    astor Michael C. McQueen and Associate Pastor

    Annmarie McQueen have been ministering together

    since November 1993, when they took over

    leadership of Faith Ministries International,

    Bamberg, Germany.

    They have been married for 28 years and have three lovely children together,

    Michelle, 28, Michael, Jr., soon 25, and Miguel, 11 years old. The family had been on

    the mission field in Germany for 16 years, with Pastor Michael serving as the seniorpastor and Annmarie as the associate pastor, until the family relocated to the US in

    July 2006. They have continued to minister in Germany and Europe.

    Pastor Michael is an ordained Elder in the Pentecostal Assemblies of the

    World Inc. and a strong advocate of the Apostles doctrine which he preaches and

    teaches under the anointed power of Jesus. He has received a Associates Degree in

    Biblical Studies from ICI University. He is a veteran of the First Persian Gulf War,

    where he served as a medic.

    ministering the Word of God as the Spirit gives utterance for over 25 years, is the

    author of three books, and travels throughout Europe and the United States as well

    as in Africa, preaching the Word of God and teaching His truth, crossing cultural,

    educational, economical, and denominational lines, and always doing those things

    that please the Father.

    Together, they are committed to healing the broken-hearted, to preachdeliverance to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, and to set at liberty them

    that are bruised, and to leading Gods people into victorious living in spite of the

    obstacles.

    Michelle McQueen is anointed by

    God to usher in Gods Glory

    through liturgical dance. The call

    to dance came after a serious knee

    injury which threatened her ability

    to ever walk again. She has been

    dancing for eight years since that

    call. Her life exemplifies that of

    Christ. Her dancing is truly

    anointed.

    The cover picture and the ones below were taken during Pastor Annmaries mission toSierra Leone.

    Sierra Leone, the country of Unity, Freedom, and Justice as stated in its Coat of Arms,

    is a land rich in natural resources, such as gold and diamonds. Yet, according to statis-

    tics, it is one of the poorest nations of the world. People suffer from hunger and die of

    easy-to-treat illnesses due to the lack of a health care system.

    We visited a number of schools, all of which were needy. In addition to schooling their

    children, the people need health clinics, too. At Faith in Christ Primary School the

    children do have a building which has a roof. Some children do not have a school

    building at all. Other schools have a structure but no roof - or the roof has been blown

    off. In some cases, a bundle of tin or two would shelter them from the rain in the rainy

    seasonand protect the clay walls from getting soaked and collapsing.

    Many of the children come to school hungryand do not get lunch at school either. It

    would just take 100 euros / 100 dollars or 100 pounds to feed an entire school for a

    whole month. Teachers often do not get paid. Wed like to see them get a salary of

    10 euros / 10 dollars / 10 pounds.

    1 Cor. 9:20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are un-der the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;

    1 Cor. 9:21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but underthe law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.

    1 Cor. 9:22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to allmen, that I might by all means save some.

    First of all let me ask you, Are you the called of God? If you are called, Do you know your

    assignment? Are you willing to go anywhere or to do whatever the Master assigns to you?

    This message is directed to all Christian workers, whether they are pastors, evangelist, missionar-ies, etc. The aim of this message is to help you clearly define your assignment. I have realizedthat there are many saints out there who are honestly and sincerely committed to the work ofGod but, unfortunately, they are confused and frustrated. Especially, when they comparethemselves and their ministry to others and find out that they are struggling while others areenjoying themselves. They are not even sure of what they are doing. They keep moving from

    one thing to another, one place to another and are still wondering whether they are doing theright thing or not. A lot of these people are really disappointed at the result of their ministry.

    To help them fill this void, they resort to carrying all kinds of titles just to impress their peers. Iam very sorry for you if you find yourself in such a situation. I just want to help you get an un-

    derstanding of what I term as a Paradoxical Truth with regard to the ministry of the Lord Je-sus Christ.

    The plain truth is that:

    1. God did not call us all to do the same thing.2. God did not send us all with the same message emphasis.

    3. God did not assigned us to the same place and people.

    Whoever you are, that is called of God, know this: for all of us who have acknowledged this callto duty, there is only one important prayer to be prayed:

    Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? (ACTS 9:6, KJV)

    Recently, after my usual private dawn prayer, I sat quietly reflecting over my ministry. Its beena little over a quarter of a century since I acknowledged the call of God to preach His Word. Irealized that it has been about two decades of consistent pastoral work.

