RWANDA AFRICA SPECIAL NOTE
CLINIC WORK PREVENTS EVANGELISM SHUT DOWN
University students, villagers, and local builders came to Follow the Lamb Seminar program which provided 3 times a day. The head builder made a real nice frame for hanging the sanctuary curtains and provided that it be taken over at the end of 2.5 weeks to the next program site.
As I neared the end of the first week, there were 1,300 on the list to be seen in clinic. Going as fast as I could, plus doing 3 meetings a day lasting 2 hours counting set up and take down of my projector and computer, I could only see 30 a day. It seemed all wanted glasses. Soon I discovered the word had spread throughout the whole region that an American white doctor came to help them and was an eye specialist. The news of free glasses drew people from even 4 hours away. The purpose of my clinics to to pray with people after treating their medical needs and then try to lead them to know Jesus and invite them to my evangelistic meetings. Well, of course the the worldly person such a purpose is unheard of. They were scrambling, pushing and shouting. I smiled and spoke to all before clinic and tried to explain some health things. Whenever we had a pause in the frequent calling of "next patient", they would scold the translator for talking too much to me and wasting my time. On one such occasion, he told them we had a phone call. I explained to all of them that I would be shutting down and moving away because the phone call from the representative of the rector requested I be finished. That meant 1 day to do all those people. I knew what would happen after telling them this. We knelt and prayed. Then we had the next meeting and God had sent my friend Malgarita.
She had seen in a vision praying hands. She came to meeting expecting some spiritual blessings from God and found out we were closing things down. She suggested Maranatha Secondary school. I asked for special prayers with her and translator at the end of the meeting. As we prayed, I had peace God would do something big. I hurried back to the room be begin packing.
At the next meeting there was Malgarita with news of acceptance to hold the program at Maranatha and when could they expect me. The door was open.
As we began to make plans that way, Malgarita said she had prayed at home that I would be given a chance to continue on at the University for the interest was very good. She even called the rector in Kigali and gave a good report and urged that another week could make a positive spiritual difference on the campus.
As I went back to clinic, there was everything in uproar. The head elder and builder of school met me with many smiles and pleaded with me not to leave them. I told him, I was surprised for I had assumed someone was reporting that I must be finished and move on. He was surprised for he had set up hundreds of chairs for all coming to clinic and had bent over backwards to do all he could to bless God's medical evangelistic work. He even had a nice bed brought for exams, and it was made up nicely by himself. A white sheet I had taken from my bed was put at the window to keep people from peering in and he fixed it nice for me. He was on the list to be examined and wanted glasses to help him read his Bible. He said the people were angry at him and shouting at him for chasing me away. He said he was not the one chasing.
Even the rector and his wife came to visit. Then I was given special help over the university internet by a Loma Linda Specialist who is a professor at the University. I put pictures up and the professor was so kind as take time in the night after his busy day of work to answer me. I am so thankful to God. I would rush to clinic to present the Bible lesson and at times, did not know what I was going to present till I opened my mouth after praying to God. He delivered the lessons and I too was blessed.
Whole families were experiencing blindness. I was counseled about medications for malaria causing blindness. He warned against frequent use of chloroquine. Malaria is a big problem.
God promises that if we do medical work, it will make another blessing happen. The evangelism will not be stopped or eclipsed. I have just related a story that is a case in point.
DREAM GIVES BEST LODGING OPTION
Embarrased over the women's guest house being full of men and being expected to like the set up, I prayed and did not rest too well. I remained ready to move on. In the night God showed me what to do. It worked out well. You can see that story under "Highlights 2012"
REBUKING SIN BUT TEARS STREAMING FROM MY EYES
The last Sabbath for the divine service on February 11, God had me give strong rebukes to sin and tears were in my eyes as I went for the last sermon. I described and explained 24 abominations which have moved into the church and are soon to be against the church. The worst abomination is over forced Sunday observance. I expected the thousands to get up and flee but there was a great revival and many pledged for baptism and I pray that I will never deny my LORD.
