  http://www.philadelphia33.org/ Precious Brothers and Sisters in the Lord. It is Sunday Morning here in London. Time: 8:20am. / As I have decided to spend most of the day in prayer for all who are in need, The Holy Spirit has put an urgency to share with all who are Prayer warriors a deep truth found in Gods word about his part in answering our prayers for those whom we pray For. JOB 22:30- “I will deliver those for whom you pray for”. This is from the {Amplified Bible}, which is one of the few that gives an accurate interpretation of the original text. [Please take note: Not all bibles are accurate. The king James is still the best, but a few others have been so watered down that they make the true meaning of the scriptures weak. Remember its not about personal taste here. It’s about the true undeleted word of God. So I do use the Amplified, alongside the King James Version] Job 22: 30 I WILL CHANGE ALL THOSE FOR WHOM YOU PRAY. This should give each one of us great confidence and excitement, as we stand before God Interceding for our precious friends in their times of need. Our Heavenly Father assures us that If we Intercede on their behalf, that God himself will hear and change their situation, Circumstances and bring them out stronger than what they were before. Beloved. Its not long winded prayers that gets Gods attention. it is your level of Faith and understanding of his will. Its Not your tears that moves him, It is Faith. / Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarded of them that diligently seek him. Jesus constantly encourages us to pray. to our heavenly Father. But In every case he assures us that God will answer us and grant us the request. / John 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. / Mat 21:22* And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Intercessory Prayer is often not a ministry that is open to all to see. often it is in the quite Prayer Closet, or out of reach of others who cannot see or hear you. But God does hear you. HE HAS PROMISED YOU THAT HE WILL CHANGE, DELIVER, SET FREE, SUPPLY ABUNDANCE OF GRACE AND FAVOR, HEAL AND TURN SITUATIONS AROUND TO THE BENIFIT OF ALL, When we Intercede. This ia an office, a Ministry that God desires to grow within his church [The Body of Christ]. The Church is not a building that many call Church. The Church is the Body of Christ here on earth, . You are am member of His body. / Eph 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. You are the one he wants to stand in the gap. The one who he waits to hear and the one he has promised to answer when you pray. Sadly today many within the Christian ministry seek the visible and noticeable ministries. The Preaching and teaching, ministries. This is good as they are greatly needed. But Intercessory Prayer is much in demand. I don’t want to take up much of your time her, but I feel led by God to share with you a experience the Lord revealed personally to me. In my days as a baby Christian I would spend almost all of my prayer time asking God for the things I needed and desired, as the Word of God revealed them to me. For Years I would pray and still not receive all that was requested. But I continued to seek God. Serving God for over 15 years without even the money for a plane ticket to travel to the people of Africa where God sent me was not living in His abundant provisions. Yet at these times he would always send those whom he had handpicked to meet my needs and also to bless them in their obedience in giving towards his minister and work. Then Through JOB 22:30 Amp Bible] He opened my eyes to the benefits of praying for others. I started to bring people before him each day, and I saw the changes that God had made in their lives. Family Members, Church Members, Neighbours, even those who had lied to me and let me down. God changed them. Many are saved today and did not know that this little Evangelist was praying for just that. Beloved, I have had an angel pay my hotel bill. I shook the hand of an angel several times. I have held the hand of Jesus, and had people I did not know sow seed I to Gods Work in Africa. I pray daily for the souls of the extreme poor villagers and the sick and hungry children here at home. I see the Grace and Favour of God manifest each time I Go on Mission. I speak words of Life into the dry barren hearts of the nation and its people. Each time I go, I have the confidence that God has been working and preparing the hearts of all who will come in contact with me, to receive his son Jesus as Lord and Saviour. / John 6:44* No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. / I intercede for each man woman and child. I see the results just as he has promised. Beloved. We have had all the great preachers preach and today still preach and teach. God Bless them as they continue to win countless souls for God. But Preaching is not enough. We need to learn to intercede and how to Pray for others. I need your Prayers of intercession and Where led by God financial seed. It is your Intercessory Prayers that Make mission work so sweet and successful. Conclusion / The lord has indeed opened a great door of Opportunity to reach the lost and intercede for those in need. When you look away from yourself and pray for others, God will change them and in doing so he changes you also. Your needs are met in Christ. Not all have come to this level of understanding. Let us bare one and other up in prayer. Hold someone’s hand today! Stand beside them in Faith. Pray also For Olga and the team at Living Christianity. They are placed here by God to help and encourage all. LIVING CHRISTIANITY IS GOING TO EXPLODE WORLDWIDE!!!! Evangelist Trevor Irwin. http://www.philadelphia33.org/*

  http://www.philadelphia33.org/ Jesus He called my name. For all who are Christian, those who have been born again and received Jesus as lord and Saviour, there was a time when you heard Jesus Call your name. A time when you knew that The Lord loved you and wanted your heart. This is what I mean when I say He called my name. for those who have read my personal testimony, you will know that he called my name. When I was a chronic Alcoholic, gambler and one who practiced witchcraft. *. Due to the requests of friends I have met via Redbubble, I have decided to share with you, how the lord called me to serve him in Africa. A call to service. [As the Lord lives and is true and holy, I certify that what you are about to read is a true account of how Jesus called me into Missionary Service. This is still as fresh in my memory today as it was when this incredible event took place in my life] On Friday 26th August 1994, I was troubled in my spirit all day. I sat and watched Television and read a book, but yet I felt God wanted to speak to me, but I did not know what he wanted. So my wife said to me that I should just go to the park and pray. It was 6.05pm in the evening when I arrived at the park, and I parked my car and started to walk around the park. / I was walking and looking at the swans on the pond and praying at the same time. Then with not warning at all, I became aware that someone was walking close behind me. I did not look back, but knew someone was behind me. I continued walking along a narrow footpath and as I did I felt a person’s hand holding mine. There was no fear or indeed any desire to look to see who this was that was holding my right hand. / It was very strange looking back now to why I did not want to see who it was. This would have been anyone’s reaction at the time. I felt warm and at peace, not knowing that It was *Jesus who was the one actually holding my hand. I was Praying in the Spirit [speaking to God in the gift of tongues]. Then Jesus said my name, Trevor. It was the softness and Love in his voice that caused me to look and as I say my Masters face, I knew that It was him. He did not need to tell me it was Jesus. When