This morning at church I talked about God’s love, the Holy Spirit and hearing God’s Voice! Most people seemed pretty grateful for this and a woman from an International Aid organization came up immediately afterward in tears and asked for the baptism in the Holy Spirit right there! Others want to know more and we are meeting with a group Wednesday evening! This is a little challenging because basically the Baptists here feel like the Holy Spirit belongs to another denomination they don’t agree with… I am continuing to ask for God’s breakthrough- there is such great need here!
Wonderful things are going on everyday - but, there always seems to be some kind of spiritual battle at the same time… I am Soo grateful for all the prayers and the earnest intercession!! I know that I am totally inadequate without it!
10 minutes from the church, on our way home, our new translator, Igor, ran into the back of another car, which hit another car. We hit pretty hard! I was thrown into our hostess’ lap who was in the back seat with me. Everybody is Ok, my neck got twisted a little bit but it is Ok.
Nobody would move their cars, the police came and went, and they are still arguing an hour and a half later…. It seems like we are really covered for the important stuff, but the devil still tries to sneak his bony fingers in wherever he can!
I speak again tonight at an event with believers, non- believers, children, parents, and grandparents! I am hoping that the Lord has a good plan for this time, I love these people!
I’ll write more later but just thought I would fill you in while I was sitting here. I hope that it is a blessed morning at church!
I also pray there is no repercussions from the accident. Physically and financially. My first thought whenever I am praying for you and this ministry is a word I had from the Lord when we first began: “I’m not sending him to prove I can keep him safe. I am sending him to follow Me and do the work I have given him”.
What that meant is that the Lord wanted us to think first about why He would send you or us anywhere. Not that it’s wrong to pray for safety, but it’s not the first thing. So I pray, for the first thing, that God will accomplish all that He wants in every place that he sends you and every day that he gives you there ! May his name be glorified! And then I pray for the perfect protection that only He can give. In His matchless name!

Your message full of holy spirit must evident because asking to fill with holy Spirit. Powerful in the midst of the darkness there. I do pray that neck is ok and does hinder your ministry. Love you Jerry. 🙏
I feel bad for Igor. I don’t like to talk when I’m driving because it distracts me from driving with focus. And I’m guessing that he feels terrible. So I’m praying for him. I hope he is ok in all ways.
Thankful you and the others are okay. Praying for a full recovery and that you don’t miss a beat as you continue forward!!
