Summary of Into Thy Word Ministries 2012 yearend report....

As we come to the close of 2012, we, the board and staff of Into Thy Word, fall to our knees in humbleness and gratitude to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for the incredible work He has used us for. He has provided, especially in the transformational encounters with the true Truth of God's Word. He has used us mightily in the areas of Discipleship, Pastor Training and Building Healthier Churches.

The ministry is fantastic, by His call and empowerment, and most of all by His grace...

Yes, giving is way down, just as it is with all ministries...Yet, we persevered. We have 10 passionately dedicated board members, over 200 people who support us, 2,000 people who wholeheartedly work with us, and even more planned for 2013!

We also extend our deepest appreciation to all of you who prayed and supported us through the year!

Please continue to pray that God will increase our impact on pastors and churches worldwide, helping them better know the precepts of the Bible to better engage their church and community for God's glory!

We can't do this vital Ministry without you!
