moldova which is close to romania and also in the romania we thought so many people had been touched by the speed of the lord and so many means save heal the liver and that's the most important things what we do in this ministry which we believe the lord can heal today and he can deliver people from their affliction an hour or so from their sickness and disease and make them free and as i read from some thirty four we should exult the lower we should magnify his name we should give him the glory another for everything what he done in our life and special in our day when we leave and this time when we saw so much turmoil in the world so many things is happening right now as we speak when this world is going in the direction which we never expect especially here in either state when you see people coming against against what is right and they see what is wrong and probably you can see that in the word of god in the latest the this is going to happen and today i want to talk to you a little bit about how important is to have faith in the word of god  the gospel over there way and our so we growing every year since two thousand and seven we been going and europe with the romanian population some of them they they don't know what their identity what they are and the hate start raising up between the russian and romanian the russian moldova and russia and ukraine and you see they are divided and have and that long ago they have an election and the election actually won on the left side which is the russian communist area which even they don't call them communist opening an opportunity to bring the word of god like never before right now because they have so much things going on in the congress and and fish you know which is the capital of dover and they have so many things going on between the the parliament and the population they don't care about the diaspora when they come in those areas and that's why i'm excited because i could go over there to bring the good news and i'm a speck thing to go again whenever the lord open a door for me to be able to bring the word of god and that are so to bring hope to the population as the word of god says i will bless the lord all the time and i was i was choosing this son in order for me to understand when i went over there the water is bad i have to i have to take water from romania and i went with my my friend joe which we went together many many years for over twenty something years and dif the something is not right when they got the water and people over there they got used to but if we drink it over there you get sick and i was glad when i see people praising god even in the situation those houses and those area were appalachian they starving some of them because one of the meaning was last time it was like and it was a night th midnight nobody left left that place because they knew and then of the service would be serving some snacks and there was waiting for the snacks to be able to pick it up each and everyone at least one snack for their for themselves and i see the starvation i see the hunger for the food and as i see the hunger for the word of god and once they read the king says i will bless the lord all the time he said  verse four i sought the lord and he heard me and the liver me from all my theory that a long ago we celebrate the easter or passover and the following week after he was resurrected of course and that week he showed himself to mary but also to show himself to appear in john and also to the  he said i don't believe that i want to see it with my own eyes and if i go the gospel of john the less i see his hands the print of the nails and to put my fingers into his print of of the nails and put my hand into his side i will not believe and after eight days is disciples were again inside and thomas with them and jesus came came the doors been shut and stood in the midst of and said peace verses and he said to thomas reach your finger here look at my hands or issue you are hand in here and put it into my side do not be an belie i mean high blood pressure people wish they could not imagine the sick this can be here and the doctor give them pain medication an instant they've been healed because of the word of living god which i send it over them and they they believe in a million when they are healed they start believing and when they start believing the lord touch their heart and change their way of thinking to his heart and that's why he said i don't believe it how many of you will say i don't believe it unless i see the law or in my own eyes i saw the vision of him some time and many of them because of the appearance of jesus on the front of them some of them even there was and they were not even asleep because they have that vision which was a real things they give their life to thomas because you have seen me you have believed blessid are those who have not see and yet have believed what is a importance to believe when you believe that  the son of god and that believe you may have life and h number one here jesus appear in the eight days number eight is the new beginning number seven is the is the the day weren't weren't god himself and that day was a day of perfection he saw everything was been perfect been done by number eight it's a new beginning and i believe for some of you wish to listen to me will be a new beginning right now the law was used to turn around leave the way you think you think the way you you do things the way you been believing and start turning allowed and start believing god other people they believe all except one and some people which they have trust in the lord and they have believing god the way how god wants them to believe they believe all that means and you don't have to pay anything you don't have to do anything