Jesus comes to you my friend, you won’t need any introduction or explanation, for you will know it is the King of kings that has called your name. In an instant tears my friend flowed down my face, and I was crying like I have never cried before. My emotions were overwhelmed with sadness and sorrow, because his eyes were filled with tears also and he was quietly weeping. Here was my Jesus holding my hand and he was crying. I could not understand why I was not jubilant with Joy. His sorrow pierced my very fibre of my being. By now, I was transported away from all consciousness of being in the park on a bright summer evening and we were in a dark place. The Only way I can describe this pace is to use a well as an example. Imagine a deep round stone well, empty, and you are at the bottom of it. It is very round and very wide. So can hardly see the other side of it, and you can just make out the huge stones that form the round sides of it. It’s dark at the bottom and you cannot see any light, except the light that emanates from Jesus Garments. This is how it seemed at that point. As I Gazed into his face, he spoke these words to me. / “Trevor, My Son, I want to show you something, do not be afraid my son for I am with you”. There was a short silence as these words took hold of me. He gently squeezed my hand and began to walk forward in this dark place. As we went forward, he was still weeping, and I could hear voices in the distance and different kinds of noises, like doors opening and closing, and A smell that I had never experienced before. I was crying as the Passion and sorrow of Jesus seemed to flow into my heart. It was so hard to carry such sadness and I have never experienced this before or after. Then I began to see people at my left side and all were chained to the walls and terrible sores were all over them, and all were shouting things at Jesus. I could not make out what they were saying, but Jesus was crying and weeping. The smell was terrible and there were some that when they say him cried as well. As we went forward the light that was so white lit up the side and a little ahead. The place was so big and wide I could not see the other ends. Then he again spoke to me “Trevor my Son, Do not be afraid”. I was scared, but his words just melted away any fears I had. We then came to a place where I saw am Casket alone and as we walked pass, a man spoke and said “Jesus, Why have you let me come here?. Jesus with tears answered him and said “Judgement has been set”. Again the man shouted at him and started to explain to Jesus that he was a pastor and that all his life he served Jesus and Preached and give to those in need. Jesus said again to him, “Judgement has been set”. / / All the time Jesus was weeping and I was looking at Jesus all the time, and I never did see the man, but knew he was a man, because of his voice. Again the man pleaded with Jesus and told him many other good things he had done and as he was talking, Jesus raised his other hand and stopped the man from speaking. Then Jesus said to the man, “ I sent you warnings, I sent messengers to warn you and you did not repent, for the woman you slept with was not the wife I had given you, and you died in your sins, therefore Judgement has been set”. Jesus was very sad, and began to lead me further into this dark and cold place. Then we came to another place like a very large open place with walls so thick and wide and there were like empty prison cells all around. One cell stacked upon another and I could not see where they ended, and they were so high. Then Jesus knelt down on his knees and was now crying and I could feel his body shaking. All this time he was still holding my right hand. I stood beside him with tears flowing down my face and my heart was breaking with compassion and sadness for my Lovely Lord Jesus. I then knelt down beside him and wanted to hold him close, but I was so troubled to see My Lord cry like this. Then I asked him the only question I asked through all of this. “Lord, why are you crying, there is nobody here?. In what seemed like a long time we both cried and cried. Then still kneeling, Jesus looked deep into my eyes and said, / “This Place is prepared for all those who do not know my name”. / As I looked all around, I now could hear screams and fluttering wings and rustlings above our heads high above where we were. I saw in the darkness shadows of what I can only describe as winged demons, hellish beings flying about. Jesus was weeping so hard and as he stood up, I was still on my knees. He looked into my face and said to me “My Son, Go to Africa, to the villages and proclaim my name among the people, Go tell them who I am and that I love them, and I will be with you each step you take” Then Again suddenly, as if no time passed, I was back in the park. The first thing I became aware of was that I could not feel his hand in mine. I cried and begged him to come back again, and I remember saying Lord there is so much I want to ask you. The Holy Spirit then opened the eyes of my understanding and I realised that God had allowed me to have a vision where Jesus came and called my name. Where he had appeared to me and called me for service. I was deeply shaken and all they way back to my car, I was worshipping my lord in tongues [heavenly Language]. How I drove home, I do not know, and as I told my wife and we both just praised God and give thanks. I told my pastor the following day Saturday 27th August 1994, and the response are you sure it was Jesus. I was upset and few in the church the following day had any encouragement. So On Monday 27th August 1994 I went to my local travel agent and asked how much a ticket would be for Uganda. As a boy in School we had a visiting teacher from Uganda. I marvelled at the little round huts they lived in and the photographs she showed us was amazing. So I settled it that Uganda was the place God wanted me to go. The ticket was £530.00. I had no money so I sold my car. I was determined to get to where Jesus sent me and do what he told me to do. All this time and even now. I still see my Lord and the love in his beautiful eyes. Yes I still cry and know someday I will be with him forever. I Got the exact money from the sale of my car. It was then that the Church saw that I was committed to following my lords Commission. A Little money came in and I went to Africa on Saturday 24th September 1994. I arrived in a country where I knew nobody. I asked the taxi driver at Entebbe airport to take me to a Christian Guesthouse. He took me to marimba Guest house. That evening as I lay alone in my little room, a house girl knocked my door. She asked if I would like to attend a church. I was so happy. The following Day I who knew nobody was preaching to a Church of Over 2000 people. That evening I was speaking at Chief of Police Wedding anniversary, and in that audience were Government officials, and others. The following week I was given a small house to live in free of charge, a Vehicle and driver, and the mission to extreme poor and isolated villages was born. Since that time I have dedicated my whole life to Preaching the Gospel in remote areas of Africa, South India and have never had a salary. I have trusted and depended on God to meet my needs and that of my family. There have been and still are difficulties in rising the cost of Travel, But God always blesses me with Good people whom he has given a passion and heart to pray for these precious children and to sow financially into his work. This is how the Lord called me to service. I pray It will bless and inspire you. Thank you to all who have asked me how God called me to be a missionary without having a job to fund it. Isa 49:5 [COMMON ENGLISH BIBLE] Even before I was born, the LORD God chose me to serve him and to lead back the people So the LORD has honoured me and made me strong. Evangelist Trevor Irwin.

