Tuesday, April 14, 2015: I had a scheduled visit with Dr. Kevin Findley, who is my dentist. After coming into the charismatic movement one my first disciple was, Mickey Humphries; who later became the pastor of the largest charismatic church in our city. Mickey discipled Kevin Findley who became an associate pastor. Kevin credits me for being an influence bringing him to where he is today. He was telling his assistant this; I was not able to respond with grinding going on!

Testimony from Gary Lively

Tuesday, March 12, 2019: Testimony from Gary Lively.

A month ago, I meet Moe in the mall area of the church I attend in West Monroe. He was walking by me, we made eye contact and I stopped him. I wasn’t sure why but I understand the need for swift obedience from Yeshuah’s followers at times. Moe was not hard to pick out of a crowd, being tattooed from his wrist to his neck and one small facial tattoo. I began to encourage him and asked where he was from and what he did for a living. He was very open and seemed a bit broken as we talked. Originally from IL, he is an executive chef, very highly trained & had worked in many local restaurants. Moe had experienced some personal issues, ultimately made bad decisions that led him to lose hope and attempt suicide. As a result, he experienced a major setback in his work career. Out of work for a while he fell behind on bills. One day he arrived home from work and found a note attached to his door that required his attention regarding past due payments on a loan. He called the number on the card yelling and cursing at the constable. The next day a police office and the constable returned to submit a second notice. Moe went outside and confronted them and stated he was trying to get back on his feet but simply did not have any money. He began to become agitated once again and the officer asked him a very surprising question, “can we pray for you?” All three men went inside Moe’s home, grabbed hands along with Moe’s daughter who was in the house at the time. They began to pray, Moe began to weep and fell to his knees broken before Yeshuah. At that moment the Spirit of Living God came into Moe and he was radically transformed. I do not have enough time to tell you everything I have discussed with him in the past few weeks but I met with him Saturday at a restaurant in West Monroe for two hours. He wept while detailing his journey thru life always believing in a higher power but never knowing what to call him. He is now certain His name is Yeshuah (Jesus) and I experienced a hunger and passion rarely seen in a confessing Born Again(JN 3:3) man or woman. He had asked a pastor to meet with him to explain the history and teachings of Jesus but had no luck connecting. He text, me the next day to thank me and I told him I would spend time in the word with him. He is currently working two jobs and has a very busy schedule but I am meeting with him tonight. We will have coffee at IHop in West Monroe at 9:45pm and get into the word until 11:45 pm because he is hungry for truth. I like my sleep but I love ministering and feeding the souls of the truly hungry more. Swift obedience pays dividends.

Malawi Mission Trip by Whit Bass

3/11/2019

AFRICAN MISSION TRIP TO MALAWI 2019Nkhotakota District, Dzaleka Refugee Camp and African Bible College were the three main locations we focused on during our stay in Malawi Africa. Trip leader Bruce Siegmund shared with the locals people of Nkhotakota District how the people located in this district on LAKE MALAWI became so concentrated on MUSLIM FAITH. Bruce said this began happening when the ARAB SLAVE TRADE arrived on the shores of Malawi during the early 1800s. The reason many Malawians joined Islam was in order to receive protection from becoming a slave taken. So today there is a focus to build a KINGDOM COMMUNITY along the Malawian Coast by partnering with a local Baptist Church and building on the founding Christian School there now to raise Christ Following families. The other focus Dzaleka Refugee Camp has so much potential for rescue and ministry of the DEFENSELESS. The ORPHAN and the WIDOW. So many of those I prayed with were orphaned or widowed who had ended up in this Refugee Camp of 35,000 displaced citizens who escaped war and personal atroictities. The nations primarily represented in these grounds are the DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO, RWANDA, BURUNDI, SOMALIA, AND ZAMBIANS.
One of the AFRICAN BIBLE COLLEGE locations is located in Lilongwe, Africa. This school has now agreed to partner with Bruce Siegmund in seeking solutions to help the Africans of Malawi. One story of interest involves a young man by the name of John Malepo. He escaped the Congo at a very young age after seeing his parents taken from their home and hearing their screams of being murdered by robbers. John’s home and property was very rich according to African standards since their family had received the home and property from Belgium land owners forced to turn the property back over to Africa. John’s story is sad yet inspiring all at the same time. John and his brother escaped to Dzaleka. John met Bruce in the year 2017 and a FOREVER relationship has begun. The Lord spoke to Bruce to become a father to John. Bruce has since been able to get others involved in helping John get an education at African Bible College. To Bruce’ knowledge John is the first person from Dzaleka to attend AFRICAN BIBLE COLLEGE. John now in his first year of college oversees 30 plus young people - a mixture of ABC (African Bible College) students and Dzaleka students called SOWERS. These SOWERS go out into the REFUGEE CAMP to minister to families there. I had the opportunity to lead a group of 5 young men - Sowers to make house to house visits to Widows and Orphans.

