My Wife’s New from Home & Goma

I asked her to write an email, because I can’t accurately remember all the news she tells me by phone. So she wrote with some English help. My comments are in blue below:

hi my Dear it’s a long time

The reason of this message is to give the report of Congo, Gisenyi and Ruhengeri. I thanks so much cause Parfait had thought the leaders of Congo had known so much the vision of new wave. I make a conversation with the leaders but what i had seen is that they didn’t know English to help them understand our vision (using the House2House video or audios or the books I left). I took 4 leaders in order to teach them English. i take Benjamin who knows english in order to teach others. it’s him only who will benefit the many. each leader will pay 5$/month the total will be 20 dollars. in Gisenyi (across the border from Goma, DRCongo, in Rwanda) they have a lot of christians but they have no place for meeting in prayer becouse JANO SAFARI hasn’t any house and has 300 christians and Maman (Mama) ANNY (the mature prophetic intercessor) has 300 christians and she has 7 who want to be baptized and they want you to came to Baptize them. the christians come in maman Anny’s house From 5:00 in the morning to 2:00am in the night and she told me that we must search for her a place for meeting prayer because her spouse has left her and her children if it’s possible. She is very sad she has no power to go to evangelize out side because she is old mama to go from house to house is difficult for her. Ruhengeri (our home) is going very well. the christians come to search for me. not me to search for them. When i’m not at home they come and pray (meet) in my absence. there are now 4 leaders and 4 house churches and 32 christians. 5 christians which want Baptism. You may know that in September you will have much work. I thanks so much God because i meet with Fabrice to help me make this report couse he knows English, computer and Internet, and he is a Christian. he is a 7^th Day Adventist, but he has no parents. his email address is mf46951@gmail.com his phone number is 250 0878 1925. i think you will contact him ok bye

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! AND I NEED YOU! I WANT TO BE WITH YOU! I NEED TO HAVE BABIES ??…..

As you can see, we have a wonderful marriage. We spent a long time on the phone this Sunday morning, because she was so love-sick, that I just had to be patient, until she felt better. I eventually got her distracted by asking questions about the reference form she sent to me for my application to the MorningStar Fellowship of Ministries. To tell the truth, I may not use it because she didn’t understand the questions enough to show she really knows me & it is so much work for her to fill out English forms in English & to scan them to email.

In the letter above, Safari is the prophetic apostle & church planter, Anny is the prophetic intercessor, known in much of Rwanda that we met with shortly before I left Africa. Like my wife, but more mature, they are very gifted and attract spiritually hungry people wherever they are. The people are so hungry you can’t keep them away from large gatherings.

We have scores or maybe hundreds of converts every month in all the countries where we work, but no money for meeting places, even homes sometimes, & not enough money to give adequate in person training, which is the best, or to print & distribute good teaching material. I borrowed $300 or so of my personal money from selling 11 walnut trees (I had $900 left after other pressing personal needs) to send Parfait & my wife to teach in Congo and more loans to buy two bargain DVD players for playing the Jesus video to the lost & shipping the speakers I found in my house to David Saku to use with the DVD projector to reach large groups in mini-crusades in Tanzania. Altogether we have about 100 converts with just two Jesus Video players in the last month & a week of rented speakers supplied by loans from me to the ministry account. I’ll be happy when I can live on 10% of my income, but right now I pay support for my wife & all my personal travel expenses from my US business income, and I repay my now ended child-support to my friend from my personal account, so we really need donations, so I can meet my ethical & legal commitments while increasing our outreach in Africa. If we had perhaps about $800-1,000/mo in donations I’m sure we would have at least multiplied 10 times per year in Africa, but as you can see, even the $67-$80 DVD players with our $2 Jesus Videos are giving us substantial increase and encouragement to our existing house church members.

Since I’m not so busy with business as I’d like to be, I’ve started inviting people for dinner every Friday night, which is really like a 2^nd house church in my home, but I actually spend less on food, because I cook cheap food like dry beans (in a 12 qt pressure cooker) & rice & my home-made bread that I grind from bulk wheat-berries, so I freeze & thaw my favorite meals, instead of eating cheese sandwiches or hamburgers on my home-made bread.

After this letter I’ll work on setting up internet advertising for my business here which should hopefully increase my business, since people don’t read the news-paper any more. Even $20-50 donations make a lot of difference, as it just cost $24 RT for Parfait to come visit us & $35 for his visa, which I think will have greater impact on the whole ministry more than we know. He is a great teacher, & evangelist & a good connection with our amazingly successful Burundi leader Bienvenu. Our two biggest challenges are communication and transportation, which both cost money that Africans cannot easily afford. I think about 3-5% of our leaders in Burundi can afford to have a phone. Fortunately with the East African Passport/visa, my wife won’t have to pay visa expenses to Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi & doesn’t pay to DRCongo, or Rwanda, because she has dual citizenship and our other leaders in those four countries plus Rwanda, won’t pay Visas except to DRCongo for non-Rwandese. Eventually I can get the same benefit as a Rwandan citizen.

