Mission: Pakistan PAKISTAN VISIT JUNE / JULY 2017. God bless you Saints.

2 Mission: Pakistan PAKISTAN VISIT JUNE / JULY God bless you Saints. One of the disappointments in life is to hear the constant negative comments that come from so many that claim to be believers when plans are made to do missionary work in some controversial nations. You hear: it s too dangerous, it s too risky, think of your wife, think of your family, what if this happens?.. what if that happens? I want to ask them this question. Do you ever think any further than your own self-preservation? Have you ever got out of your comfort zones to consider what life is like for others that don t have the privilege of having ready access to message books and materials that you take for granted that are probably collecting dust and cobwebs sitting on your own shelves in your own homes? Thousands of brethren worldwide would love to have what you may take for granted. Last year in Indonesia at a ministers meeting, I met three ministering brothers from Pakistan who requested that as many ministers as possible would visit them and encourage them in the end time message. They wanted to assure the brethren that all the bad stories you hear about Pakistan wasn t the way the news media portrayed it to be. The mainstream news media (fake news media) operate an agenda controlled by the powers over them to keep the public in a state of never knowing the truth in order that they can be controlled in their decision making. It works well. Goebbels proved it. Page 1

Mission: Pakistan I left for Karachi my starting point on the 6th of June and arrived on the 7th to be picked up by Bro Shamoon Yaqoob who is a pastor in that city.

Understand that Pakistan is 98% Moslem and to convert from being a Moslem to a Christian is to risk your life.

3 Mission: Pakistan I left for Karachi my starting point on the 6th of June and arrived on the 7th to be picked up by Bro Shamoon Yaqoob who is a pastor in that city. I had 2 days there and the highlight being an outdoor meeting in a closed off street in Karachi. My estimations of the numbers there would have been around 300. Understand that Pakistan is 98% Moslem and to convert from being a Moslem to a Christian is to risk your life. I have been in the message for 34 years and I have never seen until this time such a huge outpouring of the supernatural to follow the preaching of the word of God. There were prayer lines that were so long that it is hard to imagine ever seeing them in a moslem country. One particular incident was of a woman that came into the prayer line. She was a sophisticated looking educated woman and she came up to tell me that she came to the meetings to criticise me. But she saw that it was a real move of God and asked me to forgive her and pray for her. Another incident was of a young man that was under serious demonic attack because he had a prayer meeting with a Roman Catholic that hated the message of the hour. His mind was so messed up that he was going mad. His wife and child were distressed and I asked him if he wanted to repent and give his heart to the Lord. His answer was yes, so we took him immediately to the beach to baptise him. On the way there the demons were screaming at him not to get baptised but he still went ahead and was baptised. On the way back to the car he said his mind was coming clear again. That evening in the same prayer line previously mentioned he came up with his wife and daughter as a family unit completely restored to say thankyou. In another incident a moslem man with an injured back had heard that the Lord had been healing people and he walked all over Rawalpindi to find out where the meeting was being held. He was such a fine man with a respectful atmosphere around him and the Lord healed his back instantly. Page 2

Mission: Pakistan A woman was prayed for with injured knees. She was told that the Lord is the God of her confession. So for 2 days after she spoke I am healed, I am healed.

The message has been in Pakistan for about 15 years and there has only been 60 100 message books translated into their own language. This condition has severely hampered the progress in Pakistan.

4 Mission: Pakistan A woman was prayed for with injured knees. She was told that the Lord is the God of her confession. So for 2 days after she spoke I am healed, I am healed. Then while confessing, the angel of the Lord came to her and she felt a feeling come over her body and she was healed. The message has been in Pakistan for about 15 years and there has only been message books translated into their own language. This condition has severely hampered the progress in Pakistan. Over the years, Saints money has been given to promote and translate the message and there has been very little fruits in the way of translation work. Much of it has been swallowed up by middle-men in foreign nations that take donations for the work but with very little in the way of auditing being done to really find out how affective that work has been. It is because of this that I am encouraging them to take the initiative and divest themselves from being vassals of foreign entities. From Karachi I flew to Rawalpindi / Islamabad and met up with Bro Javed George who sponsored me into Pakistan and we had many meetings in message churches in the surrounding areas. I met a very fine group of ministers and had time to speak to them all and show power point presentation teachings on the opening of the word (the 3rd pull). The message came to open up the word and release the Holy Spirit into the church and without that, a person is still hobbling along on the ground garnishing their own tombs. You must know prophetically who you are and be positioned to know what scriptures you are to fulfil in the same way as Bro Branham knew what scriptures he was to fulfil. Knowing that God sent a prophet is not a new birth. A new birth is to clearly know your own position and have it live out through you. Some of the subjects that were taught were these: 1. The Five Fold Ministry. 2. Foolish Virgins 3. The Elect Jews. 4. Seven Feast Days of the Lord. 5. Theophanies / glorified bodies. 6.The Seven Dimensions. 7. The Seven Trumpets. 8. The Seven Thunders. 9. Revelation chapter twelve. 10. Daniels last half week. 11. The Brides part. 12. The rapture cycle. 13. The spirit of Jezebel. 14. Time/eternity. Page 3

Mission: Pakistan Later in the week we went on a 5 hour car trip to Lahore and met many wonderful Saints there and went to the home of Bro Jabran Gil who was my interpreter for most of the time.