    The Paradoxical Truth Aboutthe Mountain and Valley Ministry

    Written by Pastor Francis Quansah

  • 8/14/2019 MUM Magazine Winter 09

    8/26

    As I sat pondering these thoughts, I enjoyed moments of joy and glorious times when I sawmyself on top of the mountain of honor and fame. Everything went well and what a joythere was in ministry. I then recounted moments of distress where the going had been toughand unpleasant. As I looked deeply into all those disappointing times, I was tempted to openmy mouth and say, Years wasted. I was so sad for all those periods in my ministry when Iexperienced opposition and slow progress. Should I consider those years of my life and minis-try as wasted years? There came suddenly a hush from the Holy Spirit. Gradually, I wasthrown into a deep trance and what I saw was a Mountain and a Valley. In this vision, I sawcertain ones who were trapped on a snow-capped mountain, and down below there werealso those who were trapped in a flooded Valley. Both groups needed to be rescued. It wasonly there and then that the Lord opened my understanding to comprehend the paradoxicaltruth of the mountain and valley ministry.

    Now considering the life of Jesus Christ, what shall we say about Him?

    Master or Servant? Judge or Lawyer? Rich or Poor? God or Man?

    Eph 4:10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above allheavens, that he might fill all things.

    To make it plain and simple, what I am saying is that there are some who are called to climb

    the mountain to reach a place where the wealthy and highly privileged ones in societyare. These could be influential personalities in places of authority in this world.

    On the other hand, there are those who are called to descend from the top into the valley torescue those who are trapped in the valley of poverty, sickness, despair and shame.Then the Lord asked me which one was easier? Then I said, Neither!

    This is what the Apostle Paul had to say:

    Phil. 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewithto be content.Phil. 4:12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: everywhere and in all things Iam instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.Phil. 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

    I came to conclude here that as servants of God, some might be called to minister to therich and wealthy in society. That being the case, the quality of their life and outward dis-position could reflect such an assignment. Others, however, may be called to minister to

    the poor and down-trodden in society. If that was so, it could have a serious impact on

    the quality of their lives and their outward disposition. It must be understood that, nomatter what position a person may find themselves in, none is better than the other. We

    all have to be content with the Masters will and remain faithful.

    In the Bible, we can speak of prophets like Nathan who was privileged to minister to theKing. And there was also Jeremiah who was considered to be a public nuisance.

    In our time and generation, we have witnessed with our own eyes, contrasting ministriessuch as that of Billy Graham, who served President after President, and that of MotherTeresa serving and living among the poor in Calcutta.

    One thing is worth learning from bothand that is faithfulness. They responded to thecall in obedience and faithfulness.

    Thank you and Shalom!

    Reflections Part No. 1

    Evangelist Marlene Walters

    I have been blessed to attend all the previous Prayer Conferences atFaith Chapel, and have derived a spiritual refreshing from each of

    them. This year was most exhilarating and held my attention from

    the late night session on Friday till its climax on Sunday afternoon.This was followed by our first five-night Revival Crusade.

    The topic of the Prayer Conference, "Lord, Heal Our Land", wasdivinely chosen. Pastor Annmarie expounded on this appeal in such

    a way that we were left thirsty for more of the Word.

    The theme of the Revival, "A Time of Refreshing", continued thisawe inspiring teaching and revelation and gave us insight into

    where we are as individuals in the body of Christ as an assembly.

    After hearing this impacting, empowering, profound Word of God

    delivered with inspiration and conviction, I was left with no choice

    but to receive whoI am in Christwith a deeper and more personal

    meaning. It confirmed and upheld my own convictions of my placein the Kingdom, replacing misconceptions and doubts. The Word

    was delivered with such power and authority.

    Caesarea Philippi: largest springs

    which feeds the River Jordan.

