10-06-09      FBF India is flooded by major Cyclone! Help needed!

Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ,
Greetings in His Name!
Please help us as we help those who have been effected by the cyclone, victims at Andhra Pradesh. They need our immediate attention, without which many precious lives will be lost. Please extend your supporting hands as the Lord leads you to help our fellow brothers and sisters. You can bring a smile in many faces who have been struggling with pain, sickness and death.

The project is on. Our team is going for medical camp to dis-inflect villages where many people dead and without any help – very strong phenomena and people in very pathetic condition and very urgent needs. The team has borrowed some money and going ahead as it is very urgent. The situation is just terrible. If you can help it will be very nice.

Houses are under water, some domestic animals have died, some tube-wells are under water, all the latrines are broken and useless, some trees have been blowen over, they don’t have safe drinking water, they can’t use latrine, they are not getting food, there are No medical facilities in the affected area.

A few of our rural churches were affected by the floods. Most homes are half way or fully under water. Last more than 10 (ten) days they had no food to eat, even drinking water was unsafe to drink, also no medicines to help those in need. Though we have no present picture of this area but the situation is very bad. Till yesterday it was raining.

I am sending some more flood effected photos for your kind information. Please pray for my people bad situation. if you possible please do any help for my flood effected people.. We pray for you and your needs. God bless you sister.

In His Service,

Pastor. P.Prasanna J

10-05-09     FBF Team leader receives new banners

Dear Servant of God Rev. Robert.

Receive my Calvary greetings. How are you servant of God here in Kenya we are just still in the presence of the living God and his beloved son who loved us and given himself as Ransom of our sins and he is the one who commissioned us to preach the Gospel to every creature every nation to those who believe may be saved. I was grateful when I heard of your visit to Nigeria may God give you more vision.

I want to thank you very much for the banners and other evangelistic tools on which I received from brother Ben… now proclaiming the Gospel will be perfect. The only problem is transportation on which we ask God to intervene.

Pray for us that God may save people as we proclaim the gospel

Yours

My dear spiritual Dad in Christ, prophet ROBERT, USA,

I bless you in the Mighty Name of Jesus, Wow praise God!!!!,

Thanks, my dear prophet ROBERT ! It’s great to catch up with you too. Currently, God has my hands in a lot of things - singing and ministering as a prophet, loving on the homeless and teaching/preaching of your trips in Kenya, and traveling and speaking/ministering in various other churches as a guest speaker. He is blessing - and our family is healthy and doing well. Thank you for your thoughts and your prayers.

09-08-09   Dear Brother and sister from the NW

To our brother Robert,
A quick note of encouragement, with our prayers for a fruitful mission trip
this month!

Thank you for con’t prayer for our youngest, Jo. Her court hearing was an answer to prayer. The Judge clearly spoke Wisdom from the HS. Since then,
it’s been trial by fire for her, as her husband is enraged yet afraid. We will be seeing her again tomorrow (altho she is now back teaching).

The Word of YHWH you shared was powerful & revealing. YHWH is Awesome, …dwelling in unapproachable Light. This brought a new perspective on prayer to our King, enthroned.
May His Word again become flesh in His own, who believe & cling to Him.
Looking for that blessed hope & glorious appearing,
Chuck & Diane

09-08-09    Bro Dennis/ colege student appreciates recent PL

Otherwise God bless you so much and we are doing well here in Kenya on that the we miss you so much.

yours, Dennis

09-07-09   FBF Bungoma Coordinator speaks of conversions

Greetings Bro. Robert! I thank God because of the response or the so
called turn-up in those areas we go. It is mere truth that at first
people would be astonished to come across to pump into 3 or 4 guys
preaching in the open without huge speakers erected on the roof tops.
They would conclude that maybe these guys have gone berserk. But after
listening to the message their hearts burn and realize that something
must be done. A fortnight ago my team and i went out to preach as
usual!!! Little did we know that 2 chaps were going to give their
lives to Jesus. I was the first to take the stage and as i was going
round the market after preach, 2 guys approached me and told me that
they wanted to receive Jesus. One guy told me that he was a smoker and
that he had on several occasions tried to stop but to no avail! The
other guy was alcoholic and just like the former,” he had tried to do
without beer but he just end-up drinking himself silly. I first led
them in salvation prayer, then advised them on the steps they must
take and finally we prayed together. Right now they are doing well and
they both stoped smoking and drinking respectively”, praise be to
God. So FBF is spreading the Gospel in a unique, special and
unprecedented way. God bless FBF, God bless the founder… Rev Robert

09-05-09    Prayer warrior and Pastor continues to uphold FBF

Bwana asifiwe sana dad Robert,

God is our source of supply, and He really stands by those who honor Him and
His mighty works toward mankind.

Thank you for the work that FBF is doing in Kisumu.

We read of how the widow woman in Elijah’s day was in a horrible situation.
She was ready to use her last bit of meal and oil to make a cake for her and
her son and then starve to death. As Elijah requested the widow water and a small bread so we thank God He is using you mightyly to feed many people the word of God. We thank you Dad Robert for your teachings. I, and my family we are praying for you that we shall keep our secrets. We are waiting for you dad on the situation I told you earlier. When we have a dad like you, we don’t feel lonely.

Elijah, busy doing God’s work, came to her and asked if she would bake a
cake for him first. This was not a selfish request. No, Elijah was putting
her in the position to be blessed of God, and blessed she was. First Kings
17:14 says, “For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall
not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD
sendeth rain upon the earth.” Isn’t God good! What seemed like a no-win
situation turned out to be a wonderful blessing from the Lord.

I am lifting any request you may have up to the throne, and I know that God
will help and bless you in all ways needed. Keep your eyes upon the Lord
and trust Him to make the way for you and yours.

God is always on time. It may not seem like He’s on time to the natural
man, but faith tells us that He is. Faith tells us to put our complete
trust in the promises and wait patiently on Him.

Thank you dad.

We hope to hear from you.

Isaac & Eunice.
