OCCUPY

“And He called His ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.” Luke 19:13

Christ says to every one of us, Occupy till I come, that is, do all in your power, and much that seems beyond your power to save perishing souls. (1 5LtMs, Lt 24, 1900, par. 5)

Therefore, I pray that God helps me go beyond my power to save the lost! He has given me my work to do, and now so often He is telling me to “GO, tell others about it!” There is an urgency in His voice. I know His hand is upon me, and He puts His words in my mouth!

I have been traveling and presenting in all sorts of places from June 18 through October 27. Amazingly I have preached a total of 59 times, slept in 33 different beds or floors, been in 19 different countries, and flown on 21 different airplanes during this time! (To the best of my knowledge)! So, I will attempt to give you a “brief” report of this stunning period in my life.

Faithcamps this year started out in Tennessee with Faithcamp East in the Jesus for Asia Headquarters. While there I met the editor who published Tim’s book: “The Fallen Angel.” He told me he is doing a 7-book series. Tim’s is #3, and he wants me to be #4! I had prayed about a book for a long time, and now I felt God’s hand in this. I will send him copies of my stories from my web page and send them to him. I only have until May 26, 2026. Please pray for me in this!

I had a break next to visit my 2 sons, Bradley in Florida, then Micah in Montana. Then I travelled on to the big, famous Faithcamp in Hayden Lake, Idaho with Jon and Natalie. I was so excited to see them again! Following that was a lively encounter with a homeschool group in Ambien California – so much fun to bond with the young people!

However, I had to leave early to keep my speaking appointment at the British Columbia Camp meeting in Hope, Canada July 26 – August 3. This time in Canada is quite a highlight for me because it is the second year in a row I have been invited there. Now I have 8 presentations. The people are exceptionally warm, enthusiastic and loving!

It is a delight to speak to them, however, it takes a lot of prayer, study, energy, and time to prepare and deliver so many times, but God is in control and it is so rewarding. I have a life-long fantastic Egyptian friend living in Vancouver Island, whom I met last year - Myriam. We are the same age, same size, and same love for God! What a dear!

Also, the talented Australian singers became my friends! They filled that meeting hall with such heavenly music, and song services, that at times I just couldn’t sing for tears choking my voice! I advise you to attend that camp meeting if at all possible. You will never regret it.

One of the singers I met was Braedan Enterman. He invited me to speak to his “Arise” students in Finland, any time I am in Europe in September/October. I thought that would be difficult to fit in because when Jon, Natalie, Tim and I go to Europe we are very scheduled and busy going to so many places. But we both knew that if God was in it – it would happen!

During that 9-day Canada Camp meeting, I had one day off, Friday, August one. That day I was invited to present on QVtv Media. (quovadisministry 1844). This is a TV station that serves all of Canada, United States and part of Mexico. I felt privileged to take part in their program. They did a lovely job with back-drop pictures to match my topics. I did 9 presentations all in that one day!

My last presentation at BC was on Sabbath. Sunday, I flew back to Chattanooga, but it was a very difficult, and tiring all night trip, with long wait times and delayed flights. But praise God I had some time resting up with my sister after all that! I got to share all 8 of those presentations to my family along with all 21 lectures from my time in Phuket with Barbara O’Neill! What a blessed time of sharing and learning that was!

SECOND YEAR TO TRAVEL IN EUROPE

Can you believe this trip began with an airplane flight to Finland on September 11? This was a miracle of God because when we do Faithcamps in Europe our schedule is very packed with programs and travel!! But Natalie and I were leaving early so I could speak to the “Arise” students in Mikkeli Finland. What a beautiful location! We learned about huge miracles in establishing it. There were 32 students: young and enthusiastic 18 – 30years old. I sure loved them all!

I wish you could hear their reaction to some of my stories. They laughed when I laughed and cried when I cried. I showed BoJaw, the builder, singing special music in church when he was so nervous and scared. Afterwards those young people clapped and cheered so loud that we had to play it over and record their response. You’ve got to watch them here Amazing! I have never had that much enthusiasm and response from any group of people before!

