MISSION REPORT ETHIOPIA JANUARY, 2024

Dear Friends!

We had a good start into the new year! In January we had two wonderful gospel campaigns in Ethiopia.

Thousands came to hear the Word of God and to be healed. Everywhere the Spirit of God was moving: saving and healing people and filling them with his power. Our only problem is that our loudspeaker-system has become too small to reach all the people. It is also old and some speakers did quit. In order for all the people to hear the message well we need a better sound-system. By faith we ordered a new one. It should arrive in March/April. We had to pay $ 63.000 down and the remaining $ 44.000 we have to pay in 12 monthly installments. It means for the next 12 months we have additional monthly costs of $ 3.666. As soon as the sound equipment arrives in Ethiopia we have to pay 68% import tax on top.

That money we don’t have yet and we are believing God to either reduce the tax or to have the full amount on time. Please agree with us that the money will be there.

God once spoke to Reinhard Bonnke: “Don’t calculate with what is in your pocket. Calculate with what is in my pocket.” Our pockets may be empty but God’s pockets are always full. When Peter needed tax money he found a coin in a fish’s mouth. When Jesus needed a donkey, the disciples found a brand-new donkey. Jesus told them to loose it and bring it. If they ask you what you are doing tell them: The Lord has need of it! Could it be that God has need of your bitcoins, or stocks or some property?

Why don’t you loosen it and bring it to Jesus? You can trade temporal goods into eternal wealth. Jesus said: “Use wicked wealth to make friends for yourselves. Then when it is gone, they will welcome you to an eternal home”, Luke 16:9. The people we win for Christ with our money will one day welcome us in heaven and thank us for our obedience.

We sense that God wants to enlarge us and He wants to do more than ever before. We are only getting started.

God wants to save more people, heal more people and also give you more than ever before. His name is El Shaddai: The God who is more than enough. Each out for more. Jabez prayed: “Oh that you would indeed bless me and enlarge my territory, that your hand might be with me, and that You would keep me from evil…so God granted what he asked”, 1. Chronicles 4:10.

Jesus said: “Whatever you ask the Father in my Name, He will give it to you”, John 16:23.

“You have not because you ask not”, James 4:2. “Ask and it shall be given unto you”, Matthew 7:7.

According to Ephesians 3:20 God will do exceedingly above all we can ask, dream or imagine – according to His power which works in us.

From February 12-25 we have another two gospel crusades in Ethiopia. In March we will be in Nigeria and in April/May we want to have our first crusade in Ethiopia with our new sound system.

I want to thank everybody for every prayer and every financial gift. May the Lord bless you and give you more than ever before, Ezekiel 36:11.

In His Love!

HEALING TESTIMONIES ETHIOPIA

For 3 years his left ear had been deaf.

He can hear again.

10 years he could hardly see anything.

Now he can see again.

For 1 year her ear had been deaf.

She can hear again.

From childhood she was handicapped and lost her balance. Now she walks normal.

His ankle was swollen the last 14 years and he could only limp.

Now he walk straight.

By His stripes we are healed!

Isaiah 53:5

By His stripes you were healed!

1.Peter 2:24

Someone asked Kathryn Kuhlman what faith is. She said: “Faith is, if you stop believing what you see and start seeing what you believe!”

Faith has to do with invisible things. As soon as the invisible becomes visible faith is no more needed. We have come from faith to sight. “Faith is the conviction of things not seen” Hebrews 11:1.

Things exist in the unseen first and faith is making them visible.

I often hold up a bottle of water up in my hand and ask the people in Ethiopia if they believe that I hold a bottle of water in my hand. They lift their hands and say: “Yes, we believe it”.

I ask: “Why do you believe that I hold a bottle of water in my hands?” “Because we can see it” they answer. Then I tell them I have 200 Birr (Ethiopian money) in my pocket. How many believe that, I ask. Only few lift their hands. “Why do you not believe that I have 200 Birr in my pocket?”, I ask. “Because we can’t see the money”, they answer. “You all have Thomas-faith” I tell them. Thomas only believed what he could see.

I don’t need faith for things I can see. I need faith for things I can’t see. By faith they would know that I have 200 Birr in my pocket, because I don’t lie. Abraham believed God, because Abraham knew that God does not lie. Abraham possessed God’s faith. He was convinced of things he could not see and acted like they were true. Abraham said what God said.

Faith is agreeing with God. I believe what God believes, I think as God thinks, I speak what God says, I act like God. God believes that by the stripes of Jesus I am healed. He says it, in his word. He thinks it. Our problem is that we believe more what our body tells us than what God’s word tells us. Abraham did not consider his body as good as dead. Abraham believed God, not what his body said and felt, nor what his mind suggested. Abraham did not consider Sarah’s body as good as dead. His and Sarah’s body contradicted the promise of God.

Someone says: As long as I feel sick and feel pain I can’t believe that I am healed. When I feel well and look well I believe I am healed. That would be Thomas-faith, which is walking by sight and feeling. Abraham believed God, that he has a son without having any prove except the word of God. What God says IS, even if my mind and my body don ‘t agree.

One time my wife came home from the doctor and said: “I have good news for you. The doctor says I am pregnant.”

She did not feel pregnant, she did not look pregnant but the doctor said it and we believed it. We had no evidence except the doctor’s word! I could have said: “You don’t look pregnant, you don’t even feel pregnant, therefore you must not be pregnant. We believe in what we see and feel, no matter what the doctor says.” That would have been foolish. Why don’t we believe the word of God like we believe the word of a doctor? We want to believe God’s word but we demand some evidence first. The Word is our evidence. It is enough evidence.

Jesus told a lame man: “I say to you now, stand up! Carry your stretcher and go on home, for you are healed,” Luke 5:24 TPT. Jesus calls the lame man healed. He is calling those things that are not (to the physical eye) as if they are.

The man first had to believe the word of Jesus: “You are healed” before he could get up and walk. You might say: If Jesus would appear to me and tell me: ‘You are healed’ I would believe it too and act upon it. But Jesus is speaking to us today through his word. And He has said in 1. Pet. 2:24: “By my stripes you were healed.” That is all the proof we need. That is why we celebrate communion. We believe that by His stripes we were healed and we remember it in communion and appropriate it. What I think or feel is secondary. Feelings change all the time. God’s word is eternal truth! Heaven and earth will pass away but His Word will stand forever.
