BACK IN THE NETHERLANDS
It is four thiry am and I have been WIDE AWAKE for the last few hours. I still can not get over all the stuff that happened in my last week in the US. On thursday I got to speak at the student body at southwestern christian university. There I preached on Luke 10 and when I got to verse 9, "Heal the sick and proclaim that the kingdom of God is here," around a dozen students came forward for healing. All of them said that there pain was gone immediately except for one guy. I had some friends with me and we stayed an extra hour after chapel just praying for healing and ministering to students.

On tuesday through thursday in Madill, we had an incredible "School of Prophets". There we also saw a bunch of healings, prophesied, but more importantly so many people at that church now prophesy themselves. This climaxed saturday in a full day of prayer and fasting where the presence of God showed up in a mighty way. The sunday services just continued on from there. Lots of healings and prophetic ministry. Sunday night in a church in OKC, we saw a lot of healings, people giving their lives to Christ, and people being filled with the spirit. What a way to end my time in the states. Now it is 4:30 am and I got Jet Lag. Going to try to go to sleep now. Still, it has been exciting and I do look forward to what God is doing in Holland.

(Pastor Alejandro & Mayra Lopes in a conference in Costa Rica) Yesterday I visited a Hispanic church here in Amsterdam which was celebrating the opening of its brand new temple. Iglesia El Encuentro con Dios was founded 18 years ago by Mayra Lopez, the wife of Alejandro Lopez who is now the senior pastor. Their new church building has cost them more than 2 million euros (3 million dollars). It sits in the middle of a commercial/factory zone, so you don't expect to find a building packed with 400 Latin Americans worshipping God in their native language. It is an unbelievable story. Pastor Alejandro has planted churches in the other major cities of Holland as well as in New York and the Domican Republic (his native land). What I did not expect is that yesterday he called me and two other missionary families to give us awards. One award was to an elderly American missionary who led his wife to Christ 18 years ago. I mentioned to her that she was the spiritual grandmother of so m

Ten more weeks...

Ten more weeks until my due date, November the 9th, and the pregnancy is going great. I had to be tested for pregnancy diabetes, because Judah weighed 10 pounds at birth (which is usually an indicator for diabetes). But yesterday the results from that came in and my blood sugar is normal! Praise God! No sugar free diet….! We are expecting a little girl. We have picked a beautiful name…Hannah Grace. Judah calls her “Hannah Gracie”. Talking about Judah…we just celebrated his birthday on the 17th of August. He loved it! It was the first time he could realize that this was all for him and he is still singing birthday songs. He is just developing so quickly, he learns new words every day and because I speak to him in Dutch, he is picking up Dutch real fast. Here are some pictures!!

T. L. Osborn - A Man Who Made God's Message His Own

Then he said, "Son of man, get all these words that I'm giving you inside you. Listen to them obediently. Make them your own. And now go. Go to the exiles, your people, and speak. Tell them , "This is the message of God, the Master.' Speak your peace, whether they listen or not."  Ezekiel 3:10-11 The Message Bible In order to effectively communicate God's message, we need to first digest them; internalize them, make them our own. When we  have allowed them to enter into the deepest recesses of my heart, then they can change us at the core of our being. Nevertheless, we must also be actively listening and internalizing how the culture around us thinks. When this takes place, we will be able to fluently speak God's words to the culture we live among in a way that they can understand. ( The late Dr. T. L. Osborn) A  good example of this comes from the life of the late T.L. Osborn. Osborn was a pioneer in mass crusade evangelism outside of the Uni
