<span style="text-decoration: none;">CLAN SALVATION FIRST INTRODUCED</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">On the first Wednesday of August
1982, our Senior Pastor of the First Baptist Church in Arcata,
California invited Pastor Jack Hayford to speak at our prayer
service. We normally had 13 or so present. Some 500 to 600 crowded
into our auditorium, and 150 more in a basement room with Closed
circuit television. He told us how his mother in June of that year
recounted how her husband and Jack's father - in 1969 - was reading
Exodus 28 for his devotions. The Holy Spirit took over and said to
him, “My son, if you take Judah's name off the red Sardius stone on
Aaron's Breastplate of Judgment, and replace it with your Clan name
of 'Hayford'; and if you take Issachar's name off the Sardius stone
next to it, and replace it with your wife's maiden name of 'Smith';
and if you and your wife will agree to pray twice a day for your two
clans,</span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">
</span></span><u><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>I</b></span></u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>
</b></span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">will
make an effective witness to every member of these two clans
throughout the world, and those of open heart, I will bring into My
Kingdom!”</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">His
wife agreed, and within 6 months 4 Hayfords and 2 Smiths, of whom
they had no previous acquaintanceship - contacted them as new
converts! Then for the next year, - no contacts. When queried, God
said - “I confirm every word in the mouth of 2-3 witnesses (2
Corinthians 13:1); I have given you six! How can you walk by faith if
I keep confirming this word? Keep praying and believing; when you get
to heaven, you'll see what I have done.”</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">Pastor
Jack confirmed what his father and mother had done until the former's
death in 1979. His mother continued with this prayer challenge until
June of 1982, when she informed their son of this. He asked, “Why
didn't Dad tell me this years ago?” “You know your Dad,” his
mother answered; “If God showed this to a layman, how much more
would every pastor know of it? Why waste your time, son?” Pastor
Jack was astounded. He researched this out, and found it entirely
scriptural. He then said, “Whenever I have a one service stand, and
unless the host pastor or the Holy Spirit says otherwise, I will
</span></span><u><span style="font-style: normal;">always</span></u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">
speak on Clan Salvation!”</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">Thursday
morning after he had spoken, my wife Marie and I knelt in prayer for
our devotions. I presented the “Watt” clan to God, and the
“Gaudet” Clan representing Marie's maiden name. But I am a
Canadian Scot in my background, and it seemed a shame to do nothing
with the other 10 stones on the breastplate! So I added my mother's
maiden name of Mosher; and Marie's maternal grandfather's name
“Chartrand”; Next the names of the spouses of our 3 children -
and the names of the spouses of the brothers and sisters of Marie and
myself. I had to add 6 more stones to the breastplate of judgment to
contain them all! </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">Within
16 months, God in Manitoba opened the door for Marie to discover the
family tree of the Lacerts going back 6 generations - her maternal
grandmother's name. 16 months later he opened the door for her
Chartrand heritage. Soon she discovered that she is related to one
half of French Canadian Manitoba. Then in 1996 she was led to seek
her unknown and older half brother in Quebec. God miraculously led
them to him at the age of 75. He gave all the glory to God, and
witnessed for 20 minutes of this miracle to a Pentecostal church in
Quebec. As a Catholic, his life was transformed, and many of the
lives of his 5 children and their families were affected.</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">A
few weeks after Jack Hayford shared this “find” with us in
Arcata, I read in the San Francisco Chronicle of a Chinese clan by
the name of “Hu”, that met annually, 500 of them, to celebrate
the clanship in that city. But the newspaper article added that there
are 60 million “Hu's” in mainland China! I prayed, “O God -
lead me to a 'Hu' to win to you, and get him praying for his 60
million clan members.” Later in Vancouver BC, I was preaching near
the UBC campus, and at the close of the service, a lovely Chines lady
told me - “I am Monica Hu, and this morning I started praying for
my 60 million clan members in China!</span></span></p>

