READ MISSION REPORT 2000 PASTORS FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT

Biblically founded truths from a true Apostolic Minister of God's Word.  Dr. Irene Faulkes Ministry has reached out to over a million souls around the world during a lifetime of ministry.  Tens of thousands wonderfully saved and baptised with the Holy Spirit. 

At the age of twelve, Irene felt she would be a missionary.  All through her teen-age years she had the desire to minister the gospel and was always involved in church work from an early age.  This included youth activities, music, Sunday School and Open Air Gospel meetings.

The call of Christ was always there until finally it met with fruition.

"So send I you", said the Lord Jesus.

She knew the reality of what David the Psalmist said, "In your Presence, O God, is fullness of joy and at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore".

Much spiritual activity and Bible study preceded the actual departure from Australia in faith, to do missionary work in Indonesia.  Quite a few years were spent there, before returning to Australia for about four years.  After that there has been an annual ministry overseas, in quite a few countries - such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, The Philippines, U.S.A., Germany, England, India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

She has proved that despite a lack of finance, there is a tremendous harvest and overwhelming blessedness in seeing the multitudes touched by Jesus in response to His simple command to "Go into all the world and preach the gospel"..                         

"...Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts." Zechariah 4:6

Pentecostal and Denominational People

Dr. Irene Faulkes was born into one of the earliest Pentecostal families in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Her father, Arthur Martinson, was reared in Estonia in the Russian Orthodox Church. He fought with the British Army in France in World War I where he was converted under the preaching of Gypsy Smith from England.  When the war was over, he migrated to Australia when he later met the early Pentecostals.  He believed their message and was baptised with the Spirit.   Her mother, who was Maud Biggs of Mapleton pioneer family, had a Methodist background, going back some generations.  On meeting Irene's father, she was baptised with the Spirit.  They were in the fledgling Pentecostal groups, attending later the meetings of Van Eyck in Druid's Hall, Brisbane.   Irene attended Pentecostal churches from childhood and Cec was blessed to be a believer in their midst from about age seventeen.  He had been converted under two Church of Christ evangelists, one being Henricksen.  He then brought in his whole family. With his parents, two sisters and a brother, he became Pentecostal at the time of Van Eyck, who sadly, succumbed to serious moral sin.

Irene has been ministering for Christ for over sixty-five years, beginning in her teen-age years. She and her first husband, Cecil Bonney, pastored Assemblies of God churches in Australia for some years and were also involved in pioneering, Christian education and children's work. Her ministry of the baptism with the Spirit began to develop during those years, having been greatly influenced by Sister Groves and Pastors Duncan and Fulwood.  They became involved in the early Charismatic Move in the mid-sixties.

In answer to the Spirit's call they went to Indonesia where they ministered in thousands of Churches seeing virtually everyone revived with many hundreds of thousands of believers baptised in the Holy Ghost, people born again, miracles of healing and a dead babe in the womb born alive. For over thirty years this ministry saw God "confirm the Word with signs and wonders and gifts of the Holy Ghost". The book of Acts lives again! On some occasions, people at death's door were miraculously raised to life and health. On one occasion a child dying of stomach cancer was instantly healed on a Word of Knowledge. When his mother returned home she found him well. Irene stayed with them four years later. The child was thriving. The lame walked. Deaf and dumb were healed. Irene also ran a Bible School there.

 Once in a denominational church 100 years old the first altar calls ever were given. One night, 1,200 came forward to accept Christ, weeping as they came. A mad girl, who barked like a dog continually, also deaf and dumb, was healed. Many miracles took place. Such was the case wherever they went.

They had to return to Brisbane, Australia due to Cecil's heart trouble. Invited to become involved as Pastors with the growing Christian Outreach Centre, they saw Brisbane receive a Sovereign Move of God.  There they were used in seeing many thousands baptized in the Spirit, speaking in tongues. This was an important feature of the move of God in Brisbane that affected much of Australia in the late seventies, where she also taught in their first Bible School.

She and Cecil left Australia and began to minister all over Singapore and Malaysia in the early years of the Charismatic move there. This was in an Anglican Cathedral and Anglican churches, Methodist churches and in  seminars, Full Gospel Businessmen's meetings, home meetings, Mainline and Pentecostal churches. Often miracles and healings took place and hundreds were baptized in the Holy Spirit. Also, they ministered in Thailand, where a reported healing of cancer occurred.  They visited the Philippines for ministry amongst the Episcopalians. A Bishop requested teaching on "How to be born again" for his people. Hundreds received the experience and all, including the Bishop, were baptized in the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues. On a visit to England, they conducted a healing campaign in a London church. For the first time, those people saw many healings. This church embraced healing and was a few years later featured on Australian Television for its ministry. In 1987, Cecil went to be with the Lord. Their ministry had been to the super rich and famous, politicians, those well-educated and well-positioned in life and on the opposite end of the pole to the multitudes of the poor.

 Irene was later remarried,  to Canadian Peter Faulkes.  In her ministry in Asia, healings, from cancer, heart trouble, madness and other diseases have been recorded. A child and a young girl were raised from the dead. Once two gang leaders, murderers of many and rapists of hundreds of women made a stand for Christ. Crowds of people from all denominations in one meeting were filled with the Holy spirit, received prophecies and some even begin to prophesy.  The people were generally led into true worship in the Holy Ghost, according to John 4:24.  She has ministered on Television.  In all the ministry there is a major emphasis on the in-depth preaching and teaching of the gospel and the Word of God and  manifestation of the nine gifts of the Holy Ghost. Peter involves himself in the Video, Writing and Audio Tape ministry. He also handles the extensive computer work after Irene types her writings. He is the organizer of the printing program for her authorship. She has written books such as, They Speak With Tongues, The Promise of The Father and Upon All Flesh, into its fourth edition, and many others, some on salvation, baptism in water, The Trinity, Christ, Epistles and other relevant writings.

