“We are rejoicing
to be Poured Out
For The Nations!”

Dear Poured Out Followers Of Messiah Jesus,

In this letter I am giving a missions update. Our great Messiah Jesus told us that we must go therefore and make disciples in all the nations (Matthew 24:18). So, this Poured Out Missions update is a report and snapshot of many things our ministry is supporting and/or doing. Components of our missions work include praying, giving, going and we do all three at different levels and at different times with many different people.

Once again I would like to re-introduce our dear brother Lassina. He is from a people group called the Dogosse (doe go say). There are only 40,000 of them in the world and their religion is Muslim/Animists, meaning they have a veneer or outward profession and tradition of Islam, while they worship their dead ancestors with many tribal and what I call “witchcrafty” ceremonies.

Lassina has a linguistics Master’s Degree and speaks about five languages. He and his team have created a written Dogosse language, translated Bible books into that language, and they teach the Dogosse people how to read this new language by teaching them the Bible books they have translated! What a powerful and important work! Truly they are winning Dogosse Muslims to Messiah Jesus and as they turn from Islam to follow Jesus Christ heaven rejoices! Lassina and the Dogosse are in Burkina Faso, a small country in West Africa in the neighborhood of Mali, Cameroon, and Ivory Coast.

Here is a recent update received from Lassina:
update from Lassina “Dear friends, Receive my greetings in Jesus Christ name. So he told them, “Let your net down on the right side of your boat, and you will catch some fish. They did, and the net was so full of fish that they could not drag it up into the boat (John 21:6).We bless the Lord Jesus that despite the financial crisis, the Dogosse translation team were able to finish the translation work. Today the 4th May, we finished the typesetting in Cameroon and the file will be sent to Korea for New Testament copies printing. We are going back to our country Burkina Faso on the 5th May with the example of the Dogosse New Testament after the typesetting. Praise the Lord Jesus! Thanks a lot for your prayers and continue to pray for our travel, the printing in Korea, and for the heart of Dogosse people as God can transform their life with the Dogosse Scriptures.”

I have been twice to Burkina Faso and worked closely with Lassina. It is an honor and privilege to know and partner with such a special Kingdom person as Lassina. We support him financially through the year and look for much fruit that will remain forever to come from this man’s faithful work!

Texas Trip

Before leaving the USA the Lord gave me one big final assignment, which was the planting of a new congregation of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. So, in July 2014 we planted Calvary Chapel Beth Shalom in Pearland, TX. This congregation is affiliated with the Calvary Chapels around the world and also has the Messianic flavor of teaching the Bible from its original Jewish context.

Calvary Chapel Pearland has a very specific mission statement:
“We exist to make authentic disciples of Jesus Christ according to the Word of God in preparation for the glorious Second Coming of Messiah Jesus!”

I want to ask you who are reading this letter to please pray for this very special church congregation. At the time my family was moving to Israel, the Lord raised up the new pastor, Ray Jensen, and he is such a special man of God. We are a congregation that is truly committed to the unwavering truth in the love of Christ.

It has been since October 2015 that I visited the congregation, and in June when many of you are reading this letter, I will be ministering at CCBS. I will be leading and teaching at two Sunday meetings, two prayer meetings, and a Bible study or two as they meet on Saturday evenings for Bible study. I am coming back to Texas to minister and pray for an anointing of the life of Messiah Jesus to touch the precious ones while I am there.

So, please take a moment and pray for Lassina and my Texas trip as I “go therefore” in obedience to our great Messiah Jesus! Remember, praying, giving, and going. Time is growing short–join in as much as possible while there is a little time.

“We are rejoicing
to be Poured Out
For The Nations!”

Dear Poured Out Followers Of Messiah Jesus,

There is a New Testament Bible passage that is really helping me through a difficult time right now. You see, I have been going to the Congo for about eight years and have really seen our opportunities and ministry flourish there. I have preached in a stadium, many churches, and in the streets there. I have seen the Spirit of the Lord touch the lost and bring thousands to salvation in Messiah Jesus, seen people healed, and much more!

may2016 01 In the Congo we have relationships with pastors, radio stations, and literally hundreds of churches. Yet for the second time in a row I have not received my travel visa as I have prepared to go to the Congo. So, here is a great verse that helps me at this time as Paul was heading to preach and the Holy Spirit forbid him to do so at that time:

Acts 16:6-7 Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia. After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them.

Here we see Paul being forbidden to go and preach in areas he was headed.
Also we know that he had to rest in the fact that the Holy Spirit helps us to follow Messiah may2016 02 Jesus and to glorify our Father in heaven. That is the conclusion I have to rest in at this time and I will tell you-it is very difficult. Having sown so many years into this area and to not be able to go there just when things are seemingly expanding is very difficult for me BUT-Abba Father knows best and I will joyfully rest in Messiah Jesus in this time.

may2016 03 If you read further in the sixteenth chapter of Acts we see that Abba always has something better as we trust Him and walk with Messiah Jesus. So, Paul having cooperated with the Holy Spirit was directed to Macedonia and experienced so much of the power of the resurrection of Messiah Jesus and the fellowship of His sufferings. Paul was very fruitful and experienced miracles, signs, and wonders in Macedonia and planted the Church of Philippi. This was a result of waiting and patiently walking by the Holy Spirit.

Some Good News!
A good friend of mine, Pastor Lewi, who first introduced me to the Congo is working with two hundred orphans and also churches in Uganda. Much of his current work is on a refugee camp there in Uganda. After this Congo situation set in I talked with Lewi who has invited us to come there in August. As I mentioned this to an Israeli believer in Jesus I am discipling here-he became very interested in going to Uganda. Also, we have a mutual friend in Dallas who is prayerfully considering meeting us there in Uganda. So, it would appear that as the Congo is closing, at least for now, the Lord is opening a door for Uganda in August.

may2016 04 In my last letter I asked those who read our letters to pray and believe with me for the Congo trip including the finances needed for it. Though no finances came in designated for the trip, some did give who have not done so recently and it may have been in response to my appeal for the Congo Mission trip. So, those extra funds will be designated for Uganda and I say THANK YOU for those who prayed and gave. Do not worry, those prayers and funds will be spent on the Kingdom of Messiah Jesus–Lord willing in Uganda this summer.
