Bruce and Rose in Taipei Airport before her flight to Spain

Bruce and Rose Gagnon in Taiwan. 2010

In the summer of 1987 I met my present husband, Bruce, in Madrid, Spain, in a local home church. We were both born-again Christians and wanted to serve God with all our hearts. We both had dreams of going to a far-flung mission field living by faith as independent missionaries to the nations.  Bruce had custody of two boys aged 4 and 5, from his broken marriage and I was also divorced and had my 11 yr old girl with me.  It looked like the Lord made of us a family right away and in less than a year we got married.  We then  decided to move from Spain to Portugal, where we engaged actively in street evangelism.

I also started a Mail Ministry, adding daily the name cards of people we met in outreach, sending newsletters and inspirational readings, and conducting Bible classes with those who were interested.  This Ministry has continued until the present day, evolving from a few hundred letters by mail to reaching hundreds of thousands thru Email/online ministry every year.

 

Karachi, Pakistan –  1988

In 1988, our first child (Richard) was born, and when he was about 4 months, our family traveled to Pakistan.

Once there, we lived and volunteered in a local mission who was ministering to the deaf, and running a school.  We also regularly visited families from different faiths (Muslims, Parsis (Zoroastrians), Shiks, etc., in their own homes, becoming their friends and showing them the  love of Jesus.

In this picture you can see a much younger Bruce giving a Bible class to this Pakistani businessman in Karachi.

Although we loved Pakistan and its people very much, due to Visa difficulties and my new pregnancy, we decided to move to Canada (Bruce’s homeland).

 

 

Montreal/Halifax, Canada – 1989 

We settled down in Canada,  where me and my daughter became  Canadian citizens. Soon  three more wonderful boys were born into our family:  Benjamin, John Michael and Timothy.  I, Rose, home-schooled my children full time using the Christian Light Publications Full Program, and other  audiovisual and multimedia resources. Bruce being a musician, taught the children how to sing and play guitar at a very young age. Some weekends we would visit senior citizen homes, and spend time with the elderly, who loved to have the children sing for them.

We have since then been based in Canada, but have also traveled to many nations doing missionary work.

 

Istanbul, Turkey  – 1998

When our children were  a bit older, we felt led to go to Turkey so they would have a taste of real missionary life.  We both heard the song of the magi: “Following a star we have come from afar, in the East we have heard His call...” He even provided the whole family’s airfare by making money  appear miraculously in an old bank account that we rarely used! I went to close the account, and the lady asked me if i wanted the money in small bills or bigger ones. I said: small, please, as I thought we had about $50 in that old account, but the lady gave me $3000! God is awesome!

Our four little pioneers in Turkey!

In the mission where we were staying in Turkey,  we engaged as volunteers in different fundraisers to help the local mission build a school and a social center for over a 100 street children.

In the picture below, you can see Bruce with some of the street children that were sheltered. The school books were donated by local businesses.

Refugee Camp in Ceuta,  North Africa 

3One and a half years later, we  traveled  to Spain to visit my relatives. One day we read in the newspaper about Calamocarro -an African Refugee Camp in North Africa- where sub Saharian people were kept in awful conditions awaiting deportation.  We felt called to go visit them and help the refugees find comfort and hope with the love of Jesus.

With an old Mercedes camper that used to belong to some friends,  we traveled from Spain to Ceuta, North Africa. The only campground in the city had been closed, but by a miracle we befriended a high ranking army man who allowed us to plant our tents in a military camp from where we based our missionary activities. Above we see Bruce singing gospel songs to the sub-Saharan refugees outside of a little tent-Church.

The refugee camp, due to publicity of its unsanitary conditions, was finally closed a few months after we left.  Once back in Spain, me managed to help some of those same refugees find a place to live.

 

Morocco 

Remote Berber Tribes

5

Some years after, we met a very special man, a professor from Morocco, who asked us to visit the remote Berber tribes in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, in North Africa.  God provided again for the trip.

The Berbers we met were farmers and shepherds who lived of their land, happy and peacefully but in a very primitive way in adobe houses without electricity, toilets, or running water.

We lived among them for a few weeks and  we taught the village children arts and crafts, and organized games and fun activities -specially for the hard working little girls who are only allowed to go to school until 10 years of age or puberty. After that they need to work in the fields and help their families at home.

In the picture  above we see some of the young  girls carrying heavy loads upon their shoulders.

