Letter from Joseph in Ghana

Here is a letter from Joseph in Ghana. He has a total of thirty people with him including children, they are keeping their eyes on Jesus through many trials and hardships. They found a house that everyone can live in and farm the land. The Father is making it possible for us and those with us to help them get into this house. Our hearts are full when we pray for them, knowing their faithfulness in conditions that many in the church would be unable and even unwilling to bear. We are so glad that the Father is helping them, and we join together to give the Father a home for His little flock in Ghana. Father, thank You for Your loving kindness as these people give out the pictures of Jesus in a land so thirsty for Him. In Jesus' name.


Dear Char & everyone at OJP,Greetings to you all in the precious name of Lord Jesus Christ! We are overwhelmed with joy for the goodnews. We are so thankful to Jesus and to all of you for allowing Jesus to do His will through you. We couldn't wait but informed the landlord immediately, he was happy that we are coming up with the money, but he insisted that he had some bills of the renovation he did at the property which he must pay before the weekend is over, so we should try to give him at least half of the demanded advance(i.e. $200) before the 1st october when we will pay the rest. We do pray daily that Jesus will provide for the pictures and for mailing. It is also a goodnews to hear that you will be sending pictures and tracts soon! We are pleased that you have put the tract "Yesu le agbe be ya nya wo nuko!" on the internet so that other people can read it, and some people can print copies and share with others! Please share our greetings, love and thanks to all the brethren there. We look forward to hearing from you.Your brother,Joseph & the brethren here

5,000 MORE pictures to Rwanda

9-21-06 Today we mailed out the box of pictures to Pastor Jean in Rwanda. 5,000 pictures of Jesus- we are rejoicing! The people with Pastor Jean have gladly agreed to string the pictures themselves, which is an enormous help and insures more rapid delivery of the pictures. We sent them the tract Jesus is Alive and Knows Your Name in four different languages, Kinyarwanda, Swahili, French, and English. We also sent DVD's of the THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST that they will give to other villages, and pastors, and wherever Jesus shows them. God Bless Pastor Jean, and Rwanda and God bless Kenneth Ezra from Uganda who first answered the call to bring the pictures into Rwanda, his faithfulness has created new avenues and pastors to help spread the pictures and film throughout post-genocide Rwanda. Read his story on our page about Rwanda.

Father, let the pictures and the dvd's reach the most remote places that You have Your eye on. Give the pastors means to rent or buy dvd projectors to show the film. Push the enemy out of the path of these powerful tools You have provided. Thank You Father, in Jesus' name.

Testimonies from Rwanda

Hello Char! I right now received your lovely message and in the same time I received the testimony from one of Pastors who use Jesus pictures in their evangelism. His name is Rev. Twahirwa Mathias: I have told you that he has a children ministry for worship here in Kigali. So I gave to him Jesus pictures and DVDs [of THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST] he used them and they were so fruitful in his ministry - "Thousand hills ministry". As you can see below is his own message and I am proud "spiritually!" for what Jesus is doing every where with Free pictures and The Passion dvds! I God bless you for thinking about our nation! I am ready to work for Jesus every where he'll send me for his work! My thanks also to Rev; Mathias for his abnegation (devotion) in God's work! Char I received also testimony from the house owner but it is written in kinyarwanda. I shall send it next time with its translation! God bless you!-- Pastor Jean.

From THOUSAND HILLS MINISTRIES to Pastor Jean:

Dear Reverend,

It was delightful to watch the Passion of the Christ with the other group of teeagers. The grassroots leaders have been faithful and issued an authorization for that purpose. Up to now we do not have a DVD player but we managed to hire one. The projector did a very good job. A committed Christian bought for us petrol for the other hired generator. While watching the movie, for everyone there, It was as if Jesus was dying. Young people cried, shed tears, and accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. We need to pray and join hands together to win lost souls to Jesus Christ. Some old people were with us and it was unbelievable to see a 69 old man cying! All of them could not hide their emotions. Praise the Lord. Although I could interpret for them the words written on the screen, all said that they understood everything and pledged to read again The Passion of Christ in their Bible. They went back home joyfully within their hearts their King, Jesus Christ. I urge you to find by all means appropriate material.

Our Ministry, VISION DES MILLE COLLINES, through its ministries under the name of THOUSAND HILLS MINISTRIES, intends to continue to help more people in remote village in that way, overcoming their physical and spiritual hunger. Please join me in prayer for this purpose. My ministry is still infant in need of health and growth to meet the need of people in the post genocide period.The pictures have been given to them after the watching of that movie. And I ned more and more DVDs to give.

Yours prayerfully,

Rev. Mathias Twahirwa

This is fruit. The Passion is available on dvd in bulk amounts in Sam's Club and Walmart. Please ask the Father about sharing the film and giving pictures.

Pictures to the troops.

