Hello from Korea

New School Year
A new school year is just around the corner, around the corner of the weekend. The first day of classes is Monday, March 4. This year will be a bit different as I have been assigned to two schools. I will spend 3 days a week at my current school and 2 at the new school. This change comes with its usual bunch of jitters, but I look forward to meeting the new staff, teachers and students. Wolpyeong Middle comes with its own set of changes as three English teachers left and were replaced by three new teachers. I love the new faces, but I shall miss the old ones.

UPCKorea
Gwangmyeong: While Pastor Kang is visiting with family in the States, Sis. Kim and Bro. Oh, the assistant pastor, have been covering the services. Sis. Kim leaves for deputation in a little less than a month. It shall be a different country without her around. I shall miss having her at church, not just for her translation help. ^^ She will return in a year, prior to the start of Bible school semester. In other news, we have a new(ish) missionary couple, though I have not met them yet.

Orphanage
I continue to volunteer at the same orphanage in Daejeon. Some of my kids will be moving on to middle school, so they will no longer be in our Monday night group. One of the girls does exceptionally well in English-to the point of freely seeking out frequent conversation. I hope that continues during the dinner time. I and the other volunteers eat dinner with the kids and staff before our class. I look forward to these weekly classes. I enjoy working with a different age group.

With all the changes, I should have more to report in the next few months.

Thank you for journeying with me. The best is yet to come!

Blessings,
Heather

Another pastor baptized twelve.

Seven first term Bible school students were baptized in Jesus' name.

A pastor's son was abducted and had no contact with his family for one week. The churches in the area joined in prayer for the missing 14 year old boy and for his safe return. It did not seem like a kidnapping for money, since there were no ransom demands. The concern was that the boy was going to be sold to a human trafficking ring, or worse yet, sold to someone who wanted body parts for idol worship. Miraculously, after 7 days, the boys captors let their guard down for a few minutes and the boy escaped into the streets of a city of 14 million people. He was able to get a cell phone and call an older brother who lived in the city. Once his brother was able to locate him, the police took the boy into custody pending further investigation. Much to everyone's relief, the boy returned home to his parents after a 9 day ordeal. We give God all the glory for the unusual way the boy was able to escape. Only God could have orchestrated the events that led to his freedom.

Mozambique
Regional Missionary, Cezar Moraes family

Uganda
Phil Tolstad & Steve Phelps family

At an Apostolic seminar, twenty received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, seventeen were baptized in Jesus' name. Three of those baptized were Trinitarian pastors. Arrangements are being made to soon baptize all their church members in Jesus' name.

An Apostolic Pentecostal lady from Eretria who is working in Uganda was looking for a church to attend. While walking home from work, she was praying to find a church and saw a group of ladies entering of our churches. She noticed their appearance of holiness and entered saying, "This is the true Apostolic Church!" Truly an Apostolic Identity identifies who and what we are.

Zimbabwe
Mike Long family

In the first four weeks of services, the new resident missionaries have seen eight receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. 

Vietnam Update

17 BAPTIZED AND 15 FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST!

Dear Friends and Partners,

Deborah and I made a quick weekend trip into Vietnam for the Tet holiday (Chinese New Year) to satisfy our 59-day Filipino visa.  Brother David Myers from Palm Bay, Florida joined us. We held a Saturday seminar with more than 75 people attending.  (Thank you Palm Bay Church!)  We also preached in two Baptist churches on Sunday.  We saw 15 people receive the Holy Ghost, and 17 were baptized in Jesus' name!  The best news is that we converted another Baptist preacher who desires a long-term relationship with us.  Wish you could have been with us!!

Another Vietnam leader whom I have worked with for 7 years reports many more recently baptized near the city of  Dalat where in July I baptized 51.

Below are pictures of a unique baptismal tank the Baptist pastor provided for our use.  Where there is a will, there is a way.  Ha!

Remember, we could not be reaching the people of Vietnam without you.  Thank you so much!

Blessings!

