screams as the Holy Spirit drives a demon from her.

TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY.

6000 pray in football stadium

Last year I said to a friend that we should have a prayer meeting in the football stadium of Palangkaraya, Kalimantan . I believed it was from the Lord. So this visit I was amazed to attend the Transformation prayer convention in the football stadium with around 6000 others. (Left) the Governor and mayor of Palangkaraya opened the event. It was awesome to be with thousands of people praying and believing for revival in Indonesia and Kalimantan .

 

Thankyou for praying. Praise God for His mighty works!    Bless you, Mark & Helen.
