Dear Friends,

Just recently, I stayed in a room that looked down on a Middle Eastern city where in some neighborhoods the houses are riddled with bullet holes from street fights. The young couple I was staying with opened their hearts to me. “We are alone. Please help us,” they said. “We are so tired and feel like we are crawling on the ground. We can’t stand alone!” Download pdf

Dear Friends,

The last time I was in this city* with our band No Longer Music, fist fights broke out in the crowd. Some people wanted to harm us and others came to our defense. My band had to hide so they wouldn’t be attacked by the armed mob that was plotting to incite a riot against us. Download pdf

Dear Friends,

During my New Zealand speaking tour I have seen tough young inner city kids, university students and "normal" middle-aged men and women fall to their knees and give their lives to Jesus for the first time. Many others have rededicated their lives to Jesus and declared publically that they are willing to be sent into God's service. Download pdf

Dear Friends,

I first met Cocke three years ago in a warehouse where my band was playing in Santiago, Chile. He was searching for God, but he didn't know who Jesus was yet. He was in a secular Chilean metal band and was helping us with our sound. Download pdf

Dear Friends,

Sami, who has his own pop music TV program in Saudi Arabia, picked us up at the airport and took us to our hotel at around 4:00 am. We had heard rumors that I was blacklisted but I was able to clear customs without any problem. Thank you for your prayers about this! Download pdf

Dear Friends,

We will not know until we go through customs if we are blacklisted. Our contacts can’t find anything out. It could be that only Jodi will be able to get through customs at the airport.
The guy who opposes us coming is saying that my name is on a governmental “black list” because of the near riot that broke out when we were there last year. Our contact says he acts totally irrationally and that he said “If David gets into the country I am going to call the security forces”. Download pdf

Dear Friends,

Six months ago, during our evangelistic tour in the Middle East, hundreds of young people , including many Islamic young people, heard who Jesus is for the first time. Many came forward to make a public confession of faith in Jesus Christ. But it didn't come without a fight. During one concert the team was taunted and threatened with violence. Download pdf

Dear Friends,

While Michael and I were preparing to speak a guy came in with his face covered with a black scarf and dark sunglasses. He kind of looked like a terrorist but I thought that maybe it was just a "fashion statement". Download pdf

Dear Friends,

Sandro Baggio is the leader of Steiger Brazil and the pastor of a church located in a very dangerous area of São Paulo. The church is near a squatter area of old apartment blocks occupied by drug dealers and gangs. Download pdf
