State of <strong>Moriel</strong> 2009<br />

For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.<br />

As we look to the closing year of the first decade of the new millennium, the past calendar year has been an interesting<br />
one indeed.<br />
It is a year when we saw rectification of the disaster we encountered the previous year of the rape of our school girls in<br />
Tanzania by pagan tribesman and the <strong>Moriel</strong> girls school near Mt. Kilimanjaro. <strong>The</strong> cry of the mission field in Africa however<br />
remains the recruitment of indigenous Black Africans who are doctrinally sound and financially honest. This is a massive<br />
problem, not peculiar to Africa, but endemic throughout most of <strong>The</strong> Third World. We have a sound brother of integrity<br />
in India and one in Tanzania, but it is a huge problem.<br />
This past year was a good year also in that unlike 2008 when we painfully lost a little baby girl named Angel, we have<br />
had none of our HIV orphans or AIDS babies die in 2009 for which we indeed praise Jesus. Moreover, new babies were<br />
acquired by both Ebyown and Bezaleel .<br />
This year we also opened <strong>Moriel</strong> Japan as a springboard into other Far Eastern nations, as well as a branch for Japan<br />
under the direction of Geoff Toole assisted by his Japanese wife.<br />
We also expanded our ministry in Israel to support another congregation in Galilee as well as an Arabic ministry. Due to<br />
increased opposition from Ultra orthodox Jewish activist groups such as Yad L’Achim, we cannot publicly disclose many<br />
details about the evangelistic and church planting ministries we help sponsor in Israel.<br />
<strong>Moriel</strong> planted and affiliated churches continue to grow numerically. Unfortunately however, this is dominated by picking<br />
up refugees from apostate churches and providing spiritual homes to the churchless, and not enough through people<br />
actually getting saved. While we rejoice in those coming out of error through <strong>Moriel</strong> and our sister ministries, our desire is<br />
to see more saved and disciple. Having said this, the numbers of Moslems being saved through the ministry of <strong>Moriel</strong> has<br />
increased, and those saved out of Mormonism etc. also continues. <strong>The</strong> annual outreach in Utah directed by David Lister<br />
continues. <strong>The</strong> number of those being saved through <strong>Moriel</strong> preachers at non <strong>Moriel</strong> venues also appears to have increased.<br />
<strong>The</strong> largest blessing however has been in Indonesia, the world’s most populace Islamic nation. <strong>Moriel</strong> now receives more<br />
internet visitors from Indonesia than from any other country except the USA and one of goals for 2012 is to have a website<br />
in the Bahasa language.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Five Question Series from ‘<strong>The</strong> Gospel In <strong>The</strong> Last Days’ conference, seems to have the most impact evangelistically<br />
seeing the most saved.<br />
<strong>Moriel</strong> also saw 2009 expand its participation in our support of the ministry of Roger Oakland in Burma and <strong>The</strong> Philippines.<br />
Among impoverished children. On the down side, among others both Roger Oakland and myself (Jacob Prasch)<br />
have both suffered major crises of health in 2009. I had to cancel my Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, and South Pacific<br />
itineraries and also the Greece bible study tour due to medical considerations. By His grace <strong>The</strong> Lord has spared us both.<br />
By <strong>The</strong> Lord’s grace, due to expansion of the ministry, the economic downturn has not impeded the new growth. For this<br />
too we remain grateful to God.<br />
<strong>The</strong> popularity of the Jacob Prasch TV program on Genesis TV, <strong>Moriel</strong> internet TV, and GV 24/7 have also been an<br />
encouragement.<br />
This year of 2009 will also witness the first <strong>Moriel</strong> Creation conference in the UK with the theme “the Death of Darwinism”.<br />
Despite significant areas of disappointment and health setbacks, 2009 has on the whole been a fairly good year by God’s<br />
grace. Our task now is to seek <strong>The</strong> Lord for His purposes for 2010. While we above all give thanks to <strong>The</strong> Lord, we also<br />
earnestly thank all of our brethren for their prayers, support, and help.<br />
On behalf of David Lister, Dave Royle, Allison, Carol, Danny, John, Jack & Loretta, Chris & Jackie (who are expecting<br />
their first baby), Scot & Deb, Mark & Carrie, Nigel, Marg & Pam, Geoff, Sal & Di, Alan & Sue, Skip, Marco, Wayne &<br />
Sharon, Ronnie, Darren, Julie, Alec, and all at <strong>Moriel</strong> our prayerful wish is that the forthcoming year shall be one of blessing<br />
and of the salvation of as yet unsaved loved ones.<br />
In Yeshua (Jesus),<br />
Jacob Prasch & <strong>Moriel</strong><br />
(Philippians 1:6)<br />
