 Leviticus 20

 6"If a person turns to mediums and wizards, whoring after them, I will
set my face 
against that person and will cut him off from among his people.
7Consecrate yourselves, 
therefore, and be holy, for I am the LORD your God. 8Keep my statutes and
do them; I 
am the LORD who sanctifies you

In other words, if you communicate with the dead, through mediums or
others such, God 
will set His face against you.
Saul did that, he consulted a medium, to raise up the prophet Samuel to
ask advice and 
was killed the next day.

GOD THE FATHER`S TESTIMONY CONCERNING JESUS` DIETY

Hebrews 1:8
"But of the Son He says, "Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever."

OLD TESTAMENT PROPHECIES DECLARING MESSIAH AS GOD

Isaiah 7:14   

The Messiah is to be born of a virgin and will be called "Immanuel,"
Meaning "God with 
us." 

"Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall
conceive, and bear 
a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."

Mic 5:2   

The Messiah is to be born in Bethlehem; He is the Ever-Existing One.

"But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands
of Judah, yet 
out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel;
whose goings forth 
have been from of old, from everlasting."
    

Isaiah 9:6    

The Messiah is to come to us through childbirth; He is Mighty God, Prince
of Peace, Son 
and Everlasting Father

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government
shall be upon his 
shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty
God, The 
everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."

JESUS TESTIMONY OF HIS DIETY

Jesus shared His identity with those who truly sought Him.

John 4:25-26   

The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called
Christ: when he is 
come, he will tell us all things.  Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto
thee am he.

Revelations 22:13 

   I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the
last.    

John 17:5   

And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory
which I had with thee 
before the world was.

JESUS`FOLLOWERS TESTIMONY OF HIS DIETY

The overwhelming evidence from Jesus' followers points to a wide-spread
awareness of 
His Deity

John 6:68    Peter:

"Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the
words of 
eternal life.
        And we believe and have come to know that You are the Holy One of
God."    

John 20:27   Thomas:

"Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands;
and reach 
hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but
believing.
    Jo 20:28    And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my
God."

1John 5:20  John:

"  And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an
understanding, that 
we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his
Son Jesus Christ. 
This is the true God, and eternal life."

Romans 9:5   Paul:

"...And from whom is the Christ according to the flesh, who is over all,
God blessed 
forever.   Amen."    

Acts 20:28 Paul:

"Shepherd the church of God which He Purchased with His own blood."

Phi 2:5  Paul:

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
    Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with
God:
    But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a
servant, and was 
made in the likeness of men:

    Titus 3:4    Paul:

But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man
appeared,
   Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his
mercy he 
saved us, by the wa****ng of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 
  

Matthew 1:20-23 Matthew:

But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord
appeared unto him in 
a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee
Mary thy wife: for 
that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.  And she shall bring
forth a son, and 
thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their
sins.    Now all this 
was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the
prophet, saying,    
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and
they shall call his name 
Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Acts 7:59  Stephen:

And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive
my spirit.

(Note Prayers are offered to 'God Only.)

Jesus His Own Father

True Christianity is not a religion. It is a relation****p with the living
God through Jesus 
Christ. You can take Buddha out of Buddhism or Mohammed out of Islam or
any founder 
of any religion out of that religious system and little would change.
However, take Christ 
out of Christianity and there would be nothing left! It is therefore
imperative that we have 
a clear, accurate understanding of just who Jesus Christ really is.

"The Bible is the story of one unique Person Who pre-existed as God and
who in time 
became incarnate as a man. Theologians have coined the word Theanthropic
to describe 
the person of Jesus Christ. This is another way of calling Him the
God-Man. Scripture 
indicates that He possessed a perfect and complete human nature as well as
a perfect 
and complete divine nature."1

There never has been and never will be another person like Jesus Christ!
He is the 
Unique Person of all time, the genuine Celebrity of the Universe. In His
unique Person 
two natures are inseparable united forever—undiminished deity and true
humanity.

