CIRCULAR December 1988
Since many years the cooperation with various brethren in the different countries has been very effective. The time seems to be ripe to extend the right hand of fellowship to all who don’t depend on a meal ticket and on a support from people, but are called by God who will supply all their needs for a brotherly working together. Here in the local Church in Krefeld I like to mention the brethren who have known me personally and have experienced the beginning and the developments of this ministry for twenty, thirty and more years. They are still with us. Bro. Russ and Bro. Schmidt and other brethren have stood true to the cause of Christ, even in the times of storm during the year 1979. Some were expecting the end of this ministry, but by God’s grace we can testify that many people came to the Lord and into the knowledge of the truth. The numbers of those who in recent years came to the meetings here, in other European countries and all over the world were not only hundreds but thousands.
As already known, Bro. Alexis Barilier from Lausanne, Switzerland, with his team is serving the French speaking people and is doing a great work for the glory of God. During this year he made a number of mission trips, and his personal ministry was a great blessing to many.
Also Bro. Joseph Baranowski and Bro. Joseph Di Prossimo from Belgium made journeys to French speaking countries in Africa during this year. Their ministry was greatly appreciated.
Brother Etienne Genton is busy almost day and night to translate the sermons into the Italian language, he is also printing and sending out the brochures. In the last meetings on the 19th and 20th November, 1988, in Turin a big theatre was filled with people for the special convention. The ministry obviously bears richly fruit.
Bro. Franco Forestieri and the team with him are also busy with printing and doing all they can to serve God’s people with the spiritual food in our season.
Bro. Markku Vuori in Finland is also working hard, translating and printing to make available the message of the hour to the brothers and sisters in his country. God has blessed his work.
There are many brethren who could be mentioned, especially those in the Eastern European countries, in all of Asia and all of Africa with whom we have cooperation. My two-weeks trip in August, 1988, through the Soviet Union was not only a blessing to several thousand believers, it was a breakthrough for the end-time message. Who would believe that I was given a long interview by the state television and also received half a page of newspaper coverage?
It is a special privilege for me to hear about the wonderful way the Lord is using some of these brethren. If one member is blessed, we all rejoice in the Lord.
I invite all brethren who share in the end-time ministry to lay aside all the pet doctrines and ideas which caused division and unite in a last effort to reach the ends of the earth with the greatest message of all times.
From the Mission Centre in Krefeld we are serving God’s people in 134 countries. The heavy financial burden connected to this work is carried mainly by the love gifts and offerings from the German speaking countries Switzerland, Austria and Germany. Others like our dearly beloved friends in the Alsace, the formerly German speaking part of France, also our friends from Belgium, from Australia, some even from Canada and the U.S.A., also special friends from Finland support this mission outreach. At this time I take the opportunity to say thank you, may God reward and bless you for what you do to further the Kingdom of God at this very end-time. Please pray for me and for all who are called to the ministry that God would bless us, unite us and be with us.
Again a year is nearing its end and we truthfully can say that God has blessed the ministry as never before. Many victories were won for the truth in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. For the year 1989 I wish you all God’s richest blessings. May we be found in His perfect will and partake of what He does right now.
