1. Though it may sound a little cliche I remember David Pawson saying that often your heart will ‘resonate or vibrate’ when you see others doing what you are Called to…watching this and the discussion you guys are having, consider my heart resonated. Grace and peace, Adam

2. I have followed you two for the last few years, not sure how many, but am always encouraged and look forward to hearing what the Lord is doing in and through you in the body of Christ…. Dalton and Joel, you two would have been Jesus disciples had you lived in the days when Jesus called the 12… Or you would have been someone receiving a letter from Paul as you spearheaded an early church…. I am saddened at how how so many in the Church in the west are largely out of touch with the middle east, so focused on, wealth, health and a happy life and Jesus will bring everyone an abundance of all one desires if you make a decision to follow him… All the while when brothers and sisters who have come to the Lord in places around the middle east are focused more on survival and come Lord Jesus, and day to day discipleship midst hardship, trials and heavy persecution…. I agree, the gospel is powerful enough to break down any barriers the enemy erects… In the west it’s currently gender and abortion related politics that seem to grab the headlines of everyday living, partly due to being overfed and lack of hard work to just to survive day to day…. Seems in the middle east, it’s a daily grind just to survive, shelter and food for most, and the battle with apposing religion and the power those leaders hold over the people through intimidation if not death… Lord come quickly,.. In the mean time I pass on what you all post, because it’s not info you’ll find on Fox or any other media outlets…

3. Thanks much for the encouraging note Abraham. Many Blessings to you! Joel

4. Michael Green wrote an excellent book on evangelism in the early Church (and that is the name of the book) in which he explores how the Gospel spread so quickly in early times. He discovered that it spread: a) through family units; and b) through believers “gossipping” about Jesus to everyone they met (his words, not mine). It also included women leaders (though it was predominantly men at that time) and was not building-focused but relationship-focused. It sounds a lot like what is happening in Iran today. I am looking forward to volume 2 and am planning to show both films at my church in the Fall.

5. Maran-atha! Joel, I hope I can come to the conference in January. Can you give the online link or another way to know more and to sign up?

   Blessings to you and Dalton and….,
   Howard

7. How can I sign up to be used to help with the underground? I am a young man with and able body and willing heart and hands to help God and all of his people.

8. Dear Joel, our faithful brother, your last Underground video with Dalton (in Iraqi Kurdistan) was thrilling to our hearts! The news of what our Mighty God is doing in the Church in the MIddle East gives us tremendous encouragement; but more than that it explains why we are having SO much difficulty finding a place here to worship, intercede, and fellowship. Nowhere can we find a congregation who has caught the zeal of MARANATHA and is excited about studying the prophecies and being made ready for Yeshua’s return! So we continue to follow you and FAI in your awesome journey and support you as we can. (And I CANNOT WAIT until your book on the Procession of Messiah finally comes out; I intend to use it for a powerful bible study in our area). We are making a donation today to continue your work in the Middle East and will sign up as partners. May the God of Israel keep His warring angels round about you guys to keep you safe and invisible as you share the power of the Gospel to the Muslim people!
   In His love and ours,
   Kelly and John Mills

9. Thank you so much Kelly and John. Love you guys. Blessings!

10. Yes. We are planning to host a screening in our home next week. We live in a small community in Saskatchewan. We’ve invited neighbours, friends at Church, study group members. If we run out of room in our living room, we also have a second screen in our basement living area. Hoping for a good turnout and anticipating the launch of this new film!
