Urgent Road block in God's work

This note is from Dr. Larose McCluskey, not Jenny
 In  16  hours we were to begin an expensive 7,000 dollar ticket flight to Rwanda with medical supplies and evangelism. We may shake the dust off this time. We are in much prayer. The nonrefundable flights are not yet cancelled. We keep praying. I don't want to be like Jonah and Elijah and run from an unpleasant assignment from God but it seems He is opening up another option in another country. I am praying for wisdom. I keep thinking of Elijah who was not supposed to run from Jezebel's threats but he did. Jonah did not want to go to violent people.
 
God goes before us so many times we see it. This last trip into the Philippines in November was no exception. A young woman saw us in a dream ahead of time. In Papua New Guinea it happened as well. In Rwanda it happened 26 years back as a man had a dream. Also as God stood above us in a pillar of fire by night in the North Rwanda mts. In the day He stood above in a pillar of cloud over the baptism on Muzo mountain. Chariots of fire were seen on the clouds by the translators sister and an announcement from  heaven that two of God's warriors were coming to give the final warning messages. This was also on Muzo mountain. A pillar of cloud was seen above my own home during the resistance of April 25, 2010 which President Ted Wilson was impressed by God to intervene in for Nyanza church. The result was a good harvest.

Jenny and I are scheduled to fly tonight to Rwanda Africa. All is ready except the group who invited us! We have not yet cancelled the tickets.

The group who invited us are terrified of a sudden pressure from leadership that threatened them. If they welcome me or lodge me or move ahead with the medical evangelism efforts without the church paperwork in place, real bad things will happen. I had death threats on me last time I was there at God's request. The paper work is always done by those inviting me. All know this all over the world.

  They knew since October 26 when God confirmed He wanted it done, and the paperwork did not get done. The invitation was in September. Jesus Himself was rejected by people groups like the Samarians and He had to leave certain areas but later returned.

   I was still on the computer, praying and wondering what move to make. Seven thousand of God's dollars were invested in tickets. Perhaps this time it shall be to shake the dust off our feet. Then a pastor came onto Facebook and asked if I was ok. I told him what had just happened and he said he had work for us in Philippines in mountains of Mindoro among the Munion natives. It seemed Providential to me. He does not have internet in his home and I am seldom able to get on internet.
We need to reach a tribe of unreached people. I asked if it could be arranged in 3 days. He immediately went to check on options of where we could camp. We will need to rent generator, and these people are very primitive so our outdoor camping will be a challenge. Dengue fever is very common mosquito challenge. It is often fatal.
  We have worked with this pastor several times and know he was just ordained and is in tune to reaching for souls and spreading the 3 Angels messages. He knows that President Ted Wilson was with us in the jungles of South America and told us he wished there were 100 more of us doing this medical evangelism.

  The dream of pastor Roosevelt Fortu is to raise up a church and a school among this unreached native people of the mountains. His wife is a teacher.

  We spent everything on the Africa tickets and hope and pray that some of the non refundable tickets can be used towards our Philippines tickets yet the price for last minute Christmas season ticketing is higher yet. We are on our knees praying for wisdom. God never leaves or forsakes His workers. We have the example of Jesus moving away from areas that He was blocked from blessing but later he returned. We pray for the people who wanted our programs in more than 10 locations in Rwanda. Maybe God will later open a way.

  Meanwhile we are preparing our camping gear and already have the Tagalog  Bibles. I don't expect these people can read. We have some talking Bibles. If God provides the funds we are going to do a medical evangelism program anyway but in Philippines. We also need for renting generator and to try of some spot to lodge in a primitive setting. Our transport into there may be  by horse for roads are not there. The pastor is there now trying to prepare.
  We need God's wisdom.
  We need His guidance as we launch out into the deep to fish where it has not been done before.