John and Deborah Wolfram


P.S.  Thank you Jesus for watching over us!  Someone informed the police of our seminar meeting.  Thankfully, they found nothing amiss and allowed the meeting to continue.

Papua New Guinea

DARU, a town in the far corner of PNG, is being pioneered by Bro Jack Gene along with his wife and four children. It's the last Province in PNG to be reached. We now have a Church in every Province. Praise God! Bro Jack is doing a wonderful job. Already he has baptised 36 people including two Pastors and 10 of their members in Jesus’ name. He now has 60 people in attendance on a Sunday. Bro Jack needs our prayers and support, as Daru is a very isolated place with no road access to the rest of the country.

Bro. Jack Gene baptizing in Daru!!

BREAKING NEW GROUND
History in the making!! During the weekend of the 17th of November 2012, we celebrated an important event for the Church, a groundbreaking ceremony for the new construction about to commence on the Bible School compound. We are planning to build a new Headquarters, Bible School classrooms, and dormitories complete with kitchen, washing facilities, and plumbed restrooms!! Everyone was very excited to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony. We were privileged to have the Lord Mayor of Goroka, Mr Bin Hulotove, and many more VIP Guests who attended our special day. After the ceremony, we ate a fabulous feast comprising of 12 pigs and much more! All of our ministers from around the country were in attendance and were all amazed and overjoyed!!!

FIRST EVER NATIONAL YOUTH CAMP

Youth Camp 2013: It was the first time for the PNG Youth to have a Camp - where they slept, ate and worshipped together in one place. The Youth loved the idea, which broke down Regional boundaries and forged a bond of friendship between the Youth never seen before. It was a great success, with over 1000 youth staying on campus. It was a huge undertaking, with PNG presenting some unusual challenges which can be likened to an administrative nightmare! In spite of this, we are happy to report the Lord had His way. There were 106 Youth baptised in Jesus Name, 101 filled with the Holy Ghost and 10 reported healings...Praise God!! There was such a powerful move of God it was awesome. Bro and Sis Carver did a wonderful job with the morning teaching sessions, and Bro Tevita Paitadra (General Youth Director of Fiji) preached in the evening. All the Youth were blessed and left extremely happy. This is the first time that they have had a conference with only Youth in attendance and targeted to their age group and needs. We also had a bonfire, drama night, and sunrise service; all firsts for PNG. Everyone left on Monday morning very excited and determined to do more or Jesus in 2013!


PRAYER REQUESTS

• General Conference-Easter weekend 2013
• Our first ever Bible School Graduation during the General Conference
• Strength and wisdom as we begin the new Bible School construction!

European Youth Congress
It was great to be a part of the European Youth Congress in Holland this past December. There were many youth that came from across Europe to receive teaching and preaching that prepared them to impact their nations. The power of God was manifested in every service, and the Lord confirmed his word with signs following.

Here is a short clip showing the European Youth Congress.

Madagascar eNews

 January-February 2013

Greetings, partners and friends,

Happy New Year from Madagascar! Who would have ever thought that we would see the year 2013. We have determined that we are going to improve our communication with our partners and supporters this year. We want to take full advantage of the technology that is available to us in order to keep you as up to date as possible with what Jesus is doing through our ministry and in our field of labor. We are excited to share with you what is happening on our side of the world.  You have faithfully partnered with us and we love sharing what God is doing here on our great island.

Here are a couple pictures for your viewing pleasure.

 PICTURED ABOVE: Leaders from the Central Region praying for their Regional Presbyter, Bro. Gilbert.

2013 started off with special sessions for all of our leaders. National leaders, district leaders, and divisional leaders all gathered to make their plans and budgets for the year 2013. We also had sessions of prayer and teaching, with a special time of taking communion together. We are blessed to work with such a great team!

PICTURED ABOVE: National Superintendent, Bro. David, leading the minsters and wives in an opening prayer for the Preachers Conference.

The next week was our annual January Preachers Conference. Ministers and wives gathered from all over the island, and we had a wonderful time together.  The Word of God was preached and taught, and we left uplifted and renewed, with a fresh vision and burden to reach this island with the gospel of Jesus Christ!

