Thank You for My Friends

I sit here this morning thinking of and praying for my dear friends who continue to put their whole heart and life into ministering to others as they serve Jesus throughout the world.

There is Dan and Sharon and their children as they lead the way in Japan where numbers are often small and little support is given because of this. However after serving nearly 40 years, I see them excited about proclaiming Jesus to this nation. God will provide for them because he is an on time God.

I see Paul and others who keep in touch in India against all odds as they see fellow labors homes, churches, and families destroyed. I pray Lord lift them up this morning, protect them and provide for them as they share their love of Jesus at the very expense of losing their lives.

I hear from Pakistan and how unpopular it is to be a Christian yet they continue on for God. Thank you Lord for these faithful friends.

I received a note from Paul who recently gave up a nice church in Tennessee and took his family to Honduras and is so excited about working with Curt and Cheryl with the deaf ministry. Lord bless them this morning. Curt has had another serious bout with cancer this week and needs a touch of God; lift him up in your prayers.

Join me in prayer for ministers like John who continue to pastor while in his 80’s but loves God and people so much he just keeps on going.

Several friends from different parts of Africa labor for the master each day in hopes of reaching one more soul. There are so many giving and giving until it hurts.

Lord, there are so many but you see them all and we ask you to touch them with your loving had of mercy. I know I will forget someone but you Lord will not let them down.

I pray for John who ministers with the laborers in CIS in Ukraine, Russia Siberia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and China, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Georgia, Mongolia, Armenia and the Baltic States. While the window is open Lord give us these souls for your harvest.

Lord bless Gary and those laboring in Nigeria, Bulgaria, Pakistan, Russia, Nepal, India, Burma, and China, many of these go literally into the hedges and byways to reach souls for Jesus.

And then, there is Charles, 81, worked over 60 years for the Lord in many areas of the world but still has a heart for a door that has been opened in China to be walked in so China can hear about Jesus. Provide while the door is open Lord so we may reach these souls.

Yes, Lord, is what these and others have said to your will and your way and we want to lift them up in prayer and we want to thank you for allowing them to be our friends in ministry today.

And oh yes, I would never fail to be thankful to those who are at home who continue to labor with love to help sustain all these on the field. Bless our local ministers and ministries as we continue to hear the cry and send forth new workers and monies to see the needs met in all ministries in Jesus name I pray.

Forgive my indulgence this morning but all fellow labors need to be lifted up with love, prayer, and thanksgiving. Thank you Lord, I am blessed with so many friends.
Thank you my friends for your love and prayers and for allowing me in your life today.

Yes, Jesus is the one, yes he’s the only one, let him have his way until the day is done, and when he speaks you know the clouds will have to go, just because he loves you so. Thank you Jesus!

1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

Come Down From That Ivory Tower

Hebrews 11 has become known as the "Hall of Faith." The reason is quite simple. The writer spends a great deal of time giving a role call of the heroes of the faith. After all, this chapter is about faith, and what better way to teach faith than to illustrate with some real-life examples. Mos of the people in this chapter are well-known, at least by anyone who spent time squirming in a Sunday School class as a small child, or who watched the late-night movies on the local channels featuring their stories. Who were they? Abel, Enoch and Noah. Abel pleased God with his excellent offering, Enoch was so close to God that he actually walked with God to the point that one evening, while walking God said to Enoch, "we are closer to my house than we are yours, so why don't you just go home with me?" Of course, Noah built an ark (according to God's instructions) that saved mankind from total destruction. Then there was Abraham...the father of the faithful. He

A question about your church...

This last few days I have been in the State of Kentucky. I came here with my wife, whose father was having medical tests as of the results of a probable heart attack. He seems to be doing well (as of tonight) and is scheduled for one more test, then hopefully he will be released and further treatments to bring him to health. While this is a scary moment for my wife's family it has also been a time to step away from the daily work and observe others around us. Since Debra's father is a pastor (Church of God of Prophecy, Central City, KY) there have been visits from the State Presiding Bishop, Scott Gillum, area pastors and of course some of his church members. It is heartening to watch the love and concern that is show by those visiting. There has also been quite a few of Debra's extended family here, along with her younger brother and his family. I've watch the nurses and technicians at the Owensboro Medical Center demonstrate concern and what seems to be good care

The family will receive visitors Friday at Rush Funeral Home from 2-4 and 6-9 p.m. Dr. David Horton, a veteran member of the Lee University music faculty, died suddenly Monday evening following an apparent heart attack.

His wife Virginia was with him as they returned to their hotel following dinner when he suddenly collapsed and was rushed to a hospital. "We are all stunned and deeply saddened by this unexpected loss," said president Dr. Paul Conn. "There are few people who have ever made such a huge impact on the life of Lee University as Dr. Horton has made. He and his wife Virginia have poured themselves into the lives of so many s
