2023 Gratitude Report-ATP

Page 1

OUR VISION is to work globally to identify and restore victims of trauma from abuse and its damaging effects. This is in order to free people from their suffering and interrupt the cycle of abuse for future generations. a look

look back ...

you are the heartbeat ...

2023 was filled with life-transforming missions and ministry — thanks be to God and faithful friends like you!

For more than two decades, All Things Possible Ministries has been reaching out to traumatized people, with a focus on widows and orphans. In 2023, we were laser-focused on bringing comfort to abused children and bringing predators to justice.

Your faithful support helped set captives free — physically, emotionally and spiritually — bringing God’s light and love to some of the darkest, most dangerous corners of the world.

At the beginning of 2023, we had no idea He would eventually guide us into the war zone in Israel — even into enemy territory in Gaza — to deliver comfort and care to survivors.

It is because of you that we were able to give away thousands of therapeutic toys to traumatized children there and even pray over Gaza from a rooftop! Your unwavering support meant we could also provide Israeli women with Dignity Kits — personal care items that most of us take for granted. Even the simple gesture of a hug meant so much to these devastated people.

We also saw beauty come from ashes in the lives of abused and trafficked girls — the youngest 4 years old — who were rescued and are being restored in our safe house in Southeast Asia. This is where your gracious

gifts go… Little lives are literally being brought back from the jaws of death!

Your loyal partnership also enabled us to launch our Pedophile Hunter Fund and our hunters task force, made up of an elite team of experts at tracking down predators.

Your vital support is the heartbeat of this ministry — most of all your fervent prayers — and we are eternally grateful to have you alongside us in this work. On behalf of our staff and the countless people you’ve helped, thank you!

We can’t wait to share with you all that God is doing in 2024...

“You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.” — 2 Corinthians 9:11

All for His Glory,

“may i hug you?”

The unspoken language of a hug is powerful in every culture.

This brave Israeli woman, wife and mother stayed inside her home for 20 hours as quietly as possible with her husband, two small children and a dog, as Hamas terrorists were outside killing everyone — children, men, women, anyone they saw.

IDF fighters were on the roofs of their apartments fighting against the terrorists. Right across the street was the police department, which was blown up. A total of 20 police officers were killed inside.

The day before we got there, a missile hit right across the children’s playground, 30 feet from their home. This is two weeks after the massacre. Hamas is still firing missiles every day. We heard the warning each time a missile was launched.

After she told our team all that happened, she asked me for a hug. She said, “I needed this for a long time.” I hugged her and told her God sent us to let her and her family know He loves them, protected them and sees them.

We gave them some cash to help them as the husband can’t work since the attack. Many businesses are closed still. She finished our visit by saying, “Please tell the world what has happened.”

We assured her we would.

I needed this for a long time. “

In three days, with the help of a few locals, we were able to purchase all the items and put together over 1,000 Dignity Kits.

restoring dignity

The horror of October 7, 2023, will long be burnt into many of our memories. The evil displayed was of such a degree as we have not seen in modern history. Out of our response to this evil, I have the following memory that is even more impactful:

The advance mission team to Israel was made up of me and three others. In three days, with the help of a few locals, we were able to purchase all the items and put together over 1,000 Dignity Kits — bags filled with about 15 different essential health care products for women. The first place we distributed these was the Dead Sea. This resort area had been turned into a shelter for many of the over 200,000 internally displaced peoples.

At our first distribution, we met a young girl named Talya. Like so many others, she was obviously still troubled from the devastating trauma she and her family had gone through. We ministered to her and moved on to the next distribution location.

A couple of weeks later, the team went to Sderot, an area that had been severely damaged from the initial attack. It made the international news as the local police station was destroyed. While we were there in the city center, a car pulled over where we were filming the destruction. We immediately saw that it was Talya. She was with her dad, and they had just come back from visiting their home for the first time in almost three months.

She was so excited to see us and thanked us for the hope that we brought her at the Dead Sea, as well as now in her hometown of Sderot — about 2 hours away by car. She now had hope that God did not abandon her nor her family nor her people and country. And she shared with us that this hope was very important to her since the day of the attack was her 15th birthday.

We prayed with her and her dad, reminding them that both of our meetings with her were truly divine appointments and for her to have hope in Jesus. We also provided them with financial resources to help in these trying times. We continue to pray for her and all the others who have such horrific stories.

“ This is the power of the gospel right here. All those with hands raised wanted to receive Christ as their Savior!

praise report from a southeast asia prison...

How amazing is this?!

In Southeast Asia, our All Things Possible Ministries team, led by Chief Support Officer Chaz Yandall, had the opportunity to go into a youth and men’s prison.

There are many evildoers who end up there, including terrorist types and easily radicalized young men looking for a way to vent their anger and feel some type of value for fighting for any cause that accepts them.

But THIS is the power of the gospel right here. All those with hands raised wanted to receive Christ as their Savior after Chaz spoke. I’m even stunned, but my faith has grown! Thanking God for Chaz and the whole team and all you who prayed!

We risk going into places most don’t even know exist. Please pray against the many demonic influences upon these young men. Maybe there is a Saul among them that God’s Spirit may touch to become a Paul.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” — 2 Corinthians 5:17

grace in southeast asia

I’d like to share the story of 12-year-old “Grace.” She comes from a background of sexual abuse by her stepfather, growing up in the slums of Southeast Asia.

She was brave enough to share her testimony with us, starting with, “There was no peace in my family.” She recalled having to sleep on the streets and going out to look for money to bring back to her abuser. She was eventually swept up in a trafficking ring, and when her mother went to rescue her, she was beat by the trafficker.