We are happy to report that revival continues in Madagascar.  While we are still waiting for the 2012 reports to make their way in from around the country, we believe that 2012 will be even greater for the United Pentecostal Church of Madagascar than the record-breaking year of 2011.  We now have over 800 churches and licensed ministers.  2011 saw over 27,000 filled with the Holy Ghost across the island, and our expectations are high as we await the final count for 2012. God is doing great things!

We want to thank you so much for your faithful prayers and financial support!  We are so honored to be your extension to the other side of the world.

Working together for His Kingdom, 
Chris & Paula Richardson

CAMEROON - At a convention of a new group applying for affiliation with our church, nineteen were baptized in Jesus' name and six received the baptism of the Holy Spirit.  Three students graduated from the UPC College of Theology.  We are excited for the beginning of a short term Bible School on Feb. 9 in Yaounde.  We already have 19 students registered from one group, and we are expecting more to be registered during our upcoming French minister's meeting.  Exciting days ahead for this Bible School Class.

EQUATORIAL GUINEA - Please join us in praying for our upcoming crusade. We are anticipating a great turnout and praying for a great outpouring of the Holy Ghost and to see God confirm His Word with signs and wonders.  Pray for the safe arrival of Rev. Elias Limones and his team from the USA, and for our Area Coordinator, Rev. & Sis. Adams as they travel to Malabo.  Praise Report - Four were baptized in Jesus' name and five received the Holy Spirit.

KENYA - Pray for revival and that our pastors will be burdened and join in unity to support the home missionary program.  Also pray that God will open for us a door to reach Kwale town in the Coast Region. Praise Report - On January 20th in one church two were baptized in Jesus' Name and there were four reported healings during the month.  To Jesus be the praise.  Special prayer request from Missionary Crumpacker:  Due to what happened during the last election in Kenya, we request prayer for this nation leading up to, during the voting, and after the results are announced.  The election is March 4th.

LIBERIA - Please join us to pray that the National ladies can raise the necessary financial support in order for them to complete their project of a Medical Clinic.  National Conference is always a very important time for the UPCL.  We are praying for a large number in attendance and also for a great graduation of our current Bible School students.  Pray for the safe return of our missionaries, Bro. & Sis. Stewart,  and for our Conference speakers from the States.  Praise Reports - We thank God that for all those who are being saved through revivals, prayer vigils, and regular worship services throughout the country.  One of our preachers ministered during a crusade in a local community and a lady who was sick for seven months came to the crusade and received her healing.  In our health center, a baby was delivered, but showed no real evidence of life, just very weak.  But after two days, it began responding and crying.  We believe it was a miracle that transported this baby from death to life.

MAURITIUS-  We are praying for a Revival of Truth in Upper Plaine Wilhems.  Pray for Pastor Gervais as he is need of healing.  Finally, pray for the twelve Bible School Students who are in their first-year studies in Rodrigues.

MOZAMBIQUE - We are praising Jesus for the commencement of the building of our church in Maputo, the Capital of Mozambique.  Pray for us as we accomplish this great feat for the furtherance of His Kingdom.

SENEGAL - Pray for our safe travels for Missionary Sully and family as they arrive on location.   AIMer Jessica Doucet will also be traveling with them.  Pray for open doors and guidance from above as they seek to find a way to open up a new work.

SWAZILAND - We praise God for the uprecedented revivals accompanied by wonders and miracles taking place in Swaziland. The church in Mbabane together with its Sister Church at Ezulwini have just completed a 21-day season of prayer and fasting, during which close to 20 people turned their lives to the Lord. Of these 13 were baptized in the Name of Jesus, and 12 received the Holy Spirit. During the recent crusade at Mhlatane, seven people repented of their sins.  Also, reports of four people received miraculous healing, two of them at Maseyisini inthe southern part of the country.  These two had been booked for operations, but after being prayed for, they returned to their doctors to be operated on and to the amazement of their doctors, they found nothing wrong with their patients and sent them back home.  In another area, a group of young people traveled to Siteki in the east of the countryfor an outreach program. As they were preparing to return to Mbabane at the end of their assignment, a woman who was deaf and mute asked for a ride in their car. Along the way, the group was praying and praising God. When they reached Manzini half way to Mbabane the woman was able to hear with one ear. But after more prayer both ears had been unstopped and she could also speak.  Another woman who could not speak began to speak after being prayed for by one of the young people in Mbabane. We thank God for what He is doing in His church.

