April 2016 – Partner Update
Dear Partners, Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life. My message this month addresses the challenges that we face in the changes that take place in our lives that take us by surprise bringing anxiety and the sense of being overwhelmed. Many believers forget who they are and default to a victim mentality and complain at the new circumstances. The Scripture teaches us that such times are a new opportunity to discover new horizons of just how vast the presence of the Spirit of Christ is in every part of our lives. When...

Dear Partners, Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life. We are late in getting this to you but we have been hampered by the oak allergies of Texas which gave me an incessant cough that made it impossible to do very much of anything. But all is well and here we are. My message this month deals with the spirit or attitude of negativity that plagues so many. It comes from the liar and his lies and found a welcome with the old man kind. But that mankind was taken to death on the cross. Satan was stripped of his authority to...

Dear Partners, Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life. My message this month is a return to our roots in the grace of God and the transforming power of that grace in our heart-mind and behavior. We cannot live one moment of our lives apart from the grace of God. Listen and settle deeply into its truth. It has been an exciting year so far! We continue to pursue the vision that we have shared with you in the last weeks by e-mail and on our web site regarding a property in the N.W. of San Antonio where we will meet with...

Dear Partners, Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life. May the Lord bless you in 2016 with every blessing and favor that is yours in Christ Jesus! We are making this partner letter and message cover December and January as our experience has been that everyone is caught up in the holidays and are ready for a message in the New Year. It was a thrilling retreat the first weekend of December. We were full and also filled with the presence and power of the Spirit. Many will remember the weekend as the beginning of a new...

Dear Partners, Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life. We are excited! We have literally one or two chairs left at our December retreat and are taking names for a waiting list. We have never had so many pressing to be at a retreat in decades! We are anticipating an unusual work of the Spirit in those attending. The fact that He has drawn so many together for one weekend causes us to expect a time of transformation beyond what we usually see. We are praying with you that your spirit eyes will be opened to see the...

Dear Partners, Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life. Early on a Wednesday morning a couple of weeks ago we passed through the change of the seasons – from summer to autumn. Our life is grounded in seasons, not only the seasons of the planet but the seasons of life that we pass through all of the time. The Scripture has much to say about the seasons of our life – the times of trouble, of joy, of challenge and opportunity. In my message to you this month I talk about these seasons or times in our life, how...

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....

Dear Partners, Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life. I write to you this month with a heart filled with praise to the Lord for His protection during these last weeks of flooding and destruction here in Texas. To give you an idea of what we have been through – all of our creeks that have been dry for years are full and a local lake (a big one with a large community around it) has been dust and dried mud for the last four years in three days rose 27 feet and is suddenly a lake again! Our damage is minimal compared...

Dear Partners, Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life. My message to you this month is about the strength of God being made manifest in our lives and circumstances. This is not an optional extra or add on to a basic Christianity! This is the Gospel 101 – you are one with Christ in your present situation and His strength is revealed in and through each one of you. This strength is not something that we have to beg and plead for but streams from Him out from His great love for you and is ours to receive with...

Dear Partners, Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life. Forgive me for not communicating with you last month but we have been through a time of great pressure and much opportunity for His grace. Cindy who most of you know as the one who ran our office, answered the phone and filled your orders left us suddenly in the first week of January. We have a very small staff and this put pressure on everyone to fill the void. A few days after Cindy leaving in one day everyone on staff had a major sickness in their immediate...
