Letter fro Bro. Charles

5/4/2021

Dear Bro Robert,
Thank you once again for your faithful support and outreach! I love and appreciate you and the group !
I was blessed by Caliph and Whit’s testimonies. I believe your love for outreach has been contagious even in Kenya.
It is a joy to see that we have growing fruit In Kenya!
And I appreciate Whit’s outreach to the apartment complex. That is such a need and potential harvest. I believe there will be another awakening and it will happen in such places among people who see reality.
Of course, I also agree about the marriage issue. The family is the nucleus of society and both are in serious trouble . He is witnessing the results.
Please pass on my appreciation for Whit’s efforts and keep me posted.
Blessings,
CS

Heroes

5/3/2021

“Someone who found or achieved something beyond the normal range of achievement and who has given his life to something bigger or other than himself.”
“ Heroes inevitably experience at least one big failure which Campbell (author) calls an “abyss or belly of the whale” experience) that tests whether they have the resilience to come back and fight smarter with more determination . If they do, they have a metamorphosis in which they experience the fear that protects them without losing the aggressiveness that propels them forward.”

Honduras Testimony

5/1/2021

Thursday June 30, 2016: In the town of Pereira there was quite a move of the Holy Spirit. Next they brought to the team a teen age girl for healing who had been a deaf-mute her whole life. Whit wanted to engage the Honduran people in prayer so he had the elderly lady who had been prayed and healed of her hearing loss to pray. He wanted them to see that it was not just an American thing. She prays for the mute girl along with others. The girl went out under the power of the Holy Spirit. Some of the team members began to freak out who were from First Baptist in Rayville because they had never seen things like this. They began to wonder; "What if these people don’t wake up; we could be in a lot of trouble." With them worrying, Whit started worrying, he gets down on his knees talking to her and praying. He said that he should have had more faith. They got her up and asked Hellen the interpreter if she could hear. The girl's eyes were big; she tried to make a sound, "Yee." As they continued to pray for others, they brought the girl back to Whit; now she can't see. He knew that this was something demonic. He got angry; at that point his faith went through the roof. A holy boldness and courage came on him from the Lord. He began to speak in tongues, commanding whatever was going on to be gone by the blood of Jesus. She fell again under the power of the Holy Spirit. Outttt! Our good brother and sister Baptist couldn't believe that they would walk off and leave them on the floor and pray for others. Some wanted to go and get the first-aid-kit. When she got up she could see again.

Thursday June 30, 2016: In the town of Pereira there was quite a move of the Holy Spirit. The next person that the Lord touched through prayer in that service was a girl who had a tumor on her ankle. The team laid hands on the tumor and prayed. She had pain before they prayed; afterward it was gone. The translator said that the tumor was gone also.

Testimony from Caliph

4/26/2021

Dear Rev Robert
Blessings from Kenya and Africa. Our Good Lord has been gracious to us. We have seen His faithfulness during this 3rd Wave of Corona virus. Our faith is strong in Him alone. By his grace we were able to go witness to people and the Lord was present to confirm His Work. Their was this burial of a man who never attended any church since birth. So there was nobody to bury him. I was called upon to go and conduct burial 4 days ago. As I shared the gospel to almost 100 people in this case his relatives I made an altar call and 20 people gave their lives to Jesus Christ as their Lord and personal saviour. To Him alone be the glory. My car still is down. I need the grace of the Lord to have it back to the road again. God bless you for your constant encouragement and support.
Caliph Ndemo

Testimony from Honduras

4/24/2021

Thursday, June 29, 2016: Testimony from the Mission team in Olanchito, Honduras. Yesterday morning our group participated in a worship service where we saw some awesome things happen. In the town of Pereira there was quite a move of the Holy Spirit. A lady was healed of her hearing.