just to believe that's the only thing what god requires from us just to believe and when we believe we are allowed the word of god to does it say the word the blue already the word is near to you and your mouth and your heart that is the word of faith which we preach when i went to world over and i preach the gospel of signs and wonders and i said the lord can heal your sickness right now if you believe how many believe and they raise their hands they believe that i said put your  i pray he believe and i believe with him that i am sending you the word and exactly how says here the word is there to you in your mouth and are so in your heart that is the word of faith which we preach that if you confess with your mouth the lord jesus and believe in your heart that god has raised him from the dead you will be sa parcel when jesus actually came to thomas and says you have seen me and you believe blessed are those who have not seen me and yet have believe which actually make me to study what is important of trusting the word of god and going to the original translation to know exactly what book that means this man john which is the belove he always loved jesus so much actually he was the only one who was not kill or murder he die because in all days he was the only one what he saw jesus coming that what i want to talk to you next week i want to talk to you what is important not only to have faith for your healing and deliverance but are so to have faith fo people which they've been with jesus over the years in those three and a half years they saw jesus and after forty days he been took away and the  new earth and i'm looking for that by i want to pray for you i don't want to talk more about because i'm getting excited about those things and that's why i'm doing this mission that's why i'm to go in a ministry that's why i'm traveling all over the world all the lord opened the door for me i know i'm not going to save the whole world but those people wish they lowered a point that for me to get saved i was out bring the gospel to them and together with my wife and my kids we  like me and my wife and my kids which we go together to bring them with us i'm working right now in this project for the winter and even if it's in the middle of the summer i'm working and that area to be able to get new teddy bears more teddy bears to be able to bring those to the skits and those villages maybe i talk to you next week about this but i want to pray for you i know us the lord to america and i'm excited to have her here because i want to have her perspective of how we plan and how we do these projects every year that's right i'm excited to be here i don't think we've been on a program to go yet haven't sounds pretty exciting yeah this exciting  so what we did this year we went back to normal partner i mean you know the lord has put this on our heart for many years now actually this is the first time we've been up there but we do go to new villages it's a very big rural area we visit new villages every single time once in a while we do go back to one or two villages for the most part we do go to new villages it is a very rural area like i said the winters are very harsh in cold urban times where we've been stuck in the snow there unable to deliver packages for the last several years amazing same as how we started with i mean one hundred to couple hundred packages early two thousand and eight two thousand it's amazing what god is doing and how much he's grown this this project that surely ministry for john military is it is exciting card just a just to refresh your memory a few of the items the items that we include in our goodie bags are a box of chocolates some cookies we also include a comb a tooth brush box of crayons and of course teddy bears and the teddy bears are the favorite of the children i mean you can see them on the videos they're hugging them they're squeezing them a lot of them have never received one or and the parents don't can't even afford to buy them chocolate  goody bags we should mention are such a tool a resource for us that we would that we have the opportunity to put in there whatever we want to put because it's a gift and another thing that we put in there is this little postcard every year we switch it up either the design or what's on it but the main thing is we have the sinner's prayer on the back and we have a little bit of information on from our ministry how we they can view our programs the schedule of our programs on the off and make a television network they us on you tube we do have the the bible verse which says that the that and to us the child was born in the remaining language so this is a neat little thing for them to take home to their parents and to kind of introduce them beyond just the new testament to let the you know when our program to play has held this is also such a great thing that we've incorporated in there it's amazing because we've been doing this for the last maybe since two thousand and ten or two thousand and one actually two thousand and eleven and i was talking to you humanitarian no because remains are known to be very kind of cost and religious baptist religious and there's been a new movement now going on but most of the ideas they have in their mind oh you're right i'm one of those christians right and we don't want them to know doctrine we're not introduce them to a religion and that makes it pretty clear to them also that he's not inviting them to a religion he's inviting them to a relationship with jesus and that's that i and it's something that a lot of them you can see the look on their faces it's something new to them they've never been introduced to this before is not typical preaching they hear no because definitely not nourish the rinse they're sent