I am sitting in a small plane now, flying to Pontianak. I have a little time to write about what has happened over the past few days.
While speaking with local pastors, I learned that the people living there are very distinctive. They have many different traditions and superstitions, and idol worship is widespread. Most of them spend all their time working on plantations, and large gatherings of people are unusual for them. That is why, at modern services in the “American style,” such people do not know what to do. When you tell them, “Begin calling out to God and declaring your victory by faith,” it is a puzzle to them, and they respond “half-heartedly” to what the preachers ask them to do.
It Is Important to Prepare the Church for Miracles
I told the pastors how important it is to prepare the church for a healing service. The outcome depends on it. I gave them practical recommendations, and they followed them. The first and final services I conducted in their church were completely different from each other.

Putussibau: The Final Healing Service
On the third day of the ministry, the hall was full, the microphones worked well, the ushers positioned people properly, and catchers stood behind them. Ministers interviewed those who had received healing and brought them onto the stage. Everything went very well!
There were many healings and testimonies at this service. I remembered several testimonies; they promised to send me the rest.
- A woman came to the service with glaucoma in her left eye. She could not see anything with that eye. After the corporate prayer, warmth came upon her eye, and it began to see at 50 percent. The woman was glad that the disease had been defeated and that the restoration process had begun.
- A woman came to the healing service with cataracts. She could see poorly with both eyes; the image was blurry, as though viewed through a film. During the corporate prayer, I asked people to lay their hands on the affected area. She placed her hands over her eyes and received healing instantly. Her vision became clear, and the film disappeared from her eyes.
- A woman came to the first healing service with a tumor in the area of her reproductive organs. She was being prepared for surgery. After the prayer, she felt warmth in her abdomen and realized that something was happening there. At the final service, she came onto the stage and testified that she had been healed. Because of the tumor, she often had to run to the bathroom, but now she goes normally. She believes that when she is examined by doctors, they will find no tumor.
Continuation of the testimony:
The next day, dirty blood mixed with pus began flowing from the woman’s vagina, and the tumor came out completely. She discovered that she had been completely healed of the tumor. - An elderly woman came to the healing service with a cane. When people were invited to come forward for prayer, she came out leaning on her cane. During the prayer, the woman dropped her cane and began walking in front of the stage. She went home on her own, without the cane. This was witnessed by the ministers of the church where the healing services were held.
- There were many different healings of joints, bones, necks, and limbs.
- People often testified that the pain had disappeared and that they felt well.
Once again, I came to a conclusion. If we want to see more results, we need to remove all obstacles from the ministry. It is important to prepare a team that knows WHAT to do and WHEN to do it.
Putussibau: Young People 
Putussibau: Church Leaders
This is my first extended healing crusade.
I have no assistants with me, there is a language barrier, and there are many cultural differences, so every church is a new challenge to my faith. The schedule is so packed that there is no time to get a proper night's sleep, pray, or listen to the Bible. Yesterday, before the service, I even prayed a desperate prayer: “Lord, I am nothing. Without You, I can do nothing. If You do not do something at this service, it will be a complete failure.” And He helped me, answered, and covered everything with His grace. Glory to the Lord for a wonderful service!
Tomorrow we have to travel for a full 3.5 hours to the service. Then, after the service, we will spend another 3.5 hours traveling back to the hotel. I don't know when we will eat or sleep today… Please keep me in your prayers. Thank you!
By the way, I have a lot of footage from Putassibau. Aguz told me a lot and showed me how he makes millions of dollars. When I have time, I will post an additional article about Aruana that will be of interest to businesspeople. Stay in touch.
