June & July 2015 – Partner Update
Dear Partners,
Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life.
Please note that this month’s message and letter covers the months of June and July.
My message this month addresses the fact that in all of the challenges, opportunities and trials of life the Lord is limitlessly with us – not merely alongside us but with our deepest selves, with us in our emotions and feelings as life happens to us. He is with us not merely to know what is happening but to make our challenge His and to unite us with His strength and wisdom. You do not need me to tell you that we are living in desperate days with the potential of greater trials to come. Hear the word of the Lord to you this day that whatever the present or future hold He has committed Himself to you and is and will be your hidden source of strength and wisdom.
We had four days earlier this month when our air conditioner at the office crashed. It was after the rains when the sun returned and the air was super humid and temperatures soaring to South Texas July heat. Thank you to those who heard about this via Face book and sent love gifts.
The days are flying by and although it is mid-summer we are filling up the December retreat and I am already preparing and praying for all who will be coming. It promises to be a weekend of being in the presence of the Lord never to be forgotten. The location is the Drury Inn in San Antonio with easy access to the airport; the date is the first weekend of December beginning Friday night the 4th and concluding on Sunday morning the 6th. Plan to be there! Book early to secure your place. You can book through our office or at www.unclov.org now. The title is “More than Conquerors” which practically shows how we live a life beyond merely overcoming! This retreat deals with the warfare that we as believers go through every day and practical teaching on how we are continually more than conquerors. This is not about aggressively confronting Satan but a completely different approach! Spiritual warfare by resting! It is a retreat on spiritual warfare as I have never taught it before and I am certain you have never heard it before – and desperately needed in these days.
Welcome new partners! Many of you have been drawn to join us in this ministry of the love and grace of God through the weekly web broadcasts and others through reading my new book This Son of Mine. We thank God for the multitudes who connect with us around the world in every hour of the day. John who technically makes the web broadcast possible tells us that in every minute of the day somewhere in the world persons are watching and listening. You and I rejoice together because without you my voice would be heard only in Bandera Texas! If you have not purchased a copy of, “This Son of Mine” it is available through our office and at www.malcolmsmith.org. Call or click today and make sure you have your copy! Many are planning to use the book as the foundation for personal or home Bible studies with their friends. The book is the result of my having prayed and meditated and taught on the parable of the prodigal son for the last 60 years. 
Thank you for your continued giving and for those who undoubtedly led by the Spirit have given special gifts. Every dollar that you send is the love of God clothed in finances and wrapped in prayer – the gift of your life joined to the Holy Spirit and sent forth to world. You and I, along with every other partner do more together than either of us could do alone in our wildest dreams. In your monthly giving you are part of my voice carrying God’s love in Christ in the power of the Spirit to the world. And while we send our gifts we live the message in all the ups and downs of life.
I would remind you that in these summer months of vacations and weddings and things that interrupt the normal flow of life some forget to send their monthly offering. In past years this has made things difficult during the summer months so please do not forget us!
For those of you planning to come and worship with us on Sunday morning we meet during July and August on the last Sunday of the month at 11 a.m.