They were so poor that they couldn’t afford to buy simple electrical equipment such as cables, counters, switches, light bulbs, etc., and for many years they were not able to connect to the electric grid that the government had provided for the village.

So we made a few phone calls to some of my friends in Spain, whom donated 2 vans full of humanitarian aid, and a lot of the electrical needs that little village had. This  made it possible for each home to connect to the grid and finally have light in their homes. God soon provided the first fridge for the whole village!

Cebu, Philippines – 2007

As our two older sons were already of age and had their jobs in Canada, we decided to go to the mission field for an extended  period of time. Extra Mile Ministries sponsored us as missionaries to the Philippines; we did all the necessary paperwork and me and our two underage sons Tim and JM moved ahead of Bruce to the island of Cebu, in the Philippines Islands. Bruce joined us a year later.

12

We knew some missionary friends in the Rise Above Foundation who periodically ran Dental Missions in the Philippines and had a very well established work. They needed volunteers, so me and my 2 teenager boys joined their base.   We stayed in the island of Cebu for 18 months, helping set up mobile dental clinics in schools, churches, hospitals, jails, jungle villages, etc.  Very challenging but very rewarding.

Sometimes we had to do it without electricity, and used generators to power the dental tools and lights and an occasional fan or two. We had to endure a continuous humid tropical heat that made it very difficult. But God gave us the grace.

We helped organize programs and set up camps where Dentists without Borders (from Denmark, Norway and other European countries), came to offer their free services to the underprivileged children of the Philippines.

Here is Rose with some of the inmates at the women’s prison in Cebu.

We also extended the free dental help to inmates of prisons and other institutions.

Since these precious ladies received the Lord Jesus in their hearts, their lives changed dramatically and they now participate in Bible Studies and Church services whenever they are available in their institution.

14Here is our son JM, helping a weekly “Feeding” of 1,500 children from very poor backgrounds.  Some of these precious kids had never eaten chicken before!

Since these feeding campaigns started, the kids’ performance at school improved a lot. Malnutrition is a real problem in some of the poorest areas of the Philippines.

Taiwan – 2009 to present time

My daughter was also a missionary and married a Chinese man and they were living in Taiwan. Our daughter’s husband developed  health problems and we decided it would be better for us to move to Taiwan so we could be close to her if she needed our help.  Taiwan being a rich country with well-organized infrastructures and institutions, we soon saw that here the need to help the poor wasn’t so great.    But we also discovered  that the people of Taiwan were suffering from lack of physical touch and affection, from stress, pressure in their studies and their jobs, depression, and fear, and that the country had a high suicide rate.   Sometimes we visited people in their businesses to just say “Hi,” and show them God’s joy and love, and share with them the source of our joy by introducing our friend Jesus to them.

We visit hospitals and go from room to room praying for the sick, and bringing them some small presents.  Every year during Christmas times, we participate in various programs singing carols and making balloons for the sick kids in hospitals or orphanages.

Email Ministry and Prophetic Ministry

The Mail ministry started in Portugal in 1989 continued to grow thru the years, but once in Taiwan it evolved  into an “email ministry” .  Now I have over 5,000 people in my contact list who receive regular inspirational readings. Some of them request prayer or counsel and the demand keeps growing as the times get darker and people succumb to fear and worry of the future.

Tragedy hits our family

During Chinese New Year 2014, on February 3, our dear 25 year old son, Richard, who had joined us in Taipei, Taiwan, tragically went to be with the Lord before his time. That day our lives changed for ever!

Heidi Baker’s miracle Visit on Feb 3, 2014

I knew Heidi Baker was in Taipei giving a conference during Chinese New Year, and I also heard that she had seen people raised  from the dead. I sent my daughter (by faith) to fetch her, so she could pray for my son and bring him back to life. We prayed and prayed and prayed in the spirit, waiting for her arrival. By a miracle, my daughter was able to cross the barrier of bodyguards and reach Heidi, who was touched deeply and decided to “stop for the one.” She left the huge stadium during lunch break and came to my home in Tamsui in a car with  her closest team and my daughter.  She hugged me for almost half an hour, prayed, and declared over me, and gave me an amazing word of prophecy (see full prophecy) about my family’s future in the healing and supernatural ministries, which would come as a reversing of the dark tornado that had taken my son’s life.

