God gives life to the dead



Ezekiel was brought in the spirit to a valley of dry bones. The LORD told him to prophesy life over the dead bones (the house of Israel). As he prophesied the valley of dry bones came to life! 

Abraham also had a valley of dry bones in his own life, he received a promise to be heir of the world (Rm 4:13), yet he had no son, his body was as good as dead, being almost a hundred years old, and Sarah, his wife's womb was also as good as dead (Rm. 4:19).

Yet, God brought what was dead to LIFE and gave Abraham and Sarah a son in their old age. 

These promises are not just for Abraham and Ezekiel, but for us too!  Therefore, the promise comes by FAITH, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—...to those who have the faith of Abraham. (Rm 4:16)

Perhaps there are areas of your life, ministry, work, family that seem dead like these dry bones. Believe God for the promises of His Word, the promises that He is giving you over every dead thing in your life.

God gives life to the dead and calls into being things that are not. (Rm. 4:17)

Receive this in FAITH as an offspring of Abraham. Receive it for your loved ones you are praying for, believe it for your dreams, and for revival in your home, heart and country. 

Prophesy and declare, "O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live. 6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the Lord.” (Ez. 37:4-6)

Instantly in the spirit Ezekiel heard a rattling and a loud wind and the bones came together and sinew came upon the bones and they came to life-an exceedingly great army.

 Yet, Ezekiel may not have seen much happen in the physical as he was with the remnant captive in Babylon, it was and is in slow progress. 

 Though you may not see instant change in your life, be certain that you have received for We walk by FAITH and not by sight.

Church Plant from our church



Hear from Michael about our recent worship training this past month in a district 6 hours from here.
"Our original plan was to go to Ramechhap with Holly and the kids but I was warned by a church member that the roads and village conditions
would be difficult for the babies.  I taught for 2 days from 9am-4pm. It was encouraging to see the excitement of the worship teams eagerness to learn. 
We ministered among Mahji community who are marginalized group. None of them had ever written a song, So it was great experience to walk with them 
in this process of song writing. They were able to write songs and sing in their own tribal tunes.I  believe this training inspired and trained them in their skill 
and spirit to be more devoted to God and to their local church.

Hear some of the testimonies:

"My understanding of worship was limited to singing in the church service. Today I learned that my whole life an response to the greatness of God." 
- Senior pastor

 As I was teaching, I saw a young girl is painful situation and later we prayed for her because the demon inside her was causing all physical pain. 
The next day God put a new song in her mouth.

 Pray

  • Michael is recording some new songs. Pray that it touches the church and youth of Nepal. 
  • Safe travels to Chitwan. 
  • Pray that our guest house will have business. Dwelling Place Guest House
  • Effective training in Chitwan.
  • Continued support for 6 children's homes.

Rudra, our new brother in Christ! It was my first time to Africa.   I was excited to see what God had for us. Before our journey began, we met a Nepali man --> at the airport who was going to Qatar for work.  He looked very normal and gentle-spirited. We began to talk. He was very surprised and happy to find out that my wife was a foreigner. Our conversation went deep and we opened our hearts and thoughts about faith. I shared God’s love and after nearly 45 minutes I asked him, if he’d like to invite Jesus into his life. And he said YES! The story doesn't stop here.   God was taking us on a journey to release His presence and share His goodness in different places from the… Border of Uganda and Congo… Worship before evangelism Praying with this Muslim lady to accept Jesus. Passionate evangelist who interpreted for us as we did door-to-door evangelism. Blessed by this pastor! Surrounded by banana trees and smiling children we gath...
