Elisabeth Luke 1: 39-46*vs.41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:

HOPE ORPHANGE - CARREFOUR, HAITI God's richest Blessing on and our Thanks to Mike Parenteau / Bethel Church, St Paul, Alberta. In February,2018, Mike Parenteau again traveled to Haiti to check on Hope Orphanage and bring back the annual paper work for the Bellis Mission. While there he bought food, charcoal and soap, and paid some teachers wages for the month ($50.00) and every time he visited he brought treats, "potato chips" which they had never tasted, and ice cream, appl...es or candy at other times, and had a good time with the children. He also checked up on the well project. His report included the need for a greater quantity of food per month, medicine for their heads, and help to pay the monthly electricity bill. Thanks to the giving hearts of God's people the over due electricity bill has been paid. This is a picture of Mikes (Haiti) car, loaded to the ground with food. He has rebuilt the motor once and repaired it after each of several accidents. The driver / orphanage director, (Sadrac Saintus),uses it all year for a taxi so he can make enough to eat and feed his family. Every donated dollar goes to caring for these kids. Please help.

These are the water stations in the Krishna delta area in India, set up on the side of the road, always attended by a Christian volunteer. The temperature can rise to 50 Celsius during the month of June and field workers and people walking from village to village many times collapse from heat stroke and dehydration. This is a very practical way to share the love of Jesus and serve those he gave His Life for. $70.00 covers the cost of the shelter, pots and a steady supply of water for the entire season. There is never a drop left over at the end of each day. Whoever gives a cup of water to drink in my name....Jesus said truly you will not lose your reward...Mark 9:41

Help us set up more stations for the month of June (until the rains start) , the temperature reached 50 Celsius in this area last year in the month of June.

MARK 9:41 FOR WHOSOEVER SHALL GIVE...A CUP OF WATER TO DRINK IN MY NAME...I (JESUS) SAY...HE SHALL NOT LOSE HIS REWARD... In the Krishna area of India there is ...drought and extreme temperatures that will last through the month of June. Bellis Mission has been working in this area and 100 villages have opened up to the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We have received reports from some of the Pastors and they are having several funerals a week of people dying of thirst, heat stroke. It is mostly among people walking from village to village, field workers, out in the blazing sun, the canals have no water and many bored wells, (normal places to access water) are not producing water at this time. People begin to panic and it is serious. The Pastors could set up a water station, bamboo sticks for a frame, large leaves for shade and a container for water and a deal with a water vendor, so they could supply a life saving drink of cool water to those walking, working or with no money to buy water. This heat will last through the month of June and to cover the cost of the water station, materials, water container, and supply of drinking water would cost $70.00 for the whole month. Each station would be manned by a believer and the opportunity to minister and meet the needs of these little ones would be endless. If your heart is touched to GIVE A CUP OF WATER TO DRINK....contact us ASAP...time is of the essence. After we receive the $70.00 the water station can be up and running within 24-36 hours. God Bless You. Mathew 10:42. See more

There was great excitement as these village women attended their first ever women's meeting on September 21 and 22, 2017. We were blessed to have this time to preach the Word of God and to strengthen and equip a host of Christian women as they raise their families and influence their villages. By the end of the meetings there were also 230 women who received Christ as Savior and 140 indicated they wanted water baptism. The Gospel of Christ...it is the power of God unto Salvation to everyone who believes...Romans 1:16

MESSAGE TO SHEKINAH CHURCH IN NARSAPUR, INDIA Our Brother, Friend, a Father,and Pastor has been promoted to Glory today May 29, 2017. Brother Satyanandam was us...ed greatly by the Lord. We thank God for His obedience to follow the call of God on His life which in turn gave us a powerful entry into the purpose of God in this area of India and helped establish our vision for Missions. The Words from Isaiah 40, Comfort ye, (be comforted my people), our Brothers battle is over - we know all flesh is grass and the grass withers and, the flower fades: but THE WORD OF OUR GOD, who is THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE, SHALL STAND FOREVER. To the beloved saints of God - BEHOLD YOUR GOD - He shall feed (YOU) His flock - like a shepherd He shall gather (YOU) and carry (YOU) and gently lead you. Lift your eyes on high - have you not heard that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, faints not, neither is weary - He GIVES POWER TO THE FAINT and increases strength. For they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength: We pray for renewed strength and vision and confidence to continue in the Way of the Lord. MESSAGE TO FAMILY AND CHURCH FROM BRO. MIKE STAHL Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to Esther, Livingston, Robert and Judy and the Church at Narsapur, I send these greetings with a sad and heavy heart since I heard that your Father, Pastor and my Friend left us to be with His wife and His Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul in 1 Thess 4:13 tells us that we sorrow after our loved ones but not as the world sorrows that have no hope, cause we know that our Dear Brother closed his eyes here and woke up on that Sea of Glass. He has now joined that Redeemed and RANSOMED throng Rev 4:6 I first met our Dear Brother Satyanandam back in 1976 in Hyderbad, India. I was only a young man, 21 years old, and it was my first time in India. When I first met Him we instantly bonded together, and I knew that I had found a friend and brother. It has been a pleasure and joy to work with him in India, preaching the Gospel of our Lord and Savior. And to the Church in Narsapur "Shekinah Prayer Church". I will weep and mourn with you over your loss, but if we keep holding onto those nail scared hands to the end, if we keep walking with our Lord, we will see our Dear Brother Satyanandam again. We will all, very soon, hand in hand, walk together beside that River of Life, and so shall we ever be with our Lord and Savior. With your prayers and if our Lord tarries, we hope to see you all sometime in the near future. Keep holding onto Jesus for that day of our Lord is fast approaching. I Love you Esther, Livingstone, Robert, Judy and the whole Church. Yours for the Lost, Brother Mike Stahl. See more

