We are so glad to have an amazing team of teachers, pastors, and missionaries who consistently travel to Cuba with us. We are especially happy to have such a wonderful group of supporters and financial partners here who continue to send us so we can share the good news. stay tuned for updates.
 

Cuba Update 

By: Dr. Johnny Moffitt

  

Once again God moved in a powerful way in Cuba. Our team was great. Each one was anointed by God to deliver just the right word.


Many lives were changed and pastors were encouraged to keep preaching Jesus, even under much difficulty. 

This is Cuba’s time. We must keep building up the spiritual leaders of this nation and helping them to carry on. Please pray for Cuba.

Thank you for all you do to help WVIW carry the love of God and the message of Jesus Christ to the least of these—the oppressed—and the special gospel workers in very tough circumstances.  It is because you care that we are able to go.  May God richly bless you.

Kemp Holden, Chairman, Worldwide Evangelism

Kemp Holden, Chairman, Worldwide Evangelism

KEMP HOLDEN began ministering on the streets of San Antonio, Texas, to young soldiers leaving for the Vietnam War. While attending Bible School in San Antonio, he met the “love of his life” Carol, and they were married at a young age in 1964. Their passion for missions placed them in Jamaica where they built a church and a school. Returning to the U.S. they planted a church “Harvest Time,” in Fort Smith, Arkansas, where they pastored for 38 ½ years. Now he and Carol live in Gulf Shores, Alabama. They have two daughters and son-in-laws, who have given them four incredible grandchildren-the joy of their lives!

Marriage Seminar Testimonial 2019

 “Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” —Hebrews4:16

Our Marriage Seminars continue to make a difference in so many lives of the couples who are in the Texas prison system.  Here is just an example of the results we are seeing.

Hi Betty,

It's been 3 years since my husband and I last saw you and your husband at the Wynne Unit in Huntsville! Just wanted to share that my husband and I are legally married, we are stronger than ever in our commitment and vows. God has blessed us tremendously. I am now the next leader for a KAIROS Outside for Woman in Central Texas.God has used my life in KAIROS Woman's Ministry and Immanuel Motorcycle Ministry. Immanuel MM goes the the Ney unit sharing the gospel. I go and share my testimony of how being a wife, mom and sister to the one's I love who are incarcerated. My husband and I still remember our first encounter as a couple and going through the Marriage seminar. I still remember the 3%,we are going strong as Jesus leads and we follow. My husband has become an amazing Man. In the last 3 years we have never encountered another ministry like WVIW. My husband is now at the Torres Unit and he has taken what he learned and imparts that to these men who's marriages are falling apart. God is good! You all are in our prayers...”

 

We are grateful for stories like these because they encourage us to keep going. We know God has placed families in our lives to be both a blessing to and to be blessed by. We hope you will pray with us for more opportunities in 2019 to encounter couples who need a testimony like the one above.

We have a big year ahead of us and we are counting on you to help us reach as many people as possible.  

 

God Bless You, 

— Johnny  

International Update

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord
— Romans 8:37-39 (NIV)

By: Dr. Johnny Moffitt

This passage of scripture is one of my favorites.  Paul is telling us who we are when tough times come or hard things happen.  “We are more than conquerors.”  He could say that because he had experienced persecution, distress, calamity, suffering, hunger, affliction, and tribulation; and those experiences qualified him to speak out.  In all this he was victorious…an overcomer…more than a conqueror.

We are More Than Conquerers

Paul knew Christ lived in him, and Christ in him was the hope of glory.  We have that same Christ in us, which becomes our hope. We do not have to be afraid of what may come.  Perfect love casts out fear, and Christ in us is perfect love. Yes, even in the midst of all that is going on in our lives, we can have peace, just like Paul.

God’s perfect love removes any and all fear in the midst of our troubles.  Do not be afraid. Take your eyes off of your situation or what is to come, and look to Him who loves us.  Nothing in all creation will be able to separate you from His love. It is His perfect gift to you, and it never fails!

This month has been a special time of blessing for WVIW.  

I conducted a Manhood Seminar in the LaBlanc Prison in Beaumont, Texas.  Although this was my first time in this prison, I saw many men I had met in other Texas prisons.  When you have been going to these prisons as long as I have, you are bound to see men in different prisons.  They become not only people we minister to, but also friends.

We try to live lives victoriously before these men so that they might see that Christ in them can bring them that same hope.  They can be more than conquerors…victorious…and overcomers. That same God who lived in Paul, lives in us, and can live in them.

Pray for us as we host a Marriage Seminar in the Gibb Lewis Prison this month.  We are also getting ready to take a team back to Cuba in December, and a team to the prisons of Honduras in February.  We know in all this we are overcomers…victorious…and more than conquerors.


