Revival Missions Home
Dear brethren & prayer warriors,
We are so aware of our total dependence upon the Holy Spirit to bring Glory to Jesus Christ in & through our lives as we count it a privilege to let our requests be made known unto God through our prayers.
We have been in the State of Nayarit, 7 years without a furlough or Sabbatical and we’ve seen the Lords faithfulness in guiding & providing for all our family & ministerial needs as He continues to show Himself strong through our weakness. We live in the least reached state of Mexico & one of the darkest & hardest ground to work.
The enemy has deceived these people for years to follow the cultic ways of their Huichol & Cora Indian ancestors.
Adultery, idolatry, spirtism, witchcraft, sorcery, Satanism, the love of money & this world has left the people physically & spiritually bankrupt.
Many have tried to win the lost through human effort, religious activities, concerts, movies, dramas, hand outs, tracks, watered down preaching, psychology & the people have a form of Godliness yet they deny the Power thereof!
Please pray as Isaiah prayed for a genuine revival to break out in Tepic & across the land. “Oh that you would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains would tremble before you! As when fire sets twigs ablaze and causes water to boil, come down to make your name known to your enemies and cause the nations to quake before you! For when you did awesome things that we did not expect, you came down and the mountains trembled before you. Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.” Isaiah 64:1-4
Its time we go back to our roots and rely on the Holy Spirit to shake up the nations with His power with the anointed uncompromised word of God, fasting & prayer of the saints.
Samuel Chadwich an English Methodist preacher wrote over 100 years ago: “The work of God is not by might of men or by the power of men but by His Spirit. It is by Him the truth convicts and converts, sanctifies & saves, the philosophies of men fail, but the word of God in the demonstration of the Spirit prevails. Our wants are many, & our faults innumerable in our lack of the Holy Ghost. We want nothing but the fire. The Church still has a theology of the Holy Spirit, but it has no living consciousness of His presence and power. Theology without experience is like faith without works: It is dead! Prayer meetings have died out because men did not believe in the Holy Ghost. The liberty of prophesying has gone because men believe in investigation and not in inspiration… Confusion and impotence are the inevitable results when the wisdom & resources of the world are substituted for the presence and power of the Spirit.”
Please pray that our fellowship in Tepic & small village outreach ministries will be empowered from on High & 100 % God directed & reliant & that the same God of the old & new testament would manifest His power & presence in & through His servants.
We have been seeing the Lord deliver prostitues, alchoholics, drug addicts broken families, the sick & poor from the powers of darkness to the marvelous light of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Leanord Ravenhill said: “A man who can get believers to praying would, under God ignite the greatest revival that the world has ever known. There is no fault in God. He is able. “God is able to do… according to the power that works in us” Gods problem today is not communism, nor yet romanism, nor liberalism, nor modernism. Gods problem is dead fundamentalism!”
Please pray that we can be instrumental in waking up the Church here in Tepic and the nations to stop playing Church activism & get on their faces to pray & fast until God rends the heavens and comes down in power once again prior to the rapture and great tribulation period.
Please pray for the leadership involved in decipleship, evangelism, Bible collage & so many other needs to continue to be empowered from on High!
Please pray for the Lords continual guidance & provision for the contruction of our 6000 square feet Sanctuary, offices, childrens ministry, Bible college & missions training facility for His Glory.
Praise reports:
We have been praying for one of our neigbors for the last 4 years to be delivered from prostitution. She not only was decieving her husband but also getting other women & young girls involved and destroying many lives.
One day Ron told her(Susana) John the baptist style: Repent! The blood of those men, women & children whose lives are being destroyed will be on your hands on judgement day. We began to notice over the next months that she had been staying home and her husband quit his trucking job and they began a hamburger & hotdog stand down the street. One day Kwang had a womens fellowship in our house & Susana came and asked for prayer. Ron & Kwang & others began to pray and we noticed that she was demon possessed and began doing spiritual warfare, her face contorted & eyes rolled back and began to manifest demonic signs. We took authority in the name of Jesus and within minutes she was delivered and praising & claiming the name & blood of Jesus and has been doing so ever since. She is sharing her faith and many have seen fruits of repentance and desire to serve the Lord. Even through most of her lovers, & old friends have ridiculed her for her relationship with Jesus.
Please pray for her husband who is very hard hearted & addicted to drugs & alchohol.
Many people with serious illnesses and oppression are being brought to us, please pray for move of His healing gifts to flow through us & the others with a heart to pray for the lost & sick & opressed.
Thanks for your love & prayers.
Jesus loves you, Ron & Kwang McLoud
January 2001
Greetings in Jesus Name from the McLouds in Tepic, Nayarit, Mexico. Blessings upon you as read these
praise reports. Thanks for your prayers love gifts to & through us to the
people of Mexico as unto the Lord!
A wild Christmas
We
had a wonderful Christmas again here in Mexico for the 6th consecutive year
with our spiritual family. This year for Christmas the service was very
different than the normal Christmas service. We brought in about 10 drug
addicts from the heaviest drug, alcohol, and prostitution infested apartments
of the city.
One man called – “Loquillo”= “wild man” was involved in
Satanism, drugs, alcohol & living with a prostitute named Lola, who wanted
to kill Ron several days before, was new in Church for our Christmas service.
It was a little uncomfortable for the regulars especially as he was using “
num chucks” to the beat of the praise music all dressed in black as a security
officer. Loquillos real name is Louis and has been living with Moises &
Juanna & their 4 children until we can afford to rent a home or small apt.
for him & other drug addicts who want to be set free. He’s coming to
Church for prayer and other meetings.
Marta is 14 years old and has been
sniffing glue for over 2 years and is selling her body to several men &
boys in the drug area where we are reaching out with the love of Jesus. She
also came to Church and others like her need deliverance from drugs &
prostitution. It breaks our hearts even more to see children of these
prostitutes & drug addicts, addicted to drugs & sniffing glue as young
as 2 years old.
Please pray for protection for Ron & Kwang &
others in the Church who put their lives in danger every time enter this
complex as several times we’ve been threatened with pipes, knives & other
weapons, but the Lord continues to preserve us for His will.
Small
village outreach
The brethren continue to hold Sunday morning
service in “Santa Maria del Cortez” faithfully. We helped do an outreach in
Santa Cruz where we first lived over 6 years ago, we are planning to plant
Churches in several other villages in Nayarit & the State of Michoacan
where many of our Church members come from. Please pray for fruit to remain
& laborers to be raised up to work full time in these areas where no
Church.
“Our God is a still God of Miracles”
Tony
(female) who was healed miraculously from a serious low back injury is now
faithfully singing in the Worship team and discipling new converts &
winning her husband & children to the Lord. She was discipling a neighbor
who later rejected the Gospel. One day she came out screaming - Tony, come
pray for my husband – he’s dying. As she walked in the house he even said he
was dying as all of his muscles were convulsing contracting out of control;
she immediately rebuked Satan & started praying for healing in Jesus Name.
The man began praying, and was healed, delivered & we believed saved all
at once. The lady immediately broke down in repentance asking forgiveness to
Tony for treating her so badly speaking out against her. Once the ambulance
came, the man was on his knees praising JESUS, as many testified of the power
of the HOLY SPIRIT. A short time later Tony was on the phone with Mari who is
divorced & has 2 children. Mari has been suffering serious asthma attacks
for 14 years and had asked if Tony could come over & pray for her. Tony
said, I can’t come over now but lets pray now, Mari said are you sure? On the
phone? Tony said sure and as they prayed Mari felt heat go through her body
and was healed in Jesus Name. She no longer uses any asthma medicine. Nayelli,
( 15) asked for prayer for healing of what the doctor said was cancerous
tumors in both breast’s . During prayer she heard the LORD’S voice say, I want
all of your heart mind & soul. She went to the doctor for further testing
& testified the following Sunday, THE DOCTOR SAID I’M HEALED,!
We
don’t seek the Miracles we seek Jesus who is the same yesterday today &
forever.
Doors continue to open for revival
preaching
Please keep Ron in prayer as opportunities to preach in
the Church in America, Korea & Haiti are opening up. Pray for the Lord to
confirm provide & pour out His Spirit wherever He leads Ron to preach. If
you would like Ron to preach in your Church or get together with several
Churches to seek the Lord to pour out His Spirit on your area, contact us so
we can pray and talk about arranging for Ron to come & preach in your
area.

