Praying at the hospital

Today we received a call from our printer Mark. His father is in the hospital and was just diagnosed with cancer. Mark and his family were on the way to the hospital. We offered to come and lay hands on Mark's father, Louie, and pray for him, and Mark gladly accepted.

I went in my room to get my bag and a few items. I opened a drawer to look for something I needed and I saw a notebook in the drawer. I pulled out the notebook and opened it at random to a page and looked down. The page was dated 1-26-2008, and there I had recorded a dream I had the night before. In the dream I was telling Therese and Silvana by the Holy Spirit that Jesus was going to send us out to pray for people with cancer and other diseases, and that He was going to move with power when we did so.

As we were driving to the hospital I saw the Father accompanying us. It was as though He was flying like an angel, but it was the Father. He was right over our car as we went. Just as we arrived at the hospital we received word that Doug and Rick were able to fix the problem with the RV's gas tanks not switching as they should, so now the RV is going to be ready to go out when the Father sends us, as He intends to do soon. When I heard the news, it seemed to me as though the repair to the RV came "as we were going out in His name" - as though the priests stepped out into the water and the waters rolled back. Thank you, Father, for opening doors for us to go through in Jesus' name.

Upon arrival at the hospital, we went directly up to Louie's room on the tenth floor. There we talked with him and laid hands on him with oil and asked Jesus to reverse the cancer, and reverse his other sicknesses. As we were praying, I felt power coursing through me like electricity. Therese saw the Father in the room with us.

We wanted to pray for others if we got the opportunity while at the hospital so we went to the 7th floor to leave some 8x10 pictures of Jesus in the ICU unit. We left several at the ICU desk and we gave one to a woman in a room there. We took the pictures into a waiting room on that floor, where everyone in the room wanted one. We also gave each of them a Supertract. We prayed for the brother of a woman named Jennifer. He had pneumonia but we asked Jesus to heal him as well. We also prayed for the friends and relatives of all the others in the waiting room.

We went back in the elevator, giving out a free picture of Jesus to everyone we met, and there we saw a woman who was weeping. We gave her a picture of Jesus and asked her the name of the person who is in the hospital and she said through her tears, "Margaret". So, we asked Jesus to heal Margaret whom He loves. What a day it will be when there is no more weeping, and no more fear.

We put some pictures of Jesus by the chapel on the second floor, and then we went down to the first floor to leave. We had to pass through the main waiting room, so we offered the picture of Jesus to everyone there and several people took one or more. We saw one young man who was groaning in pain, so we laid hands on Him and prayed for him as well. What an honor to go out in Jesus' name to pray for people. And Jesus has healed many people lately. Thank you, Jesus.

Judy shared pictures with her family

Last week we spoke with Judy on the phone. We had given pictures of Jesus to her last year. She said she took several of the 8x10 pictures that we gave to her and put them up in her house; one right when you walk in. When her nieces and nephews came in and saw the picture, they all wanted one. Judy told us, "You can tell who my family is because they all have the pictures of Jesus in their cars."

She said, "I am amazed that my friends and family members, who have never talked about God to me, that when they see this picture of Jesus they want one." We gave her more small pictures with string, and about ten 8x10s to give out. Judy said that from picture of Jesus, that she feels Jesus' presence. She said she feels Jesus' eyes looking at her, and she sees Him smiling at her from the picture.

Pictures of Jesus to the world - April 2008

Here are some of the countries where we sent pictures in our last mailing:

Tanzania
Rwanda
Ghana
Nigeria
South Africa

India
Indonesia

Brazil
Peru
Colombia
Argentina
Chile

Canada
England
Romania
Spain
Germany
Lithuania
Portugal

Cuba
Puerto Rico

Lebanon
Israel
Pakistan

Plus, all over in the USA. Jesus really helped us. Some of these requests have been waiting as we gather the supplies, especially the tracts. We leased a copier but had trouble with it. Then, friends of OJP bought a printer which is really helping us with the Supertracts and the prisoner tracts.

Three packages in the USA were for for people working with prisoners so each contained prisoner tracts. One packet went to a college student in Kansas who wants to pass out pictures on campus. One went to a man in Lebanon who asked for more pictures because he said that the Jesus pictures we sent him before were given away in ten minutes. One box contains 4000 pictures for Rwanda. One package went to a teacher in Puerto Rico who asked for a picture for each student in her school. One of the two requests from Lithuania asked for 500 pictures. The most packets to one country went to the USA, and the second most went to Argentina, who received 13 or 14 packets. Most of the requests came over the Internet (email) but one was a snail mail letter from a prisoner in Grants, NM, and six or seven requests were from people who called us. We usually try to send the call-ins fairly quickly because often someone in the family is sick or needs help in some way. Jesus has done some wonderful and powerful and life-changing healings.

The other day, I heard Therese talking on the phone with someone who called for free pictures who had received them before, and they were talking about the fact that when you look at Jesus you can see expressions on His face, and the expression changes. Often He smiles. But what they were saying that was so interesting and that I have experienced myself often, but didn't realize others had, is that Jesus will have an expression on His face that is an expression that you usually only see on the face of someone in your family. For instance, my family will twist their lips a little when they give a wry smile, but Jesus will do that sometimes when I am looking at Him. He relates to each of us. He is a great God, who longs for a relationship with every human on earth. Of course, it is the Holy Spirit who helps us to see in the Spirit at all. Jesus is present, and the Holy Spirt makes it possible for us to see Him. More and more and more people are telling us that they hear Him speak to them, some for the first time. And of course we tell everyone we can, "talk to Jesus, He WILL talk to you". And He does. We really are no different than Abraham: just humans, created by the same loving God, who desires our friendship, such as He had with Adam and Abraham and so many others.

Fruit from Jesus and the supertracts from OJP in Rwanda


Hello, I am glad to greet you again in Jesus' name our king and savior. I would like also to share some testimonies about supertracts. Many persons come to request for and persons feel comforted when reading the supertract. Some witnessed to me, "It is nice to read it because we feel the presence of Jesus talking to me face to face". One women who had 2 sick children and said that they read the supertract and believed that Jesus was drawing near and they prayed for their children. They hoped Jesus would heal them. Effectively, after 3 days children were being okay. One child had been suffering with diarrhea and other suffering of vomiting. It could be due to intestinal worms but the mothers had lost hope. After few days children are okay but their mothers said that only Jesus healed their children. For them they were thinking that the kids could die unless God brought them to be normal.

Other wise, I would like tell you that supertracts are well done. About sharing almost every day, persons share the supertracts or the tracts of Jesus (I had received a big quantity of tracts and supertracts on 9th April.) Yesterday I shared about 140 tracts of Jesus is alive and 70 supertracts. Today, April 13th I sent about 60 supertracts in Kigali Institute of Education and 3 dvds of the passion. The student who helps me spreading there received also 4 packets of smallest Jesus laminated pictures, all will be shared among students during prayers times.

Pastor Emmanuel received 700 supertracts and 30 dvds of the passion and 1200 Jesus pictures. He has to use them in seminar sessions. We watched the Passion of the Christ twice in the memorial days. (Remembering the 1994 genocide.) We remember how ours were lost but also Jesus lost his life so that we could have life and those who believe in Him have eternal life. Even some had gone before but there is a hope and we remember that Heaven is for those who believe in Jesus Christ.

Thank you for the supertracts and for tracts on Jesus is Alive. And for the dvds of the Passion. The Faith Comes By Hearing (audio NIV Bible) is also helping persons who can listen to it.