"those whom God calls must be men of deep experience, tried and proved, men of sound judgment, men who will dare to reprove sin in the spirit of meekness, men who understand how to feed the flock. God knows the heart, and he knows whom to select.— Vol. 1, p. 209. {GW92 131.2}
I was shown the low state of God's people; that God had not departed from them; but that they had departed from God, and become lukewarm. They possess the theory of the truth, but lack its saving power. As we near the close of time, Satan comes down with great power knowing his time is short. Especially upon the remnant will his power be exercised. He will war against them, he will seek to divide and scatter them, that they may grow weak and be overthrown. The people of God should move understandingly; their efforts should be united. They should be of the same mind, of the same judgment; then their efforts will not be scattered, but will be of force, and tell in the upbuilding of the cause of present truth. Order must be observed, and there must be union in regard to order, or Satan will take advantage of them. {4bSG 45.2}
I was shown that the enemy would come in every way possible to dishearten the people of God, and perplex and trouble them, and that they should move understandingly and prepare themselves for the attacks of Satan. 1T
I saw that the enemy would come in every way possible to dishearten the people of God and perplex and trouble

Kenya Rift Valley surprise
Baptism surprise! Pastor gets taken under too
by Larose Sample McCluskey on Sunday, January 15, 2012 at 12:20pm ·
Finished Naishi in Rift Valley this morning!
Greetings from friend's house in Nairobi, Kenya, Africa (Evening January 15) Will be doing God's next requirement in Rwanda. Thanks for your prayers.
REBAPTIZED PASTOR
The Naishi project in Rift Valley is done. Sabbath the church was full and the District Officer had a soldier drive me to the home where I had a room to put equipment there, then he took me to the river for the baptism. There were 16 on the list but the focus on preparing them did not get done and they would have come if they knew about it. There were only five ready and while the last of those 5 was being baptized she was so frightened that she pulled the pastor under. I caught in on film. The whole witnessing crowd was laughing like I have never heard at a baptism. It was too funny for the solemn meaning of burying sins and coming up in a new walk with Jesus The mother of the woman being baptized was holding the umbrella for me to shade me from the burning sun. She was laughing so hard about the pastor going under that I shut off the movie camera. After the pastor recovered his composure I suggested he ask if others watching wanted baptism too. There were 11 more who signed to be baptized in April. Some insisted it be done immediately. After examining and questioning, the pastor took two into the stream. The waterfalls right beside me on the rock prevented us from hearing his prayer but I noticed he had a big stick for the next one to hold onto. He kept taking her hand off his arm.
HEALED PATIENT IS BAPTIZED
I saw 300 patients. There were a thousand registered to be treated, the pastor informed me. Some of the cases were so challenging. I was disappointed that since the people had listened all day while waiting, they had no interest to come in the evening to hear my seminar. I was told it was because they are afraid in the night and they fear the Adventists. However, one woman named Margaret was prayed for as I finished her treatments. I felt impressed to invite her to be baptized like Jesus, by going under the water. She was very willing. Her life has been full of trouble and she was so ready to follow Jesus. I sent my translator to her home to study immediately and get her ready. She was baptized and received the Swahili Talking Bible MP3 player that Gary Fuller sent. Margaret was healed the next day after being seen in clinic. She was very excited about that.
THE MP3 PLAYERS HAD ARRIVED IN MY POST OFFICE BOX JUST IN THE RIGHT TIMING FOR ME TO GET THEM BEFORE GOING TO KENYA. I was amazed to find the package on my way to the airport. God made sure I found them before boarding my flight. What a blessing. They were so excited to get them. Many came begging for one. There were exactly 7 baptized and 7 MP3 players.
Each evening there were about 40 attending. We had a small electric line. It was barely enough power. The little light bulbs were not really strong enough for reading the Bible texts. On Sabbath about 400 attended. By the last Sabbath the prejudice was down and the local members came begging for DVDS that can be won at quiz time if people listened. We had language translations into Kikuiyu and Swahili. That is really difficult for me. My mind is moving along really fast but had to pause twice as long for translations. Many times I had to pray for help when one or the other translator decided to add in stuff. I lost my concentration on where I was going.
I learned as I left that there was also the Kisi language. No wonder they had no interest in coming. No one bothered to tell me. I was watching the children get up and run out and have a blank look so asked and discovered they knew only Kikuiyu.
