Reef. Max Solbrekken and His Grace Monsignor  Michael                                                                     Gunzi Archbishop of the Roman Catholic

                                   Church of Malta on Dec.6, 1973. The  Canadian 
                                    Evangelist - at the advice of Prime Minister Dom
                                    Mintoff - was  invited  to the Archbishop's 
                                    Residence.

                                    After sharing the Word of God for about 20 
                                    minutes and answering the Archbishop's
                                    questions under the anointing of the Holy Spirit,
                                    he warmly extended his hand  and said,"I wish 
                                    you the best success in your ministry of 
                                    preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the
                                    people of Malta." 
                         
                                     And so ended 1,000 years of Roman Catholic 
                                     Rule over all the people of Malta. The law had 
                                     been put in place by the Knights of Malta 1000 
                                     years earlier to keep out the Muslims. Pastor 
                                     Max Solbrekken had the privilege of leading 
                                     the Chief of Police for Valletta, Enoch Tonna, to
                                     Christ as well as to pray  for the Head Pastor of 
                                     the large Roman Catholic Cathedral in Valletta, 
                                     Malta.

                                                       
                   Enoch Tonna later became Head of Malta's National Police 
                         Force.  The Pastor & the Policeman stayed in contact.
                                                                                                     
                      Pastor Max Solbrekken praying with the Leading Priest
                          of Roman Catholic Cathedral, Valletta, Malta, 1973

                                                 

                  After our visit to His Grace Archbishop Michael Gunzi 
                  everything changed. We were able to carry a weekly
                 religious column in the Maltese Times and the 1000
                 J. W's were no longer jailed for spreading their
                 teachings. And the Gospel was freely proclaimed by
                Protestants and Evangelicals. Hallelujah!
 Dr. Max Solbrekken states: "As much 
as I hate the false, spurious teachings of the 
Muslims, Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons, 
whom I helped to get into that country, God 
in His great mercy  used His humble servant 
to open the 'Door of Malta' for the true Gospel 
to enter the hearts and minds of that people. 

NOW there are many Evangelical Churches 
in Malta. And the Blood of JESUS CHRIST  
of NAZARETH that was shed for all the world 
PREVAILS against all the HOSTS OF HELL. 
Amen.!!!  To God be all the praise, honour and 
Glory! He, "doeth all things well." - Mark 7: 37

A Special Thank You to Rev. David Wulff,  
Chaplain to Norwegian Sailors, for making 
the application for me to preach - which 
was rejected - and for speaking to Prime 
Minister Dom Mintoff which opened the door 
for my invitation to meet the Archbishop. Oh 
how great is our God.! Praise Him!
