In October we were invited by our dear friends from Tucson, Pastor Jasmine and her father, Apostle Abel, to bring a prayer team to Agua Prieta, Mexico, a town just across the border form Douglas, Arizona. (I guess God has a sense of humor – as I have turned my attention to pray for America, He sends me to Mexico. I think we better just stick with 5 Rivers International and see where He sends us next!)

Our team of twelve people (including my wife, Jan, with her shiny new passport) had the honor and privilege to connect with the most wonderful church who have been ministering in this area for many years. Led by Apostle Dora, they have been winning souls and making disciples in an area that is completely controlled by the drug cartel. In the midst of this violence and darkness God is raising up His Church to shine like a beacon of light.

It was a special treat for me to have Preston and Paty Robinson from Chicago join us on this prayer journey. They were part of the very first team I ever trained in prayer walking and spiritual warfare 23 years ago. Paty is the one who translated my book, Fearless Faith, into Spanish. We were able to hand out many of our very first copies in Spanish to the people at the church and it was a joy to watch folks ask Paty to sign them.

Our main purpose was to pray and release the Kingdom of God in advance of a major outreach they had planned for the following weekend, Operation Jesus Christ (OJC). It was a joy to be “boots on the ground” at the outdoor sports complex, as well as spend time praying all over the city. We also had the opportunity to minister to the leaders of the church, praying, prophesying, and encouraging them.

On Sunday I was honored to preach at the church as Pastor Jasmine translated. The Presence of God was heavy as He filled the place with the Spirit of love and hope. Nearly every one of the 200 people in attendance were weeping in His Presence. The ushers were handing out tissue boxes all over the church as the Holy Spirt deeply touched people’s hearts.

In June, our dear friends and ministry partners, Ashish and Kalpana, were blessed with a beautiful baby boy. He was born with a condition that required immediate surgery. The last three months of the pregnancy and going through the surgery was a very stressful time for them but their faith never wavered as they prayed and put their trust in God. Today he is doing great and brings them much joy.

Thank you for praying for Ashish to get permission to purchase property to build a training center and their new home. After a long journey, permission has been granted and now they are preparing the land to lay the foundation. This is truly a miracle of God!  Ashish continues to train leaders via ISOM and a new group of 25 just began. Last year about 125 leaders graduated ISOM and many of them are doing ministry in the mountain villages, continuing to take Jesus to where He has never been before. What I had been doing alone has now multiplied into hundreds.

Please pray, as persecution continues with more states enacting or increasing anti-conversion laws. In some states, life in prison with all their property confiscated is the punishment for leading someone to Christ. Our other partners, Jacob and Debra, continue to travel throughout India, in spite of the danger, strengthening their network of more than 17k house churches. They tirelessly work to train and equip leaders to be more fruitful and advance the Kingdom of God.

Thank you to those who give financially to 5 Rivers, allowing us to continue to support these amazing partners. You are sowing into good soil! And thank you to those who pray, as prayer is both the starting and turning point for everything!

AMERICA NEEDS GOD!

Benjamin Franklin once said, “God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid?”

As America celebrates her 250^th birthday, we recognize that the hand of God has been on this country from the time the first pilgrims set foot on this land.

In 1605, Robert Hunt stood on the shores of the New World at Cape Henry and declared, “We do hereby dedicate this land, and ourselves to reach the people within these shores with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and to raise up godly generations after us, and with these generations take the Kingdom of God to all the earth.”

For the past thirteen years God has sent me to the nations to release His Presence and advance His Kingdom. During those years we have seen thousands of healings and deliverances. We have seen churches planted, pastors encouraged and ISOM Training Centers established in many locations of India. God has been faithful. God has been good! 

Although the baton has been passed to our ministry partners in North India, we are still very much involved, praying for them, supporting them and giving them counsel. Please continue to pray for them as well. Life continues to be full of challenges for them during these times of intense persecution.

I know God is not done with me in the “nations,” however, for now, I know the Lord is asking me to turn my face toward America in this season and fight for His will to be done and His Kingdom to increase in our nation.

Thus, the launching of 5 Rivers America, a prayer and ministry initiative to see awakening and revival sweep across our nation.

God has abundantly blessed my recently released book, Fearless Faith, and we are consistently getting reports that people are being deeply touched by God as they read it, no matter their age or where they are on their faith journey. Some older couples have read it out loud to each other. Homeschool moms have read it to their children. Young people have read it and have been challenged to find a Jesus who is worth dying for. The biggest response we get is, “I wept my way through your book.” I am eternally grateful that God has truly anointed my scribblings and is using it for His glory.

The book has now been translated into Spanish and will be available in the next few months. We pray it will spread far and wide across Mexico and all of South America as well as Spanish speaking people here in America. 

I am also doing podcasts talking about each chapter of the book that will soon be available on YouTube. Later this year I will also have an audible version of the book available that I will narrate myself (prayers appreciated). May God continue to put His blessing and favor on this book. You may order a copy here on our website, or you can get the Kindle version on Amazon.

We know God is already using this book to expand the Kingdom of God in the nations, as incoming funds are being used to support our international partners. And we believe He will use it to open doors for 5 Rivers America! Please pray with us for much fruit.
