December 2021 – Partner Update
Dear Partners, Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life. I am beginning with a great thank you and praise to God for all of you who have continued to send your gifts and letters of encouragement through this long time of the pandemic when there has been little communication from us to you. Your continued giving without a monthly prod to do so thrills me – you give by the Spirit’s urging and not by my stoking your emotional fires! These days where we could not meet brought about a new dimension of ministry that...

Dear Partners, Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life. I am beginning with a great thank you and praise to God for all of you who have continued to send your gifts and letters of encouragement through this long winter of the pandemic when there has been little communication from us to you. Your continued giving without a monthly prod to do so thrills me – you give by the Spirit’s urging and not by my stoking your emotional fires! As most of you know I was married to Cheryl back in February, and these last...

Dear Partners, Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life. It has been so long since our last communication with you and I want to begin this letter by thanking you for continuing your support for the ministry each month even though there was no news from us in the usual fashion. Back in the spring, when all this COVID news started coming in, we had to cancel my travels and have our staff shift its focus to online alternatives. Since then we have outfitted our chapel at the ranch with cameras and sound equipment...

Dear Partners, Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life. I apologize for the lateness of this communication but I have been overwhelmed with work and unable to sit down and talk to you until now. My message this month is very simple! It is the story of very ordinary people doing a very ordinary job who make mistakes and discover the unlimited kindness and goodness of God in the smallest details of an ordinary life. If you are at the end of your rope and look at a future that is filled with anxiety then I believe...

Dear Partners, Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life. I am very late in declaring His blessing on your New Year but I do it knowing that His love is not limited to dates and times! I went to Colorado over the holidays and had a glorious time high in the mountains and came back to speak at a conference in Houston. It was an amazing time to watch the Spirit open the eyes of the understanding to see the love of God in a new and fresh way. That meant that January has been a very full month and a late partner...

Dear Partners, Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life. 2019 is slipping away very quickly and at the time of this recording the retreat is just a few days away. The attendance will be one of the largest we have had for a long time and we are on tip toe of excitement as we wait to see what He will do in the lives of all who attend. We will have a full report in our next partner message. It has been a challenging year for me personally, but I report that the grace of God has been “much more abundant” in every way....

Dear Partners, Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life. We have purchased and just now received new recording equipment so we will not have the problem that we had last month. You have a recorded message this month and months to come! My message looks at the prayer and blessing that John gave to one of his dear friends – it is the blessing that I give to you as we come into the holiday season of the year. It is a radical prayer-blessing that offends many Christians! It offends because it addresses our...

Dear Partners, Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life. Forgive me for the late partner message this month – the holiday weekend threw everything off schedule. My message is about investigating the wonder of the joy of the I AM being our strength. It means that as we go through our daily life with all its challenges, opportunities as well as threats and trials His joy fills us, surrounds us and carries us forward! You will be blessed listening. The Fall is giving us wonderful opportunities to connect face to face and...

Dear Partners, Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life. How quickly the year is passing! Already the grass here in Texas is turning brown and the freshness of spring is turning toward the fall! But our God is always now-is, His Name is I AM and fills every present moment with His unchanging fullness. This is the subject of my message this month – the real meaning of “forever” is that He is with us today in unchanging fullness. This radically changes how we look at life’s happenings and challenges. Learn to live...

Dear Partners, Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life. My message this month is a testimony of how God’s grace was revealed in my life in these last weeks. I am not merely reporting as a history of what has happened to me, but rooting it in Scripture that we might all know the grace that is ours wherever we are. Enough to say here that His love that is ours by sheer gift is vaster, deeper and greater than I had ever imagined. I do not say that lightly, but out of the experience of having tasted and felt the...
