A letter of testimony written by one of the Pastor’s wives from Trinidad about the March trip. 3-30-09
I had the privilege of working with Pastor Lee and his crew on a few occasions and the job that they did was tremendous. There was a storm brewing in spirit realm wherever their feet thread. I will talk about one of his missions in a village named Carlsen Field. But first I would like to establish a few points. Even though we have born again believers in Christ in our country because of the outpouring of the gospel, there are still many people who are held captive by a wide scope of religious beliefs, these people are either Hindus, Muslims or Orishas the list can go on and on. This means that the children that Pastor Lee and his crew were ministering to came predominantly from hinduistic or islamic background. Now this was the case in Carlsen Field

Pastor Lee and the team came face to face with strongmen in the area with the Lord as their shield and buckler. They entered deep into the spirit in prayer and warfare literally rearranging the heavens over them. Bearing in mind Mark 3:27 – No one can enter a strongman’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. And then he’ll plunder his house. One must understand and take into account Ephesians 6:10-12 – Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armour of God, that you may stand in the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places.
Lets look at Numbers 8:16-17 – For they are wholly given to Me from among the children of Israel; I have taken them for myself instead of all who open the womb, the first born of all of all the children of Isreal. For all the firstborn among the children of Israel are Mine, both man and beast; on the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them to Myself. So we see from these verses that it is customary of God to sanctify children to Himself as His own.
Bear in mind that Satan loves to counterfeit everything of God. In our country especially within the Hindu home, parents would conduct a ritual with their child and offer him up to their Hindu gods which are really demons. The names of these gods may be Hanuman, Krishna, Shiva, Khali, the list can go on and on.
You may wonder, what does that mean? It means because these children are offered up to these gods, Satan has usurped unlawful authority over these Innocent children. When Pastor Lee ministers the truth to these children of Jesus Christ they take back for God what Satan has stolen, they now belong to Christ. Whether they accept Jesus then or on a later date because a seed was sewn in their spirit it would eventually germinate and take root and behold another soul will be won for the Kingdom of God. Pastor Lee and his crew did what they were commissioned to do.
Added by Lee 4-7-09 In reference to ” what they were commissioned to do ” I would like to add this. Before the trip the Lord gave me these verses as the commission of what to do and what to expect. This was our assignment for the trip.
Matthew 10
Jesus Sends Out the Twelve
1He called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out evil[a] spirits and to heal every disease and sickness.
2These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; 3Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; 4Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
5These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. 6Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. 7As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’ 8Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy,[b]drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. 9Do not take along any gold or silver or copper in your belts; 10take no bag for the journey, or extra tunic, or sandals or a staff; for the worker is worth his keep.
11″Whatever town or village you enter, search for some worthy person there and stay at his house until you leave. 12As you enter the home, give it your greeting. 13If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. 14If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town. 15I tell you the truth, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town. 16I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.
17″Be on your guard against men; they will hand you over to the local councils and flog you in their synagogues. 18On my account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles. 19But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, 20for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
21″Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death. 22All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. 23When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. I tell you the truth, you will not finish going through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
24″A student is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. 25It is enough for the student to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebub,[c] how much more the members of his household!
26″So do not be afraid of them. There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. 27What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. 28Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29Are not two sparrows sold for a penny[d]? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. 30And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
32″Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. 33But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.
34″Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn
” ‘a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law –
36a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.'[e]
37″Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; 38and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
40″He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives the one who sent me. 41Anyone who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and anyone who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward. 42And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward.”
