MISSIONS WEEK 4 -11 SEPTEMBER 2011 - MESSAGE OF FAITH BUILDING FUND PROJECT
Over this Missions Week the Church was not only Missions minded but Missions Active, we were able to start raising fund as we would like to purchase a Old Styled house that we would convert into a CHURCH. We raised R59500 over 2 weekends and add that to what we have raise over 5 years makes R109500, we are needing R800000 or more to purchase a property 1km from the existing hired hall in the Sarnia Hatten Estate Area
We are looking for Christians - Individuals, Business etc to donate and help us get these finances to purchase this house to covert into a CHURCH to the Glory of God
Here is the Letter that I make the appeal to Christians and Companies
To Whom it may Concern 11 September 2011
R.E: Urgent request for Funds towards Community Church Building.
I am Pastor Jacques Lowis the Senior Pastor of Woodlands Full Gospel Church of God in SA, and the Senior Pastor of a Church planted by Woodlands FGC 5years ago called Message of Faith Full Gospel.
Our church plant, preaching point and community outreach programs have been running from a rented out Girl Guide hall in Pinetown, and mid-week meetings from the homes of individuals of the congregation. At the moment we are averaging 50 Adults and 25 children that regularly attend our Faith Filled Word of God based meetings.
The Hall that we are currently in is becoming too small to facilitate our needs and so we are in disparate need of finances, to achieve buying an old styled house with a large garden in the Pinetown Hatton Estate Sarnia area, that we will convert into a CHURCH.
We want to ask you if you and your Company would assist us with a financial donation, we are a registered P.B.O. and so fund’s that are given can be claimed back under (Section 18A of the Income Tax Act of 1962) at the end of the financial year as a donation.
We all know that advertising is a very costly thing to do now days and so we also want to help those who help us. For example :If your donation is R25 000 Message Of Faith will place a permanent Plaque one brick size into the foyer of the new church as a constant reminder of your goodness and generosity towards the work of the Lord. And this will remain as legacy left behind to future generations after we are all long gone. A R50 000 donation will receive a two brick size plaque , a R100000 donation or more will receive a A4 size plaque, however any donation would be appreciated and recorded in heaven.
In today’s world people are very concerned about our youth and there lack of morels. Morel decay is so prevalent because our youth are no longer aware of Godly ways and standards, we need to shine a torch of hope into the future generations and not keep what we have learned to ourselves.
Time and morel decay will eventually quench the flames of passion for Godliness, goodness, forgiveness and love if we don’t do something about it Today.
We tend to stand with our hands on our hips and say “WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO”
Well we need to stop standing around and get accountable and mobilized to what God is asking of us to do.
We are requiring R800 000 to start this project to date we have raised R100 000.
Please join us in donating a gift of love into the things that touch God’s heart. I know you will be blessed beyond measure. In the Bible Isaac sowed his seed in a time of famine and he reaped 100-fold back into his life. God’s promise is still true to day God will honour it and bless you and the work of your hands...
Please contact me on 0825440616 if you need to see me or if you need the Message of Faith building fund details, my email is wfgc@telkomsa.net or visit our website to view our missions at http://woodlandsfullgospelchurchofgod.yolasite.com

REPORT ON SPAIN MISSION - AUGUST 2004 BY PASTOR JACQUES LOWIS DURBAN SOUTH AFRICA
I want to report back to you, on my mission to Spain August 2004, of which you were a part of; in that your prayers over my life, allowed us together to change our World, one person at a time for Jesus. Your prayers were tangibly felt and seen through the miracles God performed over this time 16 – 28 August 2004, and I would love to share some of these wonderful testimonies with you. Firstly hear are a few Mission Statistics: 1. Our team packed Jesus packets = 1120 2. Our team gave out Jesus packets = 304 3. Our team prayer time over port & 10/40 = 7 hours 4. Total Jesus packets given by total team R.S.A / U.S.A and Lebanon = 3845 5. Total Jesus packets given this summer 2004 = 17300 Therefore +/- 103800 pieces of literature of either New Testament; Jesus video; Jesus audio; Wonder book or more than a Carpenter were handed out over the European summer. We had to operate from a triangle a restriction made by Customs and the Spanish officials but God sent an Agnostic to give us a word of encouragement from God – “God will use anybody if necessary “ This is what he said: - “my friend the triangle from which you struggle each day is the funnel through which God’s Love flows, is poured and is in fact
Father Son Holy Spirit Pouring their Love on Islam, Catholic, Agnostic and me from Ron.”
