News From Singapore

Posted on January 26, 2010

Dear Friends,

Greetings from Singapore in Jesus’ wonderful name!

The Lord is blessing us – me and Mario Steyn from Lewende Woord – in this incredible city.

I have never seen a city like Singapore – it is a super city without comparison.  As many of you know, God has shown me that one of three church planting bases – the other being in Moscow and Mumbai – will be established in Singapore.  During my meeting with key leaders here, it has been confirmed that God has showed them that this city-state will become like Antioch (see Acts 13) to Asia.

We are making progress here much quicker than I could ever have hoped for.  Still, the most important purpose of this trip is to listen to the Father as He is revealing more about the future of this church planting base to us.

Thank you for praying with us!  We are all standing together to see the multitudes of the nations of Asia come into the Kingdom of God.

Once back in Moscow, I will write in more detail.

In Christ,
Hugo

Kingdom Global India

Posted on November 24, 2009

Taking hands to Advance the Kingdom of Jesus Christ Globally

Dear friends and co-labourers in the Kingdom,

By now many of you have heard about the incredible doors the Lord has opened to us in India.  More than 300 pastors in the province of Andhra Pradesh, East of Hyderabad, have decided to come under the cover of Kingdom Global.  This is the result of a series of events orchestrated by the Lord.  Kingdom Global India is about to be born!

In the natural this is incredible, as we haven’t yet set foot on Indian soil.  In the spiritual realm though, this makes perfect sense, as in the last years and especially since the beginning of 2009, the Lord has started to talk very clearly to me about India.  During prayer, He has also been revealing to me aspects about the coming ministry in the coming years and even decades in India.  SOME OF THE THINGS HE HAS SHOWN ME IN PRAYER IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, much faster than I could have anticipated.

Vision For A City Church

Posted on November 2, 2009

Dear Friends and Fellow Kingdom Citizens,

Today, during our Sunday service in the Kingdom of Heaven Church in Moscow, I once again emphasized a few key pointers for the vision of our church:

1. The Key Scripture is Mat. 6:10 “Your Kingdom come.  Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”
2. The Motto of our church is “Heaven in Every Home”
3. Our Church is going to become a One Million Member City Church.  An integral part of that vision is to plant a local church in each of Moscow’s 123 districts.  Even before the average size of each local church will be 10 000 members, the total amount of city church members will already be more than one million.
4. Consequently we have a vision for preparing ministers for all those churches on a constant basis.
5. We have a vision for nation-wide and global church planting.  As our light shines far into the nations, it will also shine brightly at home.
6. The vision will be fulfilled by abiding in Christ and learning how to get into and stay in the flow and anointing of the Holy Spirit.  We don’t believe that a high-powered, pressurized atmosphere will result in the abundant fruit we are looking for.  Rather, an atmosphere of faith, hope and love will produce fruit that will multiply and last for all eternity.  (See Jn. 15:16)
7. We believe that each member has his important and unique place in the family of God.  As we humbly and respectfully take hands with one another, always focusing on Christ alone, we will see the multitudes of Moscow and Russia come to God the Father to worship Him in spirit and in truth.

Wherever you are, if you want to become actively involved in this vision, whether it be by praying, giving or coming over, I would like to hear from you!

With love in Christ,
Hugo

Armenia Report

Posted on October 28, 2009

Dear fellow ministers in the Kingdom of God,

Yes, if you are praying with us, supporting us financially, or if you are one of those who constantly encourages us in the ministry the Lord has called us to, then know that you are a precious and much appreciated fellow minister in the Kingdom of God.

The Lord has blessed our conference in Artashat, Armenia. It was the first conference with Elza Meyer from Moreleta Church in Pretoria, South Africa. Elza is indeed a powerful and mature minister of the word, with a very specific mandate from God. It was a joy to minister with her and her team, and we believe that great fruit is going to come out of this conference.

Kursk Youth Conference And Other News

Posted on October 21, 2009

Greetings from Moscow in Jesus’ name!

The Lord has greatly blessed the youth conference in Kursk. I am so blessed by the A-Team from South Africa: Mathys, JC and Marcel. Anointed, focused and humble ministers with a tremendous future of ministry ahead of them.

The Lord blessed the conference with great worship, strong word, healings, prophecy and various gifts of the Holy Spirit. Team ministry releases the corporate anointing!

It was great to see Mission Russia missionary Maryna Vos in Kursk. She is a real mother to the youth of that city.

All-in-all we were a team of eight people from Moscow, each moving in his specific gifting. What a joy!

ARMENIA
Tomorrow morning I will be flying to Erevan, the capital of Armenia, where Elza from Moreleta Church from Pretoria and her team will meet up with us.

We will then go to Artashat, a city in the foothills of Mt. Ararat, where the conference Elza and I will host will begin on Thursday and finish on Sunday. On Sunday I will already leave Artashat for Erevan, to preach at a church led by an Iranian apostle.

Visit To Likino-Dulyova

Posted on October 2, 2009

Dear Friends,

Please pray for my visit to Likino-Dulyova, a city to the east of Moscow. This city is close to Orekhovo Zuevo, which is known as a major center for distributing drugs.

I hope to soon give you feedback on my ministry trip to the Ukraine and Crimea.

May the Holy Spirit continue to give us all deeper revelation of the truth that the living, reigning, resurrected, glorious Christ is living in us, His children. Christ in us, the hope of glory!

In Him,
Hugo

Back From Israel – Shalom From Moscow

Posted on September 17, 2009

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

Shalom to you all from Moscow in Jesus name!

Israel was of course an experience beyond words.  Jerusalem, Qumram, the Sea of Galilee, Nazareth…

I was especially blessed to stand in the Valley of Elah where David zapped Goliath.  I even brought a big rock with me from the very stream were David picked his stones.  This rock now occupies VIP space on my working desk, reminding me that I have to run to the giants before me, destroying them in the name of the Lord of hosts!  Walking down the 533m water tunnel that King Hezekiah dug in 700 BC was also a very interesting experience.
