In response, we are sending this reminder of the vital role Egypt has played in biblical history. It was the nation Abraham escaped to flee the famine in the land (Genesis 12:10); that harbored and elevated Joseph in power to save Israel (Genesis 41:41); saved and nurtured Moses to deliver Israel (Exodus 7:1-2); and was a place of refuge for our savior and delivered Him to save us all (Matthew 2:13-20).

Remember, the Camp David Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty between three most unlikely leaders (Anwar Sadat, Menachem Begin, President Carter) in 1978 still holds. Egypt has a delivering mantle. As the strike was against the Coptic church, Egyptian leaders have requested to pray for the Coptic church, the people and the leadership, for revival and being raised up. There are great seeds of revival ignited by fervent prayer, accentuated by miracles, (Ex. Cave Church, Mokkatam, Simon the Tanner ) in the church in Egypt.

Isaiah 28:5-6 (

Our hearts ache for the continued crisis of ISIS and now the tragedy rising out of Egypt. In response, we aresending this reminder of the vital role Egypt has played in biblical history. It was the nation Abraham escaped to fleethe famine in the land (Genesis 12:10); that harbored and elevated Joseph in power to save Israel (Genesis

41:41); saved and nurtured Moses to deliver Israel (Exodus 7:1-2); and was a placeof refuge for our savior and delivered Him to save us all (Matthew 2:13-20). Let us pray for God's full redemptive plan for Egypt. Remember, the CampDavid Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty between three most unlikely leaders (AnwarSadat, Menachem Begin, President Carter) in 1978 still holds. Egypt has adelivering mantle. As the strike was against the Coptic church, Egyptian leadershave requested to pray for the Coptic church, the people and the leadership, forrevival and being raised up.

Below(are(stories(we(believe(reflect(the(-mes(today...Jesus'(light(shining(in(the(midst(ofdarkness(with(resurrec-on(power.((Testimony from Kathmandu, Nepal (unedited) Almost 15 years ago, in 1999, I went to Nuwakot with my family to start new church. At that time, therewas no church in that area. We rented a house in Bidur, a small town of Nuwakot, and moved in. After few weeks wewere preparing for the opening service of our new fellowship. A group of people approached and started kicking me.To this day, I still vividly remember that unforgettable moment. The big crowd shouted "Hit him! Hit him! TheseChristians are religion changers, relationship breakers, western religion promoters, cow-meat eaters”, and yelledmany other accusations and curses. My wife had been watching from the gate and was crying as my 1-year-old sonlay sleeping in the room. The crowd dragged boxes of hymnbooks and the Book of John and Romans and burnedthem in the road. After a few hours, they threatened me forcefully demanding we leave town within 24 hours. I returned back to Kathmandu with my family. I have devoted my life in God's work. We prayed and went to Itahari(east Nepal) after a few months. My family and I spent almost 9 years in Itahari. During that time God establishedHis church in two places (Itahari and Kerkha) through our life. Then we moved back to Kathmandu where I ampresently serving at Grace Baptist Church and Micah Network Nepal. All these years later, the memory of this event remained fresh in my mind, but I never returned to Nuwakot. Wealmost forgot to pray for that place and those people. The day before yesterday, I traveled back to Nuwakot after 15years to provide training for local church leaders. When I reached the town, all thepast moments flooded my mind. When I got to the place where I was persecutedpublically, I could not believe my eyes. There, in the same house where I wanted tostart our fellowship, was the signboard of Bidur Revival Church. I met Pastor Dil Bahadur Ghale. I asked him about his fellowship and he startedto explain about its history. He said, "Many years ago, a couple came to this town topreach the gospel and plant a church. Unfortunately, they were persecuted by thelocal people so the missionary family were forced to leave this place". I asked aboutthe unknown family, "Do you know where they came from? What was their name?"He replied, “No.“ I’m not sure I can even express how that made me feel... perhaps happy, or sad,or maybe a little of both. I introduced myself and explained, "I am that personstanding in front of you who left this town with prayers of forgiveness." He becameso surprised. Later, I met some neighbors and they recognized me once Iintroduced myself. Today, I am so thankful to God for this great plan. Where we planted seed, God showed me there is fruit now. Iam greatly encouraged. I pray; Almighty God, you have chosen me as your servant in this world. I want to live my lifemore closely, more devotedly, more prayerfully. Please give me strength and good health."Thir K.C.Kathmandu

