February/March 2010<em><br />
Mark Kiefiuk and Victor Gill have returned from India, and bring us this report of what the Lord has been doing there.</em>
</p>
<p>
<!-- autolink_area_end --><span id="p75ba097622d7b2bfc38f5edc737f17a2"></span><script type="text/javascript">loadPicasaImage('p75ba097622d7b2bfc38f5edc737f17a2', 'picture_summary', 'A:XX-India', 'india-map.jpg', '', '', '', '', 'show-without-caption', 'false', '377');</script><!-- autolink_area_begin --><strong>Victor: </strong>Mark and I left for India on January 15. The plan was for us to preach to non-SDA pastors in three different cities&mdash;Bapatla, Ponnuru, and Vinukonda. Our plan was to spend five days in each place, preaching four messages per day. <br />
</p>
<p>
<strong>Mark:</strong> On Sabbath, January 16, we met a young man in Hyderabad named Praveendas and his uncle, Pastor Caleb, from Bapatla area. We drove with them until midnight to the Bapatla area where would begin our meetings with the pastors. On Sunday, January 17, we met the one who was in charge of arranging our meetings&mdash;Pastor Caleb&rsquo;s brother and Praveendas&rsquo; father. His name was Pastor Yesusdas and he was a medical worker in the government before he became a Christian. 
</p>
<p>
He first became a Baptist and then an Adventist. God put a dream on his heart to have a pastor from overseas to come and preach to non-SDA pastors, because he has a lot of friends and has good connections with the pastors from other denominations. 
</p>
<p>
Pastor Yesusdas really has an incredible family. Praveendas works with the government as an accountant. He also has some incredible connections with prominent leaders in India. Up until now, we had been going over to India with only tourist visas. However, Praveendas arranged for us to have a full 5-year visa to India to preach, teach, and build.
</p>
<p>
<!-- autolink_area_end --><span id="p1e0b3e2e57b2b9d5f9d6565ed6d36eb1"></span><script type="text/javascript">loadPicasaImage('p1e0b3e2e57b2b9d5f9d6565ed6d36eb1', 'picture_summary', 'A:XX-India', 'India2010-5.jpg', '', '', '', '', 'show-without-caption', 'false', '377');</script><!-- autolink_area_begin -->This is a rare privilege given to very few organizations operating in India. So many Seventh-day Adventists have been going to India on tourist visas to do evangelism and been detained or sent home because of this issue. Due to the influence of this family, any evangelist sent by Amazing Discoveries to India will now be permitted to legally preach, teach, and build in that country. We are praising the Lord for how He is leading. <strong></strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Victor:</strong> What a wonderful family&mdash;full of honesty, integrity, and 
educational skills. Pastor Yesusdas is a Regional SDA Pastor over 42 churches, and his two sons have state
government positions, are fluent in English, and able to translate with
speed and accuracy. Pastor Caleb is a seasoned Adventist pastor 
with administrative skills, and gave strong leadership and organization.
</p>
<p>
We weren&rsquo;t long into the preaching mode when Mark said to me, &ldquo;Pastor, 
you do the preaching, and I&rsquo;ll do the praying. God is richly blessing 
your preaching.&rdquo; I agreed. Mark is a real prayer warrior. I appreciate 
his companionship.
God richly blessed both our efforts, as I preached up to six hours a 
day, and Mark continued to pray for me even when he returned home after 
two weeks to prepare his home church for evangelism. God heard and 
answered his prayers, along with yours I am sure.&nbsp;
</p>
<p>
Over two hundred non-SDA pastors came for the meetings, and stayed for one week. We housed them and fed them. The Holy Spirit impressed their hearts with truth. Many gave personal testimonies of their convictions. &nbsp;
</p>
<p>
<strong>Mark: </strong>On Monday morning we had over 167 pastors and their wives attend our first meeting. Also during our time there, we moved from a hotel into a beautiful old government agricultural farm area out in the country. We had a lizard as a pet. It stayed with us the whole time and assisted in keeping the mosquitoes away. God really blessed.
</p>
<p>
We continued the meetings on Tuesday, January 19, and the attendance continued to grow as more Sunday-keeping pastors and their wives started to attend. Pastor Gill preached three meetings on Monday and five on Tuesday. He preached an average of six hours per day to these pastors and they never got restless. They continued to come and to respond more each meeting.<br />
</p>
<h1 class="document-subsection">The Uprising</h1>
<p>
<!-- autolink_area_end --><span id="p15942d1355f20674a2310fbb3e01d8e8"></span><script type="text/javascript">loadPicasaImage('p15942d1355f20674a2310fbb3e01d8e8', 'picture_summary', 'A:XX-India', 'India2010-3.jpg', '', '', '', '', 'show-without-caption', 'false', '377');</script><!-- autolink_area_begin --><strong>Victor:</strong> By Wednesday, January 20th, the meetings grew to the point where people had to sit outside. I covered four sermons. After the second sermon, which was on the Sabbath, an uprising started to take place.
</p>
<p>
One man stood up and challenged me. As he asked a question, I opened my Bible to answer it, but another man stood up and started yelling in Telegu for the people to leave. Everyone started yelling and pretty soon the whole place was in an uproar.