The team had not seen the miracles that they had hoped for but. Whit kept encouraging the team to keep pressing in and praying for healing. He had gone the back of the tabernacle and was praying, one of the team members Michelle came back to where Whit was and pointed out a young girl who could not hear or speak. Whit had not come to a place where he had seen this type miracle yet. He prayed for her and nothing happened. He became discouraged and went back to the back of the tabernacle and was asking the Lord why? "I am not seeing answers to prayer." The Lord spoke to him that in his prayer he needed to go into the second heaven and pray down any demonic hindrances that they were facing. He prayed that prayer to overcome those demonic forces. Twin brother, sister duo - Michael and Mandy Brakefield prayed and saw the first three people go out onto the floor as the power of the Holy Spirit hit them. Whit had never saying anything like this before; the Holy Spirit was breaking out. The translator Helen came up to Whit and pointed out an elderly lady that could not hear. Her son stood beside her and spoke to the translator. The son wanted them to pray for his mother. He anointed her and prayed for her, the Holy Spirit moves on this deaf lady and she falls to the floor. As she gets up; she was asked, if she could hear; she could, but in disbelief Whit continue to ask; if she could hear. She could!!!!!!!!! From there the move of the Holy Spirit was on.

Honduras Mission Trip Testimonies

The team had no idea that they would see the things that they saw on this mission trip. Jesus said go and I will be with you always even to the ends of the earth. It started at the beginning of the flight; as they were traveling from Houston to San Pedro Sula, Honduras. Hannah Bass received the word of knowledge for one airline flight attendant. As the flight attendant was serving, Hannah asked as she passed by their seat, "Ma'am do you have hip pains?" She looks at Hannah in disbelief wondering, "How does she know?" She answered, "Yes I do!" Hannah says, "Ma'am, may I pray for you?" The flight attendant was okay with Hannah praying for her. She stopped the cart and Hannah prayed for the flight attendant right there in the aisle. She was so moved by this she wanted to buy Hannah's lunch that day on the aircraft.

Leaving a Wake

Leaving a Wake

I was sitting, visiting with my pastor, Brother Charles Simpson sometime back. We were talking about different issues that affected our local fellowship. Brother Charles told me this story which happened many years ago. He had purchased a boat, quite large, which was located in Florida. In order to get the boat from Florida to Mobile Bay he hired a pilot who brought the boat along the intercostal canal. At one point; he asked the pilot, why are you going so slowly? The pilot answered as we move forward, we are causing a wake and I am responsible for the wake that I cause. If I travel too fast it could cause a large wake; I can be sued for the damage I cause.

Later as I pondered the story, it reminded me of the fact that whatever we do in life we cause a wake that affects the lives of others. Sometime this is good, and sometimes it is bad. In recent days as I have rethought this story my view of it has completely changed. Now it is, "How fast are we moving?" Are we causing a stumbling block for others to turn back? Paul writing to Titus said, "Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, always to be gentle toward everyone. (Titus 3:1 & 2)

This statement is one from Bill Johnson, Bethel Church in Redding California. Kingdom Culture is transferable into any venue. It is acceptable! Jesus is the desire of the nations. There is an inbuilt hunger in everyone for King Jesus. The Holy Spirit in us will make the Kingdom of God palatable to everyone if we can keep our egos contained. There are some religions in our society that are trying to impose their religion on everyone; they are leaving a trail of death everywhere. You convert, or you die! Is this presenting their kingdom of god to others in a way that is acceptable to the hearts? Or is it leaving a wake of fear and intimidation. You may say, this is absurd, I am not doing this!

Remember, we are to present the Kingdom of God in peace where it is acceptable to others because they have a longing for Jesus. We are not to present it in a way that causes a dangerous wake.

Testimony by Whit Bass

4/14/2021

Good morning Pastor,
You requested I share a testimony with you that took place last week.
I received a notification that there was a shooting at an Apartment in Monroe Louisiana. I drove out to meet with some of the staff out there to minister to them. One of the staff that I ministered to was struggling to rest at night after witnessing the aftermath of the shooting. So I was allowed to minister to this particular staff person.
Later a female resident walked up asking for ministry. She had also dealt with the aftermath of the shooting. However, as I began to minister to her she made me aware of a recent News story that aired that week. There had been three men charged with sex trafficking. She mentioned to me that two of those three men who had been charged with sex trafficking had trafficked her. So I was given the opportunity to minister to her and she was very receptive to this ministry.
The next resident had been grazed by a bullet during the shooting. She had actually watched the man struggle for his life after being shot and was having to live with those last moments of hearing him struggle for his life. I prayed with her to receive healing from the trauma and then led her to profess Christ as Savior along with her son and boyfriend.
Please continue to pray for these individuals and any others yet to receive ministry.
Whit Bass