    It was evident that Pastor Annmarie walked in the full knowledge of who

    she was in Christ and, therefore, had the ability to usher others into this

    place of receiving their blessings from God. The visual illustration of"being seated together in Christ", where she used a chair to demonstrate

    our place in Christ, was simple but ever so effective.

    The events culminated with Pastor Annmarie patiently ministering to

    every soul that joined the prayer line. She did not merely touch and utter

    a few words, but showed concern as she spoke and prayed with each per-son as if they were the only ones at the altar. This truly inspired and

    humbled me. I was honored to be of some assistance to her.

    We had a glorious time every night of these events. I have personally

    endeavored to read the book of Proverbs as often as possible and also the52 points of "Who I am/What I have in Christ". I look forward to our

    next conference with great anticipation and will continue to pray for Pas-tor Annmarie and her ministry.

    Reflections Part No. 2

    Evangelist Hilary Kamara:

    Through the power of God, theministry of Pastor Annmarie has

    been instrumental and of greatinspiration in my spiritual

    life. Her God-given ability to

    deliver the Word and bring about

    change is unique. Each year, Ilook forward to this event and am always refreshed and strengthened

    by the Word.

    This year's Prayer Conference and Revival Crusade were astounding!

    Through the preaching and teaching, I have developed a clearer under-standing about prayer in general, praying in the spirit, praying accord-

    ing to the Word and most of all I have a greater revelation of who I am

    in Christ and my place in His Kingdom.

    The recordings of these meetings give me the opportunity to revisit the

    various areas that Pastor Annmarie expounded on so I can glean more.May the Lord Jesus continue to bless her as she continues to ministerto the people of God.

    Evangelist Hilary KamaraFaith Chapel, London, England

    Reflections Part No. 3Sister Nicola Walters:

    What a powerful and impacting Prayer Conference this was! As I rel-

    ished the Word and received from the Spirit, the Lord began to deal

    with me. He began a process of healing. Through Pastor Annmarie'sobedience and anointing, the Lord was able to speak to me, correct me

    and heal me.

    The Lord began to reveal to me the battlefield in my mind, showing me how the mind

    can hold you captive, even though, physically, you appear free.

    Pastor Annmarie reminded us of who we are in Christ, of what we are able to achieve inHis name, and more so, what is required of us as children of the living God, according

    to His Word. She gave us strategies and tools to do spiritual warfare as situations pre-sent themselves to us on a daily basis. She encouraged us to continue trusting in the

    Lord, praying His Word into our lives, speaking with Him and praising Him daily.

    Having a relationship with the Lord has helped me to receive His instructions, throughPastor Annmarie, one of His obedient vessels. As we were reading II Chronicles 12-17,

    the Lord began to show me the things that I battle with in my mind on a frequent basis,the feelings that have controlled some of my actions and motives; negative thinking,

    worry and doubt. These things affected my state of mind. The Lord was telling me not

    to be afraid. He was encouraging me to fight these thoughts and feelings with HisWord, the sword of the Spirit, and to have faith in Him. He reminded me that the battles

    in my mind have already been won, and that the land (my mind) was already healed. I

    only needed to command my mind to come into alignment with God with the power and

    authority given to me in Acts 1:8, and cast down all thoughts and suggestions that comeagainst a Christ-like mind.

    Through effective teaching and preaching, Pastor Annmarie empowered and encouragedus to live the Word, and apply it to our lives daily. She referred to it as the instruction

    manual to a life of peace, love, understanding, abundance and a whole lot more in Jesus

    Name.

    Each year, the Prayer Conference have been a great blessing! They have helped me in

    my marriage, ministry and a number of other areas of my life. They have impacted me

    spiritually and encouraged me to keep my faith in the Lord...because He shall never for-sake me nor leave me! The state of my mind is changing and I see the results and re-

    wards of walking in faith and obedience to the Word.

    This year, MUM went to Sierra

    Leone for the first time. There, we

    did seven full days of teaching and

    preaching, in addition to visiting

    different schools and all the facili-

    ties. The trip was life-changing for

    me.We were invited to go by District

    Elder June Cranston-Young of

    London, England, who had been

    working with the saints there for

    almost thirty years. Her heart was

    captured during her first trip when

    she noticed how big the children's

    bellies were and that many of them

    had open sores all over their bod-

    ies. She sought God for answers

    for these conditions.

