July 2013 – Partner Update
Dear Partners,
Thank you for your offerings in the last month. May you be prosperous in all that you do that you may have the God-given enough to be generous in every way. During the summer months we find that many who are on different schedules or away on vacation forget to send their offerings. It is because of your unfailing faithfulness that we continue and we thank you.
I have been looking into the word “Salvation” and on this month’s message I share some of the truths contained in the word – truths that are to be lived out in our lives today. Salvation is infinitely more than a past experience that makes us ready for after death! Salvation is the opening of God’s blessing on us today in every area of our life.
The first weekend of August we are graduating 25 of our students who have studied the Scriptures with me over the last many months. It is always a thrill to send believers into their world equipped with the full understanding of God’s great purpose in Christ. These students are made up of office and factory workers, housewives and some who are involved in ministry. As the Spirit brings to mind pray for them that they will know a special blessing of the Spirit on the weekend of graduation.
Please note that during the summer months, because of vacations and holiday weekends, our Sunday afternoon fellowship will only be meeting the last Sunday of each month. If you are visiting the hill country of Texas on the any of the last Sundays of the summer plan to be with us to worship, enjoy the teaching and join us in the Holy Communion.
Your giving is reaching a multitude of people throughout the world every day. We send out our message of His love over the internet free of charge to every country in the world each Tuesday night at 7 p.m. central time. The message is then put on You Tube and continues to be watched and listened to by multitudes throughout the week and for months to come. We could not do this without your monthly gifts and it is important for you to know that according to our statistics your giving enables thousands of people to be receiving the news of His love every hour of every day somewhere in the world. Thousands more are receiving the podcast and so the message pours out to multiple thousands each month.
May you have a blessed and prosperous summer!
