Turning Point Conference this year was
gloriously attended by Apostolic Power and the reality of
the Spirit of God as I have seldom seen it.
A total of twenty received the
Baptism of the Holy Ghost and six were baptized in the
Mighty Saving Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of
their Sins. Acts 2:38 Wonderful - Powerful!
A Presbyterian Pastor's wife powerfully
with great demonstration of emotion and joy received the
Holy Ghost and was baptized in Jesus' Name the next night.
the following evening to the service came her Pastor husband
and he also fell to the floor with powerful Presence of God
speaking with tongues. It was explosively exciting!
Anna Bracken,
the daughter, who is
now attending a Christian School for non Chinese students
was present bringing eight of the students from school with
her to Turning Point. These lovely young people are
all children of missionaries in this area of Asia. I
took pure delight in working with and knowing them.
Such hunger and love for God was refreshing - most inspiring
- and enlightening all at the same time. Noteworthy to
say here that: People who know the Word of God have
the power to help more people in this world than anyone
else! Anna has literally enlightened the entire
school including faculty members and is loved by all!
What a wonderful testimony to an even more Wonderful God!
AMEN!
One girl with knee problems was healed
before the other student's eyes. Three of them
received the Baptism of the Holy Ghost! Two of them
already had received this birth of the Spirit experience as
on the Day of Pentecost - 33 AD.
I sincerely wish I had photos of all
these students - I genuinely loved them all!

Here is a grandson and a Grandfather in his
80's. A Turning Point flyer was given to him by his
grandchildren. He does not speak English nor
Mandarin Chinese, but rather a aboriginal dialect from the
country of Taiwan. He looked, and looked and looked
at the photo of people with uplifted hands on the flyer
and kept it on his person and I understand near him when
he slept. He came to the conference and watched
everything - everything we did, he did... I went
down to him about the third night and with his
grandchildren, prayed him through to the Baptism of the
Holy Ghost. Wonderful beyond words... A
highlight of my life and ministry... I can never forget
him... He had believed in Jesus a long, long time
and now He has Him in His Fullest!

This year in February
2006, Grandfather was back and I had the
honor of baptizing him in the all Saving
Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of
his sins. He came out of the water
speaking with tongues and danced before the
Lord several times throughout T. P.
Conference. A total delight and
Spiritually moving for all of us, but for me
especially!
The
following collage and photos with comments continue this
glorious testimony and love story in Jesus!

Under the
Water
Of all the photos
taken of
Grandfather's
baptism,
this is my
favorite.
He was
so excited to be
baptized in
Jesus'
Name. His
longing
and delight came
through in his
every
movement of
worship!

Outstanding Statement:
"The Book of Acts is our pattern for Life"
(leader of Church in China)
I feel such
conviction for all of us. We live far beneath our
privileges. However, God is helping and a
rebirth of Apostolic Power, Gifts of the Spirit, and the
Five-fold Ministry are upon us as never before.
Something great, not small, is the future for the Church of
Jesus Christ in this earth for the closing hours of time!
The world will see and know before His Soon Coming!!!