Testimony from Yozgut, Turkey(unedited) This story is from a very difficult area with a lot of spiritual oppression. A Christian lady whose childrenwere taken away in a vicious battle during court proceedings for divorce by her Muslim ex-husband and mother-in-law is praising and thanking the Lord. Her ex-husband came to her and said she could have the children back andthat he was disillusioned with Islam and wants to learn more about her faith. She is now in a Bible School that isgiving her training in the Word and will provide housing for she and her children. Her ex-husband wants to visit herat the Bible School and learn about her faith himself.Istanbul, Turkey (name withheld for privacy purposes)

Testimony from Bakersfield, CA: Amazing Story of HOP DevelopingThere has been an amazing set of circumstances that has unfolded here in our local city Bakersfield, CA over thepast few weeks. Our church, which has opened their doors to our call to establish a HOP and where we presently

meet, has just been donated a 6.2 Million dollar complex in the center of our city. It has 172,000 + square feet and is an amazing facility with parking etc. The visionis for the facility is to be a “City Center” with a HOP in it with restaurants, andministry outreach facilities (yet to be determined) that will minister to the needs ofthe community. The papers were handed over on a Friday in January. News ofthe high speed rail legislated to come through the city hit the following day,Saturday. As a result, calls came in to buy the facility just 24 hours after thedonation but it was too late. The donation had already been made. Recently, we dropped by to show some friends the facility. Some youth werethere cleaning up the place with worship music going. We found out later that twohomeless people came by that same day, and came to know Jesus as they

ministered to them. Also, we found out that the pet store owner in the complest next door has been going aroundthe building for the past several years anointing the doors and praying for God's willto happen in the facility. We were reminded in our discussions that the first time David brought the arkin to Jerusalem was through pomp and circumstance, the second time was throughsacrifice. Though this is at a very infant stage with much to overcome, we can onlysee God's hand in it, a sacrifice that will bear fruit in the future. Already contractorswilling to donate time and resources are moving in. Key ministries are aligningincluding a West Coast Convoy of Hope Distribution Center. What is the message? Though often in unseen and hidden places, do notgrow weary. God is the God of breakthrough. When He does it, it is so much betterthan our best efforts. Though in HOP environment for nearly 17 years now here,we have sensed God’s restraint for a building and to focus on staying steadfast inoften humble and difficult places. Be encouraged. He is hearing the cries. Pleasepray now for the wisdom, grace and favor in stepping forward. 2 Chronicles20 is very much on our heart for strategy and the testimony of Jesus to grow…mayit be a glory to Him and His goodness.Blessings,Fred and Sue RoweTransform World Celebration Challenge facilitators, “Trumpet Call to Nations” Co-founders The Living Wall(__________________________________________________________________________________Testimony: Inherit the Nations Project

Restoring God's Feasts

an invitation to intimacy

Passover:April 3-10, 2015

Accentuated by the recent events in Egypt, God is moving to restore theimport of His timeline, the Jewish feasts, to the church in preparation forHis return. Passover this year is April 3-10. At the time of the firstpassover, God called the Israelites to gather, retreat under the mantle oftheir doorposts, and commune with Him. He was preparing them for agreat deliverance. So it is today. He is preparing us for a greatdeliverance...Jesus' return. Passover is one of the great commemorativefeasts of Israel in which God commanded, "So this day shall be to you amemorial, and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord throughout yourgenerations," Exodus 12:14.

Jesus shared with his disciples the Passover feast in which he broke bread and said, "This is My body which isgiven for you; do this in remembrance of Me," and said, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shedfor you," Luke 22:19-20. To accentuate the focus towards understanding Jewish feasts, we are in the midst of a significant sign. We are inthe eighth tetrad of red moons since Christ's birth, appearing at the beginning of the Feast of Passover and Feast ofTabernacles, 2014, 2015. The red moon for Passover this year is scheduled for April 4th. God is calling our attentionto His timeline for a reason. He is preparing His bride for His return.

April 4, 2015: Passover Red MoonWe invite you to join with your family, church, house of prayer, prayer groups in celebrating Passover this year. It isan act of redemptive spiritual warfare, honoring God on His timeline. If you would like a Christian Seder guideline, contact us