We had one Moroccan man refuse a parcel and drive and then go around the circle and when nobody was looking quickly received a Jesus packet of the gospel. We had another Moroccan man leave the Port Customs and parked his car outside and walked back and came and asked for “ Ingil “ ( the New Testament) Praise the Lord. Our team was complimented by – director of mission operation that even though we faced difficulty on the Port our team was united and had great spirit – “the Lord will command his blessing where there is unity.” Many times we prayed and interceded unitedly for Spain, as Spain has many evil strongholds. It is in fact the Devil who does not want Christians distributing the Gospel into Moroccans lives or the people of Spain, your continued prays for this would be effective. God helped us have favour with Port officials, to hand out to Moroccans coming in and out of Morocco, rich and poor. One car had 3 Moroccan men each man took a Jesus packet – Praise the Lord. Many will say “Me Tata” which means they have received before and just look at the smile – Jesus shines in their eyes. We had a lady say no to the Jesus Packet, a man in the car accepted I remember I handed out a package to a car and Yvonne from our team was walking with water and they asked for water to drink so she gave them the water – the bible says one will plant, one will water and another will reap, we believe this was prophetic action. We also saw whole families receive the Jesus packets – this brought tears to my eyes. One evening Sandra a member of our team was hit off the side walk by a motorist. He was travelling 60 km/h. All four of us were in line to be hit but only Sandra was hit as the driver swerved, Sandra was hit full on. She was flung 10 meters across the road and 3 meters into the air; we just saw a miracle as God gave his Angels charge over us. There were “hand prints” on her leg which we believe were from an Angel as she was not seriously hurt on landing , she was rushed to hospital in an ambulance, I managed to go with her but our hurdle was that we had no understanding of the language. I prayed that God would help us, when we got to the hospital a small strange lady came to me and said “you need my help I will interrupt for you.” I stood in awe as God unfolded yet another miracle in front of us. God helped me. “He says cast all your cares upon him for he cares for you “there was not one broken bone just bruising. I went back to thank the lady but nobody had seen her. Gods word was sent out into the lives of many people who are hungry for Him and His Salvation and for that I am so grateful that He used us to fore fill the Great Commission that is spoken of in the book of Acts. I assure you that there is a reward waiting for you in Heaven from the results of this mission, some of these testimonies only heaven will tell the impact of these Jesus Packets had over these two weeks. Yours in Christ Pastor Jacques.B.Lowis
REPORT ON SPAIN MISSION AND DALLAS USA - 2002 BY PASTOR JACQUES LOWIS, DURBAN SOUTH AFRICA
SPAIN MISSION:
GOD MADE
