ABOUT HIS LOVE FOR KING OF KINGS —

We remember this about our King — Omukama Oyo, proudly declared his relationship with God despite the open criticism. Despite being a king, he knew there was a King of kings that he deeply prayed and dedicated his life to.

This is greatest testimony —

Though he had earthly throne Karuziika — He knew there is higher throne — Rev 19:16 — On His robe name written KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS — 1 Tim 6:15 — King of kings and Lord of lords — Dan 2:21 — He removes kings and raises up kings — He humbled — James 4:6 — God resists proud, but gives grace to humble

Though open criticism came — Culture mocked when king kneels to Jesus — He was not ashamed — Proudly declared relationship with God — Rom 1:16 — I am not ashamed of gospel of Christ — Matt 10:32 — Whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father in heaven — Like 144,000 with Father's Name on forehead — Rev 14:1

Therefore whether we live or die, we are Lord's — John 11:25 — I am resurrection and life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live — Rev 14:13 — Blessed are dead who die in Lord — May his soul rest in peace —

We (Nico & Karen Schouwenburg) answered the Lord’s call to ministry from a young age & served as missionaries in Eastern Europe & the former Soviet Union & other parts of the world.

We were involved in various ministries from Bible smuggling, teaching, supporting & equipping local churches, leading evangelistic teams, working with the poor & church planting.

It was during that time that we met, when we were both serving in the same mission’s team in Eastern Europe & Russia (church planting in Novosibirsk, Siberia). Since then we planted & pastored churches in the Netherlands ,New Zealand & Australia.

We passionately desire to see people saved & become mature believers & all Christ called them to be through equipping, teaching, prayer & pastoral care.

We focus on building into our flock 4 corners of truth:
*Loving God, loving His Word, loving His Church & loving Israel.
*Steadfastly continuing in the apostles’ teaching, in fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

We desire to be caring, loving, passionate, spirit-filled pastors, to us it is not merely a career but a calling, regardless of money, success or church size.

We strongly believe in signs, wonders & miracles following the preaching of the Word, healing & delivering God's people body, soul & spirit. But we also value testing the "spirits", true Christianity is first of all displayed in the Fruit of the Holy Spirit.

Do you want to join us & help build a local church, that reaches a wide area, from Brisbane North up till Noosa & touches believers on-line anywhere in the world, that are hungry for truth?

GLOBAL SERMON TO FIGHTING NATIONS NOW — AWAKENING — END TIMES WARNING — THROUGH VISIONS SON SHOWN — USA, RUSSIA, MIDEAST, ISRAEL, UK, UKRAINE, IRAN, GAZA, EUROPE, AFRICA

Son warning through visions — Acts of kindness, faithfulness, obedience, love greater than works of Satan — Shedding blood, making weapons of mass destruction — Repent and pursue clean life through faith in Christ or face heavier judgement if refuse — 1 Pet 4:17-18

---

TEXT: 1 Pet 4:17-18 — For time has come for judgment to begin at house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be end of those who do not obey gospel of God? Now if righteous one is scarcely saved, where will ungodly and sinner appear?

Matt 24:6-8 — And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars... For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom... All these are beginning of sorrows.

Joel 2:28-30 — I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions... And I will show wonders in heavens and in earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke.

1. WHAT SON SHOWED THROUGH VISIONS — RED 7 — WHY NATIONS NOW FIGHTING

Son showed me servant Reagan — visions in this last age —

Red 7 — Judgement of correction first to house 1 Pet 4:17 — Purified with love Heb 12:6 — Not hatred — Zech 13:9 — I will bring one-third through fire, will refine them as silver refined, and test them as gold tested. They will call on My name, and I will answer them.

I saw massive sorrow of chastening — house of God — to end massive glory Rom 8:18 — sufferings of this present time not worthy to be compared with glory which shall be revealed.

Then same Red 7 turned to nations — to evil doers — Heavier strokes — Luke 12:47-48 — And that servant who knew his master's will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes... For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required.

I saw Gold pure after Red 7 — Job 23:10 — When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold — Green 7 — 144,000 true Israel not practising sin 1 John 3:9, Rev 14:4-5 — ready for rapture.