After that we went to the city of Saghoda and met Bro Shabaz Masih s group and had an excellent meeting there.

5 Mission: Pakistan Later in the week we went on a 5 hour car trip to Lahore and met many wonderful Saints there and went to the home of Bro Jabran Gil who was my interpreter for most of the time. He has a very good understanding of the message and is a very zealous young minister and one of the brothers we met in Indonesia. After that we went to the city of Saghoda and met Bro Shabaz Masih s group and had an excellent meeting there. Bro Shabaz is taking the message around in the areas he lives in and is having a great success there. He was also in Indonesia last year. Because of the potential security problems being a military area - we could not stay long and headed back to Rawalpindi. In the rural areas the churches by law have to have armed security guards. In one particular church some brothers were licenced to hold automatic rifles and guarded the gate access into the church. To walk from one area to another I had a guard in front and one behind as a deterrent for radicals if they should ever turn up. However, I did not have any troubles in any shape or form and it was superficially a very peaceful place to go to. One thing the Lord demands is respects. Bro Branham showed us that the Lord takes it personally if you don t respect His people. The thing that stood out in Pakistan was the absolute respect and generosity the brethren in Pakistan have. It is because of that respect that the Lord came on the scene and anointed the meetings with the open word and healings. There were about 5 ordinations of pastors that I was able to attend and the opening of a new church in Rawalpindi. Now there is the obvious question of how can the message be promoted when there are so little message books available. Where there is a problem, there must be a way around the problem. I took with me 100 micro-sd cards with the full 1200 messages and the bible on them on MP3 and PDF formats which can be put into cell phones. But they were in the English language which isn t much help to those who can t speak or understand it. Page 4

Mission: Pakistan The only way around the problem is to find out who in each church can speak English (about 5%) and then get one English speaker to take a group of 10 non-english speakers and

However some brothers are now taking the initiative and are starting their own translating and are going to print books in Pakistan themselves rather than relying on foreign entities.

6 Mission: Pakistan The only way around the problem is to find out who in each church can speak English (about 5%) and then get one English speaker to take a group of 10 non-english speakers and verbally translate off the PDF files. That is our only way at present to get things done because of the lack of sermons available in their own language. However some brothers are now taking the initiative and are starting their own translating and are going to print books in Pakistan themselves rather than relying on foreign entities. The added advantage is that the printing is much cheaper than getting foreigners to do it and cutting costs by half. Also, from these 100 SD cards they can and have replicated them locally and will send them around the country. So far over 200 cards are now in circulation and more are on the way. Since the beginning of the year, Bro Malcolm Wano, Bro Nestor Espanola and myself have gone into Pakistan and can testify that many more ministers are needed to go into that country and help them out. But those ministers cannot be 5 star hotel ministries. Our prophet showed us that the way to win hearts is to be like the people you go to. You live with them, eat with them, suffer with them and love them. Love enters into their infirmities and when love is projected, sovereign grace takes over. I will do the Vietnam part of this last missionary trip next month. I want to pass my heartfelt thanks onto all the brethren that have supported this work by finances and materials. Without your prayers and support there would have not been the success. Shalom. Bro Adrian Gray (New Zealand). Page 5

8 Mi$$ion Fund$ WARNING!! If any person wishes to contribute to missionary work in any nation you must be very careful how you go about it. The message umbrella is not a guarantee that your funds will arrive at the intended destination nor a guarantee that somebody won t find a way of increasing their own personal worth. Every nation I have been to has their charlatans that specialize in diminishing somebody else s returns. Never blindingly trust any person no matter how well they can quote the message and the bible. The way around it is to find somebody that has experience and a good reputation for getting money to the right places and the right people and who audits every transaction and can provide receipts for all the activities that the investment has been put to. That investment must show fruits of increase that benefit the people spiritually. In other words there must be progress shown. If money is being sent for translation work then ask: who is translating, how many new books have been translated each year, where have the books gone to, and show me the addresses and names of the people who have received them B INVESTMENTS_ SHREVEPORT.LA SATURDAY_ «E-9 A fellow that s got money wants to put it to a good investment, of course. A man that has as much as, say, ten thousand dollars, he would like to put it to some investment. Don t keep it in your pocket, cause you know thieves will steal it. And so, you don t want to do that. So you want, if you re a good sound businessman, you want to put it to something that ll- -it ll draw dividends. You want to put it to something to usury. You know about the talents in the Bible. So you must put it to some use that ll draw dividends out of it, some good sound business. Some message entities have a consolidated fund which has no accountability to show where an individual s money is utilized and many times some faceless person decides its destination. If there have been doubts, then ask questions and get answers. If possible avoid middle-men entities that have political agendas that hide behind a message façade. Remember that you donation is the Lords money for the purpose of the Kingdom of God. Use it wisely with your eyes wide open. God bless you. Bro Adrian Gray. Page 7