</p>
<p>
We dismissed the meeting for a break. After 20 minutes, about 95% of the people came back into the meetings. God moved. There was a lot of tension but I preached another message on the two covenants and the change of the Sabbath from Daniel 7. Mark continued to pray earnestly, calling out for God&rsquo;s Spirit and His angels to stop the Enemy from distracting these meetings.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Mark:</strong> At the end of the meeting, Pastor Caleb stayed to talk to the ministers. He offered 100,000 rupees to anyone that could show one text in Scripture that could prove that God changed the day of rest from Sabbath to Sunday. Of course, no one came forward.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Victor:</strong> On Thursday, January 21st, I preached three meetings, beginning with the subject of the mark of the Beast. We had an incredible attendance. It was larger than ever. Everyone came back, even the men that caused the uprising. We had over 100 Sunday-keeping pastors and their wives. 
</p>
<p>
<strong>Mark:</strong> While the message of the mark of the Beast was preached, you could hear a pin drop even though the sermon was 2 &frac12; hours long. We could see the hearts of people being moved as heads were nodding in agreement. The Holy Spirit was moving in a mighty and powerful way. At the end of that meeting, we stopped for lunch. The man that asked the question that started the uprising came to apologize to Pastor Gill. It was incredible to see him kneeling down and praying together with Pastor Gill. Praise the Lord for how the Holy Spirit moved upon that man&rsquo;s heart. <br />
<br />
<!-- autolink_area_end --><span id="pb0b4aee1bf327147a0790d7395bdff09"></span><script type="text/javascript">loadPicasaImage('pb0b4aee1bf327147a0790d7395bdff09', 'picture_summary', 'A:XX-India', 'India2010-7.jpg', '', '', '', '', 'show-without-caption', 'false', '377');</script><!-- autolink_area_begin --><strong>Victor:</strong> It was wonderful to see the Holy Spirit&rsquo;s work of restoration when the man came to apologize to me. 
</p>
<p>
<strong>Mark:</strong> Some of the messages were difficult for the people to accept. Commotion arose a second time, but again, through prayer and the influence of our Adventist brethren and others who supported the message, peace was restored again. 
</p>
<p>
Christopher, a lawyer and Christian from Hyderabad, came up to meet with us on Friday. He is not a member of the SDA church, but loves the Lord and believes the message about Sabbath he heard Pastor Gill preach about 3 years ago. He has been instrumental in arranging both last year&rsquo;s meetings and this year&rsquo;s. He is very much involved behind the scenes and a well-respected man. <br />
</p>
<p>
When he heard the commotion that was taking place, he was stirred and spoke for about half an hour to the pastors. It was a powerful message that only served to impress the crowd further that the message they were hearing was the truth. <br />
</p>
<p>
Pastor Gill then preached the final sermon on the unpardonable sin. He preached about two hours. He asked for a show of hands of who accepted these truths and 50% raised their hands. It was an incredible ending for this week of meetings with the ministers. <br />
</p>
<h1 class="document-subsection">Preaching to our SDA Brethren</h1>
<p>
<!-- autolink_area_end --><span id="p68ce0a189b6d0dd849be790d0ba1cd86"></span><script type="text/javascript">loadPicasaImage('p68ce0a189b6d0dd849be790d0ba1cd86', 'picture_summary', 'A:XX-India', 'India2010-4.jpg', '', '', '', '', 'show-without-caption', 'false', '377');</script><!-- autolink_area_begin --><strong>Victor: </strong>The brethren in Bapatla asked me not to go on to the next city, but to stay and hold evening meetings to preach to their members the truths they had received.
</p>
<p>
Then the Conference president and other conference officials who were attending the meetings asked me if I would preach to our own SDA pastors as well, and I agreed. Seventy-five of our own pastors came and I preached to them four messages a day and to the whole group of 400-500 plus every night. God blessed in a wonderful way. Two Sunday-keeping pastors and 158 of their members were baptized and we started two new SDA churches in that area.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Mark:</strong> Also during these meetings, Pastor Daniel from Rajmundry came and visited us. He shared that after we left last year, he took Pastor Gill&rsquo;s outlines and shared them with Sunday-keeping pastors. 
</p>
<p>
<strong>Victor: </strong>Pastor Daniel wanted these men to come and hear what he heard last year and catch 
the vision as he did. And that&rsquo;s exactly what happened. These men 
couldn&rsquo;t wait to go back home to start preaching the message to others.
</p>
<p>
The brethren there continue to follow up, and only God knows the end result. This is a fruitful area and these brethren are working now to prepare 50 other villages for us to return and do likewise in November of this year. How can I say no? In fact I am looking for several volunteers to come with me to preach to as many people as possible.<br />
I was talking to one of the pastors recently and he tells me that twelve other non&ndash;SDA pastors and their churches converted to Adventism. Praise God!
</p>
<p>
<strong>Mark:</strong> We also enjoyed every morning going for a walk and meeting the ladies who work in the neighboring fields. We had the opportunity on those walks to witness in a small way to these Hindus and some Christians. After a week of us being there, they knew that we were Christians and some started to come to Pastor Gill for prayer.