But fighting nations refused Red 7 — Therefore heavier judgement coming if refuse — Heb 10:31 — It is fearful thing to fall into hands of living God.

What I saw: Maps — USA, Russia, Mideast, Israel, UK, Ukraine — tanks, drones, missiles, blood in streets, mushroom clouds drawings — Son said: Works of Satan.

2. THIS IS END TIMES — JESUS SAID IT

Matt 24:3 — Disciples asked: Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be sign of Your coming, and of end of age?

Jesus answered for today:

Matt 24:7 — Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.
2 Tim 3:1-3 — Know this, that in last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud... unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal...
Rev 11:18 — Nations were angry, and Your wrath has come.

USA vs Russia — UK with Ukraine — Israel vs Gaza vs Iran — Mideast burning — China watching Taiwan — This is not politics — This is Rev 6:4 — Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to one who sat on it to take peace from earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.

End times clock: Matt 24:33 — So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near — at doors!

3. SON'S WARNING: WORKS OF SATAN VS ACTS OF CHRIST — CHOOSE

Son showed distinction — Through visions:

Works of Satan that fighting nations now do:

Shedding innocent blood — Prov 6:16-17 — These six things LORD hates... hands that shed innocent blood — Gen 9:6 — Whoever sheds man's blood, by man his blood shall be shed — Ukraine fields, Gaza children, Israel hostages, Sudan, Congo — All blood cries Gen 4:10 — Voice of your brother's blood cries out to Me from ground.
Making weapons of mass destruction — nuclear, chemical, AI drones to kill — Ps 37:14-15 — Wicked have drawn sword... to slay those who are of upright conduct. Their sword shall enter their own heart.
Lying, propaganda, sowing discord — Prov 6:19 — false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren.
Pride of thrones — Prov 16:18 — Pride goes before destruction.

Acts that Son says are MAJOR — Greater than Satan's works:

Kindness — Eph 4:32 — Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. — 2 Chron 7:14 — If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
Faithfulness — Gal 5:22-23 — Fruit of Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness... — Keep covenant, not break treaties.
Obedience — 1 Sam 15:22 — Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice — Obey gospel, not generals.
Love to each other — John 13:35 — By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another. — Matt 5:44 — Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you.
Clean life through faith in Christ — 1 John 3:9 — Whoever born of God does not practice sin — Tit 2:11-12 — Grace teaches us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in present age.

Mic 6:8 — He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does LORD require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

Son says: Missile cannot save you — Kindness can — Faithfulness can — Love can — Because 1 Cor 13:13 — Now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but greatest of these is love.

Monks in Greece took apart a 1,500-year-old manuscript of Paul's letters and reused its pages as binding material for other books.
Centuries later, scientists found the lost text hiding in the ink of the pages that replaced it.
Codex H is a sixth-century Greek manuscript containing the letters of the Apostle Paul, one of the oldest and most important New Testament witnesses in existence. In the 13th century, it was dismantled at the Great Lavra Monastery on Mount Athos, and its parchment — valuable and reusable — was cut up and repurposed as binding material and flyleaves for other manuscripts. Its surviving fragments ended up scattered across libraries in Italy, Greece, Russia, Ukraine, and France.
Here's what made recovery possible. At some point the manuscript had been re-inked, and the chemicals in that new ink bled faintly onto the facing pages — a reversed, mirror-image imprint of text that no longer physically existed on the page itself. It was invisible to the naked eye, but not to a camera.
A research team led by Professor Garrick Allen at the University of Glasgow, working with the Early Manuscripts Electronic Library, used multispectral imaging — capturing the parchment under wavelengths from ultraviolet to infrared — to bring those ghost imprints back into view. Combined with radiocarbon dating to confirm the manuscript's sixth-century origin, the team reconstructed 42 lost pages, recovering around 130 verses. The find includes some of the earliest known chapter divisions for Paul's letters and roughly a hundred scribal corrections and annotations, giving scholars a rare window into how early Christians actually studied and compared their copies of Scripture.
And here's the part worth sitting with: the recovered words match the text already preserved in other ancient New Testament copies. After thirteen centuries in pieces, scattered across four countries, cut up and reused as bookbinding — the words hadn't changed.
Share this with someone who thinks ancient texts are fragile things we can't trust.

