Much love from Malaysia

 God allowed us to finish the mission in Thailand. We ask you to continue to pray for the seeds of faith that were sown there. May many believers water those seeds with His Word, love, and hope. Specifically in Bangkok and the city of Pattaya (the largest prostitution area in the world), where many people are enslaved to sin and sadness.

We send much love and many blessings from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Thanks to our wonderful God and your love, prayers, and support, Malaysia is the first Muslim country where we have ever done mission work. Though Malaysia has freedom of religion. God called us to come here during Ramadan, the Islamic holy month. 

God showed us to go to Batu Caves and the National Mosque. The Holy Spirit was guiding us to the National Mosque. It is open to visitors and they must dress in appropriate attire. The Father gave us favor and we were invited to come inside of the praying hall of the Mosque where we prayed and had a conversation about Jesus. We were honest about our lives. And at the end the Father allowed us to pray together in the Mosque, praise God.

We noticed the big respect that they have for other believers here. In fact, here there are three different predominant religions Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism and  all they seem to live in a permanent peace,  interacting with one another and in friendships across religious borders. The people have been very, very friendly  and respectful, most of them speak English very well. We highly recommend to you to pray to come and share the love and the forgiveness of the Father here in Malaysia. 

As well the Father guided us to Batu Caves, the main Hinduism pilgrimage site for the Malaysian and Hinduism community, where nearly 1 million people come to worship during the month of January. In a vision, the Father encouraged us to bring the size of a mustard and pray for the mountain there since the Bible says that they will be then thrown into the sea. The importance of the obstacles (like those mountains) being under the sea is that it allows us to see the light, in the high places, where the Father lives on the top of our hearts and minds,

The Father allowed us to pray for a young guy and we ask your prayers for this seed over his life, his name is Shatishnayar. Please pray also for Wan the official guide and a leader of the National Mosque, and for more divine appointments here in Kuala Lumpur and wherever the Spirit shows us. Also please pray for two possibilities to visit the children of refugees and orphans here.  

Blessings from Bangkok

Thanks to your support and prayers, God allowed us to safely leave Shanghai, China to Hong Kong, where we stayed for a few days before continuing on to Bangkok. 

The Lord has put Thailand on our hearts, especially for His lost children and women in prostitution. Thailand ranks very high on international lists (in some lists it is at the very top) as a sexual tourist destination, even for child prostitutes. Jesus was very clear about how God loves prostitutes, not only with His words but with His love for Mary Magdalene, a love that transformed her and freed her from sin and evil. God has put Jesus´s love in us to help people like Mary Magdalene here. He opened a door for us to visit and pray at a ministry that works directly in the Red Light district of Bangkok, giving counseling, bible studies, and job opportunties to women who want to change their lives and allow God´s love to tranform them.

Children on the streets of Bangkok

God has also allowed us to share the Gospel and the love of Christ on the streets of Bangkok and with fellow believers at a local church. The Lord has allowed us to share with a Buddhist monk, children on the street, a few young women in the Red Light district, and many more. He has also encouraged us to encourage our brothers and sisters in  Christ here from India, Uganda, Nigeria, the Philippines, and other countries as well. Please pray for one person in particular, our sister, Faith Grace who is from Uganda and has decided to be a missionary here in Thailand. She is a teacher and has eight children.

Please pray for the seeds of faith that have been sown here to grow and multiply, and for those who have been encouraged to continue to experience the Lord´s love and power in their lives. 

We are so thankful that you are part of this mission and we pray that God continues to bless you with His favor, His love, His abundant blessing, and His joy!

Short update from Shanghai, China

Many blessings from Shanghai. We want to let you know about the Father´s business and fruits in Shanghai. 

The Father has been guiding us to the main and largest points in population on Earth, and shown us to pray for blessings of righteousness, joy, and peace around and inside of important buildings there, as well as directly with people.

We were able as well to finally visit and share the love of the Father in an orphanage here in Shanghai. The majority of the children there are abandoned by their parents due to costly medical conditions, like cleft lip, heart problems, hydrocephalus, among others. We were able to play, hold, and pray for many of the precious babies and it is still on our hearts to adopt in the future. We´d love to one day start a foundation as well to rescue children at risk of the nations most affected by violence and calamities.

 

We have continued reaching out to the homeless and people on the streets, offering them the Father´s love, reaching out to touch them and pray for them. Here there are many people in need and their response to the Father´s love is full of kindness, love, and thankfulness.

Thank you so much for your prayers and love. We still have challenges but we delight in serving our Father here, and we are very thankful that you are part of our mission and ministry.

