Letter from Rod - Feb 8, 2006
For the Lord Almighty says, “in just a little while, I will begin to shake the heavens and the earth, and the oceans too, and the dry land. I will shake all nations,
and the desire of all nations shall focus on this temple……
and I will fill this place with my Glory. Haggai 2:6-7
and I will fill this place with my Glory. Haggai 2:6-7

Friends of Christ,
Our second trip to Peru is behind us, and it is with great anticipation that we look forward to our upcoming March crusade. Your past prayers and gifts of grace launched Kingdom Shakers into a ministry of healing, miracles, and deliverance that is touching a region in the nation of Peru. The teaching, prayer, & preaching ministries saw results that both challenged our team and changed us. God demonstrated His love by using us in deliverance, conversion, healing, and filling of the Holy Spirit. The deaf regained their hearing, the blind their sight, the mute their speech and the lost found their way to the Savior. In one instance, a young woman 15 or 16 years of age was completely mute. She had never uttered a sound since her birth. We rebuked a mute spirit, laid hands on her and prayed for her healing…… and she spoke for the first time. Her first spoken word was “Jesus”! Then she proclaimed that Jesus loved her. Her church, the interpreter, and our team shouted and danced before the Lord as we celebrated His goodness and grace. Our God is an Awesome God, we praise Him for this miracle and for the many others that He performed in our midst!
The Pastor’s conference was a great success. In addition to the teaching, alter calls, confessions, healings, and baptism in the Holy Spirit, a bond of trust developed between the national pastors and the ministry team of Kingdom Shakers.
The pastors confirmed that never before have they witnessed such an outpouring of God’s favor and agreed together that the time is right for us to step out in faith and let Him bring in the Harvest of many souls. We have been invited to preach at a crusade in Iquitos, March 29th-April 1st. We anticipate thousands to attend, a potential of 8,000 per night for 4 nights!!! God has confirmed to our hearts that this is His will and we must obey what He has commissioned us to do. At this point over 35 churches have joined together in unity for the “2006 Impact” crusade. A special youth rally is planned on Saturday, April 1st with Jason Benner as the keynote speaker. Over 400 volunteers have agreed to receive the training that we will offer the week prior to the crusade in order to prepare for the ministry times during the crusade. This team will be available to pray with those that come for salvation, healing, deliverance, etc. We are asking our friends to pray that “heaven will indeed invade earth” so that the cause of Christ will over-power the kingdom of darkness and usher in thousands of souls into His Kingdom of Light. In addition to the crusade, our team will have opportunity to present the gospel in the schools (its not against the law there!!!!) and in the streets. The team will depart on March 24th for Peru, and return to the US on April 4th.
The entire crusade will be funded by Kingdom Shakers, with estimated expenses at about $7000. This does not include air fare and other expenses for the team. Along with myself, Steve Tutt, Jason Benner and a few Montana & Alaska partners, will join together with the host of nationals (as well as the hosts of the heavenlies!!)…. to minister the love and life of Jesus Christ to the people of Iquitos! We are trusting our Faithful God to provide all that is needed to accomplish His will. This is an awesome opportunity to be involved with evangelism to the ends of the earth.
March 14th, at 7:00 pm, you are invited to Polson Community Church, (1814 1st Street East), for a time of commissioning & prayer for the Peruvian missions crusade. I covet your prayer support as I travel, speak, and minister in Peru.
Be blessed and may the Peace of God fill you to over-flowing.

Unite with us and pray…
Ø For our safety, health, & team unity
Ø For God’s protection over spouses & family members of team
Ø For financial provision
Ø For God to anoint & fill us with His Holy Spirit
Ø For Souls to be Saved & Delivered into His Kingdom
Ø That Holy Spirit will work effectively through the interpreters to translate God’s Word powerfully
Ø For the Holy Spirit to impart All Gifts necessary to equip the team for ministry to advance His Kingdom Work
Ø For the Father to indeed “shake the heavens and the earth” to accomplish His will in the Nation of Peru
Ø Pray for the follow up that will be needed to assimilate new believers into the local bodies, and for the discipleship, maturing process.
Ø Pray for pastors and leaders to be raised up out of this time to carry on the work of the ministry to the many people of Iquitos and the jungle regions that MEPI has been serving and asked to serve in the future.
Ø The team members and I have been talking and agree that we want to go into this time of ministry not with enticing words(or great promotion) of man's wisdom(that creates a need to perform up to a preconceived expectation), but rather as Paul said, 'in demonstration of the Spirit and of power". Pray for us that we will remain humble servants and not fall into a trap of relying on human resources to accomplish what only God's power can do.
"When He spoke from Mt. Sinai His voice shook the earth, but, "Next time", He says, "I will not only shake the earth, but the Heavens too." By this He means that He will sift out everything without solid foundations, so that only unshakable things will be left. Since we have a Kingdom nothing can destroy, let us please God by serving Him with thankful hearts, and with holy fear and awe.
For our God is a consuming fire." Hebrews 12-26-29
