Middle East - Project 5000MEby Toufic Azar, Middle East Region Field SupervisorIn March, I was invited by IndianaDistrict World MissionsDirector Jud Sears to <strong>the</strong>ir worldmissions rally in Bloomington,Indiana in order to promote <strong>the</strong>mission work in <strong>the</strong> MiddleEast. After service, <strong>the</strong>re wasone young girl, Rebecca, who came to me andsaid that for <strong>the</strong> last year she had been babysittingand working various jobs to save money.But during <strong>the</strong> Middle East mission presentation,she felt <strong>the</strong> <strong>Lord</strong> speak to her to give allher savings to Project 5000ME to feed <strong>the</strong> poorin Lebanon. She rushed to ask her dad to takeher home to get her savings from her room. Herdad told me later that he had <strong>of</strong>fered to give hera check instead <strong>of</strong> driving her home, but she insistedon giving her own money! He took herhome and when she came back, tears were flowingfrom her eyes as she handed me an envelopestashed with money. She told me, “This is mysavings. Please send it to Lebanon to feed <strong>the</strong>poor.” It was a total <strong>of</strong> $200.18.I was brought to tears by this young girl’spassion and sacrifice. I was reminded <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>young boy in <strong>the</strong> Bible who willingly gave <strong>the</strong><strong>Lord</strong> all he had, his two fish and five loaves<strong>of</strong> bread. In <strong>the</strong> eyes <strong>of</strong> many, this might haveseemed too little to feed 5000, but with <strong>the</strong> <strong>Lord</strong>it was more than enough!My wife and I just launched Project-5000ME this past Wednesday, trusting that <strong>the</strong><strong>Lord</strong> will provide <strong>the</strong> necessary funds to feed atleast 5000 hungry people in Lebanon, primarily<strong>the</strong> Syrian refugees. But <strong>the</strong> objective at <strong>the</strong> Indianaworld missions rally was for a church vanin Lebanon which <strong>the</strong> Indiana district blessed uswith! I vaguely mentioned Project5000ME andthis young girl, from out <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> whole congregationcame forward, with tears flowing fromher eyes moved by <strong>the</strong> Holy Ghost and gave allthat she had. She didn’t know that was our first<strong>of</strong>fering for Project5000ME. It came to us as aconfirmation that <strong>the</strong> <strong>Lord</strong> is going to take whatRebecca gave and multiply it in our hands t<strong>of</strong>eed 5000 families in Lebanon!Thank you, Rebecca, for obeying <strong>the</strong> HolyGhost!

One evening, while at Denny’s, we begantalking to our waitress, telling how good God is and she began pouringout her heart to us. We gave her a personal invitation to visit us atchurch <strong>the</strong> following Sunday. She came with her daughter and Godfilled her with <strong>the</strong> Holy Ghost her first service. She brought her fiancéto prayer meeting, and we had a Bible study with him. God is movingin this couple’s life. A couple in <strong>the</strong> church opened <strong>the</strong>ir home for aSaturday neighborhood Word study. A group <strong>of</strong> neighbors attended.Many were touched by God. One woman in particular was ready fora life change. She came to church Sunday expecting to be baptizedand claiming deliverance in her life. God filled her with <strong>the</strong> HolyGhost while being baptized. Also, a 74 year old gentleman came toservice and saw his need to be baptized in <strong>the</strong> name <strong>of</strong> <strong>Jesus</strong>. Yes,God filled him with <strong>the</strong> gift <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Holy Ghost as well. Numerousguests and backsliders are being drawn to this church. We helped establisha new disciple’s class and are seeing revelation come to <strong>the</strong>mas well. O<strong>the</strong>rs have been baptized and renewed in <strong>the</strong> Holy Ghostwith a fresh anointing. Backsliders are returning and being refilled,and great things are happening in Indiana. Revival is on!”- David & Tammy Walker“Sunday, March 10, <strong>2013</strong> in Muncie, Indiana God showed up! HeritageApostolic Church was about to step into <strong>the</strong> supernatural. Thechurch was prepared for a Book <strong>of</strong> Acts move <strong>of</strong> God. The buildingwas packed full <strong>of</strong> visitors from all over <strong>the</strong> city. Pastor Michael Purdueand church family set <strong>the</strong> tone with prep and worship. As soonas I stepped into <strong>the</strong> pulpit, I knew something special was going tohappen on this day. The prophetic flowed so freely while more than20 people were filled with <strong>the</strong> Spirit and a great number <strong>of</strong> peoplewere healed and delivered! The early Church walked in Pentecostalpower. Church services were vibrant and Spirit-filled. They featuredspiritual worship, anointed preaching and teaching and <strong>the</strong> supernaturalgifts. 1 Corinthians 12:8-10, speaks <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> word <strong>of</strong> wisdom,<strong>the</strong> word <strong>of</strong> knowledge, faith, gifts <strong>of</strong> healing, <strong>the</strong> working <strong>of</strong> miracles,prophecy, discerning <strong>of</strong> spirits, tongues and <strong>the</strong> interpretation<strong>of</strong> tongues. Without <strong>the</strong>se, we have an imbalanced church. We neednot only worship and <strong>the</strong> Word but we also need <strong>the</strong> gifts! We are soblessed to be a part <strong>of</strong> what God did in Muncie, Indiana and hundreds<strong>of</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r churches everywhere.”- Chris & Lisa Leach<strong>MAY</strong>\13 ~ 25