THIS IS THE COMMISSION THAT THE LORD GAVE ME FROM HIS WORD:
READING: MARK 16:15-18 15 He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well." (NIV)
HOW GOD SUPPLIED FOR ME TO GO ON THE MISSION:
THE TRIP COST R20000-00 AND I DID NOT KNOW WHERE I WAS GOING TO GET THIS KIND OF MONEY, BUT WHEN GOD GUIDES HE PROVIDES, SO I JUST MADE MYSELF AVAILABLE AND THEN GOD STARTED OPENING DOORS, I HAD ONE MAN TELEPHONE ME AND SAY THAT THE LORD HAD TOLD HIM TO GIVE ME R14000-00 FOR THE MISSION, THEN THE LORD SENT SOMEONE WHO NEEDED FINANCIAL ADVISE, AND I WAS ABLE TO ASSIST THEM WITH AN INVESTMENT WHICH PROVED TO BE VERY PROFITABLE, AND THEY WERE SO HAPPY THEY INSISTED ON GIVING ME R4000-00 FOR MY ADVISE, WELL WHEN I LOOKED AGAIN GOD HAD PROVIDED R18000 JUST LIKE THAT, BUT THEN THE LORD TOLD ME TO GIVE R4000 TOWARDS ANOTHERS MISSION TICKET, SO I DID AND WITHIN 2 WEEKS GOD SENT MONEY MY WAY THAT WAS ABLE TO MAKE UP THE FULL R20000-00 NEEDED FOR THE MISSION, BUT LORD I SAID I DON'T HAVE ANY SPENDING MONEY AND I ALSO NEED TO LIVE WHILST OVERSEA FOR 2 MONTHS, SO THE LORD SENT FURTHER FINANCES, " HE SAID HE WOULD SUPPLY OUR NEED " AND EVEN AT THE LAST MOMENT AT JOHANNESBURG AIRPORT, GOD SENT SOMEBODY TO GIVE ME R1000-00 ( $100-00)
READING: PHIL 4:19 And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. (NIV)
FEAR OF FLYING:
WELL GOD DELIVERED ME FROM THIS FEAR 11 KM UP AND 2 HOURS INTO THE FLIGHT HIS PEACE JUST CAME OVER ME, AND I RESTED IN HIS ARMS OF LOVE.
ATTACK: WHEN WE ARRIVED THE DEVIL REALLY TRIED TO ATTACK THE UNITY ON THE MISSION, AND IF HE CAN ATTACK UNITY THERE CANNOT BE A BLESSING, FOR GOD COMMANDS HIS BLESS WHEN HE SEES OUR UNITY.
CONDITIONS: IT WAS VERY HOT; VERY HARD CONDITIONS; WE HAD TO SUFFER VERY MUCH ABUSE AND MUCH REJECTION, THE SOME MORROCIAN'S SPIT IN YOUR FACE WHEN YOU PRESENT THE GOSPEL, BUT OH! WHAT A JOY WHEN ONE TAKES A PACKET CONTAINING THE GOSPEL. - " JESUS SAID THAT WE WOULD SUFFER PERSECUSSION FOR HIS NAME SAKE"
PRAYER IS THE ANSWER: I HAVE REALLY SEEN PRAYER IS NEEDED MORE THAN ANYTHING. GOD IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN CHANGE A PERSON. " NOT BY MIGHT NOR BY POWER BUT BY MY SPIRIT SAYS THE LORD"
READING: ACTS 17:24-28 24 "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. 26 From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. 27 God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. 28 `For in him we live and move and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, `We are his offspring.' (NIV)
MIRACLES: THERE WAS A PALESTINIAN TEAM HELPING AND THE LORD LEAD ME TO PRAY OVER SOME OF THEM AND GOD SHOWED ME THAT ONE IN PARTICULAR WAS GOING TO BE USED TO REACH THE LEADER OF THE GOVERMENT OF PALESTINE.... WELL WHILST WE WERE PRAYING IN TONGUES, GOD BEGAN TO TOUCH MY TONGUE AND IT BEGAN TO SOUND DIFFERENT, AFTERWARDS ONE OF THE PALESTINIANS TEAM, SAID HE UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING I WAS SAYING AND THAT I WAS SPEAKING ARABIC. PRAISE GOD REMEMBER: LIKE ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST THE PEOPLE OUTSIDE UNDERSTOOD WHAT EACH WAS SAYING.
