I’m pleased to announce my eighth book has arrived from the publisher, and is available for sale through our ministry website (www.mkmi.org). The book can also be purchased in electronic format through Amazon Kindle, Nook or iTunes if you prefer. If you need to be encouraged to stand in faith in these terrible times, this book was written just for you.   
I opened a Twitter Account over ten years ago. Shortly thereafter, I decided to stop my “tweeting”, and devote my time on social media to Facebook because in the Philippines, that avenue of communication is far more widespread. In recent days however, the Lord has prompted me to resume my Twitter activity, so in obedience, I’m pleased to announce my Twitter account is open and searching for followers. Unless otherwise indicated by the Lord, these tweets will be short words of spiritual encouragement, designed to keep our swords as sharp as possible for Jesus in these end-times. If you’re active on Twitter, I would love to connect with you through this platform as well.  
Here are some of our students and staff, all masked up and ready to go out for crusade evangelism.
In August, our MKMI staff and RBTC student body conducted two village outreach events, where food and other needed supplies were given away in conjunction with the preaching of the gospel. Because the Fear Virus has kept everyone locked down and difficult to reach in the Philippines, we’ve altered our approach to focus on medical and humanitarian aid, which allows us limited access to the villages around us. We can’t hold large outdoor meetings. We can’t go door-to-door for personal evangelism. But, we can come in and share the gospel with smaller crowds of designated people. At this time, only one family member from each family or household is permitted to come to a public gathering. They must wear masks, and we must wear them as well. So, our crowds are much smaller, but the outreach is very effective nonetheless. 

In our two August crusades, over 100 people attended and over 100 people received Jesus as Lord and Savior. We are continuing with this outreach in September and beyond, until we’re able to resume full-scale outreach operations.
Here are three of our workers, sharing food, supplies and the gospel with one isolated villager.
Here is one of our pastors giving much-needed food/relief to poor villagers, inviting them to also receive Jesus as Lord and Savior.
For many of those we go door-to-door to, we're the only ones sharing any love and care. Most of them are ignored and forgotten in their poverty and fear, but Jesus knows where they are, and we do too!
Ethel teaching online to our RBTC students. To participate, one of our students has to walk early in the morning to church to use their computer, many times in the rain. We want to buy her a bicycle.
Our Rhema Bible Training Center concluded our Trimester of studies at the end of August. A brief trimester break will precede resumption of classes in mid-September. Simultaneously, our classes continue to be held in-person and online for those unable to travel back to the compound. Our graduation exercise, originally scheduled for the end of August, has been postponed indefinitely. We’re proud of how our students and faculty have adjusted to the difficulties created by the Fear Virus. Some of our students have been stranded in our compound since last March – unable to go home due to the travel restrictions and quarantines still in place in the Philippines. And of course, Ethel and I are still stuck in the USA, unable to travel in or out of the country with things as they presently are. But, from Arizona we’ve also taught classes online, using ZOOM technology, and will continue doing so as the Lord leads.
Here is Rev. Judd Alvia, teaching our RBTC students online using ZOOM technology.

