A message from Howie….
Dear Partner in “Taking Jesus to the Streets”
I just got back from a meeting with a political candidate. I asked the first question of this Christian woman running for Representative, which was: “How is your prayer support?” You see, I believe our leaders need more of the Spirit of the Lord and less advice on how we think we can fix things. We, as a nation, need God’s direction because we are way off course. “If my people, which are called by my name … then I will hear from heaven and heal their land” says the Lord of Hosts.
In the early days of our founding, the fathers pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honor for the cause of “liberty and justice for all.” Now is the time for us to do the same. However, rather than forging a new earthly nation, we must prepare folks for the Kingdom of Heaven wherein dwells righteousness instead of greed, pride and iniquity. To see this come to pass, we must ensure as many people hear the Good News as possible. That’s why we’re on the streets for Jesus!
“He that will save his life will lose it. He that will lose his life for my sake, and the Kingdom, shall gain it unto everlasting life”, says the Lord, Jesus Christ.
As Debbie and I prepare to begin this, another year of “Taking Jesus to the streets” and to the highways and byways of America, I am trusting the Lord and counting on your help. You can be a part of our ministry this year through your financial support of course, but also by:
· Bringing and inviting us into your community just like the believers did last year in Orange Mound and dozens of other locations around the USA…
- Praying with us that God will open up miraculous and sometimes spontaneous events like the Rosebud empty lot concert….
- Joining us at events in your community through prayer, evangelism, follow up, relationship building, music, promotion and special offerings….
- Volunteering to help in the mailings, contacting others about our ministry and spreading the word to local pastors and church groups, and
- Commit to “Monthly for Missions” faith partnership with our mission in 2010.
Unless Jesus comes in the clouds of glory for us this year, we will follow the Holy Spirit around the country again. May the God of all be gracious to allow us to see fruit for our labors, as someone has prayed, “Fruit to the glory of Jesus Christ”.
Love you guys,
Howie
