Greetings from Branta-Claus!

This entry will compel like none before. Writing less to let 2 handwritten testimonies shine....As usual, pls never forward my emails w/o asking. The 1st testimony is from a fieldworker who'll introduce his VERY UNLIKELY disciple. The 2nd is from the man, himself. "Paul" was a key player in one of the world's most feared nationalist movements.


"Paul", like the apostle Paul, has forfeited status, comfort & 4 homes for Jesus. He's being hunted as were the saints of old. (Hebrews 11:35-38) Understandable that some may be slow to forgive & some
​will doubt. Many in the early Church had similar reactions to Paul's big change. (Acts 9:10-30) 



Widely regarded as the most Gospel-resistant people on earth, estimates of evangelical representation in his tribe range from 0.0%-0.1%……Think about this: Sadly, 2 officers were attacked in the capital this past Wednesday. Had "Paul" shared the Gospel of Peace w/the assailant, might tragedy have been avoided? Given the chance, I can assure you that he would’ve gladly conveyed the Gospel to that deranged man in their common mother tongue, just as he’s already faithfully been doing at personal risk. This underscores the desperate need for people of "the other Abrahamic religion" to hear the Gospel in their own context from insiders like "Paul".....*He's actually an "insider's insider".


We do weekly Bible studies & I'm witnessing the rapid renewal of his mind. (Eph. 4:22-25) As his former religion is essentially a Judeo-Christian cult, he's working through similar misunderstandings which Orthodox Jews often grapple with....namely, uncleanness...as they journey toward Jesus. Continuing w/one of his questions last week, I engaged him w/this: "People in your culture remove their shoes when entering a home, right? B/c nobody wants a dirty floor....But also, dirt is seen as spiritual defilement & somehow sinful. However...God saw that everything was GOOD, (Genesis 1:31) including DIRT....And dirt is where we get fruits & vegetables! Furthermore, JESUS' own body was made of DIRT!!!!!” "Paul" is absorbing this new revelation w/humility & joy!!!!  


Friends, w/insiders like "Paul", we have a real opp to curb the escalating war of civilizations. More importantly, we can impact redemptive history for his very insular people group. This is both a humanitarian & strategic Kingdom investment. If you are interested in helping him & his family, I can put you in contact w/his (American) discipling pastor for more info.

In other news, "Sam", for whom we raised $11K+ through an ethnic dinner, was finally able to leave his very dangerous host country w/his family on Thursday! They're in a safe Western country!!!!! HALLELUJAH!!!! 


The song below expresses how I feel right now!
