World Missions For Jesus

On April 3-4, 2012 we had a special retreat for pastors and their wives. We invited them for a time to get away with their spouse and be refreshed. We had 4 couples who had been married for at least 20 years come to Springs of Living Water for two days. During that time we had a guest minister share about marriage and communication and we gave the couples a special time together.

Testimonies:
1. My relationship with my spouse has grown deeper and has been renewed.
2. Actually everything was new [for me]. The things that we’ve discussed here were never done in other couple’s retreat that we attended.
3. [I learned to] always remember my position as a child of God in dealing with my husband especially when responding to him in times of conflicts.

In 1990, the Lord led Ulrich Huyssen to purchase a building and make it into Bethesda, a home for unwed mothers. In order to do this the Lord had to provide a down payment of over $20,000 in about a week. This building also became the headquarters for all the ministry we do in the Philippines and in Southeast Asia. In 1998, Gisela Huyssen received clear instructions from the Lord to construct a building called Springs of Living Water. Not knowing how and not having the money, moved forward in obedience. Springs of Living Water is finished and has been fulfilling its purpose as a place for training and refreshing for the Body of Christ. Now in 2012, we are taking a new step of faith. Next week we are purchasing the land adjacent to the mission compound. The Lord is leading us to build a church and community center. The vision is community transformation. By building on building we will have the open door to reach 200 families not only spiritually, but physically through livelihood projects and more. Compassion International provides sponsorship for poor children’s education all the way until they are 18 years old. A prerequisite is that there needs to be a church and the church needs to own the land and own the building. We’re already working with them as we begin to move forward on this building project. We can see so much potential, but the important thing is to simply be obedient to the Lord. The funds for the land is in place, for everything else, we must wait upon the Lord to provide. We’re beginning to work on the plans and on the costs for everything. Please join us on this journey of faith!

The WMFJ Children’s Ministry is now called “H.O.P.E. Kids”! The idea for the H.O.P.E. ministry is to help the people in our community excel in different areas of their lives, both spiritually and physically.  As a part of helping them excel physically, we recently shared with the children the importance of having proper hygiene. We told them that their bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit and that they need to take of it by making sure they bathe every day, brush their teeth, wear clean clothes, cut their fingernails and keep their hair neat. When we had our next meeting after we introduced this to them, it was exciting to see these young kids freshly bathed, teeth brushed and wearing not necessarily brand new clothes, but clean and washed clothes. Many times, because of where these kids live and their lifestyle, their parents don’t teach them about proper hygiene, because they themselves don’t know what it means and how to do it.  This causes frequent sicknesses like cough, cold, diarrhea and even skin diseases to happen and get passed on to other members of the family. We are excited to be able to impart even the most basic thing to these kids and hopeful that their parents will see the change and be encouraged to do the same.

God is a God of power!  Nothing is too difficult for Him!  We have seen Him do miracles in the last month.  It’s amazing how when we seek Him and worship Him, He shows up and does something only He can do.  God gets all the glory, honor, and praise.

Last e-mail we wrote about four miracles that happened.  Since then we receiver reports of 2 people being healed from tuberculosis, another person healed from high blood pressure, and also some healed from prostate problems.  God is Awesome!

During the last couple of weeks we have seen God move mightily as we simply worship Him.  We can count at least 10 healing miracles so far, with more testimonies coming in.  Here are a few!

• A person who had a broken arm couldn’t move his arm without pain and the range of motion was limited – He received full range of motion with no pain!
• A lady who had a sprained shoulder for almost 8 months was healed and could mover her arm with no more pain!
• A lady was healed from high blood pressure
• God touched a lady who had asthma for over 30 years, now she can breather normally
• Cylas from our worship team was healed from a ear infection/pain that he had for about 3 weeks
• Two people testified that God healed the from tuberculosis!

God is a good God and nothing is impossible for Him!