Oyugis Kenya Africa June 2012

I have returned from Kenya evangelistic efforts. I treated about 250 ++ patients and did 3 meetings a day. Patients who were waiting their turn, also had to stop for prayers so they heard the gospel and had a chance for their prayer  requests to be offered. There were 70++ wanting baptism but 43 were successful. There is a lot of polygamy and so issues must be settled prior to baptism. There were children under 12 yrs and they could not be allowed for the rigid policy rules. It always makes me sad that I could not convince the pastors that  God says in the writings of Ellen White that 8-10 is old enough to make this choice of baptism.

  People were happy for what God did. We had several miracles

1.       A young girl was struck by a car, thrown down yet no injuries

2.       A woman at meeting was healed when I prayed right during the meeting. I always pray at the beginning of meeting.  I always ask that all at the meeting can be relieved of their suffering from mental confusion or pain of any sort or from alcohol or drug levels  causing cloudy thinking.

3.       A woman with diabetis for 8 years who had a foot ulcer on both feet for that long, was septic upon arrival and felt the charcoal treatment pulling and opening up things to drain and heal.  Great progress was made daily. She is to continue treatments at home. The local doc wanted to amputate. It was a wise choice but she refused. They walk everywhere and she envisioned a fate worse than death. Her rotting flesh was calling flies to the horrid odors. I obtained another infection in my nose as always happens when I treat such cases. That day I had left the face masks in my lodging room.

4.       Rain came so heavy and at meeting time daily. It was that rainy season time of the year. God answered my prayers about it in different ways to show me He has a thousand ways of which I know nothing. Once He did not stop the rain. Yet people passing by were running into the church for shelter. He kept the rain up till the message was done that HE WANTED THEM TO HEAR. Then he stopped it. I had to shout into the ear of the translator who shouted into the microphone. The tin roof was getting such a pounding, there was no way to hear!!!!! Wonder of wonders, there were appropriate responses to the quiz. They had to come up and shout the answer into the ear of the translator. They got it right and received their DVD.  Now----How did that work?  What did God do to move the program into the ears of all those who were there???

5.       Another rain miracle was that He did stop the rain when I asked.

6.       Another rain miracle was regarding the muddy roads. They were so slippery the car was always going sidewise during each trip through the slanted part that also had a drop off of erosion on the other side. I always prayed and the angels straightened and help the car pass on without getting stuck or hurting anyone. Once it was headed for a stuck vehicle and I could see 3 pairs of legs of men trying to push it. We were headed so fast to broadside them. I prayed and with only an inch, the car suddenly was turned to go past and then totally sidewise in the road. The men were shouting in their drunken state that they could have been killed and so they wanted to kill the driver and all in the car. God protected us as we straightened and went on home.

7.       Yet still another rain miracle happened. I prayed for rain water as the ones caring for me were restricting the water for bathing. I wanted plenty for my hair. I got it! It came at the time I could catch and utilize it.

8.       I prayed for rain delay on Friday afternoon so I could get my clothing hand- washed , finding soap, and water and they dry the clothes in the sun before Sabbath.  The storm went around and hit the village really hard.

9.        Next morning a van full of bananas and bags of stuff was stuck in the mud along the side of the one lane road blocking the way to meeting. They had no idea that the little ladies pushing could not even move such a heavy load. The angels were moving the truck. Our driver went to assist and he said it seemed the truck was moving along by itself. We got to meeting in time to set up and start on time. I am positive the angels were pushing. Many don’t realize they are getting blessed because of a missionary they are near. They did not realize it was God who helped them on their way out of an impossible ditch that had swallowed them up.

10.   Another miracle: A woman in clinic named Rose came and said that she had been given a dream where she was told to come to meeting. She did, and surrendered her life to Jesus. She told of all the white robed people in her dream and one looked like the grandfather who had attended the Adventist church before he died.

11.   One mother with sores all over her body clutching her 3 year old little boy sick in her arms with the same thing, wanted help.  He was crying and she claimed it was from stomach pain. I put charcoal in my drinking water bottle and handed it to him. He received it happily, drank it all and had instant relief. He settled in against his mama’s chest with peace on his face. As I prayed for them, she said she already saw the hand of God bringing their healing.

