Today, I'm declaring that you are blessed beyond measure and that all the promises of God are springing forth in your life!  In these trying times, YOU are the opportunity for God to perform a miracle, as testimony of His power.  So SEND your prayer requests this month and I will include you in our first 7 days of our New Year's PRAYER and FASTING.  We will believe for that miracle that God has promised you!

Watch today's Christmas Day message!

As we approach the end of 2020, I'm so grateful to God for the miracles that have kept our doors open.  The COVID pandemic has made our ministry MORE important than ever.  The Church is an essential service in the time of storm.  A lighthouse in the darkness.  We have seen MORE souls saved every week as we see a renewed hunger for God.

At the same time, the economic needs of people have increased, especially in our missions to Haiti, India, Romania, and the Middle East.  We really need your help to assist HONDURAS at this time.  Honduras is one of the first foreign fields that we began supporting 55 years ago, under the leadership of sister Jean Isbell.  Today her son, Dan Isbell, oversees the ministry that has recently been ravaged by hurricane winds, flooding, and COVID outbreaks.  Eleanor Cooper, 82, one of our pioneer missionaires there, just lost both a son and daughter to Covid, and she is still battling the virus.  This family has spent a lifetime serving on the field!  PLEASE PRAY for Sister Eleanor and her remaining family, including grandchildren who are grieving their parents' passing.  And if you are able, please designate a gift in your offering for medical and funeral expenses.

The pandemic has practically shut down our conference and retreat activities into the New Year, seveerly reducing our revenues needed for operations and maintenance.  By faith, we've taken this time to finish up Miracle Manor renovations and are preparing for an active 10-week winter season, with guest speakers like Jonathon Cahn, Billy Burke, Paul Wilbur, and more.  Our God-given theme for next year is "Fire on the Altar," from Leviticus 6:13, where God instructed the priests to keep the fire burning on the altar and never let it go out.  Spiritually, this is an instruction for us to stay "on fire" for God!  Make plans to be with us on January 27, for our winter kickoff, our Annual Partner's Banquet.  You can attend for dinner in the sanctuary, or virtually online.

It's been my honor to come into your home and keep our partnership strong during this quarantine.  Together, we are preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom, acknowledging the power of the Holy Spirit, winning the lost, and setting captives free.  We're praying for a spiritual revivial and awakening in our nation.  Isaiah 60:1-3 exhorts us to expect the Glory of God to arise upon us in the midst of a growing darkness and deception upon the world.  This is the greatest hour of the remnant church of Jesus Christ.

I'm praying for YOU, dear Partner, today.  Will you take a moment to pray with me?  Right now, just bow your head and pray for what is on your heart.  Matthew 18:19 is our promise.  Jesus said, "If two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven."

Thank you for standing together with me.  Your end-of-the-year donation is much needed and appreciated.  

Joy to the World... and to your home.