Today we mailed out a box of pictures to our sister Mary B. in the U.S. who strings them for us. She says it feels good to do this for Jesus. (This is a tremendous help as we have so many requests and so much to do. It makes it possible for us to continue to keep relatively current. If you would be interested in helping us by stringing pictures write to us and we will give you the details.) Doug and Therese's daughter Emily also has asked to string for Operation Jesus Pictures, and her help is greatly appreciated. We also mailed pictures to someone in California who requested them.

While at the post office I was talking to the clerk who has a family member who is a soldier stationed in Iraq. This clerk has sent pictures of Jesus to him there along with the card that has the message from the Father: "Look to Me", in which the Father speaks to our troops. The clerk said that her family member is in the states but waiting orders that should be coming anytime. I asked her if she thought he would want more pictures to take back, she said he probably would and actually would like some to give out at the base he is currently staying at. So we will be putting together a package for him.

We ask the Father to stay by our troops as they face evil. They are on the front lines where evil is moving like a raging river. The Father has His angels to send with all the troops. These angels are powerful and well versed in combat. Stand with them. Do your part to bring freedom and hope to those near you as He leads you. Pass out the pictures and THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST. Do this, and PRAY. Talk to Him about everything, and wait for His response.

Do you know of anyone in the military? Do any of your neighbors have family in the military? Ask us for pictures for them to give out. They want the pictures because they need Jesus to help them through this war. One of my brothers -in law who is in the military got orders for Iraq, and we gave him a package of pictures to take. Thank You Father for everything You do. We love You.

Letters about the pictures of Jesus

9-13-06 We received the following letters today:

From Pastor Jean in Rwanda to Operation Jesus Pictures:

Today I was in contact with Pastor Mathias who has a children Worship ministry here in Kigali.The Jesus pictures were important for his ministry! Many children are joining his ministry every day! The glory is for God! I am receiving different testimonies from many people who had received Jesus pictures or Dvds of the christ passion! I would like let you know one of Testimonies from around. It is from AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH /Guerizim Parish here in KIGALI. You shall certainly have it at next! God bless you!

From Pastor Mathias in Rwanda to Pastor Jean:

Hello Pastor! We praise the Lord and we are glad to tell you that we are thankful! We can tell you that the work you did for us was very fruitful! the free pictures of Jesus were very important for evangelism throught the neighboring hills! Christians took them for people who need the Word and they were happy to receive Jesus! They received Jesus also in their hearts! We tried to shaw the passion of the Christ by a rented video and many people are now saved! They received Jesus.Nowadays our church is growing tremendeously! From 300 members now we are 650 in our local church! With our 3 choirs we plan to organize some God songs concerts in october and november just before Christmas, we shall need more pictures(more than 2000 pictures) please keep them in reserve for us! God bless you!

The above letters are evidence of the Father being with the pictures.Isn't this what it's all about? And the Father makes it simple: just give out the pictures, show and share THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST....He will do the rest

Rescue the perishing, Care for the dying,

Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave;

Weep over the erring one, Lift up the fallen,

Tell them of Jesus, the mighty to save.

Rescue the perishing, Care for the dying,

Jesus is merciful,Jesus will save.

Though they are slighting Him,

Still He is waiting,

Waiting the penitent child to receive;

Plead with them earnestly,

Plead with them gently;

He will forgive if they only believe.

Down in the human heart,

Crushed by the tempter,

Feelings lie buried that grace can restore;

Touched by a loving heart,

Wakened by kindness,

Chords that were broken will vibrate once more.

Rescue the perishing,

Duty demands it;

Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide;

Back to the narrow wayPatiently win them;

Tell the poor wanderer a Savior has died.

Rescue the perishing,

Care for the dying, Jesus is merciful,

Jesus will save.

More picture updates

9-12-06 We received a call this morning from a lady in Kentucky, she got a picture of Jesus from the same veterinary office as the man who called in yesterday. She asked if she could get more pictures and I mentioned we could send her more to give to her family and friends and she was glad to be able to do that, such fruit from the one place. Those of you with business or shops put out a basket for the pictures, let the Holy Spirit do the rest. AND HE WILL.

9-12-06 Today my son and I were at a customer's house, for the carpet cleaning company we have, when we were done cleaning I offered her a picture of Jesus. She looked at Him and then me and said, but you see we are Jewish. I told her she can ask the Father about Jesus. She said "We ask God many things." I told her if she will ask the Father and wait He will show her about Jesus. She accepted the picture and said "I respect Jesus' teachings but we don't believe like Christians. " I said "Whatever the Father says or shows you, you can trust because He is the One who spoke to Moses, and Abraham, and Elijah. "The One you are asking", I told her," is the One who told Moses to go and bring the Israelites out of Egypt, the One who spoke to Abraham, the One who Elijah proved was the true God." There was acknowledgment in her face about what I was saying and she thanked us. Now the presence of Jesus with the pictures is all through out her house, like a still small voice. The Messiah is calling to His chosen ones.

9-12-06 Today we mailed out 12 packages. One of them went to the college student in Rwanda we mentioned in a previous post on this blog, who was requesting pictures to give them out. We sent him 1000 pictures as well as DVD's of the Passion of the Christ and the Jesus is Alive and knows your Name writing in several different languages, their own tongue kinyarwanda, as well as Swahili, French and English. Five were to sent to France, one to Ghana, one to the request from Venezuela and the rest going to various states in the U. S.

