Dear Poured Out Followers of Messiah Jesus,

As trouble is increasing all around us and dark days seem to be ahead of us—I have some good news: King Jesus sits high above all these troubles and He has all authority in heaven and on earth! Also, He is opening very special doors to reach the nations of this world with His gospel and powerful discipleship—I am going to share some of these poured out 2023 spring/summer opportunities. But first, here are a couple Bible passages confirming what you just read:

“And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying,
“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.” Matthew 28:18

…. “which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that
which is to come.” Ephesians 1:20-21

“And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15

Spring Into Action!

Kinshasa, Western DRC Africa

In late May it is time to go back to Africa!!! Our Savior Jesus has opened a special door of opportunity for me to return to the Western DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo). The capitol city is Kinshasa with a population of about 12 million precious souls. My very godly brother in Christ translator is named “Winner” and I am working through him with two powerful pastors James and Richard.

The last time I served with them we saw hundreds come to faith in Messiah Jesus—along with a very special discipleship program in their churches and with many pastors in conferences. Folks, don’t get too bogged down with the difficulties surrounding us—pray—keep your eyes open—live holy/set apart lives for King Jesus—and prayerfully/financially support the gospel going to the nations—be poured out! Our dates will be in late May and I will share more details about this special Kingdom outreach in the May letter.

Rwanda, Africa / Bukavu Eastern DRC, Africa

As some who have been following our ministry know—I have been going to Rwanda since 2008. Bukavu, DRC is in Eastern Congo and borders part of where I preach in Rwanda. I have also been going there since 2008. Both countries have been involved in the same ethnic violence and between them both over 6 million have been killed there since 1994. The violence is still simmering—mostly in Eastern DRC.

Recently, as the Lord would have it, I was visiting Israel and staying at a bed and breakfast owned by Gila Garaway who has been a guest on my television program Watch Therefore. She speaks English, Hebrew, and Swahili and has also been ministering in Rwanda and DRC. When I was visiting Israel three pastors of Bukavu, DRC were also staying at her B&B in Israel! We all agreed this must be the hand of the Lord and prayerfully we are making special gospel plans!

Our Rwanda Watch Therefore missions team is prayerfully planning a special Kingdom missions outreach in August. Also prayerfully, we are beginning to plan for Bukavu, DRC on this same trip. These precious Bukavu, DRC pastors are over some of the most influential and important churches in this very troubled region.

Dear ones reading this letter. In these troubled times—now is the time to reach some of the last precious souls before our Savior comes for us to take us back to that place He has been preparing for us! As trouble and chaos is sweeping the globe, we can know from the Bible that the seven-year tribulation, when billions will perish, is upon the end of this age generation.

Please prayerfully consider joining us in both prayer and finances for these urgent Spring and Summer outreaches. Also, please remember our ongoing commitments for our Watch Therefore TV program and the many pastors we support in both Africa and India. No need to be troubled and anxious—we have a King that is coming! So, now more than ever let’s reach precious souls with the gospel and go and make disciples of Messiah Jesus!

“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” John 14:1-2

Dear Poured Out Followers of Messiah Jesus,

So much to share about the Holy Spirit’s powerful work of grace all around us!

In this letter I am sharing about this special church our Heavenly Father is helping us plant in Pearland, TX in Christ Jesus. I would also like to share a few things on my heart from God’s word that will be airing on my Watch Therefore television program all over America and the world! And one more thing—I have news about my book Watch Therefore and Be Ready Today.

Calvary Chapel Watch Therefore Community Fellowship

Though I had already planted a Calvary Chapel back in 2013 and pastored there before moving to Israel—Calvary Chapel’s Texas/Oklahoma Association required me to go through an abbreviated approval process to be a pastor again with Calvary Chapel. These days you cannot be too careful to make sure someone is still walking in right Bible doctrine before laying hands on them.

According to Pastor Ron Hindt, one of the leading Pastors in the CC Association, I was able to start our church a couple months ago during the approval process. On March 4 during their big TX/OK conference entitled “PRESS ON” they laid hands on the pastors of 3 new Calvary Chapel church plants including me as the pastor of Calvary Chapel Watch Therefore Community Fellowship and the Lord is moving in our midst by His Spirit!

Thanks once again, for all who are praying for and supporting our new little church plant—the Holy Spirit is certainly with us—Hallelujah!

You can join us for LIVE streaming Sunday mornings 10:30 CST via: FACEBOOK Calvary Chapel WT

Watch Therefore TV Upcoming Teachings:

Lord willing, in the month of March I will be completing my teaching on the book of James. It will finish with a BANG as we look at the last of the last days in James 5 along with the glorious Holy Spirit power available to us in this prophetically charged moment of time!

