The Action Report April 2008 April 1, 2008 Dear Special friend, I know soldiers start wars. But can 38 soldiers for Christ stop a war? I believe they can—and did. Here is the incredible story in brief. 1) I was invited to minister Jesus in Kenya. A team of 38 Christians—young and older—mostly from the East Coast church (where I preach every Easter) would complete the team. 2) When war began to break out in Kenya, well-meaning friends cautioned, “Better not go now.” Word came from the land of the Masai in Kenya, “We need you. Come!” The Holy Spirit said “Go now!” and we did. 3) After arriving in Kenya (a couple thousand miles south of Israel), we heard that the warring political factions were about to let the conflict erupt. Our team made a circle at the Kenya/Tanzania border and we cried out to God, “Stop the war. We bind Satan in Jesus’ name. Give us liberty to preach unity and peace in Christ.” The following day the news broke. An agreement! No war! Our God reigns! 4) Our team had some of the best contractors anywhere in America. We all were part of building a large dining hall for Masai tribe children—floor to roof—in two and a half days! I mixed concrete with the boys. Pastor Bob Hakala and I were the preaching team. I spoke in crowded markets, churches and other open air meetings. Many came to Christ and did not want us to leave. My daughter (sponsored by a friend) and granddaughter (a computer whiz who was my assistant) did not want to leave East Africa. We saw and felt God’s presence, power and glory. 5) In a brief closing ceremony, I was made a “Masai chief” and handed their “talking stick” rod of authority that chiefs hold when they speak. You were part of that team through your prayers and gifts. I was able to help many of the Kenyan people who have so little but who love so much. Please keep your prayers and support coming. We’ll walk through every door God opens as He supplies the strength and funds. Hope to hear from you this month, Frank Eiklor Related Articles · More Articles Jesus said many would come in His name and deceive the hearts of the simple, sinful and proud. Eastern mysticism and meditation is a big thing in the gullible West. And one day a “world leader” will appear on the scene with the persuasion of a god and the heart of a devil. Jesus warns His children to know the Scriptures, live in obedience to the Father’s will, and stay alert to the signs of the times. They laugh no more. Now God’s description of how He will destroy the old earth and create a
new one makes perfect sense. The splitting of the atom turned many skeptics into believers.
After all, look what man himself is capable of doing with the atom and hydrogen bombs. Now
the fear is that nuclear weapons are being placed in the hands of madmen who wish to annihilate
their enemies. God has blessed man with incredible genius. We stand in awe as we watch men and women in a room full of computers and high-tech instruments guiding and landing spacecraft on distant planets. At that moment, we appear invincible. But then a mammoth tornado comes—or a terrifying hurricane—or rains that flood whole regions and never listen to our shouts to “Stop!”—or the shake that removes from under our feet any confidence or pride we carry, and leaves us numb with hardly enough breath to even utter the paralyzing word “EARTHQUAKE!”. And man is helpless in the face of it all! |
