To: A.C.T.S. Action Prayer Family
April 25, 2014

From: Fred & Carol Schaeffer
(in Cairns, QLD now, our email: Frs@pray4acts.org)

This is to thank you most gratefully for your many prayers backed by thousands for:

• The lost along the Outback Evangelism Trail from Laura to Yarrabah, QLD
• Conversion of a Force 5 cyclone/hurricane to a rainstorm in that area God's direction of the A.C.T.S. "Jesus for Children" Family which was stranded in Mareeba, QLD by Cyclone/Hurricane Ita.

"...One sows and another reaps"...but God gives the increase" John 4:3, 7b, I Corinthians 3:7b (NKJV)

Your prayers have been answered. Please PRAISE GOD that:

• Cyclone/Hurricane Ita was depressed and claimed no deaths or property loss with the principal exception of where it touched down in Cooktown, QLD and blew off the roof of the town's pub/gambling and drinking center.
• A.C.T.S. "Jesus for Children" 2014 Family (Pastor Alvaro, Kathy D, Kathy O, Emitai, Hope and Dale) overcame many spiritual obstacles such as being in the eye of a predicted Force 5 cyclone/hurricane and retaine3d their focus on witnessing to Aboriginal children through the power of the Holy Spirit. We saw God's hand move mightily throughout the Tour.
• The open roads and doors to the children from Mossman Gorge and Yarrabah.
• Nearly all of the 78 children seeing the "Jesus for Children" movie, and 10 adults, responded to God's saving grace amidst many local testimonies and prayers. This result was surprisingly close to Merciful Redemption/A.C.T.S./IMLA Alliances's pre Cyclone Ita objective of 100 new souls confessing Christ as their Lord and Savior.
• Linda and George in Mossman Gorge, Vince and Hope in Mareeba, Ernest, Charmayne and Yolanda Stafford plus Aunty Pam from Yarrabah agreed to use A.C.T.S. materials to disciple the new "babes in Christ" to recommence and or reinforce their children's ministry.
• Prior to Ita, another evangelistic team brought Christ witness to the area between Laura and Yarrabah, Qld, the areas you and many others prayed for.
• Pastor Steve Acri reports that the Holy Spirit moved 1,191 persons from Laura to Yarrabah to confess Christ as Lord... church attendance has increased by 30 – 40% amongst participating churches!!

"whatever you ask in my name, that I will do" John 14:13 (NKJV)

Please pray with us that God will:

• Bring mentors, teachers, evangelists (i.e. Corey & Riley Hunter) and Christian friends to the new Christians from Laura, QLD to Tweed Heads, N.S.W.
• Enable Yarrabah's Christian Aboriginal community to be united by the closure of the mystery surrounding Wayne and Diane's mother's death.
• Complete the salvation of those (i.e. Lee Rogers, Jr.) who believe in our risen Savior but hesitate to confess Christ as their Lord.
• Completely heal all of our friends who are diagnosed as terminally ill (Gloria Small and Colin Cotterill).
• Continue to heal Santa Ramos delivered from her death bed.
• Enable Wilkins Obregon to again behold God's and his family's love.
• God will move Juergen and Katherine Cziommer's hearts to confess Jesus as their Savior. Both were witnessed to by Fred in Cairns last night.
• Enable Pastor Alvaro "Al" Garcia to comfort Donna's family (i.e. Jessica Goodman) and friends as he flew out of Brisbane on Thursday 4/24 to conduct her funeral on Monday 4/28 at 10:00 a.m.
• Provide the partners, resources and direction to plan, launch and fruitfully finish A.C.T.S. "Jesus for Children" 2015 Tour to western/northern Australia and China/North Korea.

"...I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all" Romans 1:8 (NKJV)

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE was accomplished!
We felt your prayers and saw the hand of the Lord move mightily from the moment of arrival at the airport on 4/24/14 until now. Thank you so much for keeping revival going and growing in well over 25 Aboriginal communities in Australia! Please pray for the above daily...

In His power,

Fred and Carol Schaeffer
P.S. Photos & videos of the above outreach will be included in a DVD we are preparing and available around 8/20/14.