They minister with Pentecostal  churches and inter denominationally, sometimes holding seminars for  Pastors, youth and women, in campaigns for the unsaved and those needing the baptism in the Spirit.  They emphasize salvation and the Word of God, Holy Ghost worship, Gifts of the Spirit, healing, deliverance, victory over sin and the teachings of Paul, Peter and John in their epistles.   Often Bible Schools or Seminaries request teaching ministry.  Between them Cecil and Irene Bonney (now Faulkes) would have seen and heard around 1,000,000 speaking in other tongues.  "It is not by might, nor by power but by My Spirit", says the Lord.

Irene considers and knows it all to have been heaven given privileges under the grace of God.  The greatest of all blessings is to be saved by the blood of Christ, chosen, redeemed and to be a pilgrim and a stranger in this world.

Ministry To India    (NEW)

 It is four years since we ministered in Pakistan and age, health and lack of finance dictated we finish with that wonderful event amongst the Brethren when many were baptized with the Holy Ghost and quite a few campaigns were conducted attended by all and sundry.

    The Lord moved supernaturally and specifically in His directing our return to India. 

    This time, ministry was to up to 2,000 Pastors, with some wives, evangelists and other workers.  It was a "wonder" time by Him whose Name is "Wonderful".  There were also a few Women's Seminars that averaged around 100 each time.  Although for Women, the message was not directed to that sex but was as is found in Acts, Ephesians and Hebrews in particular.   There were always churches in various places wanting the ministry.  Irene preached (and sometimes taught) supernaturally in the power of the Holy Ghost and with Gifts of the Spirit.  In the several places that were visited, all requested a repeat next year.

     The Lord had impressed Irene to minister on "The Power of God, viz. that of the Holy Ghost and His Gifts, including the baptism with the Holy Ghost according to Acts 1:4,8 and 2:4.  The miracle power of God was at work with the grace of ministry.  The general response was that "No one gives us seminars like this".  There was some small opposition and objections by a few Brethren and Baptist, but in general, the Pentecostals, Charismatics, Denominational (C.S.I.), Brethren and Baptist Pastors who attended received the messages eventually, 100%.  The dozen or so church meetings we had were also fruitful with the people being filled with the Holy Ghost, including some children, worshipping in the Holy Ghost and praying in the Spirit, i.e. in other tongues.

    Irene emphasized the grace of God through Christ in the gospel and the power of God through Christ's giving the baptism with the Holy Ghost and then there being the way open to seeking and receiving the manifestation of the nine Gifts of the Holy Ghost.  She insisted that the gospel has provided for both, that the gospel of grace be preached in its entirety and that the power of God through the Baptism with the Spirit and the Gifts of the Spirit must play a major part in all preachers' ministries.  There was a clarification about "power", "dunamis" that is "miraculous power", "the miracle itself", "working of miracles" - as in Acts 1:8; 2:4; Ephesians 1:19a; 3:16,20; Galatians 3:5; 1 Thessalonians 1:5; Romans 15:13; 2 Timothy 3:5 (denying the "power" thereof) - all having "dunamis" for us today as in Acts 1:8;2:4.

   Where occasion warranted it, Irene moved in the Gifts of the Word of Wisdom, Word of Knowledge, Healing, Faith and Miracles with Prophecy.  Some Pastors and people stepped out in the gifts of Tongues, Interpretation and Prophecy for the first time.  On another occasion, a few said they knew they had received certain Gifts of the Spirit after prayer in the meeting.

    A woman was miraculously healed to the amazement of her Hindu Doctor, who said he could do with such prayer,  The healing occurred after Irene laid hands on her.  Things were not normal and the doctor wanted to do a Caesarean delivery.  She had new tests and the doctor then said she now showed normal and would be able to deliver the child without Caesarean, which she did.  There were healings of Sinusitis and an abnormality in a woman's body, after Words of Knowledge and laying on of hands regarding those complaints.  In another meeting of about forty people, Irene had Words of Knowledge, that there were cases of Diabetes, Leukaemia and Bronchitis.  She gave out the first, Diabetes and one woman was there with that disease.  She had to be assisted as she walked to the front.  When it came for Leukaemia, sure enough there was one woman.  Then Bronchitis was announced.  At first, no one responded and the leader of the meeting said, "No one has it".  Irene responded, "The other two were here.  Someone has Bronchitis".  Sure enough, one woman came forward for healing from Bronchitis.  

   Peter spent most of his time printing their books in English for distribution, from most of the titles listed on this site.  There were also hundreds of books in Tamil on "Baptised With The Holy Spirit ", "True Baptism" and "Not The Law - But The Holy Spirit".  Many hundreds of people were baptised with the Holy Ghost, speaking in other tongues.

  The power of God was evident in every meeting, in every seminar and in every place where we had Women's Meetings as well, when generally over a hundred would attend, all receiving the Holy Ghost as they did in the book of the Acts.  There was a great receptivity within them by the Spirit to the preached Word, not only in the Women's Meetings but in all the Pastors' Seminars and in every church service.  The Word of Christ according to the Epistles, preached in the power of the Holy Ghost, engendered a mighty response.  Those who at first were against such supernatural things, in the main, ended up (90% to 100%) receiving and agreeing with the preached Word of Christ.  Many were filled with the Holy Ghost.
