Dear Brethren in Christ,

I must share with you some wonderful news that I just received from Communist Vietnam!

Years ago a young student named David Quach translated for me in the historic 2003 Vietnam Crusade in Saigon as well as later in Elijah Challenge events in California where he attended Seminary. On Christmas Day 2008 David, now a pastor and leader in Vietnam, held a Crusade in Saigon. Before the event, other servants of God trained by David ministered in the streets, hospitals, and marketplaces. Below is his initial report:

“It was you whom the Lord used to raise up many people in this healing move of God, of whom I am one! Thank you for being faithful to the Word and for training me!

There were many cases of asthma, heart disease, liver, stroke, some kind of brain cancer healed. Three cases of deaf ears opened. A few cases with spine problems healed, three or more cases involving people who could walk again after not being able to walk well beforehand…I forgot what else.

I watched the DVD to get a better look at what happened, for it happened so fast.

Around 100 souls were saved. We contacted some after the event, connecting them to pastors of local churches near where they are living. Some are now worshiping with believers.

Even before the Crusade, the pre-event people did a good job, and reportedly from just two staff people, we had at least 35 converts out in the streets as they went out giving the Jesus’ film and ministering to the infirm. Strangers heard about these people who were being healed in the streets, hospitals, market places screaming happily because they were healed, and the strangers themselves came asking to be ministered to, and they accepted Jesus.

A few of our staff people are still out there in hospitals and the streets as the Holy Spirit leads them, ministering to the sick and saving the lost for Jesus. This morning they SMS-ed me informing me that three souls were saved. What work is it that is going on here in Vietnam…HALLELUJAH!!!

However, listen to this great news.

A Christian doctor who was a skeptic used to mock this kind of healing thing as fake, set up by Christians. For some reason he was there (quite a few people for “some reason” were there, some even reluctantly, yet were healed). So this doctor was there—and he was HIV positive. After that night, he got home and tested himself as he is a doctor. The result of his test was NEGATIVE. God is so merciful. And so GREAT!”

I hope you’ll take a moment to view David’s report along with color photos of the Crusade. Just click on http://www.theelijahchallenge.org/Elijah%20Challengers/David%20Quach/David%20Quach%20Index.htm.


It is our joy and hope and calling to raise up many such disciples for our Lord Jesus Christ before our work is done and we depart. Dear partners, thank you for enabling us to discharge the duties of the ministry the Lord has so graciously entrusted to us through your intercessory prayers.

The day after tomorrow William leaves for Brazil to train more servants of God. He has a bit of a cough. Please pray that he will be well before he leaves!


Love in Christ,