The Lord is Near

By Vera Malova

August 17th, 2026

I was raised in northern Kazakhstan, but when we moved to the town of Bor in 1993, I remember the TV ads for Pastor John Carter’s evangelistic meetings across the Volga River in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.

Things weren’t going smoothly at home. My husband often took to the bottle, and my eldest son Sasha had started drinking, too. So I was happy when Sasha began attending those meetings every day. They gave him a Bible, and when Sasha brought it home, I began to read it. By the time I reached the New Testament, I’d realized we weren’t living the way God wanted us to, so I read it again.

In the meantime, Sasha was baptized and began inviting me to church. I wanted to support him, but I worked on Saturdays. However, my hands began to ache so badly that I had to go to the hospital and take a break from work. The following Saturday, my son stared at me intently, wondering if I would go to church with him, so I went.

I have a habit of looking people in the eye, and I was amazed to see such kind and affectionate eyes. Everyone was glad to see me, and they all smiled, so I continued going to church and soon decided to be baptized.

On the day before my baptism, my husband came home from work drunk, hit his head, and stopped breathing. My son gave him CPR, but his breathing stopped as soon as he let up.

“Lord, I give my whole family into Your hands!” I cried—and instantly, my husband began breathing again. God literally raised him from the dead!

Although two of my children were baptized, my husband would not surrender to the Lord, threatening and calling me ugly names. Once, in a fit of anger, he began choking me.

Another time, my children attended a youth group while I stayed home, reading my Bible. My husband came in drunk and said, “Aren’t you going to church, too?”

“Yes, I think I will,” I answered.

“Then perhaps you’ll also decide to be baptized!” he snorted.

When I replied that I’d already been baptized, he grabbed a large Kitchen knife and shouted, “Then your life is over!”

His eyes burned with a terrible fire! He lunged at me but suddenly froze in place. He stood there a while, holding the knife and shouting over and over, “You will not live!”

Shaking with fear, I closed my eyes tightly and prayed silently for deliverance. Suddenly, I saw a beautiful rainbow in my mind with fiery letters that read, He will not hurt you!

Throwing the knife down, my husband fell on the sofa, sobbing. My guardian angel had stood between us and protected me! “For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.” Psalm 91:11.

As a family, we began praying earnestly for him. My children tried talking to him about God, but he answered, “That’s just how it’s written in your American Bible.”

Lena bought him a Russian Orthodox Bible with a cross on it, blessed by Patriarch Alexy II, and as she read texts from her Bible, he read the same text in his; and whether from the Old or New Testament, every text matched word for word!

Despite being convinced, my husband continued to drink as our family implored for God’s help. Finally, Sasha asked, “Father, why are you resisting?” He replied, “Okay, I will ask God to help me stop drinking.”

He began carrying the Ten Commandments in his pocket and telling his co-workers and friends that they should follow them. He also promised to go to church but never did. Instead, he drank until he lost the feeling in his legs from his knees on down.

One morning I woke up joyful. My eyes were shining when I said to him, “You cannot imagine how good you’d feel if you’d quit drinking,” to which he replied, “Then I’ll quit today.”

Sadly, that was the day he died from his illness.

It’s impossible to live in this world without God because there are problems such as alcoholism that no one else can solve. My son, who led me to God, eventually stopped going to church and began drinking again. But although he got so bad that he started hearing voices, our whole church family prayed for him, and after many years, he came back to the Lord and sobered again.

Don’t think that the Lord is somewhere far away. He is right here with you! We all live in debt to the Lord, and a price has been paid for our life. Jesus paid the price for each of our days, each piece of bread we eat, and each breath we take. He paid it with His precious blood!

Jeremiah 29:11 and 13 say, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.… And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”

Seek the Lord, for He is near.

WE CAN STAND IN THE GAP!

Child of God,

There is a mandate upon the Church: we are called to occupy until the Master returns.
And part of that occupation is taking spiritual territory through the power of intercession.

Through prayer, we stand in the gap for nations.

Through prayer we can take over territories, mountains and valleys, cities and villages, lands and forests, oceans and seas.

Through prayer we can cry out for the sovereignty of God to be established wherever men and women are found.

Wherever man is found, Jesus must reign as Lord and King.