 

We pray that the Father continues placing your light on high, to shine as an example to others. May He continue to comfort you and give you the desires of your hearts.

Blessings from Beijing

Thank you family in Christ for loving your neighbor even the distant ones. The love of the Father is the love that can forgive billon dollar debts, like we as Americans have with China, a country  with people that work hard to provide for us  products, that we use daily. 

Guided by the word of God, we arrived safely in Beijing after our 24 hour train ride from Hong Kong. Thank you so much for your prayers and support that it made it possible to travel and get the visas easily. We felt very welcomed, not under inspection, not even questioned, just welcomed with kindness in Beijing.

We have felt safe here in Beijing, praise the Lord, We have seen a city very open with friendly people. With the elderly and the community that meet in the evenings  in the parks to sing for hours, and respectful young people. In general a happy culture with the most funny tv that we have seen so far. Also the city has a lot of English signs on trains and buses and some westernized food, We highly encourage you all to come to China, if you have not been already, and share the love of the Father. .

Since arriving in Beijing we have been led by the Lord and His Holy Spirit to pray for the 7 mountains here. Beijing is the capital of China, the most populous country in the world, and these mountains stand tall here as examples for the nations. The 7 mountains include the areas of societies that can be impacted by our prayer and the power of Christ. These areas include: government, education, family, media, arts & sports, religion, and business. We have asked the Holy Spirit to guide us each day to pray for these mountains. We have been able so far to pray in the areas of arts & sports, family, church  and government. 

Specifically our hearts were deeply moved by seeing only just one child in every family, as part of China's one child policy. Since arriving we have only seen one family with two children, but we are happy to share with you all that we have seen many little girls and baby girls here in Beijing. We believe that it is in poorer areas where parents are more likely to reject and abandon girls.

.

We were also led by the Holy Spirit to pray for the Chinese Govt. We were even able to share the Father´s love  in Tiananmen square. A group of young women came to take photos with us and we felt led by the Lord to share cards with verses. For the culture here, it is very important the lucky fortune phases, so they were very impacted and see these as very relevant. 

We were able to attend a church meeting open for only for foreigners that we found easily on the internet. The church has many services, and the service was very open with freedom of expression and worship. 

 As well we are recieving daily revelations of where to go and for whom we need to pray for. And dreams of revelation of the Father himself, so the father revealed to us to buy specific presents that impact in a supernatural way showing them that the Father knows the desires of their hearts and the thirst of love in His children.

More over we were able to contact a foster care home for sick children, in a nearby city. We are praying to identify a girl that the Father would allow us to possibly adopt in the future.

We desire to see Christ's love impacting this nation, writing their names with the fire works of China in the Book of Life,. 

We thank you so much for your continued prayers, support, love and sowing in this land that is producing at 30, 60, and,100 %.

Taiwan to Hong Kong to CHINA!

We rejoice in sharing with you that we were able to continue our mission, thanks to the faithfulness of our wonderful Father and your prayers and support. 

We arrived in Hong Kong almost 10 days ago and staying in a village almost 1 hour outside the city with YWAM. We have also been able to pray and encourage many YWAM missionaries during our time here.

We have been able to minister to women in prostitution on the streets of Hong Kong. Two of the women were from India and another was from Nepal. We were able to talk with them and pray with them. One of the women from India shared with us that she had 4 children back in India and had given birth to one of them all by herself, alone in her house. The other woman from Nepal seemed like she really was unhappy, but we continue to pray for her to know God´s peace and love.

We also were able to share the love of Jesus with children of immigrants in one of the YWAM ministries.The children were from Pakistan, India, the Philippines, and various other countries. The ministry has a resource center for the children to study their homework and play and read Bible stories. There are many immigrants and refugees in Hong Kong from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and other parts of the world. Yesterday, God gave us the opportunity to share a message of hope, forgiveness, and love with more immigrants and refugees, many of whom are homeless here. We were also able to worship with them, serve them lunch, and pray for each of them. Praise God! There are some photos attached.

Here in Hong Kong, we have met many Filipino immigrants as well. Many work as domestic works or maids in the more affluent homes. They are some of the friendliest people in all of the city. We have had the honor to pray for a few of them and share our testimony and God´s love! There is a photo of one of these precious Filipinas attached.

Today we plan to go to Macau and visit an orphanage there. Also, today we received wonderful news as well! Thanks to God´s favor and goodness, and your prayers and support, we were able to apply and pay for our Visas to enter China, which we just received! Praise the Lord! Thank you so much for your faithfulness to believe that God is working through our ministry and mission work. 