SURPRISE FREE GAME PARK TOUR! I was very tired as I began the project and during my reading of Desire of Ages, found the strong words about taking time to rest. God told his disciples to come and rest awhile. I chose Wednesday. That first Wednesday was spent sleeping and trying to get well. Time zone difference made it 820AM at home when it was 720pm in Kenya. The second Wednesday, the pastor asked for the District officer’s permission to have his driver take us in the land rover to the local animal park. It is located just within visible distance but took about 1.5 hours to drive there over very rough dirt roads. The park requested so much money. (10,000 shillings) After calling the district officer who had provided free use of the vehicle and realizing I had been serving their people free, we had free access. It was so nice! We saw lions, buffalo, rhino, and so many zebras. The chimps and baboons were amazing. The driver was thrilled and said he planned to take his family there someday. We drove through as these animals roamed freely. It was a thrill to have them in the fields near the vehicle. We watched large white pelicans fishing in the lake and saw some opportunist smaller birds which looked like grebes waiting for a fish which the pelican might drop.
They had requested 10,000 shillings and God provided free access for us. The break away from the routine was therapeutic for me. The many challenges in Naishi are behind me now. I enjoyed watching the baptism.
After finishing last night, we packed up the sanctuary and awarded the baptized people with MP3 Bibles and this morning awaited transport out of Naishi. After leaving at 10AM, there was a man awaiting prayers for healing. He waited along the way at a hotel. He had heard of my prayers raising a dead person. His daughter works at the conference office and heard through a man James who had visited Naishi. So he requested I stop for prayers. Then I visited the hospital under construction at the Central Conf. office. Finally by 6pm, we arrived safely in friend Roberts home. I was able to get a bit of internet catch up. So thankful to God for answered prayers
a nslations. I age some delicious foods, enjoyed mangos, and mango juice. I was thankful for 4 wool blankets and wore a coat to bed and a nice fleece top.

Mayan Indian Village Update
Mayan Indian Village in Southern Mexico
Dec. 8, I met Kody Kostenko and we set up the sanctuary together during a very important time of his life. (Wedding) As we neared the end of the program, the rest of the family and friends arrived and yet we nearly finished the condensed form of the Sanctuary program. God had led us to do this program plus told us there would be a second series to do before leaving for Africa.
God led several to seek a closer walk with Him in Mexico.
Jenny and Kyle arrived having left the minute the last final exam ended at WWU. Kyle expected to find more ocean opportunities yet the things we found on the internet regarding Limones were not true.
We helped with many details of wedding prep and took pictures which we will upload next under different title.
By Dec 20 and 21, God was helping us find His second site for work. We did it near Limones and discovered many who speak Mayan. We were thrilled as we listened to them singing in their native tongue. They even have Bibles in Mayan. Of course it is best if we speak that but our translator knew Spanish so we worked in that language.
There were a total of 14 who were interested in baptism as we closed our small 6 day series. They gave us so many gratitude gifts. A nice meal of tamalies was prepared. Special frozen fruit desert without milk was made and a beautiful guitar was given to Kyle. WOW! It is a nice sounding one. He is thrilled and played Amazing Grace for me. I loved it! Reminds me of when Ron played for me years ago.
Kyle helped set up and take down equipment and made sure the quiz prizes got into the hands of the children and adults who answered the questions. It was such a precious thing to have my son along. It has been 31/2 years. It was with a grateful heart that there were friends who fixed things up so nicely and gave us more food than we could eat. They transported us to meetings daily. They insisted on watching our little dwelling to make sure nothing happened to us or God's tools.
One person who came to clinic said God took away all her pain when I prayed. She was healed.
Others were so delighted for the glasses they received that they brought fruits from their gardens.
There was a special blessing on the last 10 flights which helped me make it through the travels. I was bumped up to the part of the plane where the seats are wider, and can recline. I am so thankful to God for this comfort. There is also more liquids and foods offered.
God takes such good care of me. I praise His name.
ANOTHER VILLAGE
Two men came on motor bikes to get glasses in clinics. They came back for meetings and gave their hearts to Jesus and requested baptism plus the meetings in their own village. They received tracts and books and DVD with great rejoicing in the truth. Who knows how far the seeds of God will travel when we sow beside all waters as Jesus requested.
MORE PRAYER
There was more prayer and Bible preparation done this evangelistic series. God told us that success is proportionate to that. There were more miracles that God did to help in all the efforts. Some day we can tell them all.
There was a rainbow and pillar of cloud while I was praying with some women regarding God's second site for us to work. We kept looking for the place. We thought we had it all lined up and the moment that door closed, God placed the most amazing rainbow in the sky that doubled and trippled. I knew He was working on the answer. We kept praying.
