Prayer Breaks the Curse

It seems I have danced between provision and disaster so many times I can’t count them. That’s the “Forrest Gump” part of my ministry. I just do what I can in faith, and God provides what He does through grace. The thing is, our books are done for last year, our net worth increased, with the addition of some rice land and equipment, and our short-term debt was eliminated. That’s good! But, after a very slow December, January hit and it was bleak. February looked worse, until God came through, via a faithful friend, and saved me again. I am grateful, but the whiplash is tiresome! March came, and I can’t pay the staff. How can I expect any human successor to live with this? Yes, I’m growing some debt back. AGAIN! I’m used to it, but this is not the way to secure a long- term successor. So, guess what happened?

We know we are in a spiritual war. Direct reports have come to us that a group of people, who used to work with us, have held hands and prayed for our destruction. We knew we were being cursed on multiple fronts. The rice farm was under specific attack. We brought in our lead pastors for a time of special training and prayer. Prophet Bill Norton, from California, his son, Missionary and Pastor, David Norton and Bogdon from Romania joined Sou and I. It was a struggle greater than anything Bill has faced here in 14 years. On Friday, Feb 27th he felt breakthrough!

Every weekday morning, and Friday evening, we pray for our donors and for God to open doors of provision, and whatever God puts on our hearts. God does work in strange ways.
