Dear Friends and Saints,
Today I will be flying out to Vancouver, Canada to conduct the Basic Training for a Vietnamese Church. The Lord has graciously given us favor with Vietnamese churches around the world, and we look forward to what He will do this weekend. (Click here for a YouTube video taken in Vietnam.)
Please pray that the Lord will grant me strength, grace, and wisdom to train His Vietnamese disciples effectively this weekend.
Below are the details just in case you want to forward them on to someone in the Vancouver area.

We just received the below testimony from Mr. Bob Stroud who attended the Basic Training this past weekend in Houston. Do rejoice with us, dear ones ~
“A new associate of mine recently set up a meeting with a couple from his church.   They needed help with their finances.  During the meeting I discovered that the husband was not working because of an injury to his back.  He had fallen out of a tree several months ago and still had a great deal of pain in his back.  In addition, he could not sleep on his back – consequently he was not getting needed rest.
 Now remember, this was the first time I had met this couple and they could possibly become a new client.  Do I pray for him or not? You can imagine the thoughts going through my mind – “They will think I’m crazy – and not become a client.”  “What will the associate I’m training think?” etc.  As we were leaving, I got up enough courage to ask if he would let me pray for his back.  He gladly agreed, telling me he gets in the prayer line at church all the time for healing.  All of us got in the van and I shared how Jesus never prayed for anyone to be healed – that He commanded them to be healed.  I began commanding his back to be healed and the pain to go.  I asked if he felt any different.  He started moving his neck from side to side easily and stated he had felt warmth in his back. There was no discomfort!! Praise God!!  The true test will be when he goes to sleep.  Will he be able to lie flat on his back?  I’m waiting to hear if that happened.  Will keep you posted.”

Praise the Lord for using Bob in this way!

Sincerely in Christ,
