The world seems be getting worse, but the Gospel is still GOOD NEWS. In our day, a Message has gone out to prepare the redeemed saints of God to meet their Bridegroom. This is certainly good news! How did this Message go out? The way God's messages always have in the past: God spoke it through a vessel of His choosing. In our day, that vessel was a humble man named William Branham. Since his death in 1965, the Message this brother left behind has reverberated around the world, and its impact continues to grow. In this podcast, we report on the progress of this Message all over the globe, as it pops up in surprising places. Reports come in constantly, from Africa, India, South America, China, about the revolution that is taking place the lives of thousands of Christians, preparing them to meet their Bridegroom. This is GOOD news!

Five years ago was the last trip to China that Bro. Murphy and Bro. Tom were on. Circumstances have made it that Bro. Murphy Wong has been unable to be with the believers in China, especially the ministers that are instrumental in the work in China.
This year, by the grace of God, this blessed reunion was made possible in the Philippines, a short plane trip from China
In this episode, Bro. Tom Rae and Murphy Wong give us a report of this moving event.
After several months, we reconnect with Bro. Jason DeMars again as he returned from his trip to Egypt and Israel.

Bro Stephen joined us by the way of Zoom while Bro. Victor and Tim Dodd sat down at the table in the studio at Cloverdale Bibleway.
We trust this discussion will be a blessing to you as we bring to you a fresh perspective from two brothers experiencing the Awakening in Uganda for the first time.
The heavens have been opened up in Uganda and showers of blessings continue to fall year after year as the rain of the Word waters the seed. But during a service last week, when the natural rain threatened to ruin the meeting, it was rebuked and the skies cleared at the command of the Word. The people got to enjoy a good sunny weather during rain season, confirming once again, that the Word of God is creative power.
We have been enjoying these special reports from Bro Tim Dodd in a correspondent-like format, sharing and documenting his trip to Africa.
In today's episode, we get to hear some great testimonies from different brothers in Uganda, on the continued need for translation and its impact amongst believers, especially in combatting false doctrines, but also more testimonies of denominational ministers coming to the knowledge of the Message with their churches.
Today's episode is indeed a special report as Bro. Tim Dodd , like a correspondent, sent us some updates from Ethiopia where He sojourned for a few days before making his way to Uganda for more meetings.
To add to the special character of this episode, there's also a wonderful testimony of healing after communion that will be a blessing to you, in addition to the updates pertaining to the strengthening of the churches and the growth of the Message in Ethiopia.
On the 40th anniversary of being immersed in true Christian baptism, Bro Tim Dodd shares with us the testimony of how the Lord led him to Cloverdale Bible Way upon the invitation of Bro. Byskal to be a part of the ministry and share the burden for Missions.
It's now been 11 years since then and we take a moment to reflect on the challenges encountered along way but also to rejoice over the many victories in places like Uganda and Ethiopia.
It’s not often that we get ministers from overseas here in the studio at Cloverdale Bibleway. However, September has been an incredible month of blessings for us as we got to first interview Bro. Stephen Ibale and in today’s episode, we have the pleasure of the company of Bro. James Nvunabandi to share a little bit of his testimony, but mainly the awakening of the Bride in the western part of Uganda, near the border of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
This is the second and last part of the interview with Bro. Stephen Ibale. We continue discussing the awakening in Uganda, what the Lord has been doing, how new ministers are being established and the needs of the local churches that have embraced the Message of the Hour.
Bro. Stephen Ibale made a statement over the pulpit and during this interview that really resonates, concerning the awakening in Uganda : "Those who don't believe this is possible are simply not a part of it. When you become a part of it, you realize that this is indeed possible". We thank the Lord for all those who are a part of this move of God, whether by their financial support and donations, or labour of love and prayers for this Message to continue to sweep throughout the land of Uganda.
Though we have extensively covered the awakening of the Bride in Uganda, today's episode is a unique one as we have Bro. Stephen Ibale, one of the men of God in the forefront of this revival, physically present in Bible Believers studio in Cloverdale Bibleway.
This first episode takes us back to the genesis of the move of God in Uganda from 2013 to today.
This is the first monthly recap episode of the podcast. We will be releasing one every month to recapitulate all the different events that are taking place in all the countries Bible Believers is currently involved in.
This episode focuses on Uganda, Ethiopia and the Message Hub.