12.   Tom was an elder born in 1933. He had a dream he had a very important work. That  morning I needed him to help translate. God helped him. He found many ways to assist with the sanctuary coverings and candles and incense. I thank God for his faithfulness there and in clinic.

13.   Children came to listen to stories even when it was not meeting times and I was happy to give them Bible stories. A little girl started translating for all her friends. I love watching how the Holy Spirit reaches out through any age of person willing to take the time to translate.

14.   People came when it was not clinic time and I did my best to help yet needed a break from clinic.

15.   The projector needs another 500 dollar bulb. There has been no donations for another bulb.  It has gone more than 1000 hours beyond what it should have gone already. When power shut down, the bulb could have broken but kept on through all of it. The bulb needs to cool with the fan to keep the bulb from breaking. We did not have that luxury yet the bulb even though it is beyond it’s service potential by more than 1000 hours, it is another example of God multiplying what is in my hands. J

16.   I was very sick with respiratory infection after treating the lady with rotting flesh. I had fever and chills and used eucalyptus and water and other treatments. By 9pm Sunday, I was chilling and had 2 coats on and hat and socks. I just could not get comfortable. I had hot water put in my bed in water bottles. At midnight Tom and a visitor Meshack were praying and a turn in my recovery happened. At three AM again Tom was praying for me. I was surprised that anyone would take time like that to pray for me when I was so weak. I thank God for all who are praying for my strength.

17.   On the way home to USA on the plane, I had burning on my feet like I get with a fungus infection. I prayed that God would arrange for me to be upgraded to business class where I could recline and use the back massage for my backpain and in the little zipper bags, they provide new clean socks. As I was going through security, they put a stop on my ticket. I feared it meant something bad but it was the upgrade I prayed for. I had the new fresh socks given to me and it stopped the foot problem. I rode the long 9  hours home in reclined position like I was in bed. J

18.   Great is His faithfulness!!!! He called and brought 43 to baptism. The real miracle of conversion is done by God the Holy Spirit. I love to see it. Inside, we cannot see the heart working but the wind blows where it wants and we can see something great is happening in the heart of those going for baptism. The local members are following up the cases and interests .

Next assignment is  RWAND AFRICA. I need help with dollars for Megavoice Bibles. I am going soon and returning 3^rd week of August 2012 .

God tells me when to go and when to return. Tickets to the hub of the continent of Africa are more than 2,000during peak season. Then from there into Rwanda is another 5oo.  I have 80 Bibles so far in Kenyarwandan (Megavoice talking Bibles)

I am praising God for the many chances to work with Him. Great Things God has done! Thanks for praying daily.

Jenny had a miracle with a man donating toward her summer school in LaSierra, California. She is doing Biology at God’s request all summer there.

Thank God for what son  Kyle  is doing. At the young age of 10 years, he helped with illustrations on my web site for Children’s Bible studies. Then he did the illustrations for the sanctuary program I am using now for 10 years. He is home for the summer of 2012 and working on illustrating Pilgrim’s progress. He hopes to reach many young people and show them how important it is to leave the worldly ways of “the city of destruction”, and head to the Holy City. By reading the Bible, the truth sets you free and you realize you have been bound in sin. Pilgrim leaves the city and his journey is full of difficulties. Later his family follow his example.  Kyle  returns to WWU for his senior year as a communications major. He may not have enough credits to graduate, yet he is making good progress. I am hopeful and wish you to realize this is a miracle I have been praying for  many years.