BletJhaw has already shown that clip to BoJaw!! Now BoJaw is still singing for church, but he’s still so scared that he wears very dark sunglasses because he thinks if he cannot see the people, he won’t be so nervous!

After presenting 4 times in “Arise,” I met David Asscherick for the first time! How exciting! I was shocked that he was so interested in my work in the jungle! He loved it so much that he promised to come and do our evangelism next year, December of 2026!! Certainly, a divine appointment! Just look how God directs our steps! He has my footsteps walking on air!

Words cannot express my gratitude to God!

Sure did bond with these dear ones!!

We were scheduled for 5 Faithcamps in Europe total, but sometimes people heard us in one place, so they invited us to their location. Therefore, we did a total of 11 Faithcamps. some of which were quite short. I will list the 11 locations and make a few notes of interest here and there trying to be brief!! We drove 5200 miles total in Europe!

September 19,20 Faithcamp #1: Bern Switzerland: A large church! Some said they were lifted higher, understanding God better. A lady who had escaped from Ukraine came to me after my presentation. She wanted me to pray because her husband had been forcefully taken to serve on the front lines in the war. They had taken his phone and she had not heard from him for 3 months. This dear lady was really suffering. I prayed earnestly that her husband could contact her and be safe. Just one hour later when she was preparing for church potluck, he called her! She was beyond thrilled and experienced renewed faith!

September 23: Drove to Aachan Germany to pick up a VW car that a great friend we met last year was loaning us! What a donation that was! We were so thankful, and he was so trusting!

Trying to fit all 4 of our suitcases plus 2 boxes of Tim’s books!

September 25-28 Faithcamp #2: TGM medical missionary training school in Mattersdorf Austria. They have lovely facilities and housing. Beautiful location. They are looking for more students. They have no one registered for next year! Share this with others. I highly recommend it. Just Google: TGM Medical Missionary Training Center, Austria. Tim and I also presented to an Adventist grade school. Such fun to speak to the children – instant friends!

Playing with the children on the playground!

Austria is very beautiful!

September 30 Faithcamp #3: We were able to visit Bogenhofen Austria again. There is an academy and seminary there. Tim’s presentation about spiritual warfare was just what many of these students needed because they had come from new age practices. We met Yvonne last year. She had been in the long process of buying the Bogenhofen St. Peter am Hart castle. And church. This process had been long, difficult and wearying. We had joined her in praying God’s will in this all along! One week after we left, she messaged us that the sale finally went through! On October 8, the purchase was made. Only God could do it! What a miracle! Yvonne will have the seminary school in that castle and use it for witnessing to tourists. Jon said he has a dream of doing a full Faithcamp in the historic church behind the castle!

Absolutely beautiful. The inside needs quite a bit of work. Built in 1088 and consecrated in 1515, rebuilt in1571.

I believe the name of this church is Schlosskirche Hagenau HI. Nikolaus church!

They found me a swing behind the church!

October 3,4 Faithcamp #4: Matca Romania. It was quite a drive over the Carpathian Mountains because we met with snow! I greatly dramatized the event calling it a “White Out!” But it was enough for Tim to throw a snowball at me!

Tim and I stayed with this lovely family: Adrian and LoreDana with their 2 boys, Thomas 10 years old and Abel is 6

They served us this breakfast of polenta, goat cheese, potatoes and tomatoes from the greenhouse

This is a countryside of greenhouses! We climbed a steep mountain and could see greenhouses covering the landscape. The church was full on Sabbath. The people were quite formal and seemed unsure of us, but by the end they did not want us to leave. This is a different province from where we were last year, but Roxana, our faithful interpreter, travelled 9 hours on a train to be there and once again she did all the translation. These precious people suffered 42 years of communism ending in 1989.

