We pray that this message finds you well.
Right now, we are working on taxes, Adam is working on a book he is writing, we are preparing to move next month, and we are preparing for the upcoming outreach in Myanmar/Burma in April. We are excited about this upcoming ministry trip. Adam is traveling with some fellow ministers to the areas he was in last summer providing relief to people in Cyclone Nargis. This time they are going to be doing youth rallies and evangelism. They are going to be partnering with youth and pastors who helped distribute relief last summer.
In Myanmar, there is a time each year when people congregate and it becomes much easier to share the Gospel on a large scale. That time is during the Water Festival which takes place in April. Would you please pray for the people of Myanmar to receive the Living Water of Jesus Christ this April.
The time is short and the harvest is great.

In His service,
Adam & Julie

We pray that you had a good Thanksgiving holiday and wish you peace and joy during the upcoming holiday season.
We had a fruitful time of ministry in Nigeria. Julie, Jonathan, Joshua, and I went there at the end of October to conduct evangelistic meetings, youth rallies, prison ministry, and pastors training. Julie conducted a healing school during the day. It was a huge blessing to have people built up in the Word for the evangelistic meetings at night.
We worked with a Nigerian minister, Bishop Effiong Noah, and his team. They were great. The Lord is using them in mighty ways to reach Africa.
We averaged between 500-1000 people a night and had over a thousand people give their lives to the Lord. We also saw many people healed from heart trouble, back and neck pain, breathing problems, and other ailments. We were not allowed to take any pictures or video at the prison but many gave their lives to the Lord and both prisoners and guards said that the ministry we did there was life changing for them.
We had hundreds of children and youth give their lives to the Lord as we commissioned them to be an Amos 2:11 generation.
We praise the Lord for His faithfulness and thank Him for the great things He is doing around the world. We also thank Him for you and your generous prayers and support.

In His service,
Adam & Julie

We pray that you had a great summer and that the new school year is starting off successfully. Hannah started kindergarten recently and is really loving it. She is a chatter-box when she gets home about all the things she is learning and what happened that day with all the kids in the class. She is also taking violin lessons from her Grammy and is becoming a very fine violinist.
The boys are doing good. Jonathan just celebrated his 2nd birthday. It is amazing to think that just two years ago we were going through one of the greatest challenges of our lives. It is also exciting to know that soon the manifestation of his sight is coming. I can’t wait to send out that e-mail and to share that testimony.
We spent the month of July traveling throughout the East Coast ministering in churches. It was a great blessing to visit many of the people who are a part of this team.It was also a blessing to see the revival breaking out in the American church. As we have been traveling, we have seen a move towards a holy reverence for the time we have left. The Bible tells us, “Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” Eph 5:15-17 NASU We are in a valley of decision as a body. Are we going to just live our lives as the people did in the days of Noah or are we going to run our race with everything we have to save as many as possible. The best thing we could do with our time here on earth is the will of our Father who desires that none perish but that all come to a saving knowledge of Him through His son.
We also had a very successful trip to Washington DC for THE CALL. The CORE youth ministry went as a group of 30 people to pray and fast for our nation on the mall between Capitol Hill and the Washington Monument. We were believing for the youth to have a life changing experience with God and they did.
The youth raised$10,000 dollars in 3 weeks doing garage sales, going door to door, and selling refreshments. The really cool thing was that they also led over 30 people to the Lord during the fund-raisers.
One amazing testimony was during our second garage sale. A lady was asking about something for sale but nobody could understand her. It turned out that she was deaf. The pastor called me over to pray for her. We laid hands on her and came against the deaf and dumb spirit. The lady started shaking her head and opening and closing her mouth. She was totally healed. It also turned out that she was 60 years old and had been born deaf. We led her in a prayer and as she was repeating after us, her speech completely cleared up.
The trip to The Call was just as good and God was able to bring unity and revival amongst our youth. One really impacting experience was praying at the steps of the Supreme Court with other believers asking God to forgive our sins and the sins of our nation, to stop abortion, and to send revival to our land. The Call was a day of worship, prayer, crying, and laughing. We live in a great country and there is hope for truth (God’s Word) and justice (not increasing ourselves at another’s expense) to prevail.
When we arrived home, we started seeing our youth group explode. Two weeks ago, one of our youth led ten young people to the Lord in his apartment complex and water baptized them in the pool. He is now acting as a site leader in that area and more youth are starting to do the same thing in their areas. It is so exciting to see this revival generation step into their place God has for them.
Right now we have some exciting things going on.
We had a partners dinner where we announced the kick-off of our efforts to raise money for the construction of a new building for Hannah Jyoti Children’s Home in Andhra Pradesh, India. The children have spent years now living in a small one-room church building with a one-room addition on the side. We are now cooperating with other ministries to build a 6,720 sq/ft three-story building designed to house 100 children. It is made up of a floor for the boys dormitory, a floor for the girls, and a ground floor for a kitchen and dining/study room. This project has been in the works for a couple years but recently the church in India had a breakthrough. They raised $63,000 from Indian sources to buy land. Since they have shown such great faith and commitment, it seems right to honor that by helping them with the construction. The construction cost is $82,000. If you open the attached file, it is a flyer for this project.
Julie and I are also planning a ministry trip to Nigeria in the area of Ikom in October. We will be taking Jonathan and Joshua while Hannah and David stay with their Grandparents. We will be doing open-air evangelistic meetings, be conducting pastors training and a women’s conference, doing street-ministry, going into prisons, and meeting with government officials. Right now it is being advertised on television and they are expecting a minimum of 10,000 people a night.
We have been fasting and praying for great miracles, including one for Jonathan. We ask that you join your faith with us for a mighty impact and the reverence of the Lord to descend upon the church there. At present, we are raising $10,000 for this outreach and its expenses. We would appreciate your partnership to help in this harvest.
For the next two weeks, I am fasting and praying for our supporters, ministry and family. If you have any needs, please call me or e-mail me so that I can pray for them. We are praying and believing for a house. We have definitely outgrown our two bedroom apartment and we are in need of a stable place to base out of as we minister worldwide. Please stand with us for a quick answer as our lease ends after this month.

