Reaping the Harvest
From East Asia Update

“I have served in my city three years now. I have three different churches that I work with right now. Altogether in three years, they’ve started almost 90 churches. We've baptized over 1,000.”

***

“We baptized 21 that day. There had been a drought and there was no place to baptize. And they went and they found a big clay pot, sort of like you put on a big patio with the fake trees growing in there. And we warmed up the water. And people would stand in the pot and squat down completely with their knees up to their chest and put their head down, and we’d baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.”

***

“I dreamed I would start 12 house churches (with) 776 new believers. I said this is the biggest dream I have. God exceeded that. Last year by the grace of God, (our team had) 115 new house churches and 3,452 new believers. And this year we expect it to multiply. Now my dream is to plant 1,000 new house churches and lead 10,000 to the Lord. And I believe the Lord is going to exceed that.”