SALVATION</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">But
the above is only half the story. In 1944 in Victoria BC, God had
just saved me as a Canadian sailor. Somebody gave me a copy of
“Herald of His Coming”, and the lead article was “Household
Salvation”. As soon as one member of a household is saved, he can
claim the rest of his household! Noah in Genesis 7:4 and Hebrews
11:7 built an ark to the saving of his </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><u>household</u></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">;
God said concerning Abraham in Genesis 18:19 - “I know him that he
will bring up his </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><u>household</u></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">
to serve me; Abraham used this faith to reach out to his nephew Lot
(Genesis 19:12-13), and saved him out of Sodom and their enemies;
Exodus 12 let Israel know that God saves by </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><u>households</u></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">,
if the blood of the Lamb is on the lintel and doorposts of their
homes; Rahab the harlot saw her whole </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><u>household</u></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">
saved by Joshua at Jericho: her father, mother, brothers and sisters
and all their kids (Joshua 2 & 6); Joshua believed God for the
saving of his entire </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><u>household</u></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">
(Joshua 24:15); Cornelius believed God for all his relatives </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;">plus</span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">
close friends (Acts 10 & 11)! The Philippian jailer saw his
entire </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><u>household</u></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">
saved and baptized before breakfast (Acts 16:3l); Lydia believed God
for her entire </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><u>household</u></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">
(Acts 16:15); and Crispus the same (Acts 18:18). All these are </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><u>most</u></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">
encouraging for us.</span></span></p>

Haddan Spurgeon wouldn't let God alone until all 300 of his </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><u>household</u></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">
were saved; Jonathan Edwards claimed God's covenant promise to the

generation of all his family tree. A check after his death found over
1600 saved, while another family of unbelievers had some 1400 costing
tax payers money through all their crimes and jail sentences. A
pastor friend of mine told how his mother in Alberta wouldn't let God
alone till all 12 of her sons were saved!</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">In
February 1946 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, at 3:00 am, and 38 degrees
below zero outside, God awoke me and said, “Ask me for </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><u>your
family</u></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">,
and I will give them to you.” I leaped out of bed on a very cold
cement floor, and said, “My father, my mother and my brother!”
God's answer: “You've got them!” If it hadn't been so cold I
might have thought of all my aunts and uncles and other relatives.
Within a few years all 3 of the above were gloriously saved!</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">A
lady in Chicago (originally from Georgia) - attended our church. She
pestered me to get her husband C.B. Caple saved, - a most ungodly
man. She wouldn't set a right example, but loved him and didn't want
him to go to hell. God in mercy to get her off my back, gave me a
tract, “How I Learned to Pray for the Lost.”</span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
As a missionary in China, the author wanted help from God to win 40
unsaved relatives back in England. God gave her 3 verses: Mark 10:27

had Pearl come over the following Monday, and went over these 3
verses for Household salvation. In 5 minutes we got off our knees,
because we had the witness that God had heard. C.B. Caple got
glomular nephritis from over-drinking during his army days, went into
a coma, had visions of heaven and hell, and was </span></span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><u><span style="">soundly
saved</span></u></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">

the close of presenting the above two messages, we have a closing
Anglican/Episcopal type of prayer, mentioning each of our unsaved
loved ones by their relationship and Christians name. Example, “My
mother Sue; my brother George; my son Peter; my sister Anna; my
grandfather John; my great grandson Luke. - Nothing more. Then write
them down with 3 dates. Date written; date witness given that God has
heard; date now in God's Kingdom. We stand and name each softly but
vocally, followed by the clan names connected with us.</span></span></span></p>

church in one year had its members report to the pastor 100 new in
the Kingdom because of the above challenge! Some 20-30 years ago, my
wife Marie and I had recorded 3000 such converts. We stopped
recording them after this point. We are not evangelists, but possibly
have seen as many converts as many evangelists, through faithfully
presenting Clan and Household Salvation over the years.</span></span></span></p>
