On August 26, 2023, I was listening to a video of Chuck Lehtinen, a missionary to South America from our church - where he was preaching in Peru - sometimes in English, sometimes in Spanish and the Lord said to me to make my Tribulation Survival book into Spanish.
So in February, 2024, I started working on the translation into Spanish, using an online translation tool. I completed it in early March, 2024 and was praying for someone who could come alongside and review the translation to ensure it was all correct.
On Sunday, April 14, 2024, I'm in our church, sitting behind a woman missionary to Mexico, Christine Garcia. She and her husband have a ministry and farm in Camargo. The Lord tells me to give her a Tribulation book - I carry extra books in my Bible bag. After the service, I introduce myself to her and tell her that the Lord told me to give her this book, that it's a book about Bible prophecy and what will happen to those who are left on the earth after the Rapture of the Church. I also said that I have it translated into Spanish, but I've been praying for someone to review it for accuracy. She immediately said, "I can do that." WOW Praise the Lord!! She was leaving to go back to Camargo the next day. I prayed for her and her ministry and her travel back to Mexico.
I was so excited - the Lord definitely works at the 11th hour!!
In the afternoon, I emailed her the book.
I never heard the rest of the year from Christine - I emailed a couple times saying I was praying for her and for the ministry and asked how the book was coming along. I kept asking the Lord and wondering if there was someone else who should be doing this. But He kept silent! It's called waiting on the Lord!!
Then on January 5, 2025, Christine sent me back the Spanish translation!!
So I sent off this new translation to the printers on January 9, 2025 to get 400 books in Spanish!! Praise Him!
The Lord told me that this first order of Spanish books should be a First Fruits offering into the Spanish community. He said to give 200 books to Christine as a "thank you" for her help in translating. He said to give 100 books to Chuck Lehtinen to take to Peru and give 100 books to Tudor and Susie who go to Rocky Point, Mexico and minister in a prison and orphanage.
So - even though it was not in MY timetable - the Lord worked it out in HIS timetable!!
I pray these books will be a blessing to those who read Spanish and that it will change and transform their lives. I pray for much fruit for the Kingdom, many salvations and many rededications as a result of these books!! AMEN.