In this episode, we conclude our round of questions on missions and Bible Believers missionary efforts around the World.
We kickstart this round with an interesting question about how many countries the Message has reached and what can be done to penetrate new countries.
As announced in the previous episodes, we have been gathering questions from our listening audience on all things Missions. In this first part, Brother Tim Dodd goes through a little bit over half of the questions submitted covering several topics such as Uganda, the Message Hub and in the field experiences.
This is the second and final part of this series of End-Time Missions with Bro. Ed Hammermeister, pastor of End-Time Message Tabernacle in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Today, we pick up where we left off last week with Brother Ed sharing his experience and lessons learned in the field in several African countries. In particular, he shares how he witnessed "the apostolic anointing" and wisdom displayed by Brother Harold Hildrebandt during many missionary trips in Africa.
Continuing in the same theme as last week's episode, on end-time missions principles, we have invited Bro. Ed Hammermeister, Pastor of a church fitly named "End-Time Message Tabernacle" in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Brother Ed takes us down memory lane, to the very genesis of his introduction to missionary work in Africa with then Pastor Harold Hildebrandt. This is only part 1, stay tuned for part 2 to come next week.
What is missions? is it building churches or shelters? Is it improving the quality of life of believers? Is this episode, Brother Tim Dodd discusses the vision of Missions as outlined by the Prophet in "End-Time Evangelism" which is to find the Bride in these last days.
Reports from Uganda always seem to involve more baptisms, more denominational pastors coming to the knowledge of the Truth in this Hour; However, we should not let this move of God become common to us. We continue to be amazed by the reports we receive and in this episode, Brother Fred gives us an update on what has been transpiring in the country of Uganda in the past few months, and what the current burdens and needs are for the local churches.
We have the pleasure of welcoming back Bro. Moges Engida, Pastor in Addis Ababa, to give us an update on recent developments in the country of Ethiopia.
Just about 2 months since Bro. Tim Dodd was last there for the convention, the Lord has opened many doors in different cities like Tullu Bollo, Shone, Debrezeit, amongst others. With the spread of the Gospel and small groups forming in different locations, come great needs for printing of translated Messages, but also basic material needs to enable these gatherings.
On today's episode, we welcome back Bro. Jason DeMars from South Carolina, to share with us updates on translation efforts being done in the Arabic language. Through the workings of God's sovereignty, Bro. Jason was introduced to a believer in Egypt a few years ago and a massive undertaking of translating the Message in Arabic started. The MessageHub website contains 63 Messages in the Arabic language (including the Church Age Book), a significant achievement for the 5th most spoken language with 300 million speakers. It's not often that we hear about what the Lord is doing in Middle Eastern countries, so this episode is both insightful and refreshing.
So much has happened in just the past 2 months in Uganda that we haven't been able to publish. In this episode, Bro. Tim Dodd shares more updates that he received from Brother Fred and Bro Stephen Ibale of the different missionary efforts happening in different areas of the country and the great harvest they are reaping almost weekly. Several local ministers continue to be affected by the Message and in turn take this Truth to their own people.
"There is no greater example of the missionary vision of Brother Ed Byskal, than the completion of the Chinese translation project".
The Believers Faith Challenge Report starts with this powerful sentence, as we announce the completion of all 1207 sermons of the prophet in the Chinese language. This is just one incredible development that we cover in this episode where Bro Jean and Tim Dodd discuss the many things that have transpired these past months in Ethiopia, China, Uganda and Angola.
Bro. Vernon Manahan flies over 10 000 km from the Philippines to Canada, Cloverdale Bible Way, where he ministered 3 services. We took advantage of these special meetings to sit down with him and discuss what is happening in South East Asia where the Lord has opened many doors in places like Laos, Thailand, Vietnam and even Taiwan.
After spending 3 weeks overseas, we welcome Brother Tim Dodd in the studio at Cloverdale Bible Way for a conversation around Ethiopia. We had previously heard from Brother Moges and Andrew Dodd, but in this episode, we get Brother Tim's perspective on the meetings, and Ethiopia as a whole since the Lord started moving in that country supernaturally almost 9 years ago. We cover a lot of ground from the convention, to the ongoing support for translations and printing materials.
The meetings in Addis Ababa have come to an end and Bro. Tim Dodd held more meetings in the town of Hawassa where the Lord continued to move amongst His people.
