MISSION REPORT ETHIOPIA MAY, 2022
Dear friends! We had another two wonderful evangelistic campaigns in Ethiopia and from 8 to 19 June we have two more campaigns there. The country is open and the harvest is ripe. The gospel is the good news of God’s love: “God so loved the world”. A kiss transformed a “slimy frog” into a king; love transformed an unsightly Cinderella into a princess. In God’s eyes we are the precious pearl, to obtain which he was willing to give everything. Jesus came and declared freedom for the captives, health for the sick, pardon for the condemned, the year of jubilee of the Lord in which slaves were set free and debts cancelled. Adam, Eve and all of mankind were lost to God, and he was willing to give everything to bring us back. Jesus had to leave heaven, shed his sinless blood and go into hell so that we could get to heaven. That was the price. Now heaven is open to everyone who wants to accept God’s offer of grace. That is the message we proclaim and the Lord confirms it with signs and wonders. Heaven cannot confirm what we do not proclaim. God gave Adam the “kiss of life” and he became a living soul. After the resurrection, Jesus gave his disciples the “kiss of life” (he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit!”) and they were given new life in the Spirit. The Holy Spirit blew on the disciples at Pentecost and they received his power so they could walk in Jesus’ footsteps. They went out into the world and preached the word with signs and wonders that followed. The Holy Spirit does the same today through all those who believe, go and preach this gospel. Our new truck was in action for the first time. We were in an area that we could not have reached with our old postal vehicle. The Lord of the Harvest has provided us with a new Land Cruiser and a new truck, and we are still believing for a new public address system and stage.
That would make us very well equipped for the coming years. One day we will see that it was right to invest in God’s harvest of souls. When one day there are more people in heaven because you were alive and obeyed God, then your life will have been more than worthwhile. We believers will not come under the judgement for unbelievers, because Jesus was punished for our sins. We will come to the prize court where the works we have done on earth will be judged. Our salvation depends on what Jesus has done for us. Our reward depends on what we have done for Jesus on earth. We are living in tumultuous times. Everything will be shaken until only that which is unshakeable remains standing. If you are living in faith, you are unshakeable. Everything else will begin to totter. Feed your faith, strengthen your spirit, eat the word of God, declare the word of God, pray in the Holy Spirit and you will overcome any storm and not stumble. Many, many thanks for all your help and support. May the love and peace of God envelop you.

THE FAITH THAT TAKES! F.J. Dakes
This secret of answered prayer is very clear in Scripture. Note how simple the Bible is on this point: “Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be cast into the sea; and SHALL NOT DOUBT IN HIS HEART, BUT SHALL BELIEVE THAT THOSE THINGS WHICH HE SAITH SHALL COME TO PASS; HE SHALL HAVE WHATSOVER HE SAITH. Therefore I say unto you, WHAT THINGS SOEVER YOU DESIRE, WHEN YOU PRAY, BELIEVE THAT YOU RECEIVE THEM (Believe that you have got them), AND YOU SHALL HAVE THEM” (Mark 11:22-24); “But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that comes to God MUST BELIEVE THAT HE IS, AND THAT HE IS A REWARDER OF THEM THAT DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM”(Heb. 11:6); “If any of you lack wisdom (or anything else), let him ask of God, THAT GIVES TO ALL MEN LIBERALLY, AND WITHOUT REPROACH; AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN HIM. BUT LET HIM ASK IN FAITH NOTHING WAVERING. For he who wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. FOR LET NOT THAT MAN THINK THAT HE SHALL RECEIVE ANY THING OF THE LORD” (James 1:5-9).
The central though in all these passages is: “BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE GOT IT AND YOU SHALL HAVE IT.” Believe that it is already yours. See yourself with it. Believe that you have got it already whether you literally see it or not. Faith laughs at impossibilities and counts all things possible. It “calls those things that be not as though they are” (Romans 4:17-22). One cannot have faith for something that he already has, for “hope that is seen is not hope; for what a man sees, why does he yet hope for it? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it” (Romans 8:24-25).

Whoever uses faith can master all; have all he desires; and there are n bounds to what he can get. Faith will break through all barriers. Of reasonings, questionings, doubts, and thoughts of unbelief. It will take hold of what is wanted by an unshakable determination and will refuse to be denied. Faith will do all the Bible says it will do. Work what faith you have and refuse to be discouraged. Every impossible thing has finally yielded to pounding and increased pressure. What we do not use we lose is a divine law that never fails. Likewise, it is a divine law that whatever we use increases (Luke 8:18; Romans 10:17; Galatians 6:7-8). The scriptures cited above also prove the unlimited possibilities of prayer if one will use the faith that takes. Jesus said, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes” (Mark 9:23) and “All things, whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive” (Matt. 17:20; 21:21-22). This is how men got answers in bible days (Matt. 9:2, 27-29; Heb. 11). This is the only way men will get answers today; so we might as well stop deceiving ourselves that God might answer apart from firm, unwavering faith. He will not, for He said He will not, and He cannot lie (Heb. 11;6; James 1:5-9). Faith and prayer will move mountains, but faithless prayer will not move an ant hill.