In closing,
We would like to thank you for your faithful partnership with this ministry. It is a great privilege to be teamed with you for the harvest. Please contact us with any needs you have. We are a body and the body works together and protects itself. We continually give thanks for you and praying God’s blessing, favor, and perfect will for your life.

In His service, Adam & Julie

I recently returned home from Myanmar (Burma). It was a successful trip.
I worked with our friend Suan Za to put together relief teams to help distribute aid to people affected by the recent cyclone in the country. As of the time I left the country, we had helped feed approximately 8,500 people and had clothed and housed hundreds.

Leading up to the trip, it seemed like everything was going wrong to stop me from leaving. First, the tickets I ordered from a travel agent in the UK got lost in the mail. I spent ten hours on the phone to the United Kingdom trying to sort things out. The agent who was working on my behalf with the consulate for Myanmar said that it would be impossible for me to get a visa to go. I prayed, applied, and got the visa. As we were driving to the airport for my flight, the tire that I had put on our van the week before blew out and literally shredded into pieces. By the time we got to the airport, it was supposed to be too late for them to check me in for the flight, but they checked me in anyways. There was so much opposition. If I had been walking by sight, there were many opportunities for me to say, “The door must be closed.” We decided to press on in faith through the opposition and were rewarded with a wonderful time of ministry.

When I arrived in Myanmar (Burma) I had thousands of dollars stashed all over my body. I prayed for the ministering angels to go before me and the Lord took me through immigration and customs with no problem. They just waved me on through. I met my friend Suan Za and when we arrived at the hotel, I found out that the government was not allowing foreigners to distribute relief. I had Suan Za dye my hair black and I prepared to go under cover.
The next day we met with other relief teams who told us that teams that had gone in had been turned back and at a later date, the Burmese people who were on the team had been arrested and questioned for being seen with foreigners. No one was willing to be seen going in with a foreigner because of the risks involved. We were able to mobilize a team to go in with Suan Za since he is originally from Myanmar. They traveled to the coastal areas that were affected. I helped mobilize teams to work in the refugee camps and areas around the capitol. These places were still off-limits to foreigners but the check points were not as strictly guarded and they were all within a day’s travel.
As I traveled around, it was obvious I was under surveillance. One man wrote down the license plate numbers of all the taxis I took and where I went. They also kept track of everyone I was seen with. As we would travel through checkpoints, I would just look down and keep from making eye contact. They always let us through.
The Lord brought together two strong teams for me to work with through local churches in the capitol. I had an open door to do a one day youth conference. In it I spoke about the call God has on His end-time generation and I commissioned them to go out in boldness, power, and consecration. I could see hope being ignited in the young people’s hearts as they realized that God is bigger than any circumstance or situation. God had given their country to them as an inheritance and had given them the spiritual authority to see it come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Out of that ministry came an invitation to do a three day Holy Spirit and Faith conference. We talked about “The difference between weak and strong faith”, “How to be fruitful in faith”, “Developing intimacy with God”, “Releasing the anointing and spiritual gifts”, and “How to release the power of praying in the Spirit”. Many people said that their lives and spiritual walks were forever changed through what they learned in the conference.
From the conferences, the Lord raised up teams of youth to go out with me to do relief work. We bought over a ton of rice, hundreds of t-shirts and raincoats, and rolls of plastic sheeting for tents. We loaded them up in the back of trucks along with our teams and drove to where the relief was needed. In some places the trucks could not reach so we transported the items on bicycles. We then proceeded to take the items to families and tell them that Jesus loved them and to ask them if we could pray for them for anything. The people hugged us, thanked us, many saying that they never really knew what Christians were like. We did this again and again in village after village.
In some villages, we could not give the relief out openly because it was forbidden by the military rulers in those areas, so we distributed it from people’s homes and in two places we distributed it from Christian orphanages. I felt so fulfilled as I saw children and youth doing the work of the ministry with love, compassion, and boldness. They were encouraged and emboldened in their faith as they saw the impact they were having on people’s lives.
When we had finished distributing relief, we met nightly and I was able to teach on intercession and the believer’s authority. We came together in small groups and interceded in prayer, for Myanmar, for its leaders and their salvation, and for revival among its people. I know that the seeds for godly leaders, restoration, freedom, and the manifestation of God’s glory were planted in people’s hearts and in that land through our prayers of faith and unity.