Thanks to YOU, our generous supporters, she was rescued and brought to our House of Refuge. Of living in the safe house she said, “Here I feel like it’s safety.” She heard the gospel while living in there and knew she wanted to follow Jesus, not Buddha.

Now Grace is giving back the love she’s received. She came with us on our most recent mission to serve, minister and care for children — in the slum she was rescued from.

She told us she was overjoyed to help other kids, but then remembered where she came from and how she used to not even have enough to eat. She felt the Lord telling her to stay humble and trust Him. We asked her why she trusts God. She responded, “I trust Him because Jesus really is the truth and He loves me and He’s a good father.”

discipleship

In 2023, we were privileged to minister to 217 people over the phone (generally in a counseling mode), send 781 emails offering direction as to how ATP can help and engage in spiritual warfare to help free 84 people.

Several of those people have completed ATP’s Restored class, seeking spiritual intervention to turn from porn addiction.

There have been a handful of ministry leaders seeking help with demonic oppression. This has been a beautiful nuance — to bless folks who live to care for others.

A repeating pattern we see is one person getting set free and then inspiring other family members to do the same. It has been very gratifying to offer ministry that shifts an entire family’s life and trajectory!

Helping others break free from oppression through spiritual warfare.
When the time finally came for her to return home, it was evident that the change we wanted for her was not going to happen — she was just not ready.

the hope princess

Reflecting on this rollercoaster of a year we’ve experienced in the ministry, there’s one story that stands out and I will forever hold close to my heart.

Toward the end of July, we rescued a teen girl named Holly, who had finally escaped a relationship with an abusive predator. When we all heard her story, our hearts broke, and Victor and Eileen felt God was calling them to get her out of this situation. Fast forward, she stayed with our team for 12 weeks, during which we had many hard, exhausting, long days trying to get her on the road to recovery.

When the time finally came for her to return home, it was evident that the change we wanted for her was not going to happen — she was just not ready. Although this was devastating for all of us, it showed me one thing that gives me some hope. It’s not only about the change that needs to take place, but also what effort went into the process.

For me, it was heartening to see the effort and care our whole team showed — the resiliency, unconditional love and support, and immense skill sets that everyone offered this girl in her time here. Even as she ultimately rejected the chance for a fresh start, we all continued to show her the true love and peace only our Heavenly Father can give her.

Although her time to accept it may not be now, I pray that a seed was planted in her heart and one day she longs to receive Him completely. What we presented her is only the start of the possibilities for her life to turn around, and I thank God we were all given that opportunity to be the light for her in this dark world.

It is also a reminder to be as Christ-like as possible, the same way Jesus responded when He was rejected and mistreated. He still pursues us with His lovingkindness. I will never forget this hard but beneficial lesson through this young lady that I know Jesus, indeed, has His hand on.

arrested!

In early 2024, one of our teams in Southeast Asia noticed an out-of-place person with several children hanging around him. The team started monitoring him and we were able to get a photo of his passport. We sent that info to our U.S.-based ATP Task Force 3:16 (aka The Pedophile Hunter Task Force).

Our team discovered that, in 1997, this guy had been arrested for pedophilia activity in San Diego. Then over in Southeast Asia, our in-country team found more information — that in 2010, he served 9 years for pedophilia in Thailand.

We’ve been working on connecting with the kids shown in these images. We knew the kids were being groomed by him and, in my opinion, horrific abuse was taking place at his hotel room. My guess is videos were being made. We went to the FBI with all the information and they said he’s a career pedophile.

He was detained at the ministry of immigration while the FBI investigated what he was doing in his hotel room with the kids and about cyber crimes. In addition, the immigration police were revoking his visa and throwing him out of the country.

Praise the Lord for victory over evil and for your support that makes this possible! We are praying all the secret things will be exposed and for justice and healing for the children.

be prepared, not paranoid

At least 365 times in the Bible, God tells us, “Do not fear.” But in the face of everything we see in the world around us, it can be easy to succumb to fear, worry, anxiety and panic.

That’s why this year All Things Possible Ministries created a resource page online to help people “Be Prepared, Not Paranoid.”

It provides a list of partners and suggested steps to take to give you a greater sense of preparedness and decrease fear about the potential for a catastrophic event that impacts your city, state or country.

We’ve included links to some of our favorite products out there and we’ll add more from time to time, so be sure to check back. And remember His Word, “Do Not Fear.”

the dangerous gentleman

A Call for Christian Men to Be Courageous in a Culture of Correctness.

America is in a war — an internal battle between good and evil with society crumbling at our feet. With every institution we once relied on now eroded, there is no one coming to help. Victor doesn’t believe politicians are going to save people, nor law enforcement or public schools. Instead, he advocates for restoration of the family unit as God intended, led by fathers and a generation of “dangerous gentlemen” who believe that, without courage, all other virtues fail.

In his latest book, Victor lays out a battle plan for men to lead the fight to rebuild our culture, families and churches along with stories of his life’s journey that took him from an abused child left for dead to rescuer of the weak and traumatized. A former Marine, Victor has followed God’s call to the far corners of the globe to provide assistance to the least of these — including widows and orphans of ISIS fighters — despite the danger. What he’s learned along his journey he provides in these pages with his trademark humor and humility. He invites men along for the adventure of a lifetime.

coming 2024 the unseen war

All Things Possible presents a new documentary.

This film is out to expose the hidden battle going on in the spiritual realm, and it’s intended to be a wakeup call to all believers.

Satan wants nothing more than to subvert the mission God has given you. The church has become a club, rather than a place where we offer ourselves as living sacrifices and are laying down our lives for one another.

Friends, there is a war raging between good and evil, and the enemy’s greatest deception is making you miss the real battlefield — your mind.
