The Daughters of Thunder send a report of meeting from Bungoma chapter, Kenya

Thank you so much in advance for the monthly PL it is a blessing brother , to be mentored from you ,we know the Lord has reachly invested in you .According to mathew chapter 6:33-34 we are working for the kingdom first .

THE REPORT OF DAUGHTERS OF THUNDER.
We chaired the meeting to encourage them with the word from the book of 1Tomoth 5:5-6 that the Lord Jesus who was exoted in the highest realms is their provider and their father . We shared that it was wrong to trust in man ruther trust in Jesus who is the living hope , and from the word we were sharing we discovered its was making us free from a sinful nature we do astep to freedon and sonhood breaking blood line curses by praying to everyone we shared to learn to wait on God and how to use His word not to compromise with sin to die to self.Hebrews 11:6 we learn that faiths is contacious and its given as a gift from God .when we read the bible our faith grows .In 1 theo 5:17-18 , 1 king 16:6-16,2kings 4:6 most of them who had given up because of fees ,medication , we prayed together and they were changed to happiness , we had 30 widows and 18 orphan s .We got a snap but the Film was not their without our knowledge we promise next time we will not repeat the same mistakes .

To chair that meeting we had to borrow some money for the day for food for some who came from far .We hope you will like this idear .God bless you sooo much brother you remain our mentors in the Lord.

01-21-09 Bro Jeevan from East India appreciates FBF family… requests prayer

DEAREST BELOVED MAN OF GOD ROBERT EPHRATA AND FBF BRETHREN

Greetings to you in Holy name of our Lord Saviour Jesus Christ. We are really grateful and thankful for your holy prayers and comforting words in the time of pain and sorrow. We had memorial service of my mother on Sunday with various pastors and ministers in our area.

I write to you with a heart full of love for you all. I cant able to find a word for convey my gratuities to you toward me and my ministry in India and I am so happy to be a part of this big family of God. What a day it will be when we come together with Jesus in Heaven. Amen!

I believe we are going to share much with the servants of God from the four corners of the world either by prayer support or financial support and one more thing I want to added that I know is this prayer support is essential than any other even than silver or gold. Peter and John told the lame man at the door of the temple “gold we do not have nor silver but we can give you what we have, in the name of Jesus stand up and walk!” Truly the lame man became whole and walked praised God. They gave him what he wanted most.

We are praying and hoping that this year I really need to go deeper into the work of the Lord. If God willing it is my prayer that I get more resources to accomplish God work.

Please keep this prayer requests in your daily prayers.

1. Please pray that more anointing of God in this New Year to bring Glory and Honor to Jesus Christ in the pagan country.

2. New church planting in the remote and tribal areas.

3. Door to door, street to street tracts, john gospel booklets at least in 800 villages.

4. Prisoner ministry activities may increase more and more.

5. More night street meetings and Jesus film projects.

6. Teaching word of God to the youth and making them worriers in the ministry of God.

7. Taking care of the street children, orphan children and poor and needy children and making them as great instrument in the hands of God.

8. Please keep our co – ministers and pastors (180 now) increase and Uniting more ministers and pastors for the ministry to reach unreached people for Jesus.

9. More taking care of the poor widows in the churches.

10. More taking care of the leper brother and sister and providing medically, and financial aid to them.

11. Conducting open Crusades and Seminars each city in India and equipping the ministers for the ministry.

12. Please pray for prayer worrier’s team

We need always your encouraging words and mails to us in this New Year to get reinforcement in the work of God and I will give day to day updates to you. YOU ARE ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS AND DAILY PRAYERS.

PRAYER, LOVE AND BIG HUGS FROM CHILDREN, FAMILY AND INDIAN CHRISTIANS

May God bless you and your family.

We are looking forward for your prayerful mail.

Your brother in Jesus.

01-17-10 So Africa/ Cape Town FBF Bro Renier reports in on the preach!

Greetings Bro Robert!