to hell and back and forth right on to there's no condemnation of the message in other words which is which is huge and that part of television ministry in revealing yeah praying with my parents on the phone and the look on his heart to donate five tons of food bribes or huge pallets of food yeah i remember i do remember i do remember it was a lot it was a it was an incredible thing when we heard about it i mean we couldn't i mean there was we we had never even we'd never put together some magic words or imagined you know it would cost us a lot of money to do that what was it around nine hundred families that was out and well  reason we see pantry items is because they're not perishable they're your staple items that you would want to have in europe that we would want to have in our pantry here even exactly so the included we had a core meal which is a very popular thing to have  short there around three o'clock or so we would invite them to come over to christmas of it to a special christmas and then the seniors were seeing all this on so it was not their heart and then you see on the video a lot of them were touched by th  with praise reports about a lot of them had experience healing in their bodies whether it was physical or spiritual or emotional healing they did experience that and and that's that's where dad had an opportunity to invite them not only  to to this big god that so far away but to a god that's healing them to add to their healer so that was you know not only did we we have the food we do we distributed the food we had a message we have the singers but then also they they got to see they got to to to become intimate with this guy they got to see what this god was all about he's a healer he loves them he cares for them he said people of all the way from america to them to go over there to care about them right there free from addictions  and by acts of goodness to which a lot of religions practices the more you do good the more you know might you you may or may not you know you're never sure but we invited them to a relationship with jesus that ensures them he guarantee trouble and it was cold it was not war people it was not warm at all i remember going to see on the video there all bundled up and i remember asking you did you not have heat in the building you said well they tried to do some sort of limit he doesn't  believe it is his will to go back and and to take span as much as we can and another thing we want to touch on is that we don't just go we don't just we never wanted to be the ministry that goes ganz out something comes back and just kind of leave them to themselves we actually met we plant that the the seed and then we also work closely with our local missionaries not yet several years ago the lord has opened a store with timothy is his name he's an amazing guy this family that left everything to italy and care in the lord spoke to them leave everything to go back to remain a working and to become a missionary in the area where it was he willing to do that and he said he was willing to do that and he did that overnight like to me he's brought him over to he follows but we cannot rarely just you have to have a real relationship with christ not try so it's exciting how the lord's doing this and thought on this well i think that this is just the beginning of like you said our dream and our vision and we're working to expand behind the scenes there's a lot of prayer that goes on there are a lot of things that we have you know either quietly in our hearts that were that we brought to the lord in that were meditating on but definitely we want to not only get more involved but we want to get more of our partners involved in it so that they and make more programs like this to kind of be encourage them to continue just to to partner with this ministry so into this  ministry we were we were discussing today where in matthew chapter thirteen jesus talks about the parable of the seed and then which way the sea can blow and it depends on which ground it lands on and that's why it's so important that we have this just for the at this foundation and we have timothy there to continue on with it and to continue building on what what what was planted there that's right for him to have  probably do this and you absolutely mom yes we are believers of sowing our seeds and we know that that those seeds will will never go without without the lord touching them and without the lord increasing them and without the harvest we believe in  the harvest so we will continue to believe that and and continue to stand on the promise of the word of god and we do thank every single one of our partners that it's true with this ministry would not be where it is this ministry is what it was able to put us on the international television overseas an awful mega the reason why we keep making programmes the reason why we go overseas the reason why we've been able to go into different countries in these last several years and also the reason why we have a twenty four hour care line for people to call absolutely all over that's  different countries spain italy i mean they've gotten this as far as i mean even germany israel i mean you name it these phone calls are coming in and these people are being touched by watching our programs you know watching feeding themselves on the incorruptible word of god the that see that uncompromised compromising word of god that that is preached and that goes around the world and they are they they're the ones that are the ones that are seeking after the lord they're being connected in such a powerful way and they're calling and they're they're there they're pouring out their heart and they're asking for prayer and it's amazing to me to see how many from this little from this the