PRAYER CORNER
T
The scriptures exhort us to make our requests known unto God. In the same manner, we need to express our praises in prayer.
Praise God for:
Who He is and what He has done.
The Lord Jesus and His sacrifice.
Our salvation and eternal life.
The Church and its presence.
The presence of the Holy Spirit.
The prayer and its effectiveness.
The mandate to be witnesses.
This world and goodness in it.
Freedom to share the Gospel.
LWI and its ministry arms.
Another fruitful year for the Lord.
The generous Ukraine giving.
The generous Christmas Project.
Our faithful prayer warriors.
Our financial partners.
The weekly radio ministry.
The support for national pastors.
The financial help to pastors.
The humanitarian outreach.
An opportunity in the New Year.
The privilege to pray for one another.
The LWI Board and families.
The Executive Director and wife.
The Project Manager and wife.
New opportunities to serve Christ.
Our praises unto God are endless; therefore, it is important to thank Him for all that He has done for us. We grow closer to the Lord when we learn to praise Him over and above our many corporate and personal requests.
THE AUDIO PRESENTATIONS ARE DONE ACCORDING TO CATEGORY. THE RADIO PROGRAMS ARE LISTED BY TITLES. ALL THE BIBLE STUDIES BEGIN WITH THIS TITLE. ALL CAN BE SEPARATED BY SPEAKER, SERIES OR SCRIPTURE WITH THE SORT BUTTON BELOW.
“EVERY GOOD GIFT AND EVERY PERFECT GIFT IS FROM ABOVE, AND COMETH DOWN FROM THE FATHER OF LIGHTS, WITH WHOM IS NO VARIABLENESS, NEITHER SHADOW OF TURNING” (James 1:17).
God is forever faithful in giving good and perfect gifts to us. Does it not begin with life and daily blessings for every individual? But more importantly, He gave His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to die on the cross, forgive our sins, and provide eternal life. All of us who know Him can look forward to heaven and its eternal joys.
Continuously and without hesitation, He promises to take care of all our needs. Sometimes, He even provides our wants. As the old adage goes, we cannot outgive the Lord.
God will never ask us to do anything that He Himself will not do. Giving is a perfect example. His generous giving is an example and model for us. He desires us to have giving hearts, reaching out with the Gospel and helping those who are in need.
With great appreciation and commendation, we are grateful to each one of you who gives to this ministry. God has brought us through another fruitful year because of your faithful partnership with us. You will be greatly rewarded for those who come to know the Savior, believers who are encouraged in their walk with the Lord, and special gifts to meet humanitarian needs.
SPECIAL UPDATES
For each one of you who gave to the Christmas Project, we say a hearty thank you. The total amount given for children to have a blessed Christmas was $2,325.00. Praise the Lord!
It could not have come at a better time. In receiving an email from Pastor Tica, he reports that the Philippines had a series of devastating typhoons. Thousands of homes and many crops were lost. Over two hundred deaths have been reported.
Thankfully, none of the national pastors that we support were affected, although the church and parsonage of Pastor Wilmer were flooded. The cost to finish the parsonage is $1,000.00. Our LWI Board approved sending $500 to help in the construction.
During the Christmas Season, the churches focused on the children and young people. A special service was planned on December 18 with a Christmas Program and giving of gifts to the children.
Furthermore, the children around twelve churches in the slums and mountains would also receive gifts from your contributions. With the typhoons causing so much destruction, the needs were great for a bright Christmas. And praise the Lord again and again, that your gifts brought salvation to souls and joys to needful hearts.
LWI of the Philippines also distributed $50 love gifts to pastors in great need. This was taken from extra monies that we send every six months over and above the regular support.
TRACT MINISTRY
We live in a world of deep darkness; it is of great necessity to share the Gospel with the lost. Leaving a tract along the path of life is one effective way to reach the lost. Many people have been saved because a Christian left a tract in their path.
Although we have not mentioned it for quite a while, we have developed seven tracts for distribution. Here is the first six:
BE ALIVE!
ENDLESS JOY
GOOD NEWS
IS LIFE FAIR?
IS THE WORLD COMING TO AN
END?
THE THREE TREES
Recently, we added a Hospitality Tract. Many of us like to go out and eat. Why not leave an up-lifting tract with your waitress or waiter? It says, “thank you” and leaves the simple Gospel message.
WARNING: Be sure to leave a good tip. God’s people are well-known for being poor tippers.
The tracts are attractive and printed on glossy paper. Copies are available upon request.
WALK WITH THE LORD
When we come to know the Lord Jesus, we make a commitment to walk with Him each day. Why is this so important? The world listens to our words and watches our actions. Do they see a difference? If not, they consider it worthless to be a Christian.
We never know where God may place us and use us as an example for Him. God continues to give us opportunities to impress young people and answer their questions. Pray that they will come to know Christ as their Savior.
FAMILY NEWS
It was a special blessing to have Kimber, Kaley, Brandon, and Haley here for Thanksgiving. The time was short but sweet.
We will be spending Christmas without family this year, but we are grateful to be in God’s family. Both families are precious to us.
It looks as though it may be a go for a mission trip this year. We pray that the doors will open wide.
With the radio preparation, recording, and office work, we continue to be busy each week.
RADIO OUTREACH
In 2009, we took a step of faith and launched the Living Word broadcast on a local station in Pittsburgh, PA. Since that time, God has blessed the Living Word broadcast that is heard weekly around the world. Here are a few most recent responses.
“As I go about life, I am surrounded by the light of our Lord and Savior. This comes to me because I know Him and I work to always grow in the teaching from the Word. I know that you promote this knowledge and for that I am always listening to you.” (Faye)
“I live in Liverpool, England. We get excellent reception of your program on the satceiver and always are blessed with your messages.” (Ian)
“The lessons you teach on the radio are a fine blessing to all who hear them. I tell my friends and we enjoy listening together.” (Rhonda)
“I found your program quite by accident and I am very much ready to learn mor from your ministry. Continued blessings in your mission.” (Werner—Austria)
“I remember that old song ‘Keep on the Firing Line.’ It seems so appropriate for these times as we have so many problems in the world. We have to keep fighting for Christ and His desire for the world.” (Faye—Manchester, England)
.
“I am a regular listener of your broadcast. You are in my prayers as you are teaching us all and reaching to the lost for salvation” (Lin)
Again, we receive special prayer requests from our listeners and need to uphold them in prayer. As they face the issues of life, they need our constant support.
We must never underestimate the power of God in this world and personal lives. God is still at work in bringing souls into His kingdom.