Testimony from Andy Magee

Tuesday, March 5, 2019: Testimony from Andy Magee
For the word of God is living and powerful…and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12
Stephen, working at a coffee shop, was approached by Johnny who tells him that he recalled seeing Stephen in the gym about four months ago approach a lady asking her if he could pray for her. She declined, but this event impacted Johnny. Johnny then begins a conversation with Stephen about God. He has many doubts about Christianity and tells Stephen that he is angry at God about his sick wife, about hypocrisy, and about how unfair life is. While sharing, Stephen is praying to God asking Him for a word that could penetrate Johnny’s heart about God. In the midst of this conversation, Stephen receives a word revealing to him that all of Johnny’s talking points surround the fact that he is searching for something. When asked about this, Johnny responds that it is because they were talking about this Christian stuff. Pray for Johnny that he will know our Lord Jesus Christ.

Day 4 from Whit Bass

3/9/2019

SUNDAY - DAY 4

5 MORE SALVATION'S (15)
I was asked to preach with 5 minutes notice SUNDAY Morning. I was able to use Muslim convert “Rafael” as my sermon illustration. I was moved with compassion as I talked about how much Jesus loves him to send me from America to share Christ’s LOVE with him at just the right time on the road. I had our whole team pray for their church members and then the CHURCH prayed for each of our team. I shared about the meaning of PROVIDENCE - The making of preparation of the future by making current investment. How we are to pay forward what we have already received from the Lord.

At the end of the msg I made an appeal for any to be saved. 5 more stood for SALVATION.
On our way back home, we stopped by the same GAS STATION that we had stopped at on our way to the village. On my way in (our first time to stop) I was able to pray for a young man - Francis. His ear was discharging and in pain. When we went back by the same gas station a young man I had prayed with “Emmanuel” said that he hasn’t been the same. We prayed for his destiny and a mighty enduing of POWER. He said he was filled with joy.

So.... I also met a young lady working at this Gas Station who said she had a head ache. So, I called “EMMANUEL” over to pray for her headache. Sure, enough he did and her headache left immediately. Then as we were leaving the station, they requested bibles. So, we plan to get some Bibles by there.

Emmanuel praying for the headache to leave.
Our 3 days of visits were filled with Salvation's and healing's. I will refer to these visits as POWER EVANGELISM.
Our first day Out - Pastor Gracious and I first stopped to pray for his wife Joyce. He said she was not feeling well. That she Needed her strength to return. UPDATE SINCE WE PRAYED FOR HER - Joyce is feeling very better and she has strength and power. Today she went to the farm of maize. Distance about one km. So, this awesome and great. Thank God for everything.”
Our next visit was to a woman - Atiyana - whose husband is incarcerated- we prayed for her to have provision. Emmanuel praying for the headache to leave.
These Testimonies are from my trips out into the Village on Lake Malawi (Where there are many Muslims) I felt that I was to be paired up with the local Pastor - Gracious - to go out and minister each day visiting families. Pastor Gracious and I with children.

Day 2 by Whit Bass

3/7/2019

DAY 2

We met Pastor Gracious’ Aunt who was healed of HIV from a previous trip - she was prayed for by Trina and Edie.
I discipled her on the importance of her praying for others to be healed as she was a recipient of healing.
I also Prayed for another lady’s marriage She Had unforgiveness we prayed about this. For pain to leave her stomach. The Pain left.

SALVATION #8
A young teen girl named HELEN age 15 was lying down sick of stomach and headache pain. She Had been sick for some time. AFTER we prayed for her healing and she received it - she then received Christ as her SAVIOR!!! Many of her family members are still lost so pray that she leads them to Christ. Helen walked over to attend church Sunday morning for the first time. We got a pic with her.

