February 2020 – Partner Update
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...

Dear Partners, Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life. Thank you for the outpouring of your love in your letters cards and gifts to help at this time of many expenses. I had planned to respond to each one of you but more and more kept coming and I think it would take many weeks to answer each one individually as I intended, but let me say to all of you THANK YOU! I have felt the arms of your prayers and blessings surrounding and upholding me through these weeks. My message this week turns our attention to the...

Dear Partners, Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life. As I am sure most of you have heard, my wife Nancy passed into the presence of the Lord on Resurrection Sunday morning. At the time of preparing this partner letter and message I am unable to express my feelings – I am still in shock and feeling the vast emptiness of life going on without her. She was not only my wife but best friend and co-laborer together in this ministry, living unconditional love as she watched over all of the running and planning of the...

Dear Partners, Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life. I have revisited a text that has blessed us in the past for this month’s message, the fact that we are His workmanship. The fascinating truth is that He is the artist, the maker, the one who fashions and sculpts our lives. He makes us according to the pattern who is Jesus. I believe that this message will activate desires of the Spirit in you to live to the fullest as Christ in this world. April is a very full month for me and for all the staff who are involved...
