Hello Everyone,
May 18, 2020

On May 18, 1920, exactly 100 years ago today, Karol Wojtyla was born in a little town outside of Krakow Poland.  Many of you know him as Pope John Paul the GREAT!  Happy Birthday Papa.


Some updates:

As you can see from the updated graphic, we got an additional $550 since the last update.  We are now very close to our goal of the original $2,000 and we are at $1,385.  Of course God is thanking you for all your generosity.  Rachel will absorb the rest obviously from the income of her pension and old age security payments and for sure within a few months it will be paid.  Then as you are well aware, it will start all over again with a new trip!  Each year God sends Rachel on at least 3-4 larger Mission trips and God has to come up with 20-30 thousand dollars each year. I have no idea how He does it, but since I've witnessed at least for the last 11 years, He has never had to cancel a trip; even during a pandemic!

Okay, regarding our driving trip yesterday.  There will be a more formal write up coming hopefully at the end of the week but for now there are a few highlights to share.  We went in the same rough area she was in during the Kitchener trip.  Many souls were put on the path but the first job was focused around the area near Guelph and Acton.  There are around 100 acres where they practice pagan rituals and worship mother earth.  Many of the souls that were bound up in this activity and in this area will not be going on the path to go up but rather to go down.

We drove for about eleven hours and it was much more difficult than usual because no gas stations would let us use the facilities!  It was a nightmare.

We left the house around 4pm or so and then made a huge loop and ended up at Niagara Falls around 1:30 AM.  We didn't get back to Rachel's until about 4AM.  Thanks again for the prayers and the more we pray for people to have conversions, the better off the whole world will be.

I know that this will be repeated in the next formal write up but this is worth seeing twice.  God said, "you don't know how much this trip meant for me.  Every sacrifice is rewarded".  He also said earlier that "there is nothing more important then doing God's work".



   

Chronicles 7:14
if my people who are called by my name 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.

Hello Everyone,
May 8, 2020

So, this is the final update regarding Kitchener.  It is attached in the email but I will also put it in the usual section 'Latest Mission'.  For the next while all information regarding the ministry, will be sent through the email as usual.

Thanks to a few more people I can update the picture below.
If you remember from last week we started off with the goal of $2,000 to finish off the hotel payment from the Kitchener expense.  We managed to get $835 since the last plea and we now have $1,165 remaining.  Thanks so much to everyone for prayer support and all other kinds during this unstable time and struggle to make sense of this 'new normal'.

It was suggested a while back about an option for helping out instead of giving towards hotel costs etc. and offering towards the 'office supply fundraising' (like in the past we couldn't fix the photocopier and instead bought a printer and also we got the sound card so that we could record sound for the videos etc).   So if you are inclined we are in need of updating the computer. This past week it crashed again and was almost impossible to get something to show on the screen.  It is a 10 year old computer and was state of the art at the time and has great bones; but still needs a few upgrades.  If we are to do anymore fancy work for the blog and record and edit videos etc. it will definitely need these upgrades.  The way it is now you can barely write a word document without issues.  If there is anyone out there interested regarding the details in the spirit of transparency, the updates involve upgrading the computer's ram (from 6GB to at least 32 or 48), a graphics card (GPU), SSD hard drive, the bluetooth/wifi card and a few other peripherals etc.  We already purchased today a program that the Lord recommended called "CleanMyMac X" for Apple computers.  STAY FAR AWAY FROM SOMETHING CALLED 'MACKEEPER' it is a scam and it will infect your computer.    Obviously the Lord didn't just say this out of the blue, 'by the way I recommend this software"...No, it was because I was complaining for the last year and trying to fix it and I showed Rachel on the screen what it is and God said that 'this will work well'.  Also we are to get a yearly subscription of it instead of buying it outright.   I'm putting it 'out there', because I know there are quite a few people who use Mac computers and this program gets rid of all kinds of viruses, malware and also looks for duplicates and junk that is hidden and it knows how to uninstall everything dangerous or duplicates.  It will free up lots of storage as well.  Sorry for rambling on but I know if it is good enough for the Lord's computer, than it will be good enough for yours.  We can get by with me using my own laptop but even that is acting up after 8 years of lots of use.  It is not an absolute necessity like the hotel is because obviously the email is more than enough for keeping people updated and for the usual prayer requests etc.  For those small business owners out there you can relate to this analogy.  If you owned a restaurant and only had 3 or 4 customers on a particular day, and it was a consistent pattern, you would weigh the cost versus profits and probably close for that day.  In this environment we are all adapting and learning. 

Thanks for your time and here is the updated version of my graphic masterpiece!  As you can see we are still $1,165 short but we have made great progress.

Hello Everyone,
May 1, 2020

Happy Feast of Mary Mother of the Church
AND St. Joseph the Worker.

What a great opportunity to update you this week on this very special feast of Mary, the Great Mother of Jesus and the Church and her spouse,  St. Joseph the Worker, foster father of our Lord.

I was asking yesterday about what to do about dinner for tonight and whether to do something special like 'fish n' chips'.   I asked the Lord if we could do something different.  When Rachel asked the Lord, she gasped because she never eats meat on Friday and Jesus had said 'steak'!  Needless to say, God knew ahead of us that there would be THREE wonderful reasons to celebrate today.  So, Jesus wanted steaks but that was a little difficult to pull off well, so we ordered pizza and wings our usual go to take out choice.  Today, we celebrated Sheila's granddaughter that was miscarried many years ago.   We were celebrating her birthday and the wonderful surprise was that she was also entering thru 'THE GATE TO HEAVEN', this very evening.

Praise the Lord, thank you Jesus, for letting little baby Jessica be a saint who can now intercede for all of us.


All the souls that enter Heaven, by way of the work that God does through Rachel, (of course which is supported by all ministry members' prayers, sacrifices and generosity) become an army of Saints that never rest until we are all one day gathered with them in God's heavenly embrace.

Regarding the most recent Kitchener Mission, I know that we made an appeal just before Rachel left (March 27).  We are happy to report that there was some response.  We are about a 1/3 of the way and we are only asking to cover the hotel expense and not the gas, food or other G2H miscellaneous expenses.  We are short exactly $2000 because we already collected $700, so we are off to a great start.  I will quote one of our G2H ministry members who was one of a few that suggested the 'many hands make lighter load' principle.  For example, they have said things like "if it was 2,000 all we need is 20 people giving 100 or 40 people giving 50 etc.".  God has said on numerous occasions that planting a seed each month is advantageous for us and that God can use that seed to help get the process started to set free our ancestors or heal us directly or your family members.  The rest is self explanatory.

Thanks again for your patience during this very difficult time.  May I also direct you to the fact that the second last update for the Kitchener trip was posted in the 'Latest Mission' and if you like there is a beautiful Novena of Mary, Undoer of Knots that you can begin whenever.  To get to this Novena click HERE:
(Any prayer type link will also be saved in the 'Prayer/Devotions' section.)

By the way, thanks to all your solidarity to God's work (on this recent trip to Kitchener) there are now 260 souls that were put on the path and 5 of those souls are now children adopted and part of the greater Gate to Heaven Family.

God bless you and keep up the prayers during this difficult time.
