MINISTRY in GERMANY

LIGHTHOUSE CHURCH


Late Afternoon 20th I boarded the flight to Frankfurt: 15.5 hours. Long. Overnight. Slept lots.
Arrived in Frankfurt 5:30 AM, cleared immigration and customs in a quite confusing airport, met Gisela, and finally we found our way through the confusing airport to the car. After a two hour drive to Frickenhausen, a short distance south of Stuttgart we arrived in time to preach at 10 AM service at Gisela's Lighthouse church. Then we had lunch, and later dinner with Gisela's family and church members. Lots of delicious German sausage!

Our Healing Service Monday evening at Lighthouse had a small group, but lots of enthusiasm, especially when they started getting healed! Below is from Gisela's note in the World Missions For Jesus newsletter:

Our friend Hugh Kaiser is in Germany for 10 days to help me. I called a miracle service for Monday night. I asked anyone who wants a miracle or wants to see one to come. People came to the service. During the sermon my aunt misunderstood me and ran to the front, because she did not want to miss her miracle. She had very bad pain in her legs due to artery blockage. Hugh kept her in the front and went on preaching. After a little while he turned to her and asks her where her pain was – it was totally gone and is still gone today! Thank God!

One man got healed from very bad nonstop pain from arthritis in his legs – he was shocked, that after so long for the first time there was no more pain. A few more ladies got healed too and testified about their healing. Not only did bodily pain get healed, but some broken hearts’ got healed too, because we have a father, who knows us and loves us.

What miracle do you need? Go and get it from your heavenly father, HE loves you so much!



Tues 22, Weather is cold and rainy, anyway, we need to stay in to prepare for the men's meetng on Friday night, and the all-day Sweetheart Day for couples. We have to prepare the material for 8 hours of presentation, Gisela has to translate into German, and I have to finalize the PowerPoint presentations.

Friday
Frantic finishing preparations for Men's evening meeting, tomorrow's couples. Some we can't finish and I do on the easel as I learned 30 years ago! Men's meeting we had 16 and a fun and rewarding time.


Saturday couples - draining! but very rewarding! Seven couples. Seven is the 'perfect' number in the Bible, and four of our five FLO retreats in Indonesia have had seven couples, so it was quite comfortable for me! One of the husbands made the decision to invite Jesus to be his Lord and Savior for the first time in his life. He had been at the men's meeting the night before and greatly touched.

Sunday morning I preached at the Lighthouse in the morning, afternoon with her brother and family visited Lichtenstein Castle not too far away, then to an afternoon service in a church that invited me for a healing service after hearing about the Monday evening service at the Lighthouse. This was a fantastic service, about twenty minutes of praise and worship, then I was introduced. I just read the scripture from Luke 8:41 to the end, which is two stories, Jairus asking Jesus to come heal his daughter, interrupted by the woman who crept up and touched his hem. Then I started calling people forward, and for four more hours we had a Holy Spirit party, people getting healed of emotional and physical ailments, Messages of scripture and encouragement for individuals, parents blessing their children, and so on. Nearly a five hour service, one of my longest. it was just getting dark as we left. Sun is still up at 10 here!
