48 packets of pictures of Jesus to Argentina alone

9-27-2007

We sent out a mailing today with 48 packets of pictures of Jesus going to Argentina! We also sent various packets of pictures to Chile, Uruguay, Canada, Zimbabwe, Portugal, Spain, Ghana, Malaysia, Nigeria, India, South Africa, Singapore, Australia, and several packets within the USA. What a great opportunity for Jesus! Thank you, Robert and Catherine, for sending the money for this mailing. When their contribution to OJP came by mail, we were so happy that we almost ran to the post office to send out these packets that were already ready to send, just waiting for the money to go.

Within the US, we sent pictures of Jesus to a teenage girl who called from Las Vegas, NM, to a man who wanted nine larger pictures "for the fruits of the Spirit", to a pastor in a nursing home, who said he will show the video FROM OJP TO RWANDA WITH LOVE to his Bible Study in the home, and ask them to pray for Rwanda and for the new school starting in January 2008, to someone in Ohio who wrote by snail mail for a picture, to a woman in Indiana whose sister gave her one, who now wanted more, to someone from CraigsList where we purchased an item, to a man who found a picture of Jesus in a motel called THE BUTCH CASSIDY MOTEL while he was on a motorcycle trip in the South, and to others. Requests come by phone, by snail mail, by email, and from people that we met as we went about our daily business in the towns around us.

The other night Therese and Jordan Cooper went to the store in a town near us and they saw an employee at the store whom they had not seen for awhile. She and Therese started talking and the woman told them about having surgery recently and asked Therese and Jordan to pray for her. They both immediately laid hands on her and asked Jesus to help her recover swiftly. Therese told her about different healings that Jesus has done lately as Jordan and we have prayed for people. The woman started to cry and asked them to pray for her sister who has been very sick and is down to 100 pounds. Therese went out to the car and got some of the 8x10 pictures of Jesus to give to her and to her sister. After coming back with the pictures, while they were rejoicing and thanking Jesus, and the woman was saying how grateful she is to Jesus, another woman came by and heard them and wanted pictures of Jesus too, so they gave her some also. After Therese called and told me about this, I was praying for them, and Jesus said, "They will have more to be grateful about" so we are trusting Him and are hopeful that He intends to heal the sister as well.

A friend in another state told us how glad she was when she looked at a car to her left while stopped at a traffic light and she saw a picture of Jesus that we give out, hanging from the car's rearview mirror. Her heart leapt with joy, she said. Jesus in Hawaii. Jesus on the Mainland in the USA, Jesus in Rwanda, Jesus in Argentina, Jesus spreading among the nations of the world. How much He really loves us. What joy to share His pictures, His presence, with the world. We share the pictures, as the Holy Spirit leads, and He does the rest.