</p>
<p>
<!-- autolink_area_end --><span id="p1c4f4ed5991f3b2a7540d25e9044a6b3"></span><script type="text/javascript">loadPicasaImage('p1c4f4ed5991f3b2a7540d25e9044a6b3', 'picture_summary', 'A:XX-India', 'India2010-6.jpg', '', '', '', '', 'show-without-caption', 'false', '377');</script><!-- autolink_area_begin -->A scientist working at the farm came to talk with Pastor Gill, and he shared and prayed with her. The farm's caretaker also came asking for prayer. We handed out books to these people and saw them reading and studying as if they were looking for hidden treasure.<br />
<br />
One day someone came running to Pastor Gill and asked him to come to the nearby home of one of the villagers. He went with the man and was brought to a young girl writhing on the floor and foaming at the mouth. He was told that this child would often have these fits and that sometimes they lasted for days. Pastor Gill immediately knelt down and began praying for her. He wasn't sure whether this seizure was purely biological, or if it was demonic. He prayed and asked the Lord to heal her and to break the hold of Satan and free her. 
</p>
<p>
When he opened his eyes, she was smiling up at him and the seizure was gone. The parents were so happy that their daughter was healed. As far as we know she has never had a seizure since that day. This news was spread all over the area. While Pastor Gill was in India he had many opportunities to pray for people. He doesn't know how many of them were healed, but this one was immediate and dramatic.<br />
</p>
<p>
On Sunday, I headed to the airport and flew home. Pastor Gill stayed behind and continued to preach in the tent meetings until February 11.<br />
<br />

All my audio sermons are now being transcribed and printed in book format in Telegu, the local language. When it is published, people will have our whole message in their own language and we will give those books out free in further evangelistic meetings.
</p>
<p>
It&rsquo;s an awesome experience to be part of the finishing of God&rsquo;s work in the earth. Those of you who have had a part by your giving and making it possible will share one day in the joy of seeing souls in the kingdom. I personally want to thank you for your gifts and your prayers, and pray the Lord to richly bless each of you in every way for your support.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Mark:</strong> All praise goes to God. He led on this trip in 2010 and we look forward to going back to India to work in His vineyard.
</p>

V.A. Gill
</p>
<p>
<em>Victor:</em> Mark Kiefiuk and I left  for India on January 15. 
</p>
<p>
The plan was for us to preach in three  different cities, to non-SDA pastor groups.
</p>
<!-- autolink_area_end --><span id="pdc12e67fbd381d882ee13f78debe5f7f"></span><script type="text/javascript">loadPicasaImage('pdc12e67fbd381d882ee13f78debe5f7f', 'picture_summary', 'A:XX-News', 'india2010-2.jpg', '', '', '', '', 'show-without-caption', 'false', '377');</script><!-- autolink_area_begin -->
<p>
The first place being Bapatla, five  days in each place, preaching&nbsp;four messages per day. Then moving  to Ponnuru, doing likewise to another group and then going to a third  place called Vinukonda, doing the same. 
</p>
<p>
We weren&rsquo;t long into the preaching  mode when Mark said to me, &ldquo;Pastor, you do the preaching, and I&rsquo;ll  do the praying. God is richly blessing your preaching.&rdquo; A plan we  mutually agreed upon after much discussion. Mark is a real prayer  warrior. I appreciate his companionship.
</p>
<p>
<em>Mark:</em> Pastor  Gill was so filled with the Holy Spirit and energy, I just stepped  back and allowed him to do all the preaching. Not like last year when  I took part in preaching, this time I just stayed back and watched  God move in a mighty way through Pastor Gill.
</p>
<p>
<em>Victor: </em>Mark decided to step  back from preaching, and focus on praying.  God richly blessed both  our efforts, as I preached up to six hours a day, and Mark continued  to pray for me even when he returned home after two weeks to prepare  his home church for evangelism. God heard and answered his prayers  along with those of many of yours I am sure.
</p>
<p>
<em>Mark: </em>On  Sabbath, January 16, in Hyderabad, we met a young man named  Praveendas and his uncle, Pastor Caleb, from Bapatla area. We drove  with them until midnight to the Bapatla area where would begin our  meetings with the pastors. 
</p>
<p>
On  Sunday, January 17th  we met the one who was in charge of arranging our meetings&mdash;Pastor  Caleb&rsquo;s brother and Praveendas&rsquo; father. His name was Pastor  Yesusdas and he was a medical worker in the government before he  became a Christian. 
</p>
<p>
He  first became a Baptist and then an Adventist. God put a dream on his  heart to have a pastor from overseas to come and preach to non-SDA  pastors, because he has a lot of friends and has good connections  with the pastors from other denominations.

We were connected with a wonderful  family full of honesty, integrity, and educational skills. They were  also involved in the community: the father was a Regional SDA Pastor  over 42 churches, and his two sons have State government positions,  are fluent in English, and able to translate with speed and accuracy. 
</p>
<p>
One son arranged for us to have a full  5-year visa to India, as up until now we have been going on short  tourist visas. The father&rsquo;s brother, a seasoned Adventist pastor  with administrative skills, gave strong leadership and organization.
