VOB News March 2026 “Travel Photo Journal Report”

Another trip to India is behind us. 95 attendees and 40 of us on the team from India, the Philippines and USA. Our team gathered every morning 7am 😣 to intercede for the very long day of training and prayer ministry. 

These guys (above) wanted to take a selfie with me and said they wanted Christian tattoos like mine. I told them to not tell their mamas they were inspired by me. 😆 

The small group of men (above left), that I led in my small group, were ready to give Jesus their all! I was privileged to have one of my small group members from June return and be my assistant. God is good! Another of the men from last small group had his wife (above right) attend this go-round. One of the things I love about ministering wholeness in Christ, with LIVING WATERS, is that it is for ministry unto the whole family, to be free. 

Our friend Marta (below – with our buddy Dean and new Filipino friends), my travel companion from NC, was such a gift to the people in many ways with her heart for women (and men) becoming healthier as well as her prophetic gift playing violin during worship. She has asked the Lord for years what does MERCY “sound” like.  And He truly allowed a beautiful sound through her during a significant forgiveness time for all at the cross. It was powerful. Many, some ready, some agonizing, came and released their unforgiveness. Great sobbing turned in to joyous laughter and uninhibited worship to Jesus! Mercy is a living amazing sound! 

Please take a minute and watch this joyous dance (below) that some of the young attendees sent us after we departed. It is worth your time and might just make you want to join them.  Just click the photo.

It was worth my time for the 15 hour flight there and the 17 hour flight return.   As you would know, the Iran conflict broke out while we were abroad, so our return flight had to detour a bit more up and over the globe. Our flight paths on the map here (below), if you are curious. And this was my view for those many hours. 🤣

Happy Holy Week:  ✝️

“My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch with Me…Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”

Matthew 26:38b,39b

Thank you Jesus!

VOB News February 2026 “VOB Traveling News”

By the time you receive this letter I (Wayne) will be in the skies and perhaps already upon the land of Incredible India, having barely turned around (and to be truthful have not even unpacked my suitcase), from my drive up to Pennsylvania for the week long training – that was a great success. We had 53 men and women come and get equipped to minister prayer healing for the mind body and soul, after first receiving healing inside for ourselves, so we can minister same healthy healing to others and ultimately bring new ones to the Lord. 

We had some rough weather conditions for Carol at home – like everything was frozen folks – (as it was much along my drive north). But the Lord is good and faithful to prayers of the Saints. And we could not be more grateful. 

But don’t stop now because here we go again! And even more prayer for safety and protection will be needed along my international travels and for my home and family – spiritually and physically. Thank you in advance!! 

You may ask why not just keep the suitcase packed?  Because I need to toss the heavy sweaters aside and grab the short sleeved shirts for a very different

climate – after last weeks temps here, it will be about 60-70 degrees warmer. 😆 

To give you an idea as to how these trainings go below is an idea of typical schedule to serve as a prayer guide for you. ⬇️

Thurs/Fri Feb. 26/27: Safe passage and smooth connections for the following. Drive to Raleigh, afternoon flight to Newark (recovering from the recent blizzard), late night (red eye) international flight to Delhi, North India. Process through India customs. 🙏

Sat. Feb. 28: After a brief hotel night rest its up and at em for a third and final regional flight to Goa, West Coast India. We hit the ground running as training begins that night with a main session. 

Sunday March 1: Full day (12 hours) with 3 main sessions including prayer ministry time and 2 small group sessions in between where I lead 5-6 men in healing and listening prayers.

Monday March 2: Same as Sunday. 

Tuesday March 3: Same as Sunday.

Wednesday March 4: Same as Sunday.

Thursday March 5: Half day with training conclusion sessions including departing blessings. And we are rushed off for more trains planes and automobiles to make our way back home. First regional flight back to Delhi and then late night international flight back to the States. 🚕 🚝 ✈️🛻

Friday March 6: Arrive at Newark New Jersey and process through US Customs. Then on to last flight back to Raleigh. And drive home an hour. 🤪

If you could pray for our safety as we travel 30 mins each day to and from the training venue as we are staying in different lodging for our safety as foreigners. Also keep in mind with above schedule that I will be 10 hours 30 mins (weird huh) ahead of East Coast time. So 13.5 ahead of West Coast. And thank you for praying for our 9 Americans, 3 Filipinos, and more than a couple dozen Indian leaders traveling to this training to minister to 100 participants. May the Lord be glorified! 

A Travel Blessing: 

“May the road rise up to meet you, May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; The rains fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand”.

Traditional Gaelic Blessing – early Christian prayers from Ireland thought to have been composed between the 4th and 7th centuries AD

Thank you:  🙏 

For those who have added to your monthly support, for those who have started monthly support, for those who have sent special one time gifts and those who have supported Wayne’s India trip.