Later on, Day 2 a young man brought his wife to the seminar after the marriage seminar. His Wife Emory has been in pain since NOVEMBER - the pain has moved from her back to her feet and then to her breast and stomach. We prayed for her to be healed. She said there may have been a witchcraft curse on her so we prayed for the curse to be broken as well. The Pain left her stomach and breast.
We later led a time of prayer for one of the local leaders. We Prayed for a death curse to be broken.

DAY 3
We prayed for an elderly widow’s eyesight and knee pain. She got immediate relief in her legs and said her eyesight improved.
We then Met with a Muslim man and his family. He Said he wanted to meet me in private to talk. He never followed up. Please pray he gets slammed by the HOLY SPIRIT.
We had a treasure hunt (where you ask Holy Spirit to give you an image) and we paired up with a partner after we prayed and asked the Lord to give us a picture. My picture that I got was a lady carrying an object on her head. My partner Patricia - also saw a lady w a child on her back. I also saw a lady with a tear rolling down her cheek. This leads us to

SALVATION #9
Well I saw a lady who was carrying a hoe on her head. We stopped her. She was heading to the same village we were going to - we had planned to meet Chief Kapanga #3’s grandmother. The lady with the hoe on her head had a little boy who was bleeding from the Male organ. As we began to interview the mom, we discovered she had been involved with black power / witchcraft. She renounced the witchcraft and professed Christ as Savior after we prayed for the boy.

Testimony from Whit Bass

3/6/2019

Her brother walked over. He renounced his involvement of black power and Professed Christ as his Lord and Savior.
SALVATION #2
The next stop was at the home of a young man - JAWADUZIBERU - he was wearing a larger bone necklace. Pastor Gracious told him the bone had a dark meaning behind it. He also had stomach pain. We prayed for his pain to leave. He was healed and then professed Christ and renounced witchcraft and threw the necklace away. He then renounced alcohol and cigarettes.
UPDATE RECEIVED TODAY FOR JAWADUZIBERU - “He thank God for wonderful healing. Since the day we prayed to him, no desires of alcohol and cigarettes. No more stomach problem”
SALVATION #3 MUSLIM
As we were leaving the home of JAWADUZIBERU we saw 2 men walking towards us. I asked Pastor if we should talk to them. He said he thought they were from a village further away. I said let’s invite them to the Marriage Conference we were hosting later that day. As it turned out RAFAEL and KESSIM were both Muslim. They allowed me to pray for them and after we prayed, we invited them to the seminar. Then later that day he attended. To my surprise RAFAEL came for prayer after the marriage seminar- He confessed his struggles with Alcohol and Cigarette use. A Malawian Pastor and I led him in a prayer to profess Christ. We then had him renounce a SPIRIT OF BONDAGE - specifically to Alcohol and cigarettes - then I prayed for him to be endued and clothed with Resurrection power. We then led him to renounce Islam since we were renouncing a spirit of bondage.
Later the next 2 days he came back to see me. The next day I was leading a prayer session with Dr David Wheeler - and could not see him. So, pastor Gracious and Bruce Siegmund prayed for his grandmother to be able to be strengthened. She was immediately better. The next day I was able to meet with RAFAEL and he wanted me to know that he has lost all desire to drink or smoke. So, RAFAEL came Sunday morning and I was asked to preach 5 min before time by Pastor Gracious. Bruce said he didn’t even know I would be preaching. But I made RAFAEL the central illustration of my msg - of Gods Relentless love of him to align our paths.
SALVATION #4 and #5
The next family we visited was a WIDOW named MARGARET who was a younger lady. She has 4 children that range from age 20 down.
We led MARGARET to Christ and then she renounced witchcraft participation.
HER SON JOHN age 17 also prayed to receive CHRIST.
SALVATION #6 and #7
2 Young men Alexander and Gracious - received Christ while many children stood around to watch. We were not in a home but standing in the village. There May have been aboutv20 children watching.
On our way back to our base - we stopped to say hello to Chief Kapanga #3. We asked if we could pray for him. He said he had a ringing noise in his ears. We prayed. The next day Jerry Yarborough joined us on our going out. When we went to the Chiefs home to follow up, we ended up finding out that his ear had improved. So, I asked Jerry to
Pray for him this time. We found out the next day his ears were no longer ringing.
Before reaching mission base we also prayed for Chief Kapanga # 2 shingles to be healed. Today (4 days later) Pastor Gracious says “My grandmother is showing great improvement - she come with atesmony this morning. Before she was not able to go to the garden but yesterday afternoon, she manages to do work.”
