Below: Joshua Park in Nepal with
three believers who are overjoyed with the Audio Bibles sent to them from Full
Life Crusade. Brother Joshua delivered
them and came home with this picture.
The note the man is holding says: “Wesley, thank you so much!”
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.
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.”
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!”
Above: At his new 70-acre Training Center with Kenyan pastors and their Audio Bibles.
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!

Now reaching 69 nations!
“Greater love hath no man than this .
. .” (John 15:13)
Martha and Asher (my daughter and grandson) recently spent
two weeks in India at the Ankoor Children’s home. They led a team there to help in the
orphanage and get some exposure to another nation. By God’s grace they all returned home safely,
but there was one very, very close call when Martha was almost trampled by an
angry cow.
This is not the real picture of Martha and the cow. She was running so fast that she was not able
to take the picture, so I substituted this one.
We thank God that she escaped unscathed!
After Martha returned to Tacoma she sent me this picture of Diksha,
a six-year-old girl at the orphanage.
Our family immediately “adopted” her for the coming year. You, too, can “adopt” a child at the Ankoor
Children’s Home.
Just email: marthabergjones@gmail.com The child you choose will be housed in a
pleasant environment, receive food, clothing and a Christian education.

Peter and Linda Sims have been married for 30 years. They are an amazing couple. Peter is the oldest bull rider in the United
States. The Sims have adopted eight
children from various countries and raised them here in the United States.
Linda offered to pray for her . . . but then did something
way beyond “pray.” As she laid hands on
Karen the Lord spoke to her and said, “GIVE
HER ONE OF YOUR KIDNEYS!”
Without hesitating, knowing that she had
type “O” blood, Linda told Karen, “I will give you one of my
kidneys!” The rest is history: Linda and Karen are alive and well. Oh, boy, does this make the rest of us dig
spiritually? The first thing I thought,
“Would I do that if God asked me to
do it?” And what about her
husband, Peter? Would you allow your
wife to give her kidney to a total stranger . . . or to anyone?

Just as this newsletter was going to print, God allowed me
to witness the baptism of my youngest granddaughter, Rachel. At 6 years old,
she has decided to follow Jesus, and publicly acknowledge Him as her Savior.
Thank you so
much for helping us in our ministry.
In His
Service,
