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 senior
pastor 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.

Pastor Annmarie is an anointed teacher and preacher of the Gospel of Jesus


Christ and holds a theological degree in Christian Education as well as a Bachelor of
Science degree in ISM, and a Master of Education degree. Pastor Annmarie has been
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 preach


deliverance to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, and to set at liberty them
that are bruised, and to leading God’s people into victorious living in spite of the
obstacles.

The cover picture and the ones below were taken during Pastor Annmarie’s mission to
Sierra 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
season—and protect the clay walls from getting soaked and collapsing.
Many of the children come to school hungry—and 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. We’d like to see them get a ‘salary’ of
10 euros / 10 dollars / 10 pounds.

The Paradoxical Truth About
the Mountain and Valley Ministry
Written by Pastor Francis Quansah

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 under
the 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 all
men, 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 realized
that there are many saints out there who are honestly and sincerely committed to the work of
God but, unfortunately, they are confused and frustrated. Especially, when they compare
themselves and their ministry to others and find out that they are struggling while others are
enjoying 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 the
right 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. I
am 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 call
to 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. It’s been
a little over a quarter of a century since I acknowledged the call of God to preach His Word. I
realized that it has been about two decades of consistent pastoral work.

7
As I sat pondering these thoughts, I enjoyed moments of joy and glorious times when I saw
myself on top of the mountain of honor and fame. Everything went well and what a joy
there was in ministry. I then recounted moments of distress where the going had been tough
and unpleasant. As I looked deeply into all those disappointing times, I was tempted to open
my mouth and say, “Years wasted”. I was so sad for all those periods in my ministry when I
experienced 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 was
thrown into a deep trance and what I saw was a Mountain and a Valley. In this vision, I saw
certain ones who were trapped on a snow-capped mountain, and down below there were
also those who were trapped in a flooded Valley. Both groups needed to be rescued. It was
only there and then that the Lord opened my understanding to comprehend the paradoxical
truth 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 all
heavens, 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 society
are. 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 to
rescue 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!

Cont’d on following page

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, therewith
to be content.
Phil. 4:12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: everywhere and in all things I
am 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 the
rich 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, no
matter what position a person may find themselves in, none is better than the other. We
all have to be content with the Master’s will and remain faithful.

In the Bible, we can speak of prophets like Nathan who was privileged to minister to the
King. 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 ministries
such as that of Billy Graham, who served President after President, and that of Mother
Teresa serving and living among the poor in Calcutta.

One thing is worth learning from both—and that is faithfulness. They responded to the
call 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 at


Faith 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", was
divinely 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 this


awe 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 who I am in Christ with a deeper and more personal
meaning. It confirmed and upheld my own convictions of my place
in the Kingdom, replacing misconceptions and doubts. The Word
was delivered with such power and authority.

10
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 the
52 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, the


ministry of Pastor Annmarie has
been instrumental and of great
inspiration in my spiritual
life. Her God-given ability to
deliver the Word and bring about
change is unique. Each year, I
look 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 minister
to the people of God.

Evangelist Hilary Kamara


Faith Chapel, London, England

Reflections Part No. 3—Sister 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's
obedience and anointing, the Lord was able to speak to me, correct me
and heal me.

12
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 in
His 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, through
Pastor 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 His
Word, 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 come
against a Christ-like mind.

Through effective teaching and preaching, Pastor Annmarie empowered and encouraged
us 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.

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 for
miles, 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.

18
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 that
for the rest of His days, throughout His teenage years
and all of His twenties, Jesus "increased in wisdom
and stature, and in favor with God and man." Luke
2:52. The Lord then showed me that this was my
purpose for this season. Now, the next question may
be, “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 the
Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good under-
standing have all they that do His command-
ments."

2: Seek God's Kingdom first. Matthew


6:33. Don't seek a career or how to make money
first. Seek first His Kingdom and build His King-
dom and the career and money will come.

3: Dwell in the secret place of the Most


High. Psalm 91:1. "And the child grew, and
waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom and the
grace of God was upon Him." Luke 2:40. You can
grow and wax strong in spirit like Jesus if you use
these 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 He
speaks to you. "For the Lord
gives wisdom; from His
mouth comes knowledge and
understanding. He stores up
sound wisdom for the up-
right.” Proverbs 2:6-7. Be
taught of the Lord and great
shall be your peace. Isaiah
54:13.

19
5: Study to show yourself approved. 1 Timothy
2:15. Sharpen yourself in the Lord, so that when your
time comes in the Lord, you will not put yourself and/or
God to shame. You will want to shine as a light. And
when people see you, they will see Jesus. John 12:45-46.

6: Be like Daniel, do not defile yourself with the things


of this world. Daniel 1:4, 8-21. Be careful what you
watch on TV, listen to or what activities you engage
in. For God to promote you like He did Daniel, God is
looking 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! Acts


2:40. “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 reverential
fear! 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 to
be! Without distraction seek, watch, fast and pray; stand
and stay in the God's will.

Do these steps and you are guaranteed to gain


ground in your walk with God. Let the Lord
increase you in wisdom and stature, and in
favor with God and man. The world will have
to watch out because you will be coming to
turn many from the power of Satan to the
Power of God. Acts 26:18, Isaiah 61:1.

Insights
from Pastor Annmarie for the Year 2010

Next year will be a year of more deception (shadows) than


ever. 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, where
things will seem to be spiraling down (in the world, of course)...
then suddenly, things will pick up. Do not be deceived by the
way 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 detail
and, indeed, God was detailed with him. Careful obedience is
what will keep you in an enlarged wealthy and blessed place. A
lot of quiet meditation will be a requirement, take another look
at the Sabbath. You are never too busy to be Spirit-led. Be
serious about your Word intake. Let the Word continue to
transform and inform you. Stay in the Psalms (I’m talking
about hilarious praise), stay in the Proverbs (I'm talking about
the wisdom of God) and the Epistles (I’m 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 JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR TODAY.


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 what
men 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 your
faith in Christ, please email us at annmariemcqueen@hotmail.com
