Dear Friends,
Greetings in the love of Jesus. Thank you for praying for the outreach in Antigua. The Lord has been faithful to meet His people in an unprecedented way in this island nation. The Bible College students have been impacted by the Word of God and their inspiration has motivated many to reach out in a new way in this nation.
The Leadership Conference was marked by hungry people who are carrying a great desire to see the hand of the Lord extended to impact Antigua and the Caribbean nations with a fresh move of the Holy Spirit. We were all excited to see the Lord giving outstanding miracles each night of the outreach.
The first miracle on the first night was a 17-year-old boy who had been born completely deaf in his left ear. His mother was ecstatic as she saw and bore witness to this great miracle of healing.
An elderly gentleman who had been afflicted with a stroke could only stand with the aid of a u-shaped walker. As we began to minister to the people afflicted with crippling conditions this man quickly received new strength and stood without the walker. Then he began to slowly walk and soon was running as the Lord had completely healed him of his crippling condition.
A lady that was in an accident with a truck was paralyzed in her left arm. As we prayed for crippling conditions the power of God went through her body and she began to move this previously paralyzed arm. Soon it was completely free.
A lady with a large tumor fell to the ground under the power of God. She reported that she felt a burning sensation where the tumor was, but now it was completely gone. She kept probing the area and could no longer find this large tumor that was previously there.
A lady had a ruptured disc for 13 years. This prevented her from being able to bend over or twist due to the pain of the rupture. However, as God touched her she became completely free. While testifying I asked her who healed her. She replied, "God did." I said it was Jesus. Again she replied, "Yes it was Jesus and I am giving my life to Him tonight because of it." We all rejoiced to see this marvelous response to the love of Jesus.
A Pastor brought a 25-year-old man that was born deaf mute. The power of God instantly touched him with a creative miracle so that he could hear and speak perfectly. He was able to clearly repeat words like baby, baba, Jesus, and count 1-10. All were amazed at this awesome miracle.
A elderly man who had broken his back was carried onto the grounds. During the miracle flow God healed him in so much that he was able to bend, twist, and run to demonstrate his wonderful healing.
There were many other healings that took place in this outreach in Antigua. Each one will leave a living witness of the love of Jesus Christ, His living reality, and the power of His resurrection.
We are trusting that this will help to infuse new life in the Antiguan church, and revitalize their witness throughout the island.
Our Bible College students were greatly impacted and our leadership there have told us that the students are living a life of revival right now. Praise God for this.
In this Leadership Conference and Crusade in Antigua were delegates from the Caribbean nations of Guadalupe and Martinique. These delegations have returned to their nations with the desire to bring Christian Life International Bible College to their people. We are presently in dialogue with them concerning the establishing of Bible College Centers in their nations. Praise be to God for His increase in this ministry.
CHRISTIAN LIFE INTERNATIONAL BIBLE COLLEGE
GRADUATIONS
I am still receiving reports of the various Graduations from our Bible Colleges. So far we have just under 300 graduates with more to come.
In addition we are expecting graduates still to come this year or year and a half from some of our new centers in Ghana, Antigua, Central African Republic, and Pakistan.
Thank you for your support. We have added 2 more translators to the team in Pakistan in order to keep up with the flow of students. We are counting on your faithfulness.
In His Love,
Roger Houtsma
