Thank the Lord, we have positive news of recent ministry in Ukraine. I have just returned from holding prayer for the nation in Lviv, West Ukraine. Two and a half thousand filled the magnificent Golgotha Church in Lviv. Worship was led by an inter-church choir, and prayer was led by pastors from Lviv region.
Thank you for your support in prayer and finance, especially during my latest evangelism in Central Asia: 12 days’ ministry in Kazakhstan and one week in Kyrgyzstan. What I am seeing, and what God is about to do in these Moslem nations, HAS to be Joel’s 2nd outpouring without limit – the latter rain greater than the moderate rain on the first Day of Pentecost! So I am calling for another Day of Prayer here, in the UK, Saturday November 11th to bring the power down here.
We allow nothing to stop God’s work! Because we work in Ukraine on a national basis with every denomination and the government, we have been offered a provisional date to hold the National Day of Prayer on June 12th in the big Sports Palace in Kiev which holds 10,000, but provisionally, at 50% capacity. This is the only country in Europe which is so desperate to call the whole nation to prayer that the national TV channels will broadcast it and involve the whole nation.
Despite the Covid-19 problems, our work continues very actively in Israel where our workers are all local people who are daily supporting the very needy Russian-speaking Jews, Holocaust survivors and their families. Also, in Ukraine, where we are supplying Bibles to the military and supporting the chaplains who are taking the good news of the Gospel to the troops at risk on the frontline. In Poland we continue extensively supporting the local people in our preparations for next year.
We’re now in a time which none of us had anticipated – the government telling us how to operate our churches and our worship! Who could have imagined that a UK government could cancel Christmas, or that Israel would close its borders and cancel the Jewish New Year? However, our ministry is particularly strong In Israel where the families of the Holocaust survivors need your help more than ever because of a total lockdown since the recent increase of the Covid virus. Our teams of volunteers supply food and other necessities and use this as a means of ministry and bringing the Gospel into people’s homes, opening the hearts of non-religious Jews to the reality of the message of the Gospel of their Messiah!
I am not afraid of the Covid-19 virus, nor am I afraid of death. I have put my life in God’s Hands knowing that I am safe and, as the Bible says, ‘a thousand shall fall at thy side and 10 thousand at thy right hand but it will not come nigh thee’. I claimed the ‘Blood on my doorpost’, for myself, my family and my staff! This means that together with all our Eurovision staff here and overseas we are carrying on working as much as possible. In fact, we are taking advantage of every new opportunity.
