The city/island/nation of Singapore is not large in size, but is large in influence.   It's five million plus people from many nationalities live in this Asian economic powerhouse with one of the busiest ports in the world.   We ministered to many leaders in March 2019 including several pastors and professionals.   Our prayer is that God's hand continues to be on the nation of Singapore and on the young, influential leaders who are making a difference in the world from there.

March 2019 saw some powerful times of ministry in Papua, Indonesia where we ministered in a number of different locations, both urban and rural.  Our mission is always to exhort the church to reach out and that we did.  In the city of Sentani we ministered for three days and then left just hours before a flash flood devastated the city causing many lives to be lost and thousands to become homeless.    The believers who we ministered to were immediately called into action where they were able to reach out to the hurting in their own city.   

Our time in Cambodia and V***nam in November was filled with meeting amazing people that are serving God in a part of the world that desperately needs the Gospel.   It was a time of equipping in two nations that unfortunately have seen some of the worst of humanity.   The V***nam war and the Khmer Rouge genocide in Cambodia have left scars on this nation - but the power of the Gospel is making a difference.

In Cambodia, we taught in Phnom Penh to leaders from across the nation.  They were equipped in the area of evangelism and put their training into practice right away as we heard reports of them reaching out in unprecedented ways right after we left. 

In V***nam, we appreciate your prayers as we visited believers near Hanoi and Saigon.  Pray for the church in these two nations - the challenges they face are real.

Our small team of Brad Mayer and Matthieu Desourdis ministered 21 times in just 10 full days in the Philippines at the end of February.   We preached in numerous churches, prisons, schools, to youth, and to leaders.   God opened many doors as we saw over 200 come to Christ and hundreds more were ministered to in regards to the call to evangelize. 

When we saw a young gifrl come into one of the services we ministered in with a cast on both her legs with a bar between her feet, Matthieu mentioned that he knew a bit about what that was like as he also wore a brace like this on his legs when he was a child.  Matthieu prayed for the little girl and within just a couple of days, the casts came off.  Freely he received, freely he gave.

A young man named Dino found his way into a service in Bacolod, Philippines where his life was changed.  After a message about the miraculous, the faith of the people was stirred up, and a Filipino believer prayed with Dino three times after the service.  After the third prayer, Dino put down his crutches and walked without them for the first time in sixteen years!   To see a video of this man taking his first steps without crutches in many years, check out www.facebook.com/canadianfiremissions and find the post from March 3, 2018.