Think of that student, young and eager to pass out these pictures, to fellow young students and to anyone the Father will reach. Pray for those who are in parts of the world passing out these pictures at risk to themselves. Pakistan, brother Nelson and Waheed. The danger is real, the same danger that Paul faced and all that have gone before us.

The pictures show up everywhere.

We received a phone call from a man this morning, who had gotten a picture of Jesus from his veterinarian's office in Kentucky. He called to ask if he could have some of our larger (8x10) ones. He said he really needs Jesus to help him right now because he and his family have been served with an eviction notice. He said he lives with two family members who are disabled, and would like pictures for them, plus a friend who has severe liver problems and his daughter. We talked for a while and as he told me all that unfolded between himself and his landlord I was looking at Jesus and Jesus said to me that He will help them. I told the man what Jesus said and he was so grateful, and he said he felt better already. He thanked us for the pictures we will be sending and for praying for them. We will be sending more pictures to them this week. Pray for him and his family. Father, we look to You for help, we see as You show the condition of this world and we know that it is Your love they need. Thank You, Father for giving us this tool that is so powerful that causes people to speak to You we know You will answer all who seek You. We will give the pictures out with joy and we thank all those who are helping us to do this great thing. A special thanks to Corinne K and Felicia who gave the money for postage to mail out all the packages we have waiting to send.

23 packets of pictures

9-8-06 Today we mailed out 23 packets of pictures. 19 of them went to various states in the United States and four went overseas. Thank you, Mary for the donation for postage which mailed these packets. The four going overseas went to the U.K., India, Russia, and Australia. We still have six packets to mail to France, awaiting the new translation of Jesus is Alive and knows your Name in French, and one going to Ghana.

We also have some large packages of 5000 pictures each that we will be getting ready as soon as possible, going to three different Pastors in Rwanda. Two other packages of 1000 pictures each will be going to a student in Rwanda, and a student in Ghana. We also a request for pictures from Venezuela (We got the request from Venezuala the day after Silvana prayed against Hugo Chavez and Char saw the Father send angels there, and Felicia saw the demons in that nation opposed by angels) and Ghana and Canada, and several requests to fill that came via phone calls.

9-7-06 We received a request today for pictures from another prison inmate. He writes as follows: Operation Jesus Pictures, How can I receive Jesus Pictures for myself and for some of the guys here? What ever you can send would be a blessing. Or let me know how I can receive information on how to acquire these picture. Thank you for your time. God Bless you.

Woke up from coma with Jesus picture in her hand

We received a call from a women this morning who said that a few years ago she was in the hospital because she had been poisoned. She was in a coma for ten days. When she woke up she had a picture of Jesus in her hand. She doesn't know who put it there. She said she knows that Jesus saved her life. At one point the doctor said to her daughter that he had done all he could for her and now it was up to "a higher power". She said no amount of money could have bought that picture for her and that Jesus saved her life. She has carried the picture ever since everywhere she goes. She called to ask for more pictures.

8-29-06 We mailed out nine packets of pictures today. Two were sent to Albuquerque, one into Florida, and another into Virginia. The others went overseas: two into Russia, one into Belgium, one Great Britain and one into Canada.

8-31-06 We mailed out fifteen packets of pictures today, eight went to various states in the United States. The seven remaining went overseas. Two went into France, one into India, one into the United Arab Emirates, (please pray for him, and those who will receive Jesus' pictures there, it is dangerous for them), one to Nigeria, Zimbabwe, and the United Kingdom. The one going to India wants to pass them out to people, so we sent him 1000 pictures along with 15 DVD's of the Passion of the Christ.

9-1-06 We receive many requests from prisoners, please pray for them.Today we received a letter from a prisoner who writes: Dear Sirs, I am presently in D.O.S. here in New Mexico. I'm originally from Colorado. I have once again turned my life over to our Father in Heaven. I just know it will be different this time, I have been in and out my whole life thru. I would like to have some laminated pictures of Jesus, please, and thank you. Different sizes would be fine. Your friend in Jesus.

We will be sending them out to him soon.

9-2-06 The request we received from Cuba recently was mailed out today! We sent them 890 of the strung pictures of Jesus along with some large pictures and some of the mediums and JESUS IS ALIVE AND KNOWS YOUR NAME tracts in Spanish. We also sent them several DVDs of the Passion of the Christ. God bless the people of Cuba. Jesus, please bring freedom to them.


9-02-06 Today we received a call from someone in Colorado, she requested pictures and a DVD of the Passion of the Christ. Her friend who recently requested pictures told her about the pictures of Jesus.

We also have requests from; Rwanda, Ghana, Russia, France, India, and Zimbabwe that we are working on. We are so grateful for those who help us by stringing pictures for us. It would be impossible to do this on our own. Thank you, Father, and bless everyone who participates with OPERATION: JESUS PICTURES.
