Re: The Life and Ministry of Billy and Shirley Col

I can't find it now but I think the Coles were in Thailand about three years before anyone received the Holy Ghost baptism. Many were baptized in Jesus' name but people just were not receiving the Spirit baptism.

On pages 97 and 98 he says:

"In the very first service where converts received the Spirit, the Holy Ghost came in suddenly, just like on the Day of Pentecost! The converts there were seated on split-log benches, (They had taken logs, split them in half, and made benches with no seat backs. The benches had been placed under a building made of bamboo and grass.) The Holy Ghost fell on them all at once, and it was accompanied by a sound like a rushing mighty wind! Several Buddhist neighbors came running, because they thought an airplane had crashed. When asked why they thought that, they said they had heard a sound come down that sounded like 'WHOOO!'".

Then on page 125 he says:
"After the breakthrough in Thailand, we averaged probably one hundred people per month receiving the Holy Ghost. We would seek out those who needed a miracle, and work with them and pray for them. The Lord would heal them, and people would be converted as the result of the healing or miracle."
