I have been encouraged so much by the GFM ministry. The books you posted to me last year have greatly impacted my life. God Bless you ~ Evangelist Amos & Lydia Odongo (Rongo, Kenya).

Prisoner Saved Through Reading a Book: 

We received an E-Mail from “ Garden of Faith Christian Fellowship ” ( Benin City , Nigeria ) that “some time ago a pastor told us about you and gave us a few of your materials.” This is a Testimony that was given during our recent church service, which was powerful and the anointing was present to heal, set free, and deliver the unsaved. A man named Mr. Dennis Dedebu (who had just been released from a jail in Lagos a few months back) said... One day he was bored and had nothing to do or read.... He called out, "Does anyone have anything to read?" Within two minutes someone tossed one of the books you sent here to him under his jail cell door.... He looked at it and READ it and was touched by what he read and decided to accept the Lord as his personal Lord and Saviour. “How amazing l could know God is calling me,” he said, and because of the things he had suffered, and was suffering, i.e. the loss of his family, he turned to Christ. The presence of the Holy Spirit was clearly evident and present in him after he had read that book, and he cried out to God. He told us this story that he got saved and was set free because of this book and now God has called him, and is preparing him to fulfill all of the fullness of that call. He now moves about houses, offices, hospitals, etc. telling people about Jesus. We praise His holy name today for him and the great privilege of knowing in Christ.

Praise God! Keep on keeping on with the work of God of yours! That is the priority. God bless you! It is wonderful that your materials saved and brought him to Christ in a new and far more powerful way as he would have been broken for life by what he went through. You are right in your materials.... We are loved by a very gracious and forgiving God. Let us continue to pray that lives are changed. Let us pray for God's miraculous love and mercy and grace to abound in more lives, and doors to be continually opening for you in order for you to continue to declare God's saving grace to everyone. You are reaching thousands with your message of redemption and new purpose in life. Keep up your great work. You are an amazing servant of God. You have this bright light around you that is so awesome and draws people to want to be near your materials you bring here! They want to learn all they can from you about our Father, as well as their children. God also touched my daughter through your materials in a way that no one else has been able to. I'm so grateful for that, it's beyond words. YOU are truly a blessing in our lives. You are truly and wholly committed to God and following a powerful evangelistic call that is evident to us here. I am so thankful for my daughter and the huge differences she has made in her life. ~ Pastor Sophia Omima (Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria).

Spiritual Warfare:

Your book, “Spiritual Warfare,” is a great blessing to us here in Nigeria. A friend was so discouraged he was thinking of giving up. I gave him your book “Spiritual Warfare.” His doubts and mis-feelings were dissolved. He is now living a fruitful lifestyle. I am always inspired every time I read your writings. I personally have learned so much from your writings. The impartation we have received has repositioned us for higher fruitfulness and transformation. Please send more books . . . you and your staff are in my prayers ~ Mrs. Agnes Iyalekhueosa (Benin City, Nigeria).

You Can Measure Your Love For God

Thanks for the book you gave us to translate “You Can Measure Your Love For God.” I also write to thank you for what the book did in my life, and that of my wife. During the translation and re-reading we learnt many things about love for God and for our neighbours.  In fact, after finishing the reading, I took my phone to call all whom I might have offended in one way or the other. I personally went to see as many people that I knew, both in my family, the church, and our friends around us. I asked them all if I had offended them in any way so that I might ask for their forgiveness. To my surprise some said ‘Yes,’ and I begged them for forgiveness.  Today I am a free man! I have started increasing my love for all humans whom God created in His image.        

Thanks so much for your book! And I pray that many French-speaking people in my country (and elsewhere) will benefit from this book, and be liberated from the lack of love ~ Pastor Lawrence Shambela Matanzima (Abidjan, Ivory Coast).

The Prophetic In The Exodus 

Your book on “The Prophetic In The Exodus” is very powerful. Thank you so much for sending it to me.  It needs to be widely read in the body of Christ.  It has been an inspiration to me. Sincerely, ~ Brian Rebbettes (Newbury, England).

..An Encounter with God..

In early 1989 I watched a video of the evangelist, Barry Smith, where Barry talked about Heaven and Hell. I realized I did not want to go to Hell and quietly said the prayer that Barry led on the video. Something happened inside me at that point and I told my father (who is a Pastor) about it. He handed me the book "An Encounter with God" by Rodney Francis, and said, "Read this," which I did. As I read Rodney's account of how God spoke to him to get up at 5:30 a.m. in the mornings to spend time with Him, I felt that God was speaking to me to do the same thing. As I went to bed that night I couldn't get away from this sense that God was asking me to get up at 5:30 a.m. Early the next morning I was awakened by a noise and looked over at the digital clock, it said EXACTLY 5:30 a.m.! At this point I had to make a decision: Was God speaking to me, or was this just a coincidence? I very wisely decided it was God and started to get up and spend time with Him, reading the Bible and praying.

It wasn't long before I knew that God had called me to preach, which I have done ever since, and which has eventually led to the founding of “SpiritLife Christian Church” in West Auckland in April 2005.

I am very grateful for Rodney's obedience in writing the book "An Encounter with God" and for the way Jesus supernaturally used this book to speak into my life. Thanks Rodney ~ God bless you SO MUCH! ~ Pastor Brett Heald (Auckland, New Zealand).

Flowing In The Holy Spirit

Thanks very much for the books you sent me. I received them at the time I really needed a word of confirmation from the Lord. They are so profound and they really enhanced my walk with God and flowing in the Holy Spirit.

May I testify that God confirmed something on the day I received the book. I was preaching at church on that particular Wednesday and I had prepared a message to share. I asked God to Confirm whether what I was about to preach was what He was speaking to the church. I had prepared to speak about the purpose of the Anointing. God was leading me to Luke Chapter Four and Isaiah 61. I prepared some points and numbered them. I was very shocked when I received the parcel of the books you sent me and opened the book “Flowing in the Holy Spirit,” to see that the same way I had numbered the points is the same way you did and the title I gave my message was exactly the way you had put it. I received it two hours before I was to preach. It was so prophetic. Thank you for being a prophetic vessel to the Church in the 21st century. May God Almighty continue to increase you as you serve the body of Christ. Thanks again. With warm regards to The GFM family ~ Brighton Mayamba (Lusaka, Zambia).  (Brighton attended The GFM International Training School in Nairobi, Kenya 2006).