lo demons and you name it people it's possible and it's because of your support that you know absolutely yes actually we are one of the main remaining prayer lines and it's unheard of but we have so many ministries you so much partners we love you  with sharing we've been doing this is the ninety's i personally have been going since two thousand and nine the lot has put upon my heart to be more involved and actively distributing these gifts personally to each and every single child in the villages it's been a pleasure and honor for me to be a part of this and i'm happy to see how this ministry has been growing that's right now although i haven't physically gone i am behind the scenes but i'm part of the team here planning these trips and and making sure everything gets there on time i this has been a near and dear project to my heart especially since having kids i'm a mom of two and i can't even imagine not being able to provide for my children what is needed especially around the holidays what these children experience we our children here take for granted and just to see the smile on their faces and their faces light up when they see these goody bags it's just a blessing not only are they blessed but also the faculty get so motional when they see how blessed the children are also their families are teddy bears a large quantity of years we have to put together a large quantities of items and ship it from america and lot of this these items are shipped in the summertime so they're arriving there on time for the winter we also have a team in germany that pretty gether are chocolates for the have already for us for the wintertime to assemble line and to be able to put our good events together that's right and each one of these goody bags includes a bar of chocolate a bag of cookies a box of raisins a comb a tooth brush and of course and a box of crayons and of course a teddy bear included also in these goody bags is our postcard it's a ministry postcard that tells them who we are what we do and who we represent and of course that is the name of jesus he is our savior and this is something that's very important to us when we make these goody bags through these postcards we invite them to watch our programs on line on our you tube channel or on the awful megan network television network on the other side we have the sinner's prayer where we invite them to have a personal relationship with jesus and this is actually our ultimate goal the goody bags is just a resource that we use it is in the vangelis to tool for the family for these children for their families and even for the fact what we mean by  is that we're planted that incorruptible seed in each and every one time heart those children those children when they grow up they will not forget the moments that they see now the moments that within these see that someone's coming in their area and their schools don't need to get to them knowing that their parents don't have any means to give them any money and we are here in the words of my dad and he says we're here to depopulate and populate heaven so we go to the areas where they're very remote where people don't actually want to go in those areas we go in there we surprise them and their families are families that are hard working people of fortune because in the winter months they do not find work the work the destruction of the culture and in those times the snows and mostly snowed in so they do not have any needs to provide anything to and heads and then also their doctrine by the greek orthodox movement generations and generations of it they've been taught that from generation to generation down the line and they don't know what it means to have a relationship with christ right been taught to read the word of god and so we're here to introduce that to them with a little new testament in their bags for the moment as to pick them up and say wow what is this somebody actually bought this to us to are allowed to read the word of god we're teaching them that they can have a real relationship with christ that's right just we actually even have the opportunity to include a new testament in each goody bags as you said we see so this project has grown so much throughout the years you know it's incredible i remember in two thousand and nine when i first went maybe we did one hundred  i remember from there going up to me two hundred five hundred bags now we're up to two thousand and i had a real good two thousand there's times we did fifteen hundred but it's so incredible how much this is i'm grown the opportunity to the lord has given us in our hands to do right and now we're talking about reaching four thousand heads this year and i mazing it's an exciting time for our ministry there is a lot of praying that goes on brainstorming behind the scenes for us to expand this part of the ministry our children's ministry and not just at christmas time but throughout the whole year yes and there's so many things that the lord has put in my heart and i have dreams about what the lord wants us to do but this is not possible only with you that's why you are the reason why we're are right now you're the reason why we are this far and even now two thousand and find for four thousand thing that we say thank you but when you do mean so much to us we are so thankful for you it is because of like you said supporters like you that help to make the difference in the lost and hurting and the forgotten people of the world that need to hear the gospel they desperately need jesus in their lives and you make it possible for us to go and spread it so that they can make jesus the personal savior of their life once again it is because if we were able to do this project in mega projects to come and we want to thank you as one encourage
