Gratitude means we are
practicing and producing an attitude of Gratitude, of being thankful, even when
we cannot see what we have. This is an aspect of our worship of
Christ-expressing to Him our appreciation and reverence for how He has benefited
our lives. We are grateful because His blood has redeemed us. This also has a
relational application in that it helps us deal with others as we show our
support, appreciation, and benevolence to them for how they have benefited our
lives. As a discipline, this means we are to realize our indebtedness to God

Is
Christ Greater in You? Take up the Cross Part II
In the theme of 'taking up the cross', we see the call for radical
discipleship, to fully engage and trust our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in all
aspects of life and relationship, in all circumstances and endeavors. This
involves and influences all that we are and all that we do. Thus, we must engage
Christ as Lord without reservation or condition, further aligned by our
gratitude... Do not allow anything or anyone to come between you and
Christ!

Yes and no! Yes, Christ is coming back and we will meet Him and it will be spectacular and no words or speculations could ever describe it effectively, especially not in the way most books and TV preachers have sensationalized it. There has been a lot of debate over... It amazes me how quickly we Christians get caught up with programs, new ideas, and putting out the fires of personal conflict, spinning our wheels but never giving full attention to what we are all about.

What is going on?
A word from our Director: Life in full-time ministry these
past few years, and even more so, these last few months have been wild! I can't
tell you all that is going on, most of it you would not believe it, as I am
still trying to wrap my head around it all. The rest is too sensitive for the
protection of our people in sensitive areas. This is hard for me to hold it in,
but what I can say, is, WOW! The Gospel, worldwide (not so much here in the US)
is expanding and moving more powerfully than anytime in church history, we are
planting more churches and training more pastors as a single ministry, not to
mention collectively with other originations, than many denominations have in
their history. And if you know me you know I know church history and do not kid
about it, and we are in the midst of it! It is mind blowing and how awesome our
Lord is! Yet, the pushback from the enemy is evermore so intense. Most of us are
facing seemingly insurmountable hurdles with physical, financial and relational
issues. As giving is way down, dealing with massive losses due to natural
disasters and manipulations by evil people, the board has to shut some of our
overseas operations down, while the ministry is expanding exponentially. I and
others face annoying and critical life threatening illness and setbacks, like we
can't pay our bills or help our sick. Which is frustrating, because it seems
many American Christians are more concerned with chasing personalities, fads and
nonsense like watering down the Word of God and not focusing on Christ, while
they miss out on the astonishing work our Lord is doing! I am sure I am not
talking to or about you, because you are reading this!
Please keep in mind and prayer that we and our ministry are in need! We are experiencing our own recession, but we are trusting in God's provisions and blessings as we seek to know and serve Him better. Prayer Requests · For more ministry supporters and prayer warriors. · Provision of all our financial, ministry, and family needs! · Safety for our summer missions trips.... · Good health for us, as well as wisdom and resources so we can better partake in the opportunities God has for us, both personally and for the ministry! · For the help, resources, and contacts to come our way with the right opportunities and associations! · For the Lord to use us to minister as we research and develop books, resources, and curriculums for pastors, discipleship, and biblical church leadership development. · Pray for a relief and victory over our spiritual warfare situations! Our Purpose is to point to the Supremacy and Centrality of
Christ, and with your partnership we can expand God's Kingdom by becoming and
developing wholeheartedly, fully-engaged followers of Jesus Christ. If you want
to help support us in these endeavors and ourpastoral training overseas, then
please let us know.
There is no question - we are serving our Lord Jesus Christ because of your prayers, support and partnership, Thank-You! We need your help!
We have a $150K shortfall, and we need your partnership to make
our obligations and keep this ministry going!
