Dear Friends,

I wanted to share with you some of the testimonies from our recent trip to Warm Beach, WA. Our family is not yet home but Lord willing we will be back tomorrow.

During our travel we were given many open doors to share the good news. One I wanted to share with you was when the Lord opened a door to share with a family from Israel. We were in one of the campgrounds on our way to the family conference and as the Lord prompted I began a conversation with this family. As the night went on I was able to share the gospel with them and leave them with a gospel of John. It was interesting to find that they had not heard the gospel and we parted ways with them giving me an invitation to come to their remote desert village in Israel as we exchanged contact information with them.

It was a joy to share with many needy people on the way there and back. During the family Bible camp we found the Lord to be very present in the meetings. The adult speaker as well as the youth speaker and the leadership and I were all of one accord and untied in the ministry of the gospel.

The Lord blessed your prayers as dozens of people were born into the Kingdom of God and adopted by Him as sons and daughters. One young lady came to ask for prayer and she began to cry bursting tears of relief and joy.  I asked her, “What has God done for you?” With shooting tears she exclaimed, "Everything, everything, everything!" What a joy to see eternal fruit to the glory of God.

Another young man had been battling such tremendous doubts and fears as he wanted so desperately to leave this vain world for the ministry of the cross. He was held back by his own sin, fears, parents, discouraging friends and lack of understanding. He poured out tears of relief realizing that Jesus was all he needed and the clouds that had so darkened his walk and journey with the Lord were peeled back as he looked full in the wonderful face of Jesus.

Many people rejoiced at the good news of the cross and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, standing before the Holy of holies to take care of our sins. There were many testimonies of those who thought they were saved only to find they had been trusting in all the wrong things. Many came with tremendous hurts and pain to find healing in the Lord.

There was very little outward persecution and only a few of the religious folks were irritated with the truth spoken. As I look back I am grateful the Lord allowed me to take my family on this journey to the spiritually needy West coast of America. My heart’s desire is for our nation to turn back to her God.  So many along the way seemed to be wandering in this desert waste, fat on the world but unknowingly dying on deceivingly so-called ‘good things’.

Please pray for me as I have an opportunity to share in Missouri at a Youth Camp. As the Lord provides I would hope to serve them for our Lord's sake and pleasure. May He bless you and make His glorious face to shine upon you and give you peace in Jesus. Amen

Thank you for your prayers,

I thank you all for your prayers on behalf of my dear Grandmother Barb. She has improved much and yet is still trying to recover. The Lord is blessing her with much grace and the blessing of family coming from all over to be with her.

It was an amazing experience to stand with another cousin of mine both of us whom Grandma prayed earnestly for. As we stood there, both as saved men by the grace of God, and began to read her the scriptures and pray for her she began to pray some of the sweetest words to the Lord. At one point she said, "Jesus, I need You; all I want is You, to be with You the rest of my life". The Lord's presence was very real to us and I will never forget this time. It is a very comforting and joyous thing to know without a doubt that she is eternally secure in Her Savior Jesus Christ. Thank you for your prayers.

Please pray for Al Whittinghill, as he leaves today to speak at a conference of 13 Alaskan native churches. I believe these will be very important and timely meetings the Lord has set before us.

Ministry is going strong in the many villages we are working in. We are already gearing up for pastoral and leadership equipping next fall. It is a blessing to see these men fearlessly and boldly proclaim the good news. It is a privilege to come under them and support them and their families as they set to reach their people.

I have also seen the great need to be of some help to the natives here. I have been picking up hitchhikers on the reservation here and have had liberty to share the gospel with them. I am hoping to be able to disciple some of them and see an indigenous work come together here.

Most of all I am grateful that, by God's grace alone, my name is written in heaven. What amazing grace - God's perfect love to save the uttermost like me. What good news we have for this day!

Thank you,

Justin