We had only seconds from the time of one possibility being checked out to the time we delivered the first message of the series. Word of mouth carried the advertising quickly for us when they learned there were free glasses in clinic. We had 35 people the first day. We enjoyed the love of these people. We ate in their homes and prayed with and for their loved ones. We had more food than we could eat.
When Jenny translated for me it was a strange feeling. I had taught her Spanish! Now she was quicker in it. I had lost my fluency and later began thinking and dreaming in it again. The people were surprised when I began visiting with them. Someone had told them I knew nothing of Spanish!!! Funny! That makes people feel they can speak freely about you.
They loved us in that second location and we loved them.
Ten people came to place us in a sweet little home across from Lulu and Daniel. They all had one purpose. (Our comfort) It was so sweet. Then at the end they all wanted to help us to the airport. God blessed our efforts.
You can read more of the story on facebook.
We pray that God will help those wanting baptism be able to receive it soon. Names were left with responsible people who promised to make sure there was good follow up. It was vacation time for those who are responsible for baptisms.
Remember to pray for the African program in the Rift Valley now. Meetings are starting soon. I am writing from Amsterdam on my way there. I am thrilled that Elisha will help me arrive there. He will meet me at the Nairobi airport and drive me plus God's sanctuary to Nakuru. You will hear about it in 2 weeks if not sooner when I find internet in Nairobi on the way to fulfil the request in Rwanda.
Your fellow colaborer in the Master's Vineyard,
Dr. Rose

Update from Pola, Mindoro Philippines and God's next projects
RE: Jungle village of Pola in Mindoro, Philippines, Thanksgiving Walla Walla University break time.
AFRICA Need: TICKET IS ON "HOLD" AWAITING FUNDS TO DO THE SAME PROGRAM IN RIFT VALLEY KENYA, Africa Nov/Dec 2011
Donations can be done as details show in How to Help section to the right in this blog. Paypal takes a fee but Missions Unlimited is doing the service free. PRAISE GOD! FUNDING is on its way. The held tickets were dropped as funds are not in place yet. The effort is rescheduled for Dec. 29 starting up time in Africa rift valley. Thanking God for the answered prayer Rthat we can do this work for Him in the Rift valley. I am pleased to discover Elisha Langat will also be there in that time frame visiting home from his place in USA.
If Jenny goes for the start up time up to classes of Spring quarter, we need another 2,000 for hers. She would hold evangelestic meetings for the youth and doe eye examinations, intraoccular pressures and give out eye glasses. This is a great help to my clinics and meetings. We are deciding for her based on funding.
STORY FOR POLA EVENT JUST FINISHED:

STORY FOR POLA EVENT JUST FINISHED:
From here to there, we (Jenny and I) did a lot of walking, flying, ferry time, motor bike, canoe, tricycle, and van travels. The big sanctuary set was moved by friends in the Calima church where it was stored by a member since June. It went by road while Jenny and I went on a shortcut down a path, over a river and road because the sanctuary took up all the space in the vehicle.
We were happy with the response and appreciation of the little church group which grew while we were there. The sanctuary has a way of planting the seeds in a stronger way because of all the graphics and the model.
FOLLOW THE LAMB SEMINAR is finished now in Pola, Mindoro, Philippines. So many precious memories are in our hearts. The sweet smiles of the helpers in clinic, and their joy at finding remedies to help others with, was satisfying. The Mission training seminar on the weekend was well attended. Jenny told many of her success stories of things that are quite simple and easy for anyone to do.
Jenny and I Just finished a Philippines medical evangelism effort in the Philippines in a little fisherman village in Mindoro called Pola. It was a fun way to spend Thanksgiving doing medical exams and 3 meetings a day with 5 on Sabbath. We had 9 baptized and many made commitments. Heavy rain brought a relaxing clean sound and plenty of water. I like the reminder of the symbol of the Holy Spirit being poured out for these last days. God is doing that. I see Him moving in a big way.
Jenny was surrounded with children. It was God's blessing to me for on November 1, 21 years ago Ron and I lost a son. It is therapy to me to share the gospel with and be around many children on that anniversary. In heaven we hope for many children to join us at our reunion in our home there.
I need to get some light on the sanctuary into Kenya in the Rift Valley. I have a ticket on hold and am waiting for God to provide.
