What's Coming Up ~ April Report

Thank you all for your support and prayers. As we have been waiting on the Lord for His timing on our comings and goings He has been speaking to our hearts about our family, in particular Desi’s family. They live in Hungary, and are aging and do not know the Lord except one sister. We have enough air miles to go to Hungary and we were given a surprise gift to cover any other costs. We will be staying with relatives. His brothers are in their seventies and do not know the Lord. There seems to be urgency in the Spirit even concerning Hungary. After we decided we were going to go we found out there are to be elections in April there. The Neo Nazi party seems to be gaining momentum, as that is the direction the young people want to go. Maybe that is why there is such an urgency to go now. We will know that later. Pray for us.

When we return from Hungary we will make our preparations for Africa. We are grateful and appreciate all the funds that have been sent to us to further the work amongst the poor and orphaned in Malawi and Mozambique. As the funds come in for Africa we will then determine exactly what country we will go to first and then make our itinerary as the Lord shows us.

The Lord is also beginning to speak to hearts of people that are interested in coming to Africa and joining us in the future. We are planning to leave in July and stay for several months, doing a lot of ministry, and it also looks like the Lord is going to send people (teams to come and join us). One project that is also under way is the completion of the small hospital in Malawi (15 bed hospital where there is nothing available for the sick). We are looking to God for training the nationals to not only run the hospital as a medical clinic but also a place where the sick and dying will be also ministered to and be healed!

Martha says, but this is for both or us: My heart is still for the poorest of the poor. My deepest desire is still to be there and live out there on a long-term basis and come home once a year. But the Lord is the one who is in control and it is His voice we are to listen to. He is the one who cares more about the poor and needy than even we do. He is the one who knows better where we are to be and when and for how long. But it is still in our hearts for longer-term service. He will show us where and when. In the meantime He leads us to the needs and lives He wants us to touch now. Thank you again. Continue to pray for us. We need your prayers. More than anything else we want to be His hands, His touch, His voice, His eyes to a helpless desperate people who has only one hope and that is Jesus. My desire is that there will be more anointing upon us than ever before so that we will be His instruments of hope and healing. God bless you all.

A wonderful miracle took place, while in Saskatchewan in March, the elders of the one very small church in the Preeceville area of central eastern Saskatchewan, where we have been in fellowship now for the past 10 years: had a surprise meeting on our behalf. When we came back from Mozambique both Martha and I began to fast and pray for God’s direction for 2006, and I told Martha when I come back from Saskatchewan – we will know what the Lord is doing with us. (We also want to thank God’s faithful people for praying for us as Martha noticed my trip to Saskatchewan mentioned in the bulletin back home, in B.C. Thank you!) The elders meeting in Saskatchewan felt urgency in their hearts that the trip to Hungary was a definite YES, and it had to be soon! A Confirmation to us as well! When I contacted the Airlines (Norwest and KLM) for our free flights the end of March, we were left amazed and surprised: The only time we could get a free flight was on Easter Sunday – and nothing else in April was available, and the only time we could get a free flight back in May was on May 9^th – and again nothing else was available during the entire month of May. With Desi’s many relatives in Hungary – please pray for a giant miracle, in the area of Salvations, healings, and deliverances and for his immediate family – household salvation!

In 1968 Desi received a prophecy in which he was seen going to a foreign country – and signs and wonders following. Beginning of 1974 God moved on his heart to intercede not only for his family but the entire nation. After 8 months of intense, one-hour prayer every morning before going to work, God released him to go back and visit his family and homeland, after being away from them for 18 years – living in Canada. Desi escaped Communism at the age of nine (ALONE – with God’s help and direction), and had doubled his age here in Canada while he was away from his family. Not only did his mother and dad become born again but also his oldest sister. Also over the years tens of thousands were swept into God’s kingdom (something that was not made known to Desi until the late 1990s) because of one young man’s obedience to pray when God’s Holy Spirit moved on his heart in 1974! The pastor of the largest church in Hungary (which was meeting in a football stadium outside of Budapest – over 40,000 people) once Communism came down: The pastor of that church was saved in one of the services in Budapest after God directed Evangelist Bud MacLean to go with Desi in June 1975. God is faithful to the prayers of His people, and all of heaven; including the end of the age - are waiting for us, so God can restore all things back into His church and to His Bride! The glory of the last day church will be much more glorious and greater than what the early church experienced! (Haggai 2:6-9, also Psalms 126:1-6!)

In closing, Martha and I need help with our year end books for Feeding The Hungry – Global Ministries – which also has to be done before the end of May. If anyone can help and knows how to do up Government papers, please let us know. And again, A Big Thank You to all our friends and Family of God that have been so instrumental in helping us, and also praying for us!!! What a blessing you all have been!
