AMAZING PLACES

                       Kali Gandaki Gorge in Nepal: 
              The deepest gorge in the world: 19,685 feet!


    This gorge is between Annapurna (26,545') and Dhaulagiri (26,795').   Hold on tight!

One of the absolutely wonderful things about being a missionary for these past 47 years is being able to experience first-hand the beautiful handiwork of our God.  Everything else is pretty boring compared to exploring far away places like this.

The Mountain Region, situated in the Great Himalayan Range, makes up the northern part of Nepal. It contains the highest elevations in the world including 29,029 foot high Mount Everest (Sagarmatha) on the border with China. Seven other of the world's highest mountains are in Nepal or on its border with China: Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Kanchenjunga, Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Manaslu.  80% of Nepal’s 27 million people are Hindus, so the gospel of Jesus Christ is much-needed in this far-away nation.  Only 1.4% are Christians.

I will never forget when Pastor Pradhan drove Primrose and I to the summit of Tiger Hill so we could see Mt. Everest and Kanchenjunga.  One of the side benefits of being a missionary to the world is being able to see first-hand the wonders of our God!  Pray for the people in this small and remote nation.  And pray that the Audio Bibles will be mightily used by the Holy Spirit---especially among those who cannot read.

Brother Joshua has spent most of his life ministering in the Far East, especially among tribal groups that have been neglected.  Some of these places are so remote that they are very difficult to reach.  Joshua and I share the same vison of “going to the hard places.”  But a strange thing took place in Joshua’s life just a few months ago.  God spoke very clearly to him and told him,  “Go to Kenya, Africa.”

One of the things I admire so much about the South Korean Christians is their eager willingness to obey the Lord, even if their natural mind tells them something else.

And so he went . . .

While he was in a very remote part of Kenya he met an old man who had been doing missionary work there for many, many years.  Joshua did not know this, but the man was becoming so feeble that he was about to retire . . . and had been praying about turning his life-time work over to SOMEONE.  Of course, he wanted to give it to a very faithful man.

Shortly after meeting Brother Joshua the Lord spoke clearly to him:  “This is the man!”

So when Joshua returned to the United States and was giving us the report about his trip he was able to tell us that God had not only done some wonderful miracles in Kenya as he had preached the gospel . . . he had also given him 70-acres  fully furnished with buildings!   Pray that this teaching center will be mightily used by God.

God took me to Kenya two different times.  Space will not permit me to tell all the wonderful miracles that took place over there.  But I will mention one special gathering in the remote village of Chuka.  Normally, we hold the big crusade in the afternoon, and then a smaller meeting at night.

But the “smaller meeting” turned out to be huge.  We could not figure it out, because the people normally are afraid to come out at night for fear of violence.  Finally, we got to the heart of the matter.  A 12-year-old girl, deaf and dumb from birth had been in the afternoon meeting.  Even though I had not prayed for her . . . as I taught and preached God’s powerful Word . . . she was instantly healed.  And . . . although she had never heard her native language before, she immediately began speaking fluent Swahili.  Only God can do this!

                    If you know anything about Africa . . . word got out fast.

                                                                  And Jesus was glorified!

Thank you so much for helping Full Life Crusade take the good news about Jesus to the uttermost parts of the earth.  What a privilege it is to tell people about Jesus!
