ARMENIAN
MINISTRY OUTREACH: PART II We continue this month with Part Two of our Armenian ministry outreach. We are reporting about our meeting in a village closest to Mount Ararat when Noah’s Ark landed after the 40 days of rain. "But God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters subsided; the fountains of the deep and the windows of the heavens were closed, the rain from the heavens was restrained, and the waters receded from the earth continually. At the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters had abated; and in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark came to rest upon the mountains of Ararat." (Genesis 8:1-4 RSV The mountains of Ararat are located between the Black and Caspian Seas in Southern Armenia. Although ‘Mount Ararat’ has become popularly used for where Noah's ark came to rest, as The Bible account states, Ararat was actually a mountain range. Two peaks, about 7 miles ( 11 kilometers) apart, have been identified as the most likely location of the ark's resting place. The one is 14,300 feet and the other
10,300 feet above the adjacent Araxes plain. The higher of the
two has a snow-covered peak year round, and was known to the
ancient Persians (who were neither Jews nor Christians) as
‘Noah's Mountain.’ What a joy to win souls to Christ in the
village closest to this Biblical mountain of Mount Ararat! |

The building, as you can see in the photos,
is where we held the meetings except for the photo on the left
where we gave the students a copy of my book that we had printed
in the Armenian language. We printed 3,000 copies of my book
‘Secrets to Successful Christian Living.’
The feedback of the book has been wonderful, much like the same book we had translated which I wrote for the former USSR. We have had three reprinting of the book in the Russian language. We provide the books free to students, ministers and ministries. This has been a good outreach for the many books I have written translated in major and minor languages in various countries. |

| We are now preparing my book on the ‘Keys of the Kingdom’ in the Chinese language. However, we will tell of this in a future report. You may note on my book cover, that the Armenian alphabet is different than any we have ever seen. The photos show the building in the village of Hovteshen near Mihailovka, which you have helped build under the shadow of Mount Ararat. | |

However, the hall was packed and the best
part is that many new people that came to the meeting were won
to Christ. This is the greatest miracle when a person comes to
Christ and is BORN AGAIN of the Spirit of God! It causes joy in
heaven. Luke 15:10 (KJV) Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy
in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that
repenteth.
We love winning souls for the Lord Jesus Christ. This is why we went to Armenia and why, for almost 50 years we have gone into country after country sharing the Good News of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. |

We remember His Words in His Great Commission
to the whole Church in Mark 16:15 (KJV) And he said unto them,
Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every
creature. Viewing the photos here is a scene we never tire of
seeing.
All these years Marge and I have thrilled over the winning of one soul or the winning of up to six thousand in a single service in the call to repentance and salvation through our Lord. Please continue to pray for us. We pray that in the latter days of our ministry, we will see a greater work done for the Lord than ever before in the ministry He has called us to. God bless you.