    He gave her what she asked forand thirty years later, after an all-

    out civil war along with everything

    else, she was inspired and, as she

    puts it, 'carried bricks', and built

    four schools, nine churches, and a

    clinic. By the time we visited, Sis-

    ter June, as we lovingly call her,

    had done most of the hard work.

    Today, there is still much to be

    done, however. Because of the

    war, many of the structures were

    destroyed and the people seemhopeless and very needy. We

    spent a great deal of time teaching

    them about becoming producers

    and not consumers. We taught

    about depending on the Lord, in-

    stead of on people. We encour-

    aged them, especially the women

    and widows, to learn trades and

    begin home-based businesses. Inthe schools, we encouraged the

    teachers to teach the children Eng-

    lish so that they can function better

    in society.

    We talked about good nutrition

    and family relations. We did all

    we could and before it was over

    with, we were out of time and

    money. Again, it was a life-

    changing experience for me. I had

    never seen so much poverty in my

    life and I was embarrassed that Icould not do more. Thanks to all

    six of us putting our resources to-

  • 8/14/2019 MUM Magazine Winter 09

    15/26

    15

    gether, a lot was done. We wereable to put walls and roofs up, weput in a bathroom, got land legally

    registered, supplied books and

    other school supplies and, since

    returning, have received help to

    begin lunch programs, pay school

    fees and much, much more.

    A big Thank You to Sister June,

    Sister Nina, Sister Lorna, Sister

    Kay, and Anke. Sister June was

    able to leave business-starting

    items, such as clothes, shoes, tires,books, appliances, coolers to sell

    cold drinks, and much, much more.

    There is still much to do, though

    much was done. With all of that,

    however, I still felt ashamed.

    I wanted to do more and though I

    taught during the day and preached

    every night, it was not enough be-

    cause we needed more tangible

    resources. Space will not permit

    me to list all the needs: moreschool fees, books, computers,medical supplies, monies to pay

    teachers, lunch program... The list

    goes on and on. These are just a

    few. Deuteronomy 8:18 tells us

    that God does give us the power to

    get wealth. We must know what to

    do with what we get.

    On the way home, on the plane,

    Kay and I became emotional when

    our food was brought to us.

    Through tears, she told me that shekept seeing the faces of the chil-

    dren. She wanted to do more as

    well. My life was changed in Si-

    erra Leone. Among many, many

    things, I will mention one thing

    that I learned: If I only have

    enough for me.... it is NOT all

    right.

    Thank You!

    I would like to extent a great big

    THANK YOU to District Elder June

    Cranston-Young for thirty years of

    awesome service for the Lord in

    Sierra Leone and throughout the

    world. She has done a remarkable

    (and often thankless) job under very

    difficult circumstances. She has

    carried bricks, laid tiles, walked formiles, tended wounds, packed

    boxes, spent thousands of pounds,

    and much more. Much of her work

    has gone unrecognized, but McQueen Universal Ministries would

    like to recognize Sister Cranston-Young for all she has done. Your

    work speaks for you and your labor of love will never be

    forgotten.

    We are the generation com-ing up in the rear. Not that we are trying to put anypressure on you but if youare reading this then youhave been chosen. Godloves you!!! GO to the na-tions and PREACH His Gos-pel. Being a young adultmyself, I have often askedthe Lord if I needed to bedoing more. Most of thetime I felt like God was tell-ing me to do less. I felt likeI was moving forwardbut still not sure if I wasf u l l y g r a s p i n g m y life's purpose by the horns.

    With this unsurety, theLord began to show meHimself. What did Jesus doat my age? Did He worry

    about His life's purpose?Was He wondering aboutHis mate? Was He lookinginto getting a career?

    In the book of Luke chapter2, the Bible speaks about when Jesus was twelve years old. He was down-town Jerusalem for the yearly traditional feast. He was not distracted by thethings the market had tosell. He was not catchingup with the guys he metlast year. He was lookingfor ways to learn. In theend, He found a group He

    could relate to: priests, law- yers, scribes and scholars.He was listening to themand asking them questions.