  What Love is?. Countless numbers of people, from young to old, from Atheist to Christian, from all walks of life, have asked this question. Many have pondered this question at one time or another and come up with many explanations to What is Love. Some say I am in love, or I feel love, or I must be in love. Love is more that just a feeling, more than just a desire, and often Love is not what that person feels at all. It is my intent here to address and answer the question what is love?. What love is Not. 1. Love is not a strong sexual feeling or physical attraction to someone or something. 2. Love is not something that dies after some time, or switches on and off. 3. Love never seeks to destroy, wound or hurt anyone. 4. Love never blames or condemns. 5. There are those who say they Love God, yet in his name murder and kill men, woman and Children, with Gun, Bullet and bombs. This is not Love. I am sure many readers can add their own views and beliefs of what love is not. But above are just a few of them. In our world today, so many teenagers become pregnant at such a young age, Children having Children, and often the father is nowhere to be seen. Many Say it was because they loved each other and it just happened. This is not love. Marriages and relationships that many thought were build on Love have broken in pieces. Good friends who say they loved each other have fallen apart and in some cases bitter feelings of hurt and resentment linger. Muslim extremists Claim to Love God, [Allah] Yet they do not know God or his Love. / The Church throughout History have massacred millions of people all in the name of the God whom they confess to love. At the Alter, men and woman take their marriage vows before God and the congregation. They promise to LOVE, honour and Obey each other. / Yet a little later in their marriage, they part for many reasons. But one reason I believe stands out more than any other and that is, They have not known real Love. The excitement of the intimate times of sharing each others bodies has become not so exciting anymore. The respect and Patience they ones had for each other has almost died. Some look for this in anothers whom they often call LOVERS. But True Love really never dies. / If they had real love before they married, If they had known what Real Love is, and the giver of real Love, Many today would still be together, and Children would not be caught up in the hurt. A NOTE ON MARRIAGE. Marriage is an institution created by God. It is a Holy Union where two people join together as one and pledge their lives to each other. Its not something to go through to satisfy man made laws. It is certainly not something to go through so as to have a big day and invite lots of friends and family. It is much more that this. Marriage is something more important that this. Although these qualities can make a wonderful day to be remembered, it is Much, Much more than all this. Marriage is a Holy union between a man and a woman. But before you can enter into this union with each other and God, You must first Know God. You need a relationship with God, and to Understand His Love. You need to experience his Love in your heart, and understand How God Loves. What Depths God went to show you his love and the cost to him. / When you have been touched by the God Love, then you will truly know What Love Is. Love is Power! When a man and a woman who have received Jesus Christ into their lives and made him their first love Stand before their God, They stand before him with Jesus Love in their Hearts. / *, speaks of the Born again person. God has spread his love abroad in your heart by Christ Jesus his son. So now you have His Love in you. This cannot be said of those who do not know God or has not personally Acknowledged Jesus as their saviour and Lord. NOTE. In spite of many not knowing God personally and his Love, when they take Holy Vows, God still Loves them and often Blesses that union, with Grace and Peace. Often this Couple find God and his love through Marriage. I am not saying here that all marriages are doomed, because people were ignorant to God and his Love. He is a God of Supreme Love. HOW DO I LOVE?. (Deuteronomy 10:12). And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul. This was the Old Testament commandment given by God to his people. To Love God with all your heart and with all thy soul. But man broke this covenant with God. He went after other gods and loved himself and the ungodly pleasures more that God. He chose hate, war, material riches and to love himself and others more than God. So Man broke this covenant. / Nothing much has changed today as we look around us. But Something has changed that has changed the lives of countless peoples all over the world. God sent His Son into the world. Man Cannot love God or each other in the way God wants them to. it’s the same with Salvation. You cannot earn it, or work for it. It is a Gift from God. You cannot Live by Gods word without having The Holy Spirit living within you, and the acceptance of Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. *You must understand the depth of Gods love for you. You need to understand The Sacrifice God made for you, so you could experience his Love in your Heart. / No living soul can Love with perfect love until Gods Perfect Love has been shed abroad in their hearts. Without Jesus, we cannot know what real Love is. HOW DID GOD REVEAL HIS PERFECT LOVE?. / (1 John 4:8) He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. I need to make it clear here that humans can show Love. It is something God has placed in us all. It is A choice we make. We limit at times our love to others. But what I am talking about in this message is not the human love with its limits. I am talking about perfect Love. [Agape Love-Gods love. Perfect love without limits. / (1 John 4:16) And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. / John 3:16-17 / (16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. / (17) For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Because of Gods perfect love towards us, he sent his son, Jesus, to take our sins, sicknesses and diseases upon himself, and be punished in our stead, so that through his death and resurrection, he could place his Love in our heart. To all who receive Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, they are born again. A new creation 2 Corinthians 5:17. All their past sins have been washed away in the blood Jesus shed, as an atonement for sin. The Moment you ask Jesus into your heart, you receive his forgiveness, and GODS PERFECT LOVE. As You continue to follow him, read his words, pray and trust him, his love grows inside you. It will empower you to love, those who speak all manner of evil against you, those to lie about you, those who have abused you and hurt you. Instead of hatred and bitterness you will desire that Jesus will save and change them as he did you. You will find yourself praying in tears and overwhelming love for them. Even God himself has said to you in JOB 22:30. “I will change all those for whom you intercede” [Amplified Bible]. When you are tired and run out of steam, you will find yourself compelled by Gods Perfect love, to going that extra mile to help someone in need! When a Son, Daughter, husband, wife, friend or anyone hurts you, you will not retaliate with bitter wounding words, because God Loves them and his love in you will indeed empower you to be silent and pray in your heart, knowing that God will bring a change in their lives just like he promised you in Job 22:30 [Amp bible]. LOVE IS. / 1. Pure and unselfish. It never seeks its own comfort or pleasure. 2. Love is kind and compassionate. 3. Love is patient and longsuffering. 4. Love is Considerate and Merciful. / 5. Love is warm and never cold. 6. Perfect love is God, For God is the author of Love. When God Allowed his son to be tied to a beating post, and receive the lashes of cruel whips. It was Love for you. When he experienced every sickness and disease upon his body it was so that you can be free from all sickness and disease. It was Because he loves you and wants you to be healthy. When they plucked the hairs from Jesus face, when they spate upon him, mocked him and punched him, he endured it because he loved you with perfect love. When They laid him down upon a cross and drove nails into his hands and feet, It was because he loved you. / When they lifted him up on that cross and he hung ther nine hours it was because he truly loved you and he know that he must pay te price for your salvation. He did not want you to be punished for the sin in your life so he in love took your punishment. THIS IS LOVE!. Yes my Friend, THIS IS LOVE!. It Was Love that took Jesus to the cross. It was Love that held him there and not nails. It was love that satan desired to kill, but he failed. Because Love rose from the grave and now that Same Love lives in your heart. THIS IS LOVE! Until you have this love sown in your heart by receiving Jesus as your Lord, You will never know how to love Gods way. I will close with the words of an old hymn. “O love that will not let me go, I give you back the life I owe, / That it might Richer, fuller be”. Receive Jesus today and learn to love Gods way.