I was very encouraged to hear that the village near by of Calima in the Philippines still has a full house of worship because of the work we did there 6 months ago. The Megavoice Bibles are a very strong thing in fortifying people for the final days. There is so much trouble with computer games occupying the children's time that those Bible are a real blessing.
I saw in the Seattle airport a station where one can speed recharge batteries of phone, ipod and ipad. The fee is 3 dollars. I thought about my own body recharging. God is faithful to me at almost 60 years. It is really a miracle how He speed charges my battery. I love to study about the life of Jesus while traveling in the airplane. The Kindle helps me do that. I really desire to love people like Jesus and spend each day as though it were my last day and last chance to win souls for the kingdom of heaven.
Arnold generously used his tallents for Jesus for creating another sanctuary. (furniture portions) I am needing another set but am waiting for God to provide for that one. I can move easier on these flights with limited luggage constraints. The other nice beautiful wooden set seen on this blog site is over 500 pounds and very difficult financially for moving it.
This newer set is of tent poles and plastic picture tarps. I praise God for this which will immediately be traveling to preach the WORDS truth for these last days.
As we come to the end of the year, we know we are another year closer to the coming of Jesus.
I am hoping you will remember to pray for the need to get some light on the sanctuary into Kenya in the Rift Valley. I have a ticket on hold and am waiting for God to provide. All is packed and ready to go. The ticket is on "hold" awaiting funds. It is in the hands of God. He has heard me pray about this for several months. I am hoping to get some Final Events DVD to take. The location is near Baraton University where we have a friend Danny Harlimana.
Thanks for your prayers.
Jenny is back in the University of Walla Walla. She is in the last weeks of the quarter studying hard. She wishes she could go with me. Thanks for helping and praying for the 3 Angels messages to be heard around the world so Jesus can come sooner.
Dr. Rose
Like pictures? Let me know . Please pray daily at 6AM for us. We are praying for more of God's Holy Spirit and to be more like Jesus daily. That way we will have a deeper love and greater wisdom to reach the precious people He has created before the door of mercy is closed.
Pray for the December program in Mexico. Things are coming together.

Medical Evangelism In Pola, Mindoro
During the short Thanksgiving break from Walla Walla University studies, Dr. Rose and daughter Jenny are headed to do daily medical evangelism. There will be hours daily where people can have medical checkups and eye exams. If the need is there, people will obtain a pair of free glasses. These are available because of generous donors.
Those who are attending meetings and answering quiz questions, will have a chance to receive DVDS that have testimonies of answers to prayer in the lives of Dr. Rose and Jenny. These are eye witness stories of God's power. In the time that Jesus lived on this earth, each miracle was designed to make important lessons. The man who had been healed of so many years of being crippled was healed on the Sabbath and told to carry his bed to publish the act. Lazarus was raised from the dead after 4 days to make it clear that only God's power could do this and he was really dead. Many did not believe in the resurection. It was a very powerful lesson. Jesus multiplied the bread in a little boys lunch to show it is His power that provides for us continually. Just in case we might have missed the lesson, it was chosen to feed a crowd that was beyond all human possibilities. Today, as God is doing miracles in my life, I search for lessons in each one. It does not take much searching in most cases. If you have had a chance for one of those 52 story DVDS, it will be a faith builder for your life. If you want one and have never seen one, let me know and between mission trips, I will try to get one to you. (If you are in USA) In other countries, you will need to come to meeting where Dr. is speaking.
If the funds are enough during this Philippines medical evangelism event, there is a plan for each who decide to commit their life to Jesus and follow His example in baptism, those will be ones who can have a Bible. If there are any available, the Tagalog Megavoice Bible will be given.
Flight begins early this morning. After reaching Manilla in the night, our host friends will help us to the Batangas pier where we will take a long ferry. Then we will be met by Pastor and travel to the village. Immediately we begin clinics and the evening meetings. We plan to do morning and evening meetings plus clinics till no one is left wanting to be seen.
After Sunday noon, we will begin the car, then ferry, then overnight and fly early back to Jenny's classes at WWU. She will miss only the morning classes yet she will arrive while it is still morning and hurry to her harp lesson and afternoon lab.
We are praying daily and every hour for God's Holy Spirit to empower this program God has already blessed. He showed His favor in providing already for tickets as I returned from Africa. Tickets were purchased just 2 days before departure.