</p>
<p>
<em>Mark: </em>Pastor Yesusdas really  has an incredible family. Praveendas (one of the sons) works with the  government. as an accountant.

Also during our time there, we moved from a hotel  into an old government agricultural farm area where we had a room to  stay. For Indian conditions, it was excellent. It may not be  considered that according to our North American standards but we were  very thankful. This was out in the country. It was a beautiful place  to be. We had a lizard as a pet which stayed with us the whole time  we were there. It assisted in keeping the mosquitoes away. God really  blessed.
</p>
<p>
We  continued the meetings on Tuesday, January 19, and the attendance  continued to grow as more Sunday-keeping pastors and their wives  started to attend.

<p>
&nbsp;
</p>
<p>
<strong>The Uprising</strong><br />
<em>Victor: </em>By  Wednesday, January 20th, the meetings grew to the point where people  had to sit outside. I covered four sermons. After the second sermon,  which was on the Sabbath, an uprising started to take place.
</p>
<p>
One man stood up and challenged me. As  he asked a question, I opened my Bible to answer it, but another man  stood up and started yelling in Telegu for the people to leave.  Everyone started yelling and pretty soon the whole place was in an  uproar. 
</p>
<p>
We dismissed the meeting for a break.  After 20 minutes, about 95% of the people came back into the  meetings. God moved. 
</p>
<p>
There was a lot of tension but I  preached another message on the two covenants and the change of the  Sabbath from Daniel 7. Mark continued to pray earnestly, calling out  for God&rsquo;s Spirit and His angels to stop the Enemy from distracting  these meetings.
</p>
<p>
<em>Mark:</em> At the end of the meeting, Pastor Caleb stayed to talk to the  ministers. He offered 100,000 rupees to anyone that could show one  text in Scripture that could prove that God changed the day of rest  from Sabbath to Sunday. Of course, no one came forward.
</p>
<p>
<em>Victor: </em>Thursday, January 21st,  I preached three meetings, beginning with the subject of the mark of  the Beast. We had an incredible attendance. It was larger than ever.  Everyone came back, even the men that caused the uprising. We had  over 100 Sunday-keeping pastors and their wives. 
</p>
<p>
<em>Mark:</em> While the message of the mark of the Beast was preached, you couldn&rsquo;t  hear a pin drop even though the sermon was 2 &frac12; hours long. You  we could see the hearts of people being moved as heads were nodding  in agreement. The Holy Spirit was moving in a mighty and powerful  way. At the end of that meeting, we stopped for lunch. The man that  asked the question that started the uprising came to apologize to  Pastor Gill. It was incredible to see him kneeling down and praying  together with Pastor Gill. Praise the Lord for how the Holy Spirit  moved upon that man&rsquo;s heart. 
</p>
<p>
&nbsp;
</p>
<p>
<em>Victor: </em>During the lunch break,  the man that asked the question that started the uprising came to  apologize to me. It was wonderful to see the Holy Spirit&rsquo;s work of  restoration. 
</p>
<p>
<em>Mark: </em>Some of the messages  were difficult for the people to accept. Commotion arose a second  time, but again, through prayer and the influence of our Adventist  brethren and others who supported the message, peace was restored  again. 
</p>
<p>
Christopher,  a lawyer and a Christian from Hyderabad, came up to meet with us on  Friday. He is not a member of the SDA church, but loves the Lord and  believes the message about Sabbath he heard Pastor Gill preach about  3 years ago. He has been instrumental in arranging both last year&rsquo;<span lang="en-CA">s  meetings</span> and this  year&rsquo;s. He is very much involved behind the scenes and a  well-respected man. 
</p>
<p>
When  he heard the commotion that was taking place, he was stirred and  spoke for about half an hour to the pastors.  It was a powerful  message that only served to impress the crowd further that the  message they were hearing was the truth. 
</p>
<p>
Pastor  Gill then preached the final sermon on the unpardonable sin. He  preached about two hours. He asked for a show of hands of who  accepted these truths and 50% raised their hands. It was an  incredible ending for this week of meetings with the ministers. 
</p>
<p>
&nbsp;
</p>
<p>
<strong>Preaching to our SDA  Brethren</strong><br />
<!-- autolink_area_end --><span id="pb64e6705e853f28d60c94401fec60b76"></span><script type="text/javascript">loadPicasaImage('pb64e6705e853f28d60c94401fec60b76', 'picture_summary', 'A:XX-News', 'india2010-4.jpg', '', '', '', '', 'show-without-caption', 'false', '377');</script><!-- autolink_area_begin --><em>Victor: </em>The brethren in Bapatla asked me not  to go any further, but to stay and hold evening meetings to preach to  their members the truths they had received. I saw light in that and  decided to comply.
</p>
<p>
Then the Conference president and other  conference officials who were attending the meetings asked me if I  would preach to our own SDA pastors as well, and I agreed.  Seventy-five of our own pastors came and I preached to them four  messages a day and to the whole group of 400-500 plus every night. 
</p>
<p>
God blessed in a wonderful way.&nbsp;  Two Sunday-keeping pastors and 158 of their members were baptized and  we started two new SDA churches in that area.
