DWJD Training Spreading Like Wildfire!

Honduras: In June of last year we trained about 200 pastors and leaders and commissioned them to go and train others. Today this report just came to us from Paul Otremba, our Area Missionary to Central and South America. “The Honduras pastors are multiplying the DWJD (Doing What Jesus Did) seminars, and according to Pastor Gilberto, they have trained about 800 people and are still training more. It is difficult to know exactly how many pastors are using the DWJD seminar. The results are great. Many are receiving the Baptism in the Holy Spirit and countless people are being healed. It is really difficult to keep up with the numbers. I know of a pastor in Barranquilla, Columbia that just started a Ministry Training Institute in his church. Other pastors in Barrancabermeja, Columbia that we trained in Medellin are planning to start MTIs this year in their churches.” So, things are spreading like wildfire.

With us is Pastor Gilberto, National Leader
of the Honduras Foursquare churches.

 John, teaching on appropriating the power
of the Holy Spirit in personal ministry.

 Sonja, teaching on the baptism of the
Holy Spirit with an altar call.

 Pastors learning how to lead believers into the
Holy Spirit baptism, with speaking in tongues.

 Our interpreter, Paul Otremba coaching leaders
how to better minister to others.

India and Nepal: DWJD Training Out of Control!

Dr. Ray and Wilma Phipps are retired educators who have been using DWJD training in India and Nepal. They say, “Besides the ‘fires’ He is spreading in Nepal and India (which we now realize are completely ‘out of control’) a number of converts have gone to other countries as the Lord seems to lead them in the last couple of years.  University professors, medical doctors, electronic technicians and uneducated laborers are spreading the gospel as they go in various countries.  These include Bahrain, Malaysia, Kuwait, Iraq, Cyprus, Chad (Africa), U.A.E., Oman, Singapore and New Zealand. We are not able to keep up with the many wonders and miracless that the Lord is doing as these pastors and evangelists just go out “Doing What Jesus Did.” They have trained thousands of people in Asia. The training is spreading and “out of control.”

 At graduation, each student minister
receives a Diploma in Practical Ministry.

 Finally, each graduate minister is prophesied over
and commissioned to go Do What Jesus Did.

Baptizing them in the Name of the Father,
Son, and the Holy Spirit...

 ...and healing the sick and casting out demons
that cured this man of a terminal case of AIDS.

…And It’s Happening Here Too!

USA, Bend, Oregon - In the USA we hear, “Why isn’t it happening in America? Why don’t we see miracles like those happening in Latin America?” (See last month’s newsletter) Well, it’s happening here too! We invite pastors and leaders from the USA to come and witness what is happening here in Bend, Oregon. Every Monday night we see little miracles happening during class time, in our “practicum” sessions! This is our flagship Ministry Training Institute where we train and then send believers into their part of the world to preach, heal the sick, and Do What Jesus Did. This is serious stuff. We turn doubters into believers that can stand in the gap and minister in the power and revelation of the Holy Spirit. March 11 and 12 is our annual Train the Trainer Intensive for pastors who want to start an MTI in their home churches.

We start every training night
with Spirit-led worship.

Then we teach two lessons
on practical theology.

First  and second practicum: We learn how to lead
people to Christ and into the Holy Spirit Baptism.

Third, we learn how to heal the sick
like Jesus did.

Fourth, we learn how to hear God’s Voice
and Heal the Sick by Revelation.

Finally, we learn how to preach the
Full Gospel with signs and wonders following.

Called to Missions?

Missions is the heart of the Gospel. Next month we will emphasize how the Great Commission is being accomplished by individuals who are answering the call to another culture. We are so thankful the Lord has  called us to be equippers of those who have answered the call. It amazes us how the Lord has arranged circumstances for us to fulfill a pressing need to equip believers to function in the supernatural gifts of the Spirit. We are enjoying every minute of it!
