DIVINEAPPOINTMENTS

June, 2015

Dear Partners in Jesus,

It is with great joy and with deep gratitude that we thank you for your prayers and your help. God

certainly answered! I did not have stomach trouble even once. This recent ministry trip stirred and

increased our faith, strongly, again. On March 17, the day before leaving Indiana for California, a godly

 brother told me during a prayer meeting, “Your trip will be full of  Divine Appointments .” I prayed and

fasted for its fulfillment, also when staying in Singapore for four days.

My first stop was on the island of Batam. From the seaport I went straight to the local hospital because the

wife of Pastor D was very sick  (not sure what sickness).   We prayed and pleaded with the Lord for mercy(your prayers were with us).   Amazing! The very next day she was so much better that the doctors sent

her home. PTL! A Divine Appointment ?

Even before leaving U. S. soil, when in California, I met Mr. A  (from Islamic faith). The Lord touched

him with the Gospel and he accepted Christ into his heart. Then the Lord led me to meet S.K., a U. S. Navy veteran in his 40’s. S.K. also responded and prayed the sinner’s prayer. PTL! God-given

Divine Appointments !

From Batam Island I flew to Pastor G’s ministry

 place on Sumatra Island. As we were approach-

ing his area he said, “My bathroom facilities areembarrassing.” I smiled and replied, “Don’t

worry about that.” (In the photo you can see

there’s a wooden bar you have to go under, then

walk on 1 ½ in. x 1 ½ in. boards & hope youdon’t fall in because the septic flows into the

water below.) Both G and his wife were former 

students of ours, but we had not seen each other for over 25 years. That night we laid our bodies

down on simple straw mats on the concrete

floor. At 2:00 am, two members of his congre-gation knocked at the door and asked, “Can you

help us? Our sister is possessed by demons!”

We dressed quickly and prayed together, then drove the two motorcycles into the night, PRAYING all the

way (about 45 minutes). The incoherent young woman was rambling. Jesus confronted the unclean spiritsas we called upon Him and rebuked them in His name. An hour later she was delivered, and she opened

her heart to make Him her Savior and Lord. PTL! We saw His victory, her healing, and her receiving

salvation. Riding the motorcycles back, we rejoiced and rejoiced, but we praised Him more because our 

names are written in Heaven, meaning WE ARE HIS.

That afternoon, at a Good Friday service, when I extended an invitation to receive Jesus as Savior, 12 or 13 people welcomed Him. PTL! These victories happened despite G’s reservations concerning his

 primitive bathroom facilities. Ha. These were Divine Appointment s! In a future newsletter I will share

more Divine Appointments.

God laid it on my heart to pray for Mrs. L.E. inSurabaya, E. Java, whom I had not seen for three or 

four years. Her son, Pastor H.T., saw me and

exclaimed, “What a surprise! Can you speak to mycongregation tonight?” I thought, “This is unusual!

I did not know they would have a church service that

Friday night!” This was a Divine Appointment. That

night 14 people accepted Jesus as Savior! PTL!

While in Malang, E. Java, our partners

(prayer team) asked me to join them to

cast our demons from a young boy, 11

years old. We prepared, we prayed (you

also were praying), and Jesus did it.He was totally healed and the evil

spirits were cast out. In this picture on

the left, the boy and his grandmother 

are sitting in front. His mother is behind me, the rest are prayer team

members.

Remember the young man in this picture below? (Y.M.) We have shared about him several times in

 previous letters. Now he is a pastor on a far away Northeastern island of Morotai. Bearing the marks of 

 persecution on his body, he pastors a formerly persecuted and displaced community of 30 families.Persecution did not stop Y.M. Your investment  (we, along with other 

 Indonesian brothers/sisters put him through Bible college)  is now

 producing spiritual fruit.

Through Divine Appointments, HE brought at least 53 soulsto HIMSELF. We are very grateful to Him and to you.

May God so richly bless each one of you.