</p>
<p>
<em>Mark: </em>Also  during these meetings, Pastor Daniel from Rajmundry came and visited  us. He shared that after we left last year, he took Pastor Gill&rsquo;s  outlines and shared it with Sunday-keeping pastors. Two of the  Sunday-keeping churches converted to Sabbath keeping. He is still  working with more Sunday-keeping ministers. He shared with me after I  returned home to Penticton that two more Sunday keeping churches  converted to Sabbath keeping. 
</p>
<p>
<em>Victor: </em>The brethren there  continue to follow up, and only God knows the end result. This is a  fruitful area and these brethren are working now to prepare 50 other  villages for us to return and do likewise in November of this year.  How can I say no? In fact I am looking for several volunteers to come  with me to preach to as many people as possible.
</p>
<p>
I was talking to one of the pastors  recently and he tells me that twelve other non&ndash;SDA pastors and  their churches converted to Adventism. Praise God!
</p>
<p>
<em>Mark: </em>We also enjoyed every  morning going for a walk and meeting those ladies going to work in  the fields around where we were staying. The government agriculture  farm was many acres in size. We had the opportunity on those walks to  witness in a small way to these Hindus and some Christians. After a  week of us being there, they knew that we were Christians and some  started to come to the Pastor for prayer. God led one lady who was a  scientist working at the farm who heard of us come to talk with  Pastor Gill. He shared and prayed with her. The caretaker of where we  stayed also came asking for prayer. We would hand out books to these  people and you would then see them reading and studying these books  as if they were looking for hidden treasure.
</p>
<p>
&nbsp;
</p>
<p>
One  day someone came running to Pastor Gill and asked him to come to the  nearby home of one of the villagers. He went with the man and was  brought to the side of a young girl writhing on the floor and foaming  at the mouth. He was told that this child would have these fits  really often and that sometimes they lasted for days. Pastor Gill  immediately knelt down and began praying for her. He wasn't sure  whether this was a real seizure or demonic. He prayed and asked the  Lord to heal her and if this was demonic, to break the hold of Satan  and to free her. 
</p>
<p>
When  he opened his eyes, she was smiling up at him and the seizure was  gone. The parents were so happy that their daughter was healed. As  far as we know she has never had a seizure since that day. This news  was spread all over the area. While Vic was in India he had many  opportunities to pray for people. He doesn't know how many of them  were healed, but this one was immediate and dramatic.
</p>
<p>
On  Sunday, I headed to the airport and flew home. Pastor Gill stayed  behind and continued to preach in the tent meetings until February  11.
</p>
<p>
&nbsp;
</p>
<p>
<em>Victor: </em>We have made progress in  other areas as well: <br />
All my audio sermons are now being  transcribed and printed in book format in Telegu, the local language.  When it is published, people will have our whole message in their own  language and we will give those books out free in further  evangelistic meetings.
</p>
<p>
There are many more stories I could  tell, but space only permits me to mention one highlight. Pastor  Daniel Koylada, who translated for me last year, came to see me in  Bapatla and brought with him three other pastors who have been  converted to Adventism as a result of his preaching and all their  members are now keeping the Sabbath as well. He wanted these men to  come and hear what he heard last year and catch the vision as he  did.&nbsp;And that&rsquo;s exactly what happened. These men couldn&rsquo;t  wait to go back home to start preaching our message to others.
</p>
<p>
It&rsquo;s an awesome experience to be part  of the finishing of God&rsquo;s work in the earth. Those of you who have  had a part by your giving and making it possible will share one day  in the joy of seeing souls in the kingdom. I personally want to thank  you for your gifts and your prayers, and pray the Lord to richly  bless each of you in every way for your support.
</p>
<p>
<em>Mark: </em>All  praise goes to God. He led on this trip in 2010 and we look forward  to going back to India to work in His vineyard.
</p>
<p>
Sincerely,
</p>
<p>
His unworthy servants,
</p>
<p>
Pastor Victor Gill and Mark Kiefiuk<br />

            <title>10.03.23 - Amazing Discoveries Broadcasting</title>
            <link>http://amazingdiscoveries.org/index.php?q=amazing-discoveries-broadcasting.html</link>
            <description><![CDATA[ <img align="left" alt="BROADCASTING TO THE WORLD" border="0" src="img/Broadcast-Background-1.png" style="margin: 5px" width="250" />
<p>
<strong>Breaking News!!! As of May 2010, we are going on satellite!</strong> - <strong><a href="amazing-discoveries-satellite-information.html">Satellite Information</a></strong>
</p>
<p>
We
will broadcasting all of your favorite series by Walter Veith, Brian 
Neumann, and Victor Gill on the Galaxy 19 satellite along with 3ABN, 
Loma Linda Channel, Amazing Facts, and others!&nbsp;
</p>
<p>
This satellite will reach all across the US and Canada 
including Alaska, Hawaii, the Caribbean, and even Central America.&nbsp; Now 
you and your friends can enjoy all the series you have come to love so 
well over the years including <em>Total Onslaught , Genesis Conflict, 
Life At It's Best</em>,&nbsp; and much much more. <br />
</p>
<p>
We are so excited about this new opportunity that God has opened for 
us. Satellite broadcast will enable us to
reach millions of people with the last-day message - much more and much 
farther than we could have ever reached in person. Galaxy 19 has over 5 
million potential viewers. We are so humbled and, at the same time, 
thrilled for this enormous opportunity to reach so many. 