I do have an idea that can bring some great benefits to some of you or your friends and to me for installation. 20 minutes from my home two men with over 30 yrs. ea. experience in pellet burning furnaces have developed the Personal Power Plant that will heat your house, water, generate electricity more than you need, and in the future do Air-Conditioning and even produce hydrogen for hydrogen powered vehicles, all from cheap non-polluting organic materials, like grass clippings, sawdust, junk mail, etc. These guys are really sound Christians and say they are abundantly kingdom minded.

They have a high quality, but not cheap, product, but since natural gas is scheduled to nearly double this fall in much of the country & locally electricity is scheduled to rise by 29%, it would be worth borrowing to install this product. I could install one for approximately $12-15,000 anywhere in this country as I’ve already learned to install heating & cooling stuff by checking my tools in my luggage and installing from a rental car. You can look at this product a little at www.powerplantworld.net. I’ll bring some literature about it with me to the House2House conference. It seems my Ugandan friend, Martin could be a key hub manager as they grow rapidly in our hungry for non-polluting, inexpensive power market in every part of the world. I can also sell some great books, like all the MorningStar books, “Sugar Blues”, and the new great book, “The God Empowered Wife” which I’ve gotten at whole-sale prices. All the books are between $10-15 from me. These are great books that I buy in quantity for price & to give to those who can’t afford them.

My Health & Memory Discipline

Today, the 3^rd time I’ve run 3 miles without counting my sprinting paces, my total time actually improved though I’m more focused on memorizing Revelations than on my running & I sprint slower, but seem to jog in-between faster. I did that because I can’t memorize well when I’m counting, so a memorized land-marks to run my 1,000 yd sprints. I’m making much more progress in memorizing and got my time down to 26 min, 10 seconds! I don’t know if I’ll ever hit my 23 minute record, but it’s good to have a goal. I’ve made it through the first 3 letters to the churches, although I had the first 4-5 chapters done a couple years ago. Revelations is hard to understand, but most people can understand the letters to the churches & experience, “Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy & keep the things that are written in it…!” Rev 1:3.

My MorningStar Trip

When I sent my last newletter I was visiting MorningStar Ministries at the Heritage Int. Ministry close to Charlotte, NC. I feel I was correct that God was leading me there at that time. I only had one service call in that week & it was one that I could tell my Ugandan friend, Martin how to do over the phone, so I actually earned money by helping him as I sat in a soft chair waiting for the evening meetings & it was valuable for him to learn by experience how to do Air-Conditioning work. We have recently done two jobs and two service calls together for training, fellowship & time-saving for me. He’s a very fast worker, so we finished one AC job in only about 3.5 hrs but I had to stay later, because there was a small leak.

I had two appointments with leaders, talked briefly with Rick Joyner & Robin (1 of the 4 senior leaders) and really had some divine connections with others just by running into them at the ministry center. From my conversations it was prophesied to me that God had not given me the connections with MorningStar when I sought them in 05, because he didn’t want me to be distracted from what He had called me to do. That came from the IT director, who also started a ministry in Africa. But God has a time for everything & the former director of the MStar Fellowship of Ministries told me, “Don’t take no for an answer, apply again!” Then as he drove by on the golf cart he shouted, “Apply again!” He also told me to write his name on the application which is almost finished.

From talking to Rick Joyner, he knows that we are requesting a team to come, at their expense, to do a conference in Rwanda, near Goma, DRCongo. He told me he would see our request which was completed just a few days after I met him. I think it’s likely this time I’ll be accepted in the Fellowship of Ministries, but if not I will just know that God is keeping me focused on the work He gave me.

Maybe the most fun, for me, beside the great fellowship I had with two ordinary people in particular, was the challenge of accomplishing what most people don’t. On the whole 7 day trip, I only spent $3.79 on carrots and only ate two out of a 5 lb bag! I did buy some cheese before I left town, but I brought back 4 out of 6 lbs & even came back with left-overs from the two frozen meals I took & kept cold in my 12V refrigerator that I also bought the day I left. On top of that I managed to sleep outside comfortably every night and got a free shower every day but the first. I cooked my meals on a camp-stove I already had & fortunately remembered everything I needed to even wash my dishes. I forgot my soap & towel, but the first night at a truck stop the man met my request to save the $10 shower fee, by walking to me & giving me a pass he had saved & telling me to go around the counter & give it back to him! That shower had every thing I needed. After that I took showers in the Heritage Ministry Hotel rooms converted to public restrooms. They had soap & paper towels & my hair is too short to need conditioner so far. I even cooked a meal for a man I met & had great fellowship with for several hours two days. I spent most of my time fellowshipping with a little ministry & business business, which is what I love to do, except for teaching, anyway. I found a nearby rest-stop where I confess I hid behind a maintenance building to sleep on the ground, but I sure saved a lot of money, that I sure need now! I really don’t expect my wife to do that, but for now I’m saving money for my honey.

