Though my home is India, God opened many doors in other nations for me to minister in 2007. My trip to Ivory Coast, West Africa was very successful. Many lives were touched as I ministered the Word of God in four churches. During the week I taught in the Bible School and it was power packed. As I taught 31/2 to 4 hours a day, the students enjoyed it just as much as I did teaching. Please continue to pray for me as I travel home to India. I will be ministering to leaders, preaching in churches, and holding evangelistic meetings. Pray that many lives will be changed and God’s plan and purpose be fulfilled. Together we are fulfilling the Great Commission! Christi Benight Financial Contributions by be sent to: Unto the Nations, Inc. PO Box 702943 Tulsa OK 74170-2943 AFCM is made up of members all around the world... from different nations... different ethic groups... different cultures. When we finished Bible school, our instructions from the Lord were to go back to Alaska and minister to the ONE. We were willing to go wherever He said. What was a shock was we were instructed to minister to the one person, one trapper, one family. Through the years that is exactly what we’ve done. In the last few years, He has had us start a small store. Out of this business He has opened doors for us to go into native villages delivering groceries to meet the needs of the people as most have no stores. Richard also hauls people out for emergency medical treatment and hauls humanitarian aid when needed. AFCM International PO Box 1918 Willmar, MN 56201 320-235-3838 www.afcminternational.org AFCM is a body of believers walking in love and unity, with the same p urpose... to reach the nations with the message of faith and make disciples of all nations. On Sunday just before Thanksgiving Richard was out on his final delivery with Thanksgiving items to his last 2 villages, when his engine quit and he had 5 seconds to set the plane down. As you can see in the pictures, Richard should have gone on to Glory or at least been seriously injured! NOT A SCRATCH OR BRUISE - Praise the Lord! The village of Nikolai, where the accident occurred, offered to clear a path to get to the airplane and haul it to the runway ramp area. They said, “You’ve helped so many people in our village this is the least we can do for you!” A man our son knows gave us a C170 gearbox. This part alone costs thousands of dollars if you can find them! Build ROCK ROCK upon the Dr. Jim Kaseman As you can imagine, the repairs are very costly. We are believing for a quick turn around time so we can again get in the air to minister first to the soul and then the Spirit. We appreciate your prayers and your support!! Just the other day the new local pastor asked Richard if he’d go with him to a village about 130 air miles from here for a Bible study. AFCM is you... Naturally he said yes and told the pastor we can stop and them... at other villages flying back home. The pastor was all and us... excited. walking and working Richard and Verdene Anselment Financial gifts/correspondence may be sent to: Richard Anselment Ministries P.O.

March/April 2008 Itinerary Build ROCK ROCK March March 8 Oregon City, OR AFCM All-Dayer Dr. Jim Kaseman Matthew 7:24-27 (NKJV) “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock (Jesus): and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.” “I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all long suffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth and be turned aside to fables But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.” There is a lot of flakey stuff being pedaled today in the name of truth. When you examine it closely, however, it is just a teaspoon of truth in an ocean of error. Anytime you take scripture out of context, you end up with a pretext (a reason for doing as you please). You may ask, “What am I to do?” Do what the Bereans did. “They received the message with great eagerness and examined the scripture every day to see if what Paul said was true” (Acts 17:11 NIV). Whose teachings were the Bereans putting under the search light of scripture? Paul’s! No leader, regardless of the size of their following, is beyond such scrutiny. Indeed, Godly leaders welcome it. Anytime someone claims special revelation from God that doesn’t line up with scripture, run the opposite direction! You may think that sounds a little harsh, but a spiritual foundation built on the rock —Jesus, the Word of God— will save your life! This is nothing new, of course. The Apostle Paul had to deal with the same issues approximately 2,000 years ago. In II Timothy 3:1-9 (NKJV), Paul had to deal with perilous times and perilous men: “But know this, that in the last days of perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.” Does God have more to say to us? Absolutely! When we take our last breath, we still will not know it all. And does God have better strategies for reaching others with His word? Yes! And we must embrace them if we are to reap the final harvest before the Lord of the harvest returns. But never at the cost of God’s eternal, unchanging word! In II Timothy 4:1-5 (NKJV) He had to deal with people who would not endure sound doctrine: Selah, pause and think about that! That’s the message Paul was proclaiming in Acts 20:30-32, “Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears. So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.” AFCM Men’s Advance April 18-20 Paynesville, MN Contact Brad Brede Ministries for more information bbmbrad@arvig.net or 218-943-1084 or www.bradbrede.org.

She often said that God had called her to the mission field at an early age, but that she could not go until her middle years. Pauline will long be remembered by the many lepers and the mentally retarded she loved to minister to over the years. Her eyes sparkled and she had a big smile on her face as she ministered, sometimes under dangerous conditions.
