The Willoughbys

These 'Special' People are being used mightily in Asia to manifest the Power and Glory of the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

They are my personal friends and a great inspiration to me personally!

They are truly Wonderful people!

Though this Crusade was not on my annual calendar, yet events necessitated that I attend and minister to this great nation once again.  Between Friday night and Sunday afternoon, 124 received the Baptism of Holy Ghost and 11 were baptized in Jesus Mighty Name!

 

An aged man 84 years old was baptized in Jesus'  Name when he was baptized, he came out of the water speaking with tongues.  When once he came back into the sanctuary, he was so happy and so desirous to worship the Lord, that taking his cane, he tried to dance before the Lord and he did so!  It was moving, touching, and tearful to see such Happiness manifested by an aged newborn in the Kingdom!!!   He kept saying to one and all with whom he spoke "I am soooo Happy!"  Jesus outdid Himself!   

You may view him below standing between the Filipino ladies who witnessed to and brought him to the crusade::

 
 

 

The miraculous aspect of this is that with the exception of 5 people, all the others who were converted had never been in an Apostolic Pentecostal service before.  So to have come, observed it, liked it, desired it, and then to receive full Salvation --  all in a first time service is simply an act of God when you consider the Chinese culture.

Brother Willoughby praying and believing -  He preaches with fervor and worships like his life depends on it, and then dances like David of old...

In fact, both Barb and Steve totally immerse themselves in the worship of God at every opportunity.  I share these insights and personal notes with you because you do not have the privilege I have in knowing them.  Perhaps this will at least acquaint you with them.

On Sunday afternoon there were about 80 Filipinos visiting for the first time  -  51 received the Holy Ghost...  It was thrilling to help them come into the Kingdom of God.  Wish all who read these words had been there!!!

Brother Dodjie Cargando, Pastor of Filipino work ministering

 

 

When announcement came that 51 had received the Holy Ghost, great rejoicing broke out among the people - glorious to behold!  Such Joy!!

 

 

More rejoicing - it became contagious and many entered in...

 

 

Dodjie & Nancy Cargando, Pastors of the Filipino Church in Singapore.  There are no finer Christian workers in all the world than the two you are beholding in this photo.  I am blessed to know and call friends these loveliest of people...

This photo of them was taken at a surprise Birthday Dinner given in my honor while in Singapore for this crusade.

 I am never so happy as when I am in the free flow of affection among friends.  What more could anyone ask - friends who love and trust you and a God that never fails!  His Name:  Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Son of God!

 

I must mention here Brother Bobby Matthews, Pastor of JAM, (Jesus Alive Missions) who is not only my personal friend but a friend to missions everywhere and a great asset to the Kingdom of God.  He and his brother, Moncy are doing outstanding in their minstries.  Moncy travels out of Singapore and into many parts of Asia.  My kind regards and esteem to these Godly men. Their participation and anointed ministry involvement enhanced totally the major effort of this crusade!!!

Since returning home, reports have come in from X-Buddhists testifying to the joy and glory of their new-found salvation.  Several more have been baptized in Jesus' Wonderful Name!

Healings and deliverances were observed and reported.  This is so normal in an Apostolic Book of Acts Crusade.  To God Be All The Glory!
