Dear Friends,
Happy Easter! JESUS IS RISEN! He who was dead because of our sin is now alive forever, proving His POWER, His MERCY, and His LOVE for us! SALVATION HAS COME!
It is such a joy to be here in Europe, shouting from the rooftops that the God who made us all gave His all for us so that we could know His grace, mercy, goodness, and love. EASTER IS THE GIFT OF RESURRECTION, the fulfillment of the Christmas promise, that Emmanuel has come, lived, died, and HAS RISEN to conquer every sin and set every captive free. Jesus freely offered Himself on the Cross to pay the staggering price for the sins of the whole world. Matthew Henry's Commentary states that, "All were lost and undone, dead and ruined, slaves to sin, having no power to deliver themselves, and must have remained thus miserable for ever, if Christ had not died." When He breathed His last and declared, "IT IS FINISHED!" Jesus Christ announced to the Universe that our debts were PAID IN FULL! This is Easter, the truth of God's Grace and Goodness that many in Europe do not know, and it is such a privilege to set the record straight and tell people the truth about who Jesus really is and all that He has done. Our goal is to reach more people in Europe this year than ever before. That’s how we are celebrating Easter – PROCLAIMING THAT JESUS CHRIST IS ALIVE!
DAN'S 60TH BIRTHDAY
Dan's broken leg is healed! Thank you for all your prayers. He is fit and eager to get on with the work of the ministry. We're setting a goal for Dan’s upcoming birthday on May 21st. When asked recently what he wanted for his 60th, his immediate response was, “I want to see souls saved in Bulgaria!” So please pray for Dan's desire and if you would like to send a gift for this milestone birthday, he will use it for this MISSION TO BULGARIA.
UPDATE ON CALIFORNIA MARRIAGE CONFERENCE
In March we were honored to be guest speakers at the California Foursquare Gold Coast Marriage Conference hosted by New Life Santa Barbara. Over 200 came and the presence of God was so powerful - bondages were broken, marriages healed, hearts mended, oppressions ceased, and hope released! It was a very significant event and testimonies continue to come in. Thank you, New Life, for making this happen!
NORTHERN IRELAND
A good friend of ours who is a Christian leader worked very hard to put on an outreach event. His labor of love for the lost was rewarded as his daughter and son-in-law were brought to Christ. Then the Holy Spirit moved in another church and many new believers were filled for the very first time. Their faces glowed – the place was a sea of joy. The next stop saw a strong prophetic flow that impacted many in the congregation including the youth of about 60 strong and the leaders. We always have a good time with our great friends in Northern Ireland. Pray for these new believers. The hope of the nation rests with them!
REMEMBER TO SHARE YOUR FAITH WITH SOMEONE THIS EASTER! THERE IS NO GREATER ACT OF LOVE!
Our love and blessings to you,
Dan and Nori
