Women have often told me, "Your husband is the only preacher my unsaved husband will watch!" One pastor's wife said, "My dad is a total heathen and hates preachers, but he never misses Jesse's television program!"

Testimonies like these always bless me because I love to see the Spirit of God draw people out of darkness and into the light of the Gospel. Those lost loved ones may think they are tuning in just to laugh, but the Holy Ghost has ambushed their hearts and is opening their eyes to see the Truth.

Before they know what is happening, lives are born again and families are restored. The anointing of the evangelist always draws the lost to Jesus.

Citation X: A Tool for World Evangelism!
The main focus of this ministry has always been World Evangelism. Since Jesse hit the evangelism road in 1978, he has ministered in countless convention centers and well over 1,000 different local churches across America and the world - sometimes zigzagging the country within one short week. And that's a lot of traveling!

Several years ago, the Lord blessed us with a Citation Eagle jet, which made it possible for Jesse to preach to more people in the US than ever before. Jesse hung a sign in it that says, "God's been good to Jesse," and we thank God for it every day.

So when the Lord began to deal with Jesse about believing Him for a Citation X (ten), a larger corporate jet with the speed and fuel capacity to fly anywhere in the world, he said, "But Lord, I don't want it. I'm satisfied."

God replied, "I'm not," and instructed Jesse to stretch his faith for this new jet. Why? Because it is a tool for world evangelism and will help Jesse reach other nations of the world with the Gospel.

As these last days draw to a close, it's time to speed up the work and reach more nations for God. Like Jesse says, "I didn't ask for it. God told me to believe for it!" So we are praying in obedience to God and know that He will bring it to pass! Glory!

I am reminded about what the Apostle Paul wrote in Philippians 3:13,14:

I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made my own yet; but one thing I do - it is my one aspiration: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the supreme and heavenly prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward.

Although we are thankful to God for the awesome things He has done in the past, we are not looking backward; we are pressing onward and upward!

Spreading the joy of the Lord is a wonderful way to live and an even better way to work! To reach the lost with the Gospel message; to lift the spirits of the broken-hearted; to shine a fresh, new light on the scriptures and give people hope for the future - let this be our mission.

Until the whole world hears of salvation, until every heart knows of the joy of the Lord, we will continue to move onward and upward in our calling of global evangelism. Glory! Let the future begin!
