Our small team of Brad Mayer, Chris Ward and Romanian evangelist Levi Szandai  touched many lives in villages in the far eastern region of Hungary in May.    Many villages in this part of the world have a 'gypsy street' where there is often a lot of poverty.  We prayed for the sick, led people to Christ and taught about evangelism in both homes and in a local church.   

The city/island/nation of Singapore is not large in size, but is large in influence.   It's five million plus people from many nationalities live in this Asian economic powerhouse with one of the busiest ports in the world.   We ministered to many leaders in March 2019 including several pastors and professionals.   Our prayer is that God's hand continues to be on the nation of Singapore and on the young, influential leaders who are making a difference in the world from there.

March 2019 saw some powerful times of ministry in Papua, Indonesia where we ministered in a number of different locations, both urban and rural.  Our mission is always to exhort the church to reach out and that we did.  In the city of Sentani we ministered for three days and then left just hours before a flash flood devastated the city causing many lives to be lost and thousands to become homeless.    The believers who we ministered to were immediately called into action where they were able to reach out to the hurting in their own city.   

Our time in Cambodia and V***nam in November was filled with meeting amazing people that are serving God in a part of the world that desperately needs the Gospel.   It was a time of equipping in two nations that unfortunately have seen some of the worst of humanity.   The V***nam war and the Khmer Rouge genocide in Cambodia have left scars on this nation - but the power of the Gospel is making a difference.

In Cambodia, we taught in Phnom Penh to leaders from across the nation.  They were equipped in the area of evangelism and put their training into practice right away as we heard reports of them reaching out in unprecedented ways right after we left. 

In V***nam, we appreciate your prayers as we visited believers near Hanoi and Saigon.  Pray for the church in these two nations - the challenges they face are real.

In October 2018, Canadian Fire was privileged to be a part of Panama para Cristo (Panama for Christ) which was a year long evangelistic movement that led over 100,000 souls to Christ.   That equals about 2.5% of the entire population of the nation. 

Our part in this awesome move of God was ministering in schools where we presented the Gospel to over 2000 students and we saw many hundreds give their lives to Christ.   Many were delivered out of hopelessness and oppression.    Others received truth that prevented them from committing suicide.   Some of the schools we ministered in were controlled by gangs and the drug trade. 

God moved in so many powerful ways as we were part of something historic and nation-changing.
