Greetings from your family and church members here in Imphal.

It is with joy that we write this email to you. Everything is going very well here and the college is running smoothly and our ministry in church planting and rural evangelism is going very well.

This morning, a pastor from Churachandpur came to us and told us that the Festival of Hope and Peace Crusade in Churachandpur and Imphal had a great impact to the whole state of Manipur. Many thousands of people accepted Jesus Christ in Churachandpur alone, and many hundreds of people were healed from different sicknesses. He kept telling us that our Crusade impressed thousands of Hindu people. Now, after the Crusade, it is easier to preach the gospel to the Hindus, because the crusade has become a forerunner and pioneer to many unreached tribes.

Earlier, the Hindu people strongly opposed the preaching of the Gospel. But after watching the Crusade on the television, and coming personally to the Crusade venue, they are now very much impressed with the word of God. Therefore, after our crusade, it has been much easier to witness to the Hindu people.

Last night, we visited a woman from Churachandpur in Imphal Hospital. The woman is the wife of one of our Crusade board members from Churachandpur. She had extreme pain in her head and the doctor said she needed an emergency operation. While we were in the hospital, a couple came to us and asked me whether I am Minthang Suantak? I immediately said, "yes, I am." Then the husband asked me, "where is Papa Joe?" I said, "in Australia." Then I asked him how he knew Papa Joe. The man asked me why did we not know this man of God who loves Manipur and cares for Manipur like his own family? We knew Papa Joe very much and we know his love for Manipur. He kept telling us that they wanted to meet Papa Joe so I told them that Papa will be here in January. Then I asked them where they are from. They were not tribal but Meitei so with great enthusiasm I asked them if they were Christians, they told me honestly that they are not yet Christians, but they were impressed with the love and work Papa Joe is doing in Manipur. They told me that they know many living testimonies about Papa Joe’s ministry from many years, from many people including people nearby his village.

The woman (wife) told me that this year one woman nearby her village, who was seriously sick in the hospital, was healed after Papa Joe’s prayer. The doctor lost hope and could not do anything for this woman, but after the prayer of Papa Joe, the women was healed. The woman said that this testimony has influenced many of her people in her area. Her husband is so positive about the work of God, through this testimony and also the many more testimonies which he has heard about Papa Joe. Now her husband is very close with the Gospel. After listening to his wife I immediately preached to this couple. They were so enthusiastic. We sat down in the corner of the hospital and both of them gave their lives to Christ.

Then I tried to find out who this particular woman was that you prayed for in the hospital. Then we knew, it was the woman that you prayed for in the hospital in September when one young lady came and persistently requested that you pray at the hospital after the Crusade. The couple told me that this testimony of the woman being healed has spread all over our area and many were greatly amazed as they saw the work of God practically.

When I was talking with this couple, many more Meitei people came to us and they listened to my sharing. Many of those Meitei people knew you (Papa Joe) very well. Many of them talked about you with joy. One particular gentlemen told me that though they are not Christians as yet, no one can tell about our future, we cannot say that we will not become Christians. If people keep seeing good things from the work it will be easy to influence people. In a couple of years we will have thousands of people who will follow the Lord. The man told me that many people (in terms of thousands) in his area are very much influenced by Papa Joe's ministry in Manipur. He told me that he fully believed that Papa Joe will draw many people into the Kingdom of God in the future. This particular gentlemen was also very interesting but he only had a few minutes. His friend pulled him out of the group that had gathered.

Today our bible college students and our boys worked in the new campus of our bible college, putting up fencing and cleaning. From today our youth will meet at P. Thianzawl village for a Youth Conference/Seminar till Monday. I will be joining them tomorrow and will be back on Monday. We expect 90 youths at this seminar. Please pray for this youth seminar. Khaiboi may leave this afternoon for the youth conference.

May the good Lord continue to bless you all, this is our earnest prayer for you all. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Bless you Papa. Shalom.

Greetings from your family and church members here in Imphal. We trust that everything is going fine with you and that you had a safe and merciful journey back home.

Yesterday we had a good time with our bible college students. Today we had another board meeting and tomorrow I am having a workers' meeting as many of our workers, pastors, evangelists and teachers will come to our office for a committee meeting and for prayers.

As I told you on the 5th October, we went to Churachandpur to visit several of our churches and also to meet different people who shared with us their reports and testimonies of our crusade. By evening, we were trying to return back home, however after 20 minutes driving, our car broke down and we had to push the car to the road side. After several minutes of trying to repair our car by ourselves we could not work it out. Then with the help of another car we pulled our car back to a workshop in Churachandpur. We spent one more night in Churachandpur but then the next morning the workshop in Churachnadpur could not fix it either so we hired another truck to pull the car back to Imphal.