Nehemiah:- When I heard it was broken down...I wept and prayed before the God of Heaven...I said you are a God who keeps your promises...let your ears hear what we pray for these people. Then I went to a few men and said do you see the distress, the broken down walls...lets build so this will not be a reproach against the Lord...So they set their hands to this good work...The God of Heaven, he will prosper us...we will arise and build...so we labored in the work and the walls... were finished...and when the enemy and the heathen saw these things...they now knew this work was done by our God.- The village in these pictures had a wonderful visitation by God in the form of a New Testament miracle of healing in the name of Jesus...the heart of the village was turned towards the Lord that made the heavens and the earth. A severe storm destroyed the thatch church that they were gathering in. Since then they have been gathering outdoors under the blazing sun or rain and wind. There is no other church of any kind in this village and never has been since Jesus walked this earth. If there is any place on this planet to build a place to house worshipers this is it. It would be such a shame that we sit in our wonderful, ornate houses and this little parcel of land in a rural village in India would lie waste and gather debris and squatters while it could be a vibrant, bright, full of Joy, full of hope Center for a people who only just heard the good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The first phase of the Church is completed, all the labor done by the new believers, and they are waiting for the funds to put the steel sheeting on the roof and walls. Pray that this need will be met and that their Joy will be made full. See more

NOAH ABDUL KARIM - MISSIONARY WITH BELLIS MISSION FOR 30 YEARS IN GHANA, WEST AFRICA - ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH THIS MINISTRY UNION: De-radicalization of Muslim's in this area - Peace among the tribal factions - Open invitation from every village Chief with offer of free land for Evangelical ministries to come into the villages and build churches. 17 works built in the area including day schools, Christian libraries, Churches, small businesses, tree planting, etc., and a technic...al school to train the youth (80% Muslim) majority converted to Christianity before leaving the school. PLEASE READ Dear Family of God in Bellis, ...A Government Board has decided to help private schools with new iron beds for students dorms at a very reduced price...100 double beds ( which will accomodate 200 students) at the cost of $450.00 Canadian $'s. The same 100 beds would cost us $3,500.00 if we purchased them from the market here in Ghana. Our students have no beds at all and sleep on mats on the bare floor, which poses some health hazards. Our target for September 20, 2016 academic year admissions is to admit between 200 and 300 students. This offer has a very short notice and any delay could lead to other schools taking them all, we covet very much your prayers concerning this urgent need to enable us to purchase these students beds. Yours Ever For Jesus Christ, BRO. NOAH ABDUL-KARIM See more

35 days since I experienced an "Inter cranial bleed". I Thank My Lord and Savior, our deliverer Jesus Christ the altogether Lovely One, for bringing me through and for His Presence as I slowly walk through the long healing process. I want to thank everyone for your prayers and standing in Faith with me. May the Lord Bless you and surround you in your time of need. His promise; I am with you always...Matt 28:20 In Christ....Sharon Payne/Gibb

As of yesterday Sharon is home from her time in the hospital. Saturday morning she was rushed to the U of A Hospital due to extreme pain in her head and neck, it was later discovered that she had suffered a bleed in the brain. Every day she got stronger and better and the Dr's said that she had the best case scenario, God truly did a miracle! She and her family would like to thank everyone for their faithful prayers through all of this, it has truly helped her through. She still has the recovery process to go through so we just ask that everyone would keep praying and give her time to visit and answer phone calls when she is ready. God bless -Roberta
