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.
In the spring of this year (2019) the Lord began talking to me about publishing the book "Finding God's Plan For Your Life." He had told me back in 2001 that it would be published someday, but I wasn't sure how or when. God mostly does not let you in on all the details :)
This spring I taught this information as a 9-week class at my church. When Lance Ivey, an evangelist and speaker came to our church and heard about this class, he told me I needed to hurry and make it into a book. A few weeks later, I was asked by a woman in California if I would do the seminar for her. So we took a few days and drove over and did the seminar at her kitchen table. She also said "you are just one person and you can't go everywhere, so you need to publish this into a book so it can get out to more people." Then one of our Pastors at our church also told me I should publish this information. So I told the Lord - "Wow - 3 confirmations - I got it Lord!!"
I was praying about how to take a seminar with all the information and parts and make it into a book when I saw a commercial on TBN for Trilogy Publishing (their book publishing subsidiary). As soon as I saw it - the Lord said - "Send your book to them." I didn't know anything about them or how to send in my material, so I googled them and on their website, it had the name and picture of the person in charge. I thought this name sounded familiar and then I was reminded by the Lord that this was the person who had helped me with my non-profit paperwork for my ministry, Getting Your HOUSE in Order, in 2002!! I looked in my file cabinet and there was his name on all my paperwork!! I was so excited and amazed how the Lord works!!
So August 15, 2019 I sent in the manuscript. Soon after, they contacted me saying they wanted to publish the book and we had our initial talk on September 10th. This was the initial day in 2001 that the Lord had started pouring in all the information he wanted me to share with women in my ministry - 1 day before 9/11!!!
So PRAISE THE LORD - now the book is finished and will be released January 14, 2020. I am praying that the Lord uses this information in a mighty way to impact the lives of many people who will find God's plan for their lives.