</p>
<p>
But the costs are going to be substantial - each month we 
will need $25,000 to pay for the uplink and broadcast costs. 
</p>
<p>
Not only that, this new expansion also requires changes
to our location and facility. In order to be able to create more 
programming,
we need a new larger facility. This facility needs to not only allow for
a
suitable place for video-taping new programs and series by our speakers,
but
also provide sufficient office space for our expanding operations. Up 
until now
we have been operating out of the basement of a home, and our work space
is severely
cramped, and filming is difficult. 
</p>
<p>
<img align="right" height="188" hspace="5" src="img/AD-building.jpg" style="margin: 5px" width="250" />We have been praying for many months that God would find
a location for us that will allow His work to go forward. And just at 
the same time, that God opened the doors for broadcasting, He also 
provided a facility in answer to our prayers.<span></span> We are 
currently finalizing the downpayment for a
suitable facility that provides us with multiple office space, ample 
parking,
and a studio space big enough for our needs. God is so good and our 
hearts are humbled and encouraged by the way God has sustained us thus 
far and brought us to a position where we can consider such large-scale 
evangelism. 
</p>
<p>
We are going to need another $500,000 to be able
to complete this purchase and set up the facility for broadcasting. 
</p>
<p>
We
believe God opened the way for these exciting changes because it is 
time for the three angels' messages to be proclaimed worldwide. We know 
He is coming soon and time is short and if He brought us here, He will 
also finish what He started and provide the funding necessary to obtain 
the building, set up the broadcasts and maintain them. 
</p>
<p>
We know you have been blessed over the years with the 
messages from Walter Veith, Brian Neumann, and Victor Gill. These 
dedicated speakers have given their entire lives for the proclamation of
the end-time message.&nbsp; From within and without the Church, we are 
receiving reports and stories of lives changed and blessed as a result. 
</p>
<p>
The Total Onslaught series has also been translated into 
Spanish and is now being broadcast by Red Advenir across South America 
southern United States, and in the Philippines. Yes, the message is 
beginning to reach the world.&nbsp;
</p>
<p>
We urgently need your prayers for this ministry as we embark on this 
much larger project than we've ever done before. Please pray for us that
we will spotlight the Adventist truth in all its purity. We crave the 
Holy Spirit's guidance as never before, and are keenly aware of the 
devil's attacks. Please include us in your prayers that we will not 
falter in proclaiming the three angels' messages as far as we are able 
to reach. 
</p>
<p>
We pray that you will also share in our joy of seeing how 
God is working and ask if you would be willing to<a href="webstore/us/donations-general.html"> help us financially</a> with the broadcasting of the end-time message and all that it involves, 
including the purchase of
this new facility. We ask you to give as the Lord impresses you. We know
that
He is faithful and is able to provide all our needs. If you would like 
to be a financial partner in the loud cry message with Amazing 
Discoveries, you can make your <strong><a href="webstore/us/donations-general.html">donation online</a></strong>, or call our office at: 
1-866-572-9457. You can also mail your donation to: PO Box 4480 Blaine, 
WA 98231-4480.&nbsp;
</p>
<p>
Stay tuned for more updates on how to receive the 
satellite broadcast in your area, and to hear more stories of how God is
using this message to bring eternal life to a world in its final 
decades.

            <description><![CDATA[ <strong></strong>You may have noticed the new design of our website and store. <br />
<br />
Not
only is the look new, but we've added additional features to enhance 
user experience, and to make more of our website accessible and 
appealing to our visitors. <br />
<br />
Our website is fast becoming one of the best resources for end-time 
deceptions and solid Adventist messages, with much more still in plan. 
Some of the features and benefits you can now access on our website: <br />
<br />
<ul>
	<li><strong>Magazine
	Archive -</strong> Access main articles from every past issue of our magazine <em>Faith
	on the Line</em> right back to our very first issue date. If you've just
	recently joined our subscription list for this magazine, or if you no 
	longer have copies of our old issues, you can find most of our articles 
	in our archive. Enjoy re-reading articles by Walter Veith, Brian 
	Neumann, Victor Gill, Rudy Davis, and many more. And if you don't already receive our newsletter, sign up for our beautiful full-color magazine that will arrive at your door once a quarter for only $20 a year (for Canadian and US subscriptions).&nbsp; </li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li><strong>Digital Library -</strong> Now you can hear sermons by Walter Veith, and 
	other speakers in our Digial Audio Library. Many people have wanted to re-listen to sermons by our speakers given over the years. Now visitors to our site will be able to do so in our Digital Audio Library.&nbsp; </li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li><strong>Source Research Archive - </strong>Want to do your own research or trying to locate a 
	reference from Walter Veith's DVD series? Check our website. Chances are
	you'll find just what you're looking for in our new Research section. Here 
	you'll find copies of sources quoted in <em>Total Onslaught, </em>and <em>Reformation 
	Rekindled,</em> as well as additional helpful reading such as e-books that support the information in our DVD series. Now you can verify everything you hear and even get much more than what was presented, just by visiting our Source Research Library. Besides that, we've added additional helpful links in the sidebar of our articles 
	where visitors can find supporting evidence to enhance what they are reading. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li><strong>Picture Galleries - </strong>Pictures can say a thousand words. Our new 
	picture galleries help our fabulous in-depth articles show,&nbsp; not just 
	tell. Throughout our Article Library you'll find strategically placed 
	photos and picture galleries that help explain and verify the 
	fulfillment of prophecy and the nearness of Christ's second coming. Not
	only that, but our articles are also enhanced with <strong>video clips</strong> that add
	additional support to the content. 