October 5-8 Faithcamp #5: Camp Rzhavynisi, Ukraine. This is a camp for traumatized children coming from the frontlines of the war. Sixteen children were scheduled to come the following week. This is the most inspiring amazing project! These people do marvelous work for not only the children, but the caregivers and many more people who are fleeing from danger find a haven there and join the work. This is the only place where the young people wanted to join me in exercise at 6:30 each morning! I was so surprised and happy! They laughed a lot! Maybe they will continue exercising. I gave them my routines.

People say that there is no safe place in Ukraine. Everyone had difficult stories to tell of what they have been through. One lady said her son was taken into the army. Next, she heard he was in the hospital. Next, she heard that everyone around her son had been killed. He only remained alive! God has a purpose. You can find the touching report on this Camp here: https://yourcamp.in.ua You cannot see this video without going all out to help them. It is so touching! What loving leaders! What great outcomes for the children! Please help us pray for them all. The dear children who come here are very traumatized by the war. Some have lost everything. The government won’t let this camp have a larger group of children here until they can build a larger bomb shelter to hold all of them. Also with more funding they can accept more children and keep them for a greater length of time. This is the first group that we have had a Faithcamp with who are also missionaries with a ministry. What a sincere, loving group of people they are! I left a big chunk of my heart with this ministry!

Some of the people pictured here have escaped the war torn areas and come here for safety, but now they are helping with the camp and the orphan children who attend this camp.

October 11 Faithcamp #6: Zagreb Croatia. It seems like they double dated! We drove a long way to get here, but we only had 20 minutes for the 3 of us to give a little mission report. However, we prayer-walked the city on Friday afternoon and felt a burden for the city. We have full faith to know those prayers are answered.

Sunset Friday evening praying over Zagreb under the splendid Sabbath sunset sky!

Outside the Seventh-Day Adventist Church in Zagreb

Our apartment was in the city. We had to go through 2 iron locked gates like a jail to get in and then climb 58 stairs with our suitcases. I slept on the floor! Comfortable though!

October 12: Jon had to leave us through the 20th for a GC convention in Washingto DC. That was very important, but we sure did miss him. Because of his absence Natalie and I helped Tim do the driving, but we only drove one and a half hours each. Natalie drove through a border crossing; I drove through a toll gate. We both have our international DL. But poor Tim and Jon have worn themselves out driving. Natalie and I just make sandwiches in the backseat and make a crummy mess!

October 13 Faithcamp #7: Belgrade, Serbia. A friend, Miso, who we met last year at TGM hosted this evening for us. He had a good turn-out. Lovely people everywhere, seems like they’re surprised you can be this close to God and hear His voice.

Miso showed us around the old Belgrade fortress. Just look up the history of this fort! It has been a crucial military stronghold at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, evolving under numerous civilizations including the Byzantine, Bulgarians, Hungarians, Serbs, Ottomans, and Austro-Hungarians. It became a Serbian stronghold in the 19th century. Much blood was shed here. Now it is a tourist attraction.

Prayer walking through these extravagantly splendid orthodox churches. People are coming through here by the hundreds kissing statues, and the altars with the saints pictures. So sad, even nauseating for me to see! We are praying for the highest angels to be sent from heaven to shed heaven’s light of truth into these people’s lives.

October 16-17 Faithcamp #8: Koper Slovenia is right on the Mediterranean! Let’s take a turn at driving in Europe! I had to make my international drivers license worth while of course.

Because of persecution in their own church, these people met in another building, but were so eager to hear us. We have found that many churches have compromised the truth to such a degree that they do not want to hear those who are on fire for God and His kingdom. That is very sad, and we are seeing this all through Europe, but God has a revival and a remnant!

We are now in Italy!! We never got to eat pizza there, but sure did meet a lot of people.

October 17-19 Faithcamp #9: Torre Pellice, Italy is located near the Peidmont mountains where the Waldenses lived and fought, giving their lives to spread the gospel. I simply love this area!

