Revolution in World Missions What International Christian Leaders Are Saying About GFA “There are many that talk a good message, but not too many who actually live it out. Gospel for Asia is serious about the challenge of reaching unreached people groups. ... the 10/40 Window is where the Gospel needs to go. And GFA is a major force today standing in the gap. They represent the primary unreached peoples on Planet Earth. GFA has what it takes to penetrate the 10/40 Window.” Luis Bush International Director AD 2000 and Beyond “Gospel for Asia has become one of the more significant pioneer missionary agencies, with a good accountability structure ... They are doing an excellent job.” Patrick Johnstone Author Operation World “I praise God for the great love and commitment of K.P. and Gisela Yohannan for the people of Asia. Millions have received the Word of God because of them and the ministry of Gospel for Asia.” George Verwer International Director Operation Mobilization “Every once in a while God gives to His people a man who “I am pleased to recommend Gospel for Asia. Their vision is qualified to cut us open, give us a diagnosis and prescribe for reaching the world through native missionaries should a remedy for our healing. K.P. Yohannan is such a man. K.P. be highly commendable to evangelical Christians who are is impatient with intellectual knowledge unless it translates concerned about reaching the millions of the world with the into holy living and a single-minded determination to see the Gospel.” church around the world grow for the glory of God. And he practices what he preaches. If you listen to him carefully, you Dr. John Walvoord will leave with eternity stamped on your heart.” Former Chancellor Erwin Lutzer Dallas Theological Seminary Senior Pastor Moody Church, Chicago, IL “A sweeter spirit I have never known than Brother K.P. “Although there are many fine Christian groups working Yohannan with Gospel for Asia. He is doing one of the worldwide, I’ve found Gospel for Asia to be unique. A very greatest works I know of in his own country with his own small amount of money can fully support an evangelist to people of India.” effectively present Jesus Christ to eager listeners abroad. I have worked with these men ... and have learned from Lester Roloff (deceased) the values of commitment and wholesale dedication. K.P. Former Pastor Yohannan lives and breathes integrity. This integrity has Corpus Christi People’s Baptist Church filtered to the very fiber of his ministry. I am honored to be a partner with GFA.” Skip Heitzig “K.P.

This book greatly ministered to me and stirred me in a way no book has ever done. How can we order more copies?” —Pastor J. P., Lakeside, Oregon “I was a missionary in Nigeria for twenty years and understand what this book is all about.” —Mrs. D. T., Kearney, Arizona “Your book stirred me to tears and drove me to prayer! Please send me more information about your ministry to native missionaries. May God continue to bless you and use you.” —Miss J. S., Towson, Maryland “I have just finished reading your book, and I have been deeply stirred by it. I am eligible for Social Security this year, and my husband is going to let me use all of my monthly check for missions. We will live on his Social Security and pension. It is amazing how the Lord stretches our funds. But our lifestyle is simple, and giving is our greatest joy.” —Mrs. D. F., Binghamton, New York “I read your book and think it is one of the most dynamic, down-to-earth books that I have ever read. I want to give a copy to our pastor, each board member and selected other people at our church.” —Mr. P. W., Santa Margarita, California “I just finished reading Revolution in World Missions by K.P. Yohannan. The thought that for the cost of supporting one missionary from Canada as many as ten local Asian missionaries could be supported continues to astound me.” —Mr. S. D., Calgary, Alberta “We both read K.P.’s book and were very moved to change part of our lifestyle to further the Gospel. I hope we can do more as we get braver!” Revolution —Mr. and Mrs. D. F., Los Alamos, New Mexico “I saw myself too many times in your book, K.P. Although in we are going through a financial trial right now, I realize how very blessed we are compared to most of the rest of the world. I have caught sight of your vision.” —Mrs. S. S., Chesapeake, Virginia World “After finishing your book, our family is now deciding how we can be a part of God’s plan for His church in Asia. If you have any suggestions, we would enjoy your input—especially Missions from the experience you have acquired.” —Mr. P. P., Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin “We have been challenged and convicted by Revolution in World Missions. We believe that our Lord Jesus is offering us K.P. Yohannan the chance to share in His work in Asia—a chance we don’t want to miss!” —Mr. and Mrs. M. D. Pacifica, California To open their eyes, and “After reading Revolution in World Missions I am convinced our small amount of money can do more good in this mission to turn them from darkness to light, than many others we participate in.” and from the power of Satan unto God, —Mrs. I. T., Houston, Texas that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. —Acts 26:18 Copyright (c) 1986, 1989, 1992, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 by K.P.