Though we humans (created in God's image) have body, soul and
spirit we are not each "three separate persons".  Though God
manifested Himself as "Father, Son, and Holy Ghost" he is not
"three separate persons".

1) God is a Spirit.

John 4:24 God [is] a Spirit: and they that wor****p him must
wor****p [him] in spirit and in truth.

2) God is holy.

I Samuel 2:2  [There is] none holy as the LORD: for [there is]
none beside thee: neither [is there] any rock like our God.

3) God is a "Holy Spirit".

4) Jesus is the "Spirit of truth"

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the
life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

5) Jesus was "dwelling with them" and promised to be "in them".

John 14:17  [Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot
receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye
know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

6) The "comforter" is the "Spirit of Christ"

John 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

7) The "Spirit of Christ" is the "Holy Spirit" is the "Spirit of
Truth"

John 14:26 But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the
Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and
bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto
you.

8) The Spirit of God visited His creation robed in flesh as the
"Son".

I Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of
godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the
Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on
in the world, received up into glory.

9) The fullness of God is in Jesus Christ

Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead
bodily.
Colossians 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of
all principality and power:

10) Jesus IS the "everlasting Father".

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall
be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting
Father, The Prince of Peace.

11) Those who believe that Jesus is a "separate person" from the
"Father" don't really know Jesus at all.

John 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with
you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me
hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou [then], Shew us the
Father?

Have you obeyed Acts 2:38 as Paul taught in Acts 19:4-6?

By Athet Pyan ****nthaw Paulu 

The Remarkable Testimony of a Buddhist monk in Myanmar (Burma) who came
back to 
life a changed man!
Introduction

The story that follows is simply a translation of a taped testimony from a
man with a 
life-changing story.  It is not an interview or a biography, but simply
the words from the 
man himself. Different people react in different ways when they hear this
story. Some are 
inspired, some skeptical, a few will mock and ridicule, while some others
have even been 
filled with rage and anger, convinced these words are the ravings of a mad
man or an 
elaborate deception. Some Christians have opposed the story simply because
the radical 
and miraculous events described herein do not fit their feeble image of an
Almighty God.

We were first made aware of this story from several Burmese church leaders
who shared 
it with us. These leaders had looked into the story and had not found any
suggestion of it 
being a hoax. It was with this in mind that we decided to step out and
circulate the story. 
We do not do so for any monetary gain, or with a motivation of
self-promotion. We just 
want to let the story speak for itself, and invite Christian believers to
judge it according to 
Scripture. If God wants any part of it to be intended for His glory or to
encourage His 
people, then we pray His Spirit will work in the hearts of the readers in
those ways.

Some people have told us they think the monk in this story never actually
died, but that 
he just lapsed into unconsciousness, and the things he saw and heard were
part of a 
fever-driven hallucination. Whatever you think, the simple fact remains
that the events of 
this story so radically transformed this man that his life took on a
complete 180-degree 
****ft after the events described below. He has fearlessly and boldly told
his story at great 
personal cost, including imprisonment. He has been scorned by his
relatives, friends and 
colleagues, and faced death threats for his unwillingness to compromise
his message. 
What motivated this man to be willing to risk everything? Whether we
believe him or not, 
his story is surely worth listening to and considering. In the cynical
West many people 
demand hard evidence of such things, evidence that would stand up in a
court of law. 
Can we absolutely guarantee, beyond doubt, that all of these things
happened? No, we 
cannot. But we feel it is worth repeating this man's story in his own
words so that readers 
can judge for themselves.

My Early Years

Hello! My name is Athet Pyan ****nthaw Paulu. I am from the country of
Myanmar. I would 
like to share with you my testimony of what happened to me, but first I
would like to give 
some brief background information from my life growing up.

