International Newsletter June 2012
Dear Friends
I first met Cocke a few years ago in one of the most important clubs in Santiago, Chile. He was the lead guitarist in a well known Chilean metal band and was responsible for mixing our sound that night. The atmosphere in the club was crazy and lots of drugs and alcohol were being consumed.

While my band No Longer Music was waiting backstage, one of the singers in a band that was performing before us collapsed backstage because he had taken too much speed. When we started to play and the crowd understood that our message was about Jesus, they began to jeer and swear while a pornographic video played on a TV behind the bar.
Despite all of this, when I was preaching at the end of our show some said they felt a “life force” coming from my body - their way of describing the Holy Spirit.
The next day we were playing in an old warehouse. Before my translator could translate for me, Cocke began to translate passionately from the sound board telling people that Jesus was the answer. Afterwards I asked Cocke why he did that and he said that he didn’t want to but when I started to speak he began shaking and sweating and the words were “forced out of his mouth”. He was not a follower of Jesus and yet the Holy Spirit was so strong that he had to translate my preaching. A day or two later he fell to his knees and gave his life to Jesus. Now he has a family and is a passionate young evangelist and wants to begin a Chilean No Longer Music to reach this lost generation in Chile and other Spanish speaking countries in South America. 
He and his family are just one example of those who will be attending the Steiger Radical Missions School (RMS) in Krögis, Germany that is starting this month.
Another girl - Ewa from Poland (who is on the European No Longer Music team this year) - came to Jesus through a No Longer Music show in Poland. In fact in Poland we will be doing 12-15 evangelistic concerts throughout the country and many are being organized by people who came to Jesus in previous No Longer Music concerts.
It is so encouraging to see such a history of people coming to Jesus and the long lasting fruit and multiplication that is occurring. Pray that, as we embark on our European/Middle Eastern tours, thousands have the opportunity to hear about God’s love and that new ministries and churches continue to be raised up as a result.
Also pray for Jodi and Luke and the rest of the RMS leader-ship team in Krögis, Germany. We are full to overflowing this year in Krögis with potential radical young missionaries and staff from Poland, Germany, England, Chile, Brazil, USA, Swaziland, India, Nigeria, Turkey, Ukraine, Russia and New Zealand. It is a real challenge to house all of those that are coming this year. A great problem to have!!
Thank you for your prayers and support. You truly do hold our hands up in the battle!
