The ministry was a miraculous occurrence as our team preached 18 sessions at three venues in two days. It was a powerful time as our team poured into these pastors who were readily receiving the Christ-centered message. They were very hungry for the message. These pastors had felt very discouraged because of restrictions and a lack of funds. They went home greatly encouraged with the Gospel, with the Christ-centeredness of the message.

FEBRUARY

A team of four went into the cities of Orizaba and Mexico City. They ministered at a Family Conference held at the city’s theater in Orizaba, then ministered at a 3-day conference for pastors, leaders, and others in a church in the city. Pastors came from as far as 10 hours away from other states in Mexico, including Oaxaca, Cerro Azul, and Naranjo. The last portion of the trip saw a glorious time of ministry in Mexico City as we spoke with pastors and congregants alike, and this time of ministry included a Women’s Conference. The Lord moved powerfully, and we are looking forward to all we will do there in the months and years to come.

DECEMBER

A five-person team, representing the United States and Poland, went into Islamabad, Karachi, and Lahore. This team was joined by other pastors of the nation as they ministered in these cities. This was a great time of ministry with pastors and leaders committing to preaching a Christ-centered message and others rededicating their lives to Jesus. At one of the tent-meetings, people came in great numbers to the Lord after hearing the Christ-centered message. We are making plans to return in the coming months with the possibility of going into another city.

SEPTEMBER/October

This trip included a two-person team with very effective ministry. It was our second time in Indonesia, and we were able to go into four different locations, Bali, Bandung, Medan, and Binjai. At each place of ministry, we were able to minister and open the time to the leaders and pastors for discussion and answering of questions.

As a part of this trip, we were also able to take some time to build relationship with a couple in Singapore to build the ministry of TFI.

One powerful testimony was the outworking on one pastor who brought the Christ-centered message with great authority and understanding. The messages were broadcast live online for all those who were not able to attend. We are seeing great growth in leadership and in apprehension of the message of Jesus Christ.

Relations were cultivated, and communications were established with the many pastors and leaders present.

Pastors and leaders responded with great joy and excitement at hearing Christ-centered messages that were brought with simplicity and clarity. Conferences consisted of presenting what it meant to preach a Christ-centered message, the impact it could have, and then demonstrating a Christ-centered message. Ministry was powerful and full, and plans were made for our return.

Pastors and leaders from all these areas were trained and encouraged in this message while we heard testimonies from those who had heard us in 2015. They spoke of how this message had changed their lives and their ministries. People spoke of never being the same again. It was a powerful time of ministry.

A team of three went into two countries in South Asia through a connection into these nations. It was here that we ministered to pastors and leaders from areas that have seen oppression and persecution. In one area, there was a large contingent of young Christians (15-30 years old), and they were on fire for the Lord. We heard of their need for the Christ-centered message in a country whose population is more than 88% Muslim but where there was a thriving Christian community hungry for the Word of God. We took this message to them and there was a great reception of the message.

The symposium was full of so many voices from different nations all speaking a Christ-centered message. We had people representing the Philippines, Croatia, Austria, India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Kenya, Poland, Hungary, and so many more. We heard from women and men alike who are in ministry and have laid hold of a Christ-centered message.
