I am Evangelist Matti Wendelin from Finland, and I was able to hold a crusade at Mendi, Papua New Guinea, January 8 through 12. Local churches came together to make this outreach possible. Thousands of people come every night, and hundreds got saved every single evening. That was glorious.

Starting at the first meeting, many healing miracles took place. For example, there was a well-known pastor whose right hand had been paralysed for 31 years after being shot in his shoulder. He received an instant miracle. As you can imagine, if someone has not been able to use their hand for 31 years, all of the muscles were tired out. God showed Himself to be a Miraculous God, He still makes miracles today. There was another man, someone everybody knew, who could not walk without help, and the Lord healed him in front of everyone’s eyes. Many other miracles took place at the first meeting, so many people came to listen to the Good news after that, evening after evening. There were about 3600 people attending every evening. Meetings were hold in the big tent. That tent is already too old and in bad condition and we are in great need to get a new one [If you would like to help, please ask for the latest contact information].

The fields are ripe and the harvest is ready in Papua New Guinea. Last year, in January 2016, I went to hold another crusade at Poroma, Papua New Guinea, where thousands of people came, received salvation and were healed. Since that crusade, all of the local churches in that area are living in revival. Almost 500 people have since been water baptised and there is no more place for people in local churches. Now we are very interested to see what fruit comes from the Mendi Crusade.

The harvest is ready now, but the harvest only comes in when labourers are sent into the fields. The Good news is free, but everybody knows it costs a lot of money to send those to preach it, and it must be preached.

God bless you all,
Matti Wendelin

Matti Wendelin: My ministry, Full Gospel for All Nations, was founded 1990 in Finland. I have been preaching the gospel since 1977. This is still a small ministry, but thanks to God we are wining many souls around the world, especially in Asia. My vision is to do mass crusades and I love when I see people being saved and healed. We often see that everyone attending our crusades wants to get saved.

PR: When did you sense that the Lord was calling you into ministry?

Matti Wendelin: When I was a child, the Lord spoke to me through many different ways about my calling to preach the gospel. I used to go alone to forest where I had collection of empty bottles. I preached to those bottles and at the end of the service, I pushed them down. When I grew up, I wanted to do something else with my life until Lord took me for a visit to Heaven. In Heaven, one angel took me to the room where there were a lot of crowns. He took one crown and came to me saying, “The Lord has prepared this for you.” I liked it and it was very beautiful in my eyes, but he put it back and took another crown and said to me, “This is for you.” Immediately I could see there was a big different between those two crowns, like night and day. He continued, “That first one was prepared for you, but because you did not want to do the will of God and you were not willing to go to Pakistan, India, Papua New Guinea, and wherever the Lord would send you to preach the gospel, so someone else is going to do what you were asked to do, and they will receive what was prepared for you.”