  This message is inspired by a piece of art created by longball a great artist on Redbubble. IT IS FINISHED. Have you ever spent time and considered the last words of Christ when he was on the cross? What did he mean when he said it is finished? What did he achieve for all mankind? I want to share with you some deep truths and thoughts on the last words of Our Lord on the cross. It is my prayer that as you read, the Holy Spirit will grant you revelation Knowledge so that you to fully understand and comprehend this cry “It is Finished”. Matthew 26: 36-42. [In the garden of Gethsemane]. Before I explain the deep truths recorded in the last words of Jesus on the cross, let us go back a little to the garden of Gethsemane. The writer plainly states that Jesus was heavy in spirit. He was sad and heavily laden with cares. So he went to prey to his father. He know only to well what lay before him and he prayed these words. / “O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done”. / Jesus, before he could finish his work here on earth knew the price he would pay. But what caused him to be so heavy with fear that angels came and ministered to him? Why did he cry out with these words, He asked his father to spare him the suffering that lay before him. Yet he knew that it was necessary for him to suffer and become the sacrificial lamb. This cry was not borne from the fact he knew the beating post lay before him. You see Jesus Knew that they would tie him to a beating post and there he would be cruelly whipped. / (Psalms 129:3) The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows. / He knew that there at that beating post every stripe they lay upon him was the price he would pay for our healing. Understand this, He experienced in his body fully every disease that has been or ever will be. He felt the pains of Cancer as it ate away at his flesh. He cried as the crushing blow of heart disease reeked through his body. Blood diseases, Sicknesses of every kind. He actually experienced them all so we by his stripes can now be healed. He paid the price for our healing. Many had experience the beating post before him and after him. What was different about Jesus was that he took every sickness and disease upon himself. He pained and wreathed in agony for your right to divine health. But it was not the beating post that made him ask his father to remove it before him. / It was not the fact that he knew they would spit on him and pull the very hair from his beautiful cheeks. It was not the fact that they would drive nails deep into his hands and feet, nor was it the fact that he knew they would mock and revile him, strip him naked and place a crown of Jerusalem thorns upon his head. What was it that Jesus feared the most and asked his father to remove?. My Friend, in spite of all these terrible cruelties that lay before him, there was one thing Jesus feared more than all this. THAT WAS SERERATION FROM HIS LOVING FATHER. He was with God from the beginning of time. He never was separated from his Father before. But he knew that God is Holy and that he would not look on sin. Jesus knew what price he would pay for our redemption. [Separation from God]. Just as sin separates all people from God, so he to would be separated and experience the vast void between man and his creator. Jesus Would become a curse. / (Galatians 3:13) Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree. He would become sin. / (2 Corinthians 5:21) For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. / Just before Jesus Cried out “IT IS FINISHED” he cried another heart rending cry. (Mark 15:34) And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?. My God, My God, why have you forsaken me? / At this point The Father turned away from His dying son Jesus. Total serration took place. At this point Jesus was alone on the cross, and in his own words forsaken. What Sorry and terrible misery he went through was nothing compared with separation from his Fathers presence and his love. Now there was no one to strengthen him, no angels to comfort him and no Fathers loving arms to secure him. Alone and abandoned, Yet he cries in deep love towards his Father, My God, My God. Although separated he still loved his father. A son cries out to his father My God, My God! / After this he died. Friends when Jesus cried out “It is finished”, He paid in full the penalty of sins punishment. He alone was the only one that was counted worthy to do this. Angels were not worthy, only Gods beloved son. He did it all for you. If you were the only person in the word he would have done it for you. / That’s why I always tell people that, “There is a place in Gods heart for you, and only to can take that place”. He finished his work. He paid the price and now all men can be saved from Punishment, of sin and an eternity of suffering. He has now made all those who have received him as Lord and Saviour, Sons of God. Children of the most high, New creations, Yes Born again. Cor 5:17. His Blood not only washes away your sins, But because at the whipping post he took your sicknesses and deseases, He has saved you and healed you, If you are indeed born again. It does not stop there my Friend. As a child of god he has brought you into his Fathers inheritance! He has given you the legal right to Health and Prosperity. As He sis so are we in this world. *1 John 4:17. He has made you a King and Priest. Rev 1:6. You are more than a conqueror. He Lives in you, You reign with him. Because he lives you to live. For in him we have all. * (Acts 17:28) For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Jesus has secured all for us. If you have not received Jesus as Lord and Saviour, Please do so now. Just talk to him. Pray this Prayer, from your heart and He will forgive you and save you. He will live inside you. You will experience Love like no other love. You will hear him as he speaks to you through his word and Spirit. Prayer. Lord Jesus, I believe in you. I believe that you died for me, that You took my punishment on the cross, and that If I ask you to come into my heart you will. Jesus Forgive me as I have sinned. Pardon me, and wash away all my wrongs and sins. Come into my heart now. Open my eyes to who you really are and make yourself real to me. I surrender my life to you Jesus. Fill me with your life and make my life beautiful. Heavenly Father I receive Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Amen. I pray this will indeed shed some light on the words Jesus cried on the cross. IT IS FINISHED*