Thanks for praying daily for God's Follow the Lamb Seminars. Remember that there were only 3 wise men and a few shepherds plus Anna and Simeon in the temple who were given the blessed news of the arrival of the heavenly Dignitary Jesus Who came as a baby just as the prophesies said. Today, God is faithful to warn all of His soon approach again.
We pray that we will help hasten that soon coming by sharing the good news to all who will listen. Thanks for supporting with your prayers and donations. Also you can help by encouraging signing up to this blog.
If you are giving for Bibles please make sure you send an email to specify this.

Lazarus was raised from the dead after 4 days to make it clear that only God's power could do this and he was really dead. Many did not believe in the resurection. It was a very powerful lesson. Jesus multiplied the bread in a little boys lunch to show it is His power that provides for us continually. Just in case we might have missed the lesson, it was chosen to feed a crowd that was beyond all human possibilities. Today, as God is doing miracles in my life, I search for lessons in each one. It does not take much searching in most cases. If you have had a chance for one of those 52 story DVDS, it will be a faith builder for your life. If you want one and have never seen one, let me know and between mission trips, I will try to get one to you. (If you are in USA) In other countries, you will need to come to meeting where Dr. is speaking.
If the funds are enough during this Philippines medical evangelism event, there is a plan for each who decide to commit their life to Jesus and follow His example in baptism, those will be ones who can have a Bible. If there are any available, the Tagalog Megavoice Bible will be given.
Flight begins early this morning. After reaching Manilla in the night, our host friends will help us to the Batangas pier where we will take a long ferry. Then we will be met by Pastor and travel to the village. Immediately we begin clinics and the evening meetings. We plan to do morning and evening meetings plus clinics till no one is left wanting to be seen.
After Sunday noon, we will begin the car, then ferry, then overnight and fly early back to Jenny's classes at WWU. She will miss only the morning classes yet she will arrive while it is still morning and hurry to her harp lesson and afternoon lab.
We are praying daily and every hour for God's Holy Spirit to empower this program God has already blessed. He showed His favor in providing already for tickets as I returned from Africa. Tickets were purchased just 2 days before departure.
Thanks for praying daily for God's Follow the Lamb Seminars. Remember that there were only 3 wise men and a few shepherds plus Anna and Simeon in the temple who were given the blessed news of the arrival of the heavenly Dignitary Jesus Who came as a baby just as the prophesies said. Today, God is faithful to warn all of His soon approach again.
We pray that we will help hasten that soon coming by sharing the good news to all who will listen. Thanks for supporting with your prayers and donations. Also you can help by encouraging signing up to this blog.
If you are giving for Bibles please make sure you send an email to specify this.

Homeward out of Africa
Nov. 16/17, 2011
Greetings from Kenya, Africa as I wait for my late night flight to Netherlands and on to connect with Jenny who will help me with a short event in the Philippines.
So many are now hoping for the soon coming of Jesus because of these efforts of meetings in Kigali, Rwanda, and Bugema Uganda. Our God is faithful to warn those sincerely hungering after truth. Just before Jesus was born on this earth, wise men were studying and were shown the star to find Him. The shepherds were told because they wanted to see Him come. Now as we are in the last days, Jesus is sending me to places where He can call His sheep. So many do not care that we are in the final days. They are busy with movies/shows, concerts, studies, and too busy to get the sin out of the life and keep His commandments. I see so many signs in the troubled hearts, the tribe wars, the anger among professed Christians, and in volcanic eruptions and other natural disasters. Jesus is coming soon.
PRAY FOR GOD TO PROVIDE FOR NEXT EVENT OF MEDICAL EVANGELIM IN PHILIPPINES He has asked for us to do. We need this help in the next 48 hours. Praise God the prayer was answered in 24 hrs before flight.
VOLCANO
I Just moved out of an area of Africa (Uganda and Rwanda countries) near a huge volcanic eruption that is ongoing right now in Democratic REpublic of Congo across the border of Uganda and Rwanda. The news shows the lava shooting up over a thousand feet into the sky. The fire seen on the news is amazing. They claim it is making records for its force in this eruption. I just found this news on Yahoo. Thankfully it did not hinder my flight home. God does direct my going and coming. "Angels attend the steps of those who go and come at God's command" DA 48 . I always ask God when to go and when to return. God has His own time schedule and has the right to send his soldier (me) anywhere He wants at any hour that He wants. I have told Him to manage all my time and my schedule. This volcano is making a record right now in DRC.
