Greetings beloved in Jesus. I have so many things to praise the Lord for, including writing and visiting with you this morning. Here in Oklahoma the spring showers are making an entrance. My plum tree was loaded with blossoms. I asked the Lord to not let the wind blow them all away so that I can have a nice crop.

     I have planted starter seeds for my garden. My husband asked why am I doing that? Because we hadn’t had the time for the last two years to maintain a garden. I said, I need a garden.

     I preached at a local church last month and truly felt an anointing as I ministered. My husband recorded the message which you can find on our website, click the tab that says video and more.

     Since it was my first time at this church, I took a little extra time introducing our ministry and how it was founded. The pastor told me of all his years in ministry and pastoring, he hasn’t met another mission work as great as Full Gospel Native Missionary. The pastor then followed me the next week to one of the nursing homes to hear me preach again.

     Last Sunday I led their praise and worship because they have a real need for that, but we are waiting for God’s leading for future involvement.

     Easter came at an unusual time this year. As I am writing, I am about to have a special Easter Service with those children and family in Vian. They are the same children I had churches services for last year. I’ve been in prayer for this service for a month. I believe God is going to do something special for this particular service.

     The oldest of the little boys recently had a birthday and his momma asked him about having his birthday party. He asked, when is Honey coming down? and she said on Easter. He then replied, “we’ll wait for my birthday until she gets here.” He turned 9.

      David and I also have an addition to our family. Our 5th grandbaby was born 3-13-24. His name is Lee Paxton Kirkpatrick. Our daughter and her husband, Shawnee and Jack in North Carolina are his parents. He is healthy and they are all doing well. Hopefully we will be able to go and pick him up and hold him soon. I can’t wait to feel his tiny breath and rub his little nose.

     When I pick up a baby and cradle him, the world around fades and everything can wait. However, long before this grandbaby was born, I had prayed him into the kingdom of God. How exciting it will be when this little boy is old enough to express his love for the Lord himself.

     It comes to mind often of those 15 children in our orphanage in India who, for the first time, publicly declared their love and faith in Jesus Christ; while we were there last October.  Our orphanage is a great blessing.

     I am so grateful for those who help support to keep our orphanage going. The children have all received new school clothes and are taking their final exams. Thank you so much for helping with their clothes. Once a child enters our home, the community no longer sees a poor orphan.

     Children of our home is considered special because they are well cared for. They are not rich or fancy; but they always have plenty of food, nice clothes, their medical needs are met, go to school prepared and equipped and are taught about Jesus.

     I asked Blessy (Spurgeon’s 17 yr old daughter who speaks very good English) do any of the children ever want to leave? Do they ever cry to return to family. She said, no, not usually. But, one boy is lying in bed now crying for his momma, but that is because he is sick with a fever. I went to his room, sat on his bed and laid hands on him and prayed for his healing. Soon I saw that little boy outside playing with the other children grinning from ear to ear.

     I often saw this young boy (here) get on the scooter and shoot out the gate. He came and left several times while we were staying in the orphanage. I asked what was his story.

     He has lived in the orphanage for a few years. He likes to run errands and be helpful. He will jump to do whatever he is asked. He gets on the moped and rides down the road after supplies or errands and quickly returns.

     He acts like big brother to the other boys. He has a little over a year before he will be too old to stay in our home. He is not wanting to leave, but if he goes to college, he might be able to stay on as a worker until he graduates. Over 90% of our orphan children go to college after graduating high school.

     I have sent half the money for the repairs needed for the church in India. I will have the other half to send in a couple weeks and that church will be up to par. I thank God for those who are helping us with church repairs and construction. Pastor Israel in India is so grateful for help with his church. This is the church that was built in a location of persecution.

     The pastor’s son had been beaten 3 different times for preaching the gospel and they have received numerous threats but our ministers refuse to stop doing the work of the Lord and lifting the name of Jesus.

     Pastor Spurgeon in India has held a recent crusade that was powerful. They followed with water baptism when the meetings were complete. Spurgeon has a church a few miles away from the orphanage and they have regular services. The orphanage also has church services Sunday morning and the orphanage is filled with people for that service. And the children have devotions every morning and evening.

     Our ministers continue serving the Lord knowing we keep them covered in prayer. I so much appreciate your prayers joined with mine for our pastors. They face many hardships living a Christian life in a place filled with open idolatry. Many of the people are so hard core of their religion, they attack our ministers for preaching Jesus.

     When the Lord shows me something in the Spirit, I have started to tell David right away. The Lord has been showing me things and soon after they happen. So, I tell David and when they happen, he can see for himself that God is showing us beforehand what is coming.

     One of the things the Lord showed me is preaching in different churches as well as pastoring a small church. He has been showing me to get prepared, and to let people know to get prepared. Hardship in the spirit is coming.

      That means for those like you and I who fully depend upon the Lord will be targeted by the enemy in the spirit to bring chaos and trouble. I keep us, the ministry, our home and you covered by the blood of Jesus. He is greater than what is in the world, but because the Lord is showing me, I must tell you. Because of the blood of Jesus, we will not be overtaken.

     Our pastors need our prayers. They are reaching into a world of darkness rescuing souls for Jesus. They need prayer. I spend much time in prayer and I take your needs before the Lord sincerely.

     In the meanwhile, souls are getting saved, baptisms, healings and new Christians are growing in their faith through the work of our ministers. Our orphan children are loved and their needs are being met. The hungry people in the surrounding areas of our ministers know food is coming because we feed the hungry and the lepers.

     Our sewing clinic is freely training women how to be tailors offering them a source of income. For many it helps their families, for so many others, they are given an honorable profession and has spared many from prostitution. Elim Bible School in India is doing well and in demand. Thank you for helping to train men and women of God to be His ministers.

     Joel sends his greetings from the Philippines along with Romeo. Blanca and her two sons say “hola” from Mexico. She and her sons along with a couple of helpers from church continue to hit the streets and knock on doors sharing Jesus. The Lord has anointed Blanca in evangelism and many people accept Jesus Christ for the first time as well as those who rededicate.

     Thank you again for letting me visit through letter. I appreciate you for standing with me and the work of the Lord to reach the mission field for Christ. Your friendship, prayers and your support are a great blessing. Thank you and God bless you.

                                                                                     With love in Jesus,

​
