Dear Friends, Did you know that you have been given the authority to declare God’s plan for your life? In fact it is important we do this on a regular basis! A wise man once said, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail”. The word says that we should write the vision and make it plain. In other words we need to know what the plan of God is, and we need to declare the plan of God over our lives. In Jeremiah 29:11 God is speaking directly to you. He has a plan and He has thought out all the details for you. He is a good God, amen! He has plans of wholeness for you. Are there any areas of your life that need to be mended? Bring them before God and allow Him to make them whole. He will bring wholeness to your life, and He won’t let you down. He will never leave you nor forsake you. God has a future for you, He is not done with you yet. Salvation is a life long adventure. Jump into the deep with God and step out in faith! Don’t be afraid to do what God has spoken to you. He will see you through, praise God forever more! The last thing God says in Jeremiah 29:11 is that God will give you a hope. That word hope, if you study it, means an expected out come. In other words God has already set you up for victory. He has already set up the out come! He has already blessed you with a supernatural destiny and purpose. Stand today and step into it right now! Live it out! You will love His plan, His purpose, and His destiny for your life. Touching the world with His power, Jeremy Kraus

Signs, Wonders & Miracles in the Karen Hilltribe villages of Thailand

The mountains rejoice! Our journey brought us to northern Thailand, a beautiful place! We traveled northwest towards the Burma border by truck for 2.5 hours, then stopped at a small village to leave our vehicle and continued another two hours up and over the mountains on a very bumpy dirt road. Thank God for the Pastor Santeep who picked us up to travel deep in the mountain jungle to his village of Hui Tatop. When we arrived at the village traditional Karen tribe people greeted us. Most were dressed beautifully in their long hand-woven skirts and brightly colored shirts. We stayed here two days, holding two services. Pastor Santeep is the chief of four villages who are all Christian! God is moving among the Karen people who have a strong spiritual background; those who aren’t Christian practice a mix of witchcraft and Buddhism. But praise God, He is raising up pastors in the villages who are not afraid of the witchdoctors or threats of death! Many villages now have a church and have heard the Gospel!

Thrive Partners with Karen Hill-tribe Pastor Thrive has partnered with Hui Tatop village Pstr Santeep. He is the chief of four villages and doing amazing work as Pastor and chief. Currently Pstr evangelizes to many other Karen villages that are un-reached by the Gospel. Thrive has committed to help bring the Gospel to the Karen hill-tribe people through financial support, clothing and ministry support for Karen pastors.

Both nights that we had services the neighboring villages attended! One village walked about 3k on foot for the service. The first night Jeremy taught on Faith and we laid hands on the sick. God healed four ladies instantly who had back pain! Praise God! One of the older ladies was having rib pains, Jenifer laid hands on her side and her ribs started moving and cracking! Afterward she had no more pain! We also did an alter call for anyone who wanted to be baptized in the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues and about 20 people came forward and were filled! The second night there was a mighty move of the Holy Ghost! Jeremy got up to preach and the spirit of Joy filled the place, all of the Karen people laughing in the Holy Ghost! It is so good to see that even if you are on the other side of the world God is the same!