Plus, it was quite a miracle because last year they would not let us in their church, we only did a zoom presentation to about 5 people. This time we were invited into the church and presented Sabbath afternoon to a packed little church. We were well received. Everything here is all God and none of us!!

October 20: Monday, Reunited with Jon! We also joined with our friends from the UK here in Torre Pollice!

October 21 Faithcamp #10: Christina and Daniel Blanco had invited a group to a meeting hall. What a special couple! They served a complete supper afterward – all this was done in 2 days! They expected 25 people but over 45 people came. The Holy Spirit took control of this meeting. So many meaningful conversations with the people. The people were so inspired to come up to higher ground. They were so excited to hear all our presentations and to understand more of the miracle workings of our God. Very powerful time. Many of the ladies wanted to pack up and go to BYT right away and help me.

October 22-23: Light Channel Studio in Pieve di Taco, Italy. This was an invitation to Tim, in the studio. However, the second day they had Jon. I also presented twice. Everything is on a steep mountainside in terraces. Everywhere were olive trees and grape vines. So beautiful! Everyone was sleeping or doing computer work, so I went for a long walk down the mountain and into this little town. It is so incredible that I am in Italy! How close to heaven I felt as I prayer walked the narrow streets! God is wonderful!

October 24-26 Faithcamp #11: Geneva Switzerland! This last one seemed like the most impactful. This was an international church, so we did not need an interpreter. Jon’s friends from Turkey were there and others joined just to hear Faithcamp. Jon did a special program on Sunday at the church school. We were pleasantly surprised to see so many there. The place was packed. The people were hungering and thirsting for the truth, and Jon and Tim gave it to them. Incredible time with these people. I got to counsel with a few people. So many names have been added to my prayer list. God is doing great things! We feel the Holy Spirit’s power!

Geneva was well attended with extra chairs down the aisle. The people were so overjoyed to have us and learn about how to connect with God and hear His voice, that it so inspired me! God has precious jewels all around the world!

One lady after church saw me shivering in the cold. Immediately she handed me a plastic bag with an orange woolen sweater! How sweet of her to give me her shirt. I am wearing it in the last picture and the little lady who gave it to me is shorter than me! She is beside me.

Here are a few pictures denoting the cold. Actually, because I am from a tropical country, Just look - I was way too cold most of the time in Europe! But it was all well worth it!

October 27: I flew out of Geneva to Munich, from Munich to Hong Kong, from Hong Kong to Bangkok! (Jon and Natalie returned the car – all cleaned up and in one piece)!

October 29: I took the domestic flight to MaeSot where BletJhaw picked me up! Sinking into the work here with a happy heart, even though it has rained heavily here every day for 4 days. But I’m so excited to be here! Started out by preaching in the church in KhaneCheu church, then in MaeSarriang church, then finally in BYT. Using information from Jon’s series on prayer walking.

I have met so many people and pray that God can revive and save them. I am always sad to say goodbye to every group! I have left a part of my heart with everyone I’ve met here. Our team of 4 was the hardest to see come to an end. Tim, who always carried my heavy suitcase for me and spoke with sincerity and power. Jon who made the love of Jesus even more tangible, and so effectively taught prayer-walking. Natalie, who also presented, told children's stories, and sang so appealingly after almost all my presentations. We are so bonded because of all our prayers and the Holy Spirit. We have worked 6 weeks together, studying and praying for and about everything. Each presentation received extra prayer - relying on the Holy Spirit to do the work! We have used every ounce of energy and endurance the entire time, by God’s amazing grace He saw us through. May His kingdom be advanced.

The inquiry of each one should be: What have I of my Lord’s, and how shall I use it to His glory? “Occupy,” says Christ, “till I come.” The heavenly Master is on His journey. Our gracious opportunity is now. The talents are in our hands. Shall we use them to God’s glory, or shall we abuse them? We may trade with them today, but tomorrow our probation may end and our account be forever fixed. (2T 668.3)
