B )  Open Doors Ministry sponsored a trip to Turkey for one week for the evangelical pastors with their families.  We enjoyed this trip, believing God's presence has stirred a breakthrough in the church of Turkey.  It is worth mentioning that my son, Fadi, was baptized in the waters of Turkey. "I know thy works:  Behold , I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it; for thou hast a little strength, and kept my word, and hast not denied my name."  Revelation 3:8.

C)  My daughter, Grace, passed the French language test  with outstanding results; therefore;  the French consulate rewarded her, along with a few other girls from the Holy Land, to have a seminar in France for two weeks.  Grace is now in the 11^th grade.  She is our Sunday school teacher.  She is gifted in songs and a capable teacher of the Bible. "…that our sons may be plants grown up in their youth's; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after similitude of a palace."  Psalm 144:12

D)  Our second boy, Bashir (means evangelist), is in the 3^rd year at the Bethlehem University.  He studies English.  He completed a summer course in the Bible; whereby, he provided 30 Bibles for his classmates.  Also, during last Christmas, he distributed hundreds of Cd's of the "Jesus Film" on the university campus. "And when one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus: 'Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. " Luke 14:15

E)  My fourth child, Raj'ee (means my hope), is in the 6^th grade.  He is anointed in songs and he is knowledgeable in the Bible.  "And the child grew ,and was strong in the spirit."  Luke 1:8

F)  My wife, Diana, joined a small group of the women from our church in a conference of Aglow in (Tantur) Jerusalem for a couple of days.  She is active in the ministry.  She serves the needs of the church, as well as in our society with the love and compassion of Jesus to them.  She is a leader in singing and is anointed to share the word of God to others.  "The Lord gave the word: 'Great was the company of those (the women) that published it'."  Psalm 68:11

G)  I, myself, after the baptism of the Holy Spirit in 1975, I am anointed, simultaneously with the Holy Spirit as men and women of God who prayed for me.  God has continued to pour out His Spirit upon me over the past 25 years.  Let the power of Jesus be manifested now in my ministry, in my country, in signs and wonders; as well as transformation on the life of sinners and believers. " For the kingdom of God is not in word ,but in power." 1 Corinthians 4:20

We should confess our sins to Jesus who will forgive our sins by his blood.  God,  the Father, will give you a new life.

The Lord will heal you from your sickness as you ask him.  He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.  He will answer the desires of your heart.  I pray that Jesus will touch you now, in the very points of your life, by the power of the Holy Spirit.  The Lord increases his anointing upon your  spirit.  "And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul." Acts 19:11

Yours truly,

Pastor Issa Zoughbi and family
