Praise God! so Im sitting with my strong Dutch coffee at my hotel in some town outside amstradam after a quite a long day in the city. I have never been to such a demonic wicked and evil city in my life. such perversion and ungodlyness that I have never before experienced.
Bogdan and I spent the day on foot exploring downtown amstadam and it was basically all sex and drugs. men with men women with women, prostitutes in the windows like shopping for clothing.
In dark room a candle burning lights up the room so shines the gospel in a dark city. Bogdan and I were shocked and marked in our Spirits by the hunger for the gospel in this wasteland, these hearts are ready for the gospel! They are tired and sick inside having tried all the pleasure this world can offer and the only christ they know is an outdated relic made of stone on an old catholic church. There is such a hunger for this strange Jesus, this Jesus who is alive this Jesus who has the power to change a human heart. again praise God!
Also in the Spirit I hear the urgency of the hour and the cry of the heart of God that none should perish. There is a definate urgency in these the last days and it is the cry of the creator going over amstradam. Multitutudes, multitudes in the valley of decision on the day of the Lord.
Bogdan and I got some footage of evangelism in Poland as well to share when we get back.
Pray the Lord of the harvest to send workers into the harvest!!!!!

All who are thirsty All who are weak Come to the fountain Dip your heart in the stream of life Let the pain and the sorrow Be washed away In the waves of his mercy As deep cries out to deep

Dear, Louis and Bogdan
I hope that you and Bogdan are keeping well. This is Caleb from Lethbridge writing. If you dont remember, we came out to street church twice a few months ago. I was very encouraged to read you Amsterdam post. The verse that you used at the end of the post is something that the Lord has burdened my heart with.In April, March of this year, the Lord burdened me to go and preach to the nation of Armenia. I told this to the church, and continued to pray. I had been there 3 times, and the Lord laid it on my heart to go there. I was fasting and praying a few days ago for some of the young people in our little church, that they would catch vision for the Lord's will in their lives.
Eph 5:17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
Lu 10:2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
Pr 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
Anyway as I was praying, the Lord told me to go now. Please pray for me, I sense the Lord leading me to go in 4 weeks, (at the end of our trip to Israel/ Jordan in about 2 weeks). Pray that the Lord would save many, and break me more that he may get the glory that is his. Oh to see, as Isaiah did, the burden of these dark lands. If you read through the bokk of Isaiah, he often mentions burdens. The burden of moab ect. “Isa 13:1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.“ The Lord showed Isaiah the ruin that sin had brung upon these places. Oh that the Lord would give us his vision that we might see the ruin and plight of sinful men.
I have been encouraged by these verses:
21 ¶ Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me.
22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.
23 Sing, O ye heavens; for the LORD hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel.
24 Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;
25 That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;
26 That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof:
27 That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers:
28 That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.
1 ¶ Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
4 For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
5 ¶ I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation,
Isaiah 44-45
9 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
10 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.
11 And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.
12 ¶ Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,
13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.
14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:
20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
21 For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.
22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
23 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
Acts 26
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
