On October 31, we celebrated 16
years of what we call Marathon Pentecost,
which consists of 24/7/365 prayer chain, and the very epicenter of the Children
of the Spirit Revival in El Salvador.
National Evangelism weekend was
October 31- November 2, where we mobilized
the 1,875 Assemblies of God churches in El Salvador to each visit 500 homes,
and together, we actually visited over 1,000,000 homes, giving each family a
Gospel Tract provided by Every Home for Christ. By putting a tract in
the home, we can reach the whole family who come together under that roof. It
is very easy to follow up on those who openly respond to the Gospel or
experience a miracle. Every one of our King’s Castle Teams took to the streets
that weekend to see how many people we could reach in the parks, on public
buses, on the major highways, in communities and wherever they could mobilize
to do outreach.
As we hosted the 92 AIM/MAPS
Teams during the year, most visitors
believed that June and July are our busiest months of the year because we are
all running to and fro to explain the Gospel to Everyone.
However, November &
December are actually the busiest months of the year for us with all kinds of ministry going on exponentially
every single day. Just to give you an idea, we work with about 300 King’s
Castle Teams in El Salvador (with 7,500 children’s-workers) so when we all go
out to do outreach on any given weekend, we reach 300,000+ children.
Since everyone is off school, there is a huge amount of outreach taking place
every week, so we have the potential of literally reaching millions of
children (during these 3 months of Vacation from Schools) as our KC Teams
do Outreach and Discipleship.
PK Retreats, where we have a 25-year tradition of celebrating Christmas
for the children by giving them a nice Christmas Gift which they receive during
their annual PK Retreat.
Schools of Warriors, training literally hundreds of young men and women the
Disciplines of a Warrior so that they will be effective in ministry.
January is chalked full with General Councils in El Salvador and Nicaragua
with Children’s Activities going full swing. PK Retreats in Nicaragua
with some 1,000 Pastor’s Kids between the ages of 3 and 21. We are
currently recruiting 500 Warriors from El Salvador to respond to SOS
Honduras appeal for a King’s Castle World Invasion. Several other
countries are recruiting King’s Castle Warriors to join us in Honduras. We
intend to go to San Pedro Sula to literally invade the darkness with the power
of the Gospel. We call this “Strategic Target Evangelism” because
we invade military style with large numbers of street emboldened children’s
workers in an effort to give a presentation of the Gospel to an entire city, or
a small country in 10 days of outreach.
We literally have thousands of
outreaches scheduled during our busiest months of the year, and we go day and
night as we work to transform Central America for our Christ Jesus, through the
power of the Holy Spirit. We are Great Commission Christians fulfilling
the “Mission of God” who sent his Son, who sent US, to preach the Gospel to the
Entire World until he returns to take us home to his Castle in the Sky.
While all this activity is
happening, every dollar is stretched as far as it can possibly be stretched to
meet the financial challenges we experience during this time of the year.
We must find a Christmas Financial Miracle in order to pay all of the Christmas
Activities and Year End Salaries. (In El Salvador, we are obligated by the
government to pay 2 1Ž2 months salary for each employee in December.)
If Jesus comes back to Rapture the
Church tomorrow, or any other day next week, or next month or next year, He
will encounter us busily working to accomplish the “Great Commission.” We fully
intend to have him find us working when He arrives to take the latest batch of
souls along with those who have been waiting much longer for his return. A
couple of months ago we visited William Borden’s grave in Cairo, Egypt, and
were challenged once again by his bold example of being sold out for
Jesus. We have no reserves, we won’t retreat in the face of
danger, and we know that when Jesus comes, we will have no regrets.
Our children, youth, staff, church
and National Church are helping us pray for a HUGE CHRISTMAS MIRACLE. God
has put peace in our hearts as we wait for him to speak to the hearts of our
King’s Castle Partners. He has promised to speak to you on our behalf ans to
the hearts of his people.
Happy Holidays,