I was born in 1958 in the town of Bogale, on the Irrawaddy Delta area of
southern 
Myanmar [formerly Burma]. My parents, who were devout Buddhists like most
people in 
Myanmar, named me Thitpin [which means 'tree' in English]. Our lives were
very simple 
where I grew up. At the age of 13 I left school and started working on a
fi****ng boat. We 
caught fish and sometimes also shrimp from the numerous rivers and streams
in the 
Irrawaddy area. At the age of 16 I became the leader of the boat. At this
time I lived in 
Upper Mainmahlagyon Island [Mainmahlagyon means 'Beautiful Woman Island'
in 
English], just north of Bogale where I was born. This place is about 100
miles southwest 
of Yangon [Rangoon], our nation's capitol city.

One day, when I was 17, we caught a large number of fish in our nets.
Because of the 
many fish, a large crocodile was attracted to us. It followed our boat and
tried to attack 
us. We were terrified so we frantically rowed our boats toward the
riverbank as fast as we 
could. The crocodile followed us and smashed our boat with its tail.
Although no one died 
in this incident, the attack greatly affected my life. I no longer wanted
to fish. Our small 
boat sank because of the crocodile attack. We had to go home to our
village that night 
on a passenger boat.

Not long after, his employers transferred my father to Yangon City
[formerly spelt 
Rangoon]. At the age of 18 I was sent to a Buddhist monastery to be a
novice monk. 
Most parents in Myanmar try to send their son into a Buddhist monastery,
at least for a 
time, as it is considered a great honor to have a son serve in this way.
We have been 
observing this custom for many hundreds of years.

A Zealous Disciple of Buddha

When I turned 19 years and 3 months old (in 1977), I became a normal monk.
The senior 
monk at my monastery gave me a new Buddhist name, which is the custom in
our 
country. I was now called U Nata Pannita A****nthuriya. When we become a
monk we no 
longer use the name given to us at birth by our parents. The name of the
monastery I 
lived at is called Mandalay Kyaikasan Kyaing. The senior monk's name was
called U 
Zadila Kyar Ni Kan Sayadaw [U Zadila is his title]. He was the most famous
Buddhist 
monk in all of Myanmar at the time. Everyone knew who he was. He was
widely honored 
by the people and respected as a great teacher. I say he "was" because in
1983 he 
suddenly died when he was involved in a fatal car accident. His death
shocked everyone. 
At the time I had been a monk for six years.

I tried hard to be the best monk I could and to follow all the precepts of
Buddhism. At one 
stage I moved to a cemetery where I lived and meditated continually. Some
monks who 
really want to know the truths of Buddha do things like I did. Some move
deep into the 
forests where they live a life of self-denial and poverty. I sought to
deny my selfish 
thoughts and desires, to escape from sickness and suffering and to break
free from the 
cycle of this world. At the cemetery I was not afraid of ghosts. I tried
to attain such inner 
peace and self-realization that even when a mosquito landed on my arm I
would let it bite 
me instead of bru****ng it off!

For years I strived to be the best monk I could and not to harm any living
being. I studied 
the holy Buddhist teachings just like all my forefathers had done before
me. My life 
proceeded as a monk until I got very, very sick. I was in Mandalay at the
time and had to 
be taken to the hospital for treatment. The doctors did some tests on me
and told me I 
had both Yellow Fever and malaria at the same time! After about one month
in the 
hospital I was getting worse. The doctors told me there was no chance for
me to recover 
and discharged me to make arrangements to die.

This is a brief description of my past. I would now like to tell you some
of the remarkable 
things that happened to me after this time...

A Vision that Changed My Life Forever

After I was discharged from the hospital I went back to the monastery
where other 
monks cared for me. I grew weaker and weaker and was lapsing into
unconsciousness. I 
learned later that I actually died for three days. My body decayed and
stunk of death, and 
my heart stopped beating. My body was prepared for cremation and was put
through 
traditional Buddhist purification rites.