	</li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li><strong>In-Depth Bible Studies in our Article Library -</strong> Our website covers a large variety of 
	Biblical topics in-depth. This is not possible to do with just one 
	article. So, we've shortened our articles and created an intricate web that links together in evangelistic format. A new visitor to our site 
	will be able to find a series of articles on all subjects in a typical 
	evangelistic series plus much more. Each topic has its own <strong>simplified
	and structured overview </strong>that helps the reader know where they are 
	in the topic, and how many more articles there are in that particular 
	topical study. Articles on the authenticity of the Bible, the sanctuary,
	the law, the Sabbath, the mark of the beast, Daniel and Revelation, death, 
	the spirit of prophecy, and much much more are all covered with many 
	more articles being added weekly. Online Bible studies are still 
	available for visitors to sign up for just as with any evangelistic 
	seminar. We urge you to take advantage of all the time and resources spent on this section to provide in-depth and compelling articles on current events and the Bible. Visit our Library and share it with others.&nbsp; </li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li><strong>Improved Store -</strong> our new store provides easy access to products, 
	easy checkout, and related products that offers visitors a quick 
	overview of every product related to their interest. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li><strong>Opportunities to Share -</strong> In our links section, banners are now available for you to download and use to place on your own website where you can direct your visitors to visit our site. Many versions are available, so visit our Links Page and help us tell others about Jesus' soon coming. Watch for more opportunities to work with us in sharing the message.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li><strong>Support System - </strong>this is a feature we added six months ago in our long process of upgrading our website. Now you can ask a question or peruse our Knowledge Base to see if your question has already been answered previously. All your questions are kept track of, so that you can go back again and again to review the reply. </li>
</ul>
<p>
&nbsp;
</p>
<p>
We are still in the process of implementing some of these features, so please bear with us as we work towards implementing all of these features more fully throughout the website.&nbsp;

            <link>http://amazingdiscoveries.org/index.php?q=ADBlog-Brian-Neumann-on-Tour-in-North-America.html</link>
            <description><![CDATA[ <p>
Brian Neumann will be on tour in North America in February and March 2010, with stops in Burnaby, BC, Lacombe, Alberta, and the Bronx, New York. He will be presenting his two distinct and informatin-packed series in these locations: 
</p>
<p>
<strong>Spirit of Prophecy -</strong> This four-part series from Brian Neumann helps us understand how God 
communicates to His people through the prophetic gift. Explore with us the Biblical reasons God chose prophecy as a method of 
communicating with sinful humanity. Discover the Biblical tools for 
discerning a true prophet from a false one.
</p>
<p>
and <strong>Sound of Music </strong>- This exciting series helps listeners understand the language of music 
and the role it plays in the lives of people living in the 21st century.
The power of music as a means of communicating human emotions is 
presented in logical, clear, and practical terms. <br />
<br />
Those at the forefront of the industry clearly explain the origins of 
contemporary popular music, the philosophy, and the spiritual 
motivations that guide and inspire it.<br />
<br />
Neumann exposes contemporary Christian music and &quot;user-friendly&quot; worship
trends to the light of Biblical authority. The climax of the series is a
practical guide to help you discern between inferior and superior music
forms in both secular and worship environments.

