September 2013 – Partner Update

First we want to thank you for your faithfulness in the days of emergency. Here in south Texas we have had weeks of extreme heat – over 100 day after day. In the middle of one of those days our air conditioning unit that cools the entire office building crashed. The unit had served us year after year for 12 years and just gave up. The price on a new unit was just short of $7000 and had to be paid in full upon the completion of the work. We appealed to you and you responded and we were able to have the new unit installed. Thank you for your love and generosity! And that was giving to ministry! Little could be done until the cool was restored.

This month I am sharing with you on the words “Let it be” – words that showed me the way of walking in faith many decades ago. In a culture that struggles with religious anxiety that foolishly tries to make God be and do what he had revealed himself already to be and longing to do these simple words “let it be”  take us to the heart of the rest and ease of faith. Listen to this message until these words grip your heart and direct your life.

Your regular monthly giving finances all that we do in the air conditioned rooms! We continue to be amazed at the multitude that we reach each week through the web broadcast to the world. I remember when there were 18 of you who logged in to these broadcasts! Then we took a step of faith and offered them free of charge to the world and this year we are approaching a two million person audience scattered through a multitude of countries – some of those countries are closed to the Gospel but each week we enter and proclaim the love of God. Thank you for your monthly support that makes this possible.

We are preparing for our Bible school module four at the end of this month. Pray for the students when the Spirit brings the school to your remembrance. We will be having our annual December retreat on the first Friday and Saturday, the 6th and 7th – the subject is yet to be announced but you can prepare now to be there.  Please call the office to register toll free at 1-800-457-0947, or TX Residents only toll free at 1-830-460-4000.  Seating is limited!

Please remember, when sending your Donation checks they should be made payable to Unconditional Love Fellowship.  If you are purchasing CD’s or DVD’s a Separate check should be made payable to Unconditional Love International.

Again let me thank you for all of your gifts this last month. The summer has been a weekly adventure of faith but the Lord has used each one of you to carry us through triumphantly. May He abundantly bless you in all that you do as we come into the Fall that you may continue to bless the world.