  I have received emails and several bubblemails asking several questions about funding and Poverty in Africa. I will endeavour to answer these questions in this document. I will address these issues raided by Dyle Warren, [SEE DYLE’s AWESOME WORK HER ON REDBUBBLE] DAYLE’S Questions and concerns I believe are the concerns of many so this is his bubblemail. / [I was wondering if you could answer a question about Africa that I have had for years. America and so many countries have come to their aid for decades and all my life Africa has needed help from other nations (CARE, UNICEF, etc.) because of disease and starvation. / Africa is one of the richest nations on Earth why doesn’t this country help themselves and tap into their own resources instead of having their hands out all the time? Don’t get me wrong, I am not trying to cause an argument but for the life of me I’ve never been able to understand this and they have had children starving for years. / Possibly you can enlighten me because honestly if a country won’t help themselves for decades and decades I find I have less and less sympathy for the country…..not the children. / Looking forward to your answer as I’ve never heard an answer for it… / Thanks, / Dyle] THE NEED TO HELP, AND WHY WE HELP. / The need for UNICEF, UNHCR, CARE and other organizations to help African countries is as Follows. These are only a few. / 1. Sickness and disease is killing millions each year. Famine, War and son on. / 2. African countries do not have the facilities or indeed the knowledge in some cases to better themselves. / 3. In certain African countries, Government does not have the money or the solutions to solve the problems. / These are only a few reasons why. Other reasons why US, UK and other countries contribute towards these countries is because other countries have a vested interest in gaining from these countries vast oil reserves, Gold, and other precious commodities, in return for humanitarian relief. Sadly world politics plays a part in who we help and how we help, and also what we get in return. WHY DO THESE RICH AFRICAN COUNTRIES NOT USE THEIR VAST WEALTH TO HELP THEMSELVES? / Many do invest in their countries infrastructure, economic growth and world trade. Nigeria, Uganda South Africa are just a few that do that. The problem is they often invest in oil production, gold, diamonds and other natural wealth. But Corruption, greed and favouritism among government officials have damaged this effort and much of the wealth goes into projects that do not help the suffering and extreme poor. War Disputes and other challenges have often marred good work. / Just like American or British members of Government, many loose touch with the real suffering of ordinary people, especially in deep rural and isolated villages. These members of Government are well paid and live comfortable lives. Few have ever experienced what it is like to have no food, or no hope of growing enough food. Most have never felt the pain of a mother watching her baby die, because she could not find enough food to eat, and her breast milk has dried up. / They have never lived in rural villages where the water they drink causes people to go blind, and others die in agony from intestinal worms. / They have not seen crippled children crawl on their bellies, because of diseases that could have been prevented. Many Government officials live in luxury, drive in government vehicles and fly first class, all paid by tax payers. Not all have lost touch, and do hear the cry of the suffering people within their borders. Others do care and know only to well the sufferings, but they are often discouraged and pressurised by senior members. / Loose and foolish words, years of tribal conflicts and cruel wars have all played a part in hindering their efforts in sharing that countries wealth with all its citizens. / I may seem very harsh here, but I have spent years working among the African countries, and experienced first hand corruption and self cantered projects. But in saying this, there are good People serving their people as best they can. / UNICEF, UNHCR and other World Governments have done tremendous work in Africa. Uganda used to be the most corrupt government in all Africa. This was a well known fact among NGO’s GOVERNMENTS and some smaller organisations. Now through Western Government intervention and help, Uganda is a thriving country. It’s Government has become stable and corruption has almost died. This has happened through United states, united Kingdom, DUTCH and other countries intervention. It still ahs a way to go yet, to reach its goals, but a great change has taken place. / Kenya is another African country riddled with corruption, yet it is changing through UNHCR, UNICEF and Western government intervention and pressure. So in short we do well. / STILL NEED FOR BETTER OVERSEA’S POLICIES. / One of the worst problems within western governments is its lack of wisdom and common sense. / Even today, American, British and other countries give Billions of dollars to African countries, via that African countries government. Here is the problem. Many spend the money on Business, and better world trade. But most do not invest in its people. While they spend millions on better roads and better airports, plus its military and other cosmetic projects, whole villages are wiped out through sickness and disease, Poverty. It is time for the western rich nations to look at better ways of funding the relief of suffering in Africa. Tighter rules need to be implemented and restrictions on how much they can spend on military budgets and Government officials salaries. / So you see there are a whole mixture of reasons why some African countries cannot or won’t give more of what they get from the rich west towards the ordinary people living in dire poverty. God Bless those who are honest and do what they can top alleviate the suffering. One of my biggest criticisms is the huge overheads and over exaggerated costs of SOME, not all of the big CHARITIES, NGO’s and well known relief organisations. What they need to remember is that most of their money is donated by businesses, and Ordinary people like you and I. They have no money of their own. It comes from Government grants , individuals and just ordinary people like us. Yet many receive over exaggerated salaries, and misuse the funds they have. UNHCR and others have donated 4 Wheel drives vehicles to many small grass root organisations, that do not need them, and use them for their own personal use. I speak from experience her, and have seen this for years. This is all money Tax payers have paid. Governments have used money for the wrong reasons.. Please do not misunderstand me here. I am not in any way saying all big organisations are in anyway like this. But they need to be held accountable to us here in richer countries. Not by fiddling the account books. They need to check on what is happening. The UNITED NATIONS needs to get their act together. They can do much better that what they are doing. Every department within the UN, need to improve. This is why I formed Philadelphia Mission in 1995. I returned from Rwanda and Uganda from Mission work. I wanted a Charity, build up of members who did not get a salary, or expense account. People who would work for the poor out of genuine concern and Love. Members who wanted to work hands on with the poor ,and live among them. This is what we do in Philadelphia Mission. Philadelphia Missions office is a converted room in my home. I don’t even own my home. Our Overheads are almost zero. All office equipment and materials are purchased and paid for by me and kind people who support our mission. / We use all money raised through donations, via our website, and any money raised through art that is purchased, to provide medicines, tools, machinery, training and projects that empower these people. / When it comes to making donations towards the extreme poor and needy, please choose an organisation where you know your entire donation is actually going to the poor, and where no percentage will be taken out towards that organisations overheads. If you want to cover overhead costs of an organisation, please ask to see the budget of what they received over several years, then look at the running costs and balance out for yourself if that organisation is using your money correctly. I do hope this will answer some of your questions. / PLEASE DO VISIT OUR AFRICA MISSION WEBSITE. / I have received emails and several bubblemails asking several questions about funding and Poverty in Africa.

