God is getting ready to do some really exciting things in 2012

This is just a very short note to ask for your prayers for the next few weeks. We have some strategic events about to take place.

January 22-24, 2012: The PRMI Board Meeting

We have presented to the PRMI Board a full plan for “nurturing the trees that have been planted.” Now what does that mean? It means that in 2010-2011 we received clear guidance from the Holy Spirit as to how we were called to put in place the means to extend PRMI’s equipping ministry as expressed in the Dunamis Project all over the world.

The key aspect of this is launching the Dunamis Institute as the means of providing the teaching. We are really excited about this and you can get a glimpse of this on our new Dunamis Institute website, www.dunamisinstitute.org, which has just gone live!

Please pray for us and for the Board of Directors as we will be making key decisions for the future.

January 25,2012: A day of equipping for the newly called Dunamis Institute Faculty and Apprentice Teachers

They will be coming from around the world! On Thursday, Jan. 26 they will be formally commissioned at the Dunamis Fellowship International annual meeting. The 25th is an intensive equipping session so that they may be able to use the Internet tools that we have just put in place to enable us to offer teaching and also keep connected across the globe.

Merry Christmas from the PRMI Black Mountain Ministry Team

Giving praise for the miracle of the “Word became flesh”

Now the Word became flesh and took up residence among us. We saw his glory — the glory of the one and only, full of grace and truth, who came from the Father. (John 1:14 NET)

This Christmas Pray …

This Christmas Pray for Christians in Muslim Lands and Muslims to Come to Know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior

“A Christian minister who has had heated arguments with Muslims on his TV Gospel show has been brutally attacked by three men who ripped off his cross and warned: ‘If you go back to the studio, we’ll break your legs.’”

For the full Story go to http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/shows/cwn/2009/March/UK-Minister-Brings-Muslims-to-Christ-/

This event happened back in 2009 but its effects were still vivid in the heart of the Rev. Noble Samuel, the Pakistani pastor I (Brad Long) just met at the UK Growing the Church event. As he told his story of how he had been attacked by three Muslim men, I just assumed that this was somewhere in Pakistan. But then, with a shock I realized that this attack had taken place in West London, England!

It is clear that Satan is seeking to stop the advance of the Gospel of Jesus Christ into the Muslim world by any means possible, including not just the threat of death, but actual attacks upon Christians.

The Rev. Nobel Samuel has lived in England for 18 years and serves as the pastor and leader of the West London United Reformed Asian Christian Fellowship which is a thriving and growing congregation of people from Pakistan and India. He also has an hour-long TV program that goes all over the Urdu-speaking world via the internet. In that show, which welcomes people to call in with their questions, he has been able to share Christ with many Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs of all nationalities living in London. Many come hungry for answers to life’s questions and many have come to faith in Jesus Christ. He has also come under attacks from Muslims, and in this case was physically assaulted.

A Transformed Life

The following is the third in a series of stories, which highlight how the Lord, through the power of His Holy Spirit and the teachings of PRMI, transformed a life.

Sadoni’s Story


by Gary Wybenga

Pere (Father) Sadoni Leon is relaxed as he sits on his patio on a pleasant afternoon in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Typically, as you might imagine, Haiti is hot. Not today. Today is very comfortable. It’s a great day for an outside interview.

Pere Sadoni, a priest in the Episcopal Church of Haiti and member of Dunamis Fellowship International (DFI), is part of the leadership team of the Evangelism Committee of the Haiti Diocese. (The Committee includes other DFI members—Pere Colbert Estil, the Committee Chair, and Pere Jean Jacques Deravil.) Sadoni is one of many Haitian priests and lay leaders who have participated in the Dunamis Project, which has taken place in Haiti over the last seven years. In spite of a presidential coup, devastating hurricanes, a horrific earthquake, a cholera epidemic, and political unrest, Sadoni attended all six events (plus three in Michigan). Following is how the Lord has impacted Sadoni’s life through Dunamis and PRMI.

Sadoni was born and raised in a Christian family. His dad was a leader in the Episcopal Church of Haiti and Sadoni became an acolyte in the church. In 1987, at the age of 11, he “felt the call of Jesus.” When a primary school teacher asked all the children what they wanted to be when they grew up, he said, “I want to become a priest.” Once declaring his desire to become a priest, Sadoni began to grow in his relationship with Jesus and, even though he did not realize it at the time, he began his relationship with the Holy Spirit in earnest. He admits not knowing about the Spirit until he was in seminary and attended his first Dunamis course. “I didn’t know anything about the Holy Spirit until 2004, when PRMI held the first Dunamis Project in Haiti. It was at that time that I began to understand that I live with the Holy Spirit. I began to understand His role in my life.” Sadoni said that most of the time we as Christians ignore the Holy Spirit’s role in our lives. “We pray to Father and Son, but not the Holy Spirit.” Read the rest of this entry »

Launching Growing the Church in the Power of the Holy Spirit in the United Kingdom

Growing The Church in the Power of the Holy Spirit – The Two Foundations and Seven Dynamics for Cooperating with the Holy Spirit

Right now in the United Kingdom there are more mosques being built than churches. Many church buildings are empty, congregations often have a few aging members, and some denominations are in steep decline.

But I am convinced that God is reversing this trend, pouring out His Holy Spirit to renew and grow the Church in the United Kingdom. There are many alive and growing congregations in the British Isles and many who have been touched by the Holy Spirit and are on fire with a vital and contagious Christianity. These on-fire congregations are often shining lights within the traditional denominations where many congregations are struggling and are served by pastors who are often discouraged and over-worked.

The challenge that we see and are determined to meet is: how do we bring the fire of the Holy Spirit into these other congregations?

Healing Ministry of Jesus Christ

The Healing Ministry of Jesus Christ! Dunamis Project Equipping Event # 4 Jesus’ Healing Power and Love!

Would you like to see your congregation growing in healing ministry? I (Brad Long) believe it is God’s intention that every congregation be a place where the healing love and power of Jesus Christ may be experienced.

We have always taught that Jesus’ healing includes all the dimensions of reality, our spirit, our soul or body, our relationships, indeed the nations and the whole created order. The church must be a place for Jesus’ healing works as an expression of the full extent of the Gospel.

Needs for Multiplying Dunamis Tracks Worldwide

“In this short 5:43 min video done at the Community of the Cross the Holy Spirit was on me at that moment to share the vision and the need at that time. Share the vision with us for the glory of Jesus Christ.” Brad Long

Starting in 1966, Jesus Christ gave PRMI the calling and anointing to provide the teaching materials, the organization and the anointed people needed to create venues where Jesus may be fulfilling Acts 1: 5,8 so that Christians may be empowered to fulfill the Great Commission.

The mandate has taken many program expressions such as Spirit Alive. Starting in 1991 until the present, the main way has been through the Dunamis Project.

Partnership in South Sudan

Establishing a Ministry Partnership in South Sudan

A short video presentation of Brad Long with Bishop Abraham introducing the partnership

Have you heard of the Lost Boys of Sudan? These were 1000’s of boys as well as girls who walked over a thousand miles, fleeing the Islamic Jihad that has been waged against Christians in Sudan for decades. About 2 million Christians have been murdered with thousands more taken into slavery, a practice condoned by Islam even in the 21st Century. For the last year we have been getting to know one of those “lost boys” Abraham Nhial. He has written an excellent book called, “Lost Boy No More.” Abraham has recently been called as a Bishop in the Anglican Church and is a leader in the world’s newest-birthed nation of South Sudan.