In this Episode, Bro. Tim Dodd sits down with Bro. Andrew Dodd to reflect on this missionary trip that has now come to an end, as well as the impact the Message of the Hour has had on the people of Ethiopia over the past several years. In the words of Bro. Andrew, “it’s like walking into the book of Acts”.
The meetings in Ethiopia have now come to an end; Brother Tim Dodd sits down with Brother Moges Engida, pastor of the local assembly in Addis Ababa, to discuss the landscape of the Message in the country of Ethiopia as well as the effects of the meetings that saw just over 300 locals gather around the Message of the Hour. The Message continues to spread far and wide in search of every predestinated seed in the country of Ethiopia.
Brother Joseph, a young man on his way to becoming a Bishop in the Pentecostal Oneness movement in Ethiopia, recounts how the Lord sovereignly came by his way while reading a book about the history of the healing movement in the U.S.A.
A paragraph that seemed to claim Brother Branham went off at the end of his ministry, was the catalyst of this quickening and through reading the Church Age Book and a supernatural experience, our Brother has embraced the Message and is eager and passionate to spread it in his community.
As we announce the addition of 7 new languages to the Message Hub mobile application( Android first, IOS to be announced), we invited a special guest to the podcast to provide a history of the Message Hub and what features are coming soon.
Bro. Mark Aho has been involved in missionary work with Bible Believers for a decade now. He is the voice that you have heard introduce brother Tim Dodd on the Believers Faith Challenge Report podcast.
Today's episode is an interview of Bro. Mark as he reflects on his experience working with Bible Believers and shares a little bit of the direction in which the Lord is leading him.
In this final episode on Japan, we have the privilege of hearing directly from Brother Fed, pastor of the "Church of the Rising Son", a fitting name for a church in a country where the Light of the Son has been shining for a few years now.
By Brother Fed's testimony and account, we can clearly observe Divine providence at work, orchestrating things from translations, to providing a building for meetings, and creating a job opening for Bro. Fed to immigrate and pastor the little gathering of believers.
In this special edition of the podcast, Bro. Murphy Wong, who is the voice of the Prophet to the believers in China, shares an announcement that fills our hearts with unspeakable joy. After 25 years of laboring in translating Bro. Branham sermons, the Message of the Hour in Chinese is now complete. All sermons of the Prophet are now available in print form in the Chinese language, making Chinese the third language (outside of English) with the entirety of the Message after French and Spanish.
This once again underscores the importance of believers getting a burden for their own people, so that the Bride in that region can be clothed with the Word of the Hour.
In this episode, we connect with Brother Stephen Ibale, one of the most instrumental brothers in the awakening in Uganda.
In particular, we get an update on Bro. Juma, a minister who had come under a series of attacks from the enemy following his quickening to the Message of the Hour.
This is the second part of a two-part podcast on the country of Japan.
In this segment, Brother Timothy Pruitt shares some of his highlights while visiting Japan and some of the interesting experiences he has had such as earthquakes. We learn more about how, by the grace of God, the first Message Church was established with a growing congregation of over twenty members that gather regularly around the Light of the day.We believe we can say with confidence: in the country of the rising sun, the Son has risen and called a people unto Himself.
In this episode, we welcome Bro. Timothy Pruitt, Assistant Pastor at Evening Light Tabernacle in Minden, Louisiana.
His church has been involved in missionary work in the country of Japan, a nation with very little Christian representation. By God’s grace, the reality of the Evening Light is quickening His people in a land of comics and fantasy.
During Bro. Michael's trip to Uganda, he was able to interview several pastors in the Karamoja region expressing their appreciation for the translation and printing effort.
Bro. Michael Rae returns to Uganda for the second time and shares his experience taking a series of meetings for over 250 young people. He also made his way to the northern part of Uganda where over 30 churches came together around the Word.But more than the report of the blessings of God on the trip, he leaves us with a deep burden for many believers in Uganda and their ongoing need of the Message in their language, and in many cases, even the Bible in their own language.
In this second part of the interview with Brother Anton, we learn more about his work and relationship with Brother Lonnie and how his life influenced his translation ministry.
We also get a very good understanding of how hard it is to render the Prophet's wittiness and use of puns, as well as the difficulties translators encounter with the many English idioms used throughout the Message.
In this interview, Brother Anton Liachovic from Lithuana takes us on a journey and shares the beginning of his translation work in the Russian language and gives us a detailed insight into the mindset and make-up of a translator, and how God prepares a vessel for such a work.