Although I faded away in my body I remember my mind and spirit were fully
alert. I was in 
a very, very powerful storm. A tremendous wind flattened the whole
landscape until there 
were no trees or anything else standing, just a flat plain. I walked very
fast along this plain 
for some time. There were no other people anywhere, I was all alone. After
some time I 
crossed a river. On the other side of the river I saw a terrible, terrible
lake of fire. In 
Buddhism we do not have a concept of a place like this. At first I was
confused and didn't 
know it was hell until I saw Yama, the king of hell [Yama is the name
ascribed to the King 
of Hell in numerous cultures throughout Asia]. His face looked like the
face of a lion, his 
body was like a lion, but his legs were like a naga [serpent spirit]. He
had a number of 
horns on his head. His face was very fierce, and I was extremely afraid.
Trembling, I 
asked him his name. He replied, "I am the king of hell, the Destroyer."

The terrible, terrible lake of fire

The king of hell told me to look into the lake of fire. I looked and I saw
the saffron colored 
robes that Buddhist monks wear in Myanmar. I looked closer and saw the
shaven head of 
a man. When I looked at the man's face I saw it was U Zadila Kyar Ni Kan
Sayadaw [the 
famous monk who had died in a car accident in 1983]. I asked the king of
hell why my 
former leader was confined to this lake of torment. I said, "Why is he in
this lake of fire? 
He was a very good teacher. He even had a teaching tape called 'Are You a
Man or a 
Dog?' which had helped thousands of people understand that their worth as
humans is 
far greater than the animals." The king of hell replied, "Yes, he was a
good teacher but he 
did not believe in Jesus Christ. That's why he is in hell."

I was told to look at another person who was in the fire. I saw a man with
very long hair 
wrapped on the left hand side of his head. He was also wearing a robe. I
asked the king 
of hell, "Who is this man?" He replied, "This is the one you wor****p:
Gautama [Buddha]." I 
was very disturbed to see Gautama in hell. I protested, "Gautama had good
ethnics and 
good moral character, why is he suffering in this lake of fire?" The king
of hell answered 
me, "It doesn't matter how good he was. He is in this place because he did
not believe in 
the Eternal God."

I then saw another man who looked like he was wearing a soldier's uniform.
He had a 
large wound on his chest. I asked, "Who is this man?" The king of hell
said, "This is Aung 
San, the revolutionary leader of Myanmar." I was told, "Aung San is here
because he 
persecuted and killed Christians, but mostly because he didn't believe in
Jesus Christ." In 
Myanmar the people have a common saying, "Soldiers never die, they live
on." I was told 
that the legions of hell have a saying "Soldiers never die, but they go to
hell forever."

I looked and saw another man in the lake of fire. He was a very tall man
and he was 
dressed in military armor. He was also holding a sword and a ****eld. This
man had a 
wound on his forehead. This man was taller than any person I have ever
seen. He was six 
times the length between a man's elbow and the tips of his fingers when he
stretches his 
arm out straight, plus one span of a man's fingers when he spreads out his
hand. The 
king of hell said, "This man's name is Goliath. He is in hell because he
blasphemed the 
Eternal God and His servant David." I was confused because I didn't know
who either 
Goliath or David were. The king of hell said, "Goliath is recorded in the
Christian Bible. 
You don't know him now, but when you become a Christian you will know who
he is."

I was then taken to a place where I saw both rich and poor people
preparing to eat their 
evening meals. I asked, "Who cooked the food for these people?" The king
of hell replied, 
"The poor have to prepare their own food, but the rich people get others
to cook for 
them." When the food had been prepared for the rich people they sat down
to eat. As 
soon as they started a thick smoke came up. The rich people ate as fast as
they could to 
ease their consciences. They were struggling to breath because of the
smoke. They had 
to eat fast because they were fearful of losing their money. Their money
is their god.

