Circular Letter March 1983
The first two months of the new year were already filled with missionary journeys, which God richly blessed again. Unfortunately, here we can only mention very few of the many things God did.
In January, by the grace of our Lord, we had wonderful meetings in India attended by people from near and afar. A man from a full-gospel church near the south Indian city of Trivandrum testified at the end of a conference attended by about 4,000 people: “We had had conferences for 42 years where people had spoken, but this year we had meetings where God personally spoke to us through His Word.” Not only ministering brethren, but all those who were present felt that it was not empty words and stories being presented, but that the Word of God is spirit and life.
We were able to purchase an offset printing machine for our brethren in northern India, so that they could publish brother Branham’s sermons in their local language. These meetings were also a great blessing to many. In Bombay, hundreds heard the Word of God including two Catholic priests and all were overwhelmed and moved by the Spirit of God. It will surely bring a lot of fruit.
The Far East trip in February brought a lot of surprises. I had spoken to large multitudes before, but it was for the first time in Korea that I could preach the Word of God to tens of thousands at once. I was invited by Pentecostal, Baptist and Methodist churches and the Presbyterians and it was my first visit to Korea.
The Lord also opened the door in Taiwan in a wonderful way. Should we have an opportunity to have radio broadcasts in China, there are brethren ready to translate the sermons into Chinese.
There are two small assemblies in Japan, but also there the Lord has His own who He is calling now. Also there, believers from various assemblies and churches and from an international Bible seminary sought to experience more of what God did in this time. Some of them even visited me at the hotel.
For safety reasons I cannot say much about my stay in China, but also there are people expecting to hear God’s message. A brother visited me at the hotel and told me what was going on there. The Bible is printed again so that believers can read it. We are very grateful to God for it. We believe that God also has His chosen ones in China and is calling them out.
