Evangelism Coach Daniel King (00:00):
Welcome to the Evangelism Podcast. I’m Daniel King. I’m excited about telling people about Jesus. Amen. Today I have a very special guest with me, and you’re going to have to tell me, how do you pronounce your name?
Martti Falck – The Rapping Finnish Preacher (00:10):
I’m Pastor Marty Mc Mara, and I’m a rep pastor and I love the word evangelism.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (00:17):
That’s awesome. And I love the name of your ministry. It’s called Make Jesus Famous again, and you’ve got these beautiful red hats. They look just like hats that people wear in America with Donald Trump. But I like your message better because we need to make
Martti Falck – The Rapping Finnish Preacher (00:31):
Jesus famous. Hallelujah. I was in cross TV in California and then somebody yelled from the audience that, have you stolen this idea from Donald Trump? And I said, no. This message is 2000 years old and his message is only 12 years old, so I’m going to send him a $10 million pill for copy. And America cannot be great again until Jesus is made famous
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (00:55):
Again. That’s right. Okay, so tell me a little bit about your ministry. Just talk to me here. What do you do in ministry?
Martti Falck – The Rapping Finnish Preacher (01:02):
Actually, I was born again 45 years ago, and then I went through the Baptist Theological Seminary. I’m licensed Baptist pastor and I’m also the Pentecostal pastor. And my heart is for the, we
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (01:17):
Call it Baptist.
Martti Falck – The Rapping Finnish Preacher (01:21):
A Baptist. Amen. Hallelujah. I love that. But I said, good news. Jesus did not come here to bring a Baptist Pentecostal Methodist that when this, he came to reconnect us with the father after the great fall. That’s great. Amen.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (01:36):
Now you like to rap and you like to bring young people to Jesus. Amen. Tell me a little bit about that, because you don’t look like a typical American
Martti Falck – The Rapping Finnish Preacher (01:46):
Rapper. No, I don’t look typical rapper or not the typical pastor. And actually that happened not by the accidents, by the miracle of God. I’ve been doing the world evangelism and I was on a mission trip to Kenya and when the plane landed in Nairobi, there was the beast of I at the airport and some people that where the principles of a Muslim school. And I came out of a plane about 15 years ago and I was stretching, stretching, stretching after the long flight.
(02:20):
And these people from the Muslim school they said is here, famous rap singer from Europe. And Holy Spirit took over and I said, yes I am. I’m a famous rap artist from Europe. And then I said, Lord Jesus, help me. What’s happening? So I was led in a Muslim school in Nairobi and I never prayed brother that much that I prayed when we entered to that Muslim school and then Holy Spirit took over. I had a whole Muslim school saying and rapping Jesus, my boss, Jesus, my boss, everybody, you got to rap. Poor Jesus, rap. Poor Jesus. Jesus, my boss, he died on a cross. He’s my savior. He will come through my behavior. I expect nothing but God’s favor. Say favor, say favor everybody. Oh Jesus. Jesus. My boss. Jesus, my boss. He died on a cross. We had a whole school excited. I thought some Muslim and people, they going to kill me. But people got excited. Whole spirit took over. That was the start of my humble wrapping career.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (03:19):
Wow. And so tell me some of the places that you’ve gone and what you’ve seen God do.
Martti Falck – The Rapping Finnish Preacher (03:24):
I’ve seen God’s miracles basically all over the world. One of the most dangerous places I’ve been preaching was in Islamabad. The carbon exploded in the morning at the courthouse. I and my wife, we didn’t know that if we’re going to make it to the big event,
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (03:41):
But
Martti Falck – The Rapping Finnish Preacher (03:41):
Praise God, that took place and we got to preach there. And then I even saw it. I’ve been going for 25 years to Haiti. Please pray for Haiti after the earthquake. I almost died there. But that’s another story for another podcast. But God has led there and I have even utter absence on Wilbur in heart of Porto Prince and his house was attacked and these great gangsters, they destroyed and burned his house down and a lot of devastation. But we believe that God has not forgotten Haiti regardless of this great hurricane, Melissa, and a lot of stuff what taken place. God still loves Haiti. God will make a recovery, but we need to stand together for those
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (04:32):
People. Tell me about the ministry that you do in Haiti. What type of ministry do you do?
Martti Falck – The Rapping Finnish Preacher (04:38):
We do the prison ministry in Haiti. Then we also teach the kids the English. We have food for them. We have some local people that John and Jerry, they were left orphan, their parents died on the earthquake. We’ve been supporting them ever since and built their homes through help. Haiti organization, finished organization. And now they are the pastors and they go all over there. And we take also care of the orphan people. And I’ve been building the homes for 382 Haston, earthquake victims. So little village in Monrovia, little village in Timon and up in the St Mark area.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (05:25):
Wow, that’s amazing. Alright, why don’t you do a little bit of rapping for us? I will do it. And show us how the hearts of young people are opened up to Jesus
Martti Falck – The Rapping Finnish Preacher (05:36):
When
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (05:36):
You start
Martti Falck – The Rapping Finnish Preacher (05:37):
To rap. And my ministries make Jesus famous again, MGFA and are you ready? My brother? God revealed these rap songs, inner vision, excuse my skin color. When God created me, he was running out of a black paint. But it doesn’t matter. What’s your skin color? Black, white, yellow, whatever it is, because of the name of Jesus is above your skin color. My brother, my brother. Stop watching a black and white tv. God color colors to your life. Yellow is the color for springtime. Green is the color for the summertime. Brown is the color for the autumn time. And our sin are bloody, bloody red, but they come white like a snow. White is my favorite color. My brother, my brother, my sister, my sister. Stop watching a black and white tv, car cutter co to your life. Car cutter, big screen TV for your life.
(06:22):
And it doesn’t matter if you’ve been born in Botswana, it doesn’t matter if you’ve been born in Finland. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been born in Australia, China, north Pole South, or wherever you’ve been born because of a name of Jesus. It’s above your birthplace. And my sister, my sister, my brother, my brother. It doesn’t matter what your education level because you cannot come to God by explanation. You got to come to God by revelation and your fatherless nation need to come back to salvation. My sister, my sister, my brother, my brother. Stop watching a small tree in cell phone screen and let the devil screen over your life. God want to open a white big screen TV for your life. You are not the tail, you are the head. You are the conqueror. You are the winner in Christ. God bless you. And stop watching the black and white TV and make Jesus famous again. MGFA believe in