God's word declares:

“Pray... Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.”

How does His kingdom advance?

When saints bend their knees and cry out to God under the power of the Holy Spirit, we invite divine intervention into families, churches, communities and nations.

Revival can only be ignited when men pray.

This is the time to pray for governments and lawmakers, decision-makers and leaders.

This is the season to pray for troubled regions, warring nations and places where darkness seems to have taken hold.

You can become God's watchman over your family, church, nation, and land.

“I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land...” — Ezekiel 22:30

God is still looking for men and women who will stand in the gap.

He is looking for intercessors who will pray for India, Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, the United States, Ukraine, Russia, North Korea, and the nations of the world.

He is looking for a people who will pray until revival breaks out, God's glory is revealed, and His will is established in the earth.

This is what it means to occupy until He comes.

If you have a passion to see God's sovereignty established over your family, church, nations and territories, I invite you to join us this Tuesday for a powerful 30–40 minutes of Spirit-led intercession.

We will pray.
We will stand in the gap.
We will cry out for the nations.
We will believe God for intervention.
We will contend for revival.
And we believe God will answer.
Revival will spring forth.
Jesus will be glorified.

Nothing Is Wasted

By Sergey Gruzdev

August 5th, 2026

My wife and I are teachers here in Russia, and we tried to raise our children in the best traditions of intelligent families. Our children saw no evil, and we taught them only good. We well remember the first time our daughter was allowed to go for a walk on her own, and how she came back crying. She cried for 15 minutes before we managed to calm her down because one of her girlfriends stuck her tongue out at her!

During this time, we learned about 3ABN Russia’s Bible study courses and my wife became interested. She studied them and then told me she wanted to be baptized. I was a bit worried, but she invited me to the baptism ceremony so that I could see everything with my own eyes.

I had been watching my wife’s transformation for a long time but now I went to her church and met the pastor. He answered all my questions intelligently, according to biblical teachings, so I agreed to her baptism. The minister prayed for me and gave a sheet of the church’s beliefs and doctrines, and again I saw that it was all written in accordance with the Bible. Who am I to disagree with God? I thought, so I asked to be baptized, too. And that is how, in one day, my wife and I became spiritually close. In fact, we decided to both be baptized the same day!

At the time, I was a hiking and mountain tourism instructor and loved my job very much. But after my baptism, when I began to observe all the commandments of God, my friends said, “You need to forget about tourism.”

That worried me for a while, because at the time I did not yet know that God finds use for each of our gifts, abilities, and talents. Now, I’m convinced that our abilities develop and become even more vivid when we use them for the Lord!

As a result of my thoughts and prayers, we decided to form a Pathfinder Club for young people. The children from church and I made many hiking trips—including some into the mountains. They learned how to survive in wilderness conditions, and they fell in love with God’s great outdoors. A hike began to mean more than physical exercise—it meant fresh air, friendship development, and teamwork. There were bonfires, fun, and laughter. And we studied nature, geography, grass, water, stones, and stars.

Before and during our hikes we pray that the Lord will bless us. We are constantly in His presence and under His protection and our minds are clear of all unnecessary things. There are spiritual moments when we study the Word of God, share our experiences with God, and pray for each other and for the solution of our problems. When a situation comes up and we don’t know what to do, we ask God for help.

Once such case came up when our route was not shown on the map. We’d covered many kilometers and were very tired but still a long way from our campground. And we prayed and asked for a shorter way, and soon we saw a faint path overgrown with grass in the forest and decided to follow it. God shortened our trek by four kilometers that day, and in addition it ran on flat terrain!

When we arrived, a noisy group of about 50 drunken young people were nearby, and their speech was abundantly seasoned with obscene expressions, which, of course, we didn’t want to hear. Since it was already 9:00 p.m., it was too late to head to another campground, so we turned to the Lord, that He would change this unpleasant situation. Right then, our neighbors decided to leave for another campground eight kilometers away! There was no doubt that the Lord had answered our prayer.

There are habits we should develop, and others that lead to degradation. As Paul says in 1 Corinthians 6:12, “All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful.” We have to choose what is useful. I do not regret that I entered into a covenant with God, and He has found a use for all my gifts and given me more than I ever had before!
