It always amazes me that God equips us with exactly what we need to fulfill His assignments, and for us that is the spirit of breakthrough. As we go to the nations to make Jesus known to those who have never heard, we feel we are on the forefront of the Kingdom of God being advanced. To accomplish this, God has given us authority to bring change, to shift the atmosphere, to open up the heavens creating portals of His Presence.
We have heard story after story that after we came and prayed the impossible became possible. “When you came to Thailand with the prayer team everything has changed. Churches are growing, souls are being saved, there is more unity and faith. We are experiencing breakthrough in many areas for the first time.”
“When you came to Cambodia, even before you left, everything changed. The roadblock to ministry that we thought was impossible to move was removed. Now there is freedom, joy and much fruit.”
“You came and prayed for a woman who was the only Christian in her village. She had a tumor on her neck. She was healed and now there are 20 believers in that village. Everything has changed.”
I kept asking the Lord to open Kashmir to me before I left India so I could go there and pray. And the God of breakthrough answered! A week before I was to leave India, Kashmir opened and we quickly bought tickets, jumped on a plane and landed in Kashmir. For three days we were able to stay with our Muslim friends who took us all over the city to pray. Literally, there was a soldier dressed in riot gear with a machine gun every 50 feet. Obviously, God wanted us to go there and pray at this crucial and strategic time. 


The pastor’s wife shared with me that the severe personal attacks and division had taken a toll on her husband emotionally and physically. After 30 years of faithful ministry he was preparing to retire feeling broken and defeated. We had come here to conduct 26 hours of nonstop prayer seeking God to bring healing and unity to this church that had once carried the fire of God.