MIRACLES: ABILA - A YOUNG MUSLIM MAN SAVED WHILST DISTRIBUTING: AN ARIB MAN CAME TO ME AND ASKED ME IN BROKEN ENGLISH TO EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BIBLE AND THE KORAN ( REMEMBER PHILLIP AND THE ETHOPIAN EUNUCH), I WAS TAKEN BACK BY THIS BECAUSE OF LACK OF UNDERSTANDING AND ALSO LANGUAGE - WELL AS IT HAPPENED TO PAUL WITH OPENING HIS MOUTH AND THE HOLY SPIRIT FILLING IT WITH THE WORDS, THAT GOD WANTS TO SPEAK. I SPOKE UNDER THE ANOINTING TO THIS ARAB IN DUTCH AND I EXPLAINED THE DEATH, AND THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST, I WAS ABLE TO PRAY FOR AND LEAD THIS MUSLIM TO JESUS CHRIST - HOURS LATER WE FOUND ABILA STILL WITNESSING TO OTHER MUSLIMS IN THE BUS TERMINAL.
BECAUSE GOD WAS USING US THE DEVIL THOUGHT HE WOULD TRY AND STOP US BY ATTACKING AT HOME AND AT THE CHURCH BUT I THANK GOD THAT WE COULD PRESS ON AND GOD DOES ANSWER PRAYER, THAT IS WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO PRAY AND FAST LIKE WE HAD PLANNED.
UNITY: GOD LEAD US TO HOLD A FOOT WASHING, THIS BRINGS UNITY OR IT SEPERATES THE MEN FROM THE BOYS.
MIRACLE: HOW THE CUSTOM OFFICIALS DID NOT SEE YVONNE AND MYSELF AT THE NORTHGATE AS WE DISTRIBUTED, EVERYONE ELSE WAS CHASED AWAY FROM THE ENTERANCE TO AVOID A TRAFFIC JAM, BUT THE POLICEMAN COULD NOT SEE US. PRAISE GOD --- THAT DAY WE HANDED OUT 104 PACKETS IN 3 HOURS.
REMEMBER: WHEN THEY WANTED TO THROUGH JESUS OFF THE MOUNTAIN, HE JUST WALKED RIGHT THROUGH THEM. AMEN. I WAS REMINDED OF THE STORY OF BROTHER ANDREW TAKING BIBLES INTO COMMUNIST RUSSIA, WHEN THEY SEARCHED HIS CAR THEY COULD NOT SEE THE BIBLES IN THE BOOT OF THE CAR, GOD BLINDED THE EYES OF THE POLICE.
PRAYER IS VERY NECESSARY:- THE LORD SHOWED US WITCHES AND SATANIST PRAYING OVER THE CITY OF ALMERIA, BUT WE AS CHRISTIANS MUST COME AGAIST THAT AND BREAK THAT STRONGHOLD IN THE NAME OF JESUS AND COVER EACH OTHER IN THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST.
READING: 2 Chr 7:14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. (NIV)
OTHER THINGS SEEN:- - SEEING IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM - ON SOME PEOPLE I HAVE SEEN DEMONS SITTING ON THEIR HEAD AND SHOULDERS WITH ITS HANDS OVER THEIR EYES AND EARS, SO THAT THEY WILL NOT SEE AND HEAR THE TRUTH, BECAUSE IT IS THE TRUTH THAT WILL SET THEM FREE IN JESUS NAME, I HAVE SEEN DEMOMS IN PEOPLES EYES AS YOU WALK PAST THE DEMOM KEEPS ON LOOKING AT YOU. I HAVE SEEN DEMONS REACTING VIOLENTLY AS WE HAVE COME CLOSER TO THE PERSON.
AMERICAN MISSION - DALLAS
I WAS SEARCHED AND AT TIMES HUMILIATED, BUT WE WILL HAVE TO ENDURE MANY THINGS FOR THE SAKE OF THE GOSPEL TO BE SPREAD, THE LORD GAVE ME GRACE. I WAS PICKED UP FROM DALLAS FORT WORTH AND THE NEXT DAY I WOKE UP I DID NOT KNOW WHERE I WAS BECAUSE OF JET LAG - I OPENED THE BLIND CAUSIOSLY AND I REALISED I WAS IN AMERICA. - BEWILDED AND SHOCKED TO FIND THAT NO BOOKINGS FOR SERVICES HAD BE MADE AS PLANNED- NOTHING , I FACED TERRIBLE NEGATIVE FROM ALL SIDES. BUT GOD TURNED IT AROUND, HE GAVE ME:
READING: HAB 3:17-19 17 Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, 18 yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. 19 The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments. (NIV) READING: 2 Chr 15:7 But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded." (NIV)
QUOTE: " OBSTACLES ARE WHAT WE SEE WHEN WE TAKE OUR EYES OFF JESUS CHRIST OUR GOAL"
AMERICA WAS A TIME FOR GOD TO REALLY AND TRUELY SPEAK TO ME, HE OPENED MY EYES TO MANY THINGS, THANK YOU LORD.