  Please pop in and have a peep at My Africa mission Website. / http://www.philadelphia33.org/ Precious friends, as many of you will know I am returning to isolated and very remote villages in Africa on 9th October for three weeks. This will most likely be my last piece of writing before I leave London to travel to some of the most disadvantaged and poor in Africa. / Please continue to Pray and intercede for me and the Children of which Karl Bergerson of the UN called the Forgotten poor. ONE MINUTE TO MIDNIGHT. As I look at world new on TV, It is indeed heartbreaking to see India flooded, and again another Terrible Hurricane hit Jamaica and America. Soon like many the world’s peoples will forget these events, but not those who have experienced the sometimes terrible loss of loved ones and Property caused by such events. Soon other events will be headline news. Just a few months ago China had an earthquake / and Burma was almost wiped out. Yet today few talk about these events, except those who are caught up in its power. The governments of the word press on with their business and people get on with their lives. Here in London, The buzz word is the 2012 Olympics. I live close to where the new site is being developed and it is growing at a staggering rate, along with its budget. In America the forthcoming election of a new president is pressing on and we see and hear great people make great speeches. People throughout the world have and are electing leaders who they hope will make life better for them and so on. But in all their planning and predictions of a better future a better world, a world of peace and unity and exciting times and events ahead, they have in most cases left out a very important event that will take place and will affect very living soul on earth. It’s Called by many The Rapture. In Matthew Chapter 24 and Luke Chapter 21, Jesus reveals to us of what many call the end time signs. A series of events that will lead to the Calling home of the Church. Those who are born again, who have received Jesus as Lord and Saviour and live for him and he in them. / He speaks of Wars and rumours of wars, Pestilence and violence, famines, men being lovers of themselves more than God, Children turning against their parents. / Time of perplexity, [No way out] the Bible tells us that a loaf of bread will cost a days wages. This is already fulfilled in parts of our world. God warns of kingdoms divided and confusion, of world recession and false teachers and leaders. A time of great unrest and delusion. Matthew 24:22. and except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened. Because of his Church God has shortened the time. / I may seem like a prophet of doom here, but this is fact and is happening today. Russia, China and some Muslim nations will soon make their true feelings known against the Christian Nations. It is going to happen. The end times are fast approaching yet the world seems to be blind to what God has said and is saying. / A Scripture comes to me as I write this to you precious people. 1 Corinthians 1:20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?. / Leaders have come and gone. We have had many great philosophers and orators who could take words and make promises that would leave the hearer with hope would be nothing but empty promises. / God is about to do something that is so great and so mighty that when it happens and it will happen suddenly, will be seen of all peoples in every country throughout the world. “JESUS IS COMING BACK FOR HIS PEOPLE”. No man, No Government, No superpower and not even satan can stop this Glorious event!. / 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleeps in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. The Change is coming beloved. Some of you reading this will not see death. You will be alive when it happens. Those precious loved ones who have entered in rest, who have left this world with Jesus Christ as their Saviour, will someday soon be raised from their sleep. The Graves will be opened, even those cremated will take on a new glorified body and they will arise and meet Jesus in the air. Hallelujah!. / Paul says in the twinkling of an eye, that’s how fast it will happen. The world may conduct business as usual, but this one great event will put a stop to that. Your Born again Mother, Father, Son, Daughter, grandmother, Aunt, Uncle, friends will rise again, in bodies that are Sin free, Sick free and shine with the Glory of God! They shall ascend up towards the sky and meet with King Jesus. OH GLORY AND PRAISE AND ALL HONOUR BE TO GOD! What a day. This day will outshine any other day. We that are alive on that great day will be changed, in the twinkling of an eye, Instantly Transformed and will also head upwards to meet the dead in Christ, that have been raised and we shall be forever with our Lord. All that we have laboured for, our homes our wealth will have no meaning to us or value. It will all be left behind. We shall live in the fullness of Gods Beauty, bathed in his love and there will be no end to our joy. Hallelujah!. Acts 1:9-11. And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. (10) And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; (11) Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. He is coming back for us. WHAT SHALL WE DO THEN WHILE WE WAIT FOR THIS DAY?. Not all are called to be Apostles, Evangelists, Pastors, Teachers and Prophets. / Our ministry is to feed and strengthen the Church, among other duties and God gives special anointing to each one to empower them do his will. / But each believer also has been commissioned by God and empowered to win souls to Christ. Each one has a responsibility to share his Gospel with those who are Lost, hurt, in need and in pain. Each Child of God has received the Spirit of Jesus. We have all been commissioned by Jesus to be his witnesses. / Isaiah 43:10 & 12 – ACTS 1:8. God has made you his witness. Ephesians 6:20 for which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. You are Gods Ambassador. An ambassador represents his or her country. You are a citizen of Zion. You represent Gods kingdom, and you are an ambassador of God with Power!. Jeremiah 8:20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.. / There are many people, the number only God knows himself that are without Christ. men, woman and children who are blinded by the god of this world [satan] saving they should come to the glorious Knowledge of Christ. When they die they will go to a christless eternity and face Judgement and be condemned to a lake of fire. / You have the power and the answers to meet their needs. You have the Love of God and his wisdom to lead a tormented soul out of the grasp of satan and into the Grace and love of God. God has entrusted you my friend with his Gospel not only to bless you alone but to share it with someone else. Jeremiah 8:20 is so appropriate for this end time. The harvest is past, the summer is ended and we are not saved. This is a cry of the people throughout the earth. God has called you by name and commissioned you to reach the lost with his salvation. / On The day of the rapture we shall be called to meet him. But countless millions will be left behind to face the seven Trumpets and seven seals of wrath. