2004--a quick summary of this
closing year
Praise God! Another year has come and gone. There was lots of war in 2004. The Lord has put us through many testings and trials; not to destroy our faith, but to strengthen it. And we all here at ACMTC Headquarters can testify that without strong faith and fortitude, given the times in which we live, many will fall at the hands of the enemy. We have seen several do just that over the years, but we have seen this falling away give us a determination to fight harder for the way of the cross, the way of the Lord.
Despite the prevailing conditions of fear and terrorism in the world, we have seen by our God's mercy and grace, the emergence of many new distribution points as well as camps. Since the early 1980's when we got underway with missions, we have seen ACMTC's Expeditionary Forces penetrate into the darkness of over 130 nations of this world. God has made the way for the missionaries who have gone with the message through the literature, cassette tapes, and videos, as they have forged onward as soldiers of truth, bringing the light into strongholds of darkness. This year has been a year when we have seen many try to curse us, yet our God has made the way for us to be blessed as many have come into the light of the truth given by our Master.
Back in the late nineties, a small staff of ACMTC took a missionary trip through Europe at which time we visited the war-torn country of Croatia. Since those days we have prayed for that country a lot and now this past year a new beginning of ACMTC is being shown forth in that Roman Catholic stronghold. Missionary soldiers from an African nation have gone there and began proclaiming the truth and they are eager to see the development of the message in that fragmented nation. This is another proof of the prophetic Word given many years ago when God said that as we gave the Africans the truth that they would become missionaries to many nations of the world, going forth declaring the way, the truth, and the light. Throughout Europe, we are seeing this same pattern emerge. African brothers and sisters--true soldiers of the cross--are going forth proclaiming the Aggressive Message with vigour and fortitude, determined to bring the fire of God once again to the European continent. Also there are great evangelistic efforts that are emerging through many of the nations of Africa as many, having been strengthened by the truth, are accepting the challenge and forging forward in the battle, standing strong for the Lord and challenging the powers of darkness with the power of His light. We have seen new openings coming as a consequence of the literature being faithfully distributed by these pioneer laborers throughout Africa and Europe. Additionally we have seen great interest in the nations of The Gambia and Gabon, Africa, as the literature has touched the hearts of those who are hungry for the Aggressive Message. So many are crying out for reality in Christ that they quickly absorb the literature and are hungry for more. Our prayer is that God would enable us to meet every request which comes in and see that all who are hungry for His Word would receive as He is able to supply! This year we also saw hungry souls in Portugal receive the message through the medium of the written Word, distributed freely to all who request the same.
Although the world is in turmoil and the threat and reality of Islamic terrorism is growing daily, and even some have died from our own ranks at the hands of terrorists, we know that the truth is marching on and that the power of the truth shall continue to increase as we look to our God, knowing that He is able to use even the blood of the martyrs for the furtherance of His glorious Kingdom. So we are thankful that even when we experience the loss of those who are so gloriously His that their lives are given as gain for the International Body of Christ and that we all benefit when these faithful ones die fighting for the souls of men.
Because we believe in the evangelization of the whole world, ACMTC soldiers go forth evangelizing the church Christians and pagans alike to bring them into action for the cause of Christ. We have seen many church Christians this year come alive in Christ internationally. No longer are God's people content to sit and listen, but they are wanting to learn and then share the Good News. And share they do! We have seen an explosive rate of new evangelization emerge in this time of trouble. While we on the home-front have experienced tremendous persecutions as enemies have avowed to destroy us "once and for all," we have seen God bring a tremendous increase around the world as souls have come into the light and have chosen to be empowered by the Master. Many churchites have come into the wonderful reality of the power of God and are abandoning their laziness to become aggressively active for the Lord and His Kingdom.