I am thanking God for a change visible in Kyle. Here is a picture

I love these promises:
All power is promised in heaven and earth to go and preach. Mathew 28:18

*Our heavenly Father has a thousand ways to provide for us of which we know nothing DA 330

*“He who walks in the way of God’s commandments is walking in company with Christ DA 230

*I will Remember at Whose command I set out to cross the sea. Remember Jesus is in the boat with us. You cannot sink. I puzzle over what more the disciples could have done. They were bailing water out of their boat and calling 911 to Jesus. He stopped the waves and asked why their faith was small and why were they afraid.

 If you consecrate self daily, angels are by your side ..choosing your words for you. ...” MYP 90

Can I doubt His tender mercy Who life has been my guide? Heavenly peace….

*He will guide and teach Ps 32:8

*He gives power to the faint is 40:29

*Jesus is ever present help in time of need. 5T215

*The  eyes of the Lord are watching to show Himself strong to you. 2 Chron.17:9

 “I will not be confounded; therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. Is 50:7

*“Those who study the Bible, counsel with God, and rely on Christ will be enabled to act wisely at all times and under all circumstances…(EXAM TIME) The love of truth and righteousness must reign in the soul, …  {LHU 336.2}

Wigwam Woman

Wigwam Woman

  A gentle but firm sounding masculine voice awakened me with these words, “Wigwam woman, get up and drink the Mango juice that has been provided.”

  In 2008 I had been in the African country of Burundi at the Maranatha Academy giving a series of meetings. There was a large section of students that put their heads down the second I started the altar call at the end of each meeting. I wondered what was happening. The translator learned that there were some faculty that were not Adventist Christians and not in favor of the meetings. In fact, they encouraged the students not to listen. These teachers led the students in prayer for me to get sick and to die. Students informed the translator who informed the principal of the school. There might have been 50-70 of them. They sat together. They prayed earnestly that the meetings would stop.

  My symptoms fit that of one who has been poisoned.  Poisoning is a common way in Africa, yet the only way I could see it happening to me was if it was passed through the water or on certain food items we purchased because I did a lot of my own cooking.

  I had become violently ill shortly after cooking some broccoli that had a very bitter taste. The cramping started in 30 minutes. I had heard that many bodies of the war victims were still not buried. It is common that these have dirt thrown onto them just where they were. I wondered if a garden was planted over such a corpse and if it could pass toxins into the plants. I don’t know of any documentation on this. There are strict laws in USA about putting bodies in cemeteries or cremating them. So many health problems are avoided that way.

 I was so sick that no food was staying with me. I had treated my symptoms but the pain increased in my abdomen so sharply and I also had respiratory difficulty. I struggled to get air into my lungs. My legs felt like spaghetti and there was some blood oozing from nose, mouth and with loose waste. I could not support my weight. I drank so much charcoal thinking if it was poisoning, I could stop the results quickly. In the ceiling above me, I heard bats and figured their guano could also be a health risk causing the respiratory illness. I thought of Ebola. There were some known cases not too far distant from that region.

  When I went to and from meeting, I was supported by a kind student. Other students carried my computer and projector and cords.  As soon as I made the altar call, I went to the back room  behind the stage curtains and laid on the floor. My stomach emptied itself. I was lying on the floor too weak to move. It was too ugly to tell you about it all. During meeting, he students saw me walking freely with good animation and teaching the sanctuary truths. They had no idea how sick I was. Even the translator who was nearest could not realize it. It does seem rather fake unless you have read of stories of the same kinds of things happening to Ellen White.  Though very weak, she was given strength and freedom during the presentation as God was speaking through her. It is not by might nor by our power that these important Three Angels Message warnings are given. God gives the strength, and speaks through His messenger that He has called and ordained by His Holy Spirit.

  Back in my sleeping room, I fell into a deep sleep. The kind voice awakened me and commanded me to drink Mango juice. Now, there is some great healing with the vitamin A in this juice. I have seen vitamin “A” in carrot juice save the life on another younger missionary person, who no one, no doctor, not even the pediatric, gastroenterologist specialist could figure out.

  The command was firm so I began to move out of bed, puzzled at who was talking to me. I knew there was no one in Burundi who could speak such perfect English the way I was used to.

