Dearly Beloved
Friend,
Karen and I want to
seriously thank you for your friendship.
Please be praying for Kari
and Michael, as they lost their little baby boy, Noah Michael, last week. Even though the baby had died, 7 months
along in the womb, Kari gave birth on Saturday evening, we had the funeral
Sunday morning, and had a burial service here at the ministry center on Sunday
afternoon. Although Christ has been
with them in this valley, we have been in a state of mourning for their
loss. We know that you
empathize.
A week ago, we hosted an all
day party here at the farm, from 10 a.m. to 10 P.M. If you missed it, you are welcome to
come be with us and we can have our own party!
Day after tomorrow, we plan
to host a men's retreat from a church in the Twin Cities. We plan for nearly 30 guys.
The Feast of Tabernacles
this year, we plan to begin the festivities the weekend of September 28, through
Sunday afternoon, October 7. You
are all welcome! We are praying for
God's glory to be poured forth to the ends of the Earth. Will you believe with us?!. Plan now to
join us then.
Beginning June 6, Karen and
John plan to keep 6 of the grandchildren here at the ministry center, while
Michelle, Zoe, Shekinah, Joshua, Tara and Baby Taliah Fe go to minister in Peru,
South America, until June 19, the day before our 43 wedding anniversary, and 8
days before John Roy's 68 birthday.
This year, our gardens have 130 zucchini plants, cucumbers, okra, sweet
peas, pole beans, varieties of tomatoes, peppers, mint and flowers.
By God's great grace, John
Roy has planned another African trip to Nigeria, leaving August 9. If you would like to contribute finances
for this great cause of Christ, we will be deeeply grateful.
Last Sunday, John spoke at
the big celebration of the graduation from college of three of the Bankole
children. Then, Elijah left for 6
months of ministry in Nigeria.
We are requesting special
prayer for the Benedict family, with the illness of Pauline's dear mother. These are difficult days for
them.
What can be more exciting
than to have the glorified Christ, Father God of the Universe and Beyond, and
the all-powerful Holy Spirit, living within our entire being, and, living within
the entire being of those whom we love and hold dear.
We deeeeeply, dearrrrly,
earrrrnestly, ferrrvently love you!
Your loving
friends
John Roy and Lady Karen

Nigeria: 13 September 2006
Well: Glory be to Yahweh in the Highest. HalleluYahweh. Amin.
Just a few minutes ago, I awoke, believing that I was still in Nigeria,
at Bishop Vinning Memorial Cathedral Guest House, I reached for the
light, in the night, at 2 A.M. but the wall where the light switch was
wooden paneling, instead of stucco and paint. But the table lamp was in
the same place to my right. Imagine my surprise when I turned on the
light to find myself lying quietly beside my wife, at home in America.
I went to the kitchen to drink deliciously at the tap. I went out under
the stars to see Cassiopeia, high over head, and to see the half moon,
shining brightly to blot out a thousand stars, leaving a thousand more
still plainly visible.
Ahhhh, I am home! All is quiet. All is well. Karen is healthy, and all
is well. But, we are praying for daughter Dawn Joy’s husband, Pastor
Timothy, in the hospital from a gall bladder operation. He needs prayer,
as his blood count is low, and we don’t know why, so he needs healing.
We should know something today.
The Feast of Tabernacles begins in 3 weeks! October 6 to 15. It looks as
though Judy Sky and worship team will be up the last weekend, that
Prophetess Peggy Cole may be with us, ditto, and that Prophetess Barbara
Lansdorf will be with us the opening week-end, with Pastor Kris Palmer
and Pastor Andy’s worship team, assisting us with worship throughout.
I just returned from Nigeria, yesterday, ate some American food, greeted
my lovely wife Karen, well, and, now, I am home!
Tomorrow, she and I leave on a 12 hundred kilometer drive to conduct a
wedding in North Dakota for the family of Gary and Mary Bartram. We may
get to see Joshua and Tara and family. They are expecting baby number
two! Yesterday, Dawn Joy was able to see the movements of the head and
arms and legs of their Baby, 10 weeks old in the womb!!!
Three days ago, I was preaching joyfully to over 1200 Anglicans in a huge
cathedral in Lagos, Nigeria. I greeted them in Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba,
much to their delight and wild enthusiasm. Wow! What a glorious
privilege. And God was gracious enough to give almost all of them a
revelation of the King’s Greatest Secret!.
Then to preach in the early afternoon to around two to three thousand
Pentecostals at Lion of Judah, where Prophet Akin-Ade oversees a lively
work. He also presented me with a lovely change of lovely African
clothing, which I wore to Amsterdam, in Europe, on the plane.
In Nigeria, it was confirmed that we were able to save another half dozen
females from being mutilated. We were able to invest 400 dollars to
print 2000 more little books on a third printing of “FGM”. God has used
that book to save a significant number of people from being mutilated.
If you are interested in helping us prevent this damnable practice, send
to Great Commission Ministries.
Have you seen our new website!! It is:
www.Great-Commission-Ministries.org
Still others came into a revelation of the King’s Greatest Secret!
And others came into a revelation that they can live now and forever more
on Heavenly Daddy’s lap and listen to His heart-beat, His whispers[ers of
direction and encouragement, living within the circle of His long,
strong, loving arms, in the Secret Place of the Most High, under the
shadow of ojiji Olodumare, under His feathers, beneath His wings. Amen!
What money value can be placed on such a revelation!
We just printed 10,000 King’s Greatest Secrets!!!
Now we will be getting them out to people who desperately needing them.
Amen. Amin.
This year’s Feast of Glory will be filled with great grand exciting and
hope for the Manifestation of the Sons of God, the great release of the
greater works, the ushering in of the reaping of the End Time harvest of
the Earth, a time when the “glory of Yahweh will cover the Earth, as the
waters cover the Sea, a time of the latter Rain, when the Church will
become glorious and mature, and when Joel’s army will “take possession of
the Kingdom” and God’s people will bind the kings with chains and loose
upon them the Judgement written. This is our hope. Would you like to
hope and anticipate with us?!!!
Let’s us be in touch. Right now, the Howard Family is helping us to put
in a half dozen camping sites with electricity, and, electricity out to
our cottage in the “back 40”! Isn’t that exciting?!!!
We also have an opportunity to purchase a new building that could house
our proposed new School of Ministries, as well as a home for ministries
and Great Commission Ministries staff members! Would you like to join
with us in this exciting new adventure?!
We love you and we look forward with keeeeeen anticipation to seeing you
and/or hearing from you!!!
Glorious Feast of Glory - 2006!
Love, from me, John Roy and, from Lady K

Dear
Dearly Beloved,
Did you know that before the End can
come, "This Gospel of the Kingdom,
must first be preached in all the
World for a witness to all the Nations"???
Mt.24:14 & ML 13:10, (or
were you waiting for the Rapture?)