However, we had a wonderful time in Churachandpur as we shared with people who had wonderful testimonies of healings and were saved by attending our Crusades. We also had a follow up program with the help of several of our friends in Churachandpur and we met many people who got healed and saved during the Crusade.

As I told you over the phone, the woman who was severely sick in the hospital whom you prayed for was healed the same night through your prayers and after two days she was discharged from the hospital.

There was also a young girl who came to our office who invited you so earnestly to come and pray for her sick aunty. The same girl contacted us again by telephone to let us know the good news, however since we were not at home at the time she contacted us, Mr. Thang took the telephone call and she spoke to him.

The next day, while I was in Churachandpur, she contacted me over my mobile phone and was really happy about the healing through Papa Joe's prayer. She was crying in the telephone because of her great joy. She told me that if Papa Joe had not come and prayed for her Aunty, by this time she would be in a critical condition because of her sickness. Since they are so poor they could not buy all the medicines the doctors wanted them to buy, but now because of Papa Joe’s prayers she doesn't have to take medicines and they don’t have to buy costly medicines. She is absolutely healed by the prayers of Papa Joe. Her Aunty is now starting to eat food and regains her strength slowly. By the time Papa Joe comes back again to Manipur she will be strong enough to travel to Imphal and meet Papa Joe personally. She is not only healed physically but her soul also got saved through Papa Joe’s prayers. They were very happy. Praise God! Praise God!

One woman who was suffering from half paralysis was also healed through your prayer. The woman came to us last night and told us that she came to the crusade and there were many people but, fortunately, she got a seat in the third row. She rejoiced as she listened to the message from our sister Suzette and after the message she was very eager for prayer and she approached you, Papa Joe. She told me that since Papa Joe is very much known to us all, I just approached him and told him my problem. Because of the thousands of people he (Papa Joe) could not listen to me carefully, but I just asked him to pray for me. Papa Joe just layed his hand upon my head and prayed for me. Then I heard a sound like thunder and I just turned around and Papa Joe left me. I strongly believed that I was healed through Papa Joe’s prayer. When I wanted to go home I proceeded towards the main gate exit and I felt something on my body and my feet and arms was getting tighter and stronger. Then I shouted, praise God! Praise God! As I left the main gate exit, I knew that I was healed, I was so happy. I thought I would go back to Papa Joe and share my testimony, but because there were so many people leaving the stadium, I could not get to Papa Joe. By the time I got out from the crowded Stadium, the bus with the team and Papa Joe had left, I just saw the bus leave from a distance. I returned back home with joy. On my way back home, I sang songs with joy and tears were dropping out from my eyes. It was the last night of the Crusade. This lady was just a nominal Christian but now after she was healed from your prayers, she gave her life to Christ and now she is a very happy woman. She told us that she is moving to Mizoram and when she is in Mizoram she will share her testimony to many of the Mizo Christians. She believed that through her testimony many of her friends and relatives in Mizoram will come to the saving grace of our Lord.

In Churachandpur, hundreds were healed and hundreds got saved through the Crusades. Now many of the Christian leaders in Churachandpur, from different denominations, have felt the importance of the infilling of the Holy Spirit for leaders and for believers. Once these Christian leaders in Churachandpur district did not accept healing and the infilling of the Holy Spirit and the baptism of the Holy Spirit, but now that they have seen hundreds of people healed from different sicknesses and the baptism of the Holy Spirit through our crusade, they have changed their hearts.

One hindu man who had kidney problems and had been on his sick bed for one and a half years watched the crusade by television. He was healed by watching the television through the prayer of sister Suzette. He gave his life to Christ and his sickness is absolutely gone. The man is now able to get up from his bed and walk and eat food. He and his family are so happy. The man said we praise God for sister Suzette and her team who came to Manipur to rescue the people of Manipur from our horrible situation. It is because of sister Suzette and her team that I was healed from my sickness and got saved from my sin by the blood of Jesus Christ.

One lady came to us this morning who had a severe case of piles for many years but could not be healed by doctors. She is from a very poor family and could not buy any medicines. She always came to the crusade every night and sat in the first row. Her pile problem was so severe that she was passing a lot of blood. Her body was going down and she had lost weight. Sometimes she could not walk. But she was healed through sister Suzette’s prayers on the last night of our Crusade. She came to us with tears of joy yesterday before we went to church. She told us that she now does not have to worry about getting medicine because God healed her. She told us that, “God knew that I am such poor women and could not buy medicine and I was healed by His stripes." She is a Hmar woman married to a Hindu man. You will meet her when you come here. Now, because of her healing, her Hindu husband has accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour.

A women and three men rang me up this morning and told me that they were healed from their sickness through the prayers of the team. They did not know who prayed for them but they are sure that it was the team members who prayed for them and they got healed. They could not classify whether the team was from Australia, Germany or Ukraine but they knew that it was our team members who prayed for them iwhen they were healed.