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. It is Gods will that all should be saved. You have a part to play in Gods end time army. / I like many others have had the great pleasure of seeing many thousands of souls come to Christ through Crusades and meetings. I have seen the Lame walk and blind see. I have heard Demons scream as I cast them out in the mighty name of Jesus. I thank God for many who have come to know Him through me. I rejoice with the great men and woman who have separated themselves to god for the purpose of winning the Lost. Yet my Friends it’s not the big numbers that have come to Christ though my preaching and teaching the word of God. For to win just one soul to Jesus is of great value to our Lord. / I weep my friends deeply weep inside, when I think of the missed opportunities i let go by when i was to busy or disobedient to talk to someone about Jesus. When I walked by the tramp on the street, the drug addict, the Prostitute, my work colleagues, Neighbours, Family friends, the lady at the shopping mall, the attendant at the gas station, the person beside me on the plane. I asked myself how I would feel when I get to heaven and I see all those whom I won to the lord. Great numbers of them. Then The Lord asks me to look behind me and I see all the multitudes that I could have witnessed to and did not. To see them barred from heaven. / I encourage you Friends to speak to just one persona at least every day about our Lovely Jesus. It is one minute to midnight and time is running out for many. When the clock strikes midnight, and our lord calls us up to be with him, there will be no more opportunity to warn the people left behind. Not more open doors to share our lord’s great love and compassion. Friends, Watch and wait for this soon great event. But while you are waiting, share Jesus with someone. so on that day they can be with Jesus to. Amen. I will be returning on Mission to Africa on 9th October where I will join our small team in Africa. Please pray for me and the mission staff in Kujama, and the Lords work. / Until I leave I am always here for you on redbubble. feel free to write to

  Greetings precious Friends. I am so excited and blessed, so this is just an update, as I must share what the Lord is doing. Over the last 2 weeks god has and is building an army of precious people like you who are moved and led by his Holy Spirit to Pray for me, the October Mission and the extreme poor and sick villagers in Africa. God hears you and is answering your Prayers. Praise God!. Bubblemails are coming in fast and I am deeply humbled by those who have said they are praying for me na dthe work of our Lord. One sister touched me so much. She explained that she was crying as she looked at the Photographs of the hungry and suffering people the Lord has called me to help. Then she said and I Quite: I have no money to sow into this work, as I am poor, But I will Pray that The Lord will bless you with many who has and that all the money needed will be provided, I know My Lord and He always anserd my Prayers”. Sister the Lord will Prosper you as you intercede for me and the poor. Another Sister wrote and said she to is deeply touched by the lord as she looks at the Photographs, and explained that her two sons and her Son in law are Doctors. She asked me if It was better to donate drugs for treatment, or to make a financial donation. I explained that It was much better to make a donation, as we can purchase the drugs cheaply in Abuja. Also we have had real problems with customs and government when we had a shippment sent out before. corruption and greed took almost half our supply. So We now purchase them from aChristian Pharmacy in Abuja. A Brother from New york has just made a donation of $5000 towards the Tractor. Praise God. A sister has mad e several donations over the past two months. GOD IS HEARING AND ANSWERING YOUR PRAYERS. We have has challanges with muslim extremists and our small mission centre was attacked last Friday. our Staff were very frightened. But God stepped in. Our Muslim Neigbours and new converts beat them away and that evening around 100 Muslims joined our evening prayer service!!!! I am invited to meet the emran and other leaders when I attend in October. last Time many were saved and many were healed, including a 2 year old girl, dying from Malaria. Keep on praying and sowing seed into this mighty work of God. I thank you for your support, Finance and Prayers. Please Please Please, do not feel bad if you cannot sow a financial seed into the mission. God see’s and understands. He will meet your needs and you will see for yourself, that you will have a great supernatural Provision from the hand of God. I love you all and wish I could give you all a big Hug and a Holy Kiss. Your broter in Christ and Friend. Trevor. Mission Website: / http://www.philadelphia33.org/

  Greetings my precious friends. I am so thankful to all of you who are a constant encouragement to me and the people in isolated villages on Africa. Please continue to pray for me, the people in the photographs and each other. GRACE UPDATE. I made contact with Mission Staff in our Mission Centre today Sunday 16th November. I also spoke to one of our heath workers in Tunga/Zuga village where Grace lives. Thanks to A special redbubble friend, who donated £60.00 toward medicines to treat grace, We started treatment on Wednesday 12th November. Grace is still very ill and response to the medication is slow. but Praise God she is fighting the illness, and God is healing her!.

I have many more Photographs of Grace, but do not want to weary viewers with her. if you want to see more of Grace, please bmail me and I will upload more. Please do pray for Grace.