  I wondered about the way He called me “wigwam woman”. I am part Native American Indian. The famous Pocahantas Indian woman who saved the life of Captain John Smith, is an ancestor. My little grandma Laura Logan told that history to us. Pocahantas was Mattaponi Indian.  The Indian name for home was typically called a wigwam. On my feet were a pair of socks with the brand name “Wigwam”. Now if he was my angel, or Jesus, I do not know. It seems he does have a sense of humor and by speaking this name of “Wigwam Woman”, He showed he was no ordinary African calling in through my window. Those words are totally out of their vocabulary! I moved out to the little fridge they had provided for me.

  The nice cold juice tasted so delicious. I kept the little fridge locked as they requested. My heavenly watcher knew that my blood sugar was dangerously low. He saw no food remained and that I really should be in the hospital on an IV.

  I kept sipping away on the delicious Mango nectar till I had finished one liter or a bit more than a quart. I fell back asleep and recovery was on its way. Many came to pray for me. As Sabbath arrived, there was a grand baptism of 86 students. The leaders of the Division had come by for a visit and saw how sick I was. They returned on the day of baptism and took many pictures and praised God for the miracle demonstrated  that it was Jesus Who did that seminar. He was the instructor. I was weak till his power came on me. I spoke freely and moved about the sanctuary as though I was very strong and healthy.

  I like being His Wigwam woman. God can use anyone who is willing to take up the cross and follow Him. He can use this woman, who is part Native American Indian, and studied Theology, Biology minor, masters in Pediatrics, and Is a board certified family doctor.

Isaiah 40:30    Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 

 40:31  But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint. 

Mindinau update March 23,12

In Lote church in Mindinau, Philippines we are thrilled to have 38 wanting baptism this Sabbath. Jenny arrived safely 3 days ago and is staying so busy. One man was so thrilled to be able to see. His vision is far sighted and the glasses we were given were about 700. This brought him so much joy that he went to town and purchased fruit to give Jenny.

She received an amazingly warm welcome at the airport..

Yesterday, she went to give a graduation service in an elementary school scheduled at the same time as our morning devotional.

She spoke about the second coming and how important  it is to keep the commandments. They each got a 10 commandment poster to put in their rooms at home and remember. They loved Jenny’s graduation gift to them.

From this graduation, she hurried to the church where I was doing clinic and by the end of yesterday, she had done 80 patients.

Jenny sharing truth with the young people.

Tomorrow we will see the first fruits. There are 39 asking for baptism tomorrow. The next Sabbath we expect to see more.

We have so little time to give this report but knew you would want to know right away how things are going. They are going great. WE WISH WE HAD SOME FUNDS FOR BIBLES FOR THE BAPTISM.

Each is 300 peso.

The supply is here but they are not free! There is a little boy who is 7 years old. The cost of his prescription glasses is 49 dollars beyond what the family can gather together. If we had it , we would give to him.

We are praying for God has a million ways to provide of which we know nothing.

More updates when we get a chance. Meantime we have 5 minutes till our ride and then it is morning devotional and clinic all day and then evening meetings and we fall exhausted into bed. Tomorrow is Sabbath and packed with meetings. Sunday morning Jenny returns to school. Hope you are praying for her travels. Thanks for all the prayers.