MIRACLE: VISISTED SOUTHFOLK WHERE DALLAS WAS MADE- AS WE WERE LEAVING SOUTHFOLK THAT IS WHEN A MIRACLE OCCURED, GOD LEAD US TO A PIECE OF LAND WHERE A HUGE CHURCH IS BEING BUILT AND I WAS ABLE TO MINISTER TO THE PASTOR WHO HAD A NEED, AND GOD OPENED THE DOOR FOR THEM TO INVITE ME TO PREACH ON SUNDAY MORNING I SAW PEOPLE GIVE THERE HEARTS TO THE LORD AND COME UP FOR PRAYER AND NEEDS WERE MET, THIS HAS OPENED UP DOORS FOR ME TO BE USED OF GOD.
MIRACLE- I WAS ASKED TO PRAY FOR A DEAR LADY WHO HAD BE TESTED AND THEY HAD FOUND A CYST THE SIZE OF MY THUMB, I PRAYED THE PRAYER OF FAITH AND 1 WEEK LATER THEY DID ANOTHER TEST AND IT WAS GONE.
I STILL NEEDED MORE PREACHING OPENINGS, I HAD PHONED AND SPOKEN VISISTED ETC " WHEN WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, GOD IS WORKING ON OUR BEHALF" A PASTOR WHO I HAD NEVER MET BEFORE TELEPHONE AND BOOKED ME FOR A 2 DAY YOUTH REVIVAL CONFERENCE IN CARROLTON TEXAS - I WILL TELL LATER OF WHAT THE LORD DID.
- GOD STARTED OPENING DOORS FOR ME TO PREACH, NEXT I FOUND MYSELF IN ARLINGTON TEXAS, 4 GOT SAVED AND THE HEALING LINE WAS MORE THAN 20- GOD RESTORED A FAMILY WHERE THERE WAS CHILD ABUSE AND MARRIGE BREAK UP, I SAW MARRIAGES RESTORED, I SAW A HUGE TEXAN SWEEPING ON MY SHOULDER AS GOD MOVE AND BROKE DOWN THE WALLS THAT MAN-MADE RELIGION HAVE PUT UP- GOD IS POWERFUL, HE IS A GOD THAT HEALS AND DELIVERS AND SETS FREE.
BUT
THE DEVIL WAS MAD AND HE HAS HIS PEOPLE POSTED IN EVERY CHURCH, HE SENT A WELL RESPECTED MAN IN THE CHURCH TO COME AND CRITISE AND ATTACK ME, SO HATEFULLY AND FOWL - I REBUKED THAT DEMON AND KEPT ON MOVING. THE OTHER CONGREGATION SAW WHAT HAPPENED AND CAME AND THANKED ME AFTERWARDS FOR DEALING WITH THAT PROBLEM LIKE THAT, AS THEY DID NOT HAVE THE NERVE TO PUT THAT CRITICAL SPIRIT ON ITS PLACE.
- IT HAPPENED ON ONE SUNDAY SERVICE WHERE I ARRIVED AT THE CHURCH WHERE I WAS TO PREACH AND THE PASTOR JUST SAID SORRY YOU CAN'T PREACH TODAY, AND WITHIN AN HOUR GOD OPENED UP ANOTHER DOOR FOR ME TO MINISTER AND HE GAVE ME A SECOND SERVICE JUST TO SHOW ME THAT HE IS GOD AND THAT HE IS IN CONTROL OF MY LIFE.
