Deep Calleth Unto
Deep Camp Meeting this year in Malaysia
surpassed that
which we have seen in years gone by. It took
three nights to finish one message which the Lord
had asked me to deliver the to camp meeting this
year. Reason; the Spirit of the
Lord fell nightly upon the audience in such a
manner, that to continue preaching would have been
the epitome of rudeness to the Holy Ghost! I
simply left the pulpit and followed the Holy Ghost
from vessel to vessel as He led ministering to the
any and all reaching for Him. Incredible
things happened!
I preached the
four nights of DCD plus day sessions in lieu of the
fact that two speakers scheduled were unable to
come. After the day sessions we ate lunch in a
beautiful restaurant within the hotel complex
hosting our camp meeting.
A Baptist Asian
preacher attended the camp meeting having heard of
the Baptism of the Holy Ghost from one of our
missionaries within Asia. The preacher was a Barnabus Project guest through Tabernacle of Joy -
Pastor - Steve Willoughby. At lunch sitting
across from this wonderful character in Jesus, I
listened through his interpreter to the testimony
come from his lips which told of four years of
imprisonment at the hands of communist government
decrees for his preaching the Gospel of Jesus
Christ. One imprisonment lasted three years
and then two months here and two months there
totaling four years combined. As I listened to
him, the Holy Ghost began to move with great burden
and compassion for this man who obviously loved
Jesus no matter the cost for his preaching.
I became so
burdened for the threat of future interrogations and
imprisonments that tears were rolling down my face.
I felt to simply get to my feet and go around the
table and pray for him in the middle of the dining
room and guests there. I became oblivious to
anything or anyone and pushing back my chair,
I rose and went to him. I simply stated,
"I want to pray for you." He began sobbing and
leaning forward as I placed one hand on his chest
and the other hand on his back. Being overcome
totally with burden and weeping myself, I knelt down
and buried my head in his shoulder and prayed
perhaps as I have never prayed before that God would
protect him. Brother Willoughby said to me
later, "I have never heard you pray like that
before." I said, "I have never felt anything like
that before."
Everyone at our
table, the Stan Gleason's, the Willoughby's, and others
from tables around us began to stand, weep,
pray, speak with tongues, raise their hands, and
rejoice in God. Sister Barb Willoughby came
and knelt down beside me and began to pray - within two minutes, God filled
his hungry heart and soul with the Baptism of the
Holy Ghost speaking with tongues. Tremendous
worship rose from the Apostolic Christians present -
people just moved to our table and God's Presence
while Muslim waiters and waitresses just stepped
back and stared at what they were seeing and
feeling! They left the dining room... it
was Book of Acts Christianity in our day all over
again!!!
After some
time, as we were leaving the dining room, the
Baptism minister came to me emotionally and said,
"You are angel sent from God." I said, "No, I
am not an angel, but I heard the voice of God to
come to you!" I only wish that all those of
you who are reading this could have been there.
It was life changing!

baptized

in Jesus' Name for the
remission of
his sins that night in the swimming
pool at the hotel. |

He has since
returned to his country of burden and passion.
I received word from his interpreter Dec 31, 2007:
"God is just doing amazing things: the Pastor went
home and within one week, preached about baptism in
Jesus Name, and he has to date baptized 25
congregation members, including 3 pastors! Glory to
be God!!
(Names and
Country plus photos have been omitted from this
report for security purposes) Thank you for
your understanding!
Jesus answers
prayers, to date I have been told that he has not
been interrogated upon his return. This Great
Brother in the Lord is over 100 Baptist churches in
his homeland country. He will preach the Holy
Ghost, Baptism in Jesus' Name, and the Oneness of
God to all of them! Marvelous things will be
heard from this Man of God and his ministry to so
many! AMEN! To God Be The Glory!!!
