Dear Friends:
“In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did as he pleased.”
Judges 17:6
Concerning Israel, today, no news is good news. All we hear is confusion, accusations and hatred.
How can we be blessed? Jay observes that it harkens back to the time of the Judges when the people demanded a King. I am afraid we are in for some very very dark days. One side loves to blame the other, and no one has all of the answers, yet there is NO willingness for negotiation brother to brother. We are in dire need of a wake-up call immediately before the situation escalates into civil war.
“… Dispense true justice,, practice kindness and compassion to each other and do not oppress or exploit the widow or the fatherless, the stranger or the poor; and do not devise or even imagine evil in your hearts against one another.”
Zechariah 7:9,10.
The above order came through Zechariah as he encouraged 50,000 returned exiles from Babylon to Jerusalem. They had to get on with the work of building a very humble temple. History certainly repeats itself, so clearly seen through the history of ancient and now modern Israel today. The anger of the Almighty is real. There can be no backtalk. Everyone is left speechless when He moves through the nations. Again the stage is set worldwide for incredible days ahead that we cannot even imagine. May our faith spring ever upward full of praise and hope for the pathway we will walk in perilous times, knowing we are never alone.
Heroes of the FAITH:
Nepal:
Today I am introducing you to two of my dear friends. The first is Indira Ghale, a champion of trafficked girls and women in Asia and the Middle East. Presently she is in a highly politicized court case against a serial pedophile. The accused was caught trafficking 300 Nepali girls to India. Indira, with the help of God’s favour won two court cases against serial pedophiles in the past, who sit in prison today. PRAY for victory to come SWIFTLY. Enough of the deliberations. You can view a powerful portion of the film we made for Indira. God’s people gave us funds and we founded the NGO Change Action Nepal in Kathmandu in 2018.
Our theme is: YOU can make a difference.

Canada:
Now, I want to introduce you to Canada’s Cathy Peters. In 2012 her home was the venue where I shared insights of my work with the sexually abused. Cathy and many others had questions about this type of work. Although shy by nature, Cathy forged ahead with the help of key contacts to become a powerhouse for truth and righteousness on behalf of trafficked girls and women. She is a recipient of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Medal for her anti-human trafficking advocacy work. Here she is in her own words:
Dear friends,
I was interviewed by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and they printed the interview in the March DECISION magazine entitled: Putting Full Surrender into Action – The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association of Canada.
Sincerely, Cathy Peters
BC anti-human trafficking educator, speaker, advocate
I have met so many mighty women who are making a difference in their various nations. Women who dared to stand up and tell it like it is. Women who were found by Jesus and have never turned back. Women with backbone, grit, determination and the necessary willing heart to speak out for those who are silenced. You will meet both courageous men and women in my book Stain Remover.
For 40 years, I worked tirelessly in this field, from 1980 to 2021. Many brave men stood alongside to help. My husband and sons are among them.
Books:
Honour Thy Father??? – 1986 … The first of its kind in the USA.
Stain Remover 2021 is available on Amazon and Book Deposit.
PowerPoint:
Small Talk: is a popular PowerPoint on sexual touching for children of all ages. I used it in my family and children’s seminars.
Film:
Looking back, the film Change Action Nepal is the film our family was inspired to work on together in Nepal over a three-year period. Sexual issues have now escalated out of control, with our children being legally taught to choose their own sexual expressions as early as kindergarten. What an inditement upon our dark enabling societies. This is the one topic the archaic Church structure shies away from; to our peril. Consequently, your friend Meridel and millions of others have learned to ‘choose life and live’.
“I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also.”
1 Corinthians 14:15
