The Meaning of Advent, "Advent" simply means coming as in Christ
is coming, and for us now He has arrived. This is referring to His birth in
history and in humanity.
We have a wondrous new tool to help you in
your Bible reading efforts!
A Bible reading checklist in "Excel" that keeps track
of your progress with all kinds of cool graphs and tracking features along with
stats on words, verses, encouraging facts, etc. This is also a fund-raising

Do you realize what and why you are celebrating this Christmas
season?
Are you so caught up in the events and planning of Christmas that you have
forgotten the "Christ" and the "mass," which means we are to worship and
venerate Him? Most of us do forget ¾ perhaps not intentionally ¾ because of all
our busyness and neglect. We look with anticipation to the gifts, music,
decorations, food, family gatherings and such, and for some, this means Christ
is the One who is left out as He stands and knocks. As an ironic iconoclast, we
feast and honor Christ while He is left outside in the cold (Rev. 3:20).
Do not allow anything or anyone to come between you and
Christ! Monthly Leadership
Article Is
He Greater in You and your Church?
We must ask ourselves if our deepest desires and pleasures in life are dedicated to please Christ. If you want to grow your church you have to get this
imperative fact: Faith is the realization of God's providence and sovereignty.
This means that God is in total control, and thus, we can trust our Lord
completely. So, do you? Spiritual Maturity and its Importance
We are called to spiritual growth-that is, the formation of the investment of
faith Christ gives us that we give back to Him in dividends. More here: http://www.churchleadership.org/

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! · 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!

Therefore Jesus said again, "Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.
I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go
out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I
have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:7, 9-10