- AT THE YOUTH REVIVAL - 11 SOULS REDEDICATED THEIR LIVES TO THE LORD ON THE FIRST NIGHT & 10 BAPTISED IN THE HOLY GHOST. I STAYED WITH SOME WONDERFUL FRIENDS THAT NIGHT, THE NEXT DAY I SPENT THE DAY AT THE YOUTH AND FAMILY PICNIC JUST MINISTERING AS THE LORD LEAD ME TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND NEEDS.
THAT NIGHT I WAS ALL PREPARED AND READY AND 1 HOUR BEFORE GOD CHANGED THE SERMON TO HOLINESS AND DESIRING THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT - THE EVIDENCE. WELL I LOST COUNT AFTER 85 REDEDICATED THEIR LIVES TO THE LORD AND THEN THE WHOLE CHURCH CAME FORWARD FOR PRAYER, I ONLY FINISHED THE SERVICE 10:30 THAT NIGHT
THE NEXT MORNING I PREACHED AT A VERY SMALL CHURCH IN BALCH SPRINGS
THE LORD HAS OPENED UP DOORS FOR ME TO RETURN TO THE USA, LATER NEXT YEAR, WHERE I WILL BE ABLE TO BRING MY FAMILY WITH.
AMERSTERDAM: I HAVE ALWAYS ASKED THE LORD WHY I HAD TO GO THROUGH AMERSTERDAM, RIGHT AT THE END OF THE WAIT, 10 MINUTES BEFORE BOARDING I MET A LADY AND HER FRIEND TRAVELLING TO SOUTH AFRICA FOR A WOMANS CONFERENCE, THEY COME FROM TEXAS AND SHE IS A AUTHOR OF 9 BOOKS VERY FAMOUS AUTHOR SO CALLED CHRISTIAN AUTHOR, WELL WE GOT TALKING AND IT APPEARED THAT WE BELIEVED THE SAME THINGS UNTIL SHE SHOWED ME 3 OF HER BOOKS AND AS I PAGE THROUGH I REALISED THAT SHE WAS IN ERROR AND THAT SHE WAS MISLEADING THE BODY OF CHRIST, SHE SPEAKS AGAIST THE RAPTURE AND THE HOLY SPIRIT ETC, " SHE SAYS IN HER BOOK THAT SHE BELIEVES ALL THAT THE SHEPHERDS AND PASTOR ARE TEACHING IS NOT RIGHT AND THAT GOD HAS GIVEN HER A NEW REVELATION TO TAKE TO THE CONGREGATIONS AS SHE BELIEVES SHE HAS BEEN CHOSEN" MY FRIEND THERE IS ONLY ONE REVELATION AND THAT IS THE LAST BOOK OF THE BIBLE. THE BIBLE SAYS BEWARE OF THOSE THAT WILL TRY AND DECEIVE. TWISTING THE WORD TO SUIT THEMSELVES AND BELIEF IN NEW AGE MOVEMENT. PEOPLE NEED TO READ THE BIBLE IN CONTEXT AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE. BEWARE WHAT SO CALLED CHRISTIAN LITURATURE YOU READ, ALWAYS CHECK UP EVERY THING THAT IT LINES UP WITH GODS WORD, DONT BE DECEIVED. WELL I TOLD HER THE TRUTH AND SHE WAS SO MAD AT ME SHE GOT UP AND IN FRONT OF EVERY BODY STARTED WAVING HER HANDS AT ME AND YELLING AT ME AND TELLING ME SHE WAS RIGHT AND THAT I WAS WRONG, WELL THE OLD DEVIL EXPOSED HIMSELF ONCE AGAIN, I JUST PRAYED THAT SHE WOULD BE STOPPED BY THE POWER OF GOD.