As I was ministering alongside the young people of Yangon, Suan Za was traveling with a team of young people to the coastal areas affected by the cyclone. When the cyclone hit these areas it was accompanied by a storm surge of waves over twenty feet high that washed over twenty miles inland. Entire villages of people had been erased. Suan Za and the teams traveled past places where there were no survivors or buildings left.
They traveled by truck, through six military checkpoints to the coast where they rented boats, filled them with relief items, and traveled up-river to places where no relief had reached even after one month. Some of the villages were only accessible six hours a day during high tide. The rest of the time they were surrounded by mud flats. One man they talked with said he had been caught by the waves and kept treading water until he reached a coconut tree which he wrapped himself around. All night long cobras swam up to him and tried to crawl on him but he would just grab them and toss them away. When the water subsided, he was in the top of the tree and had been washed seven miles inland. There was story after story of villages where out of hundreds of people, only one or two had survived. People were hurting and looking for hope. Praise God we were able to provide that hope at a time when their hearts were open. Even the Buddhist monks were welcoming and open.
As I traveled around Myanmar, I saw an anti-Christian and anti-west theme that was being pushed through the government propaganda, on the state-run television station, and in the state-run newspaper. All other sources of information and all other views were censored. Praise God that people were able to see the real Jesus of compassion and mercy. Most people we spoke with had no idea of who He is or that He even exists.

Thank you for your support and prayers that made this outreach possible. It had eternal implications. You had a hand in changing the destiny and direction of a nation. The work that was done was awesome and it is not finished. The teams that were mobilized are still continuing to bring help to the hurting and hope to those surrounded by death and destruction. As you read this, a ministry center and home for children orphaned by this disaster is being established by members of this team. The work has just begun but will continue with your continued prayer and support.

As you read this, I should be on my way to Burma (Myanmar). Julie and I are really excited about what God is going to be doing there.

We have partnered with 5 other ministries to bring aid and relief to the people of the Irrawaddy Delta who were affected by Cyclone Nargis. At present, together we have been able to raise $17,500 to go towards rice, water purification, mosquito nets, and other items needed to provide help and relief. We plan to personally deliver aid to those people in need and also to establish a ministry center in the Delta region.

Julie and I have been praying and interceding for Burma for 4 years now and we rejoice that the time of the open door there has come.

Please agree with us in prayer that the dead be raised, blind eyes will see, arms grow out, sick be healed, all attacks of the enemy will not prosper against us, and most importantly of all God be glorified by the growth of His kingdom because of all the salvations.

Thank you for your prayer and support for our upcoming relief project. We praise God for the generous outpouring of love coming in for His kingdom.
Sometimes it is hard to believe but what the enemy meant for evil, God will use for good. Our prayer for years has been that God would open up the hearts of the Burmese people for revival and the time has come.
We are bringing hope in the form of aid but an even greater hope is coming with us, which is Jesus. 1 Tim 1:1 says that Jesus Christ is our hope. Buddhism’s first noble truth says, “life is suffering.” It says that our very existence is suffering but Jesus says that he endured suffering because of the joy set before him. The tragedy that recently happened in Myanmar (Burma) is not the end of the story. There is a joy set before us of a people delivered from spiritual slavery and a nation covered with the compassion, mercy, and glory of God. The Lord is going to show Himself mighty on their behalf.
Jesus said that the way we would serve him would be to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, care for the sick, and visit those in prison. Laid before us is an awesome opportunity to show the love of God to those who are hurting. It is the love of God that draws men unto repentance and we are His hands and feet to show His love to Myanmar (Burma).