I want to thank all of them—and all of you—and thank the Lord for placing you in my path. Of those especially close to me during the long writing, editing and review of this manuscript, I would like to thank David and Karen Mains and Gayle Erwin for their honest criticism and unwavering support of this entire project. Special thanks also are due Margaret Jordan, Heidi Chupp and Katie McCall, who typed the manuscript, and John Beers and Claudia Edwards, for their overall management of its production. Thanks. And my special thanks to Bob Granholm, Canadian Director of Frontiers, for his suggestions for the revision that helped to bring balance and clear up misunderstanding. Most of all, of course, my greatest debt is to my wife, Gisela, for her careful reading and for suggestions that made the critical difference in several passages.

  • O Timothy 2017-03
    W A Y O F L I F E L I T E R A T U R E O Timothy “Keep that which is committed to thy trust...” A Monthly Newsletter for Spiritual Protection and Edification Volume 34 - Issue 3 - March 2017 “Paul Chappell's youngest son, Matt, has started a Digging in the Walls: A month’s worth of news items, republished from contemporary church called Rock Hill Church in Friday Church News Notes. Page 12. Fontana, California … Rockhill Church uses contemporary music; and in typical emerging fashion, everything is dark. The room is dark for the worship service and it is dark for the preaching. It would be nearly impossible to actually look at your Bible and ‘search the Scriptures.’ Matt’s Instagram post for Feb. 18, 2017, featured a photo of his praise team singing Hillsong’s “Love So Great.”’ Page 4. JOHN RICE, LESTER ROLOFF, REPENTANCE, AND SLOPPY SOUL WINNING - By David Cloud n the 1980s, Jack Hyles and Curtis Hutson changed the ahistoric Baptist definition of repentance. I suspect that the motive was to justify the cheap, numbers-oriented soul winning methodology that was popular in that day. This was the methodology that was foundational to Big-ism with its emphasis on “the largest ... the fastest growing... the greatest.” I call the numbers-oriented soul winning methodology “Quick Prayerism,” because it is quick to run people through “the Romans Road,” quick to “get a decision,” quick to lead them in a sinner’s prayer, quick to give them “assurance,” and quick to pronounce them “saved” and record them as a statistic.

  • God Is Keeping the Score This Has Been a Wonderful Week Celebrating Missions and the Need for Church-Wide, Personal, and Evangel
    God Is Keeping the Score Page 1 of 3 God Is Keeping the Score This has been a wonderful week celebrating missions and the need for church-wide, personal, and evangelistic revival. We have enjoyed having the Winters, John Himes, and the Keens with us for the emphasis on world evangelism and our part we play in the greater scheme of things. Dr. Charles Keen is interested in setting up a mission headquarters in the country of Mongolia with the ability to have the Scriptures printed in the language of the inhabitants. One of our fine deacons, Robert Painter is personal friends with the Prime Minister and perhaps future president of Mongolia. With this in mind we had lunch last Friday with Robert and discussed the possibilities of Charles Keen obtaining a foothold into the Gospel needy country of Mongolia. I enjoy finding out seeing where our men work and entering their world for a brief visit. I must say I marvel at the hard working men of our church and the joy they find in their work. Robert was so nice to take us on a tour of his workplace at Fulbright and Jarworski. I especially enjoyed the view out the window high above Houston. Where Robert has a birds-eye view of the Minute Maid Field where the Houston Astros play. He told us, from his window he can see the score below in the stadium. I have seen some great views, but I have to admit this view with accompanying statement, “I can see the score of the game from my window” impacted me.

  • Abuse and Neglect in U.S.A. Residential Treatment Centers a Systemic Problem
    MEDICAL WHISTLEBLOWER Abuse and Neglect in U.S.A. Residential Treatment Centers A Systemic Problem Dr. Janet L. Parker DVM 8/14/2011 Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) states: "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights..." This is a preliminary report on the abuse and neglect of persons in residential treatment for “substance abuse” in the U.S.A. There have been violations of human rights, lack of investigation, prosecution and punishment of the offenders. This prevailing permissive environment has given de jure or de facto amnesty to those who violate human rights. Starting in the 1970’s there were residential treatment facilities for teens that were found to be abusive. The SEED, Straight Inc. and its derivatives, Roloff Homes, WWASPS and, more recently, Teen Challenge were adjudicated “guilty” of human rights abuses. This report explores the ways these perpetrators of abuse have used the political system to protect themselves and exploit loopholes in the law to expand their network of abusive residential treatment facilities for youth. Abuse and Neglect in U.S.A. Residential Treatment Centers ―I wish to acknowledge the courage, perseverance and resilience of those who were closest to this national tragedy and thank Angela Smith, Wesley Fager, Richard ―Ray‖ Bradbury, Kelly Mathews, Marcus Chatfield, Todd Eckelberger, Alex Layne, Christine Flannery, William Earnshaw, Sr. and all the others who shared with me their stories and I also wish to express my appreciation to Judith I.