God has directed us to go to Beijing. It is a 24 hour train ride from Hong Kong, and we do not yet have any contacts there, but we have seen God´s faithfulness and favor and we are believing He has great things planned for Beijing. We hope to leave this Sunday.

Please note that we may not have much internet connection and no Facebook probably in China (after Sunday). We will do our best to communicate, but we ask that you please pray for us during this time. If we openly evangelize in China we could be put in jail or even sent to a work camp. However, we are asking for God´s protection and for creative ways to share Christ in China.

Again, we want to thank you SO much for being part of our ministry and mission work, for praying, supporting, and encouraging us. We pray that you and your family be blessed in Jesus´s name.

Glory of God in Keelung Taiwan

Again we have been so blessed to share the good news that is not shown in most of the media, that sometimes only show wars and hatred. This good news is that God writes daily His heart here in Asia, in the wonderful, respectful, and friendly people of this continent. 

We are so thankful for your continued support, love, and prayers as you follow us and spiritually accompany on this mission of peace, justice and happiness through the example of Jesus. 

This week two women and many children accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior. We have had the joy to serve with an Episcopal church here in Keelung, Taiwan. We did a puppet presentation for about 20 children concerning the prevention of bullying and the importance of prayers. 

The same children, who are from disadvantaged homes in Keelung, also participated in a dreams art therapy workshop to remove the memories of nightmares and pray for more peaceful and joyful dreams. Approximately 30 youth from the church attended our presentation about dreams and visions and how God inspires us to live a life led by Him and blessed by him.

Mission: Taiwan

We are happy to share with you that we have been here in Taipei, Taiwan for one week now. This is another end of the Earth, as we continue on our mission to Jerusalen. 

We have been praying for many people on the streets and we attended a wonderful church with a missionary from Japan. We attached some photos. 

One day here we felt led by the Holy Spirit to go to CKS Memorial, an enormous park with monuments here in  Taipei. In the subway station, we saw a musician who was blind and again we felt led to pray for him. We returned to the station and it was another blind musician. When we asked if we could pray for him, he thought we said ´play´. He thought we wanted him to play something for us, but we explained that we are Christian missionaries and we wanted to pray to God to heal him. He agreed and we prayed right there in the subway station. He said he felt something when we prayed and he saw a little. Praise the Lord! He was so thankful and told us about a Christian concert in the official Taipei concert hall. There is a photo of him attached. 

We continued to another Buddhism store where we shared our faith with the owner and the clerk there, then we went to the Taipei concert hall. They told us that the ticket booths were already closed, but suddenly they said they had extra tickets to give us! Praise God! It was amazing to hear a Taiwanese chorus to sing to our Lord in Chinese and English.

As well we attended an Assembly of God Church in Taipei where we met a Japanese missionary. This church was filled with the Holy Spirit and the joy of the Lord. There is a video attached. Many of those assisting the church are indigenous Taiwanese people who face much discrimination, and some of the women at the church have worked in the red light districts of Taipei.

We have been invited to stay and minister with Hong Kong YWAM. Please pray the Lord provides for this amazing new opportunity. 

We thank you for your prayers, support, and love! May the King of kings continue to bless you abundantly!

Hiroshima Mission, in times of nuclear wars may the Prince of Peace be with you all

We have just come back to Tokyo from Hiroshima where we were for about a week. Hiroshima is a city with so many stories to tell, stories of tragedy, survival, forgiveness, peace, and hope. We had the opportunity to meet many hibakusha (A-bomb survivors) who are now elderly. They shared their stories of survival and horror but with a great peace and forgiveness. We were able to minister at the Mutsumien A-Bomb Nursing Home, this was the first nursing home the Japanese government built for the hibakusha. We sang Happy Birthday in English as a group. We then sang a duet of the Happy Birthday song in Spanish and Portuguese in their celebration of their eightieth and ninetieth birthdays. We learned so much from the hibakusha and the people of Hiroshima about forgiveness, love, and peace. 

We were also able to evangelize to many people on the streets in Hiroshima and we are still amazed at their kindness and forgiveness. They accepted us and  listened to us about the ultra atomic impact of Jesus in our hearts with breakthroughs. There is an open door for brothers and sisters in Christ from America and other nations that want to receive the love from the wonderful and loving Hiroshima people and share the love of Jesus with them. 

We are now saying Mataneh (see you later) to Japan.  It has been a wonderful mission here with so many blessings and we are so very grateful to God and you all for your support, prayers, and love. 

Tomorrow we are going to Taiwan, where we have felt called to for a long time.