Then we will begin a series in the book of Joel. Truly, the Day of the LORD is at hand and this powerful Prophet Joel will help us to Watch Therefore and Be Ready!

Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you! Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days. James 5:1-3
“Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” James 5:16

You can see these teachings on my program Watch Therefore on Saturday Evenings 10PM EST on CTN (Christian Television Network) - Direct TV Ch. 376 / Dish Network Ch. 262

“Blow the trumpet in Zion, And sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; For the day of the Lord is coming, For it is at hand…” Joel 2:1

Watch Therefore And Be Ready Today!

As I have mentioned before, my book Watch Therefore And Be Ready, which really is a flagship book of our ministry, has been updated. We have added the word “Today” to the title, which I believe reflects the added necessary urgency for this hour. Truly, we need to be living for King Jesus today like never before—watching and ready for His any moment return for us in the Rapture.

The television network TBN has picked up my book and their publishing wing Trilogy has done a great work with updating edits and I have also updated content as well. TBN Inspire Network will promote the book via television and social media. Thankfully, the Lord has raised up a huge platform on which to proclaim WATCH THEREFORE AND BE READY TODAY!

“Watch Therefore and Be Ready Today will help you know exactly what our Lord Jesus is doing through theses prophetic times and exactly how He wants you to respond to Him!”

“The Lord calls His disciples to victory and this book teaches us very specific and heavenly guaranteed steps to live victoriously in this hour leading up to His return for His people.”

Please do remember in prayer our brothers and sisters who are Watch Therefore/Poured Out partners serving Messiah Jesus whom we support prayerfully and financially monthly. They are serving in many countries in Africa and also across India. They are ministering in very difficult regions and circumstances—and so very worthy of our prayers and financial support.

Dear Poured Out Followers of Messiah Jesus,

Please look at this Psalm with me:

Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust. Psalm 16:1

I begin this letter with praise and thanks to our Savior Jesus who has fulfilled this prayer of King David in my own life! Recently, I was sitting in my car at the intersection in the picture below from the Houston Chronicle. The reason for the picture is that a tornado dropped in during a fierce thunderstorm at this intersection. It then wreaked havoc for nineteen miles causing great destruction.

I was sitting in my car at that intersection when the tornado touched down! As debris from broken traffic lights and signs and Lord knows what else began to pummel my car—I was afraid that my car would be tossed through the air. I cried out to the Lord with my wife on the phone and He did just what David asked in this Psalm! My car incurred thousands of dollars of damage—but I walked away from the trouble completely unharmed. Praise King Jesus who preserved me and in whom I put my trust!

“Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” Matthew 24:42-44

Calvary Chapel Watch Therefore Community Fellowship (WTCF)

It is official now—we have planted our first Watch Therefore Church here in Pearland, TX. We have two church meetings weekly on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings. I am teaching line upon line and verse by verse through books of the Bible. We have just completed the Book of James and will begin a new series on Sundays. On Wednesdays we are currently in the Psalms. You can learn more on our website: CalvaryChapelWTCF.com

Burundi & DR Congo Watch Therefore Conferences

And, Hallelujah once again for our pastor/church ZOOM conferences recently held in the countries of DR Congo and Burundi. At the conference in the Congo not only were there pastors—but also many church members.

At the end of the conference—I shared the gospel of Messiah Jesus and four precious souls came forward to receive Him as Lord and Savior!

You see, the Watch Therefore message truly does stir the lukewarm to repent and the lost to be saved—Hallelujah!!!

Watch Therefore Booklets

We also have our new Watch Therefore booklets available for those who request them. They are great to share with other believers or those who need to be saved. With a gift of any amount to our ministry Watch Therefore or Poured Out For The Nations just write “Booklet” in the check memo/note section or online comment section and we will send five booklets to you.

Watch Therefore TV

The Watch Therefore TV program is humming along reaching out to 200 countries and 200,000,000 (two hundred million) homes! We get nice emails, phone calls, and texts regularly reminding us of how much this program does make a difference in the lives of precious souls in this very challenging generation.

Rwanda Watch Therefore Team

Our Watch Therefore team with Pastor Herman (left) in Rwanda, Africa is criss-crossing their country teaching and warning in the churches of the coming of Messiah Jesus—(Below: Rwanda Church gathering)

Oh Hallelujah! Precious souls are being saved weekly and many are preparing for the Rapture like never before!
