~News Update from Gary and Kristi Landaw

Field News and Update  from Gary and Kristi Landaw Greetings to you today. We wanted to touch base with you and let you know of what has been going on for the past few weeks. Evangelism with TBC Missions team. Bro. Gary Carter, Missions Dean of Texas Bible College brought a group of 27 people to Puerto Rico. They had practiced songs in Spanish so they sang in Spanish; evangelized on the streets; had 3 street meetings and preached in 6 churches as well as painted the inside of a church. From their special services we have had new people in the new work we are beginning. We thank God for the sacrifice of this wonderful group. Puerto Rico Ministerial Conference with new Regional Director for CAC Region. Bro.  David and Sis. Yonda Schwarz blessed the Ministeral Conference with their preachings and teachings. During this conference Bro. Alfredo Lopez was re-elected as Superintendent of the work. (Photo of the Lopez and Schwarz family). Please continue to pray that strongholds will be broken in the San Juan Metroplex. Also pray that God leads us to key people. We need wisdom to know how to reach the masses of people in this area. Again, thank you for being there for us. You are an integral part of the work in Puerto Rico and Trinidad. Gary and Kristi Landaw

~The Hajduk Manifesto - March 2012 / Croatia

The Hajduk Manifesto

We have moved into Zagreb, the capitol of Croatia; population close to 800,000. There has never been an UPCI church here. Most of the people we talked to have not heard the word "Pentecost" and our landlord is convinced it has something to do with a pentagram. 

Have you ever read a book by a pioneering missionary? You will find that the path leading to every revival is a bitter one. Not even a week into our settling in Zagreb, Radovan had attacks on his health, from drastic loss of breath to the discovery of a lump on his thyroid and water around his heart. We rejoice in victory over all of these and are thankful that the lump is benign!

MAKING PLANS

We have been getting to know Zagreb, feeling things out and becoming familiar with the city's pulse. We'll also be keeping our eye out for a small place to rent for meetings! We've settle into a peaceful neighborhood. Thanks for your prayers.

WRITING HISTORY

The first ever, UPCI church building Pastored by Bro. Andy Mamojka was dedicated in Ilok, N/E Croatia. With over fifty in attendance, we were ministered to by Missionary George Craft. He has been instrumental in completion of this church building along with Missionary Roger Buckland and my father-in-law Missionary Sam Balca. 

This church and it's pastor have lived through the destruction of the Yugoslavian Civil war, but are now having a fresh new start, in Jesus name! 

We have several contacts in other towns that we will be visiting and praying with and look forward to setting up regular meetings.

Continue to pray with us for open doors and opportunities to shine His light. You mean the world to us! 

Please sign up here to become our Partners in Missions.

~Mexigram - March 2012 / REVIVAL in Mexico Continues

From the email desk of Missionary T.Wynn Drost - General Superintendent UPC of Mexico

God continues to bless the Church in Mexico City! Below are some pictures of the recent Rally (or Congress, as we call it) here in Mexico City, last Monday, the 19th of March 2012.

We had nearly four thousand in attendance, with 81 receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and 3 were baptized in Jesus' Name.

Here's another angle and, another service. Monday the 19th was a national holiday. We had a total of three services, starting at 10 am and ending at 6:30 pm. The first service was the Men's service, with emphasis on Men's Ministries. The second was taken care of by the Ladies' Ministries, and the third was Youth Ministries. A tremendous blessing!

The platform area during the Ladies' service.

We are VERY excited with the continued growth that have in Mexico City - what we call: the Central District. This Central District is the "locomotive" or mainstay of our entire work in Mexico, both numerical and financial. Here are some statistics:

• 2,316 were baptized in 2011 in Mexico City; and,

• 2,589 received the Holy Spirit in Mexico City in 2011.

• We now have over 7,000 baptized believers in Mexico City!

• 104 Churches and Missions in this city.

The Holy Ghost was poured out in a wonderful way and, not only did 81 receive it, with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues, but there were many healings and miracles reported also.

EARTHQUAKE. Just yesterday we had a 7.8 earthquake here in Mexico City for which we are thankful to the Lord that there were no casualties (deaths) reported. Earthquakes are common here, the worst one being an 8.1 earthquake in 1985 that killed over 11,000 people. But today, the buildings are better and stronger.

We are experiencing revival - great spiritual earthquakes! To God Be The Glory!

We cherish and appreciate your prayers for continued revival in this great country!

~David F. Gray Memorial Bible School / Vanuatu, South Pacific

*************************************************************
PROJECT: David F. Gray Memorial Bible School


The desire of Missionary Lee Sherry in Vanuatu, South Pacific is to see the completion of this Bible School. You will be seeing and hearing a lot of information concerning this project in the coming months. Please be much in prayer about what you could do to help...there is a need of approximately $200,000 dollars to finish this building. 


Below are some photos of the structure as it now stands:

The Sherry family is now home on deputation for approximately one year...they would like to complete this Bible School during their next term in office. It will be completed - let's help them do it soon after their return to the island.

From the email desk of Missionary T.Wynn Drost - General Superintendent UPC of Mexico

• 9,550 baptized in 2011; and,

• 9731 received the Holy Spirit in 2011.

• Our baptized solid membership grew by 20.6% in 2011

• Our Constituency today is of 109,049 in all of Mexico

• We have 863 Licensed Ministers and Pastors in the UPCM

• We have 981 Churches and Missions in the UPCM

We are VERY excited with the growth the God continues to give the United Pentecostal Church of Mexico. The statistics that you see above are the rresult of what was compiled in all 28 Districts that we have in this country.

ANNUAL MINISTERS' CONFERENCE.

We just finished driving to all of those Districts that we have in Mexico, a total of 17,100 kilometers (or, 10,625 miles) during the months of January and February - in a total of 44 days. In each District we have their yearly District Assembly with the financial reports and elections for the different District offices. We rejoice over the results of what God is doing and has done during this past year of 2011.

Mexico is truly a revival field! That we know of, there is no other country in the world today reporting (consistently) that many being baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit each year. God has given us a great group of dedicated Pastors and leaders, who love God and are working very hard for the Lord. We have not reached a plateau, but are only seeing the beginnings of MUCH MORE!

In each District, not only were we thrilled with the statistical reports, but also many stories of healings, miracles, etc. Being that Mexico is going through a time of violence and many deaths, due to the ongoing drug-war that is being waged in this country, there are also tremendous testimonies of protection, while at the same time, of wonderful conversions from those dregs of sin. Jesus is still in the saving and life-transforming business!

Pictured above are students in a Bible School in Campeche where Brother Mario Alfaro (to my right in the pictures) is the District Supervisor. I was able to teach for three hours while there, during the first days in February 2012.

We are experiencing revival! To God Be The Glory!

We cherish and appreciate your prayers for continued revival in this great country!
