GATEKEEPERS GLOBAL MINISTRIES GGM NEWS *** NEWS *** NEWS *** NEWS*** Reaching the nations, one heart at a time GGM STATS FOR APRIL/MAY 2011 NEW SALVATIONS = 241 TOTAL = 31,450 CHURCH PLANTS = 73 Dear Gatekeepers, Well the sun is shining in Scotland (finally!) this beautiful morning after about pouring down incessantly upon us every day in May. Continuous grey skies have a way of dampening the enthusiasm of even the cheeriest of souls! However, during the non-stop drizzle it occurred to me how some countries are crying out for rain and yet here we have an over abundance. Our perspective is so often affected by our needs or wants whether they are real, perceived, physical, emotional, mental or spiritual. It is helpful to view things through a different lens from time to time. It always amazes me how our children can view their physical surroundings so differently from adults. They see details that we occasionally miss; they have a fresh and dynamic approach to their surroundings that is inspirational. They are resilient, hope-filled and view a huge rain puddle more as an opportunity for fun rather than a potential soggy-sock disaster to be avoided. Hmmm, where did I put my wellington boots During the period of extended rain and dull grey skies we began to wonder if we would ever see sunshine again and feel the comfort of the warmth of sunshine on our chilly bodies! It occured to me that delay in our lives in respect to waiting for promises to be fulfilled, or circumstances to change to the glory of God, can sometimes have much the same effect as continuous rains and dark ominous rain clouds. A Testimony of Delay that Turned to Delight When I was in New England last year I prayed for a young woman who had been trying to conceive. She and her husband were believing God to move in miracle-working power in their situation but a good deal of time had passed with no little one to hold and several heartbreaking miscarriages. When I met Mona I felt faith rise in me for her situation and compassion filled my heart. I prayed
with her, laid hands on her and commanded the barrenness to be broken and life to come forth in the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. It was a poignant and powerful moment where our faithful God moved. I just received a testimony this week from Mona s friend sharing that Mona has recently given birth to a beautiful baby boy. We give God all the glory for the wonderful news! Mona s testimony really touched my heart; she and her husband are such an example to us that delay in the time-line of God s sovereignty and divine plans for our lives does not mean denial. Our God is inherently kind and good and His promises to us and our children will come to pass. Let s stand together in faith declaring breakthrough over our lives and our families for the glory of God! As we approach Pentecost, may the Holy Spirit pour the gift of God s grace, glory and love in, to and through each one of us.

We had just eaten dinner with the children and Fuson was getting ready to go home when I heard Father ask me to share the Truth with him. With my very limited Mandarin, his limited English, and my simple stick figure sketching, we discussed the greatest story ever told. He was so happy to listen and then to open his heart. What an awesome moment! I know Father is going to use Fuson for His purposes. PHILIPPINES From Bobbie and Sarah Cuenca, Apostolic Ministries Full Gospel, Lapu Lapu City SALVATIONS (120) Dear Catherine, All Glory belong to Him who love us and died for us. First I will say God open the door so that we can share the gospel of salvation to the scavengers and tricycle pedal bike drivers. Fifty pedal drivers and
fifty three scavengers. Since our venue is small we do it at two places. One at the drop in center for the scavengers with there children and one at the dumpsite for the pedal drivers with there pedal bikes and some bring there family. We started with Prayers then Praise and worship led by Pastor Joy and we share to the poorest among the poor family the greatest gift Jesus our Lord, salvation was simply preach and the pedal bikes and the scavengers responded to receive the Lord Jesus. Praise God the heavens rejoices for the souls that receive the Lord Jesus as Lord and Savior. WE ARE SO OVER JOY. Jesus saves and the gospel is for the poor. One hundred twenty accepts the Lord. The scavenger and pedal bike drivers are so thankful. Above all they are very interests to hear the good news. We decided to do the bible study every Wednesday start 1:00 p.m. Next Wednesday we will have another bible study with the scavenger and pedal bike drivers. We pray that they will grow in the Lord and in the Word. We have ten bibles that We use the pedal driver to read in the bible studies. After the bible studies they ask if they can have the bibles. We give it to them and 140 bibles are still needed. UGANDA From Pastor Ken Knowles, Awinjo House Ministries, Tororo SALVATIONS (21) Mama Florence is a real blessing to this ministry. She fasts and prays 2 to 5 days a week for the ministry, and is planning to fast the month of May. Things are changing as a result of her prayers. Many of the older kids went to the hospital to pray for the sick on the 3rd and 21 people got saved.
That evening we worshiped for a long time and the Holy Spirit came and even little girls were praying seriously. USA From Jessica N Bass HEALING (1) Dear Catherine, I also meant to mention that my friend Mona, the woman you prayed for at the New England Prayer Center, is with child!