On the home-front, we have received good interest from the eastern United States as many are responding to the call of the hour and are activating themselves for the Lord. Workers in Canada continue steadfastly to stand for the Lord and His righteousness. Also we have seen good work coming forth in Central and South America as new distributors have come on board and training camps have been opened. God is on the move and we delight to be a part of that glorious moving of His Spirit and His power. We continue to put forth the witness in every way that the Lord opens doors, believing that He shall prevail and we shall see His omnipresent power in the lives of those who receive the Word with gladness.
Around the world, laborers for His Kingdom are continuing to use whatever means are available to put forth the Word of the Lord. Many are coming into the revelation of His glorious truth through these efforts. In many nations the videos are being broadcasted on television and sponsored by local enthusiasts who want the truth preached with boldness. It is so great to see that even in the poor regions that those who are able are pooling their resources to use the medium of television to broadcast the message far and wide. Many soldiers also use the videos as a means of evangelism and instruction so that the truth is spread to the towns and villages as they hold evangelistic meetings featuring the Battle Cry Sounding teachings. This is really the time of visual warfare as many are being brought to the Kingdom through the means of the videos being played as they are and also being telecast via television.
The ministry to the prisons both domestic and foreign continues to grow as prisoners are hungry for the truth and crying out to be fed. God has opened this year several new inroads into prisons which at times can be very hard to enter into with the truth. But by His mercy, He is making the way before us.
This year many encouraging efforts were made towards translation and we have brought some new Spanish publications into print for distribution to the Americas and here in the south western USA where the Hispanic population is increasing daily. We are seeing, interestingly enough, many conversions from Roman Catholicism and Mormonism. Also on an international level, conversions from Islam are at an all-time high as Muslims are turning wholeheartedly to Christ as their thirsty souls cry out for truth and light. Needless to say, those who are robbing Satan's house through bringing souls out of Islam into Christ are being persecuted heavily. We have even received death threats from irate Muslims who are irritated that the truth is being told about Islam. But the fact remains that Christ shall rule and light shall win over darkness, despite the persecutions, the conflicts, the threats and the fear. The truth continues to march on, conquering, prevailing.
The Lord continues to bless the outreach to the Native American peoples who are desperately in need of the Saviour. The suicide rates amongst the Native American youth are horrid. In New Mexico, suicide is very high and one out of every ten teenagers will commit suicide according to statistics. Many youth are being given the witness of the redeeming power of Jesus Christ as the literature and the missionaries continue to declare the truth with boldness. We give glory to God for the openness of those who are willing to hear the truth and accept the same with rejoicing. Despite the overwhelming odds against the truth, the truth continues to set many free from the bondages of alcoholism, drug addiction, and suicide as we continue to proclaim the truth to the Native American tribes. Glory goes to God who is able to make inroads into the darkness of centuries and bring forth captives into the glorious light of the knowledge of God.
At the hub of the wheel we continue here at ACMTC Headquarters to live a sacrificial life that others can receive the truth. It is with joy that we serve to see others saved. Many are critical of our efforts while they themselves do nothing to see others saved. Therefore we pray for our persecutors that they will come out of their spiritual lethargy and come forth in Him, working for the Kingdom instead of against the King! As it is, we thank God for this year of trials and triumphs, for in our God we have victory that no one can rob us of. And even though the enemies have roared and threatened, we keep on marching forward in the glory of our God. And we see that our God is taking us into realms of faith that are glorious and wondrous and we are encouraged to be seeing His prevailing power and glory revealed. We thank God for everything He has taken us through this year to show us His unlimited glory, to show us His power and majesty. We are indeed thankful to be serving the victor, the one who has promised to keep us, the one who is desirous to see souls redeemed--our Master, our Maker, Our Lord. It is He who does reign supreme and it is Him that we look to as we enter into the new year. We rejoice to enter into our God who is our life, our God, our glory. As we entered into our 34th year of service to our Master in December of 2004, we are more excited in Him than ever, seeing how our God makes a way continually. Even though many have sought to destroy us, their efforts have come to nought as our God has shown again and again, His mercies in our lives. So we thank God for the privilege to be serving Him and loving Him, laboring for the souls of men.
