CHURCHES UNDER SIEGE

Our churches in Siberia as well as the Southern Ukraine are under siege.  In Siberia, some of their Evangelism efforts have been diminished by 30 Skinheads who stood threatening at the entrance of a building in Ulyanovsk used for Evangelism last week.  By the grace of God there was no injuries and all the people who attended the meeting came to know Jesus Christ personally.  Pastor Andrey and his family will be holding several days of additional meetings in this area and will be the presiding pastors over the new flock that God is birthing in Ulyanovsk.  They request your prayers at this critical hour of harvest for the nation.  They are trusting God for even the Skinheads to be converted by the blood of Jesus.
 
In the Southern Ukraine, the Great Commission Church in Kherson is under siege at several fronts.  Media is attacking them in numerous newspaper articles, referencing them as a sect.  Pray that our distribution of tons of famine relief will put the church back into a better light in their community.  Pastor Vitally's wife, Irina is undergoing heavy physical attacks and has been in and out of the hospital numerous times in recent weeks.  Pray that their yoke will be broken by the Anointed One, Jesus Christ and that healing would be affected by the stripes of Christ's blood covenant. 
 
Finally, we covert your prayers as we minister in the Far Regions of Siberia in February and part of March.  Pray that many drug addicts would receive deliverance, many infirmities and diseases would be destroyed by the power of Christ and most of all many Salvations affected by the blood of Christ to the end that the new converts would be established in the local church with pastors after God's heart.  As we travel to Krasnayarsk and to Bratsk, we are ministering in a region that is in desperate need of Church planting.  Pray that there would be a continuation of a church planting anointing that is heavy on our lives and that we will be able to greatly encourage the ministries that God has set in order in these places. 
 
In order to make these miracles possible, we desperately need a minimum of $3,500 for airfares and transportation cost, and an additional $2,000 for room and board and accommodations so we would not be a burden on these local fledgling churches in Siberia.  We are also believing God to supply for the purchase of large quantities of Russian Scriptures that can fuel the fire of Evangelism and churches, long after we have departed.  We need to hear from you as soon as possible to make these miracles happen.  Any checks dated by December 31st, will receive 2007 tax credit. 
 
Thank you for helping us finish the year with a mighty HARVEST OF THE LOST!

Dear Prayer Partners,

Sara and I have just finished over two weeks of amazing miracles in Mexico.  We thank God for your prayer covering and entering into our labors via your giving and partnering with us.  In the last fourteen days, between the both of us, we have ministered over 30 times.  God has given us tremendous favor in Monterrey, Mexico with major movements in the church, but most of all He has given us favor from the Heavens.  We have seen the salvations of hundreds of people over recent days; families knit together that were divided, healings, baptisms and deliverances.  We were part of a Mission's Congress with the Castle Rey Fellowship (King's Castle) which is the largest Charismatic Movement in Mexico and we finalized arrangements while here for nationwide crusades in Panama and a return to Mexico in May of 2008. 
 
Last Sunday was probably the most intensive service we have ever been part of on North American soil.  God moved in such majestic power that the 9:45 A.M. service was going strong after 4:00 in the afternoon.  Most of this time frame was an explosion of anointed prayer on over 1,500 people passing through a prayer tunnel.  From the aged to the toddlers and all in between; one common characteristic is that they were overwhelmed by the presence and power of God.  Many wept, some collapsed under the wave after wave of the Holy Spirit's glory, but all were divinely touched by the powerful presence of Jesus.  Sunday night turned into a testimony service and eternity alone will tell the dimensions and dynamic of what happened in these hours in the courts of God's glory.  Sara and I will never be the same and that's the testimony of everyone attending. 
 
As we return home, we switch gears and look forward to family and Christmas and the finalizing of our plans in ministering in Siberia, leaving in January.  The fledgling churches we are returning to are asking us for additional training and to this end we are taking several key ministers with us from Alaska as Sara and I will be conducting evangelistic services in the evenings.  Our point of destination is 17 time-zones away from Seattle where we live and it will probably be minus 40 this winter in Siberia.   Needless to say, with these travel descriptions, we don't have too many people that want to come along with us.  Multiplied hundreds of people will be affected eternally by the grace of God, so we do need your prayers and your covering in these perilous parts of the earth.  Our airfares alone will be costing us $1,695.00 each and we need our covenant partners to help make these miracles possible.  This pricing does not include ground transportation, food or lodging or visas.  We need a miracle to make this happen. 
 
Please pray and believe with us as we sense an urgency about this trip, especially for these areas of Siberia which are strategic in God for reaching China, Mongolia and Islamic Republics.  These Siberians are ready to go at the peril of their life into regions that you and I cannot penetrate.  They are just asking for some Bible guidelines and prayer encouragement before putting their lives on the line for Missions.  Prayerfully consider us at Impact Ministries in your Year End Giving and should you desire to sow your faith seed and finances into this fertile field, please note on the memo line of your check: "Siberia 2008".  Due to our depleted resources, we need a miracle Year End offering from any of you who have God's money to give,.  We are praying, Siberia is praying and together we can make this happen for extending the Kingdom of God to literally the Utmost ends of the Earth.
 
Believing for a miracle month,