            <title>10.01.01 - Sonica Veith New Year Update</title>
            <link>http://amazingdiscoveries.org/index.php?q=ADBlog-Sonica-Veith-New-Year-Update.html</link>
            <description><![CDATA[ Dear Friends,<br />
<br />
This is the first of 365 days of new challenges, hopes and goals as we enter the spiritual arena of our final preparation for the return of the King of Heaven. What a privilege to be part of this era that God&rsquo;s people through the ages prophesied about and looked forward to.<br />
<br />
As many of you may know, on 5 October 2009 I had a bad fall, the injuries being described by the surgeon as &lsquo;unusual&rsquo;, resembling more the injuries incurred in a car accident. <br />
<br />
It was 6:30 am and our daughter had just made her way to her car to leave for work, when I realized that we had not prayed with her for protection on the treacherous dirt roads and the busy national roads.&nbsp; I rushed out to remind her, when I tripped over a couple of poles and in a split second our lives changed forever.&nbsp; I was flung high into the air in a most unusual way and came crashing down onto the rough paving with such force that I could feel and hear the flesh of my arm tear and the bones in my hip crack. My head landed a few centimeters away from the wall. Walter managed to get me into the back of the 4X4 and we traveled the agonizing 28km dirt road and another 27km tar road to the nearest hospital and from there another 90km in the back of the car to the hospital where the surgery would take place, all without a painkiller. <br />
<br />
To make a long story short, during the surgery the surgeon placed the severed ball in the hip into formalin for analyses, (which later showed no osteoporosis or other weakness), when he realized that the socket and parts of the pelvis were also shattered.&nbsp; It was too late to use my own bone for bone grafts, so now the search was on for artificial bone. After a lengthy search bone was found and was immediately sent by courier, but there was a police road blockade on the only road to the hospital. The local police eventually managed to get the courier vehicle through and delivered the bone some 6 hours later.&nbsp; That meant that I was on the operating table and under anesthetic for 11 hours instead of the usual 3 hours. <br />
<br />
But that was not all. I had lost too much blood and they had to send for four units of blood. Just before the sister hooked up the second unit she noticed with a startle that this one bag of blood was the wrong type.&nbsp; hree times the Adversary tried to end my life and three times the Lord saved it. Why did He not let me die? Could it be that Jesus still had some unfinished business with me?<br />
<br />
Due to the nature of the injury, I was not allowed to place any weight on the leg for 3 months, in order to allow my own bone to grow into the artificial bone. Total healing will probably take about a year.&nbsp; Just a few months previous to the accident we had bought a small caravan to travel with and do the Lord&rsquo;s work from one place to the next. What a disappointment for both of us!&nbsp; Now I was confined to my bed, wheel chair and crutches and Walter had to care for me, do the cooking and housekeeping, work on the farm and still keep his evangelistic appointments. This was the most grueling time of our lives, and yet God used the time to rearrange our minds, to help us see new perspectives and walk with a more determined step on the road that He has set before us.<br />
<br />
We both underwent a period of introspection, and as Paul said, we both realized how miserably we &lsquo;fall short of the glory of God&rsquo; and how unworthy and unprepared we are to meet our Saviour. Like Moses in Egypt or Peter drawing his sword for his Master in Jerusalem, Walter had fought against the powers and principalities to uphold the truth, but often he felt he was getting nowhere and his strength was failing more and more. The opposition to the message was getting stronger and many times he wanted to run like Elijah from Jezebel and lie under a juniper tree, ready to die. But he continued his journey to Horeb, to the place where God revealed His Law and His character and it is here that he hears God speak in a &lsquo;still small voice&rsquo;. Now he realizes the battle is not his, but the Lord&rsquo;s. Now he is ready to lay down his sword and take up a staff for tending the flocks in the wilderness as did Moses.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />
<br />
&ldquo;Moses was naturally of an impetuous spirit. In Egypt a successful military leader and a favorite with the king and the nation, he had been accustomed to receiving praise and flattery. He had attracted the people to himself. He hoped to accomplish by his own powers the work of delivering Israel. Far different were the lessons he had to learn as God's representative. As he led his flocks through the wilds of the mountains and into the green pastures of the valleys, he learned faith and meekness, patience, humility, and self-forgetfulness. He learned to care for the weak, to nurse the sick, to seek after the straying, to bear with the unruly, to tend the lambs, and to nurture the old and the feeble.<br />
<br />
In this work Moses was drawn nearer to the Chief Shepherd. He became closely united to the Holy One of Israel. No longer did he plan to do a great work. He sought to do faithfully as unto God the work committed to his charge.&rdquo; {HDL 14.1}<br />
<br />
If we are too busy, even with the Lord&rsquo;s work, to listen to the prompting voice of God in times of ease and prosperity, we will be brought through times of trouble and hardship to learn the lessons the hard way. <br />
<br />
With renewed vigour, Walter now started a new series, quite different from his previous ones and, God willing, we hope to record it by July 2010.&nbsp; He has titled this series &lsquo;Total Transformation&rsquo; - a walk through the types and experiences of ancient Israel as a lamp unto the feet of modern spiritual Israel, a guideline for our final preparation just before entering the heavenly Canaan.<br />
<br />
I too have set my priorities straight and have probably read and studied more in the last 3 months than in the past 5 years with all the farm duties previously taking preeminence.&nbsp; A much-needed transformation from Martha to Mary has taken place.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Our only safeguard against the wiles of Satan is to diligently study the Scriptures; to have an intelligent understanding of the reasons of our faith; and to faithfully perform every known duty. The indulgence of one known sin will cause weakness and darkness, and subject us to fierce temptation.&rdquo; {HS 154.6}<br />
<br />
Why am I sending you all this?&nbsp; Well, we have received so many enquiries from all over the world about what is happening in the world, in our church and in Walter Veith&rsquo;s ministry, that we decided to send out a short update to keep you abreast of our situation. There has been much speculation and misinformation concerning Walter and his lectures and, in the future, we hope to iron out some of the problems by providing further updates.<br />
<br />
Please pray for us this year, for as we near the end of time there are sure to be obstacles and challenges more stout than those of the past, but, as a good friend says, &ldquo;Trials seen as educators will produce joy.&rdquo;&nbsp; And this is what we wish you all and ourselves for the new year &ndash; a joy in Christ that the world does not know, and a steadfastness to stand, whatever happens.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Men and women are wanted now who are as true to duty as the needle to the pole, men and women who will work without having their way smoothed and every obstacle removed.&rdquo; {CEv 57.1}&nbsp; <br />