Thank you for all you do to help WVIW carry the love of God and the message of Jesus Christ to the least of these—the oppressed—and the special gospel workers in very tough circumstances.  It is because you care that we are able to go.  May God richly bless you.

If you can help us close out 2018 with a financial gift, please go to our donation site, www.wviw.com, and do so by December 31 in order to receive tax credit in 2018. 

You can mail your gift to WVIW, PO Box 740273, Dallas, Texas 75374, by midnight December 31.

Grace and Forgiveness

The story of Johnny’s miraculous life is told in the book, DELIVERED, R.H. Publishing, Frisco, Texas, publishers. Johnny ministers under the anointing of the Holy Spirit with signs following. His variegated past and unique sense of humor, provide color to his message.

Grace and Forgiveness

By: Dr. Johnny Moffitt

“I am writing to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name.”

1 John 2:12New International Version (NIV)

I have been going to prisons around the world for over forty years.  Many times I have heard one of these people who have committed terrible crimes, say, “I don’t think I’ve been able to forgive myself because part of me doesn’t believe that I deserve to be forgiven.”

I wish this was an isolated comment, lifted from a single conversation, but I have heard the same confession from hundreds of prisoners and non-prisoners alike, all over the world.  If forgiveness were offered only to those who deserve it, we would all be doomed.  Every one of us.

Here’s one verse we often use as a hickory switch, thrashing ourselves whenever we stumble:

“…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”

Romans 3:23 New International Version (NIV)

And that’s true, we have sinned.  We’ve already embraced that reality.  We know we fall short of perfection.  Way short.  But notice something interesting about that familiar verse: it ends with a comma.  Meaning sin is not the whole story.  Check out the rest of the sentence:

“…and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”

Romans 3:24 New International Version (NIV)

We are not to stop at sin, then; we are to move on to grace.  Freely.  No payment on our part is required, because the cost has already been paid in full, and we’ve been redeemed.  We have done nothing to deserve this free gift.  We simply hold out our hands and say, “Thank you.”

That is grace!  A gift.  With a tag that reads, “For you.”

How often have we fixed on the “sin: and forgotten the “grace”.  No wonder we find it so hard to forgive ourselves.  We’re thinking punishment.  God is thinking Christmas.

It is hard to receive a gift we feel we do not deserve.  But forgiveness is not that kind of gift.  It flows in one direction: from God to you.  And you are worthy---not because you think so, but because God deems it so.

Your heavenly Father is holding out the gift of grace and forgiveness, purchased by his Son’s blood.  No gift has ever cost more.  Receive it and forgive yourself.

International Prison Ministry in Honduras

“Lord,” he said, “now I can die content! For I have seen him as you promised me I would. I have seen the Savior you have given to the world.”
— Luke 2:29-31 Living Bible

Johnny Moffitt praying over the Ministry Leaders at Puerta del Cielo in La Ceiba, Honduras.

International Prison Ministry in Honduras

By: Dr. Johnny Moffitt

That is the way I felt, as I entered the maximum security, National Penitentiary, in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.  We had gone there to minister to the more than 4,000 inmates.  Over 500 men had died from fires in that prison in the last ten years.  Our team consisted of me, Betty (my wife), Travis Moffitt (our son), Pastor David Humphries, missionary Michael Scudiero, missionary Mitch Arbeláez of Go to Nations, our driver and Connect Global Honduras National Director-Jorge Amador, and several local prison volunteers.

I have ministered in prisons in twenty-seven nations, and I have never seen anything like what we witnessed.  After clearing security, we entered the prison.  Immediately, we were met with a gauntlet formed by over 300 prisoners standing on both sides of the sidewalk, for over 100 yards.  The video we took of our passing through this line is over three minutes long.  These men were clapping and cheering and reaching out to shake our hands.  In the background, over the cheering, we could hear the sound of several shofars announcing a call to worship throughout the prison.  I was captivated by this display of love and honor paid to us by these men.

In the yard where we were to have our service, were over 900 men waiting for the Word of God brought to them by this team of Americans.  It was absolutely amazing!  I will never forget it.  We worshiped, danced, sang, and there was great joy in this very dangerous prison.  For just a few hours peace ruled.  And to top it off, over 200 men gave their hearts to Jesus that day.  All glory to Him!!!

After the service, the prisoners actually served the team lunch.  In this prison where food is a valuable commodity, somehow, these men fed us a wonderful meal of chicken, potatoes, and plantains.  I felt like Simeon of old, when he first saw Jesus; “now I can die content.”  I don’t mean today—I mean I am content with my ministry and know I   am doing what God called me to do.