This year, the release of the Believers Faith Challenge Report coincides with the end of the year. In this episode, Missions Director Tim Dodd summarizes the stories.

In this episode Brother Tim Dodd shares a series of interviews with laborers on the field he obtained while traveling through Uganda this Fall. Long time Pastors such as Brother Hannington Balita, and younger Message Pastors such as Elijah Diogo share their thoughts and experiences. Brother Fred Kiyingi’s son Moses, now a minister himself, shares his perspective, and Brother Moges Engida, a Pastor in Ethiopia, shares some of his impressions from seeing the awakening first hand.
Brother Tim Dodd was recording short interviews on the fly as he traveled through Uganda recently. These fascinating snippets include this interview with Brother Fred Kiyingi, who hosted an outside meeting for new Message ministers on the grounds of his church. The building could never accommodate the number who would attend, and not all ministers were invited, just to be sure the grounds would not be overrun. Hundreds were expected, but at least 1200 attended. Local government officials have been attending these and other meetings, with some of them receiving the Word as it is preached. In this podcast, Brother Tim and Brother Fred discuss this, and other victories.
In this episode Tim Dodd reports personally from Uganda, as he travels the country and sees the revival first hand. Included are interviews with Brother James Katumba, who oversees the construction of church shelters, Brother Juma, a young pastor who has been harassed even by the Police, after leaving his denomination, and Brother Stephen Ibale. These unscripted interviews are being caught on the fly, without much set up.
In this podcast Brother Murphy Wong shares testimonies which reveal the maturity of the Believers in China. Evidence abounds, from their active witnessing in the face of persecution and jail, to miraculous healings. Bro Murphy shares one outstanding testimony a Brother completely healed of cancer. The Chinese Believers have also been contributing to Missions work in other countries. Recently a number of Chinese churches cooperated to raise funds to send 1000 mp3 players loaded with translated Messages to Rwanda. Brother Murphy also shares how the Chinese King James Bible has become a witnessing tool. The Bibles are shipped with a Message book slipped inside. This, all by itself, is bearing fruit in new Believers.
Brother David Kombo was born in the Congo, and is now a Pastor in the Boston, Massachusetts area. He originally came to America for education, but his life’s work has revolved around missions and ministry. Brother David has worked as a translator of the Message into the French language, and now hosts an annual Missions convention in his area. While ministering at this convention in October, Brother Tim Dodd was able to capture this fascinating interview with Brother David as they travelled together in the car.
Missions director Tim Dodd and Pastor Fred Kiyingi discuss a range of issues in Uganda, preceding Brother Tim's upcoming trip there. The latest revival in which 350 were Baptized is described, as well as past victories, and current challenges. New shipments of Church Ages Books, Bibles, and the Hebrew's Series have been exhausted quickly by the growing population of Believers. Rudimentary church buildings with their necessary latrines are being constructed as quickly as funds allow. All the while, new harvest fields are opening up.
In this episode, Brother Tim Dodd continues his interview with Pastor Moges Engida, from Ethiopia. Many testimonies followed an outreach trip he and a team from his church took to cities South of Addis Ababa. In those places, people had discovered and were reading the newly translated Church Ages Book in Amharic. The first printing produced only 1000 copies, and they are already reaching new souls.
The church in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, is the first Message church known to succeed in that country. As the young church grows and matures, the Believers are reaching out with Missions trips to other parts of the country, as well as supporting the Word through translation and printing. In this episode, Brother Tim Dodd talks with Pastor Moges Engida about a recent outreach trip, which bore fruit at every stop. As Brother Moges describes it, “The Word is going viral in our country.”
10,000 Church Age Books in the Luganda language have recently been delivered to Uganda. In this episode Brother Tim Dodd speaks to Brother Stephen Ibale about the latest happenings in the awakening in Uganda, who reveals how doctrinal challenges are overcome, not by combating error directly, but by continuing to feed the true Word to new Believers. Brother Ibale also shares interesting reports of outreaches in remote areas that are as uncivilized as can be imagined.
In this episode, Brother Tim Dodd speaks with Brother Andreas Ringen about what he saw and heard on his recent visit to Believers in Ukraine. The state of the Ukrainian Believers is discussed, their attitude toward the situation, how they are coping, and their prospects for the future, as a people with the certainty of faith, face the uncertainty of war.
