May 2023 Partner Letter

Dear Partner,

God is on the move! That is the theme of this month’s newsletter, and it reflects the general mood of the living Church, the Body of Christ. We have seen a move of God at Asbury University, in Wilmore, Kentucky. We have seen God moving in Charlotte, NC, where healings are breaking out at a local church and people are coming from far away to receive a touch from God. There is a hunger for God like we haven’t seen in years, and the same holds true in India. The status quo isn’t satisfying. The answers that people accepted in the past aren’t acceptable anymore. People are looking for real answers to real problems, and they aren’t willing to accept powerless, ineffective answers.

This is a perfect time for The Church to arise! But it’s not a time to simply share the message of the gospel in words. It’s time to stand up in the power of the Holy Spirit, and the anointing of God, and share the gospel in word and in deed. Like Paul said in his letter to the Corinthians “When I came to you, … My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.” (1 Corinthians 2:1, 4-5)

It is God’s power that transforms lives, that heals and delivers. But He wants us to boldly step out in His power and pray for the impossible. So, share the gospel in words, that Jesus can save, heal, and deliver all who come to Him. Then share the gospel in actions, by laying hands on the sick and demonized, and commanding every sickness and oppression to leave, in Jesus’ name! We often overlook this second step in sharing the gospel, and people can lose hope when they don’t see deliverance in their personal lives. Let’s step out in boldness and expect God to answer our prayers. Jesus promises us this very thing when He says, “You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.” (John 14:14)

He also says we don’t have answers because we don’t ask, so again, let’s ask Him for the answers to whatever needs we face. Thank you for your faithfulness in partnering with us. We could never do what we are doing without your prayers and financial support.

Blessings in the Wonderful Name of Jesus,

Thomas
