Two men stood at the edge of a stream filled with rocks. “Too many obstacles to cross here. I’m going back!” thought one. “Look at how easy this stream is to cross. So many stepping stones! I’m going ahead!” thought the other.

I’m on the frontlines of two countries you and I love. America and Israel.

Spiritual darkness reigns.

“The unborn are just clumps of cells. Kill ‘em!”  say great numbers of Americans and Israelis. And here’s a shocker. San Francisco plays second-fiddle to Tel Aviv, Israel as the world’s  “gay friendliest city.” The media trumpets scenes of men kissing and marrying men (same with women) while the captions state “How darling!” Fornication now equals “relationships,” and adultery, greed, lying and violence win academy awards.

On the USA economy, experts are warning of a crash. Will people’s money be confiscated to pay the debt? Will hiding gold and silver (if you have any) be declared criminal? And in the church, will biblical views on certain subjects be declared unlawful? (It’s already begun).

That’s looking at only the “obstacles.” I prefer to see the present darkness as a stepping stone into light. Moral and economic collapse can cause millions to thirst for God. And they will seek out those who are filled with the holiness and power of the Holy Spirit.

It will take God’s “Elijah power” to let people see the difference between Jesus and all the substitutes. “Religion”—Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity-in-name-only hits a wall when faced with demons, diseases and death. Jesus Christ alone has all authority. And I’m already finding that desperate people who find no answers in their “religions” will listen when told about a Savior who stands before them alive and ready to prove it!

That’s why I burn to see the fire of the Holy Spirit spread across Israel. Across America. Around the world. And that’s where internet TV enters the picture.

There are future spiritual giants who God wants to save and use to shake the world.

I want to reach some of them.

Imagine a few more Francis Asburys. Who was he? I met Asbury big time through a book a great friend of mine wrote. It’s called “Midnight Rider For The Morning Star.” Francis was America’s first circuit-riding preacher. Wow! Indians at war. Dangerous highwaymen. Hungry wolves. Even British troops hunting him down during the Revolution. Nothing stopped Asbury from his passion: sharing Jesus Christ.

And nothing must stop you and me.

Pray for me—that the Holy Spirit will come with fresh fire to explode His Word in ways that make men and women listen. We’re pushing on with plans to use Internet television to spread God’s powerful seed in over 150 countries. Keep praying.

Also, if you want your own copy of “Midnight Rider” you can write to the author Mark Alan Leslie, 30 Ridge Road, Monmouth, ME  04259. Or you can order it online at: www.barnes&noble.com and www.Amazon.com.

As I leave you, I need many friends to see stepping stones—not obstacles that make the fearful say, “What’s the use?” Our awesome God is on the march. Let’s march with Him! I ask with great sincerity and humility for your prayers and support.

God Bless you!