Arrival back in USA
There was a very kind couple Karin and Steve Terry who picked me up at the airport and gave me a warm welcome at their home near the airport. The lentil soup and olive bread was just what I needed at the end of the long, tiring trip. God is good all the time. I see Him giving me a great team of support to help me optimize all energy possible to win souls. Karin even offered to help with housework. That is a great blessing and greatly appreciated. There are so many DVD making demands on me to record all the holy memories of what God has done. Every miracle is His designed package of instructions for future steps in HIs work. These are also faith builders in those who come to the meetings. They receive quiz prizes of DVDS of past stories. I have seen God raise the dead, cast out demons, heal the sick people, laptops, projectors, cars, and stand above me in a pillar of fire when life threatening events happen. I have seen Him call audiences by telling certain ones I am coming. I have had Him give me directions to move quickly into a country where I do not know where I am going and just show me a mountain. Then He helps me find the mountain. God is leading. Jesus is coming soon. All that we can do to help win souls can hasten His coming.
Next trip is Nov 20 to Palo. Remember to pray daily for the honest to find the truth and the sick to be helped by Dr. Rose and assistant and future doctor Jenny.

Africa Stories
RWANDA, Kigali meetings are finished.
The Follow the Lamb Seminar sanctuary meetings in the University for Adventist Laymen finished with a nice baptism in the trailer which was placed next to the school. Ten precious souls were baptized. Among them was a little 10 year old boy who was so determined to be baptized that he instructed his mother she better not stop him for he had to be ready to go to heaven.
He was so happy at the baptism. He was helping to get the water into the tank.
Another university student was troubled with family resistance and a threat of loss of school fees but she was set free to take baptism as she wanted just the morning of the baptism. She had quite a story to tell.
Just before going to the 2nd African country, Uganda, I saw a rainbow in the clouds that was shaped like a fish. When I took pictures, I noted many fish in the sky shaped in lighter colors during the sunset.
Well, it was such a pleasure on Sunday to see 21 precious souls baptized on Bugemma University campus by the church pastor we had seen in 2006. He was very happy to do the baptism.
Among those baptized were 8 out of families who are not believing in Jesus. They want special prayers for helping their families to understand.
I wanted to have God help me pick 2 out of the 21 who should get the Luganda audio Bibles prepared by Gospel Outreach volunteer, friend, Gary. I asked for them to express a special thanks. So few remember to really express their gratitude for they are all cold and wet and rushing for changing their clothing. One young man came who had cars all over his shirt. Another man came to say thanks who had been very sick and God healed him. He had been sent home by the nurse yet refused to go because he wanted baptism. After special prayer for him, I heard him tell me how God lifted his sickness off from him. He also drank the charcoal I gave him. He was about 5'10 inches tall and I think he was a senior. He was very attentive to meetings.
Last night as I left Uganda, I entered and Dr. Kisunzu's wife was checked for intraoccular pressures. Dr. Kisunzu told the security guard to also get his checked. Then others came and still more till I had checked airlines personel as well. It was fun. They really helped with my bags, and escorted me always looking out for me.
Both locations, (countries) received DVD of stories of what God has done as well as Sanctuary lessons done in another place. Though it is in English, most of these people are catching 90 percent of what is being said.
I praise God for Steven traveled with the sanctuary by bus on road to prevent my cost of 3 dollars a kilo for 3 65 pound bags. He was a great help. I was also happy to have Homer come for a day to help. Wish he had come at the beginning for when he was baptized in Bukavu, there was tribal wars that broke out between pastors and members and I only got to do 5 days of meetings. He has remained faithful to keep Sabbath even when persecuted for it in his schools. So many schools are forcing Sabbath studying and schooling.
1. STORY: LITTLE BOY WHO WON A DVD IN OUR MEETINGS 6 years ago.
It is not a good thing to give to a tiny child's hand, I was thinking as I put a Final Events DVD in the hand of a tiny boy. What if he plays with it, gets it wet, or scratches it? I remember how tormented I was that day as I saw there were more wanting the DVDS than I had. I felt the big ones should get it first.