She told us that she had asked the Lord if she should go to the hospital´s morgue and raise Richard from the dead, but that God told her to instead “go see Rose and tell her how much I love her, and what a wonderful mother she is.”  She obeyed the Lord, and went all the way to the house of a total stranger.  Through her and her team, the Holy Spirit released comfort, peace, and life into us, and powerfully obliterated the spirit of trauma, suicide, depression, guilt and condemnation. When she left, my deep pain and grief continued, but that Shalom, the supernatural peace that passes all understanding has remained in my heart ever since!

She personally provided the means for my other 2 sons to come from Canada to attend the funeral, and stay with us for a few weeks. Anonymous donors from her church in Taiwan sponsored the funeral and all expenses, and even gave a donation to help us in the next few months. Heidi Baker was Jesus’ love and comfort to me, my husband, and our youngest son, and we will always be grateful to her and keep her in our prayers. I only want to grow and learn to be more and more like her, stopping for the one by the wayside; and loving everybody He puts on my way into the Kingdom, one heart at the time.

Beauty for Ashes

The loss of a child is the most profound pain that a human being can experience, even with a strong faith in God and knowing that our loved one is in Heaven and we will see him again.  The first months were like living with a big painful hole in our hearts and a thick fog over our heads; our family couldn’t think or operate clearly.

I clung to the Word given by Heidi that those who are walking in the healing arena from the body of Christ would contact me, and that healing would come from Inside out.  I was introduced by a friend to a School of Supernatural Ministry Training (Amazingly enough, the school was called Inside Out) and attended their online classes. Soon healing began to take place, and Holy Spirit helped me start walking in the supernatural and prophetic in new and amazing ways.

Worshiping my Lord Jesus in the spirit and in dance became my lifeline. I would have not survived without it. A whole new realm of heavenly bliss opened for me after the tragedy, I chose not to “move on” but to “move in and up” daily worshiping in dance and ascending into the Kingdom of the Father.

I had joined a couple of online support groups for parents who survive their children. As I began learning from Heaven how to let Jesus ease the pain, I  found myself counseling and imparting to some of them that same peace and comfort with which I myself had been comforted by the Holy Spirit.  I now, out of my own experience, can offer my heart-felt prayers, my love, understanding, compassion and friendship, and help them with their emotional healing.

Suicide Prevention Ministry – 2014 to present

Seemed like God was leading me to get involved in this very special ministry, because an increasing number of suicidal people have been appearing into my life. It started with one person, and now I have 5-7 people whom I have counseled and prayed for, who are successfully learning to lean on Jesus to overcome depression and suicidal thoughts.  So far they are all still here and living fruitful lives, praise God!  I only pray that the Lord can use me -in my brokenness- as a catalyst to stop other youth from breaking their mother’s hearts  with their early deaths.

Transformation Glory and Oil from Heaven

We attended Kris Vallatton’s conference in Taipei on October  2014 and had the privilege of experiencing live worship with the Bethel Band basking corporately in His presence and glory. When we arrived home, I noticed there were  strange drops of a golden liquid in the screened doors of my living room balcony and also in another window in the back of the house. I felt it with my finger and it was pure OIL!  Never ever had I heard about nor seen oil raining anywhere in the world, and those drops were only on the screen, not on the floor or the balcony or anywhere else! It dawned on me that I was seeing a supernatural manifestation of the Glory or of the Holy Spirit!  So unexpected and extraordinary but oh so encouraging and uplifting, like He was saying… you are well on your way and I am anointing you!

Most people I shared this miracle with, look the other way, argue that “there must be a natural reasonable explanation for this” or just kindly smile at me and change the subject. One woman of God told me I must have been visited by an angel.  Gary Beaton told me in a webinar that this is extremely rare, but definitely means anointing, destiny, and healing.  I know in my spirit that the oil means that He is bringing  healing and restoration to our family and also to our finances, and to confirm it, right next day a lady I met at the conference offered to pay our monthly rent for one whole year!  Praise God!  (by the way, the oil drops never dried up, they are still in the screened door as a testimony three years after!  (updated November 2018)

Webinars777 and “Soaring to your Destiny”

18

Gary Beaton  from Transformation Glory Ministries offered a 12 week training Webinar called “Soaring into your Destiny”, co hosted with Dr. Joseph Peck, from Empower 2000, and another series of webinars called “Soaring222 Discipling the Nations” to which God provided a scholarship so i could attend  during the whole year 2015.

