MISSION REPORT
OCT & NOV 2000

By Harold Hildebrandt

 

 

I have just returned from an overseas trip where I visited three European countries - Holland, Latvia and Lithuania.

The Holland meetings were their annual convention.  They took place from October 27th to 29th inclusive and were organized by Brother Klaas de Jong and the church that he fellowships with.  There were quite a number of countries represented at the convention including: Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Norway, England and others.   The Lord gave us a great time around the revealed Word of The Hour.     There was also a ministers meeting one afternoon with approximately 15 ministers in attendance.

On October 30th I flew to Lithuania to be with Brother Stephenanko, who is the pastor of the church in Vilnius.  I was very impressed with the work that is going on in Lithuania and Latvia.  I was able to meet with the three young men who are translating the message into the Russian language.  They are Brother Dima, Brother Anton, and Brother Vitaly.  They are from 19 to 22 years old.  They have dedicated their lives to the translating and proof-reading of this message.

I also witnessed one of the young brothers, Brother Vitaly, in a tape service reading a message which had already been translated into Russian while Brother Branham was speaking.  He was reading and speaking the Russian text, which went onto an audio tape.  Many hundreds of people will hear that tape all around the former Soviet Union.  They will be hearing both Brother Branham in English and Brother Vitaly interpreting into Russian.

I believe they are doing a tremendous work ~ fulfilling what Jesus said in Matthew 24:14..."And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."

Brother Vitaly accompanied Brother Stephenanko and myself to Latvia where we visited two churches.  We had five services altogether in Latvia.

We returned to Lithuania on Friday, November 3, 2000 to start a weekend of meetings in Vilnius.  The Lord gave us a tremendous time in His Presence around the Word of God.  We had five services in total with the Believers in Vilnius.

There were a number of charismatic believers who came to the service (the leaders of the group).  It was their first time in a message church.  Please pray for them as I believe God is doing something in their lives.

The three churches that I visited in Lithuania and Latvia are doing a tremendous work for the Lord.  Their efforts are reaching into many countries of the former Soviet Union.  I believe that their efforts are worthy of our financial support.

If anyone is interested in helping them you can get more information from Brother Lonnie Jenkins of Lima, Ohio.  His email is lonnie@wcoil.com or bcfellowship@sprintmail.com. Brother Lonnie Jenkins is one of the brothers that knows the situation there and has worked extensively with them in Lithuania.

May God bless you,
Your Brother in His Service