We love you Papa, and we keep praying for you always.

Bless you Papa.

Greetings from your family and church members here in Imphal.

It is with joy that we write this email. We trust that you are in the best of health and that the Lord is continuing to bless all your services.

Soon after our two crusades in Manipur, we are still keeping busy in our ministries as there is lots of work to do. Yesterday I preached at Manipur Rifle (Police) battalion and also unveiled a stone that was erected by the youth department for the remembrance of their ministry.

We are receiving lots of reports from the crusades each day. We hear from people by telephone and when they come to our office personally to inform us about the wonderful miracles that have happened in their lives from the crusade.

Yesterday morning, five men came to us to inform us of their testimonies. These five people told us that they did not come to the crusade, but every night they watched it on television. Three of these men had been suffering from T.B for the last three years. They had had lung infections and could not breathe normally. According to their confession, they said that when sister Suzette told them to put their hands on the pain in their body, they placed their hands on their chests and as sister Suzette prayed for them, they got an instant healing. Their sickness is now fully gone, they have no sickness now in their bodies. They praised God for His wonderful healing power. Not only did He heal their sickness, He also healed their souls as the next night, they gave their lives to Christ. They followed sister Suzette's prayers of repentance and forgiveness through the television. The two men who came along with these three men told us that they had been in a gang and had lived arrogant, violent lives. By watching sister Suzette’s preaching through television they, too, gave their lives to God and accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord.

One man rang the office and told me on the telephone that although he is not a Christian, he was touched by sister Suzette’s preaching. He told me that Manipur desperately needed sister Suzette. The man on the telephone told me that unfortunately he is not a Christian but by listening to sister Suzette’s preaching, he cannot say he will not become a Christian as he was so impressed by sister Suzette’s message. From the beginning of the crusade until the last day, the man had watched all the sermons on television and even now, he is still very happy and encouraged through our beloved sister Suzette’s messages and the sacrifice of the team from different countries for the sake of Manipur. He said that the thousands upon thousands of people like him desperately need sister Suzette and the team to lead and guide us all in the right direction.

Another man who was not a Christian rang the office and told me that his father had been seriously sick and they had consulted many doctors for the recovery of their beloved father. But all their efforts had been in vain. They had lost all their faith and trust in any gods. They had spent all their money for the treatment of their father, but with no signs of improvement. They had used up all their money and ended with nothing. They were so desperate and worried, but could not help. Their father was suffering from many sicknesses including a chronic stomach ulcer, dysentery, and many more deadly sicknesses, including T.B. Then someone told them to watch sister Suzette’s preaching through the television, as they could not afford to travel to the crusade in person. The whole family watched the second night of the crusade. They did what sister Suzette told the people to do, and after Sister Suzette’s prayer their father told the whole family, "I feel as if sister Suzette came and touched my sickness and something has happened over my whole body." They all went to bed and early in the morning the father woke up all the family and told them that last night he saw sister Suzette in a dream. In the dream, sister Suzette came inside their house and laid her hand upon the old father and prayed in Jesus' name and the old man got healed from all his sicknesses, praise God! Now the whole family, once non-Christians, have become a wonderful spirit-filled Christian family because after their father was healed from his sickness through sister Suzette’s prayers on the last night of the Crusade, the whole family accepted Christ through television. The man told me over the phone that there are thousands of families like them, who have lost their faith because of their sickness and poverty. For all these thousands upon thousands of desperate families in Manipur, our beloved Sister Suzette and the team from Australia, Ukraine and Germany are the need of the hour for Manipur.

Before I forget, let me say this- while typing this email, our brother Zammang brought a man into my office who said that his brothers and sisters were healed through the prayers of sister Suzette as they were watching on television.

Last night, three men came to our office and asked us "when are Sister Suzette, Papa Joe and the team coming back to Manipur?" I told them that we didn't know. The three men asked us to please email Sister Suzette and Papa Joe and the team from Australia, Ukraine and Germany to convey our greetings because we need them to change our whole state, Manipur. Even though we don't belong to a Christian community, we trust what Sister Suzette and the team preached and all her sermons impressed our hearts. We strongly believe that she (Suzette) and Papa Joe and the team are the right people to change our trouble-torn state, Manipur.

We keep praying for you with fasting, and there are hundreds of people praying for your ministry. Tomorrow I will be going to Churachandpur as there are many reports from the people in Churachandpur and they have asked me to visit to collect them. When I come back from Churachandpur I will give you many more reports.

I am now going out for an outreach ministry and our teams are waiting for me at my office door.

Please try to bring as many teams as you can, we keep praying for all your works.

May the good Lord continue to bless you, this is our earnest prayer.

Looking forward to hearing from you and seeing you again soon.

Minthang Suantak
