Mission to the Cape Verde IslandsIn April, I will be heading to the Cape Verde Islands out in the Atlantic to preach revival in as many churches as I can. This is a land that has been under Catholic oppression for centuries. The tiny community of born-again Christians have labored under persecution to hinder everything they try to do. There has been enormous religious resistance to any move of God. But the Christians that are there have a courage and determination that is fueled by their desperation. They are determined to see God move in a true Holy Ghost Revival in thier country. What we need more than anything is Bibles. There are NO Bible Book Stores in Cape Verde, so getting your hands on one is a challenge, especially when the religious institutions are resisting it so they can retain their control and domination. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to deliver a strong challenge for Faith to storm into the spritiual battle and overcome all the spiritual warefare that comes against those who hold up the Blood Stained Banner ... and not give them the Bread of Life to feed that Faith and strengthen them spiritually to do the things you just challenged them to do. It's like telling them, "Be thou warmed and filled." We have found 810 Bibles in their navtive language but we need $4,500 to purchase them. I also need a goodly number of English Bibles and will need another $1,000 to buy them and ship them to Cape Verde. Can you help? Would you ask God if He wants you to contribute to this
cause?
Below is some of the correspondence I have had with Pastor King in the Cape Verde Islands. I encourage you to contact him and listen to the zeal, faith, and desperate hunger for revival that they have. You will be so edified. Pastor King, godatwork.com33@yahoo.com Telephone: Read Pastor Kings latest email about preparations for this mission trip. Other Emails from Pastor Kings: I praise God for your ministerial Life style dale. I never knew we still have your type today. Thanks for correcting and directing me aright too. My Names are: Kings Nnanna Ogbonnia. Tel. +238 -

With the
unveiling of your ministerial policies in the last letter, I think it made
things easier,
And for sure,
with the present Spiritual hunger and Unity amongst ministers in the City of
Praia, I foresee we’ll be having a full house of Pastors and Church Workers from
different Churches.
For Bibles,
less than 70 Percent of Christians here have no bible.
For local and
cheap western food I promise you’ll have enough even the cheapest lodging that’s
if you won’t like to share in my small apartment. For transportation that won’t be a problem too, I believe in team work and can always share in any of the expenses that you deem necessary. Thanks DALE & may God provide as useal.
Our Church is
Situated at Achada StºAntonio the Government forbidden area for only Pentecostal
Churches in the Capital Territory -Praia
So being the
First Pentecostal Church Ever to Penetrate Achada we fought a 6 month straight
battle. But now they have no choice but to start acclimatizing with us and enjoy
our Micro Benevolent Outreach through which we share cloths, foot wears, and
food to the Deprived Kids and Mothers around the area.( I can say they left us
for a season now)
So apart from
ministering in the Churches that are within the Praia Municipal, your two weeks
stay could take you to rural communities like
Cidade Velha,
Orgaos, Calheta,Picos
and probably
Pedro Badejo Drug rehabilitation Centre. And if Possible I
will like you to also Storm Bouvista Island but that will require taking a boat
or flight to get to the Island.
The Moment
your coming is confirmed, I will waist no time to start getting brethrens
together in all this places.
The cost of Cheaping and custom duty for Claiming them out from the hands of the
Custom will be very costly,
Though on reaching there I and another Outreach Ministry that came from Sao.Tome
Republic arrived the same day. So the Firm that has the Consighnments is
considering to divide it inbetween our ministry and the other Outreach Ministry
by next week.
And as for bringing it into Praia, that woun't be a problem, I can foot the
bill, I know that before i will spend 200 Dollars, am sure i will get it to
Praia and into the Church Store.
You know i didn't tell you. My first son was the one you called last time on
925-4205. He is the Resident Pastor here. Very Dynamic and end time Revival
Councious, he has the same voice with me and he is Pastor Prince by name and 22
years old. So calling him means calling me too incase my number is not through
due to th network i use.
On Speaking of Portugues as you asked, not fluently because this country speaks
´´Crioule´´ which is like Pigon English to Portuguese. So i have a very educated
and holy ghost filled Interpriter who helps to pass the message across
accurately.
We praise God daily for your life, your family and ministry Dale!