Another king of hell then came to me. I also saw a being whose job is to
stoke the fires 
beneath the lake of fire, to keep it hot. This being asked me, "Are you
going into the lake 
of fire too?" I replied, "No! I am only here to observe!" The appearance
of this creature 
stoking the fire was very terrifying. He had ten horns on his head and a
spear in his hand 
that had seven sharp blades coming from the end. The creature told me,
"You are right. 
You came here just to observe. I cannot find your name here." He said,
"You must now 
go back the way you came." He pointed me toward the desolate plain that I
had first 
walked along before I came to the lake of fire.

The Road of Decision

I walked a long time, until I was bleeding. I was hot and in great pain.
Finally, after walking 
for about three hours I came to a wide road. I walked along this road for
some time until I 
came to a fork. One road, going off to the left, was wide. A smaller road
went off to the 
right hand side. There was a signpost at the fork saying that the road to
the left was for 
those who do not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. The smaller road to the
right was for 
believers in Jesus.

I was interested to see where the larger road led so I started down it.
There were two 
men walking about 300 yards ahead of me. I tried to catch up with them so
I could walk 
with them but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't catch them up, so I
turned around and 
went back to the fork in the road. I continued to watch these two men as
they walked 
down the road away from me. When they reached the end of the road they
were 
suddenly stabbed. These two men cried out in great pain! I also cried out
when I saw 
what happened to them! I realized the bigger road ended in great danger
for those who 
traveled down it.

Looking into Heaven

I started walking down the believers' road instead. After traveling for
about one hour the 
surface of the road turned to pure gold. It was so pure that when I looked
down I could 
see my own reflection perfectly. I then saw a man standing in front of me.
He was 
wearing a white robe. I also heard beautiful singing. Oh, it was so
beautiful and pure! It 
was much better and more meaningful than the wor****p we have in churches
here on the 
earth. The man in the white robe asked me to walk with him. I asked him,
"What is your 
name?" but he did not answer. After I asked his name six times the man
answered, "I am 
the one who holds the key to heaven. Heaven is a very, very beautiful
place. You cannot 
go there now but if you follow Jesus Christ you can go there after your
life has finished on 
the earth." The man's name was Peter.

Peter then asked me to sit down and he showed me a place to the north.
Peter said, 
"Look to the north and see God create man." I saw the Eternal God from a
distance. 
God spoke to an angel, "Let us make man." The angel pleaded with God and
said, 
"Please don't make man. He will do wrong and will grieve you." [In Burmese
literally: "He 
will make you lose face."]. But God created a man named anyway. God blew
on the man 
and the man came to life. He gave him the name "Adam". [Note: Buddhists do
not believe 
in the Creation of the world or of man, so this experience had a
significant impact on the 
monk].

Sent Back with a New Name

Then Peter said, "Now get up and go back to where you came from. Speak to
the people 
who wor****p Buddha and who wor****p idols. Tell them they must go to hell
if they don't 
change. Those who build temples and idols will also have to go to hell.
Those who give 
offerings to the monks to earn merit for themselves with go to hell. All
those who pray to 
the monks and call them 'Pra' [respectful title for monks] will go to
hell. Those who chant 
and 'give life' to idols will go to hell. All those who don't believe in
Jesus Christ will go to 
hell." Peter told me to go back to the earth and testify about the things
I had seen. He 
also said, "You must speak in your new name. From now on you are to be
called Athet 
Pyan ****nthaw Paulu ["Paul who Came Back to Life."].

I didn't want to go back. I wanted to go to heaven. Angels opened a book.
First they 
looked for my childhood name (Thitpin) in the book, but they could not
find it. They then 
looked for the name I had been given when he entered the Buddhist monk
hood (U Nata 
Pannita A****nthuriya) but it wasn't written in the book either. Then Peter
said, "Your name 
is not written here, you must return and testify about Jesus to the
Buddhist people."

