What an amazing first night it was! I greet you from the bush, in a remote part of a country I’m not able to name. It’s 2:30 am here, but as I write this, I am thanking the Lord for all He has done!

Watch my video straight from Asia here.

I’m happy to report that after a battle with sickness, this is the best I’ve felt all week, and I’ve received word from home that our families are healed as well! Thank you for praying! There is such power in prayer!

We finished the second day of the Pastors’ Conference and were able to bless each of the pastors with Bibles, song books for their churches, and financially as well! This was all because of your investments and our partnership with our host crusade director! Thank you for blessing these pastors and for blessing all who will be planting the new churches this week!

Thousands of people gathered to hear the Gospel this evening on the first night of the crusade! Joshua Smith greeted the people, and I then went on to preach the Gospel message. While I didn’t have as much time as we had planned on due to a few challenges, I preached, efficiently painting a clear message of what our Savior has done for us, giving the best news of all…the Gospel!

When I gave the call for salvation, I was actually a bit surprised. I’ve preached a handful of times in this country, and I’ve found it to be less responsive than many of the other countries I’ve ministered in. Many friends, who also minister here, have reported the same thing.

It’s important to remember that in this area that a decision to follow Jesus can result in death, imprisonment, public beatings, being kicked out of the family, or losing birth rights in the family business, amongst several other things. So, these things contribute to the decision to follow Jesus for each and every person.

When I asked the people who wanted to follow Jesus to stand up and to wave their hands, 90% of the people made the decision to follow Jesus! Hallelujah! I’ve typically found this country to have a 10%-20% response rate. We are rejoicing tonight with the angels in heaven!

We then prayed for the sick and heard of wonderful healings as well:

• A teenage boy, who was blind in one eye, accepted Jesus as Savior and received his sight!

• A woman, with a shoulder issue, was able to lift her arm above her head after having been unable to do this for a month!

• A man, with a knee injury, was seen by a doctor more than 5 years ago and was advised to have double knee replacement surgery. He couldn’t afford the surgery, and so he lived with the pain. He was unable to bend his knees and could barely walk. Tonight, the power of God touched him, and he gave his life to Jesus! I prayed for him, and he was still in pain. So, I prayed a second time. The second time I prayed, he then received healing in his knees after he felt a fire go through his legs. He was completely healed and was bending his knees and doing squats! Hallelujah!

• A woman, with pain in her shoulder to her feet on the right side, was completely healed.

• Another woman gave her life to Jesus and was then healed of a shoulder injury, which she had for a few months. She was then baptized in the Holy Spirit and was noticeably shaken by the power of God! That’s one amazing night for a woman of a completely different religion just minutes before!

• And so much more!

I honor you from South Asia and can’t thank you enough for praying! Please do not stop. We need your prayers. There have been several threats surrounding the crusade, but through God’s grace, we’ve been able to go through this first evening with no issues. Praise the Lord!

We will be planting our first of the 50 churches tomorrow. We’ve received 43 of the churches completely sponsored!

We still have a need of $6,232. One thousand dollars will sponsor one of these churches in full. If the Lord moves your heart to help us fulfill our investments and commitments to the community here, then you may give here.

Thank you for sowing into the harvest! Thank you for covering us in intercession!

Until He comes,

Caleb Wampler

Together with Joshua Smith and the KEI team
