Here is a summary of my missionary travels from the past three months:
On September 10 and 11 we had special meetings in Donetsk, Ukraine, which many brothers and sisters attended from the surrounding countries that speak or understand the Russian language. Brother Paul Schmidt accompanied me and was my interpreter.
On September 17 and 18 I preached in Lyon, France, where many brothers and sisters came together from other European countries as well. God greatly blessed us.
On October 9 we had an especially blessed meeting in Rome; various groups from all over Italy participated.
From October 12 to 22 I visited some churches in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and in the city of Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. It was my second trip to these countries. The sermons were translated into the respective national language, recorded, and duplicated. The subsequent distribution of the recorded sermons ensures a lasting effect among the believers in these countries.
The end of this journey was on the Philippines. In Manila we had a meeting with the brothers, and over 30 preachers of the message were in attendance.
After a longer break, a harmonic meeting filled with the divine love took place in the city of Graz, Austria, on October 29. Memories from more than 40 years have confirmed the faithfulness of God anew.
As they do every month, the faithful believers assembled to hear the proclamation of God’s Word on the last Sunday of October in Zurich, Switzerland.
In the time from November 10 to 20, the first visit was to Angola, where thousands of people heard the Word in the respective stadiums of both cities Luanda and Cabinda. In the closing joint prayer, the praise and worship was brought before the LORD God after each sermon.
The subsequent meetings in Zimbabwe, namely in Harare and in Bulawayo, were very much blessed as well.
In Blantyre, Malawi, the first meeting was scheduled to take place in a Trinitarian Pentecostal church. When the preacher declared at the end of the service that he could not believe the message, all of the elect rose and walked out in protest. The final meeting, which took place in Lilongwe, was a mighty victory for the truth.
The end of the journey was on November 20 in Johannesburg, South Africa. According to the local brothers, up to 1,500 believers had come together.
In the future, I will not be able to undertake as many trips as I have in the past years. It is important to me to concentrate mainly on the few remaining countries which I could not visit thus far.
God has granted grace so that the brethren in the many countries around the world can participate with their congregations in the services which take place here in Krefeld on the first weekend of every month. On the first weekend in November, 844 participants joined us online, and the number is steadily increasing each month.
The sermons are held in German and are simultaneously translated into 12 different languages. The number of DVDs that are sent out on a monthly basis has reached 6,700 by now. By all manner of means, it comes to fulfilment that the last message is preached to all peoples, tongues, and nations for a witness.
I want to sincerely thank all of you, my beloved Brothers and Sisters, for faithfully supporting and carrying this work of God with your prayers and gifts. May the LORD reward you. It will be worth it to remain faithful until the end, for the end will be crowned with divine victory.
“… Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our LORD Jesus Christ.” (1. Cor. 1:8).