This is an excerpt from chapter two of Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin’s book entitled "I Believe in Visions". He experienced this vision with Jesus in 1950! Imagine how close our Lord’s return is now!
America’s Last Call.
The scroll was written in the first person, and seemed as if Jesus Himself were speaking. I read, “America is receiving her last call. Some nations already have received their last call and never will receive another.” Then in larger print it said, “THE TIME OF THE END OF ALL THINGS IS AT HAND.” This statement was repeated four or five times. Jesus also said this was the last great revival. He went on to say, “All the gifts of the Spirit will be in operation in the Church in these last days, and the Church will do greater things than even the Early Church did. It will have greater power, signs, and wonders than were recorded in the Acts of the Apostles.” He said that we have seen and experienced many healings, but we will now behold amazing miracles that have not been seen before. Jesus continued, “More and more miracles will be performed in the last days which are just ahead, for it is time for the gift of the working of miracles to be more in prominence. We now have entered into the era of the miraculous. “Many of My own people will not accept the moving of My Spirit, and will turn back and will not be ready to meet Me at my coming. Many will be deceived by false prophets and miracles of satanic origin. But follow the Word of God, the Spirit of God, and Me, and you will not be deceived. I am gathering My own together and am preparing them, for the time is short.” There were several other exhortations to watchfulness, to awaken and pray, and not to be deceived. Then I read, “As it was in the days of Noah, so also shall the coming of the Son of Man be. As I spoke to Noah and said, ‘For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth’ [Gen. 7:4], so today I am speaking and giving America her last warning and call to repentance, and the time that is left is comparable to the last seven days of Noah’s time.”
‘Judgment Is Coming’
“Warn this generation, as did Noah his generation, for judgment is about to fall. And these sayings shall be fulfilled shortly, for I am coming soon.” Jesus repeated, “This is the last revival. I am preparing My people for My coming. Judgment is coming, but I will call My people away, even unto Myself, before the worst shall come. But be thou faithful; watch and pray, for the time of the end of all things is at hand.”
If you are an American citizen, pay attention! Millions of Believers don’t vote in our national elections, and that must change now. The upcoming presidential election on November 3rd is the most critical in our lifetime, and many Christians don’t seem to understand the gravity of the situation. Either they’ll choose to stay home and not vote, or they’re going to vote for the wrong candidate. Remember, there are only 2 viable candidates, so only one will win. At stake is our very way-of-life, the protection of our Constitution and Bill of Rights as written, and most importantly, the protection of our freedoms to share Jesus and obey the Great Commission of Mark 16:15-18. There are forces in play doing all they can to censor, silence and eliminate the Christian voice, and the only way this can be negated in the secular arena is in the voting booth. Jesus said if you love Him, you will keep His commandments (John 14:15). The Great Commission is not a suggestion or a recommendation. It’s a command. We have been commanded to go into all the world and share Jesus with people. Therefore, we have a God-mandated obligation to exercise our right to vote, and stand for the freedoms in this country that give us the ability to continue to evangelize and among many other things, protect innocent life from conception. Without debate, as far as nations go, America has historically been God’s greatest tool for world-wide evangelism, and whoever is President is the key to keeping that fact a fact. Remember, just like how God selected David, He looks at a person’s heart, and sees things we can’t (1 Samuel 16:7-12). Aside from Jesus, God has always worked with imperfect people, because no one is without sin. All men are flawed to one degree or another, you and I included. So, I will give you some simple guidelines to follow when (not if) you want to make your voice be heard.  1) PRAY! Intercede for the election. Pray that every Christian will understand what we’re talking about, and vote accordingly. Remember, we’re first and foremost Christians, not Republicans or Democrats, so our vote is motivated by spiritual realities and responsibilities. 2) VOTE! Not voting IS voting – you’re taking away a vote for the person who is best aligned to protect the eternal principles of Biblical righteousness. 3) DON’T WASTE YOUR VOTE. There are only 2 political parties in America. Voting for some independent because you don’t “like” either of the two candidates is foolishness. It’s the same as not voting at all. It’s a wasted vote. 4) VOTE POLICIES NOT PERSONALITIES. Vote for the political platform each candidate’s party stands for. Both candidates have a checkered past, but you must look beyond all of that. We’re not voting for personalities, but policies. Which political party most closely aligns itself with God, the things of God, the commandments of God, and the righteous standards clearly laid out in scripture? 5) EXAMINE EACH CANDIDATE’S POLITICAL HISTORY. After being elected to public office, which one has performed more in line with the interests of the kingdom of God while in a position of political authority? One has been in that postion for almost 50 years, the other only 3.5 years. Using your Bible as the standard for your choice, ask God to show you which candidate best agrees with HIS standards, not anyone else’s. 6) VOTE FEARLESSLY. Listen to God, no one else. Forget about your family’s ‘history” when voting. Don’t bow to any “pressure” applied to influence your choice. Be an independent individual who understands someday you’ll stand before God to answer for the choices you’ve made in life, including the choice you made when voting for our next President. You won’t stand before your family, your relatives, your friends, your co-workers or fellow students on judgment day. You will stand before God – alone. With that in mind, make your choice wisely this November 3rd. 7) PRAY FOR NATIONAL REPENTANCE. The political and social landscape has worsened dramatically since our last presidential election four years ago. Like never before, Christians are hated and being censored at every turn. Read Psalms 37 and 64 as examples of what lies ahead. Judgment is coming, but it can be delayed. One candidate has proven by his words and actions to be an ally of the Christian faith since 2016. The other one hasn’t. Second Chronicles 7:14 says it all. Only the church has the ability to impose a stay of execution upon our country. The life we live, both in this world and before God, is the key to saving this country from itself, and from the ungodly. We must do what we can in the voting booth, and then in our prayer closets. Pray for spiritual revival. Pray for on outpouring of the Holy Spirit across this land in ways and breadth never seen before. Pray for our national spiritual revival, according to Titus 2:11-14. We can do our part socially by voting righteously, but spiritually, we can do even more! We can go into the spiritual realm, and do battle there in the name of Jesus. No one else can do that! Either way, it’s up to us!  
We appreciate your faithful prayers of agreement for these priority issues affecting our ministry in the Philippines:

In the Philippines:
Tax Attack. Discussed in the August COLD WATER. To date, no new developments to report. We’re believing for total victory, paying no taxes to anyone.