One little boy received a Final events DVD for his drawing when he was 3 years old in 2006 in Lukanga University at meetings held by Jenny, Kyle, Ian and Dr. Rose. Another child was 5 years old. NOW 6 years later, I just met the father who tells me that the DVD has been carefully preserved and shared. Mother does translations and tells others of the texts pointing to the final events of this earth. Every Friday when there was electricity, they spend time watching it again. Often the home is full of visitors to also see it. From this DVD placed in the hands of a child--so many have been helped for the last 6 years.
IN FAITH, I HAVE MADE DVDS of experiences of what God has done for me. There are 52 of them. It is exciting to see people who treasure God's power. "Spiritual things are spiritually discerned". God has used these to bring in more of the family to also choose the truth. It is a great thing to watch. God tells us that if you win one soul, that one brings at least 5 more. God works on multiplication.
The father of this family was in Dr. Kisunzu's home waiting for his surgery on a growth under his chin. It was my chance to hear some feed back on past work done for Jesus. When we thought we had done so little, our little in the hands of Jesus was multiplid like He did with the bread to feed 5,000.
IN FAITH, any funds I can use out of the home budget is for purchasing blank DVDS. When I get the chance, I do 3,000 copies of my Sanctuary program and put them in envelopes. These copies take up my time but God helps me.
2. STORY: PATIENT WHO CAME TOO LATE FOR SERVICE in Congo
Lukanga University in Democratic Republic of Congo was given Follow the Lamb Seminar and the dean of the school of Theology Dr. Kavis translated for me. (January 2006) He also translated in clinics. He was very happy with the program and saw the results. It was broadcasted on the radio. Many came after hearing of free services on their radios. When they arrived, they missed their chance for the doctor was already gone.
One woman was a relative of Dr. Kisunzu where we stayed while doing evangelism in RISTAKA High School. This relative had a cripling condition in one leg. It took her a long time to move to Lukanga for help. She was extreemly disappointed. She asked around what I might have taught some one else with a similar condition. She heard of the use of charcoal and hoped it would help in her condition as well. She worked hard to apply it daily to her leg. She was so excited to find full use again of her leg. She is really happy and says she was helped by me because of what I did to help another.
Here is another example of God multiplying the effort we did for Him.
3. STORY: Genocide memories of 1994
A person told of his going through the genocide and the shock of the surprise that friends would fail to assist when they could. One told of being in a hospital and offered a bed if he would lie and tell of a made up sickness. He refused to lie. He walked around all night watching and noticed a certain tribe of people were absent and he began to fear all in the hospital would be killed. Later it was his concern to rescue one woman who had a little baby and others from his country in DRC. He realized they were soon to die and he pulled them out the window. Others inside where pulling on the legs to keep them inside. The woman's husband had already escaped. After getting about 5 out, he put them in safety and was commanded to go and watch. He refused to help because he was against killing. He told of the horrors he saw with his own eyes.
4. STORY- another person telling genocide memories of 1994
Another person told how her father was an evangelist and fled to be safe at headquarters for the church. A person betrayed them and called the soldiers and all pastors were murdered. She went from home to home without anyway to feed and protect her daughters but each home locked the door in her face. These were people who were "friends" and "Christians". The horrors of the genocide survivors continue in their hearts when they see someone get up and preach who never asked forgiveness. There was one woman who walked so many miles to a relative's home because the soldiers demanded about 20 dollars for a ransome. The "Christian" relative had the money but refused to help so she was murdered in front of them by the soldiers. The relative was watching as her corpse was tossed into a ditch near them.
God says the end of time will be worse than the world has ever seen. The world has seen horrible things. When the Spirit of the Lord is withdrawn from those who do not want the Bible to be applied in their hearts, such crimes as the world has never seen will continue.
5. STORY - - 96 and 97 year old tells her stories of the genocide. She and husband were stripped naked and ran to hide in a cave with no food or water for several days. God sent help and even gave the son a dream of what happened. He went to find his parents. There was a place she prayed daily. It was outside and she kept it swept clean and visited that place often. God has seen the atrocities done by family members to each other. God knows it is time to get His people.
We can do our part in hastening His coming to end all sickness, war, betraying, death, and torturing.
We can share what God has done for us. It is heaven's most powerful witness. It is a powerful tool. We should praise God daily and help push back the tide of evil sweeping over the world in these last days. Reach out to help and rescue the perishing, care for the dying. Jesus can save now while the door of mercy is still open. Revelation 16 is coming soon as the door closes on this world's probation.