    Jesus had a desire to learn from the age of twelve.He learned about people, the church and the govern-ment. The Bible continues to paint the picture thatfor the rest of His days, throughout His teenage yearsand all of His twenties, Jesus "increased in wisdomand stature, and in favor with God and man." Luke2:52. The Lord then showed me that this was mypurpose for this season. Now, the next question maybe, How do we do this? I'm glad you asked.

    1: Fear the Lord and do His commandments.Psalm 111:10. The Bible says, "The fear of theLord is the beginning of wisdom: a good under-

    standing have all they that do His command-ments."

    2: Seek God's Kingdom first. Matthew6:33. Don't seek a career or how to make moneyfirst. Seek first His Kingdom and build His King-dom and the career and money will come.

    3: Dwell in the secret place of the MostHigh. Psalm 91:1. "And the child grew, andwaxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom and the

    grace of God was upon Him." Luke 2:40. You cangrow and wax strong in spirit like Jesus if you usethese special years of your life to dwell in the se-cret place of the Most High by praying and medi-tating on God's Word.

    4: Listen to HIM as Hespeaks to you. "For the Lordgives wisdom; from Hismouth comes knowledge andunderstanding. He stores upsound wisdom for the up-

    right. Proverbs 2:6-7. Betaught of the Lord and greatshall be your peace. Isaiah54:13.

    5: Study to show yourself approved. 1 Timothy

    2:15. Sharpen yourself in the Lord, so that when yourtime comes in the Lord, you will not put yourself and/orGod to shame. You will want to shine as a light. Andwhen people see you, they will see Jesus. John 12:45-46.

    6: Be like Daniel, do not defile yourself with the thingsof this world. Daniel 1:4, 8-21. Be careful what you watch on TV, listen to or what activities you engagein. For God to promote you like He did Daniel, God islooking for a pure and praying heart.So, be pure in heart, so that you and your generation will

    see God!!! - Matthew 5:8, Psalm 24.

    7: Save yourself from this untoward generation! Acts2:40. And with many other words did he testify and ex-hort, saying, save yourselves from this untoward genera-tion. At all cost, find yourself in Christ. With reverentialfear! That equates to loving God. If mother, father, sister,brother, and friends don't go, you must GO! Go and re-lentlessly pursue all that God has purposed for you tobe! Without distraction seek, watch, fast and pray; stand

    and stay in the God's will.

    Do these steps and you are guaranteed to gainground in your walk with God. Let the Lordincrease you in wisdom and stature, and infavor with God and man. The world will haveto watch out because you will be coming toturn many from the power of Satan to thePower of God. Acts 26:18, Isaiah 61:1.

    Next year will be a year of more deception (shadows) thanever. Darkness on top of darkness and shadows on top of

    shadows. But the children of God have light and we should

    keep on looking up. It will be similar to this year at first, wherethings will seem to be spiraling down (in the world, of course)...

    then suddenly, things will pick up. Do not be deceived by theway things seem to be... do not trust the external voices of the

    systems of this world, especially the religious ones. Pay atten-tion to the Voice of God. Line up the Voice with the Word and

    plan to be meticulously obedient.

    Look at Exodus 27-30. Moses was obedient to every detailand, indeed, God was detailed with him. Careful obedience is

    what will keep you in an enlarged wealthy and blessed place. Alot of quiet meditation will be a requirement, take another look

    at the Sabbath. You are never too busy to be Spirit-led. Beserious about your Word intake. Let the Word continue to

    transform and inform you. Stay in the Psalms (Im talkingabout hilarious praise), stay in the Proverbs (I'm talking about

    the wisdom of God) and the Epistles (Im talking about who you

    are in Christ.) Use what you have already. Multiply, multiply,multiply. It's in you.

    Read Daniel Chapter 7 often.

    RECEIVE JESUSASYOUR LORDAND SAVIORTODAY.

    If you have not been born again, then it is time for you to confess

    and repent of your sins. In Acts 2:38, when Peter was asked whatmen should do to be saved, he said, Repent, be baptized in the

    Name of Jesus and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. I

    encourage you, if you have not done this, do it now. The Lord is

    waiting on you to come home to Him.