ZIMBABWE - Bible College has been closed because we are not registered with the Government.   Papers are being submitted and the school will have to pay $500.00 a year for this registration.  Meanwhile, classes will be suspended until everything is completed.

Target Countries

Jerry Richardson, Regional Director - Africa

I want to encourage you to continue to pray for the Target Countries.  The Africa region continues to see progress and growth and I know much of this is because of our combined prayer efforts.  With this in mind I bring the need for focused prayer be made for the Target Nations.  We need to make intentional plans to reach into these nations. Willing men are needed as doors are opened and opportunities become available.  Please put this list in a place that you see it and pray for these countries often.

Target Countries
2013 / 2014

1.  Mali
2.  The Gambia
3.  Eritrea
4.  The Comoros Islands

Update from Geneva, Switzerland

Greetings to you from Geneva in Jesus’ name!!

We have had great services, a number of visitors, church members stepping up their commitment to the Lord and to the church, and people receiving the Holy Ghost!

At the end of October, we had our first regional Elisha Conference for ministers and leaders in Munich, Germany. There was a great spirit of unity, fellowship, worship and impartation amongst ministers from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland! Afterwards we held our first service in Munich, where one young woman was renewed in the Holy Ghost and baptized a week later!

Sister Amber Hackenbruch is back with us in Geneva and has been helping tremendously with visitor followup, Bible studies and worship during service.  She has been the start of a shift in Geneva, where we have now equipped ourselves to accommodate more AIM workers with a dedicated apartment, to save costs compared to hotels.

We had a great Friends’ Day service in December, with 45 in attendance, many visitors, and Brother Thomas Kouadio and his wife ministered in word and in worship—3 received the Holy Ghost! We have had many continued contacts since then.


 Brother Vicente Mestre and his family have been holding weekly Spanish services and Home Bible Studies in Lausanne, Switzerland. Vistors continue to come, and several people have been baptized in Jesus name in that city! We are very excited!!
 

 Brother Charles Robinette taught a “Leadership with Purpose” workshop in Geneva, speaking to future leaders in the church, underlining commitment.

We are now planning the 2013 Apostolic Ministry Training Center session from March 8-18 in Germany. We have 13 teachers joining us for intensive training, fellowship, worship, and outreach!

Prayer Requests and Financial Needs

• Strongly founded leaders in Geneva!
• More cost-effective meeting place in Geneva!
• Effective city outreach initiatives in Geneva and Lausanne!
• Good, consistent meeting place in Lausanne!
• Incoming AIM workers supporting Geneva!
• Effective Bible Studies, leading to saints rooted in the church!

"We must be global Christians with a global vision because our God is a global God." - John Stott

God is doing miraculous things! This is a church praying over the flag of Cyprus.  God has promised to go before us, and he is opening eyes that have been closed to truth! 

We are also seeing people receive the Holy Ghost, and miracles throughout our travels!  Exciting time to be serving the Lord!

Since our departure from Cyprus in 2010, there have been many changes in the church. Leaders contracts were up, and they had to leave the country. Through it all, God had been faithful. We are now faced with the same problem once again; it is time for our leaders to depart. WE NEED TO RETURN.

This is a pioneer work, and we are the first resident missionaries to be appointed to this country. If you feel to help, you may call or email and we will be happy to tell you how!

Thank you for your support; we love and appreciate each of you. We pray that God bless you tremendously for your sacrifice and giving for the Global Mission!
