My friend,

            It is an awesome thing to behold the presence of God fall like invisible rain on a great mass of people. And when the Holy Spirit seems to propel them from their seats as they rush forward by the hundreds to offer Jesus Christ their spirits, souls and bodies, the atmosphere is literally electric.

            Then a more visible, close-up, miracle occurs. Masses are made up of individuals�and God counts people one by one. And there she is�another Mary Magdalene�still young and beautiful, but a hopeless alcoholic trying to drown her broken, confused heart. And so you pray with this Argentine �Maria� and she is radiantly born anew. So much so, that she comes to the next services as a testimony to the power of God breaking her chains and His tender love for every individual on the planet.

            My translator and fellow board member, Walter Contreras, and I just returned from the frozen Patagonia in southern Argentina. I speak Spanish quite well, and can preach and teach some in this beautiful language. But ministering to great crowds of seeking hearts is no time to practice my Spanish. Walter is an Argentine, and the best translator there is. The Holy Spirit uses us as a team, as His power produces results that cause us to stand in awe of God.

            While it may appear to be �hell�s time� as Satanic forces infect the whole earth, it is really �harvest time� as God�s Spirit pierces hearts and transforms lives. Sometimes, it happens by the hundreds as in Argentina�or India�or Africa. Other times it is smaller numbers like one by one or in small groups as in Israel. But we always stand stunned at the miracle of God creating new creatures right before our eyes!

            And we never have to say good-bye. We follow-up with two free lessons by e-mail each month in the St. Paul School of Leadership (in English and Spanish). We have now passed 15,000 and are pursuing the next goal of 25,000 disciples studying God�s Word around the globe.

            Thanks for your faithful prayers and support. Your gift this month will help keep us on the front lines.