  FULL MISSION TO AFRICA REPORT*. link to my Africa Mission Website: / http://www.philadelphia33.org/ Mission to Africa – Full Report. First I would like to thank ALL of you who have been praying for me nad the Lords work in Remote villages in Africa. Also I would like to thank all who have donated art, bought Art and made donations via our Charity website. / Thank you all who have encouraged me with so much love and comments on my work and photographs of previous missions and this latest one. I pray God will as he has promised prosper and reward each and every one of you. I give a special Thank you also to REDBUBBLE. For giving me a platform to share with the world, the plight of extreme poor in rural and isolated villages in Africa. I have now read the notes and watched most of the videos taken and can now give a full report. I will endeavour to keep it short. LOL. GOD REACHED OUT AD TOUCHED MANY SOULS!. In every village we went to Men woman and children received Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. My team counted 872 precious people give their hearts to Christ. 94 Muslims and 6 Witchdoctors. This is what we could count. I am sure many more opened their hearts to Gods love and forgiveness. It’s not many thousands like the Billy Graham, Benny Hinn or Morris Carrillo meetings. But these souls were in isolated villages in often forgotten places. We prayed at home here in London and many throughout the world that God our Father would draw many to receive his son Jesus. John 6:44. No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. GOD HEALS AND SETS THE CAPTIVES FREE!. 15 precious people were healed with visible evidence. 7 Children were healed. 1 boy was deaf in one ear and received his healing. 2 more children were healed from Malaria, 3 girls received healing. One was blind in one eye and now can see. I baby close to death was completely healed and is now fine. / One old lady received her sight as I was ministering in a small village. A Young man with a large growth on his leg was instantly healed as I and the team prayed and worshipped the Lord. And a special memory for me, a mother who had unhealed open wounds caused by a cycle accident had a terrible fever as the wounds were infected. When She showed us a few wounds, the were raw, open and smelled so bad. I prayed with her and told her to believe that Jesus was going to heal her right there. I did not notice any real change that evening. But the following night at the village crusade, she was there and this time she was jumping up and down and there was no more open and smelly wounds. PRAIS E GOD!!!. She also brought many others with her, who knew her condition and saw here healed. I preached in Muslim villages by request of the village heads. I spoke at Koi, where the first missionaries arrived over 100 years ago as guest speaker. I married my first couple in Africa, and met with Government officials and Chiefs. When I say I, it is God that works in and through me, and not me of my own abilities and strength. I give God all the praise!. WE GIVE GIFTS UNTO THE POOR!. Through your Prayers and generosity, we have now over the past 10 months placed 9 Honda water pumps in 9 villages. This is a real life saver to many. We also managed to purchase bales of clothing and distribute them among the poor in rural villages. Also we bought medicines and farming tools. God is great friends and I am always thanking him for your love and support. The Personal cost to me was great, and not easy to find the money for the visa and airfare, But God met the need and I count all things but loss, for his Excellency, power and wisdom in operation in and through my life. Truly God is marvellous and I love him so much. Over a year ago before I joined REDBUBBLE, I had little support. Now God has and is building me an army of people like you. Please continue to Pray for me and the children and people in rural and isolated villages. Please continue to spread the word around among friends, churches and do what you can to help raise the funds for the tractor and machinery. God will reward you much in your caring for the poor. Psalm 41:1-3. Please viw all the new photographs. Any help you can give in presenting my profile page better or putting photographs in sorted groups with links on my profile page to them. I would be grateful. I am not very good at this kind of thing. Right now I have Animals and village shots mixed up with Children’s photographs. On Behalf of the many saved healed and blessed with tools and gifts in Villages in Remote Africa, I thank you and Love you all. Your Friend and brother in Christ.

  2Ch 20:5-7 And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court, (6) And said, O LORD God of our fathers, are you not thou God in heaven? and do you not rule over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in your hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand you? (7) Are you not thou our God, who did drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gave it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever? King Jehoshaphat was at a crossroads in life. His kingdom was surrounded by a fearless and terrible army, and total destruction was imminent. He and his army was surrounded on every side and it seemed there was just no way of escape. With many questions in his heart he turned to God for help. The problem was far beyond human help. He realised there was nothing he, or his army could do to improve the situation. He needed God desperately and that was who he turned to. “Are you not God in charge of the universe? Is there anything you cannot do?” these two questions could probably summarize the questions that Jehosaphat asked. / I want you to understand here, that he wasn’t in anyway doubting God’s ability in saving his kingdom. It was not in unbelief that he asked these questions. If he did, then he would have not decided to turn to God and pray in the first place. / These were rhetorical questions he didn’t need any answers, because he already had the answers. He Recognised God as his tower and refuge. God delivered him and saved his Kingdom with a mighty hand. Are you in a similar situation today where you desperately need the miraculous intervention of Almighty God? Are you facing a challenge that only God could solve? Maybe you are sick and medicines and doctors cannot heal you. Maybe it’s a challenge that there is no way out of. Maybe you have tried all that you could, but it just won’t resolve. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT HELP IS NOT FAR AWAY. / Your boss, Husband, Wife, Friend or indeed anyone may not understand or be able to solve your problems, but I know one person that can handle anything. He is the God of all flesh and there’s nothing to difficult for him. Jer 32:27 Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me? It really does not matter how bad the situation seems, or how desperate you may feel. It does not matter how serious or urgent your needs are. The Lord God is strong enough to cause a change, and turn all things round for your good. Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. God is your refuge and strength, a very present help in times of need. / Proverbs 18:10. Rom 8:31-37. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Turn to God with confidence today. He will not fail you. He cannot fail!

As many of you will already know, I am returning to Remote villages on 9th October. I will be in travelling to villages where I and the small mission team have visited and stayed in before, but we have also been asked to help in new villages. The mission is two-fold. To proclaim the Lordship of Jesus Christ and reach all p[peoples from all tribes. To give new converts a Bible in their own language, and strengthen existing Pastors within the area to nurture new converts. Also we will be providing medicines and tools for the villagers, plus Seeds and some fertilizers. We have our Abundant Harvest Project as our main Project and we Hope to Launch in April 2009. This will provide real help to thousands of extreme poverty families in rural villages.

  Now that ive got everybodies attention. / Very warm welcome to Christiaan Art Gallerie, sit back and enjoy my world of paintings. / Im new in this and, so i need people to see me and help me make a decent living.Advice is also welcome aswell as critic.Years ago when someone would tell me that he/she has a passion for a certain thing, i would think, how can someone have a passion for a certain thing, if there are alot of things and hobbies etc. to do in life! And then, i ask myself: What is passion in my life? Well i had alot of passions i thought, and had to decide on which one i like the best, because all my passions took to much time, and left me frustrated. I always know that i love to paint, but i didnt thought much of my paintings and as the time passes, i got better and i developed a certain style. And now i cant wait to do the next painting, and i know now what passion is. I think if you found passion in life then your on the right track. I believe that the beauty of art is good for the sanity of the mind,. You can escape from the present for perhaps the moment and travel to another world. It enables expression of the soul, the urge to be free of all bounds. Encourages exploration. Reflects our perceptions, our values and emotional reaction towards the paintings we creat. My inspiration and earliest backround was as a child. Born in the beautiful South Africa, appreciate the arts and nature. Attended the Highschool of Hopetown in the heart of the most awesome Karoo. Find painting as a enormes therapy, love to creat paintings with oil colours, seascapes, people and landscapes. / So please this is my passion and if you like my work, please buy at least a postcart. / Thank you and blessings. / Christiaan Art Amandasig South Africa / Feel free to contact me / cventer@ford.com / 027(12)8435879 / 027(12) 846637884