It worked out that I got an appointment to see the new director of MorningStar Fellowship of Ministries the day before I have to be in Asheville, 2 hrs away, related to custody of my youngest daughter. So my next trip I think is the House2House conference, then Sep 2-4 in NC, & shortly after onto Rwanda to join my wife in her love-sickness & ministry in Africa. Please pray, because I just barely have enough $ now to pay Grace last week, but my gas tank is ¾ full and my motor-assisted trike is working well at

100 mpg. I’ll need the money for my NC trip & Rwanda.

Three New Waves:

Ø Passionate Love————–From & for Jesus

Ø Never-Ending Humility—To follow the King

Ø Total Sacrifice ————–Living out His Love & Humility

I’m really blessed. I don’t have many needs. When I watch the web streams from MorningStar Ministries showing the amazing healings that have been taking place for the last few months, I think, I don’t need any healing of significance. There is nothing that hurts regularly & nothing that doesn’t work like it should, except I’ve been near-sighted for 80+% of my life. I even have a good head of hair & all my teeth, though a little less hair than when I was younger.

But we all need prayer for many things & we all have some big hindrance to our deepest desires. My desire to make many disciples is not hindered by lack of workers, or lack of interest in 3^rd world countries, or lack of a plan that is proven to work very effectively. But it’s hard to train willing workers when they can’t afford phones or email or travel expenses to come & be taught. & it’s hard to teach them when I can’t afford to leave my business that supports all of us.

But it’s through much tribulation that we enter the kingdom & for the silver refiner to see His reflection it must be heated 7 times. I do have really effective methods of earning money on two continents. But in Africa selling electronics requires capital to have things to sell, & in the USA my heating & cooling business works best when I am here, away from doing the desire of my heart which is to train leaders the way that Jesus did.

We have notebook computer customers chomping at the bit, in Tanzania, where there is no customs on any computer products, but so far I haven’t had the funds to send anything lately except the self-amplified speakers I found in my house which we’ll use for the Jesus Video with the projector we bought with donations back when we were getting more.

I have gotten three large donations which were invested mostly in Burundi business & ministry, which helped us a great deal to grow to over 1,000 house churches from about 100 in one year, but that economy has crashed along with all our businesses, even though we got two-four times back all that we invested.

So, I need prayer for money. Really I can earn more in a day than I’ve ever gotten in a donation, except from my Dad who gave us $4,000 a long time ago to buy a bus for hire. So pray for my HVAC business to sell more jobs, so I can invest in our profitable electronics sales in Africa.

The important things have always gotten done & I’m really happy that I just finished a big job that will pay more than my RT ticket Sep 10-Oct 15. But please pray for my business income, because our needs are much greater than most of you will decide to give, although I do use donations for fruitful ministry expenses, like the Jesus Video, & travel expenses for my African partners who are effective teachers. But I use my business income for my own travel & to invest in ministry-supporting business in Africa.

& pray for my wife & wisdom for me, because she has been so love-sick that she spent the last three out of four days in the hospital & the doctors said she is just love-sick. & pray that hindrances to her Visa will be taken away, so I can have her partnership for fruitful ministry & be able to stay here longer when needed to earn money instead of me spending the money to travel to prevent her from dying of love-sickness.

There are, of course, benefits, to being apart, like we don’t take each other for granted, & I have more time for getting lots of things done. But I think my need for a partner outweighs the benefits, since I sleep less than my wife & can still keep my morning disciplines of memorizing scripture while I run & watching web-streams while I exercise inside.

I am thankful that God has helped me peacefully keep working at my goals &, after thinking, I think my greatest recent accomplishments on this “visit” to the USA other than earning money, have been that I have rememorized the first three chapters of revelations & have finished the 7^th letter to the churches yesterday while I matched my record time this last year running 3 miles in 26 minutes 10-11 seconds & finished all the MorningStar applications (hopefully approved for future benefit). I also supervised some more home improvement (only 2 hrs), did a service call ($188) & did two bids, resulting in one small furnace install to do yesterday in only 4-5 hrs, I think.

So pray for my business & me to be a wise husband, & big or small donations would help, too. In Uganda we lack the $50/mo for August to feed about 80 orphans one day per week as we planned, so they are not getting that one meal per week that they got in June & July. I’ve already loaned $500 of my personal money to the ministry account, but naturally I need to support my wife & try to save up money to at least get the right to see my youngest daughter that was lost when her stepfather claimed I was severely mentally ill, with no truthful testimony.

But I did succeed at getting her brother’s email address &, my daughter, Mercy enjoyed the photos I sent to her, & will enjoy the movie DVDs I’m having Grace make & send to her, like “The Sound of Music”, “Ben Hur”, “The 10 Commandments” & “Princess Bride”. We do have a good relationship by phone.

Thanks for you interest, prayers, & help!
