Happy Fourth of July and a blessed summer! We haven’t sent out a letter for quite a while. We have been busy with counseling and setting people free and have started having larger meetings here in Atlanta, most notably the Women’s Retreat around Valentine’s Day. It was very successful. Many of our friends from different states attended that meeting. I had lunch with about ten of the women who attended the weekend seminar. Talk about wild women for God!!! They were really on fire and full of joy!!

I am going on a two week mission trip to Africa with Todd Bentley (Fresh Fire Ministries) at the end of August to the Sudan and Northern Uganda. Nancy who will be giving me prayer support for this mission trip wants to wish you all well. The teams are going to bring food and present Christ and His healing and salvation to some of the most troubled areas on the earth. The Sudan is an area torn by more than twenty years of civil war and government policy that sends war planes and mechanized troops to destroy unarmed Christian villages. Many Christians and Non-Christians have been displaced in refugee camps, living on just barely enough to eat. Many children are literally growing up in these camps, their families broken by civil war and persecution. We are coming to them with food, salvation, and healing. We will be visiting at an orphanage there where most of the children there have been child soldiers. Todd Bentley has had many crusades in Africa but he has never gone this far into these bad areas. It will be a first.

One hundred and twenty five team members are going to help distribute food, pray for the sick and lead many thousands to salvation.

I felt God’s call to go on this trip even before the recent Lakeland Revival. I want to ask you, would you like to go, too, by helping to send someone to represent you who can be hands and a voice to bring food, comfort and healing—and, most importantly, salvation.

We here in American have recently celebrated our independence—something we rightly value very much. But how much independence would we have if we did not have food or meaningful work, safety or, most importantly, salvation. This trip is expensive, more than $4000 for the trip, and, two weeks of lost wages, about another $2000 in my case. If you would like to invest in something that will have eternal consequences for thousands, please send your prayers and donations and share in the spoil as we invade the enemy camp and take back some of what has been stolen from these people: their health, their joy, and their freedom.

Some of the non-Christians there (the majority in the Sudan are not Christian) who come to salvation because of the meetings, will be able to look back at their terrible circumstances and rejoice over them as doorways that led them to eternal life.

I believe you will be happy with the result of your giving prayer and financial help to reach out to these poorest of the poor both now and in eternity. I will be sending each of you an account of the trip.

Yours in Christ, 

Richard Kinney