WIGWAM WOMAN

I was real sick in Burundi, Africa and too weak to move, I laid on the bed. I woke up hearing myself addresssed as "Wigwam Woman". I heard a voice telling me to get up and drink the Mango juice provided. I was dehydrating fast with terrible stomach cramps, vomiting, bloody dysentary and wheezing so bad, I was sometimes on the floor on hands and knees gasping for air. No position seemed to help my lungs open. Each meeting I was helped to the church and as I began to speak, I had total energy and freedom to get up and move about the stage and present what God sent me to teach. Afterwards, I went behind the curtain and laid down vomiting and too weak to even move off of it.  I WONDERED IF I HAD BEEN POISONED. THERE WERE ALSO MANY BATS IN THE CEILING OF THE GUEST HOUSE.  Half of the audience put heads down when I called for their decision for Jesus. They were praying I would die. God gave me strength during sermons yet afterwards all symptoms resumed and I was struggling for air. (2008) I was greeted as "wigwam woman". God knew my heritage. It was a heavenly visitor speaking to me.  God was right there to help me. I drank the mango juice. I soaked in charcoal to take down the fever and drank some charcoal water and prayed. Someone thought I had demons and I heard him pray for demons to leave me. NO DEMONS WOULD PREACH THE 3 ANGELS MESSAGE!!!  :)   This Indian woman responded to the call of God in 1992 . I noticed in Desire of Ages that many called Jesus full of demons too. I am no greater than my MASTER. I had 87 who took baptism. That is why Satan was so angry. He was losing his territory. Is I keep pouring out all the love of Jesus, Satan warred and many did not understand. I just keep pouring and Jesus refills my pitcher daily. The water reminds me of God's requrement to share living water that I find at the spring each day. I speak about His 10 commandments and the prophecies. Jesus is coming soon. God is stronger than Satan who wants me destroyed. That's Why I Love Jesus so much.

MY BIG SACK CARRY MUCH!!!!!!  (Bibles)

The God of Jacob is my help

Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God! Ps 146:5 "Constantly He is sending His angels to those who, while surrounded by circumstances the most discouraging, pray in faith for some power higher than themselves to take possiession of them and bring deliverance and peace. In various ways God will reveal Himself to them and will place them in touch with providences that will establish their confidence...and not forget the works of God, but keep  His commandments." Ps. 78:7, Prophets and Kings 378

HOPE revives as we read His true promises. All His promises are true

Drunk woman Disturbance

"Don't stop me from seeing God!" she shouted from her place near the front row. After a few sentences it was obvious she was drunk. Banana beer consumption is very common in Rwanda. I stopped my sermon, knelt again and prayed for the ability to keep my focus on what God wanted me to say for Him.
  The three meetings a day had been well attended and we were nearing the end of 2 1/2 weeks when this disturbance happened. A young man went over to sit beside the woman and keep her quiet. I prayed that she would fall asleep. Soon there was quiet. I thought maybe she had gone outside. I looked to where I  had seen her last and she was asleep.
  I remembered the drunks in meetings in Mexico. I recalled the drunk man who was paid to translate for me in Russia. Then I thought of the drunk who lunged at me in Russia while I was speaking. Some elders had restrained him before he got to me. I remembered the drunk soldiers who were trying to guard me in Muzo. There was a drunk soldier each night guarding at Nyanza university. Once in Burundi, a drunken soldier raised his rifle at me in the truck and stopped us from the front of the vehicle. We backed away and found lodging for the night.
  Jesus recognized the soul cry of the demon possessed man brought to Him even though the man was shouting words for Satan.
  I remember that Jesus has a special love for all sinners. I want that holy love. I like how it is described here:"This heaven-born love is not selfish and changeable. It is not a love dependent on human praise. The heart of him who drinks the blood of the Son of God overflows with a holy love for God and for those for whom Christ died. He does not love His fellow-creatures because they love and please Him, because they appreciate His merits and rightly estimate His value, but because they are Christ's purchased possession. {ST, October 11, 1899 par. 6}
God designs that everything possible shall be done to enable us to stand heart to heart, mind to mind, shoulder to shoulder.
  At the end of the meeting, as I was shaking hands of people as they left, there she was demanding some attention for clinic needs. She struck me with her hand and shouted because I did not know her language.
I backed up and she came after me. Two young men stopped her and persuaded her to go sign up for clinic.
I pray for those who are damaging their brain cells and decreasing their abilities by intemperance.
So many in Rwanda are damaging their eyes by drinking Banana beer.
