DEAR ONES,
The following is from Tim's website at:

I have KNOWN for a very long time that if and when China invades Taiwan, they will include the Philippines, too.
Excerpt From Message From Timothy Spoken In Bend, Oregon On May 15, 2004
Urgency To Intercede For The United States, Israel, China & Taiwan
On May 14, 2004 -- Israel's Independence Day -- I received the following vision shortly after arriving in the United States from the Philippines.
Vision: Immediately after invading Taiwan, China had invaded the Philippine Islands. U.S. troops had once again come to the aid of the Philippines -- as in World War II -- and were fighting along side Filipino soldiers. But the absence of U.S. air superiority (because of the closure of our military bases in the early 90's) led to a quick to a quick defeat of our joint forces. U.S. soldiers were being slaughtered by the thousands, and atrocities being committed by the Chinese a thousand times worse than anything we have seen in Iraq.
In one segment of the vision, hundreds of filipinos had been gathered up in a straight line to be shot by the Chinese for 'colaborating with Americans'. A little boy ran in between the machine guns and Filipinos and shouted "Stop!". Stunned, the Chinese lowered their guns to take a closer look at the small boy, then suddenly dropped their riffles as the anointing of the Holy Spirit fell like a heavy weight over their arms. The little boy I recognized as my son, Joshua, and his age in the vision appeared to be close to his present age. Chinese troops were patroling the streets of the Philippines from the tip of Luzon in the north to the city of Zamboanga in the South, and darkness fell over the land as many martyrs spilled their blood upon the soil of the islands of the sea.
It is urgent that we intercede for the leaders of China and Taiwan, because the enemy is once again trying to create a Third World War. We are not to fear the future, but intercede to change the future. World War II could have been averted through strategic intercession, but the Church in that generation did not recongnize the urgency of the hour in which they living until world events overwhelmed them and it was too late. Let's not wait till it is too late, but intercede now, for history is now in the process of being written.
Note: Less than 24-hours after this word was spoken in Bend, Oregon, China threatened the destruction of Taipei, and threats against Taiwan continue till this day. Also today (May 19, 2004), a strong 6.5 quake shook Taipei, and we've been warned of larger quakes in the 8 to 9-point realm which will follow in the China-Taiwan region. Continue to intercede for China and Taiwan, for if war in the Asian-Pacific region erupts, war in America will follow.
United States and Israel
Just as it is important to pray for the leaders of China and Taiwan, it is equally important to pray for the leaders of the United States and Israel, which are both on the verge of major wake up calls. Strategic intercession can tilt the balance. Keep your eyes closely on world events. A major earthquake in Alaska in the 9-point realm will be preceded by a smaller quake in the 7-point realm SOUTH of Alaska on the U.S. or Canadian Coast. This smaller quake will be a divine warning that time is short to avert a Great Quake. Intercession towards the United States and Israel can affect the timetable of these events.
This was a small excerpt of the message spoken in our Bend, Oregon meeting on Saturday, May 15. The Presense of the Holy Spirit was very strong in the meetings, and following the word to intercede for China, the United States and Israel there was an anointed time of ministry and personal prophecy.
Misc. Meeting Stats, Info
Meeting Location: Bend Holiday Inn Express, McKenzie Conference Room
Number Of People In Attendence To Intercede For The Pacific Northwest: 12
Status Of Meeting: Overwhelming Success
We do not judge success upon the amount of people who attend or size of offering, but upon obedience to the Holy Spirit and the anointing released to bring about change. In the mountains of the Philippines where we normally minister, an average offering consists of several bags of rice and periodically a chicken or goat, given sacrificially by the people who come to hear a strange white man speak about Jesus. My idea of success is going to bed at night covered with the sweet presense of the Holy Spirit.
Ministry Update
I am departing Oregon tomorrow for a thousand mile journey across Northern and Southern California. Two of our seven meetings on this trip have cancelled because of the strong spiritual warefare surrounding this particular mission -- the enemy obviously does not want a river of intercession released over North America, but his plans shall not succeed. Pray for our vehicle as we travel across the West Coast, especially our tires ... that they would be supernaturally preserved until funds come in to buy new ones. In June, I will be deparing for South Africa for two weeks to network with pastors and leaders in the Cape Town area, traveling on a bonus-mile ticket donated to the ministry last year. Thanks for your prayers!
Blessings,
Timothy Snodgrass