Fear Virus Issues. Agree with us that all COVID-19 hurdles are eliminated. That means all travel restrictions and quarantine requirements be lifted in all countries where we are assigned by God to go, especially the Philippines.

Ministry Income. Agree with us for steady and sufficient monthly income to run the ministry and continue all avenues of outreach without interruption. We’re feeding on God’s faithfulness (Psalms 37:3).

Road Expansion Project: The city of Ozamiz has indicated they intend to restart construction work to widen the road in front of our compound, which would damage and destroy hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of our property and existing structures. Believe with us for the complete termination of this project – with no damage or destruction to compound property.

In America: 
Pray for national spiritual repentance and revival. This alone can save America from itself, and from the ungodly, as described above.  
Once again, Ethel and I want to thank all of you for your faithful and generous support. I’m pleased to report that to date, all of our bills are paid, and we’ve got enough on hand to continue funding our on-going work overseas.  Through all the Fear Virus lockdowns which are still in place all over the world, God has proven Himself faithful to meet our needs, and we know He will continue to do so. You are a very important part of His work to sustain MKMI through 2020 and beyond. We can’t say when we’ll be able to return to the Philippines, but wherever we are we know we’ve got partners like you to lean on, as we all stand in faith for complete victory over this global attack of the enemy. I’ve included excerpts from a letter recently received from a 97-year old sister and ministry partner. I hope it blesses you as much as it did for Ethel and I. 
Dearest Ethel Keyes, and your family and the ministry of each through this trial God is allowing this world to experience. Hopefully praying it will be of benefit to draw humans to turn their hearts & soul to Jesus as Lord of life! Now at 97 years of age, it is still amazing to continue in becoming stronger in my faith and trust in God’s Word! As I continue to read again and again books I have of Mike’s writings & sharings, I want each of you to know the effect of this ministry towards encouraging others. Being in “close quarters” is a blessing and as I do not the “tech stuff”, reading is my pleasure. Forgive me for “rattling on”, for I neither want to abuse your time! Again and again letting each of you in your ministry, know you make a big difference in the life of others, to bring trust in our Lord Jesus as our “reason” in this world system. Much love & gratitude, Louise. 
 
P.S. I meant to let you know I cannot imagine what this ministry is enduring through this, yet am confident it is helping many souls to turn to Jesus as Lord of life!

Matthew 6:27. Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?  

Read and meditate on what Jesus said in Matthew 6:25-34. Worry is a sin! It’s an insult to God, and a slap in the face to our Lord Jesus. Take time to renew your mind to all the wonderful promises in God’s Word when fear is trying to take over your life. Hebrews 2:14-15 tells us Jesus set us free from the fear of death, and that is the real virus spreading under the guise of COVID-19! Luke 21:25-26 tells us that in the last days, men’s hearts will fail them for fear of what they see coming on the earth. Christians should not be like those who don’t know their God. Be different. Be in faith, not fear! Expect Jesus to supply for you and your family. If God be for us (and He is), who can be against us? (Romans 8:31-39) He will never leave us, or forsake us, so what can men do us? (Hebrews 13:5)  Cast all your care upon the Lord, for He cares for you. (1 Peter 5:7)

Note: this final thought was taken from the March 16, 2020 MKMI Daily Devotional. I encourage you to read and feed upon those devotionals daily. They’re found in our MKMI Facebook page.  
God has given us exceedingly great and precious promises in the Bible but so many people go through life without receiving all that God has planned for them. Why? What is the secret to receiving all that He has for us? Faith.

With faith ... all things are possible. With faith... we are able to please God. With faith ... even just the size of a tiny mustard seed... we can move mountains.
The devil knows this. That's why he and his demons are dedicated to seeing your faith fail under pressure. Many obstacles are placed in your way to discourage you in the hope that you will give up. But God's promises, blessings, and rewards are on the line. To receive them you must be willing to develop Determined Faith.