IT TOOK ME 52 HOURS TO GET BACK TO DURBAN SOUTH AFRICA FROM DALLAS
WHEN I GOT HOME I FOUND THAT THE LORD HAD ANSWERED PRAY AS HE HEALED MY SON ISAAC FROM THE BURN ON HIS HAND AND ARM, GOD IS VERY GOOD.
I PRAY THAT THIS TESTIMONEY OF THE MISSIONS TO SPAIN AND THE USA HAS ENCOURAGED YOU AND I HOPE TO KEEP IN CONTACT IN THE NEAR FUTURE, MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS AND KEEP YOU.
" NEW " Report Back : Miracle Tent Crusade : Date 3 - 5 August 2001 at
The Tent Crusade went very well and we thank the Lord that we He had his perfect will and way in the crusade. Jacques Lowis Ministries and Woodlands Full Gospel Church of God worked closely to put this crusade together, there was much opposition from locals residents to a huge 1000 seater tent being erected on the central park fields, but praise God we could go ahead. Over 10000 pamphlets were distributed and large banners were erected at strategic places, God opened doors and electricity was donated by 2 local residence, God sent a electician on the day the tent went up to install all the lights and power. God made a way for every cost to be covered and the Crusade was fully paid for when we were finished.
Bread and soup were given every day to the poor and needy and we thank God for providing these items through donations from local businesses and gifts.
The music and Praise and Worship was done by Reeborn the Woodlands Full Gospel Music Praise and Worship team lead by Bro Gavin Robertson, we really saw the Power of God and the Anointing fall and move during Praise and Worship.
Pastor Hylton Lowis and Pastor Jacques Lowis were the main speakers at the tent, all the sermons were in line with what God is doing in the area of Woodlands, we saw broken families being healed, we saw marriages restored, we saw people being healed and set free, but most of all we saw 98 soul over the 3 days be saved and set free from the bondages of satan.. Over the period of the crusade we had a Childrens ministry operating and 36 souls were saved through the childrens Ministries, we held a leadership seminar on the Saturday and over 45 people attended, the seminar was done in conjuction with Pastor Krish Ramsamy. The average attendance at the tent meetings was 500 to 600 per service., we saw God meet every need.
Prayer and Spiritual Warfare were main priorities before and during the services and we saw the power of prayer. Prayer walks were organised 3 month before the crusade held on every first Saturday of every month, you really see God move when there is a blanket of prayer over the area.
Pastor Jacques Lowis held Spiritual Growth Classes with all the new Christian that had given their hearts and lives to the Lord over the crusade over the next two weeks, following the crusade, this was very benifical to the local Woodlands Full Gospel Church. Trained EE3 teams and follow up teams were used to follow up and encourage the new converts.
We plan on organising more tent crusades early next year, dated will be posted on the website.
" NEW " Report Back : Feeding Schemes
God has been good we have been able to help 25 needy families, these we assist every week with food. Over 4 months we have feed off and on nearly 800 people be it with soup, bread or a warm meal etc.
God has help us provide soup and food items every week from the Woodlands Full Gospel Hall. Over the last 4 months we have given away nearly 1.5 tons of potatoes to needy families and to Thornhill Old Age Home, God has helped us to provide between 250 and 300 loaves of bread every week, which gets distributed.
God has opened up door with some local businesses and business men to supply us with items that help us feed the poor and needy, they supply : rice, maize meal, milk, potatoes, bread every day we Trust the Lord to Supply all our needs he has never let us down.
Just recently we assisted one family to pay their bond on their house, Jacques Lowis Ministries was able provide assistance with budgeting and counsel on Tithing and Praise God this family is coming out with the help of the Lord.

We prayed for a lady who had cancer of the glands and we believe she was healed.
We had a great testimony from one of the team Prisilla Viljoen, just a few days before we left on the mission, she received news that she had a tumor on the brain and that she only had 7 months to live, we prayed and believed God to touch and heal her by the Stripes of Jesus, we cursed that tumor and praise God it died, a few days later the doctors did the same battery of test and they could not find the tumor, she was completely healed
We saw lives being changed, God is so good.
Next mission will be to Mozambique God willing.
