My missionary journeys in June and July were of high importance for believers in various countries of Asia and Africa. In June in the Philippines I experienced how the Lord changed the matters for good, led brethren who were separated together and gathered brothers and sisters for common meetings.

My next stop in Australia was blessed, too. Brothers and sisters rejoiced a lot, especially bro. Frangos who many of you know. God used him in a mighty way.

The meetings in Cameroon, Zaire, Zambia, Malawi and Kenya in July had the highest attendance. I had not been to Cameroon for about five years so the joy of the believers was even greater now. Brother Kobba works well together with all brethren from French and English-speaking regions of the country and believers gathered from near and far to hear the Word. The ministering brethren expressed a wish that some questions they had should be answered and it happened with God’s help in an absolutely miraculous way so that all were helped.

In Zaire I was overwhelmed to see thousands come to the meetings and also the spiritual hunger in them. Dr. Tchyombo, legal representative, did a great job: the “People’s Hall” in Kinshasa was filled with 3,500 people long before the start of the meeting. When I arrived there and saw so many people outside, I thought that the hall had not been opened yet, but in fact it had been closed in the meantime. There were really thousands hearing the Word inside or outside through loudspeakers.

The City Hall in Lubumbashi, Zaire, was also overfilled. Many had to stand in the entrance area. In Kolwezi I could not believe my eyes seeing the great multitude of people in front of me. Also here, many had to stay outside the hall. Our beloved brother, Dr. Mbiye, also did a good job.

Even though the meetings in Zambia and Malawi were only attended by a few hundreds at several places, these meetings were of great importance in themselves, for brethren there as well as for the work of God.

My last stop was in Nairobi, Kenya, where Bishop Kitonga invited me to speak in his church. There were several thousands in attendance, too. The next evening I spoke to 50 invited guests in a meeting organised by the Full Gospel Business Men. The acting prime minister, who had just met with Arap Moi, Kenya’s President, was among the guests of honor.

If I am not mistaken, with God’s help we will have a great field campaign for the truth in the near future. Sincerity, selflessness and faithfulness to God will eventually pay off. Brethren who had been bought by US dollars to be in opposition against me repeatedly came and asked for forgiveness. True friendship cannot be bought for money, but it is produced by the Holy Spirit.

Many thanks should be given to our brother Alexis Barilier for the great success in French-speaking countries of Africa. By caring for them regularly a lot of questions were answered and brethren were kept up-to-date as far as doctrine is concerned. Together we thank the Lord for all the brethren in all countries who do their best to support God’s cause. Our brothers Joseph Di Prossimo and Joseph Baranowski from Belgium are also among them, who sacrificed one month of their time and ministered the Word in various African countries.

During these three weeks in July more than 20,000 people heard the Word of God. I am filled with gratitude when I think of the fruit, the countless thousands of the precious souls worldwide that were saved and led to the truth. Satan, the murderer of souls, wanted to deal a deadly blow to this ministry in 1979, but thanks be to God Who carried me over it. It is true forever that Jesus is the victor and so we are with Him. He overcame and we shall overcome with Him. I understand that I could do nothing on my own. The Lord took care to ensure that the preaching of the Word entrusted to me was received with utmost respect also by believers in different religions and brothers and sisters coming from various denominations.

Many thousands in all the world thank the Lord for having sent me to them. He has carried me through all the trials. I praise His grace. It was Him who sustained me because of God’s commission and ministry. With full conviction I say together with the psalmist: “Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.” (Ps 94:17) There is no one on the Earth as aware as I am of what the Lord meant when He said: “Without me you can do nothing.”

To all of you who remember me and this ministry in your prayers, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart and I wish you God’s rich blessings.