I walked back along the gold road. Again I heard beautiful singing, the
kind of which I 
have never heard before or since. Peter walked with me until the time I
returned to the 
earth. He showed me a ladder that reached down from the heaven to the sky.
The ladder 
didn't reach to the earth, but stopped in mid-air. On the ladder I saw
many angels, some 
going up to heaven and some going down the ladder. They were very busy. I
asked Peter, 
"Who are they?" Peter answered, "They are messengers of God. They are
re****ting to 
heaven the names of all those who believe in Jesus Christ and the names of
those who 
don't believe." Peter then told me it was time to go back.

It is a Ghost!

The next thing I was aware of was the sound of weeping. I heard my own
mother cry out, 
"My son, why did you leave us now?" I also heard many other people
weeping. I realized I 
was lying in a box. I started to move. My mother and father started
shouting, "He is alive! 
He is alive!" Other people who were farther away did not believe my
parents. I then placed 
my hands on the sides of the box and sat upright. Many people were struck
with terror. 
They cried out, "It is a ghost!" and ran away as fast as their legs could
carry them.

Those who remained were speechless and trembling. I noticed I was sitting
in smelly 
liquid and body fluids, enough to fill about three and a half cups. This
was liquid that had 
come out of my stomach and my insides while my body was lying in the
coffin. This is why 
people knew I had indeed been dead. Inside the coffin there was a type of
plastic sheet 
fixed to the wood. This sheet is placed there to retain a corpse's
liquids, because many 
dead bodies release much fluid like mine did.

I learned later that I was just moments away from being cremated in the
flames. In 
Myanmar people are placed in a coffin, the lid is then nailed shut, and
the whole coffin is 
burned. When I came back to life my mother and father were being allowed
to look at my 
body for the very last time. Moments later the lid of my coffin would have
been nailed shut 
and I would have been cremated!

I immediately started to explain the things I had seen and heard. People
were 
astonished. I told them about the men I had seen in the lake of fire, and
told them that 
only the Christians know the truth, that our forefathers and us have been
deceived for 
thousands of years! I told them everything we believe is a lie. The people
were astonished 
because they knew what kind of a monk I had been and how zealous I had
been for the 
teachings of Buddha.

In Myanmar when a person dies their name and age is written on the side of
the coffin. 
When a monk dies, the monk's name, age and the number of years he has
served as a 
monk are written on the side of the coffin. I had already been recorded as
dead but as 
you can see, now I am alive!

Epilogue

Since 'Paul who came back to life' experienced the above story he has
remained a faithful 
witness to the Lord Jesus Christ. Burmese pastors have told us that he had
led hundreds 
of other monks to faith in Christ. His testimony is obviously very
uncompromising. 
Because of that, his message has offended many people who cannot accept
there is 
only one Way to Heaven, the Lord Jesus Christ. Despite great opposition,
his 
experiences were so real to him that he has not wavered. After many years
in the 
Buddhist monk hood, as a strict follower of Buddhist teachings, he
immediately 
proclaimed the Gospel of Christ following his resurrection and exhorted
other monks to 
forsake all false gods and follow Jesus Christ with all their hearts.
Before the time of his 
sickness and death he had no exposure to Christianity at all. Everything
he learned during 
those three days in the grave was new to his mind.

In a bid to get his message out to as many people as possible, this
modern-day Lazarus 
began distributing audio and video cassette tapes with his story on them.
The police and 
Buddhist authorities in Myanmar have done their utmost to gather these
tapes up and 
destroy them. The testimony you have just read has been translated form
one of those 
cassette tapes. We are told it is now quite dangerous for citizens of
Myanmar to be in 
possession of these tapes.

His fearless testimony has landed him in prison at least once, where the
authorities failed 
in their bid to silence him. Upon his release he continued to testify of
the things he saw 
and heard. His current whereabouts are uncertain. One Burmese informant
told us he is 
prison and may have been killed, while another informant was told he is
now released 
from prison and is continuing his ministry.
