Dear Friends,
On Saturday November 20th in Beirut, Lebanon, I did a live interview on a popular program on MTV Lebanon and millions of people saw it all over Lebanon and the Arab world. The program director told me that it reaches the educated young and trendy 15-30 year old demographic. Many I talked to in Lebanon said that war could break out again any day, which I think made it even more significant. Download pdf
The interview was supposed to be 10 minutes, but ended up being 15 minutes long. I was able to clearly explain who Jesus is and that He is not about hate, but love - something that needs to be said in the Middle East. You can watch the MTV Lebanon program on this link: www.steiger.org/mtvlebanon
The 4 minute interview that Aaron and I recorded with Brian Head Welch was shown during the interview and it made the message VERY clear. They are interested in a big Brian Head Welch and No Longer Music show next year.
After the interview I was able to pray with the director of programming in the parking lot of the studio and he was incredibly moved. He is a very cool guy and I look forward to spending more time with him in the future.
So it was REALLY a miraculous time and I clearly felt your prayers. A member of a local church in Beirut told me that they have been praying for this to happen for years and that this is a direct answer to prayer. SO PRAISE JESUS!!!
Millions all over the Arab world heard that Jesus is about love and not hate because of your prayers and financial support.
Other News:
New Steiger works are being formed in Chile and Ukraine. God is opening new doors in Russia, Middle East, USA and Europe. The Brazilian team in São Paulo is growing and major opportunities to present Jesus are opening all over Brazil.
Jodi and I are continuing on with our speaking tour. I can not exaggerate how powerfully Jesus has been moving in the various parts of the world where we have been. It’s also been so exciting to spend time with our Steiger Missionaries around the world and see how dedicated they are to seeing lost people find out that God loves them.
Please continue to pray for God to give us His strength. We have an extremely full schedule and we both need God’s power and anointing. You can find our speaking schedules on the Steiger website (click here).
In the January newsletter, I will give you an overview and report on what is happening in Steiger around the world.
Have a great Christmas!
For the lost,
David Pierce
