A Second Good Report

Cambodia: We flew from Romania through Germany to Bangkok, Thailand, on to Phnom Penh, Cambodia. We (David Norton, Sonny S. Weimer, and myself and there met up with Chad) ministered for our friends, Ted and Sou Olbrich, at their leadership conference. 3812 leaders attended, and ate 18,700 lbs. of rice, 6 cows, 20 pigs, and tons of vegetables. They slept on the conference grounds in every conceivable and inconceivable place. We experienced some very intense warfare that affected us physically, but God phenomenally broke through. The nation is in an incredible revival of Holy Spirit visitation, resulting in tremendous miracles, new churches being planted, and the poor and orphans being taken care of. About 1500 people were baptized in the Holy Spirit and several hundred were healed (paralysis, deafness, and all types of supernatural healings). Hundreds were falling under the Holy Spirit's power and experiencing trances and visions. The Cambodians shared the ministry with us, ministering powerfully through the laying on of hands. Spontaneous healings, infillings, and deliverances were the norm. Just 8 years ago, none of this was happening, but now there are at least 400,000 believers and 3500 orphans in Christian orphanages. It is powerful, also, to see the miracle ministries that God is raising up among the new Cambodian believers who are healing the sick, raising the dead, casting out demons, and evangelizing their nation. One pastor, a completely uneducated man, is seeing miracles of Biblical proportions, with the doctors by-passing local hospitals to bring the sick to his church! What was known as "the killing fields" have become "the revival fields." Yet much remains to be done to bring a dark land under His Lordship. Already reports have come about hundreds of people being saved and baptized in water following the conference. You can see pictures of the conference at www.missionreports.com/conference_2007.

Vietnam: After a very intense, exhausting yet rewarding time in Cambodia, we flew to the northern part of Vietnam via Laos. Traveling with me were David Norton, Chad Chism, and Sonny S. Weimer. Sonny had had an incredible visitation, seeing the heavens over Vietnam filled like a giant dump truck. He felt like God was speaking to him--like before a giant storm, the heavens over Hanoi were full, and God was getting ready to release open heavens. Though the crowds were smaller than previously due to a strong Jezebelic attack by several rebellious leaders (they led astray 400 people), unusual healings and visitations came on all 20 pastors and leaders attending. We saw Sonny's dream come to pass in this powerful time. We will see God, by His grace and your faithful prayers, totally release the North into New Testament revival! I was blessed to have my son carry the majority of the Northern leadership seminar and I came to the realization that he is well able to be a senior leader over international teams now.
After Hanoi, we flew south with our apostolic contact, and ministered to about 60 leaders who had come from various parts of Central and Southern Vietnam. A supernatural wave of the Spirit came, releasing prayer and the manifestations of the Lord. The emphasis was on apostolic principles, ministry, and lifestyle. We are blessed to have ongoing covenant relationships with the Vietnamese leaders and Christians.