This past weekend was very HOT. The temperature soared into the thirties (Celcius). I went to Strand-beach on Saturday-afternoon to preach there, but because of the strong wind there were not that much people. I did manage to speak to a number of people and to hand out a few tracts so that was good. On Sunday-afternoon I went back to the beach again, but this time the beach was PACKED with people! It was a perfect summer’s day. No wind and very hot! Perfect! I started to preach at the market-place first on the one end of the beach before I went to preach on the beach itself. The preach went really well! Quite a number of people came to talk to me and a number of people even called me over to where they lay on the sand to come and talk with them. Most of the people I talked to questioned me about my “confrontational approach”. I was told once again by a guy studying to become a pastor and by another lady in another conversation that I should preach more about the love of God. I told them that it is UN-biblical to stand before a crowd of people and to tell them that God loves them! I told them that the word “love” does not appear even once in the book of Acts, which is the book that shows us how the apostles went about to evangelize the world, yet the word “fear” occurs almost 10 times in this book! I also added that Jesus Christ preached more about hell than anybody else in the Bible. One lady who argued with me even argued this point and so I said to her: “Do yourself a favour. Go home, pick up a concordance and look up the word ‘hell’ and you will see Who preached more about hell than anyone else.” This lady ended our conversation by saying that she is ashamed of me. The pastor-in-training (or should I say the Pharisee-in-the-making) I spoke to also said that I must stop preaching hate by telling people they’re going to hell. I quickly replied: “Hate? HATE? When was I preaching hate?” He added: “With this sign … it says ‘where will you spend eternity? Heaven or hell when you die.’ You are condemning people by your sign!” I replied: “No, I’m not! I’m merely asking a question with my sign! That’s all!” The Pharisee-in-training also said that people have changed and the times have changed and therefore I should consider changing my method and try to reach the people with more subtlety. I quoted Mark 13:31 to prove that God’s words and God’s methods never changed. I had my hands full yesterday in defending my confrontational approach to modern-day Pharisees and Sad-you-sees! But nevertheless it was a good preach! I enjoyed every minute of it!

Bro Ivan preached all by himself in another town called “Worcestor”. He took his family there to do some shopping in the morning and while they were busy shopping he redeemed the time by preaching in the main-street and on the busiest street-corners in town. He phoned me after his preach to report how it went. He sounded like he had a great time! Praise the LORD!

12-12-09 Daughters of Thunder - Sister Marolyn - East Africa

Greetings Brother Robert! During these last five days we have God working in a mighty way. On tuesday the 8th, the 2 of us, sister Elizeber and myself entered some 12 homes of widows and 6 homes of orphans. As usual once we get to such places we inquire from whether they are saved…;, after which we pray together. So on this particular day we had 9 widows and 4 aged between 13 and 17 received Jesus. Brethren, as we told you before, the main problem these people are facing is lack of good medication, food, counselling and shelter. It is our prayer that someday we find good brothers and sisters to stand with them. But currently we are using the little resources to keep them going. We look forward to going as far as Uganda and other neighbouring countries. Because we can not just confine ourselves to Bungoma and Western province alone. God bless Brother Robert, God bless daughters of thunder,

Shalom ~ SISTER MAROLYN, BUNGOMA, KENYA.

12-11-09 FBF preacher, now a Son of THUNDER in Bellingham… a convert!

Thanks for thinking of me ! You will be happy to see my bare walls no pictures !

love ya man,  keep up the good work!      -Bob  Rude

Brother Bob Rude owns a very successful auto repair shop. This is where I have my vehicles serviced. Evangelism took place, and he eventually hung up a get out of HELL FREE card on the office wall… on another visit, he asked if he could keep some on the counter–someone had stolen his card off the wall! WE had many good discussion… and walking with him around his shop one day, I mentioned something about the pictures of naked women on the walls>> that sin was causing many men to stumble. Eventually, the HOLY SPIRIT convicted him, and he removed the posters that had been there for over a decade!

Yesterday… after receiving his email, I stopped by the shop to fill the GET out of HELL cards… and there he was>>> preaching the gospel to a woman and her son in his office! I set a stack of cards in his hand, we hugged… he never stopped preaching to the woman… I walked into the shop to see no posters on the wall! Glory!

The whole shop has taken notice of a dead man… who now walks in the brilliant LIGHT of King Jesus! HE declares his Saviour and KING on a daily basis… as the LORD draws men, women and children to him! As Jesus said: There are those who were last… and now they are FIRST!

ALL GLORY TO JESUS CHRIST for His Resurrection POWER! Yes… DEAD MEN are still being RESURRECTED! FBF/ Sons of Thunder
