AMERICA NEEDS GOD!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benjamin Franklin once said, \u201cGod 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?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As America celebrates her 250th<\/sup> birthday, we recognize that the hand of God has been on this country from the time the first pilgrims set foot on this land.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1605, Robert Hunt stood on the shores of the New World at Cape Henry and declared, \u201cWe 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.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the past thirteen years God has sent me to the nations to release His Presence and advance His Kingdom. <\/strong>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! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, the launching of 5 Rivers America, a prayer and ministry initiative to see awakening and revival sweep across our nation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The church in America has weathered many battles over these past 250 years, and at times it seemed that Her light would be completely snuffed out. But God, in His infinite grace and mercy, when it seemed the voice of the Church had nearly gone silent, raised up men and women who would pray and preach and move in the power of the Holy Spirit.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These men and women cried out to God again and again, and in turn, God heard from heaven and forgave us of our sins and renewed His covenant with us. \u201cI know the plans I have for you says the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, to give you a hope and a future.\u201d Jer. 29:11<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, America has reached a new crossroad, once again fighting for the reason for its existence. As an Anti-Christ spirit is being released throughout our nation more intensely that ever before, it is once again time for men and women of God to cry out to Him for His mercy and forgiveness.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe with all my heart that in the middle of deep darkness we will see the greatest move of God in all of history. God wants to move! God wants to forgive! God wants to save! Jesus deserves to fully receive the reward of His suffering!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, as Franklin said, \u201cGod governs in the affairs of men.\u201d But we also know that God invites His people to participate with Him through prayer. It is those who pray who have the power and authority to change history.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is now our time to respond to the call of God, to cry out to Him, to pray and to believe for the salvation of our generations and those to come.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing we have always said about 5 Rivers is \u201cThere are no closed doors!\u201d Please pray for us that God would open doors, establish our steps and use us to help bring revival to His church in America. As always, WE PRAY, WE GO, and GOD MOVES!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2021 I have been working with BridgeBuilders International while in Arizona. I have taken prayer teams all over the state, connecting with pastors and intercessors. It has been my great joy to work with some of the best people you can imagine. I am forever grateful for my time partnering with this amazing prayer ministry here in Arizona.<\/strong> Hal and Cheryl Sacks, the founders of BridgeBuilders, have blessed me abundantly in this transition and have encouraged me to move out in faith as I pursue God in this new adventure. We will remain forever friends and stay connected for Kingdom assignments.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another big change for us is that Jan retired from her job on April 30th<\/sup>. She is now free to move about the country with me as God continues to establish 5 Rivers America. The one constant in our lives is things are always changing. Our desire is to discern when the cloud is moving and to move with it. That cloud sure has been moving a lot lately! We so appreciate your prayers in this new season…<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