March, 01 2001
Greetings brethren in Jesus Name from
the McLouds in Tepic, Nayarit, Mexico.
“We thank Jesus for your
faithfulness in prayer & support to & through us to the people of
Mexico and the Nations.”
“Drug, Alcohol & Homeless
Ministry”
The brethren, especially 2 young ladies (Carmen &
Fernanda) continue to evangelize & disciple the heaviest drug, alcohol
& prostitution infested apartment of the city. The children who are
addicted to sniffing glue & paint thinner are being set free through the
Love of Jesus.
“Nacha” who we found homeless on the streets is staying in a
small room we are renting for drug addicts & homeless people who want to
be delivered & set free. Pray for a larger facility & full time
workers to help the dozens of addicts, prostitutes children & homeless in
need of Jesus Christ.
“Locked Out of the Church”
For 2 weeks
in a row someone poured cement glue down the keyhole of the pad lock we use to
lock the doors of the Church. It was on both occasions done late on Saturday
night, which caused 2-3 hours with a locksmith to open & break the lock
just prior to our Sunday service. “Blessed are they when are persecuted for
righteousness sake: for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven” -- Matthew 5:10.
Thank God that we are the temple of the Holy Spirit in whom He dwells at all
times & circumstances.
“The Jesus Film”
The Jesus film
project has arrived to Tepic and we are co-laboring with many from Canada and
other Churches in preaching the Gospel with this wonderful tool. We have been
showing the film in the neighborhoods nearby each home Bible study group,
& the small village or “Cortez” and have had over 100 seats full on
several showings.
This gives our home groups plenty of follow up
discipleship work to do.
“International School of Ministry”

ministry training and are being blessed and prepared to go out as missionaries
to the nations. The current classes are foundations of the faith, Supernatural

student to finish the 5 trimester coarse? $50.00 will put a Student through 1
of the 5 semesters and help them focus on serving in the local Church While
studying for this 2-year program. We want this training to be practical,
spiritual and Knowledgeable for all whom in humility desires to serve the
Lord.
“Where God Guides God Provides”

provided our fellowship with an awesome Lot over looking the city of Tepic.

renting different facilities, we hope to be moved into our own facility by the
end of the year. Thank you, for your prayers.

live some of his family heritage as he’s been working with Excavators,
tractors & trucks to get the land level & compacted to start the

saving money in the property & building fund. Whom helped get up the money
for most the down payment and Calvary Chapel of Mission Viejo gave us a
generous offering to pay off the rest of the loan! “Praise the Lord”!!! Thank
