January 2007

 

Dear Partners:

 

I write you this letter with great enthusiasm and expectation from the Lord for the year of Harvest in 2007.  Last year we’re able to reach over 26,000 people and more than 3,000 were born again.  Your participation in this ministry played a huge role in expanding God’s Kingdom in the world’s most unreached regions.  Our focus will continue to be in reaching the lost souls, training and planting new churches.  I look forward to your friendship and faithful partnership.

 

This year, I’m praying for God to prosper you in your body, mind, spirit and soul.  Our heavenly Father is going to establish, advance and restore YOU for His Kingdom purposes.  Let me share a few things He has instructed me to do that I believe will release God’s blessings in and through your life also.

 

1.  Be a person of the WORD.  The POWER to create true wealth, health and success comes from knowing God.  Let us put time in to studying the Roadmap.

 

2.  Be a person of PRAYER.  TAKE time to pray or else you won’t have time.  Set aside a designated time to connect with God.  Throughout the day, acknowledge him with a short prayer.  He has promised, “Ask and you shall receive.”

 

3.  Be a SERVANT.  Ask the Lord to show you two or three SPECIFIC areas He wants you to serve this year.  Let us serve our families, neighbors, co-workers, and churches.  Nothing gives you the joy that comes from serving others. 

 

4.  Be a GIVER.  Develop a LIFESTYLE of giving.  Give of your time.  Give your listening ears to someone going through a rough patch.  Give a smile or a hug to the ones you love.  Remember, most important things you can give away does not cost you money.

 

5.  Be committed to a CAUSE.  Find a purpose in your life that will make an eternal difference.  Commit yourself to a few SPECIFIC things and stick with it.  Write down your vision, share it with other often and stay firmly devoted to them.

 

6.  Be a SOUL WINNER.  Embrace the Great Commission.  It is GOD’S DREAM!  Put some love in action to care about the hurting and dying people.  Whether you preach to people personally or send a substitute, let us win souls.  Be involved in world missions and local outreaches. 

 

7.  Be a good steward of your HEALTH.  Respect your health (temple of the Holy Spirit).  How you take care of it today will determine how you’ll last tomorrow.

 

Friend, God has plenty for you.  Jeremiah 29:11 tells us that God’s plans are “to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”  Let us live with a positive expectation from God everyday.

 

I covet your continued friendship this year.  Your prayers are working.  Your partnership is bearing eternal fruits.  Every time you give to Build International Ministries, someone is going to hear the Gospel, someone is going to be healed and someone is going to be delivered from demonic oppression.  Please tell us how we can be a blessing to you and how our prayer warriors can pray for you also. 

 

Thank you.  I look forward to hearing from you.
