Feb. & March 2015 – Partner Update
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...

Dear Partners, Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life. This partner message wraps up the year and brings us up to date. The next partner message will be in January 2015. It has been a year of blessing and many challenges and opportunities of faith. We give thanks for his leading us through every minute of it. For some of you it has been a year of revelation in which you have come to know the Lord as you have never known him before. Celebrate his work in you and enter 2015 to grow in grace and the full knowledge of the...

Dear Partners, Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life. In the days in which we live it is imperative that we know who we truly are in Christ. In my message this month I have shown the enormous power that is released in our life when we know the nature of the life within us – the same life that came out of the tomb on resurrection morning! The statements of Scripture regarding not only who Jesus is but also who we are in him are not imaginary, not untried ideas and concepts but the absolute truth and reality. It is...

Dear partners, Through your gifts you and I together are proclaiming God’s love and transforming lives throughout the world. Our focus in these days is on the winter retreat that is fast approaching. I am convinced that the greatest power in the universe is the love of God manifest and defined in the Lord Jesus. When that love is released into our lives through the Spirit we live the life that we were created to live – truly free and at rest from which we work his works in the circle of our world and beyond. Religion has taught us that...

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO ATTENDED THE RETREAT, WE HOPE TO SEE YOU AT THE NEXT ONE! This December our retreat is “Love – The Spirit’s Power”. What is the love of God? Certainly not the impersonal and vague word that is talked of in the new age media! God-love is the almighty power of God let loose in our lives. How do we connect with that love? How do we love those who would do us harm? What does this love look like in our daily lives? Are there boundaries to this love? We will be addressing these questions and much more in the retreat;...

July 2014 Through your gifts you and I together are proclaiming God’s love throughout the world. Dear Partners, You and I together are changing lives by the joy filled news of the love of God that we together send to the world in the power of the Spirit. This fact has taken a hold of me these last days – the power of the Spirit that flows through those who are together and of one mind and heart. Your gifts are not simply a charitable contribution. Every dollar that you send is the giving of your life joined to the Holy Spirit and sent...

During one of our recent clean-up projects on the ranch, we discovered this beautiful cross that had been discarded. No one is sure where it came from or how it got here, but Andrew and Cindy knew just what to do with it. They cleaned and restored the wood and spent a hot summer day erecting the newly-polished cross along the main entrance to the ranch. Thanks to Cindy and Andrew for helping to make the property more...

Dear Partners, Through your gifts you and I together are proclaiming God’s love throughout the world. We live in dark and desperate times! At the center of the Gospel and our experience of God in Christ is radical hope. This hope is totally unlike what the world calls hope; this hope is founded in God’s character and purpose. It is hope that is defined by the resurrection of Jesus from the dead and communicated to us through the Spirit. Without this hope we are alone with anxiety, despair and apathy – the energy of life has been sucked...

Dear Partners, Through your gifts you and I together are proclaiming God’s love throughout the world. God’s love is personal and focused on you! You are not one of the masses but known intimately by the Father; you are one with Christ and enjoy the same love of the Father that Jesus does. What an incredible salvation! In this love the Father has for you He listens to your every word delighting in you and answering you. I develop this in my message this month and I believe it will be a new insight into the love He has toward you. I...