Every week a different spiritual leader, like Ken Fish, Kat Kerr from Revealing Heaven,  Dutch Sheets from the Elijah List, Jon and Jolene Hamill from Lamp Lighter Ministries, Max Greiner of The Empty Cross, Apostle Sharon Billings,  James Nesbit and his amazing Holy Knowing Explosions,  Releasing Frequencies of Life with John Tussey, Katherine Ruonala, Patricia King and Robert Hotchkins from XP Ministries,  Doug Addison, the Tatoo ProphetBarbie Breathitt, and many others. These are men and women of God who imparted  thru these webinars amazingly deep and powerful teachings on different aspects of the Kingdom of Heaven and its accelerated invasion of Earth through us, the true believers, the Sons of God, the Body of Christ, and they had a very positive impact on me and my closest friends.

Prophetic Translations to Spanish

As I have a dear friend in Spain who does not speak English, I started translating all those webinars just for her. As I did, i noticed that the translating was flowing in a prophetic way and realized that Holy Spirit was doing it thru me.  Thinking it must be God’s will for latinos to benefit from this  important current teaching and importation, I started to call it “Prophetic Translations” and gave my finished work  to  Joseph Peck -the head of Webinars777-, who was very thankful. He also gave me permission to share and monetize the translations of the teachings imparted in the Soaring Series.  So if you – the reader- are interested in a Spanish transcription of any of those teachings, just leave a comment and I will contact you.

Deeper and Deeper and Higher and Higher into God

As Heidi Baker Prophesied,  the body of Christ and those who are experts in the spiritual/healing arena would surround my family,  it is all actually been happening thru Facebook!  Is not a shallow social network anymore to me,  as many of the Awaken believers are in my contacts and I daily receive amazing teachings to listen, read and learn from. Someone introduced me to Ian Clayton´s teachings, and although at the beginning they were over my head, only weeks later when i listened to the same teachings, things started to click and open in my mind and now I just have to listen to him daily, as well as to Justin Abraham,  and others.

THE NEST Community

My prayer and dream was to be able to attend to the NEST school and God opened the doors for me and I am already at the end of the second year! It has been a tremendous source of inspiration, a real training in the supernatural and I feel I am being prepared as a mature Son/Daughter of God.  Where else will we go? Only You have words of Eternal Life.

Other Sons of God whom the Father has put in my way so i could learn from their revelation, example and inspiration, have been:

Kirby and Fiona de Lanerolle, from the awesome WOW Church in Sri Lanka.

Prophet Kobus van Rensburg Snr  from SpiritWord

Marios Ellinas, Sam and Grant Mahoney, Stevie McKie, Brian Boshoff, Karl Whitehead, John Graham and others.

I am so thankful for this wonderful heavenly Kainos family!

Financial appeal to my readers

My family is still physically and emotionally recuperating from our loss  and we know that He loves us and will continue to take care of us.

My husband Bruce, who was a musician,  lost his voice in late 2013. Now he is not able to fund raise with his singing like he did thru the years. He is also semi disabled with Bell’s palsy and other afflictions that impedes him from even having a secular job. We live in a foreign Asian country where we are not yet both permanent residents or have any governmental help, insurance, or retirement savings. Things look gloomy in the natural, but hey, we believe in the supernatural and have the total assurance of God’s promise: “My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” .   We know that God will keep providing for us in our present difficult circumstances and even more as we age, as He  always does with His children who depend on Him.  Our Father is an Awesome God! He has never failed us!

I have been involved for 7 years in helping to build  an internet project that will soon go public and will revolutionize the way we use internet. This will prove to be a financial blessing to us and many others in the world!

The SafeZone

SafeZone launched in 2017 the crypto currency Rainbow Currency, the Twnkl which is  well on its way to become Your Everyday Money (trading as YEM).

We have our own private blockchain: the TwnklChain

We also have a  platform called TwnklEstate where people can now buy Real Estate with our crypto coin TEC!  It is exciting, and I make sure to keep everything overshadowed in prayer from Heaven.

But until things start rolling, we have no regular means of support. We would like to ask you to please consider contributing  towards our monthly living expenses, which are only $1,700.

If you are interested in crypto currencies, you can safely purchase them from me in the company’s own exchange. Just contact me.

If you feel the Lord tugging at your heart right now to sow into our lives, there is a Donate Button at the top right corner of the page, where you can easily and safely donate via Paypal or CC.

If you would like to know more about Heaven, how to access the Court Rooms, participate in Ascensions, or just need someone to talk to, please do not hesitate to contact us.

With love and prayers,