    If you would like someone to pray with you as you confess yourfaith in Christ, please email us at [email protected]

    Insights from Pastor Annmarie for the Year 2010

    Proverbs 13:12 promises that adream fulfilled is a tree of life. As ayoung girl, God placed a dream in myheart for the people of Africa. Thatdream lay dormant in my heart until2006 when God reminded me of thedesire he had placed there.

    In 2006 my church offered a BibleInstitute class on missions. I thoughtthat would be a way to connect withother people who had a heart for mis-sions. One of our assignments was to

    write down our vision for missions.When I started writing, the Holy Spiritstirred up the memory of my love forAfrica. God began to awaken thedream in my spirit to serve Him in Af-rica.

    As I sought for the how and when ofthis dream to be fulfilled, God directedme to Proverbs 3:5-6, Trust in the Lordwith all your heart, do not depend onyour own understanding. Seek His will

    in all you do, and He will show the pathto take. (NLT) In my own understand-ing, I did not know how or when I wouldgo to Africa, but I knew He would com-plete the work He started showing methe path to take. As I sought Him, in

    2008, God allowed my path to cross

    with Pastor Annmarie McQueen. Afterseveral conversations, I learned thatshe was an Evangelist and Pastor, andfounder of Making a Difference Institute.When she told me she was going toNigeria, Africa, in July, I spoke to herabout my hearts desire concerning Af-rica. God continued to connect us atdifferent events as well as at church. Iasked her to pray about me going withher on a future mission trip to Africa.

    As I continued to seek Gods direc-tion, He instructed me to apply for apassport. This may sound like a simplestep, but I had never traveled interna-tionally so getting a passport was a bigstep for me. Even before I knew Godsexact time and place for me, I believedHe would show me the necessary re-quirements to travel to Africa.

    When I went back to my job in the

    fall, Alexis Cox, one of my third gradestudents, told me how God had touchedher heart for a country in Africa. Sheshared with me about the poor people inSierra Leone, West Africa.

    On October 26, 2008, she wrote a letter tothe class about her desire to send money tohelp them. I explained to her about the dreamGod had place in my heart concerning Africawhen I was her age. God connected ourhearts with a common desire and soon thepath had increased with people who had adream to bless Africa.

    On the following Sunday, I saw PastorAnnmarie who had been ministering in the UK.While there, she met with Missionary JuneCranston-Young who shared with her about themissions and schools God had used her to de-velop in Africa. Sister June asked her to prayabout ministering in these missions. As shespoke about the possibility of going to Africa,my excitement grew when she asked if I wouldconsider going. Without any hesitation, I said,Yes! Then I asked where in Africa? Whenshe said Sierra Leone, I knew God had clearedthe path! I shared about Alexis and how Godhad spoken to her about this same country onlysix days earlier. My heart jumped for joy toknow that my Father was leading the way.

    As God continued to prepare me spirituallyand physically, the dream became reality June4, 2009. As we stepped onto the plane headedfor Sierra Leone, West Africa, a heart of thank-fulness welled up inside me for a Father wholoved me so much. Proverbs 13:19 says, It ispleasant to see dreams come true. (NLT) Thenight I stepped on African soil, it was more

    pleasant than I had ever imagined. PraiseGod, my life long dream was now a reality! Tobe face to face with Sister June Cranston-Young and the people of Sierra Leone broughtgreat joy to my heart. What a marvelous Godwe serve!

    What dream has God given you? As youcommit your work, desires and dreams to yourHeavenly Father, He will bring them to pass aspromised in Psalms 37:5, Commit thy wayunto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shallbring it to pass. Even though dreams maytake what we perceive as a long time, God re-minded me that what we learn along the path isas valuable as the destination.

    Be encouraged to never give up. In 2 Corin-thians 4:15-16, Paul admonishes us, As Godreaches more and more people, there will begreat thanksgiving and God will receive moreand more glory. That is why we never giveup. (NLT) All glory be to God who made theway through Jesus Christ, our Lord, and sentus the Holy Spirit to empower us to walk thepath to fulfilled dreams.

    In Gods Grace!
